I smirked as I got back into the vibe. I was already smiling when I continued painting the sunset carefully. I do not want any drops of paint on my clothes. But I can't completely finish it since my excitement to see Andres is overtaking me. I was just disturbed by Delton's phone call."What, Attorney?" I asked as I put down the paintbrush.He sighed and even heard his fingers tapping the table, "Have you eaten your lunch?" he asked with his soothing voice.I realized it was already afternoon and I hadn't eaten anything."Uhm. I'm not hungry—"I stopped when I heard him curse and the sounds of papers smashing on the table."Andres is already there. How many times do I have to tell you to not starve yourself? I'll go home now," he uttered firmly, "Why do I even feel like a father scolding his daughter? For f*cksake, I am just twenty-eight!" he murmured again but ended the call.I blinked and didn't get what his sentiments were all about. But when I remembered that he mentioned that And
He pushed me more against the wall and kissed me deeply. I felt weak when he caressed my waist as he nibbled my lower lip. He groaned a little and pushed himself closer to me, eating all of the space in between us and feeling his hard chest on mine. My hands crawled over his nape and hair, pulling his head back. His tongue delved inside, making the kiss much wilder.His lips brushed against my jaws, leaving sensual, sweet kisses on my ear. I even felt his hand travel onto my thigh and was about to put it on his waist, but I suddenly woke up from the sensation. My eyes opened and I realized what we were doing. The heat was still there, but my mind was winning this time.It hit me! He wants dirty things!With that in mind, I abruptly pushed him away and forcefully wiped my lips. He didn't expect that, and that made him look at me sleepily."Do you really think this is all it takes?Kiss and make-up?!"I shot him death glares and pushed him further away from me. He closed his eyes tightly
But I still stopped the painting and got really worried when afternoon came. I tried to call my mom and dad, but both of their phones were turned off. I just decided to call her Miss Nenita."Miss Sage, is there any problem?"I swallowed the lump of wanting to rant and express my anger. Instead, I tried to calm down and just forget about Delton and Ashley for a while."Uhm. How's my mommy? I wanted to pay a visit, but Attorney Carancho was still busy. I don't have any other drivers here aside from him. " I pouted even though she could not see that.Honestly, I want to go back to my room in the mansion. I can see Andres just by peeking through the window curtain. But now? I can't even see him on social media."Your parents are still busy. But they might visit you there, Miss Sage. One more thing: you're a married woman now, and you should get used to it. And if you don't like the attorney, then you can give him to me." She even giggled after speaking.I chuckled lowly when Delton and M
That night, I let him sleep right next to me. closed enough to feel each other's bodies warm. I even let him hug me from the back while on the bed.But maybe it's not all enough. Yes, I could feel his body warm. It warmed mine, but didn't touch my heart or caress my soul. Instead, it made me feel weak, gloomy, unsatisfied, and lonely as it slowly crept inside me.It was strong enough that even if his hug tightened and he tried to make me feel secure, it turned out differently. It felt unsecured and unprotected. He was at peace at night, while I was not.I am just glad that he didn't take advantage of me. He was patient, even if it took me a few more days to finally live my life.I yawned, then stretched my arms. I tied my hair and fixed my racerback sando and leggings. I think I needed to breathe some fresh air to regain my energy and to invite good vibes into the house.I massaged my neck as I headed straight to the house gate and to finally at least walk around the subdivision.I wa
"How dare you, Delton! My virgin neck!"I gave him a death glare before marching and running back home. I swayed my hand when I felt him following me."Savvy, I only got carried away. I didn't intend to suck it that good—""Shut up, Delton! There's nothing good about what you did!"My cheeks heated as I remembered what he did to my neck and how hot it was when he licked it earlier. I wanted to cry again, but instead I ran fast to the room when I reached the house. He was even knocking a lot, but I ignored him.Savvy, open this. I'm going to get new clothes," then he knocked again, but this time it was with force.I rolled my eyes and didn't mind him. I headed straight to the shower room to scrub my neck. I spend a lot of time taking a bath. I think he was gone, and so I just fixed the room and settled my painting tools. I stayed a few more hours inside the room, and was even curious when Delton didn't bother me.I didn't even understand myself why I decided to open the door, only to b
"Uhm. You're griping me too much, Delton," I mumbled as I sensed the tightening of his embrace around my waist.But it seems like he didn't listen to me when he hugged me more tightly. His strong arm is already at the top of my stomach."Why Andres, Savvy?" he said out of breath.I sighed and tried to remove his hug, "Why not Andres, Delton? Who should it be? You told me I could bring whoever I wanted and yet, here you are getting mad at my choice. " I arched my brow a little, though he could not see it.That's when his hold loosened as he lifted his head away from the crook of my neck."Why are you even stopping me from seeing Andres? I am not going to escape—""How sure are you? You are escaping at any given time," he smirked as he looked at me intently. What more if you already have your apprentice? I'm never going to trust that Andres. He will surely bring you to his home to make you his mistress."He stood and caressed his messy hair. Her brows almost met as he gazed at the ticke
I irritatedly closed my eyes. And when I opened my eyes, I lifted them towards him just to be in awe after seeing his dark stare towards Andres. His stares towards him are all in the dark and can be a reason for your death. My lips parted and I felt nervous for Andres. I tried to escape from his arm and wanted so badly to help Andres, but Delton only tightened his hold on my stomach. He placed his chin and mouth near to my ear."Savvy, don't ever look at other men or they will stay in the dark... forever," he said nonchalantly that made my heart covered with coldness.I gulped and focused my gaze towards Andres, but I was stunned when Ashley came and abruptly clung her arms to Andres' arm. She did even kiss him on the cheek without warning.I froze on my feet because of what happened. I hadn't been able to talk to Andres since Ashley pulled him away with her and joined the group of people.My heart clenched and I felt jealous. I have never kissed Andres, not even on his cheek. And wha
"One thousand dollars all in all, Ma'am," the cashier uttered as she smiled widely.I doubt if I should pay for it, but since I hold grudges right now, I think this will make me feel better. I abruptly handed the black card to the cashier. "Just swipe it, Miss." I smirked.She nodded and swiped the card before fixing the paper bags. That's a lot of bags, but I think I can manage to hold most of those.It's a good thing that Delton let me go earlier. I told him that I would only buy milk tea, but since I was still annoyed about the exhibit incident, I headed to the mall and bought what I wanted. I am even thinking of escaping right now, but I know he has eyes on me. He surely didn't allow me to go out, especially if he knew that I wanted to escape. Sure, there are guards around, but they are unnoticeable—or maybe not.And then I saw Mister June in his black cap and Mister Baldo in his white cap, both silently hiding from the side wall.I cleared my throat and simply got the card from
