CALEB’S POV

Tahimik ang opisina. Karamihan sa mga staff ko ay abala sa kani-kanilang trabaho sa harap ng mga computer screen. Ang tanging ingay ay ang mabilis na pagtipa sa keyboard at ang malayong tunog ng printer.

Mula sa inuupuan ko, tanaw ko si Lyra sa pamamagitan ng salaming dingding sa loob ng opisina ko nakaupo sa cubicle niya habang seryoso sa ginagawa.

Inangat ko ang landline na konektado sa extension niya at tinawagan siya.

“Hey, baby. I want you to come here.”

  • WHEN DESIRE BECOMES A SIN   Chapter 124

    Dear Readers Ending a story is a quiet kind of heartbreak. Not the loud, painful kind but the kind that settles slowly, the kind that lingers even after the last word is written. Because this was never just a story I created… it became a world I lived in for a long time. And now, as I write this, I know I’m not the only one saying goodbye. This journey didn’t begin with Sapphire. It didn’t begin with Rafael either. It began with Caleb and Lyra Villarreal. Before the intensity, before the power struggles, before the complicated love between two people who refused to be controlled there was a different kind of love story. One that was quieter, deeper in its own way, and foundational to everything that came after. Caleb and Lyra were never just characters in the background. They were the beginning, the reason Sapphire became who she is, the reason she learned how to stand strong but still feel deeply. Their love, their choices, their sacrifices those didn’t end with them. They

  • WHEN DESIRE BECOMES A SIN   Chapter 123

    That was all it was supposed to be. A single week that stretched into a month… and somehow, without us realizing it, that month stretched into something far greater than we ever expected. And now, standing in the middle of our penthouse years later, watching the city breathe beneath us, I realized that what we had built from that one reckless decision to stay longer… had become a lifetime. Morning sunlight filtered through the tall glass windows, casting a soft golden glow across the living room. The city was already awake cars moving, people rushing, businesses opening. A world that never stopped. A world we had once stepped away from. And eventually returned to… stronger. I stood barefoot near the window, holding a cup of coffee, letting the warmth settle into my palms. My reflection stared back at me faintly against the glass calm, composed, but softer than the woman I used to be. Not weaker. Just… whole. “Mom!” I turned instinctively, the quiet morning break

  • WHEN DESIRE BECOMES A SIN   Chapter 122

    SAPPHIRE POVI could hardly believe it had been a full month since our honeymoon, a month that had begun as a simple, seven-day escape and somehow stretched into thirty days of stolen mornings, endless nights, and absolute indulgence. Time had passed without us noticing, each day filled with touches, whispers, and moments we couldn’t or didn’t want to waste. And now, reality was creeping back. We were no longer in a secluded villa, no longer shielded from schedules, deadlines, board meetings, and calls. Back in the penthouse, the city skyline outside reminded me of the responsibilities waiting for us Rafael’s company, mine, and all the meticulous, high-stakes work that came with being CEOs. The weight of those duties pressed against me, but the heat of our last month lingered, reminding me that the hunger between us hadn’t faded not even slightly. Rafael sat across from me, sharply dressed in a tailored suit, tie slightly loosened, reviewing documents on his laptop. He looked e

    I blinked at the sunlight streaming through the curtains, and for a split second, I forgot what day it was. The warmth against my chest, the faint scent of her hair, the softness of her skin pressed against me it all felt like the honeymoon hadn’t ended. And then it hit me. One week. That had been the plan. Just a week. A short escape from the world. From responsibilities. From everything that reminded us of control, schedules, meetings, and deadlines. One week to steal each other entirely, without the world intruding. Except… one week had turned into a month. Thirty days of stolen mornings, endless nights, and hours that blurred into one another. Thirty days of Sapphire, of hunger, of teasing, of laughter and moans echoing in the suite. Thirty days that had ended far too suddenly when reality crashed back in. And now, here I was, fully dressed in a suit that was too crisp, a tie that felt constraining, hair perfectly styled, but thinking only of her. I pushed myself off the be

    RAFAEL POV The morning sun hadn’t fully broken over the horizon, but the suite was already warm with its first light. I watched her sleep, her hair spilled across the pillow in a messy halo, lips parted slightly, chest rising and falling in rhythm with her quiet breath. She looked too soft, too perfect to belong only to me but I knew she did. All of her belonged to me, just as I belonged to her. A week into our honeymoon, and I could still feel the fire she ignited in me with every glance, every movement, every whisper. A week, and I hadn’t let a single moment pass without pressing her against me, exploring her, claiming her, reminding her and myself that nothing in the world would ever change that. I slid from the bed, careful not to wake her, though I was certain she wouldn’t stay asleep long. She never did when I was near. Her warmth lingered even as I moved toward the bathroom, the sound of her soft sigh echoing in my chest. The idea of letting her be alone for a simp

    The soft, golden light of dawn spilled through the curtains, brushing across my face and nudging me awake. For a moment, I lingered in the warmth of the bed, eyes tracing the curve of Rafael’s sleeping form beside me. His chest rose and fell in steady rhythm, the faint rumble of his breath vibrating against the sheets. The room smelled like him warm, familiar, intoxicating and my pulse quickened at the thought that he was mine, fully and irrevocably. Careful not to wake him, I slipped from the bed, letting the cool floor send a shiver through me. My bare feet padded softly across the suite, past the soft rug and toward the bathroom. The distant hum of waves outside was a quiet serenade. My hand reached for the shower handle, turning it on and letting the hot water flood the space, steam curling around me, warming my skin. I pressed my back against the cool tile wall, savoring the contrast of heat and chill, reaching for the soap to start my shower… And then I felt it. A hand
