Monique’s body stiffened. Her mind went blank. She asked confusingly, “How did you get in here?”She stood in front of him with her slender figure. Her wet hair was stuck to her face, and the crystal clear water droplets fell from the tips of her hair onto her delicate collarbone.His throat tightened as he walked in with his long legs and lifted her up. His breath was heavy, “What do you think?”Monique did not know how she should react because she knew what was going to happen next.She was dumbfounded in his arms. Her body was trembling regardless if it was because of the cold, fear or nervousness. Her nervousness could have affected him. He seemed to be a little nervous too. He asked in his low-pitched voice with a smile. “Are you still scared?”Although he was asking her gently, it brought Monique’s thoughts back to the past. Both occasions were accidents. She lost her conscience after she was intoxicated. ‘Damn it! I did not know what’s going on the previous two times.
Monique closed her eyes and accepted his kiss. Tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes and slid down her ears. ‘Forget it. Your life-saving grace was returned to you. All the good you have done to me was also returned to you.’She did not know if it was because of pain, her tears flowed non-stop. He wiped off her tears gently and heart-achingly but it would not stop flowing. In the end, she collapsed into his arms unconsciously. It was obvious they experienced a night of indulgence from the smell lingering in the air. The sky turned bright. The rays of sunlight poured through the windows. He hugged her to sleep. Knock knock. Henry heard a knock on their door. “Daddy! Mommy!” A young voice was heard coming from the other side of the door. It was Angel. Monique said last night that she could see Henry when she woke up this morning. Hence, she went down and searched for them after she woke up and brushed her teeth. Mrs. Lawson told her that both Monique and Henry
“Okay.” Angel nodded. Her voice sounded soft. Henry brought Angel downstairs and placed her at the dining table. Mrs. Lawson had prepared some delicious food for her. Henry washed himself up, got changed and stood in front of the mirror. He looked at the man in the mirror with a strong chest. He seemed to raise his lips in satisfaction. No one could resist his charm. He took a white shirt and put it on himself. He paired it with suit pants. It was a simple pairing, however he looked more gorgeous in it. Henry walked out after he got changed. Angel looked at Henry as he walked out. He had a tall and straight figure, he looked so handsome in his luxurious clothes, like a gorgeous prince, handsome and elegant. ‘He had even rescued us. He could protect mommy. He was indeed a match with mommy but why had mommy always said she wanted to leave? Moreover, they seemed to get along with each other fine. Why did mommy cry so sadly that day?’Angel could not understand the adult’s wor
The corner of Henry’s eyes twitched. He could tell the Angel was anxious. It could be because of her insecurity as she did not have a father since young.Henry suddenly felt sorry for both her and Monique. He held Angel in his arms. “Angel, I have made a pinky promise with you to protect you for the rest of your life. I will always be with you.”Angel’s eyes shone. She stretched out her left hand and pointed her pinky finger, “Daddy, you have to make another pinky promise with me.”“Sure.”Henry stretched out his finger and entwined his finger with Angel’s. “Daddy, mommy and I are a family. Let‘s keep this promise for a hundred years,” Angel said lovingly. They then stamped on each other’s thumb.Angel smiled happily after they stamped. Both of her eyes were like crescents. Her pink face looked so adorable. She opened the door, walked down and waved her hands to say goodbye to her father. Henry was taken aback by Angel’s words. Angel was his daughter. He would stay with he
It was already noon when Monique woke up. She slowly opened her eyes. The bright sunlight had filled the room. It looked dazzling. She opened her eyes and closed them again. Then, she opened her eyes again. She looked at the spot where Henry slept. It was empty. She touched it. It was cold. It seemed like he had left a while ago. Monique moved as she wanted to get up. However, her waist was aching and her legs were shaking. She looked at the sunlight shining in from the outside. The scene last night replayed in her mind. She woke up in pain. Her whole body was aching each time she tried to move. She took a pillow and leaned against the bedside. He had no compassion for her. She thought it would only take a short while but he went at it until dawn and ignored her imploration. ‘You were just his lover. You have to be aware of that and stop thinking of things you shouldn’t think of.’‘Just like what he said, stop overthinking and enjoy the moment.’She sighed sadly. She
She had accumulated a lot of work in addition to the proposal she did for Monique yesterday. She did not look up but answered in a terrible tone, “I do not know.”Yvonne frowned. Since she made a fuss at the public relations department yesterday, everyone looked down when they saw her. She nearly went mad. However, as she thought to herself that she had yet to hook up with Henry, she took a deep breath and showed a soft smile. “I am Monique’s sister. I need to see her.”Monique’s sister? Amelia raised her head curiously and sneered, “Are you Monique’s sister who refused to do anything in the public relations department?”Bad news has its wings. Yvonne thought that the people in the planning department would not have known about this. She did not expect Monique to have told them about this. Yvonne’s face turned pale for a while. She could not hold it in anymore. “Where is Monique?” Yvonne asked in a firm tone.“She took leave,” Amelia eventually spilled it for Yvonne. Yv
Why did you take leave? Monique was anxious to apply for leave. She did not think of this problem at first. She couldn’t say that she had just woke up so she had to say, “I am just feeling backaches and leg cramps!”She had told the truth. Amelia was stunned. What a ridiculous reason. She thought she might have fallen sick. Amelia was so jealous. She was the chairman’s girlfriend. However, she smiled and said, “Sure. Rest well.”Amelia felt uneasy after she hung up the phone and saw the huge pile of work in front of her. How could she continue working on these? Monique came down from the bed after hanging up the phone and walked toward the bathroom. Henry had tortured her for one whole night. Her legs were too weak to walk. She could feel the pain with each step she took. Monique took a long time to walk over from the bed to the bathroom. She stood in front of the full-length mirror and looked at her body full of bruises. She turned on the water in the bathroom and wi
She was used to being a strong independent woman. A little warmth in life brings her tremendous joy. This was the first time she has received flowers. Although it was not very heavy, she was holding it as if it was.She held the flowers tight for fear that it might fall.‘What if you forget your identity as a lover, and not as his little girlfriend? After all, there was no other girl with him, isn’t it?’Monique felt less ashamed as she was thinking about it this way. Facepalm! ‘Monique, what were you thinking about?’Monique was shocked by her own thoughts. She loosened her hand out of sudden. The flowers fell to the ground. Some of the petals had also scattered all over the ground. Monique was stunned as she looked at the flowers on the ground. Even if he did take herself as a lover, she indeed did not deserve him. ‘Monique, what were you thinking about?’Mrs. Lawson walked over, “What’s going on? Do you not like the flowers? Let me know what kind of flowers you like
