The week passed by without so much as a hi or hello from Matan and Eliza was truthfully feeling awful. After waking up in the morning after that distressful night and finding his note under her door, Eliza felt like crying again. She knew in her heart that the man she thought at first to be annoying and unfeeling turned out to be a knight in shining armor. She noticed the hurriedly folded blanket by her feet and deduced that he never left her that night possibly sleeping on the couch in the salon. The scent of his aftershave or cologne was her clue. Not feeling particularly up for a very professional look, she opted to go smart casual. She was hoping he’d pick her up that morning but his note said, he’s off to Dubai. Feeling melancholy all of a sudden, she decided to walk and went straight to Devlin’s Cafe. She ordered her usual coffee but had no appetite for food and decided to just bring the coffee to work. The staff probably noticed her mood so they just waved and smiled at

  • Puzzled Hearts (Book 3 of Precious Series)   EPILOGUE

    It is their wedding night, Eliza couldn’t believe it really happened. Two weeks ago, Matan thoroughly seduced her in his apartment. She tried to protest but in the end, Matan's carnal expertise won. She was a novice to his expert touches and she just succumbed to the pleasures of the flesh he introduced her to. He didn’t take precautions as he said it was his insurance. At first Eliza took offense thinking he was just trying to take advantage but when he professed his love again after their passionate lovemaking, Eliza was lost. Her hand fluttered automatically to her tummy. Is it possible that they have created a life in her womb? It was in that position that Matan caught her in as he entered their hotel bedroom. His apartment could have been better but for what he has in mind for his bride, his place won’t just do. Having a taste of her passion during the unplanned seduction in his place, his desires knew no bounds. Now he knows Eliza can match him even in that sphere. She

    Since his proposal two weeks ago, Matan still couldn’t believe that Eliza said yes. He thought he’d be doing more pleading and groveling, but it was a relief that she agreed. He couldn’t keep his eyes from straying over to her during Theo and Meera’s wedding, no matter that Ali kept ribbing him for a lovesick fool. He couldn’t deny it. After years of being in relationship with women who used him to further their selfish ambitions, Eliza was the only one who thwarted him at every opportunity. True, he worked hard for her affections, but it was worth it. He could still see wariness in her eyes, but he couldn’t blame her after hearing what she had gone through. Hopefully with time, she could come to trust him fully with her heart. He couldn’t wait for their own wedding, but he had to abide by her wishes and his biological father too. Eliza wanted at least one of her brothers to be present along with the Gonzales family, especially Eliza’s godparent, Claudia. For Eliza, she fe

  • Puzzled Hearts (Book 3 of Precious Series)   CHAPTER 32 Trust in My Love

    After that amazing day out with Matan, Eliza remembered her laundry. She was so caught up in the novelty of spending a day with her employer’s adopted son that she forgot about her chores. Not even his abrupt leaving of her in her accommodation could dampen her mood. She also remembered the shopping bag that Matan handed her. When she looked inside, she nearly jumped with joy. Inside were the stuffed toy she was admiring at Ikea and a set of square dinnerware. She grinned while also recalling Matan’s expression at the corniche. So, this is what it felt to be desired or wanted by someone if what Matan was saying is true. It might be true because why else would he keep stealing kisses, not that she didn’t enjoy them. She was so into her daydreaming that she mistakenly switched the water on her finished laundry. A splash of water on her hands brought her back to reality. Eliza gasped aloud. “Oh my! What a silly girl you are, Eliza.” She admonished herself. After sorting out her

  • Puzzled Hearts (Book 3 of Precious Series)   CHAPTER 31 Give up or Fight

    Feeling frustrated with his campaign to win Eliza’s hand, Matan went straight to the Al Fahezi official residence in Al Reef. He escorted Eliza back to her accommodation and when he tried to hold her hand, she managed to avoid the contact which annoyed him. He immediately took his leave as soon as she entered the apartment for fear that he would do something irrevocable. He respected her enough for what he had in mind. True, it might strengthen his bid to claim her as his wife, but he might earn her hatred and resentment later. That is why he is currently feeling at odds with the world. If Ali would see him now, he would probably laugh his arse out. When Ali decided to marry for honor instead of love not so long ago, Matan scoffed and chided him for his choice. He told him so arrogantly that he would only marry for love and look where it got him. He couldn’t even express his feelings for one stubborn woman who was bent on distancing herself from him believing that she isn’t w

  • Puzzled Hearts (Book 3 of Precious Series)   CHAPTER 30 Solution to a puzzle

    Eliza has been going out with her officemates every Friday night in succession and every single time Evan was there to her dismay. It might have been fun if the gentleman was another. True, Evan was handsome, the cliched blue-eyed blonde but she was longing for the tall, dark and handsome person who was with her when her mother died. She hasn’t heard from Matan for how many months now and she dreadfully miss him. What a silly heart she has, longing for that which is never going to happen. She couldn’t forget the stolen kisses they shared as they awoke a hunger in her for more. Silly, silly longings for a silly girl. As if a rich man such as Matan would deign to lower himself to a poor expat like her. But then, this is her dream, and she just wants to indulge just for once. She couldn’t sleep with these thoughts running in her head. After much tossing and turning about, she finally dozed off. Her dreams were filled with Matan’s kisses, and she ended up getting sweaty and restless in her

  • Puzzled Hearts (Book 3 of Precious Series)   CHAPTER 29 It's Over

    “Are you coming with us, Eliza?” Meera asked as she was putting on the last touches of makeup. Most of the staff in the office were invited to celebrate their manager’s birthday. Theo dropped his planned courtship for Eliza as he saw how Matan was so possessive of her. Why bother when he found out that the woman who first caught his attention actually had feelings for him. Meera was already part of the staff when he joined. He found her pretty when they first met but she was somewhat shy whenever their eyes met. Before he could summon the nerve to invite her out, Eliza happened and as always, his impetuosity won. He acted without thinking. True, he was ecstatic when Eliza finally agreed to a date with him but when he saw the sparks between her and who they thought was one of the Fahezi sons, he knew he got no chance. It was a blessing in disguise when a project was given to him and Meera was the obvious choice to help him do it. Although Meera was hesitant at first, she soon
