“Brianna..” I heard Daniel called but I ignored him as I felt like my heart was being crushed. I have never felt so humiliated in my entire darn life and all I wanted to do right now was to just vanish and to never come back and appear again ever. “I didn't mean to--” “I know,” I quickly cut him off and smiled bitterly. Shaking my head, I then let out a sharp and exasperated sigh.Suddenly, my senses went back and my drunkness diminished in an instant. I slowly stood up and staggered a bit. But I quickly held my hand up to stop him from coming to me for help. This might be petty, but I was hurt so I didn't want him to touch me. I know we shouldn't do it, and I understand that he was respecting me. Daniel was only doing the right thing for us, and I also know I will certainly going to regret it if there's something happens to us. Because ever since the beginning of this crazy arrangement, we had already agreed that we will never cross the line. However, I momentarily forgot ab

I could've left earlier without anyone knowing about it. However, I knew pretty well that it would just be a futile attempt, because Lorenzo and my father had all the resources they needed. They only need to lf a finger to know where I will be. Thus, I went to the hospital to speak with my father first about my plan, than going straight to the office instead. “Good morning, Dad,” I casually greeted. He was alone, sitting on his bed and reading a book with his glasses on. Immediately, he removed his glasses upon seeing me enter the room, then squinted his eyes on me as he watched me slowly walking towards his direction.“You're not mad?” he asked instead of greeting me back. I pursed my lips and didn't answer that. I know it was a rhetorical question and he already knew my answer. He was just asking probably because he was surprised that I visited him. I sighed. After kissing him on the cheek, I straightened my body and directly stared at his eyes. “I'm filling a leave. I need v

My tears quickly flowed down as I ran back to the rest house. Instantly, I regretted what I've said and done as I realized that I still cannot let him go. I loved Lorenzo so much. And just thinking about not seeing him again felt like my heart was being crushed into ashes. I had been with him for eight years. My whole life depended on him. Even for the past two years, despite our situation, it wasn't that hard for me because I knew he's still with me. What is going to happen to me now? I cried harder as I leaned my body against the closed door until I slid on the floor. My insides were tremendously shaking and I could hardly breathe. I shut my eyes tightly and tried to stop myself from crying but to no avail. It was so painful. Heck, it was more painful than the time I caught him cheating on me. I bit my bottom lips hard until there was a metal taste in my mouth. I hated myself for feeling this way. Now, I couldn't blame anyone anymore, even Lorenzo, because it was my fault. I

“Mr. Gomez!” someone called. My chest pounded wildly upon seeing him. My eyes then fixed as I silently watched him turn his head towards my direction. He didn't move at first, and just stood there while looking at me. We stared at each other for quite long before he finally stepped forward.My chest hammered so hard that it hurt and I didn't know whether I would wait for him or run away as I watched him walk slowly towards my direction.I'm not completely sober yet and I'm still hungover from the events yesterday. And upon seeing him approaching, my eyes immediately moistened and I just wanted to run towards him and apologize. However, memories of him calling Julienne immediately popped up like a reminder that I just did the right thing. That's why, before he could even close the gap between us, I already stepped back and ran away from him. I heard him call my name, but I just played deaf ears. I kept running until I reached my rest house and locked it in. Almost instantly, my te

Lorenzo suddenly pulled away, leaving my lips parted as it was already craving for more. “Eat now,” he said in a hoarse voice as he carefully removed his hands off my body. Then I felt him step back before he gently pushed me to the dining table where the food he cooked was placed. I didn't move. I just blankly stared at him in shock and disbelief. Followed by disappointment. Then, my eyes narrowed as I realized what he had just done. He was playing with me! I can't believe I fell for it! When will I ever learn?!Quickly, I averted my gaze and glared at nothing in particular. ‘Jerk!’ I hissed inwardly. I rolled my eyes as I stomped my feet marching towards the dining table and unceremoniously slumped my body on the chair he pulled for me. I then harshly grabbed the fork that was sitting on the table and angrily stabbed the steak then took a big bite. I didn't care if Lorenzo was watching. I was not in the mood and I wanted to take my anger out on it. “Chew it well,” he reminded
