AFTER her final flight landed in the afternoon, Lorelie, the female security guard, hailed a cab for her. Another security guard was there and currently on shift with Lorelie, so she was able to leave the main gate for a few minutes in order to guide her on her way out and wait for the cab.“Do you have a child?” Lyzza asked while they waited for an unoccupied cab.“Yes. I do, Ma’am. I have three. Two of them are just a few years older than you and have already finished their studies. My youngest, however, studies engineering at De La Salle University,” the female security guard responded with pride in her voice, and she scratched her head. “That’s why I am so thankful to the Vesarius family.”She turned her gaze to face the woman.“My children are their scholars. De La Salle’s fees are extremely high, especially when it comes to engineering courses. It’s a good thing that I got a job here. All their employees’ children are scholars of the Vesarius family, especially ours who did the
“I-I’M sorry. I didn’t mean for it to happen.”“What do you mean you didn’t mean for it to happen? Somebody might have some grudges against you. Look at what happened to our mother!” Lorelie’s second child pushed her.She did not move or even fight back. It was true that it was all her fault.“What now? You can’t even answer us? I’ll report you to the police!” The woman was about to push her again, but her eldest brother stopped her. “Let go of me!”“Enough, Shantel! What are you doing? Stop adding to the problems that we already have!”“What? Why are you putting the blame on me? I’m not the one to blame here. And I’m not the one who’s adding to the problems. Why are you blaming me?” his sister shouted at him.“Stop it, Shantel. Not now, please. Stop getting on my nerves.”“Then I won’t. But I will make sure to put this woman in jail.”“You know she had nothing to do with this.”His words felt like heat scorching through his sister’s skin. Shantel’s eyebrows met and glared at him.“Yo
“WHERE’S Summer?” she asked when Gideon opened the door widely.She went inside and spun around to face him. The living room was utterly dark. If not for the lamp from the outside, she wouldn’t actually see the expression on his face.“She is at my Mom’s. Rolle took her earlier.”She took a long, deep breath. “You should’ve told me firsthand so I wouldn’t worry. I’m going to pick her up, or I’d rather spend the night there in case Summer doesn’t want to go home yet.”Her eyes feasted on the darkness of the penthouse. It definitely looked lifeless.“Spend the night here,” he said in a deep, low voice.“I should be with Summer.”“You should be with me too.”Her forehead creased at his sudden statement. “What?”“We’re married, right? You should be with me too. And you should be…” He took a deep breath and shook his head, walking past her.“And I should be what?” she curiously asked as she followed him all the way to the kitchen.“Have you eaten already?”“Not yet,” she answered as her ha
“I DON’T want to. You might pull some strings under your sleeves just to make me and Summer leave the country.”“I won’t. What’s the use if you’re not listening to me either. You even left me, remember?”Her lips parted more. “And I won’t hesitate to do that again if you still insist what you want. Do you want Summer to cry again because she’s far away from you? Our daughter will throw a tantrums.”“It’s for you and our daughter’s safety. What happened to Lorelie isn’t a joke. Those bullets she took were meant for you. if she didn’t block it for you, you would have been the one lying on the hospital bed right now,” he said through his gritted teeth. Gideon’s face darkened as his jaw clenched. “I should fire those stupid guards.”“What the hell? Why would you fire her? She’s been shot!”“Not her. Those stupid guards that I hired to— never mind.”“Don’t you ‘never mind’ me, Gideon. You think I didn’t know that the taxi driver was one of your men?”Gideon didn’t immediately respond to wh
LYZZA lifted her hair and simply tied it in a messy bun before she checked her phone, which she had placed on the bed earlier before she took a bath.Her mother had a reply to the text she sent, and noticed she had missed a call from Carollete. She called her husband’s sister, who then answered immediately.Summer’s nose was the first thing she saw on the phone screen. She couldn’t help but laugh when she heard in the background that Rolle was trying to tell Summer to move away from the screen.“Mommy,” Summer called out in her small voice and smiled broadly.Her baby even waved her little hand with narrowed eyes.She looked at Summer in awe on the phone screen. Her daughter was sporting curly hair, and she couldn’t deny that it suited the little girl. Her chubby, pinkish cheeks definitely matched her curly hair.“I’m beautiful, Mommy. Am I?” Summer even put the back of her hands under her chin and blinked beautifully at Lyzza.“Of course, baby. You’re very beautiful.” She chuckled. L
SOMETHING soft and wet brushing on her shoulder woke up Lyzza. She groaned softly and hugged her pillow even more.“Strawberry, it’s eight. You should eat first.”She pushed that thing that kept brushing against her skin even though it was giving her a satisfying feeling. “I still want to sleep,” she said in a hush voice.“You can go back to bed after you eat. Come on, it’s a long day for you. You can’t sleep with an empty stomach,” said by the familiar raspy baritone.Lyzza ignored him, and instead she shifted her position on the bed, rolling to the other side while pulling the comforter up to warm herself. That voice didn’t bother her again but she felt someone caressing her hair gently, pulling herself from the depths of sleepiness.When she blinked awake, the first things she noticed were the skyscrapers that could be seen through the glass window. The lights in the bedroom were off which made her able to sleep better.Her mind was still in a haze as her hand tried to find her pho
**Warning SPG**“GIDEON…” she called his name.“Hmmn?” He hummed and put her nipple inside his mouth, which made her lips part in a sudden gush of pleasure.She held his arm tightly when he sucked the crown of her breast. It seemed that the man couldn’t get enough of her as his hands moved all the way down the hem of her t-shirt, sliding underneath it. The next thing she knew, Gideon was already massaging her right breast like it was a stress ball.“Oh…” she moaned, almost breathless when she felt how his fingers caressed her erected nipple, while he continued to suck and tug on the other one with his bare teeth.The warmth of his mouth was like a lighter that was creating a fire, and the heat was coursing all the way through her groin area.All she could do was bite her lower lip when Gideon let go of her nipple and removed his head from the inside of her t-shirt. Her body ached for more. She wanted to complain and hit him in the arm as she craved for more.Gideon held the hem of her
**Warning: SPG**Gideon released her lip before sliding his tongue down to her neck again. His lips and tongue didn’t miss a spot on her face. He even went so far as to grab one of her legs and place it on his shoulder.She arched her back when his hot, alluring breath hit the opening of her vagina. He let out his tongue, and using its tip, he tasted her entrance. He did this several times before finally devouring her vagina. He buried his mouth on her mound.She moaned as thousands of volts of electricity coursed through her body because of his mouth pleasuring her. “Oh! Gideon!” She grasped her husband’s hair, which made it even more disheveled. One of her hands was still grasping the couch’s armrest, and her fingers were almost digging into their mattress. “Oh, Gideon…”She threw her head back and could only bite her lower lip. She closed her eyes, and her moan became louder as Gideon continued to lick and suckle her wetness.“Oh! Ah! Oh…”He sucked her clitoris, almost making her
