"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.

Zeke was on a two-week business trip to Japan, leaving me alone in the penthouse. It had only been six days since he’d gone, but I already missed him so badly. Usually his trips only lasted four days to a week because he often came home early, as if he couldn’t bear being away from me either. This was the longest we’d been apart, and the distance felt like a weight on my chest. Even though he calls me daily, it still seems not enough. I knew now what they meant when they said love makes even the shortest separation feel endless.My mother-in-law had stopped by the other day with Anika. We’d wandered around the city and shared a meal, and it helped a little. On other days, I’d volunteer at charity events and feeding programs, or lose myself in painting to chase away the boredom. I’d already finished two pieces, all born from the empty space he left behind.That afternoon, I stepped back with a small smile as I put the final touches on a new painting, wiping paint
My Deceptive Heart Chapter 73: Home
The past days had been the happiest of my life. I never thought loving someone could feel this right. Days flew into months, and I still had to pinch myself to believe it had already been eight months since we got married. I'd decided to hire and make Sibyl as my business partner at the gallery. She'd been running things for me so long that she'd practically managed it entirely for those eight months. Besides, I was planning to stay in the country for good. All because of Zeke.Zeke never stopped making me feel like I was still the girl he was courting. He showered me with expensive gifts such as jewelry, designer bags, sleek shoes, especially after every his business trip abroad, even though I'd told him countless times his affection alone was enough. Half the things still sat unworn or unused, and I'd started worrying we'd need to extend our penthouse walk-in closet before long. There was barely room left for all he gave me.We filled our days with small joys. We wen

"I often swim here when I'm at the hacienda. I remember I didn't bring you here the first time we visited," he said."It's so beautiful here. I love it here," I said."I'm glad you love it," he replied, his breath warm against my skin. Then he kissed the back of my ear, a soft, gentle touch, and trailed slow kisses down to the sweet spot on my neck that made my skin tingle.I couldn't help but close my eyes and lean into him more, my body melting against his. He seemed to like my reaction, and his hands started to wander over my body, tracing light patterns on my stomach before moving up to my chest.I gasped when he squeezed one of my breasts gently and pinched my nipple between his fingers. His other hand slid down, his fingers brushing against my skin as he headed for the sensitive spot between my legs. I tried to push his hand away but he just laughed and put it back then starting to touch me there in slow, teasing circles."Zeke, what are you doing? We're outside. Someone might s
My Deceptive Heart Chapter 70: Quiet Shame
That weekend, we decided to spend it at Hacienda Saldivar because it was Anika's birthday, and Zeke's family wanted to celebrate with an intimate dinner. We arrived at the mansion around 6 PM. We had stopped at the mall first to buy Anika a gift. The drive had been quiet but comfortable. When we arrived at the Saldivar's mansion, I was surprised the moment we walked through the door because my parents were there, sitting on the grand living room couch, talking with Don Juancho and my mother-in-law. They'd been invited too.My mom jumped up and hugged me as soon as she saw me. I kissed my dad on the cheek as a sign of respect, and he patted my shoulder with a warm smile."Why didn't you tell us you'd be coming too? We could have left together," Zeke said, greeting my dad. "We wanted to surprise you, son. Besides, Don Juancho sent a sleek black car to pick us up from the capital, and we're going back tomorrow morning," my dad replied happily, his face lighting up as he looked around th

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 thought about whether to tell him why I was quiet. The words were stuck in my throat."Is it about me agreeing to invest in your dad's company? I noticed you went quiet right after he thanked me, and you seemed to lose your mood," he said, as if reading my mind. He brushed his fingers lightly over my arm, sending a shiver down my spine."I don't understand. Didn't you say you were against investing in his company because it was too early for him to open another branch? So why did you agree?" I said,
