A staff had the courage to come and guide us to the VIP room on the second floor, where Edmund mother and Chelsea were said to be.There is a rectangular table in the middle of the room. I immediately spotted three uniformed waiters. On the far side is a kitchen where a chef and his two assistants are, expertly cooking whatever is served to us."I'm glad you arrived..." said Edmund’s mother.Chelsea's gentle face is formal even when she's smiling. A real sophisticated and fine lady.But my lips parted when I saw the tidy table.At the rectangular glass table, Madame Perla faces each other at the table so if Edmund and I sit, we will also face each other."Mom, what is it?" Edmund asked in alarm.The lady immediately stood up and despite the nervousness I saw on her face, I still saw her immortal smile."Son, calm down... Don't you want me to bond with your wife? Here..." he faced me. "Is mom okay next to you, Lily?"I nodded because there was a threat in his eyes."Um, yes I guess it’
"Where have you been?" Edmund greeted me when I entered the penthouse.I found him sitting comfortably on the soft sofa while I was almost bathed in my own sweat.How can I be irritated the whole time of the flight? I can't speak because I have a pest tape over my mouth. If we don't have to go down, I don't think they will remove it."Ask your guards!" I'm rude."Sir, I'm sorry Miss Lily is mad at us, she doesn't want to come..." said a guy who was in the driver's seat earlier.They know I'm angry?!"She’s a little naughty, aren’t you wife?" Edmund asked, the corner of his lips turned up and a hint of a smile.Just try to smile and I'll make him swallow the big vase on the center table!I stormed up to the second floor where the master's bedroom was after torturing him.I threw my bag on the bed and just took off my shoes to go straight to the bathroom.I think my body temperature is higher than normal.It only went away after a cold shower. Even after cleaning up, I chose to stay in
"Stop this Lily. Let's just eat," Edmund said sternly. I raised an eyebrow at him and moved my body closer to make sure my presence radiated more towards him. "What? Chickening out?" His jaw dropped, he had a lot to say but didn't speak. "Don't you want to know how wet I am right now?" It was supposed to be a joke but he pulled me and gave me a torrid kiss. I tried to push him away but both my arms were locked with his right hand while his left hand was holding my neck. Every movement of his lips was intense causing me to feel hot. He released not only my lips but also his grip on me so that I was almost irritated again. "You're so moody... You're happy and then later on you're like a dragon..." I looked at him hard and raised an eyebrow. "What do you want me to do?" He shook his head and turned me not to hug but to sit on the counter. "What the hell, Edmund- Hmm..." Whatever I was about to say was cut off when he nuzzled his head into my neck. I even tilted my head back
Claire and I were both clueless about what was going on but didn't do anything as we were pulled towards a nearby bar where the music was softer and less crowded."Thank you brother!" said Whiteney and blew a flying kiss to the bouncer with a poker face.We found a table near the dancefloor, so sightseeing among the handsome guys became the target of my companions. He looked for them while I simply checked my phone to see if there was a new message."You've been an idiot for a while..." I said to Nina who was sitting next to me."A-Ah... Just thought of something...""Who did we see on the dancefloor earlier in the other bar! You have liver disease, you're a girl!"Bettina squeezed Nina's arm."Who did you see?""Who else is that... Ah hehe... I haven't forgotten anything," Whiteney suddenly retorted."Who?" I repeat my question.Claire shrugged while Nariza smirked."When you answer why we moved bars, I'll get the next pitcher of mojito for free-"Nariza answered before I finished."
I had a headache when I woke up. The part I hate the most. Can't I just drink without a hangover?Oh shit!I rolled out of bed and breathed a sigh of relief because I was in the penthouse.I thought I would wake up in a random stranger's room again just like the first time. I don't know if I can handle it.I checked my clothes. My white top and skirt are gone, replaced by a pajama suit with green avocado prints.Who brought me home?I glanced at the bedside table and only then remembered the aching head.There was a bowl of steaming soup, medicine and two glasses of water sitting there.I took the note on the food tray.'Eat this and drink the meds for your hangover. I'll be back.'I rolled my eyes coz even the note sounds so bossy.I don't have to think about who wrote it because apart from the familiar clean hand writing, only one person will write it.I started the soup first, which is no wonder I finished. Hello, I feel like I threw up everything I ate last night. My stomach is ch
He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief because of my answer. "Did something happen last night, Nina?" "What happened? What could have happened last night?" I rolled my eyes at her. Obviously, she got my question wrong based on her anxiety and reddened cheeks. What I mean is whether he confessed or beat him because I could clearly see his hatred for Lawrence yesterday. "Anyways, Lily, I'm sorry this is what happened on our first night out after years. I didn't expect it to turn out like that." "It's fine... I wanted to get drunk." His forehead was wrinkled. Concern immediately appeared on his face. "Is there a problem?" "Nothing... I just feel like drinking last night. Taste of freedom," I lied. He let out a breath and grabbed my hand to hold it. "Lily, I can't imagine a life without you. You are the one who is always there for me... So if anything is bothering you, you can comfort me..." I smiled sparingly. Not now, Nina. "I'm fine. You know that Mama has been running my
I went down to cook, but the bodyguards helped me with that, so I let it go. Edmund was still in the bathroom so I just watched TV. I almost choked on my own saliva because suddenly there was a commercial break for a showbiz gossip. Mocha was posing on a large flat screen television. That's an exclusive interview. It looks like he just came from an event but was mobbed by the press. There was a lot of noise around but he only answered one specific question. "Mocha, how true is it that you are dating someone new after calling off your engagement with Mr. Blake Morris?" She stopped walking and smiled slightly at the camera, as if shy. And when did this witch has some shame? Last I knew, if there was anything she lacked it was shame and good manners. "Uhm... I'm dating someone right now," she said simply, causing more questions from the reporters. The bodyguards immediately came to his aid. In the back I saw some security guards. "We want to keep it private because he's a busine
When I was satisfied with the arrangement of the table, I then went up to the room to take a shower and get dressed. I made sure I smelled good and my maroon bodycon dress was tangle-free. I applied light make up and sprayed an expensive perfume just to make sure I look pleasant. "Miss, why are you having a candlelit dinner? Is it your birthday?" I smiled sparingly at a bodyguard before shaking my head. "It's our third wedding monthsary. I just want to relax and celebrate." "Oh, ma'am, we're going to bring out the food. You can just stay here on the balcony." I hummed my thanks and let them return the food to the kitchen to arrange it on the terrace. I texted Edmund about what time he would be home but I didn't receive a reply so maybe he is on his way home. "It's all here, Miss," Roy said like a supervisor checking all the details. He is the one I lit the candles in the penthouse. And of all, he was the most tired. "Get some rest, especially those off duty. I'm fine here...
