The Secretary POV

Nanginginig si Eilla habang hinihintay niya ang entrance niya. Dapat siguro hindi niya hinayaan si Damon at Jackie na kumbinsihin siya na gawin ito. Nevertheless, nandoon na siya sa labas ng malaking pinto tungo sa dining hall. May nagbibigay ng speech sa loob at pagkatapos ng speech, siya na ang papasok. Cheers followed with applause had erupted, indicating that it was her time now.

Binigyan siya ni Jackie ng mabilis na yakap at bumulong si Damon sa kanya ng encouraging words.

Okay. Ang kailangan niya lang gawin ay pumunta roon at kumanta para sa kanya. How hard could that possibly be?

The CEO POV

Lumilinga-linga pa rin si Javier sa paligid. Wala pa rin si Ella. Gusto niya itong tawagan ulit pero madadagdagan lang ang missed calls na makikita nito sa cellphone.

"Damn it," he cursed under his breath, not paying attention to what his brother, Thornton, had been saying on the podium. Masyado siyang distracted sa nawawala niyang secretary. Isang mapangahas na kaisipan ang pumasok sa utak niya. Baka abala si Ella sa lover nito, ‘yong Damon Matthews na iyon. Kaya siguro hindi siya nasabihan ni Ella na ‘di ito makapupunta sa birthday party niya. Magkahalong kuryosidad at selos ang bumalot sa kanya.

Nagsimula na ang banda na patugtugin ang prelude ng happy birthday sa isang mabagal na tempo. Nagbuntong-hininga si Javier. Wala siyang pakialam sa kanta. Ang gusto niya lang ay makita si Ella Stanford para mapalagay na siya. Pero napalingon siya sa gulat at singhap ng mga bisita sa paligid niya. Nang mas malinawan, napasandal si Javier sa upuan para makita kung ano ang kaguluhan. Agad-agad na nanikip ang lalamunan niya kasabay ng paglaki ng kanyang mga mata. Nakatayo sa harap nila, suot ang isang pulang dress na may mataas na slit na ipinapakita ang kanyang makinis na binti ay walang iba kundi ang kanyang uptight at professional na sekretarya.

The Secretary POV

So far so good. Kumalma na si Ella nang makapasok sa double doors tungo sa dance floor. Umabot siya sa aisle sa gitna ng mga lamesa nang hindi nadadapa. Nagapapasalamat siya na maganda naman ang pagtanggap ng mga bisita sa kanyang grand entrance.

Nakita agad ni Ella pagtapak niya sa dance floor. After all, she had been the one arranging for this event. Alam niya kung saan nakaupo ang mga tao at kung sino ang katabi nila. Nakaupo si Javier sa harap mismo ng banda katabi ang pinakabagong babae nito, si London Star. Gaya ng dati, he looked dangerously and infuriatingly handsome in his dark blue shirt that enhanced the vivid ocean blue of his eyes. Pero ngayong gabi, tulala ito. Nakanganga ito at nanlaki ang mga mata. Halatang hindi nito inaasahan ang mapang-akit na suot ni Ella habang nakahawak ng microphone at handang kumanta para sa kanya.

Agad na lumipat ang tingin ni Ella sa babaeng katabi ni Javier. Blonde wavy hair, pouty red lips, and black shimmering dress. She looked stunning as if she had just walked out of the latest fashion magazine and yet Javier's eyes were glued on Ella. Hindi man tama, nakaramdam si Ella ng satisfaction. Ngumiti siya kay Javier, isang klase ng ngiti na hindi niya pa naibibigay rito dahil palaging magalang ang ngiti niya sa opisina. Naglakad siya tungo sa podium. She deliberately put a more seductive sway on her hips to help him focus his attention to where she wanted it to be.

Wala namang mawawala sa kanya. Ipapasa niya na ang resignation letter niya bukas ng umaga at lilipat na sa iba, sa lugar kung saan hindi niya makikita ang wild at playboy na gawain ni Javier.

Nakangiti ang banda kay Ella at binigyan siya ng thumbs up. Kinuha ni Ella ang microphone at makailang ulit na lumunok bago kumanta. Not the kind of happy birthday that anyone would sing in a kids party; she sang the seductive kind. One that only Marilyn Monroe dared to sing for the president once upon a time.

Nanahimik ang audience at nagsimulang tumugtog ang banda ayon sa tempo ni Ella.

"Ha... ppy birth... day..." she took another breath. "Dear... Jave..."

Isang palakapakan ang umugong sa dining hall at pinanood ni Ella ang boss niya na natutuwang itinagilid ang ulo, low chuckle emerging from his throat. Mukhang naka-recover na ito sa gulat at na-enjoy na ang performance niya. At talagang kakaibang performance iyon! She had done it so flawlessly, giving a touch of her husky tone which added to the seduction and perfection.

Namamangha at nabibighani si Javier na tila pa nasa ilalim siya ng kapangyarihan ni Ella. Pinahaba ni Ella ang huling linya with a sensual innuendo as she sang, "to... you..." Her lips rounded in a suggestive oval as if she was blowing him a long kiss.

Nagsigawan ang mga tao. Lahat ay nagpapalakpakan maliban kay Javier na hindi inalis ang tingin sa kanya. Mainit ang mga mata nito kay Ella.

Pinatugto ulit ng banda ang kanta, pero ngayon sa mas masayang tempong nakasanayan ng lahat at ang lahat ng bisita ay kumanta na rin habang may dinadalang malaking birthday cake kay Javier. Umalis si Ella sa podium at sinundan ang mga tao hanggang sa nakatayo na siya sa tabi ng dark forest cake na may nakasulat na ‘Happy Birthday, Javier’ na gawa sa icing.

Tumingin si Ella sa boss niya at ngumiti habang binabati ito ng happy birthday.

"Happy birthday, Boss."

    C H A P T E R 3 0 : H I S P R I N C I P L E E L L A S T A N F O R D “I want you, Ella. Damn.” She heard the hoarse sound he made. He pulled her head back and lowered his own, their mouths clinging, filled with a driving physical need that beat through her veins like fire, turning her body into helpless fluidity. Javier held her body between his roving hands and she made no effort to stop him, shuddering with pleasure under the kiss which seemed to last endlessly, as though in itself it were an act of possession. And that was when she realized in the distant recess of her mind that she was in love with him. That she had always been. She had always been more aware of his presence in a room than she had dared admit. He had gradually filled every corner of her heart without her either being able to stop it or admit it. Her driving need to give herself to him, to throw away years of firm principle, was the ultimate expression of a love which, like an unwanted weed, had thrived on

    “You have no idea how I have been waiting all evening for this.”They kissed desperately, her arms closing around the back of his head to pull him nearer. Her half-naked body was trembling in his arms. It had been so long, the kisses were a hot rush across her flesh, an overload to her senses that woke up all those lonely places inside her that she had ignored for god knows how long. He touched his tongue to the seam of her lips, and her chest got tight and achy and her knees threatened to buckle. She raised her hands to his shoulders to keep from falling and tilted her head to the side. Her lips parted, and the slick touch and warm glide of his tongue was like dropping a lit match on a pool of gasoline and she went up in flames. She wanted to burn and make him burn along with her. He tasted like beer and liquid sex and she wanted to eat him up. A low moan escaped her chest, her breasts grew heavy, and her nipples tightened into hard points of pleasure. All of her defenses had weakened

    Giving him a little smile, she discreetly moved his hand back to his lap. “None, unfortunately. I do not have any.”“No way, I do not believe that.” He narrowed his eyes, giving it a thought, and then his lips formed a mischievous smile. “How about modeling? Could you strike a pose?”“Not really though,” Ella giggled as she suddenly remembered what Damon had always made her do whenever they had gone shopping. “My friend, Damon, he always asks me to try out the clothes we bought and pose.”“Then I am sure he sees your talent there.” His green eyes danced. “Are you free tomorrow?”Ella glanced at Javier for one split second before answering, “I am sorry but my schedule depends on my boss.”“Would you come over and pose for me? I will put your beauty into canvas,” promised Roberto with a smile. “What do you say?”“I am afraid I have to say no.”“Oh, come on.” He turned to Javier. “Can I borrow her for a few hours tomorrow?”Javier shrugged and then took a drink of his red wine. “That is r

    C H A P T E R 2 7 : B R E A T H L E S S E L L A S T A N F O R D Ella closed her door, searched through her purse to make sure she had her key, trying to stop the aching in the pit of her stomach as Javier took her arm and she felt the power of those strong fingers around her. They were walking in silence and after she could make sure that her heartbeat was steady and she was no longer out of breath, Ella pointed it out again, “You said you brought me to Sicily to help you persuade him to join us.” Close to her ear, Javier said softly, “I want to sign him up, not strangle him, love.” She felt a confused sensation of excitement and alarm, her ears drumming. Somehow she walked along the corridor beside him to the lift, trying to force her breathing to slow. In the lift she stood a foot away from him, her eyes lowered. They walked through the foyer to the car park in silence. Javier opened the door and she quickly slid into the passenger seat before he could touch her to assist her.

    Ella felt her body grew tensed the second she had heard his voice and Roberto must have felt it too as he let go of her hair and gave Javier a nod. “I was just chatting with your beautiful secretary,” he said. “How was your flight here?”She turned around and caught the stony look on her boss’s face. His eyes lingered on her for several seconds before they moved to Roberto’s as he replied, “It was fine.”“I am guessing it was or else your brother will probaby hear your complaints as soon as the plane lands or perhaps even before.” Roberto chuckled.Javier gave what might seem as a polite smile but Ella noticed the icy look on his blue eyes. He did not think that joke was funny. “Holden always makes sure the service for all of his customers are great and up to standards.”“Of course,” Roberto nodded. “Maybe one day I will get to buy an airplane from your brother. You will help me get a sizeable discount, right?”“I will see what I can do,” said Javier, not giving any promises yet the ot

    Ella was not sure what had possessed her but she responded to every kiss, every touch, and her body burned with hot, tingling desire. A power boat was speeding towards them from the misty reaches of the sea instantly awoke her from the trance in which his lovemaking had held her. Her eyes flew open and she gave a low shivering cry. Javier lifted his head, silently taking in her horrified, shamed expression, then a wry smile flickered over his face.Without a word he flung himself over on to his back, breathing hard, staring up at the halcyon blue of the sky that had almost the same color as his eyes. Sick, humiliated, burning with self-contempt, Ella sat up and dived into the sea. Without thinking she swam back towards the beach. The last few moments had been a revelation to her. She had always been secretly aware that she was attracted to him and now she had to face the fact that he had a power over her senses which made her despise herself.As she walked back towards the changing boo
