I woke up with a splitting headache. My fingers gently massage the space between my brows in a circular motion in hopes to ease the aching sensation.
My head hurts as if it is being hit with a hammer.
"Oh... What did I do yesterday? Why is my head aching so badly?"
I raised my left arm to lift my body up only to gasp in shock. I frowned, my sluggish brain unable to come up of a reason for my predicament. My body feels heavy as if a truck has unabashedly run over me.
My hand automatically reached for the glass of water sitting atop the bedside table. I eagerly gulp a mouthful to moisten my dry throat.
However, I almost let go of the glass I was holding. I don't usually put a glass of water beside the bed especially when I am not inside my home, so how come there is one? Not to mention it is still lukewarm.
"What the?"
In addi
Until the call ended, neither of us mentioned about Martin. Patricia did not even feel surprised about where I am now. I do not know if I should feel relieved or not. I grabbed the clean white robe near me and put it on. I head to the bathroom, even though my legs were still numb. I lightly massage them until the numbness was reduced. My body is covered with sweat making me grimace. Promptly demanding for a good and nice warm bath. I stare at my reflection for a few good seconds before I started cleaning my face. I cup a decent amount of water and splash it on my skin washing the dirt and sweat away. My cheeks automatically turned red as I stared at the suspiciously strange swelling of my lips. "He's too rough." I paused. "Why am I thinking about that? It was a mistake, Helga!" As I was cha
My forehead furrowed when someone pats my cheek as if there was no tomorrow. Who is this nuisance? "…Quit sleeping." From the dark, a low-gloomy voice floated with a commanding tone. "You need to wake up." I tried opening my eyes but give up halfway. My eyelids felt very heavy. I want to open my eyes but my body wants to sleep some more. Without any better choice, I just ignored the voice and let myself be submerged into the sea of a dreamless journey. Welcoming another long peaceful sleep. ... "...Thank you, Dr. Tan." I was once again awoken, by the same voice. It was cold and demanding. My lashes involuntarily tremble, out of discomfort. A pair of sharp eyes greeted mine. Astonished, I shot him with an inquiring gaze. My mind was in a state of stupor, unable t
After two days of recuperating, I found the courage to finally step out of my suite. I just spot myself sitting by the side of a floor to ceiling window, inside of a simple coffee shop, opposite the hotel. While watching people rush into their respective jobs. Some of them are already wide-awake. Moreover, some are fighting drowsiness with a cup of coffee on their hands as they urge their legs to take long strides. The street was filled with hustle and bustle. My fingers softly drummed against the table along with the faint sound of a piano symphony. In front of me, lay a smoky and freshly brewed coffee. The strong soothing aroma floating atop, calming my once tensed nerves. Beside it was a plate of pancakes, bacon pressed in a sandwich, and various snacks. My simple yet hearty breakfast. However my pleasant peace was abruptly came into a halt as a figure appeared befor
My fingers effortlessly tugged at the thick curtain that is covering the glass window, off. Revealing the various colors of light emitting from the buildings across. A scenery, which could unassumingly rival the stars up at the sky. A contented moan escaped my lips as I let my body sink into the soft mattress. "I miss you!" The warm comforter envelops my tired body while massaging my sore muscles. I rolled atop the bed a few more times until I was completely satisfied. I just roamed around all day, after Ofellia and I had an unexpected meeting with her daughter. Simply to get rid of the annoyance in my system caused by Ylac. "Hey girl, did you contact me just to watch you roll around there? Speak, why do you seem so happy today, are you enjoying the 'heavy rain' there, hmmm?" Patricia's voice was laced with a teasing tone. She even deliberat
The life of the 'big bosses' of various industries are truly luxurious. Every CEO's that I come across with have different preferences, but all of them equally boasted their luxurious lifestyle through their collections. Just like the one in front of me. From beautiful furniture to the slick fountain pens. It is also evident in the simple but elegant decor that is displayed within the office. They are of high quality and expensive accessories. I formalized the expression on my face and smiled at him. I pasted a polite smile on my lips while hiding the slight tremor in my eyes. "Nice to meet you, I'm from Grandeur, my name is Helga Chen," I enunciated as I accepted his outstretched hand. My eyes deliberately trailed up to his neatly ironed formal wear to the ring coiled around his finger. Right from the corner of my eyes, I noticed how Ylac shifted on his seat with a raised e
Delirious I asked, yet not a word ever escaped my seemingly sealed lips, 'Who are you?' I wanted to ask but I couldn't. I was supposed to panic and scream for help, however, my body refused to. The only thought that is swirling inside my head was- …Martin, he is here. Am I feeling so celibate that my brain is helping me with my fantasies? Is this the legendary wet dream? The thought brought a shiver of curiosity, down my core. Not seeing what is before me made my other senses heightened. I could hear every loud thumping of my heart as well as the deep breath that escapes his mouth. The man let out a cold hum, "I want to see your needy eyes, Wife." The familiar mellow tone of his voice is enough to make my lips trembles and made my head muddled. He impatiently shed the piece of cloth that was covering my sight, off. Wi
"Johan, have you talked with Mr. Yu about the discussion? Any update?" I broke the silence as I took a long sip on the cup of coffee that I bought on my way here. We are currently staying in the B's Orbs. Ylac prepared a room for us to use while, staying in the Philippines so we can have our space. "I did. Hopefully we'll finish this as soon as possible." I tilted my chin at her response. That comes a bit unexpected. I thought she is enjoying her stay with David and Ylac's company. She has them to tease like a naughty cat. Yeah, Johan loves teasing beautiful men but that is it. I never heard any rumors about her snatching somebody away, I do am aware that she has pissed a lot of women because of her reckless hobby. From what I know, Johan has a boyfriend whom I never had a chance to meet. My gaze inadvertently glanced at her face. We have known each other for nearly two
"...He...lga..." For a moment, I do not know what to say. However, remembering Martin's graveyard makes me bit my lip. A delirious man made me think of some impossible scenarios, how stupid. I shake my head, chasing the dangerous thought away from my mind. As I focus my attention to his dying form. I lowered my body as I grab his arm and carefully placed it around my shoulder as I supported his waist with my other arm. Gritting my teeth, I snapped the umbrella and folded it, while looping the thin cloth wrapped on its handle on my wrist, before holding the man securely in place. My legs almost give up from his weight. "Why are you so heavy?" I snapped while tightening my grip around him. With crinkled nose, I took a deep breath before moving my feet. The man is pressing on me like a huge rock. Nevertheless, I car
