Irene
"Did she say that to you?" Nona exclaims, her old weak eyes devastating with disgust and disappointment.I'm seated in front of her at her place after travelling for an hour again. My body is exhausted, and so is my mind. I'm still hoping my grandmother will prove mom wrong. I'm hoping whatever mom said to me was a lie and she was just wanting me to support her."I wanna if that's true", I choke."You know I love you, my child. I don't care if you're Janice's daughter or not", she sighs, staring at me affectionately and that's enough.I feel a big lump in my throat, jamming my breath. She indirectly confessed that I'm not Janice Rozario's daughter.I gulp down my pain and anger, hanging my head."Who's my mother then?" I ask."I can't believe Janice can say such things to you. I thought she has motherly affection for you. She raised you ever since you were born",ChristianShe never looked so peaceful and pleasant while sleeping before. I don't even remember how long I've been staring at her since waking up. Compared to the city, it's a bit colder out here. The furnace is on and she's comfy against my chest under the sheets. My fingertips gently land on her temple, removing a few strands of hair, tracing down to her cheek. She squirms, pursing her lips into a smile as she brushes against me harder. Each of her views tempts me to dive into her even more. As I keep caressing her cheek with my thumb, staring lovingly at her gorgeous face, she rubs her other cheek against my chest and kisses my bare chest. I smile, leaning closer to her neck and coming on the top of her. I missed our morning cuddles so much. She always spends a few minutes on the bed when she's eventually awake but is not willing to open her eyes. We don't talk and just melt into each other for a couple of
ChristianWe got back to the city this morning and Ivanna left for Dallas this evening. She wanted me to come with her but I denied it, making an excuse. She still doesn't know about Adrian's release, otherwise, she would never try to go alone. I'm sure that she's still in shock after that incident because she hardly spoke about Adrian and the police case. She's too nervous even to talk about it. For the first time, I arranged tight security for her while she was leaving. Surprisingly, she didn't oppose that. It was blunt evidence of how terrified she was from inside. I badly want her to fight with me to stop giving her tight security. I want that woman back who hated all this. However, it may take enough time. I'm waiting outside the police bureau for the last twenty minutes, darting my gaze at the door. Adrian has come today for the pending procedure of his bail. And I'm waiting for him to come out. My hands have been yearning to slam the hell out of him fr
Christian He breathes heavily, watching over me. I still can't see the fear or guilt in his eyes but anger. He glares at me, struggling to get up. "For what?" He screams. "I didn't— even—", inhaling a deep breath, he grumbles in a shattered tone. "I didn't do anything. I didn't even fuck her" In no time, I kick across his face and kneel near him, grabbing his jaw. Anger boils through my nerves as I yank his neck. "Don't dare to utter shit about her. You didn't do anything?", I grunt. "You were not even allowed to breathe on her" Grabbing his arm, I use my entire strength and twist it around. His bitter scream echoes around. "Dare to come near her with your fucking existence again, I'll make sure you can't even scream in pain" Slamming his head against the ground, I get onto my feet, breathing heavily and call up Kane. "What's up?" He asks. "I'm shoving this bastard to the hospital. To the formalities and handle the police too", I g
IvannaMy eyes flare up at Irene as she clamours, holding me. For a second, I go completely blank and gawk at her with all the flashes.She lied to me. She has been lying about Christian ever since I woke up after that passionate night. She knew Christian was still there. Yet, she chose to lie to me and also to Christian. She took my identity to trap him. I can never imagine she could do that."You're here?" She exclaims.Honestly, I'm in no mood to talk to her. She must be here to meet her father and she will definitely try to force me again to save Richard Rozario. I'm not doing that anymore."Yes. Just came here to meet my mom's murderer for the last time", I gasp. Irene's eyes widen in shock as she freezes as if she's knowing it right now. Didn't Janice ever tell her? Maybe she didn't want Irene to know Richard Rozario's real face. Who cares? "What— did you— say?" She stammers. "Mom's murderer?""Yes. My mom's. My", I repeat and look around
ColtonWhat the fuck is happening? I scream inside my head, feeling the smoky sour taste of that unfamiliar mouth of that familiar woman. Is she just kissing me? No. She is not. We are. I feel my lips also responding to that abrupt attack. My heart freezes— stops beating and absorbs the drastic sensation trickling inside my body as she roughly nibbles my lips and I do the same. Her small hand spirals up to my neck and her other hand grabs mine, guiding my hand around her waist. Getting the access, I yank her from the waist, grinding her against my body and kiss her passionately. It feels wrong on so many levels because she's too young for me which I never really cared about until she dared to do this.She's 21And I'm 33.It's enough to find this wrong. She's immature. I'm definitely not. I should stop.However, the more her mouth lets me explore her, the more it becomes hard to resist. Darn it! I have to. Without slowing down or fin
IvannaUtterly shocked, I cut the call and tossed my phone aside. Where did he disappear all of a sudden? He hardly stays out at night. I try his number again as Mrs Fisher comes with my clothes. "Don't worry. He'll be back. Change your clothes and take a rest. Master has told me to lead you to the bed as soon as you come", she says.There you go!He's never gonna change this bad habit. He can keep a track of me all the time but he will make me suffer worrying about him."Do you know where he is?" I ask, taking the clothes."No. He didn't say anything", she replies. I don't know why I'm having weird vibes. Christian didn't talk to me about Adrian at all. And as far as I know Christian, he's not gonna let it go so easily. I could sense that he was waiting for me to recover before doing anything. Honestly, I'm scared of him sometimes. Overloading my head with a bunch of t
IvannaWhat? I almost scream out, jumping off the bed, my brain refusing to swallow the audio message. I hear it again and again. Is he serious? I immediately call him out of panic. My heart beats a hundred times faster than any moment. He's not picking up. What the hell! How can he do this? How he just— do this stupid prank on me? I know this is a prank— a freaking prank. And I'm not gonna spare him this time for doing this shitty prank. I immediately climb down the bed, tripping over and rushing out of the room. All the housekeepers are surging around the living room which is really shocking for me to see. There's never so much chaos in the villa. I climb down the stairs hurriedly and walk towards Mrs Fisher."Mrs Fisher", I clamour. "You woke up?" She smiles, turning to me. "Should I make lunch for you? Breakfast hour is over""No. Thanks. What's happening over here?" I shrug.She hesitates, rolling her eyes slowly and forces a smile. That
Christian"Irene is my twin sister. My biological sister", Ivanna says in a calm voice. I'm not surprised. Somewhere, I expected this. Not because they looked alike but the similarities between auntie Jen and Irene. However, I didn't really try to dig into that matter. I just came back to the villa after checking out all the arrangements. And Ivanna said this to me out of nowhere. She's sitting at the edge of the bed in her usual pyjamas and an oversized t-shirt. She looks really upset. I sit beside her and slide my hand around her waist, pulling her closer. "And I think you should be happy to know that, right?" I ask."I'm happy", she lets out a deep sigh. "I'm happy with everything happening now""Then why is my beautiful wife so upset?" I gently bite her fluffy cheek as she hisses, smiling slightly. "I'm thinking about dad and Janice"I purse my lips, staring at her. "You met Richard, right?""Yeah. And he still has the guts to yell against you in front of me", she groans and
