After fucking all morning Charles and Stella gathered together in bed, naked and full of each other’s saliva. She had fallen asleep hugging Charles and he was the same.   Stella woke up by dusk, her body sore and she knows why. She gazes at the person beside her, how he is comfortably sleeping and holding her close. She knows she’s done the worst that could possibly happen between them. She has caught feelings for him so quick. Carefully, she started moving away from him when suddenly he moved closer to her, murmuring something she does not understand. Darn it! She wants to get dressed already. She feels embarrassed about how she lost control of herself. It was another her that took over, another woman she barely knows existed. Again, Stella tried to get away but Charles pulled her close. She started chewing on her lower lip, thinking about what else she could do to get away. She heavily sighed. “Do you want to get up that bad?” Charles w

Chapter 24 Around six in the chilly evening,  beautiful people started arriving with their luxury cars, entering the mansion of the Castigados. Their jewelry sparkling like their glittering dresses, their expensive laughs and giggles echoing. From Verna’s room, Stella could hear them all. Her hands were sweating while the hair dresser was doing her hair. Sure there are so many people, she expected that but being in the moment is not the same at all. The make up artist kept struggling which look is best on her in respect of her dress’ design. “Would you like a heavy make up?” the makeup artist asked her. “I’m troubled with wings or no wings. Both wou

There were countless shaking hands that happened. Somehow, it exhausted Stella, introducing herself over and over again. There are some seconds in which she thought they know her by the glitters from everything she's wearing than her name. Charles' girlfriend, they'd address her as."May I excuse myself?" Stella whispered to Charles' ear. She is having headaches from being around them too much."Going to the bathroom?" he asked, looking at her."Just up for a--""Felius!" Someone shouted and everyone looked one way. There, she saw who they call the most powerful businessman in the country, the one and only, Felius Castigado. He was walking mightily towards them. Every now and then someone would greet him. Stella's heart began racing in her chest."After I introduce you to him, we can go."The great Felius still has a charming smile despite the wrinkles. Like a celebrity, he waved and shook hands with people. Stella thought that

"When are we parting?" Those words rippled inside of Charles' head. He didn't expect that she would bring it up just right after the party. Yes, they can break the contract since the important part is done but if Felius says they want them to stay, they have to. "Are you in a hurry to end this?" he asked with a straight face. The room started to get gloomy. It smells of business. "I did say a month.""It's to prepare myself," she answers. "I'm not in a rush."Charles looks down, thinking what else could prevent this. He doesn't want to let her go just yet."If you want the remaining balance, I can--""No! Why are you even mentioning that right now?""Well, we're talking about the deal. It can't be helped." Stella was giving him this frustrated look but he couldn't quite get it if she wants it to end so bad or... "Listen, we'll know tomorrow. If it's okay to leave, we'll part ways.""Alright," Stella softly said. She stand up and

Charles just arrived at his office, closing the door behind him when he saw Andrea sitting in front of his desk. Her long flawless legs were displayed and her eyes seductively stared at him. A smirk then formed on her lips as she gets off the table and walks like a model to him."Good morning, baby boy!" she greeted Charles, wrapping her hands around his neck. "Did you have a good  night?""Better than you'd expect," he answers nonchalantly, taking off her arms just casually and walking past her. "What are you doing in my office so early, Andrea?""I do this before!" Charles didn't know he'd deal with this bullshit this early though he had seen this coming when she announced her return. He sighed heavily as he sat down. "Time changes, Andrea. I ask you to leave my office if you have no more to say."But Andrea scoffed away Charles' words and folded her arms across her chest. Then she walked toward him, slamming a hand on his
