Under the enchanted influence of the piano, romantic music continued to be played with great success. On the other hand, my focus was not entirely on it. All of my attention is currently focused on the steak that is in front of me. It had a medium rare doneness, which is my preferred cooking method. It is only at that time that I realize that I have not yet eaten anything today, and my mouth is beginning to drool so much that it is literally falling out of my mouth. As a result of the enormous amount of food that I had devoured at the restaurant the previous evening (the one that Gunner booked), I did not cook breakfast for myself because I was still feeling full. Simply put, it was so delicious that I began to forget about my diet earlier.And at this very moment, I am once more eating here. My weight is probably something that is bothering me right now. On the other hand, I shoved all of my thoughts away. I love to eat, anyway! On the day that I was finally released from the Royal
It was about five thirty in the afternoon when I found myself stuck in traffic in the borough of our city that was the busiest. The blaring horns that are coming from the vehicles are a source of annoyance. It appears that today is a day of misfortune for me. That was the moment when I once more caught a glimpse of that Bullet's face! It is a solemn oath that humans like him are a source of all my misfortunes. Because he possesses these particular effects, he has the ability to make the person he is targeting experience nothing but misfortune.There is no way that I will ever see him again!I let out a sigh that was really annoying. And then, exactly one second after that, I got a phone call from someone. In this case, Gunner was the source. I initially smiled and then I realized how pushover I looked because of that. That is why I initially frowned the moment I answered the call. "Hi there?" I exerted a lot of effort to keep my voice from sounding interesting to him. I even used a y
Before going home, I made the decision to simply go to the restaurant that was closest to me. Tonight, I am not in the mood to prepare a meal for myself. I simply want to lie down on my bed and rest when I go back to my house, and if I have the time, I might even talk to Gunner for a little while. A Filipino restaurant that serves pork adobo, which is one of my favorite comfort foods, is the establishment that I have decided to eat at tonight.Due to the fact that I am a resident of the Royal Palace, I have the opportunity to sample food from all over the world. When I was a child, I recall that the King commanded all of the royal cooks to prepare dishes that we had never tried before. I remember this happening rather frequently. They are primarily from Asia due to the fact that the cuisine of that region is consistently interesting and distinctive. China, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, India, and Indonesia are just some of the countries whose cuisines we have already examined. But the
At that precise moment, I had the sensation of being a victim in the presence of a predator. In spite of the fact that Bullet was staring at me with a look of shock on his face, he ultimately grinned at me slowly after as if we were in a favorable circumstance. At that same time, I pondered whether I need to simply flee like a refugee or whether I ought to simply become a soldier who is prepared for battle."Sir, she is absolutely smitten with our pork adobo!" As she continued, Sonya acted as if she were presenting the most exciting news of the day. At that same moment, I found myself being aggravated by her. While I am taking pleasure in my meal, why is it that she can't just leave me here in peace and quiet? As an additional point of interest, why does she feel the need to point her fingers at me when she is actually communicating with Bullet?“It's good.” Even though he was still looking at me with a smirk on his face, Bullet continued to speak. “Following that, I will place an ord
As I sat down, I caught a glimpse of a smirk plastered across Bullet's face, who had chosen to take a seat at the table next to us. It is because his location is directly in front of me that he is able to see my face in its entirety. Damn this guy, he really has his own ways to irritated the shit out of me “Have you made an attempt at our beef tapa?” Sonya inquired, and that is the reason why I decided to completely disregard Bullet and not give it a second thought.With a smile on my face, I looked at Sonya. "No, I have not attempted it yet. Can you please tell me what it is?”"Oh! When it comes to breakfast, things like that are our area of expertise! In order to preserve beef tapa, thin slices of meat are cured with salt and spices. Beef tapa is often prepared every morning here in our restaurant. The appearance is similar to that of corned beef in some way. It is most delicious when served with garlic rice and an egg cooked sunny side up!” Sonya responded with a tone of eagerness
I shrugged as I slumped onto the couch. What a tiring day! It wasn't my work that exhausted me. Actually, managing the company doesn't tire me out because Jill and Shane are always there to support me. We're business partners anyway. What tires me out is being stuck in the heavy traffic on the highway road going home to my condo. It only takes me almost an hour in that traffic before I can finally get home to my unit to rest.I closed my eyes, letting myself feel the softness of my couch. I just wanted to get rid of all the fatigue that was overwhelming my system. I sighed heavily. At least I had eaten at my favourite Filipino restaurant that I always go to before going home. So I could rest until I fell asleep soundly. Not until I heard the sound of my phone notification. I took a deep breath and reached for my bag that I had just placed next to the couch. I took my phone from there and checked who messaged me. A smile suddenly spread across my lips when I saw Gunner's message.‘Hi,
There is a particular moment in my life when I vividly remember grasping onto and contemplating the profound concept known as "The Burnt Toast Theory". The theory of burnt toast is a self-help concept that proposes that small setbacks and challenges can ultimately result in favorable and beneficial outcomes. The concept is rooted in the belief that the simple act of accidentally burning your toast in the early hours of the day could potentially result in a delay, which in turn might prevent you from encountering a hazardous situation or even steer you towards a more favorable and advantageous result.Earlier this morning, I woke up considerably later than intended due to an extended phone conversation with Gunner, although I must clarify that I do not attribute full responsibility to him for this delay. I really wanted to have a conversation with him. I truly enjoyed spending my evening with him, and I have absolutely no regrets about anything that happened last night. It just so happ
It was a single moment in my life that I will never forget. Every tick of the clock makes it impossible for me to hold on. Like an hourglass, each pour of the sands at the bottom seems like a dagger killing me softly. I do not know what to do. I have no idea what to say. I never imagined myself to be in this situation ever again. I started messing my hair in combined frustration and sadness. It is a total torture for me.I'm simply here, staring at my phone as Shane continues to contact me. In my mind, she appears to be glaring at me with rage in her eyes. Her brows raised to give me a more frightening appearance. It appears to be extremely lethal; if looks can really kill, I am most likely dead right now, and any attempts to save me and transport me to the hospital would be futile because I would most likely be declared dead upon arrival.I swallowed hard, nearly choked on my own spit.My palm started to sweat but it was cold. On the other hand, my face is starting to numb as well. I
That very moment, I felt a hot liquid dripping down my core. It was the most sensual moment of my day, I can’t help but to secretly gasp and swallow hard with every rake that I did towards Bullet’s godly body. Right now, he continued to flex the hard surfaces of his stomach. The way he caressed it, I am imagining how hard and smooth it was on my hands. That part of him is clearly my most favorite. “Stop it…” I told him but conviction seemed to leave my system. I am just here, continuing to watch him touch his own abs while I am here, from the other side of the world, envious and longing to touch his body. “How about this? Did you not miss this one?” Bullet said. My eyes initially widened. I never expected it when he started moving his camera. Right now, he was pointing it to his crotch, who is proudly standing. It was so hard and looks longer now. I don’t think it is because of the camera angle or it is because of his desires towards me. “H-Hey!” I can feel my cheeks blushing more
I can clearly remember those days. I know that Elia has had a deep crush with my father ever since I was a child. I can see it with the manner of her gaze. It was then when I started to tease her to my father, the Royal King. Back then, Elia’s face was blushing up until she looked like a tomato. It was one of the best memories of my childhood because I never remember to laugh like that ever before. “Princess Cassandra, please stop with that,” Elia was chuckling nervously. While I continue to tease her. She is just really adorable when she was so embarrassed like this, it made me wonder a multiple what ifs. Back then, my father was single and ready to mingle with his age and body build. It is no wonder why there are still multiple young celebrities who are getting linked to him. Moreover, Elia stayed single for the rest of her life. She has had no boyfriend since birth. She always told me that it was her personal choice. Maybe she was not destined to become a mother but instead, to
When we arrived at the nearest restaurant, Anthoine and Princess Catalina treated me for a steak. And to be just honest, I enjoyed their company as much as I never expected that in this lifetime, Princess Catalina and I would clique like this. We were bundling like real sisters, that one thing I know I didn't wish for before but I regretted not to because right now, I must say that Princess Catalina has such a vibe as well. We were bonding like real sisters. Talking as if we truly cared about each other. I never expected that this day would come, that I would be able to enjoy the company of Princess Catalina. All I thought about her is that she was a jealous older sister, no more and no less. But upon having dinner with her, I finally realized that I should be regretting it. The time that I chose to avoid her rather than to know her more. Albeit she was so distant from me, I should have still found a way to be closer to her because she is also just an amazing person that she really i
Before I can even prepare myself for it, the Royal King is now weak as jelly. He was just lying here in the hospital room, with nothing but the medical paratus inserted in his mouth. This view of him is what I always fear of, I am not ready to witness it now with my own two eyes. But the nurse knocked on the door, and she told me that my visiting hours have reached their limit. She said that I have to go out now because first, the Royal King needs a lot of rest and second, they are preventing the Royal King from being contaminated by the bacteria that might be brought from the outside. I have no choice but to follow the regulation. I walked out of that ICU room with a broken heart. I told the Royal King that he should wake up anytime soon because I am planning a long vacation with him in a country of his choice. I promised him that I will make more time to bond with him. Right after I storm out of that room, I am wishing that my words are a motivation for him to get well anytime soo
I don’t know why but I was so anxious right now. My heart is pounding so hard against my chest as if I am going to puke my liver out in no time. I can’t think clearly when I walk outside of my room. But there, I saw no signs of Bullet in the condo unit. When I reached the dining area, it was where I saw the food that he prepared for me when he went out for something. I think he has work to do. I just sighed and tried to calm myself down. I started to eat the food that Bullet prepared for me. It was pork sisig and garlic fried rice. And thankfully, because of the food, I started to feel relaxed. It was so good that it automatically lifted my mood. This is the power that Bullet holds with me, he can change my mood just because of how great the food he creates is. Once I was done eating, I washed the dishes first before I headed towards the bathroom to shower. One moment after, I came back towards my room. I chose an outfit and it feels weird right now. Gone are the days where I was so
“And we are done,” Bullet announced after we watched the soup of the adobo boil, “you are doing so good for a first timer, huh?” Right now, I was standing in front of him. Our bodies were touching and I could clearly feel his crotch from my behind. I fear this may become my most favorite position for us every single day. “That quick?” I asked him because I was expecting more complicated procedures. I did not know that adobo can be cooked to be that quick! “Yeah, that was so quick to do. I just learned how to cook it probably a month ago,” Bullet said and then he rested his chin on my shoulder blade, “and I did that because I wanted to impress you. And I am so glad I did.” That initially made me smile wide. It is a good thing that he can’t see it because of our position right now. These gestures of his never failed to flatter me. The feeling of being wanted, that kind of surreal feeling that someone in your life wants to satisfy you. I don’t know what I did in my past life to dese
Right now, I was sitting on Bullet’s bulge. I can clearly feel how hard and proud it is right now. And I can’t help but to graze myself with. It was just so long and hard and I can’t help but to feel the need to feel it within my core. I just continued teasing him on his most sensual pat right now as we continued to kiss gently. The way he kisses me right now has a lot of care in it. Like, he was taking his time in making sure that he would enjoy every bit of the moment. It’s as if he never wants all of this to come to an end. That is why he is now savoring it to the best that he can. He was touching me in all of the places that only he could memorize that I love. But I really lost my sanity when one moment after, he started kissing me on my neck for which is my most sensitive part right now. I can’t wait but to moan as he is now reaching for the strap of my brassiere. And before I can even know it, he had already unhooked it and the top of my mountains were now prominent against my
Right at that very moment, I can picture Bullet with wings and halo above his head. I was never glad to see him ever before after this. All of the thorns on my chest went away in an instant the moment my eyes landed on his face. It’s like seeing hope in a person. I was with teary eyes as I continued staring at him. And before I could even stop myself, I ran away towards him. And then I hugged him so tight as if it was the first time that I ever saw him. “Oh, you missed me so much, huh?” Bullet laughed while hugging me tight. His body was warm. I hit him on his chest as tears continued to just fall down my cheeks. “I thought there was a ganger against me. I also thought that it was going to be my end once more, like a final end. A dead end where I have no choice but accept and face my death. But instead of death, the man who brought me heaven earlier this morning was what I saw. He caressed my hair and gently kissed me on my temple, “not on my watch, baby. Not on my watch.”“Why di
James has this infectious smile. I can’t help but to smile back at him whenever he was smiling sweetly at me just like what is currently happening right now. He was just wearing a black shirt and white jogger shorts but he already looked so expensive right now. I think anything he wears will always make him good. Like it is not his clothes that will add to his style but it is his face. “I am okay now, Cassie,” James said with a smile on his face. “Thanks to you, I am still alive and kicking.” I nodded while smiling at him. “I am so glad to help you. And I am hoping that right after that incident you will get to love your life more and more, especially, your family will finally realize that heavy burden that they have thrown at you ever since you were a child just by their mere expectations towards you.” He nodded his head, “thankfully, my family has already acknowledged the burden that they have given me since I was child. And they also promise that they will do better, given the
