"Work, Sweetie. I'm waiting," I read his text.I shook my head and rolled my eyes. Even though the text was from an unknown number, it was clear, just like distilled water, who it was from. I wouldn't be surprised if Aldo had my number. I guess he can spin everything in the palm of his hand. Well, except me.I smirked after realizing it had been a week since we hadn't tangled up under the sheets. He texts every day and waits for me to get out of the elevator, but I'm ignoring him. I'm serious when I say that was the last; it just depends on a miracle.I want a ring on my finger before giving in to him again. He can't benefit from my body for free while I'm still not accepted by my parents. If I had the chance to visit old man Castellanos, I would have done it. Maybe if he's the one to offer marriage, I'll grab it too.I stopped in front of the elevator after feeling the vibration of my cellphone. I raised an eyebrow when I read Aldo's message.It's even easier to get the old man, Cast

I smiled after remembering what happened yesterday. Plus, remembering Aldo's sweaty expression when he handed over the pack of fried, wrapped bean sproutsI didn't even jump at his deadly gaze. I really want to see the anger in his different eyes.His angry reaction and frowning made me happy over and over again in my mind. I don't even understand why I am now addicted to his reaction compared to before, when my heart almost burst out of fear.I bit my lip after Aldo's sweaty and naked body appeared in my mind while he was furious.I snorted at the tickling feeling in my stomach. I took a deep breath before quickly grabbing my shoulder bag and rushing out. I also immediately stopped the taxi from coming and immediately got on board."Mayu! I'm coming with you!" Alice was running closer, so I stopped the driver from driving."Hurry up, Lice!"I opened the car door so that she could immediately get inside. She was still panting after sitting down and putting on the seatbelt."You're so

"Take it easy, Aldo." I moved away and squeezed my body against the window.I heard his violent sigh, but I ignored him. I ate my fried chicken intestine quietly."Why is it so hard to have a conversation with you these days, Mayu?""Huh?" I looked at him and only saw the seriousness in the different colors of his eyes."Maybe because we are not married, Aldo? What do you think?" I asked sarcastically.He was quiet and didn't move, so I laughed softly. What else can you expect from a person who is afraid of commitment? Nothing."See? You're not moving anymore. Let's just say that I am not free until you are married to me, Mr. CEO," I mocked as I ate the last stick of the food.I threw the plastic cup in the trash bin before facing him. I caught his gaze and smirked."I'm not going to take your wealth, Aldo. I just want your last name.""You know my stand, Mayu. Marriage is not my thing, not unless you are Addison-""But Ate Addison is inlove with Alaric. You can't force someone who do

"I am not in the mood, Aldo."I took back my pillow and folded my arms. I also glanced at the fancy restaurant. There were only a few people in it.I heard him sigh and saw him purse his lips."This might be the last time, Mayu. After this, you'll be free."I frowned at what he said and was about to ask a question, but he just grabbed my wrist again and pulled me inside.Whether I admit it or not, my stomach grumbles when they put the food on the table. I don't even know the dishes' names; all I know is that I'm very hungry and drooling over the food."Eat slowly, Mayu," he reminded me calmly after I bit into the chicken thigh.I looked up at him. He doesn't eat; he was just staring at me.I quietly put down the chicken and wiped my mouth with a tissue before sitting straight."Tell me right away if there's a problem, Aldo. You might already be thinking of killing me without my knowledge." I grinned sarcastically and took a sip of water.His lips pursed, and his gaze sharpened. His gr

My head seemed to split in pain when I woke up. My vision was still blurry, but I could see a glimpse of the nurse at the side, so I planned to get up."Ma'am, take it slowly. Don't force yourself."She quickly held my shoulder to help me sit down. I could hardly breathe, but I had a strong desire to get out of the room."Ma'am, you're not allowed to go home yet. Let's wait for the doctor. Please, take a rest first."I could do nothing but lean on the bed when the door opened. I forced myself to take a deep breath to somehow make things clear around me."Good afternoon, Miss Selvestre. I'm Doctor Sylvaine. I'm glad you're awake. How are you feeling?" her voice was soothing.I look at the doctor with hazelnut hair. She is sexy; she is soft-spoken, but her face shouts boldness."My head hurts," I replied softly.I massaged my temples then closed my eyes tightly."That's pretty normal, and you should expect more morning sickness—""What, doctor?" I gasped at what she was saying and wonde
