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...
I arrived safely at the mall with Roy alone. Edmund was speechless. I also turned off my cell phone so that no one could contact me. Nina and I talked about meeting at a restaurant inside the mall so I went straight there, of course Roy was a tail. "Hey!" From the menu, I looked up at Nina who looked intrigued. "Do you have any help?" he asked and pushed Roy to the other table not far from us. "Leave it alone, what are we going to eat?" When our food arrived, only then did I remember that my stomach was empty since dinner. "Are you hungry Edmund?" I just grinned at Nina and looked back at the food, why didn't I eat last night? "How are you and Lawrence," I tried to open another topic while we ate dessert. "Usual..." "What is usual?" He bent down and stirred the multilayered ice cream. "He's with someone else I think..." "But... He picked you up last-" What I was going to say hung in the air when I heard her soft sobs. "Mommy just ordered him, Lily... He doesn't really w
I put the cellphone aside and continued to shower. It took me a while because there was only a little bit of shampoo left. Good and I found something in the cabinet.After getting ready, I lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling."Dad?" I said weakly when I saw Dad at the foot of my bed.I got up to hug him but immediately backed away when his eyes suddenly lit up."Why are you here?""You are absolutely worthless! What are your grades?" he yelled at me.I immediately felt a tremor in my chest when I remembered one of my majors that was not the highest grade. Everything passed, but my parents can't just pass.I was so nervous."I'll do better next time-""No more next! Don't study!"The strength of his voice made my brain more confused. I don't know how to explain that our laboratory exam is difficult so my grades are not that high.I didn't do well in the microscopic research that was our biology exam because it was at the same time as other subjects, but like our teacher, my mother
"So, Kendrick what do you say marshmallows that are hard?" I asked him seriously even though I was holding back my laughter. We are about to finish eating. I only had float and fries in front of me and hers had pasta. After the rice meal, we still managed to eat, so we had an early lunch, and it was time for lunch. He frowned, looking clueless as to what I was saying. This man! He forgot immediately. "What?" "Pft... No hard mallows!" I exclaimed then started laughing my ass off. I laughed not because of the joke but because of his very epic face. The poor man got it bad. He was confused for a long time before nodding his head which made my laughter even more intense. "Okay Lily. What do you call a skinny cat?" said brother. I stopped laughing, curious about his question. "What?" "A cat on diet," he said accompanied by a cute smile. I winced before laughing. Hell! I was gasping for air when he spoke up again. "What's the cute ship called?" I raised my eyebrows. My grin c
I was in a state of panic when he leaned more to kiss me. At first it was shallow, just meant to tease me but after some time he became aggressive.I groaned when he stopped and moved slightly away from me.I shot him a surprised look but he just grinned."Take a bath," the brute said simply.I raised my eyebrows but immediately followed his wishes. I will never give up.I slowly stood up so the wine in my long hair immediately flowed through my body.From my peripheral vision I saw him gulping.Do you want it? I will give you a good show.I turned to him and pretended not to notice his sticky gaze on my body."Just stay here, watch me." I ordered.I secretly smirked even more and he stared at me specifically at my chest.I stood up straight and left the bathtub completely. I instructed him to drain it. I don't even know if he heard because he was just stunned by me.Next I grabbed the shower because I might get bitten by ants. I didn't bother to close the shower curtain.Shower gel i
They are right, time flies so fast when you're happy. I almost didn't realize it for a week because of Edmund various tricks.Even he's busy working, he can still make time for me. He still comes home every afternoon so we can have lunch together and in the evening we go out.Yesterday, we watched an orchestra. He got us a VVIP ticket. We had a chance to join their victory party but I was too tired and sleepy, add that he has work the next day."Good evening ma'am," Roy greeted with a smile.He was wearing a uniform and standing straight by the stairs. Unlike before, he is more casual now. Not too intimidating and formal.However the man beside him is the exact opposite. He has a darker aura despite the smirk plastered on his face.I gave them a slight smile before heading to where my husband was standing.He stared at me and never once took his eyes off me. He was staring at me as if wandering into the depths of my soul."Shall we?" Edmund asked in a hoarse tone.I nodded and accep
Life is such a mess, and shit things happen almost every time.We are sleeping in the same room but I felt like there's a wall between us. We are often together but he seems far away. Or maybe, it was just me. Because no matter how hard I tried. I can't act nor think the same.I distanced myself from him and I don't know if he was numb or just kept quiet because he didn't complain about anything. Or maybe it's more favorable to him that while the six months are not over, I'm getting ready to move away.I wonder if he even noticed that.I ruffled my hair and almost jumped out of bed.I put on slippers and slowly left the room.When I glanced at the clock I realized it was almost midnight. Edmund said goodbye that he will be home late today so I planned to go to bed early.Right. Planned. It didn't work either.The light dimmed as I went down the stairs. The cold air from the AC is giving me chills that's why I adjusted the silk robe that was on top of my nighties."But son, you have to
