LOGINI sat on my bed as I tried to calm myself. I inhaled and released a deep breath. “I’m going crazy,” I said and rubbed my face using my two palms. I stood and went to the kids. I checked on them in their rooms. When I arrived, they were both sleeping peacefully in their own designated beds. I w
I 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
I gulped while I felt my cheeks heating up. I secretly released a slow breath. Why did it suddenly feel hot? I saw Arzhel glance at me. Poker-faced, then he opened the folder in front of him, acting innocent. I composed myself and focused on the presentation. After almost an hour, Janna and Etha
When we arrived at the bar, it was very full. It was almost packed. We saw Lorenzo at one of the big tables. He waved at us. I hugged him. “Sorry,” he whispered. I already knew what he meant, so I just smiled. “It’s okay,” I said. He went to Arzhel to greet and hug him. “It’s so full. Are
I nodded. Then he bid his goodbye. Arzhel wore his sunglasses and stood up. “Wanna tour around?” he asked. I was about to roll my eyes at him, but he spoke again. “Let’s not argue during our entire stay here,” he said and put his hands in his pockets. “When was the last time you had a vacation?”
Lorenzo prepared a buffet for us for lunch, so we went to the hotel restaurant to have lunch together. I looked for my table. I mentally rolled my eyes when I saw mine next to Arzhel. Luckily it was only our first names, or else they would put Theron as my last name. That would be embarrassing.
“I should have let myself cry and yearn more before, instead of distracting myself,” I whispered and sighed. If I did that, maybe my heart would automatically get tired and give up loving him. I stood up and went to Arriana’s room. I saw her still sleeping peacefully. It was Sunday so she didn’t h
