Risk It All Chapter 50
I couldn't help but throw a couple of glances at Caesar and Mara's sides.They were sitting side by side, while I and Raine were sitting together. Mara, as usual, was being extra attentive towards Caesar again. I bet if Caesar allowed her, she would spoon-feed him.Thankfully, they haven’t gone there yet, or I might really end up throwing up all the food I ate due to disgust.“Is there a problem, Brae?” Mara asked when she suddenly looked at me and caught me stealing a glance at them. Caesar and Raine stopped eating to look at me in curiosity. “Or are you finding something funny about me to laugh at again?” Mara then added, her voice still filled with hostility directed not only towards me but only towards my Raine, who immediately turned her attention back to her food and ate again, acting as if she didn’t feel the animosity Mara has been giving the both of us.I sat straight and finally looked at her properly. I smile at her insincerely. “Look, Mara, I am sorry for offending you. I

Caesar’s POV After the work-related call ended, I quickly went back to our table. My feet have been itching to get back to the three girls I was with. I was worried that the moment I left, they'd start fighting violently. I definitely doubt Brae would stoop that low, but I'm not sure about Raine, especially Mara, whom I've only recently met and am unfamiliar with her attitude. But one thing is certain about Mara: she is not the sweet and kind girl she tried to portray. The way she stared and the words she told Brae from the very first time they were introduced, I could already tell that she's trying to be someone she is not. So I can't really blame Brae for showing the same behavior to Mara. She was just letting her have a dose of her own medicine. As to why I was putting up with her, letting her get close to me as much as she could, and even accompanying her, it’s simply because I don’t want to be rude to her and also because I have a hidden agenda. This might sound cliche and som
Risk It All Chapter 52.1
“Would you like to go somewhere with me tonight?” Caesar asked me, which took me aback for a little.After everything that had happened between us, that was the last question I expected him to ask. I assumed that despite our reconciliation, he would still distance himself a little from me, at least for a little while. But I guess I was wrong.Well, if he was able to be romantically involved with another woman just a few days after I rejected him, then I guess asking me to hang out is not that much of a big deal for him. And since it seems that he's okay with everything now, I don't see any reason why I should decline his invitation. This could also be a way for us to clear up even the tiniest awkwardness that will suddenly surround us from time to time, just like now. Also, it would be a good opportunity for me to ask what the real score is between him and Mara, and why did he deny that they were on a date when that was clearly what he was implying when I asked him yesterday?"Tell me

In front of us is the magical sight of bioluminescence plankton, which I have only seen in pictures.My eyes and mouth widened in amazement as I looked at the beautiful sight right in front of us."Oh my God! It is so beautiful!" I exclaimed in pure wonderment as I couldn't take my eyes off it."Do you want to come closer?" Caesar asked, to which I quickly answered with a repeated nod while smiling from ear to ear, causing Caesar to chuckle."Give me the bags then. I'll hold them for you," he said. And due to my excitement, I did not hesitate anymore to give him the bags I was holding. He then added, "You could also walk and swim on them if you want.""Nah. I'm not comfortable walking on them, and I think they wouldn't be comfortable with it either," I replied to him before I started walking closer to the plankton and stared at it in amazement once more.I can feel my eyes twinkling as I keep muttering the same word, 'wow'.I have never seen something as magical and enchanting as this

Shocked, surprised, bewildered, dumbfounded, flabbergasted—I could list all the adjectives I know, but they wouldn't be enough to describe how I felt.Caesar's lips are soft, and I could feel it very well. I could also feel how starving his mouth is for me to respond—from brushing my lips with his to gradually biting them, wanting me to open them and accept his tongue's fiery attacks.I don't remember anymore how long I just stayed still and let Caesar taste my lips as much as he wanted. But what I do remember is how my body reacted, gradually heating up as his hands that were on my cheeks moved to my neck, shoulders, and back before he slowly pulled me close to him to the point where I was already almost sitting on his lap.My heart, which was already beating fast, went even faster, but it wasn't because of nervousness anymore. It was because my body was slowly turning on.I clenched my hand tightly. My mind was telling me to push Caesar away, but my body did otherwise. Because inste

"Are you alright?" Raine suddenly asked me, which made me flinch a little out of surprise.Looking at my own fingers, I raised my head to meet my cousin's questioning gaze. I smiled at her. "I should be the one asking you that. Are you alright? Do you not feel nervous?"Raine smiled back as she sat beside me. She was already wearing her fabulous and extravagant wedding gown, and she was done with her hair and makeup as well. She was all ready for her wedding, which was about to start in just twenty minutes."I would be lying if I'd say I am not nervous because I am. But the nervousness I am feeling cannot be compared to my excitement." Her eyes started twinkling. "I can't believe I am really getting married today! And it'll be with Tyler, which is something I have never even dreamed of before. I have always thought that the two of us would just remain as best friends. I never knew that we would end together like this."I smiled at what she said. Even I was shocked when I learned that
Risk It All Chapter 55 - The Last Chapter
After reaching the park, I immediately went to the gazebo, not minding the curious stares that the people in the park were giving me because of how I was walking so fast and was frantically looking around, looking for Caesar just in case he hadn't reached the gazebo yet. Adding to that was how I looked. From my hair and make-up, down to the dress I was wearing—it all screams I just came from a wedding.It did not take me long to reach the gazebo, and just as I thought and hoped, Caesar was there, sitting on the stairs with his head down and staring at his shoes.I stopped my tracks when I was already in front of him, and with an intense gaze, I asked him in a shaky voice, "Is it true?"Caesar flinched a little before he slowly lifted his head and looked at me. "You're here," he murmured while staring at me, looking so surprised to see me in front of him.I did not pay attention to what he said and instead asked him again. "Is it true that you're leaving?"The surprise on his face was
Risk It All Prologue
Year 2023 I smiled as I looked in the mirror. I rarely compliment myself, but I thought I looked lovely today. Unlike usual, my long, wavy black hair is neatly wrapped into a bun with no hair strands falling onto my face. Because I felt uncomfortable with heavy makeup, I asked the makeup artist to apply light makeup to my face. I was still smiling and staring at myself in the mirror when I heard a knock on the door. I turned around to see who it was, and my smile grew even wider when I saw who it was. "You're beautiful," he said, looking at me. "Thanks." "Are you okay? Are you nervous? Do you get cold feet?" "I'm nervous, but not enough to flee." He laughed. "Well, then, are you ready?" I excitedly nodded and replied, "Yes, I am ready."
