Desperate
"X-Xyle, no..." I almost begged. I want him to leave. I wanted him to go away. Because if he stays, I might betray Fiore again. Now that I'm in his arms once more.
"Tell me, Miranda. Does it not matter to you what happened between us?"
I stared into his eyes. I saw rage, grief and passion all the same time. He held my arm tightly, and the heat coming from him seemed to consume me.
‘Why is he asking me that question? Of course, it is something, damn it!’ It kept on coming back in my dreams. Even when I was awake, all I could see was his burning eyes adoring me. His lips were kissing me, and his calloused hands were touching every inch of my body. Every part of me was out of control, and I was losing my mind and my san

Teasing MeI stared back at Xylon, watching his every move. And when he removed his top, I was even more aroused. Oh, his chiselled body, firm muscles, and abs... I'm already drooling over the thought of tasting him. So when he stood up and undid his pants, all I could do was stare at his still-hidden bulge. I bit my lower lip at his length and size.'Oh sh*t, Miranda. How could you, or any woman, resist such a temptation? Everything is there. Everything is right in front of you. Go. Grab it and savour it while you can. You never know when it'll appear again.'I got up, so I could see more of him. 'God, I can't wait.' But then he gently pushed me back to bed and moved his body on top of me.He focused on my face as if analysing every part

Other WomanSheung Wan. That is what they call this place. I looked up at the tall building in front of me. It was made in modern construction and can be compared to some of the tallest skyscrapers in Manila.It looks like a very busy street. With shops and patrons and the audible noise of foreign language veiled around me.My observation of the foreign setting was interrupted when Fiore grabbed my arm."I have a flat here where we can stay. Let's go, Miranda," he said.We entered a narrow hallway and took the elevator. There were writings on the wall. Words are written in Cantonese and below are the English translations, 'when there is a fire, do not use the lift'.

VentriloquistOne week has passed. Until now, Fiore hasn't explained anything to me. I had a hint that the woman was one of his business investors, Ms Aicheng. But why did she hug Fiore like that? Why the heck did she kiss him on his lips?"Mir, are you done?" Fiore called me. I'm inside the bathroom looking at myself in front of a mirror."Just a minute," I answered but couldn't move.It's been a week. Fiore went back and forth to his so-called project. He hasn’t fulfilled any promised dinner ever since. I constantly eat alone. After he drinks his coffee in the morning, he will leave immediately. He's always in a hurry. And he never even kisses me before storming off. Often, he would come home when I was already asleep. We haven't

No LabelSomeone suddenly cleared his throat. It was Xylon who’s now looking at us steadfastly. I bit my lip in extreme embarrassment. I could hardly look at Fiore anymore. I could feel all eyes were on me. Mocking me. Telling me, I don't belong here."If you’ll allow me, Fiore..." We both looked in Xylon’s direction —who was exchanging glances at me and Fiore— while his hand was still holding Ms Aicheng's elbow like a real gentleman. "Ms Ai, meet Ms Miranda Forbes. My ex."A black butterfly landed on my head. I was stained with black pixie dust and my face turned pale."Oh?" The girl covered her mouth like she couldn't comprehend what she just heard. Neither do I! "Well, it's nice meeting you. O-Of course yo

The TruthI laughed quietly at myself. What a fool I was to still have feelings for Xylon. This unexplainable sensation that I couldn't fathom until now."Stop talking, Xyle! It was never your fault," I said without looking at him."You still have feelings for Fiore. I should not have insisted in the first place.""You didn't force me.""Still, I took advantage of you.""I'm not a wimp because I can fight if I want to!" I let out a sigh.Truth be told, whatever that thing is? It was memorable for me. If I was sorry for what happened between us back then, the night we spent
Kiss in the Shadows Chapter 35
The BrotherI was trying to hide the awful look on my face by hugging the black pillow. I could hear the familiar, sentimental music around me. Simultaneous with the familiar voices while I shut my mind of everything."Angel, what happened?""Camish, let’s leave her alone. Mir has been like that since she came back from Hong Kong.""Did that jerk do something bad to you? Tell me. I knew that Fiore was an arse!"I cried even more. I wanted to disappear like a bubble. To be driven away by the wind and completely be erased.I hate this feeling. I felt betrayed and chastised. Even though I kept on telling myself not to cry, my eyes were so stubbo

DispleasureIf I could only see my reflection in a mirror, I know that my cheeks were red as a cherry. My chest throbbed so fast I couldn't properly breathe."Kuya! I thought you’re arriving tomorrow?" Sheena hugged him. As if they hadn't seen each other for a long period. Xylon returned the hug.I began to wonder why she called him ‘Kuya’. ‘Does that mean they're siblings? Xylon was Sheena’s brother?’"They gave me the contract earlier than expected so I went here straight away." A deep voice coming from him sent shivers down my spine that I couldn't move from where I was standing.His eyes settled on me. I turned to Camish who was also looking at me with a

New BoyfriendIt was like having a dream. The phrase ‘a little paradise’ was ideal. I had fallen asleep earlier and had forgotten about the time. I was on my way to a very peaceful and calm place. I realised I wasn't in my room when I awoke. The sound of the spring that surrounds the house could still be heard. I could imagine the trees with fresh fruits and green leaves that sway in the late afternoon breeze.I looked out the huge window and enjoyed the wind on my face. The last time I felt this rejuvenated was during my visit to Fiore's ancestral home with his best friend.I gave a bitter smile. When I think back on those days, they taste like acid and make me want to puke.I have my own space. Camish and Caleb each have one
