"I don’t believe in fortune-telling.""Your life must be boring," Tristan quipped as he walked away. He pulled his phone from his pocket and answered a call, his eyes lighting up. "I'll bring her over. Just wait there and make sure you look your best.""Do you work in theater?" Bonita asked casually, assuming the mention of appearances had something to do with it.Tristan laughed as he put his phone back into his pocket. "No. I own a fruit plantation in the west, near where my mother lives.""Wow, I feel honored to know someone so important," Bonita said with a sly smile."It’s useless since you’ve already turned down my date invitation.""Should I regret it?" Bonita teased."You should, but no. You already have a lover. I’m not the kind of man who steals someone else's woman for personal pleasure."Bonita studied Tristan intently. "I could introduce you to Velica. She’s my best friend. She’s been single for a long time, even before I started traveling. Would you like me to introduce

All the windows in Tristan's family stone house were barred, forcing Bonita to give up on escaping. She had searched every corner of the house for an opening, but there was no way out. She even tried calling out for help to passersby through the windows, but they ignored her as if unwilling to risk getting involved in helping a prisoner.The crescent moon appeared quickly. Bonita chose to wait patiently for Tristan to return the next day, planning to confront him for locking her up with Benjamin—even though Tristan's words about food and the guest room were accurate.Benjamin had already showered and changed into clothes he found in the wardrobe. He asked Bonita to freshen up and change while he warmed the food in the fridge, but Bonita, too annoyed, refused when she saw that all the women's clothing in the wardrobe consisted solely of sexy nightgowns.Her diamond earrings and white lace dress still clung to her body as she lay on the bed. However, her leather boots had been removed a

"Stop it!" Bonita admonished sharply.Benjamin’s laughter echoed against the stone walls. He found most of Bonita’s written points reasonable, though a few struck him as utterly amusing. "Are you sure you want to know about that? You might get jealous.""I won’t get jealous as long as you’re honest with me. I’m not jealous of things that belong to the past.""Alright." Benjamin replied, taking Bonita's hand and guiding her to the sofa. His gaze softened as it settled on the woman who, to him, shone brighter than anything else in his world. "Just to clarify, does this mean I’m officially your boyfriend again?""As long as you fulfill all the points written on that paper ..., then yes."The kiss Benjamin placed on Bonita’s lips caught her completely off guard. Before she could think better of it, Benjamin cupped her face, pulling her closer as the kiss deepened into a gentle embrace.Having grown unused to such intimacy after so many years, Bonita tried to match his rhythm. Her arms fou

Drenched in sweat and immersed in inescapable pleasure, Bonita and Benjamin lost track of everything happening outside the campervan. It was impossible to count how many times Jeremy had tried calling the newlyweds who had vanished from their own wedding reception. He had traveled halfway across the world to attend his sister's big day, only to find her once again behaving as she pleased."Let it go; leave them be. Nothing bad will happen," Melissa said in a calming tone, patting the back of their son, Julian, who was snuggled in her arms. "Even if something does, they’ll figure it out on their own."Jeremy glanced toward Edith, who was smiling quietly in a corner of the resort they had rented as accommodations while preparing for the wedding. After years of estrangement, the resentment he once harbored toward his mother was gradually fading."Edith doesn’t seem worried. Boo has proven herself capable of traveling the world without causing trouble.""That’s only because Benjamin is wi
