Lahat ng Kabanata ng Falling For My PLAYBOY, Distant COUSIN (SSPG): Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Lorraine's POV "It's Mark, baby..." bulalas niya habang isa-isang tinatanggal ang butones ng suot kong damit. Ilang segundo pa lamang ang nakalipas ng kanyang inilayo ang labi sa akin. Pero muli ko siyang hinila sa kanyang batok, at ako na mismo ang humalik sa kanya. "F*ck!" he cursed while responding to my kiss. And when he finally removed the buttons of my clothes...he threw it somewhere and positioned himself on top of me. "So f*cking sexy..." he murmured, his hands were tracing the curves of my body...pressing it with his fingers. My breath hitched the moment his lips found mine again. Mas mabagal na ngayon. Mas sinadya. Parang hindi na lang basta init ang habol… kundi ang mismong pakiramdam ng bawat segundo. “Easy…” he whispered against my lips, his voice rough, almost teasing. “You’re rushing.” But his hands didn’t match his words. They were warm. Firm. Moving slowly along my sides, as if memorizing every curve they passed. I felt his touch linger… delibera

Lorraine’s POV I stared at my reflection in the mirror, my face half-done....foundation smooth, lips bare, eyes… already betraying me. Red. Swollen. Halatang pagod na pagod at puyat. I took a deep breath. Then another. Pero hindi pa rin sapat. Because the moment I blinked.. a tear slipped. “D*mn it…” I whispered under my breath, quickly reaching for a tissue. Then pressed it gently under my eye, careful not to ruin what I had already fixed. Tonight...I had to be perfect. A soft, bitter laugh escaped my lips. I have to be a perfect wife. The irony almost made me choke. From outside my door, I could already hear voices. Laughter. Music. The clinking of glasses. Guests had started arriving. Mga bisita na walang kaalam-alam sa nangyayari sa loob ng bahay na ito. To them we were ideal and ideal power couple. Elegant. Untouchable and perfect. My fingers tightened around the makeup brush. My breath hitched. “Stop thinking about it, Lorraine…”

Lorraine's POV (.... Continuation) "Ang asawa mong si Brando ang nag-imbita sa kanya...nalaman niya kasing nasa Pilipinas na itong si Mark. Kaya ngayon ay nandito siya sa bahay niyo..." What the h*ll in the world is going on here? He's the distant cousin my aunt has been telling me? What the.... Did I just f*cked my own cousin? No, that wasn’t possible. My lips parted slightly. "Sige. Ikaw na muna ang bahala rito sa pinsan mo. Asikasuhin mona muna.." dagdag ni Auntie at bigla itong tumalikod sa amin. Bumalik na siya sa loob. Habang ako ay halos hindi pa rin makagalaw sa kinatatayuan ko. "We're that close though...so don't think od me as your cousin," rinig kong bulalas ni Mark sa harapan ko. At doon lamang ako bumalik sa reyalidad. “What?” His expression remained steady, though his voice dropped lower. “Distant side of the family,” aniya. “Very distant. But still enough that I’m pretty sure our grandmothers used to fight over inheritance and land during

Lorraine’s POV The morning felt strangely normal. And somehow...that made everything worse. Soft sunlight filtered through the curtains of my bedroom while I stood in front of the mirror fixing the sleeve of my blouse. My face looked calmer now. Sobrang kalmado na para bang walang nangyayaring kababalaghan rito sa bahay. Sobrang kalmado na para bang hindi ako pinahiya ng sarili kong Asawa kahapon...sa mismong pamamahay namin at sa harapan ng kanyang mga bisita. Too calm...like I didn’t discover that the man I spent a reckless night with was technically my distant cousin. I closed my eyes briefly. Even thinking about it was exhausting. A knock suddenly echoed from my bedroom door. Three slow knocks. “Ma’am Lorraine?” one of the maids called carefully from outside. "Pinapahanap na po kayo ni sir Brando. Kakain na raw ho," aniya. I inhaled quietly before answering. “Pakisabi na lang na bababa na ako.” And with that, I grabbed my bag and headed out of the room. Sa

MARK’S POV The car slowly came to a stop in front of a massive glass building shining beneath the morning sun. My gaze traveled upward toward the huge silver letters displayed at the front entrance. LUMINARA JEWELS. And that name explains a lot. I glanced at Lorraine just in time to see her already reaching for the door handle. No goodbye. No thank you. Not even a glance in my direction. Sa mga sandaling ito ay muli na namang bumalik ang malamig at kalmadong ekspresyon sa kanyang mukha. Na para bang hindi siya umiyak kanina dahil sa naging usapan namin. At sa tingin ko ay mas mabuti na ito, dahil hindi ko din kasi alam ang gagawin...hindi ko alam kung paano siya patahanin at kung paano papagaanin ang loob niya. The moment she stepped out of the car, several employees near the entrance immediately bowed their heads politely. “Good morning, Ma’am Lorraine.” “Good morning, ma’am.” Ramdam ko ang kanyang awtoridad sa paraan kung paano siya batiin ng mga empleyado.
