Darkest Desires のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 121 - チャプター 130

VLADIMIR "Are you okay now?" I asked while we were having dinner the next day. "Hmm?" she confusedly looked at me. She looked so vulnerable when I found her in my tub yesterday. The way she wanted to make love almost the whole night felt like it was her lifeline. We were so tired that I didn't get the chance to ask. I doubt if she'll tell me either. So I called Dave first thing in the morning to know what was going on. He told me about Jade's visit. Yvonne apparently went home after that, looking upset. I can ask Jade but I decided to talk to Yvonne first. "Are you okay? Did something happen yesterday?" I said while looking at her intently."I heard Jade went to your office. What did she tell you?" I mentioned when it seemed like she didn't want to speak. She shifted in her seat. She took her glass and sipped while avoiding my gaze. "Uhm, it's nothing important," she said after a while. "Are you sure?" I frowned. "I know her. She won't come to your office unless she has an im

VLADIMIR"Sir, Ms. Foster is here," my secretary informed me.I looked up and clicked my neck. It's getting stiff from reviewing the proposal we were working on.I'd been losing my regular clients lately due to my unknown competitor. I need to open a new market for my goods to lessen my loss."Let her in," I said after heaving a deep sigh.She looked like a volcano about to explode. Fuck. I don't want to deal with another drama, but do I have a choice? I can't just kick her out of my office."What brought you here?" I asked."What the hell is wrong with your wife?" she hissed. "Is she even thinking?"I frowned."Why? What did she do?""She's ruining our brand!" she yelled frustratedly. "Our foundation is known as one of the most prestigious. We have wholesome projects, but look at what she's doing now! A raffle promo?! Seriously?""She's dragging your name into the pits! Where did she even get those whores?" she's like a kid throwing a tantrum.I took a deep breath to calm myself down

YVONNE I ended up falling asleep in my room that night. Vlad came home late. I was already done packing my bags but he still hadn't come home yet. I spent every minute waiting for him while overthinking. He said we will leave at four in the morning. Why isn't he home yet, then? Is he still with Jade? What are they doing? Ugh. I literally had to force myself to sleep since our flight was early. It was already past midnight when I felt him enter my room. It has been normal for us to sleep together. I'm usually the one who sleeps in his room, but at times like this, when I fall asleep while waiting for him, he is the one to go to my room. Even half-asleep, I can smell the minty scent of his aftershave and shower gel. He smelled so good. I wanted to bury my nose in his neck, but my pride wouldn't let me. I pretended to be asleep as he lay down beside me. I tried hard not to move. He snaked his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him. I was sulking but immediately forgot abou

YVONNEA van was waiting for us at the airport. I saw Vladimir's assistant beside it along with other men. I recognized some of them as his bodyguards. I pursed my lips. So in reality, even if Jade didn't come with us, we're not really alone on this trip.Well, what do I expect from a high profile personality like him?We were driven to our hotel by the beach. I looked around in awe when I stepped out of the van.The view is amazing with the clear water and majestic mountains surrounding us. It makes me want to live here. If I ever have to leave, I might choose to live in a place like this.Good luck. As if you can afford it! The voice in my head quickly countered.I tilted my head to clear my thoughts. Why am I thinking about leaving? I should forget about it and make the most out of this trip.Right. Cause it might be your last...Ugh. I shook my head."Is there something wrong?" Vlad asked."Uhm, no," I quickly answered.A hotel staff led us to our rooms after Vladimir's assistant

YVONNE"Hmm..." I covered my eyes with my arms when the sun had hit them. I must have slept for a while, seeing that the sun moved lower into the horizon."Hi!" someone suddenly spoke behind me.I was startled and almost fell from the hammock in surprise.The man quickly held my arm to stop me from falling. I jumped off the hammock, pulling my arm away from his grasp.I turned to look at him only to be met by a beautiful pair of green eyes. The man is tall, with sun-tanned skin and blonde hair.I lightly shook my head when I realized I was gawking at him."Yes?" I frowned to cover up my initial reaction upon seeing him."Do you know where I can sign up for the scuba diving program?" he asked.Huh?"Why ask me? Do I look like I'm working here?" I retorted irritably."Uh," he chuckled, looking uncomfortable while scratching the back of his head."No. Of course, not. I just thought you knew," he smiled, flashing a perfect set of teeth.Wait. Is he hitting on me?"There are staff around.
