Ella’s POV
"I can't make her happy. No, I can't make any woman happy." Zed's words yesterday replay in my mind as I gape at him.
And it hits me with a realization. Zed's failed marriage isn't the only reason why he avoids women, nor his heartache. But his insecurities.
Erectile Dysfunction Syndrome. My eyes move again at his erection and I wonder what causes it.
"But it's-" I stop; I just can't say the words. How can it be? It looks strong and mighty beneath the towel.
"It doesn't last for half a minute," he answers; his eyes turning dark in desire.
"Why are you telling me this, Zed? How many people know about this?"
He smirks. "If Yen is not broadcasting this truth around, then it's only between her and me. And the psychiatrist, of course."
"But I don't know why I'm telling you this," he adds.
A sense of pity for him engulfs me. Zed is tall, lean, and the word ha

"Where are we going?" I ask Zed as soon as he turns the car's engine on."To Yen's friend," he answers, but his eyes are on the road. And since he seems not in the mood to talk, I zip my mouth.His silence bothers me. Perhaps, he's angry about what I did a while ago. Seducing him has destroyed his privacy and ruined his mood.I don't know why but I don't regret it. Curiosity may have piqued in me, but deep inside, I had wanted to know the extent, so I could help.To bear the silence and awkwardness, I close my eyes. And just as I am lulled to sleep, a tap on my left shoulder jolts me awake."Ella, we're here already."I open my eyes, and the first thing I see is his face, a few inches away from me. I gasp; it's like seeing an actual angel in my dream."Sorry for waking you up."Damn him, how could he be so kind after what I've done?"Sorry for falling asleep as well."I sit up and look around.

Are you ready?" Dr. Mitch's voice makes us both turn in her direction. She's standing by the door frame, smiling at us. "I guess, Dr. Mitch," Zed replies, and I hurry on the bed, aiming to lie down before she comes in. "Slowly," Zed says, helping me fit into the bed. I'm tall, and the bed seems much shorter than my length. "This way," Dr. Mitch says, and she comes closer and places both my legs on the stirrups. My legs parts wide, pulling the hem of my clothes upward. And before she successfully pulls the sheet and drapes it over me, I have already imagined my flower smiling wide at them. "The bed looks short because your legs should be here," she adds. I look up and see Zed standing an arm's length away from the foot part of the bed, just behind Dr. Mitch. He stands there, registering an anxious face like he's the father of my child. And for sure, he has also seen my grinning cunt. If only Dr. Mitch knows that he's not even my boyfriend... "Now, let's get there." Dr. Mitch pick

YEN'S POV As we are one of the VIPs invited to “The Quartet’s Founding Anniversary,” Kim and I make sure we arrive before the guests flood the arena. Kim hates overcrowded places, and he wants us to be at our designated table before that happens. But that won’t happen; every important guest has to take the red-carpet walk. I don’t know where this IT Solution company gets its name from. The Quartet sounds more like a group of four people creating a singing group than an IT company. Kim and I have met the owners during an important event before, and they are the two Soriano brothers and their first cousin, Aliyah Torres. They started as a small IT Solution company, but they have managed to climb their way to the top in five years. While Kim’s company creates gadgets or parts, The Quartet provides technological services to any individual or company who needs digital solutions to their systems. Also affiliated with the country’s large telecommunication company, their proposal to partner

I have to pretend again. The event planners must have planned to torture me. Of all the corners of this arena, why have they decided to designate Zed and Ella to the table next to us? They are so damned sweet, killing me in discomfort inside. Zed's tender eyes barely leave her, if not his loving arms. He looks at her like she's the most alluring treasure in the world, an honor I have lost the day he gave me to Kim. As Kim had said a while ago, Zed gains his wealth, not by inheritance, but through his diligence and brilliance. And I know that sweeter is the victory that way, and more admirable is he. But why do I see him this way now? Why do I count on his good side now? I'm never miserable in the arms of Kim, but damn, Zed always still has ways to crawl into my heart. "Five years ago, The Quartet was only working with aspiring individuals and small-scale companies. But who would ever think we could grow this big in just a few years? And we are not stopping until we reach the global m

“Congratulations!” I tell Zed as I walk over to him, a smile plastered on my face.My heart jumps when a set of tender eyes meet mine. That’s how he used to look at me before.“Thank you, dear,” he says, my heart warming to that endearment again. I swear I’m already on the verge of throwing my arms around his neck.“The company is five years already, you said it. Why haven’t I heard about that before?”I try raising another question to dispel the awkwardness, not realizing I’m bringing up a more intimate topic. It’s still three years since we separated, so it means we were together when Zed’s partnership with The Quartet started.“I only gave motivations. But then, I just woke up one day and found myself becoming one of them.”I love how his eyes shine when he explains. And I feel so silly for noticing it only now. Zed deserves more than what he has gained to

Ella's POV "Ella, let's go," says Zed as he comes back from wherever he went. He doesn't go back to his seat but stands behind me instead. "Is there a problem?" "A stomach discomfort." But I don't believe him. There is something in his eyes that speaks about something else, other than physical discomfort. He waves a hand to Mr. Mori, telling him that we're going ahead. The latter nods and raises a hand as well. Zed then places a hand on my shoulder, guiding me as we take our exit. Before we reach the elevator, Miss Aliyah Torres, one of the speakers a while ago, appears from another direction and smiles at us. "Babe!" she says, and Zed walks to her and kisses her on the cheek. "Babe, I'm suddenly not feeling well. So, we're going ahead." Miss Torres furrows her brows, tilts her head, and looks closely at Zed. She's about to open her mouth to speak, but ends up shrugging her

“My self-control is thinning, Ella,” Zed says as he releases me from the fiery kiss. His dark and intense gaze tells how he is burning with desire.I’m still panting from his hungry and savage kiss, but I still want more. More of him, not just his lips. “Nobody is stopping you, Zed. Do as you please.”“You said it,” he confirms and lets out a soft laugh when I nod.Becoming too impatient for his next move, I grab his face again and claim his lips. Feeling his reluctance, I start running my hands on his chest and down to his navel. This move must have aroused him because he reaches for the back of my neck, deepening the kiss. When his mouth leaves my lips, I move faster and pull down his shorts, together with his undies.“What are you doing? We’re on the terrace!” Zed exclaims in horror, pulling back his workout shorts. But before he successfully pulls it up, I grab his hand.I’

Zed’s POV I can’t believe how things turned out for me. The Quartet is growing rapidly and the branches of XYZ Coffee Shops have multiplied. And since my passion is always on the stage, I never stop accepting speaking engagements. I even entrust my businesses to a pool of managers and analysts. The stage is my escape world where people think of me as someone great and powerful. I inspire them with my words and mesmerize them with my looks. I know I have those assets because magazines and tabloids often feature me as the beautiful face behind powerful mindsets. Yes, I change people's mindsets, always pointing them to the bright world of positive thinkers. I let them refuse to entertain weakness and encourage them to be resilient. Those whose willpower and inner drives have died, I resurrect them under my coaching. Those whose companies are losing beyond the point of redemption, I let them spring to life under my series of motivational an
