LenkaMichael had just arrived home and was greeted by Felix, who hugged him tightly. I approached and observed him; he looked tired but still very handsome.“I just met Diego’s girlfriend.”That caught my attention, so I looked at him more closely and helped him to sit down.He sat beside me while I awaited the look in his eyes. “You met her? Why didn’t you bring me along?”I was also very curious to see the face of the woman who had made Diego fall in love—she must be someone extraordinary.“Next time, you can meet her. Besides, she’s been to your café before.”I tried to remember but didn’t know anything about it, so I furrowed my brows. “Maybe we can work together, right?”Diego exhaled, then slowly nodded his head. “Of course we can. I’ll tell her.”I heard that if she was an ordinary person, she worked in Michael’s office. She was just an ordinary person like me, and maybe we could become good friends. At least I wouldn’t feel so lonely living in a different environment, even th
FarahI could feel a very strong pressure coming from him.After all, you don’t expect to meet him. The overwhelming feeling made me anxious, but Diego, who was beside me, spoke up.“Boss Thiago, this is my girlfriend.” He said it firmly and briefly.I felt panic inside me; there could have been a mistake because of what he said. I thought maybe it would be better to speak more kindly, perhaps with a smile on his face.“You really brought her.”Hearing his calm and firm voice made me pay attention to Mr. Michael. He truly had a deep expression and genuinely possessed great charisma.“Yes, Boss Michael. This is the woman I have fallen in love with.”My heart raced after hearing what he said. I was silent and felt warmth inside me. Because what he said really made me happy, but I had to maintain my composure.The man in front of us nodded. “Alright.”“Thank you, Boss Michael.”Then Diego turned and left the room just like that. I was very surprised by the situation. I really didn’t expe
Chapter 125FarahI looked at him several times, a feeling of unease and discomfort flowing through my entire body. There were so many things I wanted to ask him, but at the same time, I was very cautious—maybe what I wanted to ask was something very sensitive.I had also seen the gunshot wound he mentioned, something that terrified me, yet on the other hand, I felt relieved because he didn’t have any other injuries and was still standing before me. I mean, the gunshot wound wasn’t directly in his head, which could have cost him his life.Diego looked at me with deep eyes, then shifted his position.“Is there something you want to ask me?”I was silent for a moment because of his question, then I spoke slowly. His gaze became even deeper than before; I knew he was waiting for what I was about to say next.“Forgive me if I’m about to ask something sensitive or secret…” I held my palm, still very hesitant to speak.“Don’t hesitate at all, you can ask me about anything.” He smiled a litt
FarahPleasure.I could say this felt like heaven, making my entire body burn with overwhelming heat—I couldn't forget a single touch he gave me.He had such a deadly charm, making me feel as if I were always thirsty for his touch. Even when I opened my eyes in the morning, with a restrained smile on my face, I kept watching his sleeping face.Every angle of his face looked like a beautiful sculpture. I touched the bridge of his nose up to its tip, and my smile grew even wider. Slowly, his eyes twitched—those eyes opened and glanced at me."You can rest a bit more. I'll make our dreams come true."I moved quickly, already lifting the blanket that covered half my body and letting one leg hang off the bed. But then, he grabbed my hand, stopping me from getting up."No need to push yourself. I know you're very tired." He paused for a moment. "In fact, I think you're really tired."With everything he did to me last night—and how it repeated over and over—of course, I felt exhausted. But e
FarahI slowly faced you with my eyes after reading a message from my friend. At first, she contacted me to ask about the situation I was going through, and then she gave me some unexpected information.Adrian, she said, got into trouble in Ilanta city. From what I read, that man and his new lover were stranded there, living like vagabonds because they lost their ID cards and access.“Woww…”I responded with a soft, shocked voice full of sarcasm. Of course, I liked bad things happening to them. They deserved it.Remembering all the terrible things he had done to me over time, it was like punishment for them.But a moment later, I fell silent because I remembered something — the only person I could think of who might have done something like that was Diego.“Did he really do it?”I thought carefully, not wanting to be too confident in myself only to be disappointed later. Maybe he didn’t do it, maybe it happened by accident.I took a deep breath, then lowered my phone. Whatever it was,
LenkaSome say that second chances never work out. That they only lead to more destruction and are ultimately a waste of time. But in my opinion, at this moment, our second chance is going surprisingly well.As a result, our relationship seems better—remarkably so. Michael is completely different from how he was during our first marriage. He’s incredibly sweet now and often whispers words of love to me.Mute...I used to hear that word so often. It would tear my heart apart because he would shout it angrily and then curse. Everything he said to me back then felt like it was meant to break me.But now things are better. He never does anything I dislike, and he’s full of understanding."So, do you think Diego has a lover?" I asked as I sat and relaxed with Michael in the house, enjoying some tea. Felix was off playing with his dog."Well, Peter told me, and it seems he’s really interested in that woman. So I let him stay here."Diego was one of the few kind people during my first marria
FarahAt that moment, I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs that I had gotten the number of the man I was interested in. I wanted to tell everyone that I had succeeded in getting his number and share this incredible happiness.Diego gave me his number—which means I can contact him, right? Since then, I’ve been smiling nonstop from the excitement. But now at home, I find myself staring seriously at my phone screen, looking at the number displayed there.“Should I call him now? What if he’s really busy?”I know he’s someone greatly trusted by Boss Michael. And now that he’s back in town, he must be meeting with Boss Michael.I frowned. What if what I’m doing actually annoys him because I’m disturbing his time? I seriously worried about that, letting out a sigh and folding my arms across my chest.“Alright, I’ll wait for the right time. Maybe tomorrow. I think he might not be as busy as he is today.”I had made up my mind not to call him yet, but it still didn’t bring me peace. I kep
DiegoI watched her small eyes widen, her forced expression looked truly adorable. And she had successfully drawn my attention.Now, I had her right in front of me, and I was waiting to hear the reason why she had stopped me from walking away.She reacted quickly, then pulled out her phone."Diego, put your number in. I want us to stay in touch, and that’s hard if I don’t have your number."Her face turned red. Her boldness, despite her embarrassment, was honestly impressive. I took her phone and entered my number, just as she asked. Then I handed it back to her.“If you don’t contact me, that would be dangerous, wouldn’t it?”Her face turned even redder, and she nodded as she replied,“Yes, of course I know. I’ll make sure to contact you, Diego.”I finally continued on my way, leaving her behind. From the car, I watched her bounce in excitement. It was a shame I couldn’t invite her into the car to go home together — that would’ve drawn even more attention to her.“You look like you’r
DiegoPeople talk about love as if it's something extraordinary—sweet feelings and a heart that races. I never really understood it. I thought it was the same as desire, a craving to overpower others.But since I met her, I’ve realized that her gaze holds depth when she looks at me. She often watches me, and secretly, I find myself watching her too. I could say she’s a calm woman, someone responsible and understanding.I feel a little sorry for her—or maybe, to be honest, I’m just annoyed at her shameless ex-boyfriend.He showed up and disrupted Farah’s peace. For the first time, I felt irritated by something other than my enemies from The Noctis.An attraction—yes, I suppose I am attracted to her. Watching her behavior, her face... I’d say she’s a beautiful woman. She handles her responsibilities well.But that doesn’t mean I’ve fallen in love with her.It’s just... I feel this irritation."Did you get him?"I could see my reflection in the glass as he approached, his steps quiet."Y
