He couldn't hold back and asked me that night, as we were about to sleep. I'd just taken a bath and was brushing my hair in front of the mirror. Suddenly, he wrapped his arms around me from behind and gently kissed the top of my head.

"You were quiet at dinner. Is something wrong?" he asked, his voice low with worry. I could feel the warmth of his chest against my back, and it made me want to both lean in and pull away.

I didn't answer right away, staring at our reflection in the mirror. I thoug

  • My Deceptive Heart   Chapter 8O: Empty Pleasure

    He sped up the movement of his fingers and I felt him add another one driving me absolutely crazy with overwhelming pleasure.It wasn't long before I was screaming out my moans with my hips moving on their own accord to match the rhythm of his hand."Ahh... Ahhhh. Please don't stop." I cried out completely lost in the overwhelming sensation.I was already drowning in pure madness and lust when he suddenly stopped and pulled me roughly against him. In the blink of an eye he was hovering over me and drove his hard throbbing manhood deep inside my wet heat.Ah... That is exactly what I needed. His dick felt incredible because it filled every inch of my pussy perfectly with its immense thickness and length. I could feel every single drag and slide and it drove me absolutely insane with desire.With just one powerful thrust I moaned loudly completely overwhelmed by how amazing it felt. At first his pace was slow and deliberate making sure he reached the

  • My Deceptive Heart   Chapter 79: Burning Lust

    Could he have been with Nicole? The moment that possibility formed, it felt like something inside me cracked. My chest ached, and I had to press my lips together to stop myself from making a sound.Should I confront him? The question echoed in my head, but every time I tried to hold onto it, fear followed close behind.What if everything Nicole said was true?What if all of this, everything between us, was nothing more than a carefully crafted lie?What if he had only been pretending all this time, pretending to love me, to care for me, just to gain his grandfather's trust... just to secure his place, his future, his claim over everything the Saavedra name held?The thought alone was unbearable. I wanted answers. I wanted to sit up, walk into that bathroom, and demand the truth from him. But I could not move because a part of me was terrified that once the truth was spoken out loud, there would be no taking it back.That it would shatter eve

  • My Deceptive Heart   Chapter 78: Poisonous Thoughts

    I only nodded, watching her turn to Zeke and say her goodbye. Part of me expected him to say something to me after that, to question my behavior, to defend her. But he did not. Instead, he gently guided me toward the sofa and made me sit down, as if nothing unusual had happened."That family friend of yours... I do not think I saw her at our wedding," I said casually, though there was nothing casual about the thoughts running through my mind. I needed him to say it. I needed him to tell me the truth."She was out of the country back then. She was not here," he replied simply.I noticed it the slight stiffness in his movements. The way he avoided my eyes for just a second too long. He was nervous."By the way, what was she doing here? Is it business?" I asked again, pressing just a little further."Yeah... something like that," he answered.Something like that

  • My Deceptive Heart   Chapter 77: The Lie

    That was all the confirmation I needed. Nicole was his ex. I knew the secretary had been with Zeke for years. She would know his past better than anyone. And the way she looked at me, nervous and almost afraid, told me everything she was too scared to say out loud.Something inside me snapped. Before I could even think, before I could stop myself, anger surged through my veins, hot and uncontrollable. I turned and marched straight toward his office door. Behind me, I heard the secretary scramble to her feet, panic in her voice as she rushed after me.At that point, my mind had already gone somewhere dark. I was convinced I would catch them doing something they should not be doing. That was the only explanation for her behavior, for the tension in the air.When I reached the door, I did not knock. I shoved it open with force, my heart pounding violently in my chest. But what I saw was not what I expected. Zeke was seated behind his desk, composed in his swivel ch

  • My Deceptive Heart   Chapter 76: Shadow of Doubt

    I was on my way to Zeke's office carrying a bag of food I had bought from a nearby cafe. The warmth of the meal still seeped through the paper as if it carried a piece of my heart along with it. I was supposed to head straight to the shelter where I volunteered, but I couldn't resist stopping by first.He had left in such a rush this morning, skipping breakfast entirely after we both woke up late, and the thought of him working on an empty stomach didn't sit right with me.He had just come back from a business trip to Japan, and like always, he returned with too many gifts, little pieces of a place he had been to, carefully chosen with me in mind. But more than the gifts, it was him I had missed terribly.The moment he walked through the door yesterday afternoon, all the distance and restraint we had been holding onto for nearly two weeks shattered. We did not even try to hold back. He kissed me like he had been starving, lifting me into his arms and

  • My Deceptive Heart   Chapter 75: Shatter

    "If I'd said yes to his proposal back then, Zeke would never have married you. We both know the truth, don't we? That you and your family are only after the Saldivar money that's why you jumped at the chance to marry him, right?" She continued, her voice sharp. "I was focused on my career back then. I was just starting to make a name for myself internationally, and I couldn't afford to have it ruined by a marriage. So I told him to wait. We fought about it and he got upset. In the end, he was left with no choice but to marry you to get the inheritance, because that was Don Juancho's condition for him." she explained."Excuse me, Miss. I don't see why you need to tell me this. I don't think I need to hear your story. You should explain this to Zeke, not me." My voice came out sharper than I'd intended, edge with the anger that had been building in my chest.Other women might have started a catfight when faced with their husband's mistress, but not me. I'd always believed I didn't need

    In truth, I was not only donating my paintings for auctions but also giving twenty percent of my income to the charity organization I used to support. I believe I’ve been blessed enough, and I feel it’s my duty to share those blessings with others."Oh, you do? My husband's company is sponsoring a c

    "Sorry to keep you waiting. I just handled an important matter. Are you ready to go?" Zeke, who had just pushed open the glass door, said, catching my attention as I was looking at the painting.I saw him slowly scan my appearance. I was sure he was stunned or mesmerized for a moment when he saw me.

    It was Friday night when the driver picked me up to attend the annual fundraising gala held by the Saldivar Corporation. I wore a black, backless, mermaid-style evening gown made of crepe and lace, paired with black stilettos and a small silver clutch. I felt transformed. It wasn't that I was unaccu

    "Hi! I brought some lunch today, and I hope you haven't eaten yet," the old woman greeted me with a happy smile.The old woman seemed so buoyant and excited, and I couldn't help but reciprocate her warm and genuine smile. She looked so elegant and beautiful beyond her age. Her features spoke of glam
