Marcus was disoriented when he woke up in a strange room. He tried to get up but he couldn’t move.
What was wrong with him?
He looked around but all he could see was the white ceiling and the chandelier. On his left, he could see something white, and it was the same on his right side.
A pet cone?
Marcus was horrified to realize that someone had the nerve to put a pet cone on him.
“Look here,” Daniella showed Marcus the photos that she took earlier and couldn’t stop laughing at his dreadful appearance. She knew she was being a bully to Marcus but he started it first.
With the shrink wrap all over his body, he looked like a fresh spring roll or even a mummy. Of course, the pet cone looked cute on dogs, but for Marcus, he was not cute but funny to look at.
“Dani! What did you do to me?”
Marcus shouted as soon as he found out what she did to his body that he looked like a mummy, wrapped in white and couldn’t move. Then he remembered that moment when something hard hit him.
“What do you want from me?” Marcus clenched his jaw and gritted his teeth as he waited for her answer.
“I want your baby,” Daniella answered.
“What? Are you crazy?” his voice roared inside the hotel room when he heard her answer. But then, she could be only joking. “You’re kidding, right?”
“Do I look like I’m joking? Why do you think so, Marcus?”
Marcus concluded that Daniella Reyes was a lunatic. What a waste, the woman was beautiful and sexy, and she looked smart too.
“There’s no need to tie me like this if you only wanted to have sex with me. I can make it more fun and pleasant for you, Dani. Untie me this instant!” He ordered and tried to convince her.
Her state of mind must be the reason why their agency was hired to look after her. How many detectives were ruined under Daniella’s hands? He wondered and sighed.
“I don’t need it to be pleasant, Marcus. I like you and you look perfect to be my child’s father,” she added.
“If you want me so much, you should have agreed to do it with me when I asked you nicely,” he reminded her about their phone conversation.
“Nicely? Was it done nicely? You mocked me that time, Marcus! You were a horny beast who had to do so loud while knowing I could hear you!”
“Still, you don’t have the right to do this to me, Dani. Do you really believe you will get out of this unscathed? You better think again, Miss Reyes. You don’t know me well enough to treat me this way!”
“Then, why don’t you tell me everything about you right now, Marcus?”
“Oh God, you really are crazy! Look, just let me go now, and I will help you find a man; someone who is more handsome than me,” he bargained with her.
“Mmmm, nice idea, but I am running out of time. We have to do it as soon as possible,” she stated.
“I can’t believe you are doing this to me! I was being nice to you, Dani.”
“Oh really? I don’t think so, Marcus. You acted nice because you wanted me in your bed. What’s the difference now? Are you saying it was fine when you openly flirted with me?”
“Flirting is better than this!”
“Come on, Marcus. Don’t be so dramatic! Why are you so mad that I think of a better way to do this? Let’s not waste our time in flirting when we can just do it right away,” she explained.
“I don’t know what to say to you anymore, Dani. You are so opinionated and you wouldn’t listen to any of my words!”
“Stop pretending you wouldn’t like what’s about to happen, Marcus. You wanted to do it with me from the first time you saw me,” she reminded him about the way he flirted with her.
“You are right. I want you in my bed. I want to fuck you,” he said while shaking his head, and then he continued, “But not like this, Dani. We can start again and let me seduce you,” he emphasized that flirting and seducing would be a lot of fun.
“Nice, but as I have said earlier, I don’t have much time to wait until you’re done seducing me, Marcus,” she told him.
Oh no, it seemed that he had no way to escape from the crazy woman.
When he lost Arianna, he thought of having a vasectomy because he didn’t want to have a child anymore, but the idea was forgotten when he started living in Hacienda Velasquez, and now he regretted not having one.
What if Daniella would force herself on him and it would result in pregnancy? He would be forced to do something that he didn’t want to do.
“You’re pretty, Dani. I’m sure there will be several men in this building who would like to bed you.” He said, in a hope that she would let him go. “You don’t have to stoop so low,” he tried to persuade her but when he stared into her eyes, he saw desperation, fear, and distress.
“Nice try, Marcus. But my mind is already set when I choose you,” Daniella answered.
That moment, Marcus came face to face with the reality that nothing was more dangerous than a crazy woman!
“You can’t do this to me! I have work to do and-”
“How much?” She interrupted him in the middle of his explanation. “Name your price, Mr. Madrigal.”
“I don’t need your money, Dani! Just let me go and I will forget about this incident,” he promised her.
“I’m sorry,” she said before she took off the pet cone from his neck because he looked too uncomfortable with it. “Behave, or I will put this back on your neck!” She warned him.
Marcus was not afraid when she threatened him about the pet cone.
“I don’t understand why you have to do this, Dani.” His voice was low just like a father who tried to explain things to her daughter.
Daniella was thankful for Scooby, her dog. She adored Scooby too much that the first thing she did while in HK was to shop for Scooby’s things such as colorful leashes, clothes, and pet cones.
“Just shut your mouth up, will you?” She yelled at him before she unzipped her pants and pulled them down.
Then, her blouse followed to the floor. Daniella hesitated to take off her underwear while his eyes were on her, but she reminded herself that it was not the right time to be shy.
“Now, stay and don’t move.” She ordered although it would be difficult for the man to move freely with the shrink wrap on his body.
“No, Dani. Let’s do it the right way. Allow me to do it properly,” he requested.
“What if you will escape from me, Marcus? I wouldn’t get another chance!”
Escape from a goddess before him? No way! He was already mesmerized by her beauty, but when she started taking off her clothes, he knew he couldn’t let another man to do it with her.
“I will do it with you...in a better way. Set me free, Dani,” he pleaded one more time, and when he saw the hesitation in her eyes, he knew he was winning.
“I’m sorry but I am really desperate to do it, Marcus,” she apologized for her mistake.
“I understand, Dani. Let’s do it right,” he told her again.
“What should I do?”
“Set me free first and I will guide you,” he stated.
Daniella agreed and set him free from the shrink wrap. She knew it was risky but she trusted his words.
“I’m hungry,” he said.
“W-what?” she asked in disbelief.
“Please order some food,” he ordered and when she hesitated to do it, he pointed to the telephone on the bedside table.
“Alright,” she agreed, but the same time, she wondered what’s inside his head.
She was talking on the phone when he decided to do it. He ordered a wide selection of delicious meal including a bottle of red wine. When he glanced at Daniella, she seemed to be displeased.
“Don’t worry, I will pay for it, Dani. This will be our first date,” he claimed but then his eyes were glued at the plumpness of her breast. “Put on some clothes, first. I’ll do the undressing later,” he ordered and she gasped in embarrassment. She has probably forgotten about her nudity at the moment.
When the hotel staff arrived with a tray of food, Daniella’s body was covered with a simple dress. However, he knew that underneath that dress, she wore nothing else. She went commando but of course, she had no choice as there was a limited time to do that.
“Let’s eat,” he told her after setting the food on the table near the window.
Earlier, Marcus opened the drapes so that they would have a view of the entire city. The skyline was a great background on their first date, and he enjoyed seeing her being uncomfortable in her seat.
“Relax, Dani,” he told her, and then he chuckled because he managed to turn the situation into his advantage.
“Y-yeah, that’s right,” she replied, while slicing a small bite of the juicy steak in front of her.
“Enjoy your food, Dani. You don’t have to be comfortable,” he reminded her to just relax while eating with him.
A few minutes later, Marcus could tell that Dani was more nervous than ever. Everything went according to his plan. He just needed her to know who has the upper hand in the matter.
“Can we do it now?”
Daniella asked right away after they had their wine but he just shook his head.
“Later, Dani. Let’s watch a movie first,” he said and then he grabbed her toward the bed where they could sit and watch the movie.
“Aren’t we wasting too much time already?” she complained.
“Don’t worry. I will make it so memorable for you later,” he assured her.
“Memorable, my foot!”
Then, his eyes widened as Daniella slowly takes off her dress and there was no reservation in the way she stripped off her clothing.
Marcus doubted that he wasn’t the first man she would sleep with. The way she undressed herself in front of a man was a clear proof that she did it several times already.
Suddenly, Marcus was scared that she might have a sexually transmitted disease.
“Let’s do it, Dani. Take your time,” he told her.
“It will just frustrate us both, Marcus. Let’s do it now,” she insisted.
“What do you think you’re doing?” he asked when she retrieved a scissor from the drawer.
“You promised to take these off after dinner, but you tried to delay everything, Marcus,” she answered.
Then, Daniella used the scissor to cut a hole near his zipper. It was only enough that she could unzip his pants, and let his manhood free. She shrieked when his erection sprang up from his boxers.
He looked away when Daniella started to touch him. It was gentle and he hated his body for responding to her touch. Or should he say that he has responded to her idea of having him forcefully…even earlier?
“You are rude…and selfish!” He accused her when she suddenly pushed him. Then, he realized something important. He was stronger than Daniella and his hands were free.
In a swift motion, he managed to change their position, and Daniella’s eyes widened then the realization hit her that he was more powerful. Finally, she realized who has the upper hand.
“So, you like it rough, huh?” he asked, but her eyes were bewildered.
Before she could respond, Marcus shifted their position once more, letting her on top of his body. He didn’t let her go while he pulled down his pants, and took off his shirt.
Her soft body was pressed on top of his until he was fully naked, and she gasped when she felt the hardness of his muscles.
“Marcus…wait,” she said.
“Scared?” he asked.
“No, I am not scared but-”
He didn’t let her finish talking and grabbed her face. Then, he conquered her lips in a ravishing kiss. He also sucked on her bottom lip because he couldn’t help himself.
Her lips were plump, soft, and sweet. He couldn’t get enough of her lips, so he deepened the kiss and used his tongue. Daniella purred when he did it, therefore, he was encouraged to do more.
With the other hand on her waist, he guided her body to move on top of him. The friction she made while moving around him fueled his carnal desire. He wanted more of her. He wanted to taste every inch of her skin!
Daniella was aware that at least three of Ortega’s men were following them from a distance, but she choose to ignore the security people when they were just doing their job. Somehow, she was already used to having a shadow wherever she would go. After her three days vacation on the island, she returned home feeling refreshed and renewed. She and AJ had a blast on the island and she played with her like a kid. “Hello Simon, it’s been a while.” She greeted the youngest of Ortega’s men as if she had no idea that he was also on the island. “Hello Miss Ella, I’ll help you with your luggage.” Simon offered to take her luggage upstairs. Unknown to the woman, Marcus contacted him to watch over his family and he should report everything to him. “Thank you,” she was grateful for his help. As much as she wanted to check on her mother and report to her that they already arrived, she was tired and want to rest. Tomorrow, her life would be back to normal. Occupied with work and str
Daniella had no choice but to stop her heart from beating toward Marcus and she should focus on something else. She must let go of her feelings and move forward because letting her emotions take over would be simply dangerous! In the morning, she woke up with a bright smile on her lips and Lilian looked at her as if she has gone crazy for always smiling when she was nursing a broken heart. At the breakfast table, she informed Paloma that she would take over overseeing the resort’s construction. She took a deep breath and took the chance, to be honest with her family members about another issue and said, “Marcus and I have broken up.” “Ella, what are you talking about?” Paloma was knocked for six at Daniella’s announcement and she refused to believe it when they looked good together. “I said, he and I broke up…and this time it’s for good.” She repeated her statement and she emphasized each word so that her mother wouldn’t misunderstand it. “This time it’s for good?
Daniella bit her lip when Marcus questioned her why she came. Was he not happy to see her at all? Daniella was still seething in anger towards his employer why did he allow that horrible man to beat him in the first place? “Should I consider your question as a sign that you don’t want to see me anymore?” Daniella took offense at his tone but regardless of how he would look at her, she wouldn’t give up on him. She glared at the man who treated her like a pest when she was just being kind to help him. “It’s not what I mean, Dani. I’m just asking why you came here, and how did you know where I was. Wait, did you stalk me?” His nostrils flared and he tightened his lip as he imagined that the woman was probably stalking him. What happened to her statement that she didn’t want him anymore in her life? Marcus narrowed his eyes at Daniella while he waited for her answer. “Of course not! Why should I do that? It just happened that I come here for business and saw you today at the
Troy Ramirez was paranoid that Philip Madrigal would come to his office anytime so he always prepared himself for the old man’s arrival. He picked up the intercom and bellowed, “Is Alicia not here yet?” “She just arrived sir,” the secretary replied. He put down the receiver and waited for Alicia to come in and when he heard the door open, Troy immediately stood to meet her. “What took you so long?” he yelled at the woman for taking her time in coming to his office. Alicia raised her eyebrows at Troy and replied, “I’m not one of your employees so don’t treat me like one.” The woman was right and Troy needed to calm down or his wrecked nerves would get the worst in him and he was afraid of the outcome. “Call your boyfriend and ask him to forgive me, do it now please.” “What have you done to him and where is he?” Alicia suspected that Troy made a mistake in hurting her boyfriend and then he was scared that Marcus would retaliate. She sneered at him and asked,
Daniella didn’t expect to receive a call from Gerald, telling her that Marcus was working for a man named Troy Ramirez, Alicia’s brother. She was having her breakfast at Puso Bistro and she enjoyed their champorado and Arroz Caldo which tasted awesome. It was a buffet breakfast that she got to enjoy for free by staying at one of their suites, and although she couldn’t eat every dishes they offered, she appreciated how the manager was hands-on in checking everything that needed a refill. The hotel was recommended by one of her friends who loved their top-notch services. Arguably, the bistro has become one of her favorite restaurants in the city. Fortunately, Daniella was blessed with good luck because Troy’s office was just beside the hotel where she was staying. She could just check it out later because Daniella needed a concrete plan on how to approach Marcus without aggravating Alicia in the process. It was quarter to ten in the morning when Daniella smiled at the recep
Troy was hopping mad after reading the report about Marcus Madrigal! No wonder that the man looked familiar when he first saw him because he was the same man who took away his angel, and in the end, he had to kill that woman and her daughter to avenge his wrong feeling. He was furious that Alicia assisted his enemy in entering his territory! A few years had already passed and he could still remember the anguish on Veronica’s husband’s face as he witness how his family was killed in front of him. Over the years, it gave him satisfaction while know that the man she chose instead of him was suffering! Did Marcus find out about his involvement in that incident? But how? It was cleanly done and no evidence to point out that he was behind it. Moreover, all the men involved in that incident were already dead and he was the only one who remained to live. Still, he couldn’t be at peace unless he would send Marcus back to hell. He was enraged and Troy believed that Liza could soothe
