You'll be Mine
"Celeste, my dear, what's your next plan for the Aomori Resort? The bidding will be held the day after tomorrow because the renovation has long been completed."
I glanced at Mom, who gently wiped her mouth and looked at me. Dad did the same before whispering something to the staff and turning to Oliver.
They decided to have brunch at one of the towers in Percepta instead, so they wouldn't have to return to the mansion. They had just returned from the resort, and I was sure they wanted to rest.
"Will you be staying there? The bidding will last for several days. There's also a social party afterward. Of course, you can't miss it, my dear," added Dad.
I nodded. "I'll be staying there with Oliver, Dad. He'll also accompany me to the party."
"Celeste, didn't I mention it to you?" Oliver tapped me lightly, so I looked at him. He had a grin on his face.
"What is it?"
"I have an important opening event with my clients on that day that

How can he be so sure? He has no intention of doing anything, right? What is he planning? Why did his entire focus suddenly shift to me instead of his return? Is this related to his company or to ours?I hope not. I hope I'm wrong. He's Ariah's father. I don't want to be angry with him if I can help it. We can also do co-parenting once I gather the courage to tell him about Ariah.So I hope we don't have any reasons to be at odds with each other. I don't want to change how I see him.I thought Arik was just joking when he said he would stay in my office until I had free time, but I was wrong.While I had back-to-back meetings, he was like a dog following me everywhere I went. It's a good thing that Percepta has a connection with Florida INC, so it's not too weird.But what if there was no connection? What if he's always here for no reason? Gods."Aren't you going back to your office? You've been here all day, Arik. Don't you have anything im

Unfortunately, as I expected, I couldn't let Arik pursue what he wanted because I had to go and pick up Ariah. Thankfully, he understood even though I gave a different reason."So, you were making out in the conference room after your conference meeting?!" Kim harshly said to me, seeming excited about what she discovered.I wanted to deny it, but Aurora didn't give me a chance."Girl! You won't believe what I saw!" She stopped and glanced back at me."They were being so promiscuous! They were on top of the table and barely had any clothes on! It was like watching a live show! They were like animals, desperately hungry for each other!""That's an exaggeration," I quickly commented. "It wasn't like that.""What exaggeration? If I hadn't caught you, something surely would have happened. My God! That conference room is now dirty and disgusting!" She continued, so I slapped her arm.After I fed and put Ariah to sleep, the two of them arrived, claiming they missed me.
After This Night Bidders
"The resort looks amazing with its new makeover. Madame Harper and Senior Henry really took care of everything. It looks completely different now," Aurora commented as we arrived in the lobby of Aomori Hotel."Yeah. Knowing Mom, she's very particular. She doesn't settle for anything less. Whoever gets it again will be lucky.""Arik will take it back, right? How much is the maximum bidding price?"We both sat down there, observing the few staff members bustling back and forth in front of us.There were no tourists around as the entire resort was officially closed to the public. Only those interested in the resort were present, including Arik, who hadn't arrived yet."60 million dollars.""Damn! That's a huge amount of money!" Aurora hissed. I nodded."They saved the whole resort. They didn't want it to become just a money-making venture because they didn't like it being under someone else's name. They wanted it to be truly theirs, the one they built and owned, so
After This Night Her Death
They sure know how to ruin everything. Just a few words from them and I lose my mood. If only I could wish not to see them anymore, I would do it.But our family is like a knot in the business world. Everyone is friends with each other.."The bidding is about to start in a few minutes, and you're already drunk. It seems like you're indulging in the wines here," Aurora commented as she sat next to me. "Where's Arik?""He went to the bathroom. His uncle and aunt arrived, so I hardly got to accompany him. He's so busy when it comes to these things. He's completely focused on work," I said, pouring wine into my glass again. "I don't even get any attention."I couldn't hide my annoyance in my voice.I dressed beautifully and prepared well. I even wore my favorite army green gown that showcased my entire back, but he only glanced at me briefly earlier."Wow. Are you sulking?" Aurora chuckles. "So, you were in love with him all along? When did it start? After the one-nigh
After This Night Who killed her
I wanted to say something, but I was too shocked by that piece of information, so I continued walking. Soon enough, he tightly held my hand as we reached a small villa.My mouth fell open as the breathtaking view below unfolded before me. The villa was perched high, overlooking a small pool and a nearby jacuzzi. The vast and serene ocean was visible from our vantage point."Wow. I didn't know such a place existed here. It's my first time seeing it," I exclaimed, marveling at the entire setting."I asked your mom, Harper Fuentebella, if it was possible to have just this part in my name, and she surprisingly agreed back then.""Really?" I said in astonishment, turning to look at him.He leaned against the table that was there, slowly loosening his necktie. I found him so hot at that moment. I wasn't sure if he was doing it intentionally or not."Yes, they were friends, my mom and yours. Didn't she tell you? Well, only a few people know about that. They were best frie
After This Night Martini, Kisses, and Chocolates
Less than five minutes later, Arik returned and immediately embraced me before carrying me back into the villa. He knows I can't move. I was still surprised by the argument we had because it was the first time I did that."I'm sorry. I shouldn't have let her get close to you. I should have sent her away earlier," Arik whispered to me as he laid me down on the bed.I bit my lower lip and shook my head."I'm sorry, Celeste. Tell me what I should do. Where does it hurt? Did she hurt you? What did she say to you?" He bombarded me with pleading questions as he knelt in front of me.I smiled and stared at him. His forehead furrowed even more, seemingly confused by what's happening."Come on, I'm worried. Stop smiling at me like that. I'm losing focus." He said, shaking his head, which made me laugh even more."Is this really how much you care for me?" I asked, surprising him."Where did that question come from?""I'm just curious. Were you really interested in me?
After This Night Moments Taken
In a moment, I felt Arik pull me close and embrace me tightly."Hush now, Celeste. It's not your fault. Stop blaming yourself for things you couldn't even control," he reassured me as he gently kissed my head.I allowed myself to rest on his chest. I could feel his body heat, the trembling of his hands, and the rise and fall of his chest due to his deep breaths."I can't say I understand everything, but I know how you suffered alone, and that's enough for me. I'm here now. I won't let you and our child be far away from me."We remained silent for a few minutes until I remembered the conversation I had with Mom earlier. I looked up at him. His eyes were closed, and his forehead was wrinkled."Arik...""Hmm?" He groaned without opening his eyes, making me smile."Where will we live?"Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked at me with those expressive eyes."What?""I said, where will we live?"His forehead furrowed even more, and I couldn't help but ch
After This Night Las Casas
When I returned to the country, I realized one thing about a person's life. It's that you can forgive some people without having to welcome them back into your life.I wonder if this will hold true for me. Can I forgive even if I haven't heard a single apology?I woke up to the sun shining on my face. The curtains danced as the strong wind came in from the open terrace. It was already noon."Arik?" I called for him when I couldn't find him in the room.I momentarily froze and remembered what happened last night. It all happened so fast, just like how everything between us happened years ago. But this is real. I'm not just dreaming. After six years, I got to hold him again. I could still taste his kisses...I quickly took a shower while waiting for Arik, but he still wasn't there when I finished, so I decided to go out.I stepped back when I saw him talking to a woman and a man who looked like they were in their mid-40s."Oh, there you are, dear. You must be tire
