تسجيل الدخولI touched Arzhel’s shoulder. I saw him glance at my hand. Adrian was speechless upon hearing Arzhel’s tone. He didn’t provoke him further. Instead, he took the wine and started to pour Arzhel’s wine. “I’m sorry,” Adrian said while pouring. Arzhel released a deep breath, and since my hand was on
The wine arrived. I tasted it. It tasted bitter and I could even taste the alcohol in it. So I didn’t drink much. I let the two men have it. They were now talking about business. It made me happy listening to and watching them because they now looked too comfortable with each other. So far, my w
“How’s your day, princess?” Arzhel asked Arriana beside her the moment we sat. We were in a round table. The seating arrangement was me, Arzhel, Arriana, Chris, and Adrian. “It was fun, Daddy! All my classmates missed me,” Arriana happily told him. “That’s good,” Arzhel said, flashing a quick sm
Before leaving the meeting room, I composed myself first. I was looking at my mini mirror, wiping my scattered lipstick. I heard Arzhel laugh beside me. I jokingly glared at him, which only made him laugh more. “You should invest in kiss-proof lipstick,” he said. “I might kiss you often,” he sai

As far as I remembered, I only had three shots of tequila yesterday, but why was my head still hurting? Or maybe it was from the lack of sleep? I checked my phone. It was just 7:30 am. My eyes shifted to my palms that had small wounds from clenching them yesterday. The image of me slapping Arzhel
“Mommy,” Arriana entered. She was holding her jigsaw puzzle. I set aside what Arzhel said. He was making it sound like she prioritized me, and I didn’t know how to react to that information. I thought Arriana would run all the way to me, so I turned my seat a little and slightly opened my arms so
“What brought you here, Arzhel?” I asked him. It felt like the first time I saw him again in my office after he started seeing Stephanie. I walked back to my table, not waiting for his reply. I felt him follow me. He sat in front of my desk. He took one of the documents I was reading earlier.
