Nikki and Miguel spent most of the afternoon catching up with each other, while I watched them like a hawk. I felt a bit jealous of how intimate they were, but I know it's foolish of me to think that way. They are related, so they have every reason to be closer to each other. Yet, my small brain didn't understand the basics. “Why do you keep boring holes in your husband's head?” Star raised a brow. “Your jealousy is coming off you in waves. You have to cool your eggs before you harm someone.” She pursed her lips. “He hasn't been this close to me.” I watched Miguel smile when she said something funny.“Come on, didn't he recently start opening up to you? You don't have to be jealous. Though she's his sister, you are his wife. You don't have any reason to be envious. Moreover, they invited you over, but you declined.” “Sitting next to the pool is more calming than the garden.” I folded my arms and pretended as if I didn't wish to go over there and sit between them.“She's coming ov
Miguel's POVIt took a promise to top up her account, to get Nikki to apologize to Jewel, and it was worth it. As I sat on the bench, I couldn't help but cast glances at them. The way they whispered as they occasionally glanced towards me, made me smile. Though I know Nikki won't pass out the opportunity to gossip about me, I'm relieved to see the only two females dear to my heart, getting along. My phone dinged with a new notification. “Don't forget the top-up you promised. I've got your wife's forgiveness.” I glanced up at Nikki, who was meaningfully glaring at me. God. How did I get to have a sister like her, who only thinks of money? I bet there is nothing else in that little brain of hers. ****Jewel and Nikki got along quite well. Things were okay with their friendship, but things weren't okay with Jewel and me. Aside from the first night, I slept with her, Jewel had been reluctant to let me into her room. She always found excuse after excuse whenever I tried to come
Jewel's POVHis question put me at a great disadvantage. It made me decide to do something to take his mind off his doubt, and this was what I can think of. A shudder ran through my body as I slowly sank to my knees before him. “Jewel.” He touched my face, “you don't have to do this if you don't want.”“Who told you I don't?” I bit the bottom of my lips. “Unzip your trousers,” I slowly licked my bottom lips. Miguel locked his eyes with mine. “If you don't want to do this, you—” “Will you just shut up!” I snapped at him. “Don't you want me to do this? If you are fed up with me, just tell me. Why waste our time?” I angrily made to rise from my kneeling position, but he placed his hand on my back. "My apologies. I will do as you requested." The sounds of his zip, when he let it down, made me lower my eyes. I let them drift down his body until my eyes alighted on his shaft. It was large, firm, and throbbing, with thick veins running along the shaft between the shiny, purple head
To hide the red mark of his hand around my neck, and the small red Hickeys on my neck, I wore a turtle neck. Though it didn't cover it all, it was enough to cover at least half of it.This way, I won't turn unnecessary heads when I pass people. “Good Morning.” I sat next to Nikki, who was scrolling through her phone. Miguel left for work earlier than usual. He claimed there were things that he needed to take care of at work. “Hmm.” She nodded but didn't look up at me. “Star, is breakfast ready?” I called out to her. "It's almost time for me to leave for class." “Give me ten minutes. I'm still baking your favourites!” She yelled. “Roger that," I placed both hands on the table. “Are you ready for school?” Nikki raised a brow at me. “Hmm.”She kept her phone on the table. “You don't look—”The words froze in her throat when her eyes landed on my covered neck. “Oh, my God!” She yelled. “What's wrong?” I nervously tugged the turtleneck up. Could it be that she has seen the red ma
Miguel's POVI've been avoiding Jewel since last night. Not because I wanted to avoid her. I was only embarrassed that she found out about my ugly kink. This was one of the things I never intended for her to discover, about me. I'm ashamed to look her in the face now. And that's no thanks to my sister, who doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut. All you need to do is wave a wad of cash on her face, and she will tell you the secrets of the entire world. Mind you, she gives out a secret you pay her to keep under wraps, if the person asking for it, pays her higher than you did. She doesn't keep any secrets.“Brother!”The aforementioned she-devil ran after me. “Aren't you having breakfast? Star said she's making your favourite.”I gave her a freezing glare. “Oh, my. Don't give me that look. You don't have to be sad if Jewel refuses to give you some. She is entitled to her body.” She grinned, “but if you need me to talk to her about that, you know what to do.”She made a motion of
Jewel's POV I thought I will meet Miguel during breakfast, but I learned from Nikki, that he left early for work. And that was saying something since I woke up early.Though she claimed he only left because of his work, deep down, I know the reason he did so. He's avoiding me because of last night. If only I had known, I wouldn't have said anything about it. I leaned on the bench under the tree opposite the school's gate, to wait for Star, who was running late because there are things she needed to take care of at school. I would have gone home on my own, but I know Miguel will blow a racket should he get to learn that I went home alone. My phone started ringing, cutting me off from my thoughts. The caller ID caused my heart to skip a beat. It was the same number that called me those nights ago. Without a waste of time, I picked up the call. “I believe you've been trying to connect to me, haven't you?” The man asked. “And why wasn't it possible? Who the hell are you?”The m
“What?” I widened my eyes. “Let's go. She's not worth my time.” Nikki took my hand in hers and turned. “Let's check the other stores. This place isn't worth it if someone like her buys things here.” Before I could so much blink, she dragged me out of the store and headed to the one opposite it. “What's wrong? Why did you drag me out?” I frowned at a scowling Nikki. “That woman there is Pearl. She's your husband's ex-girlfriend.” She said as if that explained the hastiness in her steps.“Hmm.” "Stupid ugly ex!" She murmured under her breath, sounding super pissed. I couldn't help, but compare myself to Miguel's supposed ex-girlfriend.Compared to her, I look like a maid, while she looks like a model. And that made me wonder why Miguel left her. Could it be that she was the one who dumped him?“She's beautiful.” I murmured. “Just like a snake before it bites. She's an ugly bitch who doesn't mind the number of people she takes down if it means she gets to achieve her goals.In th
Miguel's POVI headed into my company and was welcomed with stares from my workers. It was too much, to the point that I noticed it. However, whenever I turned towards them, they turned their faces back to the task they had in hand.I furrowed my brows as I wondered the reason for the odd behaviour. Could it be that something happened in the office, in my absence?I hurried towards my elevator and swiped my card on it. The stares stopped the moment I stepped into the elevator, and it resumed the moment I strode out of it. This time, it was my secretary who had her entire focus on me. “Good morning, boss!” She yelled, with her eyes glued on me. “Hmm.”I chose to ignore her gaze as I strode past her and made to enter my office. “Why are you dressed this way, boss? Is there any problem?” She pursed her lips.From the way her mouth shook, I can tell she was trying not to laugh. “What's wrong with the way I dressed?” I glared at her. After all, she's to be blamed for this. Had sh
