I was currently working on some paperwork when mom suddenly called.I answered the call while still looking at the papers."Hi, mom! What's up?" I greeted."Hi, honey. How's work?""It's great. I am doing fine. I'm currently working on our project for next month." I answered."It's good to hear that. Can you leave that even for just three hours?”I stopped what I was doing. "Why, ma? Do you need anything?”"Nothing, honey. I don't have anyone with me now. I just thought of bonding with you. I want to be with one of my princesses when it's just the two of us. And besides, you have been working all week. You need a break, come on.”"You know the pressure, mom. The party is just a few weeks away. I have to be hands on because we might fail. I don't want to embarrass you or dad.""I know that won't happen 'cause you are the best. You are good at what you do. We will never be embarrassed because of you. Come on. Take a break even for a moment. Come with me, baby, please."I let out a weak

I finished what I was doing that I didn't realize it was getting late. And to unwind, I chose to go for a walk in a park that is just near our building.The past few days have been quite stressful. I continuously had pain in my butt and hip when sitting. I can hardly do the regular exercise I do.Suddenly, a thought about Vish came inside my head. What does he look like? Is he handsome? Why was he so confident when he said he will be competing with Ev? He won't say it maybe if he has no defense.I laughed at my own thoughts. We both don't have profile pictures on our accounts so we don't know each other's looks. We are both private, but flirting.Obviously, what we were doing is flirting. Especially him, he knows a lot of tactics.I went to sit on one of the beaches. In front of me is the calm ocean which added beauty to this park especially when it's night. There are warm colors of street lights.This is the kind of scene I always see in romantic movies. There are couples around me h

"I was what?" I raised my voice because of so much shock.I died? Then they even gave me a decent burial? Is it serious?"You died. The wounds you sustained at the hands of your uncle were severe. You were almost unrecognizable. The fact also that your body and health were no longer stable during that time, it was almost likely impossible for you to survive. You were declared dead after several hours. But, after everybody left, it was only you and me inside your hospital room, when suddenly your heartbeat returned. You came back to life and I told that news to your parents. But they had other plans. They wanted to protect you from further damages so they decided to keep that fact from anybody else, even to your friends and lover. We made a way to get you out of the country and we succeeded. We also couldn't believe at first that you came back to life. Later on, I found out that there was a mixed up of results in the lab. The wrong results went to you. It turns out that your disease is

The party then started. The speaker started introducing the people responsible for this party including the president of this country.This party is just a celebration for the success of partnership of foreign investors with this country.Every well-known companies' presence is important in this event. That's one way to show support and success.There were music performances, from soft pace to high vibing songs.I somewhat enjoyed the show. But the people next to me, their eyes are almost white from boredom. They kept rolling their eyeballs. It was pretty obvious that they badly want to ran away from this place and I can't blame. I've been in there situation.I just sat there for an hour. Until I thought of standing up."Excuse me, girls. I'll just get to the restroom." I said.They just nodded at me. "Don't be out too long. At least we have someone to be bored with here." Second one. I just laughed at both of them before leaving.I went straight to the bathroom and went to one of the

When we arrived at our room, my daughter was fast asleep, accompanied by a cute snoring sound.I slowly laid her down on the bed and then I went out of the room. I found Ev waiting in front. I approached him.He reached for both of my palms then he smiled at me. "Thanks for accompanying me tonight."I smiled back at him. "This is nothing compared to all the things you have done for us. Xyrie was tired. Thank you for treating us today.”He hugged me and I hugged him back. Immediately our bodies separated."I should be getting going now."I nodded. "Okay. Have a good night sleep.”He then left and entered the room next to ours. I went inside and locked the door.I took off all my body coverings then entered the bathroom and took a cold shower.Out of nowhere, I suddenly remembered what happened earlier near the balcony. I could still feel his lips on mine. And it's like the sensation I felt earlier is returning to my body.I closed my eyes and then slowly massaged my boobs. The cold wat
