Lahat ng Kabanata ng Clandestine Affair: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 6

Anger overtook my chest, followed by the crazy pressure pressing until I almost forgot how to breathe.I should have realized the consequences, I should have paid attention to the signs, I should have listened to my friends, and I should not have listened to my heart that was too infatuated with him. I've always been the most logical person, considering everything. But that doesn't apply to Maven... that guy is the only anomaly that makes me stupid.Many 'what ifs' and 'shoulds' are now floating around in my head. All those regrets came brutally, taunting me about how stupid I was for this man."If you're tired of me, Maven. You can say so, and we can end things." I swallowed, trying to push away the lump of emotion clogging my throat. "You don't have to cheat and sleep with her when we're still together. I'll set you free, it's that easy. I know that I don't deserve you, and I'm not as perfect as Alice, so I won't keep you."The heat behind my eyes was the threat of tears coming. I t

I haven't started work yet. It's about two weeks away because it has to be one month before I join. So I'll be a full employee of Camp Town on the first of June. And well, the waiting could be more annoying. I didn't know what to fill my free days with other than watching telenovelas, reading novels, cooking or lazing on the bed with my two cats.I stared blankly at the drama before me as my head split.

I could forget everything, move on and let what happened happen, but panic and something that had been languishing in my heart for a long time took over.

"How could you leave me and not look for me last night?" my voice rose as the call went through.The laughter from Jonas came immediately. "You're with Mr. Dimitriou. I won't interfere if I want our project to go smoothly.""What does that even mean?" I breathed."Maven Dimitriou is the club's owner and the biggest shareholder of the company we work for, Abigail. We can't do anything against his wishes if we want to live rich."The shock robbed me of my anger. I didn't expect...Gosh, why did it get like this? What kind of coincidence is this?"Are you serious?""Yes.""And that's why you let him see me?""Because, why not?" Jonas replied. "He likes you and threatened to withdraw all his investments if I didn't let him near you.""Damn, Jonas." I close my eyes, clutching my aching head."Did he hurt you? Was he rude to you?"Maven Dimitrou is more than all of that. He's a piece of shit, an asshole, a demon, a monster, a criminal. The most despicable man in my life.I take a breath.Get
