AFTER being done with her last flight that day, Lyzza decided to visit Gideon at his office. It had been two weeks since he was discharged from the hospital, and he was back at work. This morning, he invited her and Summer to have lunch outside.Cleo was not at his table when she checked on him. She knocked on the door of Gideon’s office, but no one from inside answered. The door was locked when she tried to open it."Ma'am," a passing employee called to her. "Mr. Vesarius is not there. He left in a hurry earlier. He was with Sir Cleo. They're probably going to check on the airplane that malfunctioned.""Thank you," she said, nodding and giving a small smile to the woman. "I'll just call him."The woman smiled back before leaving. She took out her cellphone and tried to call Gideon. She wanted to ask him if he was okay. She knew that besides being a soldier, being in the airline industry was also a big part of his life. A small malfunction of a traveling airplane would cause a mess in
SHE put down her cellphone when Gideon said goodbye because there was someone calling him in the background, telling him they were about to leave. That was probably what Gideon had told her awhile ago: that he was going to Bacolod, where the plane made an emergency landing on the shore when it almost crashed.As she expected, she could barely talk to Gideon in the following days. In the first week of the incident, the whole country was poking its nose into the issue. Some famous actors just happened to be onboard the plane that almost crashed in Bacolod and also the malfunctioning one that thankfully hadn't taken off yet. The pilot immediately noticed something wrong with the plane while it was running.The airlines received a lot of criticism. They were lucky that Gideon's father was quick and was able to control the media. Vesarius Airlines also took quick action to help those who were injured and found dead due to the accident.Her husband was very busy. Their last conversation was
LYZZA didn't wait for her bodyguard to open the car door for her. She stepped out on her own, and even though she was almost stumbling to the ground due to her dizziness, her steps were heavy as she approached Gideon and Mariz, who were still in front of the building.With a heavy chest, she pulled Gideon away from the woman he was embracing. He glared at her husband before stepping between them."Are you cheating on me?" she asked Gideon, slurring her words. She was really drunk because she knew she couldn't face them if her system wasn't influenced by the alcohol."Strawberry," Gideon whispered, and he held her by both shoulders.She shook him off, and her eyes bulged as she pushed Gideon's hand away from her."Are you drunk?" Gideon's voice was gentle with a hint of irritation.She hit him on the arm. "I'm not drunk..."Just then, she faced Mariz, who was only looking at them. She had no idea what drama Mariz had, as the woman could only lower her gaze. She seemed like a coward who
**Warning: Mature Content**WHEN she woke up, the room was dark. But she knew she was in their master bedroom in the penthouse with Gideon. She sniffed, smelling the scent of her husband lying next to her, which she liked the most.Her head hurt, and she wanted to smell him. Lyzza snuggled closer and wrapped her hands around Gideon’s neck before burying her face in his chest. She smiled as his scent filled her nostrils, making her feel calm.She didn't know how long she had been asleep. But when she woke up again, she felt something unusual in between her thighs. There was a soft, pleasurable thing rubbing against her sex."Oh," she whispered, opening her eyes as that soft thing rubbed her again, giving her an unusual sensation.She forced herself to open her eyes, even though she wanted to keep them closed and enjoy the sensation. The room was still dark. She raised her feet and rubbed them on the man between her legs.Her foot hit the man's broad shoulder. Although she couldn't see
GIDEON got up from his position and lay down beside her. He tightly hugged her waist and effortlessly lifted her with just one hand. She almost screamed as she landed on top of him, and his arms instinctively hugged her body. She adjusted her position while lying on top of him and placed her right cheek on his chest. His heart was pounding very fast. It was similar to how fast her heart was beating at that moment. She was back in his arms again. The loneliness she felt in her heart for three months disappeared suddenly, like a bubble, and was replaced by joy at the thought of him being here beside her again. Gideon tenderly caressed her hair and occasionally kissed her on the top of her head. "About Mariz," he said, as their breathing returned to normal. She got off his chest and looked at him harshly. "Are you cheating on me?"Gideon chuckled at that. Annoyed, she pulled up and pinched him in the chest, which made him laugh even more. "Don't laugh at me, Vesarius! I know that ou
GIDEON passionately kissed her neck, sucking and biting it. She pushed him away and pinched him on the hips.Instead of reacting to what she did, he just chuckled and hugged her from behind. She looked up at him as she chewed a piece of chicken. His eyes spoke of many emotions, and he was smiling. He looked so happy, and she didn't know why.It was very rare for her to see him like that—it was like his eyes were almost sparkling with joy. It happened too during their wedding, when he was with Summer, and when their family was complete. She wondered what happened to make him have that expression, even though she was the only one with him…'Is it because of me?' Her heart secretly hoped that was the case, but she ignored such false hope as she didn’t want to assume.He quickly kissed her lips again before sitting down in the empty seat at the table. "Let's pick up Summer after eating." She nodded. "She misses you. We always sleep together when you're not here. Last night, I was suppo
"I… I just want to see Gideon." Mariz’s voice was weak and polite. The woman looked up, her eyes welling up, before she wiped the corner of her eye with a finger. Lyzza sighed because she didn't know if she could call herself inconsiderate, as her actions seemed more like theatrics to her. "I just want to thank him for what he did last night." She nodded and finally opened the door wide. "Come in." The woman was momentarily surprised, but seconds later, her expression turned pitiful again. Lyzza led the way to the long couch in the living room. "You can have a seat. I'll just call him." "Sure. I just want to thank him for what he did last night. I'm glad he still thinks of our past relationship, that's why he did it." If someone else had heard Mariz, they would have interpreted her words differently. Mariz was bringing up her past relationship with Gideon. If Gideon hadn't mentioned his ex-wife’s situation right away, her thoughts might be different.She left the woman who was
LYZZA thought that Gideon would follow her into their room after she walked out. However, to her dismay, she did not even hear his footsteps coming into the room.Her blood boiled when she heard Mariz loudly crying as she walked out. Mariz kept calling Gideon’s name and telling lies about everything that happened in the living room.She waited in the room for almost thirty minutes, hoping that Gideon would follow her and confront her or at least soothe her for what happened. However, to her disappointment, she only received a text from him saying that he would order his bodyguards to send her to Vesarius Mansion and that he would follow later. And to make matters worse, he accompanied Mariz to the hospital.Lyzza cursed Mariz and Gideon loudly, even though they could not hear or see her. Her chest felt like it was being hammered, knowing they were together and that Gideon chose that woman over her.She bit her lower lip harder before returning to the living room, where she left her ba
