"You could've just talked to Mr. Falcon, sir. I can walk to the bathroom alone, though," I whispered softly as we watched his father walk out of our floor.He clenched his jaw so much that I thought he would shout at me, but instead, he neared me—not that he's not near me."S-Sir..." I stuttered when my back hit the wall.He put his arms beside me, cornering me and ensuring that I had no chance to slip out of his hold. He bent down a little, only to level his face against mine.He smirked at me without humor. His eyes are blazing with fire and anger. "What did you call me?" he asked with a little smirk on his face, even though his eyes were burning.I put my arms on his hard chest, slightly pushing him away, but because he is stronger than me, he did not even move a little. He snapped at my arms that were on his chest, gathered them, and held them tightly."Answer me," he demands, the smirk on his face is already gone. He's completely dangerously looking at me now."S-Sir..."I was cu
I know that I should not act this way. In the first place, I am not his girlfriend, and being jealous is out of the picture of our relationship.I shook my head at the thought of a relationship.Clearly, our relationship was all about lust. He likes me? Why would he fucking let a woman kiss him if he does? Or maybe... he means he likes me physically? He likes to fuck me, huh? He likes me for my physical appearance. He likes me on his bed while he's on top of me, hovering over me harder and rougher. Oh Damn!I caressed my arms as I looked up at the sky. Millions of stars and a moon are giving light to our darkness. Somehow, watching them makes me feel at peace.A low baritone voice interrupted me from my thoughts. "It's cold in here. Why don't you go inside and join your friends to have fun?"I clenched my fist and didn't answer. I heard him chuckle from my back, and I felt him put his black coat on my shoulder. I immediately closed my eyes when his fucking scent ran through my nose. I
"You may now kiss the bride," the priest announced with a wide smile on his face.Ethan and I faced each other. I can hear some murmurs from the crowd as he holds my white veil. His face becomes blurry in my sight because of the tears that are starting to form in my eyes. He looked at me warily; there's no smile on his face. He watched me like a puzzle he couldn't solve.I tried to smile at him, but my lips just trembled.I don't feel it was my wedding. Only our friends are here, and his family. I may be liberated, but I dream of my wedding being something special and memorable. I dream it to happen on a beach while the sun is setting and I am wearing a white dress, smiling as I walk down the aisle... to the man for whom my heart is beating.I like Ethan.No, I love him.I love him, and I married him even though I knew he couldn't love me back. I shouldn't settle for less, yes. But what can I do when all I want to do is be with him? I'm tired... But one touch from him and I'm running
I entered the room through the back door so that I could get away from the media. The last thing I want to happen right now is for them to gossip about my personal life. I don't want them to meddle with my life and ask why my eyes are red and restless."Mom! Where have you been? It's almost an hour since you left!" Jared hugged me tightly when he noticed me walking to their table.I tried to smile a little at him. I witnessed some people near us looking at us. When they met my eyes, they slowly smiled awkwardly at me."Let's go back to our table now, baby," I softly whispered at him.He looked up at me and blinked his eyes innocently at me. He then nodded, and I held his hand as we walked back to our table.Jess looked problematic, but when he saw us approaching, he sighed heavily and in relief."We've been looking at you! Where did you go?" The sincerity was evident in his voice."I just retouched my makeup," I answered in a soft voice.He narrowed his eyes at me, but then he nodded
Almost 3 hours were used for our meeting in the conference room. There are foods prepared for lunch, but I decided to eat my lunch with Jared in my office. Though I can just make my secretary call him and join us here, but I want to talk to him. Our talk last night was, I think, not enough.Manly laughs and sweet chuckles were slightly fading in my ears as I walked out of the room. My secretary was left inside to accommodate the needs of the board. My office is on the same floor as the conference room, so it was easy for me to go in."Mommy!" Jared's eyes widened when he saw me enter my office.I chuckled and welcomed his tiny body for a tight hug. He was sitting on the sofa earlier with his toys and sketching materials when I come over.I pulled out and wandered his face; he's smiling widely at me as I caressed his soft hair down to his face."How are you, hmm?" I softly asked.His eyes glowed and lit up. "Mom! Look at the different designs of the buildings I sketched!" He held my ha
I didn't have any idea that he's the new shareholder! I gave my secretary a deadly look, but he just smiled at me like it's no problem at all! Well, I understand him because he doesn't know about Ethan Falcon. But he could've just told me about some details about the new shareholder!And why is Elyse letting her husband come here and invest in the company of her husband's ex-wife? She should be locking him in her arms, right? Isn't she fucking jealous?When Ethan saw me approaching him, his eyes widened, and there was amusement in his face. My steps are slow, primitive, and elegant. I made sure that I had no emotion on my face as he looked at me. He could've noticed that the chair in which he's sitting is preferred for me. He stood up just as I got to his front.He smirked at me; amusement was written on his face. "You can now take your seat, my queen."I almost puked in the enderment that he uses! My cheeks burned because of embarrassment. It doesn't help that all shareholders and in
I ran to my office immediately, and when I entered the room, I saw my son holding his airplane toy and forcing it to fly in the air with his grumpy face. A sad smile escaped from my face as I watched him. He seems casual... like it is a normal day for him even though I know it isn't. I wonder what he is thinking right now? He has just seen and talked with his father. It may be too overwhelming for him."Why don't you play with the remote-controlled airplane toy, baby?" I interrupted his playing time.He turned to me, and he smiled a bit. He's neither shocked nor excited. There's no energy at all.I noticed how slow his walking is; not just like before, every time he sees me at the door of my office, he immediately runs to me and embraces me tightly. Today, it is different. Even though his lips are smiling, his eyes are telling me otherwise."What's wrong, baby?" I asked when he embraced me, a little bit worried because of his silence.He didn't answer and just shook his head. I caress
I went back to my seat after the call, still preoccupied with thinking that Ethan's fucking some model out there. I don't really care if he fucks around. I just can't help but be slightly pissed at him because he confessed to me that he still loves me! And now he is fucking some models already.Your decision not to accept him back is a good one, Pen. He has a past of being a cheater; why would I even be shocked that he can do these things? Tell someone that he loves her, then fuck some people around. Oh, fuck you, Falcon.Just don't fucking come to my company again, you fucking idiot! I don't want to see your face again!The next few working days, I tried not to call a meeting for all shareholders and investors. We are facing some huge proposals for projects, and they wanted to be updated on every progress that may occur, so I couldn't help but call a meeting some time, like today."Did you send Mr. Falcon an invitation mail?" I asked my secretary.He's standing in front of my table w
