It was a beautiful Sunday morning, perfect for spending time outside with friends and family. Ella couldn't sleep last night when Edward invited her to spend the day with him. She spent the entire night contemplating whether the invitation was for a friendly or romantic date. Ella dozed off near dawn, and when she awoke, Edward was no longer by her side.
Ella stood up quickly and made her bed before leaving her room. She was worried Edward would leave without saying goodbye. She dashed into the living room, but he was nowhere to be found. Then she smelled the fresh aroma of coffee emanating from the kitchen. Ella entered the kitchen and noticed Edward standing in front of the counter, preparing coffee while on the phone.
"Yes, I'll do anything you want. All I asked for was a day free of interference from them," he said firmly to the person on the other end of the phone.
When Edward saw Ella walk into the kitchen, he imme
"Ella, wake up!"Ella was half awake and could hear nothing but the voice of his older brother, who sounded hysterical. Lucas was jolting Ella, who was falling deep asleep. He was in a total state of panic and felt as if something bad had happened. Ella awoke from her sleep when Lucas yelled at her."Ella, wake up and get your ass out of the bed!""What the fuck, Lucas?" Ella's voice was raspy. She turns away from him and covers herself with a blanket, attempting to sleep again. "Fuck off," she yelled, "it's too early, and I've got plenty of time to sleep.""Did you notice the pantry in the kitchen?" Lucas enquired.Ella jumped out of bed when she remembered the groceries Edward had purchased the day before. She became concerned that someone had stolen the supplies in the pantry and rushed into the kitchen to investigate."Did the pantry supplies get stolen?"
"Edward, why?"Ella's voice is heavy with emotion. Those words still lingered in her ears. The words that say Edward is bound to get married to someone else made tears brim her eyes, and her face was clouded with a mixture of disapproval and disappointment. Edward froze on the spot, and his eyes were staring in disbelief when she saw that the masked woman had overheard everything that his mother said. He wants to come to her but just doesn't know how to explain the situation.Ella noticed a tightening in her chest. It's as if razor blades are slicing her insides and thousands of swords are stabbing her heart. She has a perpetual sense of grief, furrowed with fear that joy has eluded her forever and that there will be no hopes of a happily ever after for Edward and her.When Edward saw that Ella was stepping back away from the stage, he began to move his feet and dashed off the stage. Corazon witnessed everything, a
"Ella?""Who are you?""Can you tell me what happened?""Where has she gone?""All right, we're on our way!"Following the phone call, Bruce and Salome dashed outside the mansion and straight to the garden, as instructed by the person on the other end of the line. They've been looking for Ella all over the mansion for hours, worried that she's suffering from emotional damage as a result of hearing Edward's engagement announcement.After a few minutes, they arrive in the secluded part of the garden, where they find Ella passed out with her head resting on Joaquin's lap while he is sitting on the marble bench. Joaquin covered the upper part of her body with his jacket and gently brushed her hair while waiting for her friends to arrive."Oh, my gosh, Ella. What happened?" Salome cried out loud.Salome was taken aback by
"Say it again, are you and Ella on a date?"Edward asked Joaquin with a trembling voice. Rage throbbed in him like a heartbeat. Edward's eyes were locked onto them like magnets as he studied them with a predator's unwavering attention.Ella has never seen him that serious. As he comes closer to her, Ella feels a bit scared when he grabs her arm and draws her closer to him and away from Joaquin. He looked like he was possessed by a wild animal."Tell me the truth, Ella. Do you have a relationship with Joaquin?" Edward clenched his grip on her arm as he inquired and gritted his teeth."Edward, you're hurting me." Ella's thoughts were overshadowed by anxiety, and her voice was filled with raw panic.Joaquin grabbed Edward's hand and forcibly removed his grip from Ella's arm. Joaquin glared at him and said in a commanding tone, "Edward, let go of her."When Edwar
"Edward, wait. Let me explain!"Those were Joaquin's final words before Edward slammed the door in his face. Edward ignored his friend's pleading and walked out of the bathroom with a heavy heart and a gloomy disposition. As he watched his friend leave the room, Joaquin had a blank look and a slack expression."Damn, Edward, you're too consumed by your feelings for Ella. I wish you had given me the chance to explain," he thought to himself.When Joaquin went out of the restroom, he saw Ella coming out of the women's restroom. She was crying and rushing out of the restaurant. Joaquin suspected that something bad had happened to her inside the restroom and decided to call her."Ella, wait. Where are you going?"Ella didn't reply and ignored Joaquin. She kept running outside the restaurant, as far as she could. Joaquin decided to run after her since Edward and he is no long
It was a dark, calm, and silent night. The air has a familiar blue breeze coming from the aroma of lavender and jasmine mixed with fresh flowers and scented candles. There was no one in sight in the Ortega mansion. Everyone is asleep except for the two souls who are still wide awake and making the most of the golden hour.Inside one of the rooms in the mansion, the air is filled with the vapor of lust from two heated bodies fused into one. The room's four walls resonated with the rhapsody of the wet sound of their bodies slamming together, while she groaned louder with every thrust."Faster," she hoarsely said, panting and catching her breath. "Fuck me faster!""Say please," he said in a commanding tone."Please, faster, fuck me deeper," she pleaded.He stopped and placed his hands on her face. He clenched his fist tightly around her jaw and said, "Say, please, master!" He locked
Flashback to five years ago at San Lorenzo Convent..."Lydia, I'd like to introduce you to Sister Lucinda. In this convent, she will be your roommate," Mother Superior Belinda said to Lydia.Lydia took a look around and assessed the condition of the room. It's a good size, with two single beds and a side bed drawer in between that serves as a partition. There was a built-in cupboard on each side of the beds, as well as a study table beside it. The room has enough room for an additional couch, book drawers, and storage for their personal belongings. It has a large window and a balcony from which they can see the field and the small village of farmers and fishermen."Hello, Lydia, welcome to the convent. Let's be friends, shall we?" Lucinda said, plastering a wide smile on her face.Lydia ignored Mother Superior Belinda and Sister Lucinda and focused all of her attention on he
Continuation...Luis tripped while stepping backward away from the danger zone as he dragged Lydia off the edge of the rooftop. They both fell to the ground. Lydia immediately got up to run away, but she realized that there was nowhere to run and that her only hope was the man in front of him."Please, Luis, help me," Lydia begged desperately.His voice is heavy with emotion, and her eyes are brimming with tears. while holding Luis' hands tightly. For a second, she had a glimpse of hope when he saved her from committing a mortal sin and the belief that he could somehow help her out in her situation."You want me to help you after you tried to kill yourself by jumping off the roof?" he asked confusedly. "You're unbelievable!" He forced himself to fake a smile.Luis has a suspicious look in his eyes, and part of him suspects that she is somehow losing her
