/-Miray-/

What was happening to me?

That was a question I asked myself and urgently needed an answer for.

I touched my lips, my heart beating erratically in my chest, so loud that I was afraid he would hear it.

“Go back to your room, Miray.” I heard him say to me, his voice lower and somewhat resigned.

I fell silent, not knowing what to say for the first time that night.

We had kissed and I was unable to get that moment out of my head. It wasn’t the usual accidental or brief kiss we’ve excha

    /-Miray-/For a moment, I simply stood there, staring at the man who walked across the lobby like my eyes were playing tricks on me. It was almost as though he was a shadow who kept following me everywhere. I had barely left his room just this morning and now, he was standing in front of me.Was this some kind of joke? Because if it was not, then this was some sick coincidence.He didn’t see me. His attention remained focused ahead as he walked towards the elevator, tightly surrounded by his bodyguards.And when the elevator closed with him in it, I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding, watching as the receptionist and the second woman also heaved in relief as though they'd just escaped some disaster.I turned towards the receptionist and asked, pretending to be merely curious, “Who is that man? He seems to have quite a high status in the company.”The woman glanced at me with a strange expression coupled with a hint of disdain and mockery.“Don’t even think about it. If you

  • Rebirth; Falling for my father's friend   Chapter 34: Internship surprise

    /-Miray-/I quickly looked away before he could see the red hue that was slowly spreading across my cheeks. Childish? Me?Perhaps he was right. I had lived two lives, I had experienced things most people probably wouldn’t ever imagine and I had endured pain and betrayal that had forced me to grow up far earlier than I should have.Yet, despite everything I had lived through, I was still capable of behaving so childishly by smearing his shirt because he annoyed me. I watched him quietly, finding the silence between us comforting instead of awkward. He was so focused on treating my wound as though he was facing a barrier he was determined to overcome.His movements were surprisingly careful and gentle.And seeing his solemn look, I couldn’t help but find him endearing in a way. But as soon as that thought crept up, I shook my head to dispel it.Endearing? Lysander? I must have slept too much and was still groggy.I cleared my throat and broke the silence, “Why haven’t you been at home

We had kissed and I was unable to get that moment out of my head. It wasn’t the usual accidental or brief kiss we’ve exchanged in the past, it was a real kiss, one where our tongues were involved.“What happened is a mistake, so don’t think too much into it.” He added again, his voice as cold as I could remember.A mistake?He had kissed me like a starved man who came across a delicacy and now, he was claiming that it was a mistake? Was I supposed to believe that?A sudden wave of annoyance swept through me, making me momentarily forget about my previous confused thoughts.“A mistake? I let out a short, humorless l

    /-Miray-/For once, the carefully prepared words in my head refused to leave my mouth. I couldn’t see anything making my other senses extremely sensitive.And so, his presence was completely pronounced, especially the hand on my breast.His hand, unlike his icy personality, was very warm, almost hot. The warmth seeped into me, making my breast feel hotter than usual and making me feel as though my heart was no longer mine.I swallowed and forced myself to push his hand away, telling myself that it was all part of the plan.Just as he attempted to withdraw, I reached out and pressed down on his hand, refusing to let him retreat. And in turn, his palm completely covered my breast, almost fondling the softness of it and my breath hitched.The atmosphere seemed to have become warmer, so warm that I felt like I was being toasted.His hand was very big, and even though my breasts were not small, it still covered the entirety of it, leaving no space.Being touched like this by him, my heart

    /-Miray-/By the time I arrived at the mansion, the sky had already begun to darken. The moment the car came to a stop, I caught sight of Aunt Lucia at the entrance of the mansion, pacing back and forth anxiously.As I approached, she saw me and rushed over, her expression tensed and worried as she spoke before I could even open my mouth.“Young miss! Are you okay? Are you injured?” She asked, her hands immediately moving over my arms as she inspected me. When she saw the smear of blood on my neck and shirt, a hint of heartache and remorse flashed in her eyes. “I’m fine, Aunt. They are just surface wounds.” “Fine?” Her voice trembled slightly. “How are you fine like this? This is my fault. None of this would have happened if not because of me, I should have known what kind of man he was.”I reached out and gently patted her arm. “He has been pretending all along, so how could you know he was capable of doing something like this?”Seeing that she still planned on beating herself up f

    /-Miray-/I stared at Valerie for a moment before a soft laugh escaped me. “You really are shameless.” “I prefer to call it honesty, my lady.” She flashed me a toothy grin and I shook my head. Who would have thought this near death experience would make me encounter such a funny character?“Besides, forget the money. How about treating me to a meal instead?” She suddenly asked and I stared at her in mild surprise.“Are you sure?”“Don’t laugh too early. You will be the one to pay for my meals from now on.” She added with a snort and I rolled my eyes.“Fine. Whatever.” But I still decided to ask once again. “You really don’t need the money.”She waved her hand dismissively, her gaze fixed ahead. “You can keep it. I just want good meals, the kind where I don’t have to check the price before ordering. I already have a few places in mind.”I didn’t need to check to see the excited glint in her eyes.Alright. Another foodie like Eloise.The rest of the journey passed surprisingly quickl
