My heart sank upon hearing his words. It was as though I had been jolted awake, and I turned to him, my emotions a swirling tempest within me. Was this pain I felt in my heart?
Hector, with his cold eyes, gazed back at me, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.
"But I think that's too much to ask for. You intended to file for it, didn't you? Yet you left. Do you still want to go through with it?"
His questions were directed at me, but he didn't wait for my response. He turned away and continued, "In that case, you probably need money, but you don't have enough of it... I need an assistant. The salary, I believe, is adequate and fair. I'll hire you, and your first day is tonight. Come with me."
Before I could protest or question his proposition, he walked away, leavin

In a flurry of emotions, I slapped my palm against my forehead. His words left me reeling, unsure how to process them. Why did he have to be so blunt? Doesn't he understand the art of subtlety, or even posing his inquiries indirectly?I nervously chewed on my lower lip, trying to craft a suitable response. Uncertainty still clouded my thoughts. Why...?To Unknown NumberPlease, stop bothering me.After hitting 'send,' I turned to Elena, who was engrossed in her phone. In a sudden change, her focus shifted to me, catching me off guard."Have you seen this yet?" Her grave tone made me furrow my brow. Before I could respond, she moved closer, displaying her phone.A

I couldn't pinpoint the exact moment it all began. The grip around my waist loosened without my notice, causing my heart to race even faster. I attempted to put some distance between us, feeling like I was running out of air, yet his kiss only intensified. His labored breathing, our combined heavy breaths in the midst of the silent night, were gradually but surely making me feel raw and vulnerable."H-Hector..." I murmured as we briefly parted. The weakness in my knees led me to lean against his chest. "W-why are you here?"As I struggled to catch my breath, I met his gaze. His widened eyes locked onto mine. The way he bit his lower lip added to his allure. Captivating... his intense, slightly intoxicated gaze seemed to drown out any sensible thoughts. I couldn't help but wonder if this was always my reaction every time he claimed my lips.

"You seem to love wearing skirts like this, don't you? I don't approve," he murmured as his hand slowly roamed over my chest.Each touch sent shivers down my spine, quickening my breath and causing me to lose myself in the moment.His hand had already found its way to my thigh, continuing to kiss my neck as he did so. I felt my resistance wane with the weakness seeping into my limbs. With a subtle motion, it seemed a part of my skirt shifted right into the middle."This is why I dislike you wearing a skirt. I don't want you to be so accessible... unless it's me."I nudged him slightly at his words. "You don't control me—"I halted once more when he silenced me by lightly tugging my lip. I surrendered to the sensations a

I observed Ayanna's sharp gaze fix on me before she turned to face Hector, who in turn looked at me with an inquiring expression. His eyes seemed to be searching for something, and I hurriedly avoided making eye contact with him."You didn't respond to my messages, but of course, I'll be here. Anton called me too. You're going to the resort today, and the bidding will commence," Ayanna informed Hector.I intended to leave, having no part in their affairs, but as I turned, I froze when Hector called my name."Solei." His voice held a deep gravity that felt almost threatening. I swallowed hard before meeting his gaze."W-why, sir?"His jaw clenched, prompting me to look away. Dealing with this man was always a challenge.

"Shit…" I heard him whisper. His brow furrowed even more."I can't bring you inside the conference room," he said, making it sound like a major concern."I'm fine out here," I replied with a shrug, attempting to withdraw my hand as it was getting sweaty, but he seemed insistent, leaving me frustrated."I can't leave you here alone," he said, turning somewhere as if looking for someone."She'll be fine here alone, Hector. I told you not to bring that woman here," Ayanna said, shooting a sharp look at me.I couldn't help but feel irritated every time she mentioned that name."If you're still not getting it, Ayanna, just stop being a nuisance to her," he simply said to the wom

"I have to get back to the barn," I told him groggily, adjusting myself.It was only then that I noticed I was wearing different clothes, and the dark outside signaled the lateness of the hour. Where are we? Where did he take me after what happened? What time is it now?"You need to rest—""I'm fine, Hector," I cut him off, standing up.I needed to get home; I was sure Amari was worried about me. His earlier conversation was disturbing. Who was he talking to? What were they discussing?"Hey…"His voice softened as he suddenly grasped my hand. I turned to look at him. His expression shifted, the fear and anger I'd seen earlier when he confronted Ayanna were gone.

"I don't even know if what that man is saying is true. Why should I go home?" I lazily told Erika and pretended to be busy slicing the ingredients of our dishes today.But the truth is that what he said still bothers me. There were many things I did not understand, but only one stuck in my brain — the last will and testament said. How can papa have such a thing, when we are not rich?He almost wanted his body to be two just so he could earn twice as much at work. What last will and testament is he saying? And he even wanted me to go back to Manila just to talk to him regarding that matter.As if I'd go back there just because he said so. I have no basis for all the things he explained to me last night so why would I follow him?But I wondered even more about myself

"Really? Then go upstairs, Apollo hasn't eaten since yesterday. I don't know if that guy was planning to starve himself to death after he failed at leaping from the second floor of the hotel."My eyes widened as I turned to him, taken aback."What?"He chuckled."Just messing around. There's food in the kitchen. Take it up to him. He's not receiving any guests, but if it's you, maybe he'll agree," he laughed and winked at me.My whole face blushed furiously and I felt like I might combust from embarrassment. I nervously bit my lower lip and headed to the kitchen. There, I found a tray with food and tea, so I promptly picked it up and made my way to the guest room where he was resting.
