Marissa’s POV“It’s okay. Don’t treat it as a big deal,” Nica assured me. “For some point, he is right, that maybe I was too overwhelmed and cared about you and Lilith, that is why I judged him too soon.”I sighed in relief and hugged my best friend. “I’m sorry again.”“I know you know him more than any other people, that is why you may have a reason why you choose to forgive him. But whatever it is, I just want you and Lilith to be happy.”“Thank you, Nica. You are the best.”After our lunch, I went to Nica to apologize because of what Diego said to her before he left for work. Lilith and Nanny Elisa stayed in the living area while I was escorting Brylle and Nica outside the house since they can’t stay long.“Just tell us if you need anything, Marissa. We wanted to check on you after the storm that hit,” Brylle said as he placed his arm on Nica’s shoulder.I smiled and nodded. “Thank you for visiting us. I will invite you again this weekend,” I said.“Bye!”After we kissed each other
Marissa’s POVDiego was right. It took five days before the rain stopped and the weather became good. We definitely just enjoyed the time we were together in his condominium, doing what lovers do, and savored every minute I am with him in this little world. “I can’t wait to see Lilith,” I said to Diego while he was in the driver’s seat. “Are you going to work after?”He nodded, his other hand on the steering wheel while his right one was on my hand that was resting on his left lap. “I have to. There were a lot of conferences that were on hold due to the bad weather,” he said and squeezed my hand before kissing the back of it. “Let’s have a date later. Get Lilith and Nanny Elisa ready also.”I hid my smile but could not so I just pouted. “Why? We have been together for five days. Are you not sick of me?”“Why would I? Seeing you everytime is like a holiday. You are the light in my darkest world, and Lilith is the new color of my life. I don’t think I could ever forgive myself if the
Marissa’s POV“What?” I muttered.Diego did not even answer me and immediately stood up. Without even opening my mouth, he pulled me up and continued doing so until my butt was on his left shoulder and my head was facing his butt instead.“Diego!” I called out. “Put me down!”But he didn’t listen. He marched towards the hallway without even turning off the television in the living area. I hugged his waist as he held the back of my knees in front of his body. When we reached his dark bedroom, he laid me down on his bed. With the help of his yellow lamp shade, I could see him taking off his shirt and dropping it on the floor. He didn’t even remove his eyes from mine as he proceeded pulling down his shorts until only his brief was exposed in front of me. I refused to look at his bulk below and just the lustful expression he was bestowing.He slowly crawled on the bed on top of me until he matched where my face was looking. He shrouded the white ceiling, and only his brown eyes were the o
Marissa’s POV“I made tea,” Diego announced, making me snap back to reality after watching him for a while.Oh, no…What is happening to me?“U-Uhh…” I stammered and continuously blinked so I could think of what to say. “I guess, thanks. I also crave tea… I mean, it does not mean I want it, but maybe I need… but like it’s not really my type, but I did not want to waste the trouble you rendered in making that, so-““Marissa,” he cut me off, which made me stop blabbering stupidity. “If you don’t want tea, it’s okay. If you want, then I will give you.”That’s what you get from acting nonsense, Marissa! Now you are exposed in front of this handsome creature on Earth!“Yes! I would like some tea!” I agreed and chuckled nervously. “Sorry, it must have been the wind that made me panic.”“Panic from what?”“Panic from, uhhh, rain outside.”The baffle was plastered across his face as he followed me nearing him. My eyes fixated on the cup of tea he was holding. Clearing my throat, I gradually g
Marissa’s POV“Huh? Why are you saying that?” I asked my daughter, nervous and stole a glance at Diego who had a serious face when parking his car.“Dad said he is going to marry you and we are going to be a happy family,” Lilith said.I frowned at Diego. He must have sensed me glaring at him, so he innocently looked at me and raised his eyebrow, mouthing a ‘what’? I rolled my eyes and regarded my daughter again.“Don’t mind your dad. He is saying nonsense,” I said and tried to make my voice happy.“What did I do?” Diego whispered.“Bye, Lilith. I love you,” I said.“I love you both, Mommy and Daddy!” she happily exclaimed and even sounded a sweet, loud kiss from the other line of the phone.I hung up the call before I ended the call. After that, Diego waited for me to speak up. The car was already parked in the basement of the hotel. “What are the things that you are telling Lilith?” I asked while still frowning.“Things like what?” he echoed, baffled by what I am asking about.“She
Marissa’s POV“Excuse me?” I had to say. “Are you talking to me?” The woman regarded me with a sweet smile yet her glaring eyes towards me were conspicuous. I furrowed my eyebrows and hovered my gaze from her head to foot. She was wearing a sexy white bodycon dress, a pair of high heels, with a Chanel bag dangling on her wrist.Wait, her clothes… were the same with the woman who was hugging Diego a while ago.Don’t tell me…“I’m Vivian, Diego’s girlfriend,” she said, her head raising confidently.Diego’s girlfriend? But did he not say that he never met someone else after me? Did he just lie to me, then?“Why? Are you surprised that you can’t speak?” the woman sarcastically asked.Maybe because I was confused that it showed on my face. I closed my lips that were apart and blinked twice.“Hi,” I greeted casually. “Nice meeting you, Ms. Vivian. I hope you have a good day.”She scoffed. “I know you. You were the secretary of my boyfriend before and a fake fiance who was desperate to mar
