‘GIDEON has a wife and I’m her mistress…’It was the first thought that came into her mind when she saw the wedding picture hidden in the drawer. The lady in the photo was beautiful—no, extremely beautiful. And she was not that dumb to deny the obvious fact that it was Gideon’s wedding.She quickly returned the picture frame back to its own place when she heard the doorknob move. The timing was just right when she reached the bed and lay beside Summer as the door opened and Gideon came in.He was in his gray pajamas and shirt. His hair was messy and looked like it was done on purpose to add more to his appeal. His deep brown eyes bore on her and she instantly looked away. She secretly bit the insides of her cheek when he caught her stealing glances at him.Yes, she was shy even though Gideon kept giving her glances too.She slightly raised the blanket up to her shoulders before she faced Summer’s direction and gave her a hug. She closed her eyes and listened closely to the steps of th
WITH the bouquet in her hands, Lyzza walked down the red carpet that led to the altar, where Gideon was standing in his gorgeous white tuxedo while staring directly at her.“You have a very handsome husband-to-be, sweetheart. My granddaughter really has his eyes,” her mother whispered silently while walking beside her.“Mom.” She giggled and held her arm more tightly. “I’ll only get married. It’s not like I will get out of the country and we won’t see each other for ten years.”Her mother gave her a tiny pinch from behind. “You’re silly!”She didn’t respond because she knew her mother must be really happy for her and her daughter. Summer waved cutely at her when they passed by the kid, sitting right beside Gideon’s parents. The little girl even gave her a flying kiss that made her laugh.Her daughter looked extremely pretty in her blue-colored dress, which was also the theme of their wedding. Her hair was tied up just like hers, which made her fair complexion stand out. Her cheeks wer
GIDEON couldn’t take his hands off Lyzza’s waist even though they were already seated at the center couch made specifically for the newlyweds. He couldn’t stop himself from giving her tiny glances from time to time. Her eyes were glowing—she was glowing. The wedding gown he chose really suited her beauty. Carollette even got mad at him for choosing a different dress for Lyzza to wear.His sister wanted Lyzza to wear an off-shoulder dress; he didn’t have any idea what the girls called it. All that he knew was that the dress would flaunt her shoulders once she wore it. He strongly disagreed with his sister’s choice and chose a more decent-looking gown instead.The program just got finished, and the visitors ate their meals right after. Lyzza was eating her slice of cake and feeding her daughter at the same time. Her baby sat on his lap as she ate.“Sweetheart, should I get you a cake for yourself?” he asked her daughter when he noticed how Summer ate all the cake she had for his wife.H
HE could feel the force in his friend’s hand pressing the cigarette against the concrete wall beside him.“Al-Sharique escaped from the prison. Someone is backing him up.”Al-Sharique was one of the two leaders of the group he got involved with four years ago. It was the same syndicate that left him in a coma for a month—an international syndicate that was based in Colombia. The group kept exporting tons of drugs into the country, and he was the one tasked with dealing with the group as part of the mission. The drugs were brought to the rivers behind the public’s back. He then eventually found the laboratory where the drugs are being fabricated.The other leader of the syndicate, Us-Mahid, tried to kill him. The man ambushed their group along with his men. Gideon killed the bastard and his men, while Al-Sharique escaped and flew out of the country. He hid in Afghanistan, where he originally came from, but the Colombian government held him captive when he went to their country in order
THE gentle brush of the cold breeze of air against her skin awakened her from her deep sleep. Lyzza was drained and exhausted. She had no idea when Gideon stopped doing her last night, right after they left their wedding reception.Needless to say, she and Gideon got some of their intimate moments back. She had no idea why his touch made her feel different in so many ways. It was like all of the memories between the two of them from four years ago came rushing back, lingering in every corner of her mind and making her feel hot around him.She opened her eyes and looked for the blanket. It was right below her lower body, so she moved a bit to reach it. She was about to pull the blanket up to cover her nakedness when she noticed that her husband’s space was empty.A figure was standing in front of the glass wall, where the whole city could be seen. Gideon silently stared at the skyscrapers with a serious expression on his face. The glistening city lights peeped through the glass wall an
LYZZA rolled her eyes as she and Summer saw Gideon sitting comfortably on the couch in their living room. The little girl waved her hand to her father before turning to her curiously. Summer then glanced between her and Gideon.“Mommy, why are you rolling your eyes at dad? Are you mad at him? Summer asked her innocently, pouting her lips.She rolled her eyes at Gideon once again before she smiled at her daughter. “Let’s go, baby. We’re going to fit some gowns.”She then showed her the clothes she had on hand. Those were her mother Gerona’s gifts to them. They would be wearing it at Vesarius Airlines’ anniversary.“Daddy, you should come with us!” Summer suggested, gesturing for her father to come with them.Gideon’s gaze found them. He offered her an intent look before his gaze went to their daughter.“No, sweetheart. I want you to surprise me with your princess dress. Come on!”“Yes, Daddy!” Summer exclaimed excitedly and then ran towards her bedroom in the penthouse.His eyes went b
SHE couldn’t help but close her eyes and use her hands to cover them when the cameras started flashing the minute she got out of the limousine in which she rode on her way to the venue where the airline’s anniversary party would be held.The reporters bombarded her with question after question, to the point that she almost lost her balance because of all these people flocking her way. It was fortunate that she was the first to exit the car, leaving Summer to stare at her from the inside.“There have been some claims stating that you are the woman who married the CEO of Vesarius Airlines. Is that true?”She used her arms to cover her eyes more and to hide her face. The cameras flashed even more, so she decided to use her body to hide the view inside the open limousine door. They might see Summer waiting inside, and she could never risk her baby getting hurt from this incident.Men with huge bodies came into the picture to rescue them from the reporters. They protected Lyzza and Summer
A PANG of pain struck her as she got frozen in her seat. The woman just kissed her husband in front of her. It wasn’t just a random woman, but the same woman she saw in the wedding picture with Gideon.Summer did not seem to like what she saw either, so she practically pushed the woman away when the latter was about to kiss Gideon, who was also shocked, on the lips.“Ouch!” the woman responded with her high-pitched voice.“Don’t kiss my daddy!”“You, brat!” The woman shouted and raised her hand to beat Summer, but Lyzza was very quick to stop her.“Don’t you dare hurt my daughter!” she said warily, offering the woman a sharp look. Before she knew it, she had unintentionally stood up from her seat, drawing almost everyone’s attention to the event.“And who are you?” There was a hint of annoyance in the woman’s voice. She lost her posture after what Summer did. Her lipstick was a mess, and so was the expression on her face.“I’m the mother of the kid you were about to hurt.”The woman f
