21|That Fellow
One guy introduced himself as Lu and led us to the VIP lounge the moment we stepped inside the club.
Nothing has changed with the interior of Cielo. The dancing laser lights and the intoxicated crowd still have the same effect on me. It’s suffocating and warm - too warm. All these sweaty bodies grinding on one another create such a unique whiff.
The seven of us occupied one side of the bar in the lounge. As per his boss’ instruction, Lu personally gave us the said VIP treatment by serving as our bartender.
We all ordered martinis for starters, and Lu keeps cracking jokes that sell to my friends. Even Penny is enjoying his company. I guess this is not such a bad idea after all. However, my mind kept drifting to my fiancé. We’ve consumed a few glasses of alcohol already, and I haven’t seen even a shadow of him. Alex, this one’s for you. Thank you for encouraging me to write more. I really appreciate it. ;) ~ Thank you for voting for X and Zia, loves. It means a lot. Your votes, comments and reviews keep me going. It’s tough times but I’m still here, trying my best… thanks to all of you. xx

“Did you enjoy it?” Xavier followed me out of the club. After that little scene, I created for myself, vile rose from my belly to my mouth. I’ve never been this careless before, and it’s all because of this stupid jealousy when I saw Xavier with his woman. With half-consumed bottled water in my hand, I stood under the lamppost on the curb, waiting for Erik to come and pick me up. I shouldn’t have listened to Penny. I shouldn’t have come here in the first place. Me and clubs, Cielo in particular, will never be a delightful combination. I emptied the content of the water bottle I grabbed from the bar before exiting the building, tossing the container on the bin under the lamppost. It was better to ignore Xavier. I don’t know if he witnessed everything, or he’s just try
Falling For My Husband 23|In The Dark
~Xavier~ Her words sliced through my soul. It’s surprising. For the longest time, I believed I didn’t have one. I have long feared that my dumb brother would destroy everything our father planned for us. And he did. He did not fucking disappoint. I warned him to stop fooling around, respect Zia, and cherish her like I did with Nadia. She’s pure, damn pure, for this life. And if she marries me, she’ll have no escape from the claws of my sins that are bound to follow me in my grave. “Every time you see her,” Lu patted my back, “you always end up emptying a bottle of Jacks.” He rounded the bar in the VIP lounge, drawing a bottle of Corona for himself, taking a seat beside me. Cielo is eerie, a strange but familiar place to
Falling For My Husband 24|Red
~Xavier~ Zia stands out in the sea of people consumed by love and hunger for money, power, and greed. So pure and innocent. The red ball gown did little justice to her perfect curves. The dress has a typical design, honestly. Threadlike strap, plunging V neckline, and I’m well aware of the hidden zipper of that dress. Whatever Zia wears - I realized - my mind will always strip her naked. The sight of her never fails to turn me on. Like a fucking pervert, my head keeps drifting on how she would look wearing nothing. How her legs, hidden under that full length ball skirt - would feel wrapped around my waist while I submerge myself in her undoubtedly tight cunt. I wonder how it would feel to envelop her perky nipples with m
Falling For My Husband 25|Feel Me
~Zia~ The sight of men carrying guns around is nothing new to me. Apart from Erik, we have hundreds of security personnel working in the mansion who look as if they’re always ready to protect our place from an uprising. Dad personally saw to it that Nadia and I knew how to defend ourselves. We trained in self-defense, handling guns growing up - even if we hated it. The sight of Xavier pointing a gun at Roman’s head didn’t bother me at all. What surprised me is the anger painted on his face. Honestly, he has no right to be mad at me if I sleep with someone else! “Where the fuck do you think you’re going?” His hand shot up, grabbing my forearm before I could skirt around him out of the billiard hall. Blazing forest-green h
Falling For My Husband 26|Nice and Sweet
~Zia~ Xavier’s lips tasted so sweet. No, he tastes sweeter than before. I moaned when his fingers sewed into my hair, fisting my locks and ruining my updo in the process. A pair of rough, warm palms clasping my face, angling my mouth to gain better access, devouring my lips. His wonderful warm tongue seamed my lower lip, teasing me to let him. In my head, I’m still asking myself if this is the right thing to do. Thoughts of the rejection he did to me eight months ago still hangs above my head. ‘What ifs’ are refraining me from giving in even if my body is already celebrating his touch. A deep growl resonated from his throat when I kept my resistance up. My hand remained closed on my side, but his hands were busy working on me. He let go of my face; one glided around
Falling For My Husband 27|Consumed by Desire
~Zia~ “Give it back, X,” I hissed while I kept tugging on his suit jacket like a child asking for ice cream. He merely chuckled, shaking his head, enjoying this torture he’s putting me through. The sound of the gathering is getting clearer. Panic rose through my chest at realizing the seriousness of this situation I was in. This man’s determination about keeping my underwear is disturbing! He’ll put me in a compromising position, for fuck’s sake. I’m so exposed down there - not to mention - sensitive, wet, and still throbbing. “X…” I pleaded, trying hard to keep up with his long strides. “Please-” “Where did you two go?” Seeing Mom’s anxious face drizzled a cold shower over my features.
Falling For My Husband 28|Wedding Jitters
~Zia~ Since I was sixteen, I’ve looked forward to the day that I’ll get married to Calvin. I designed this wedding dress a week after I learned of our betrothal. That’s how excited I was. It’s a mirage of color between white champagne and nude fabric. Mom’s friend, Sylvia Marino, a well-known fashion designer, made this for me. She turned my messy design to captivate both a luxurious and bohemian vibe. Sylvia accentuated the V-neckline with handmade pleats and embroidered lace appliqué that trails from the bodice, straps to the keyhole back detail. The A-line ball gown skirt also bears the exact delicate details and forms an extravagant chapel length train. This was the only detail in my wedding that was purely my idea. Mom and Francine took care of everything apart from my dress, but a lot of things have changed
Falling For My Husband 29|From This Day
~Zia~ Xavier’s gesture baffled me. All I could do was gape at his back, headed to where Calvin was. My eyelids fluttered fast as if I had discomfort believing what’s happening today. Calvin lifted the beer to his lips, eyes passing glance at me and back to Xavier. I chewed on my lip, watching from afar as Xavier spoke to Calvin. It seems like they’re only having a brother-to-brother conversation from where I sat until Calvin shook his head. My hand gripped the edge of my seat when Xavier wrapped his arms around Calvin’s shoulder, pulling him away from the small crowd of guests. “Shit,” I hissed, standing on my feet. We held the reception at Francine’s newly purchased hotel and resort. From the direction Xavier took, they
