Risk It All Chapter 28
Caesar was in the driver's seat, and I was in the passenger seat, and we've been leaving for a few minutes now. Tyler and Raine's car were ahead of us, and Caesar and I were following. "How long will it take to get to the resort?" I asked Caesar. Without looking at me, Caesar replied, "If traffic is light, it will take longer than an hour but less than two hours." I gave a nod. "Quite a long while." I commented, and Caesar just responded with a hum. After a few moments of silence, Caesar replied, "You can play some music." My head shook. "I prefer the silence." I've grown to prefer calm and quiet since becoming a writer. It's likely that I started using it in my daily life because that's what I needed whenever I had to write. I don't mind the noise, but I love it when it's quiet. "I'll keep quiet for the rest of the drive then," Caesar remarked. I cracked a smile. "But I don't mind having a conversation with you." "Then, what do you want us to talk about?" I raised my head,

"Hey! Brae!"Raine's yelling at me was what jolted me out of my trance.Raine sat alongside me, and I gave her a blank expression."What's going on? You seemed to be in deep thought. Did something happen?" she asked, raising her eyebrows.Did something happen? Yes, absolutely!I'm still having trouble processing what Caesar said. Even after we arrived at the resort, and even now that I'm inside the room Raine and Tyler reserved for me, my mind seems to be stuck on the talk Caesar and I had in his car.I have no idea what happened next or how we got to the resort. After Caesar's response, my mind was already racing with questions.I was already surprised that Rhea had broken up with Caesar, but the reason for this surprised me even more.I had no idea Caesar was in love with someone else.I believed he was in love with Rhea the entire time. It turns out he was in love with someone else.To think about it. Caesar has told me several times that he likes Rhea, but he has never expressed t

Caesar and I decided to walk around the resort and check out the various areas and services.We are staying at a destination resort, specifically a beach resort. It wasn't as large as the other resorts I have been to, but it wasn't nearly as crowded, which I like.Perhaps it's because the resort is quite new, having only opened two months ago, and is also located in a somewhat quiet place. Only a few tourists have discovered it and are interested in it.We can enjoy a variety of facilities and activities at the resort. Among these are beach massages and kayaking and paddle boarding, both of which I intend to do with Raine.After becoming weary of wandering about, I persuade Caesar to get us drinks before we settle into the resort's open garden.The open garden contains a wide range of tropical flowers and fruits, the vast majority of which I had never seen before.Caesar and I sat on an oak garden bench in the middle of the many species of orchids, smelling their various fragrances—fr

When I heard what Caesar said, my brow furrowed.I'll be surprised? Why? Just who is Caesar in love with that he won't tell me about? Is it really someone I know, as I suspected?The more questions that came to mind, the stranger I felt, and I'm still not sure why.I am certain that I am no longer in love with him. So I'm not sure why my heart was racing so rapidly. Nonetheless, I was able to keep my emotions under control.After a few moments of staring at him, I finally opened my mouth to voice my displeasure. "You can't say that now. You're just going to tell me that after getting me curious? No, I'm not going to let this day finish without you telling me who the woman is who stole your heart and held it in her palms for 10 years.""Brae…""No." I answered firmly, shaking my head. "You're not going to be able to avoid this conversation, Caesar. Because I'm even more determined to find out who she is."He let out a sigh. "Why do you want to know her?""Because I'm intrigued? If you'

When I noticed Caesar approaching me while putting his phone back in his pocket, I quickly stood up from the bench, clutching my drink tightly. "You're done?" When he was already in front of me, I asked him. He responded, "Yes." I nodded and merely muttered, "Okay," because I didn't know what else to say. Caesar opened his mouth and appeared to want to speak again, but I had already beaten him to it. "Can I go back to my room now? I was tired of strolling around the resort and wanted to lie down. You can stay if you want to." I said it quickly, despite my best efforts to smile. I'm just not sure if it's the smile Caesar saw in my face or a wry one. Caesar looked at me closely, as if he were trying to read my mind. I cursed quietly. I could barely keep my emotions in check at this point. Why does he have to keep staring at me like this? With the way Caesar was staring at me, I expected him to say something or ask me a question, so I was already planning how to avoid any question

Tyler’s POVAs I sat down on the bed and glanced at my manhood, my face was filled with dissatisfaction.I let out a long, frustrated sigh.I was nearly there. Raine and I were almost there!Why did Brae have to appear at that exact time? Besides, she obviously knew what Raine and I were up to when she saw me, but she chose to be inconsiderate and took Rhea with her.Now I'm here alone in this huge but lonely room, comforting my little Tyler and telling him that he still has a chance this evening."What the hell are you doing, you creep?"I turned to see where the voice was coming from, and there was Caesar standing in the middle of the room's now-widely opened door, staring at me with disgust."Have you gone insane?" Or is this your true self, a motherfucking pervert?" He said that, which made my ears tingle madly.I'd never been called a pervert in my life. No one, not even Raine!And because I was still dissatisfied and unhappy that Raine had left me hanging, my rage erupted immedi
Risk It All Chapter 34.1
I was glancing at the menu, but my attention was elsewhere. Because of how self-conscious I was, I couldn't even read the names of the dishes.Caesar was entirely to blame for this.He has been paying more attention to me since yesterday. Wherever I go, he goes, and whatever I do, he is always there to watch me, to the point that he seems like a creepy stalker. During dinner, he was so attentive to me that one could mistake him for my personal butler, or worse, my nanny.We haven't spoken about our conversation in the garden, though I'm sure he already knows I was aware of his love for me.I was honestly waiting for him to speak those words so I could reject him.Although I can tell he has affection for me, hearing it from him personally is more preferable.I don't want to come across as presuming things, even though it was apparent as day that he was in love with me, especially given how he acted towards me after what happened at the garden.And he's doing it again now, being overly
Risk It All Chapter 34.2
Sincerity can be seen not only in Caesar's eyes but also in his voice, which left me speechless for a moment, which was not what I had in mind when I questioned him about what he really felt for me.Despite the fact that I had just stated that I would reject him right away and that I could not be with him, I was unable to do so, which caused me to condemn myself silently.And it's because, while knowing what was coming, I couldn't help but be astonished.Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that the tables would be turned and that I would have already fallen out of love with Caesar while he would have fallen in love with me.How did things come to be this way?"Didn't you already know I had feelings for you since yesterday? How come you still have that shocked expression on your face?" Caesar asked, chuckling slightly.Put yourself in my shoes and see if you don't have the same reaction as I did, I said quietly.I ignored what he said and instead replied, "Then, what do you want f
