Chapter 25She shuts her eyes tightly as she throws her head away in embarrassment. Her heart beats rapidly against her chest as she curses under her breath, blaming herself for being such a talkative. Maybe he wouldn't have heard that if she had talked less, but no, she had to blab until he heard her. Gulping down the lump that formed in her throat, she raises her gaze to see the smirk dancing on his lips while having his hands inside his pockets, and her heart sinks into her stomach as she stares at those pair of innocent-looking eyes. She tries so hard to maintain a straight face and act like she's not drawn in by this man's charming eyes. "Maybe you heard wrong. I didn't say anything like that," She shrugs while praying silently that he believes her. She would be screwed if he doesn't believe her. Studying his facial expression for a few seconds, she almost runs out of her mind, seeing the blank expression on his face. "I'm really saying the truth, Ren. Why would I say those di
Chapter 26"Do you want us to bathe together?" He asks as Alicia stands up from the bed a few minutes later, holding the duvet to her body, and looking everywhere else except his direction. Her cheeks flush in embarrassment each time she thinks of what happened. She can't believe that she had sex with Ren. She fucking slept with this young man, how the hell is she going to face him later? Fuck! "No," She quickly replies to him, before she scurries into the bathroom, while he chuckles softly and rolls his eyes. Standing up from the bed, he picks his shorts from the floor and wears them. Grabbing his robe, he wears it and picks up his phone from the bedside table, exiting the room afterward. Of course, he knows she would be embarrassed, so giving her some time alone would be a good idea. Minutes laterStepping out of the bathroom, she heaves a sigh of relief when she sees that her crazy husband is not in the room. "Fuck, Alicia!" She groans as she slumps on the bed while having the t
Chapter 27"We're watching a movie tonight, according to our schedule," Ren announces, as he arranges his shirts he washed moments ago, glancing at Alicia who's laying on the bed, and having all her attention on her phone. "I'm not interested," She rolls her eyes at him, not taking her eyes off her phone. Thinking about what he said to her earlier is still annoying, but she can only be stuck with her phone, so she can get those ugly words off her mind. Who the hell does he think he is? Telling her that he's just being like that because he's learning to get married later. That's the most annoying thing anyone has ever said to her. "Come on, Alicia. You are..." "Don't push it, Ren. I told you that I'm not interested!" She snaps at him, finally throwing her phone on the bed angrily as she sits up on the bed. If the phone is not so important to her, she wouldn't have minded smashing it on the wall, due to the way she's so pissed right now. "Come on, don't be like that. Are you OK? Why
Chapter 28"Fine! Let's go clubbing tonight," She finally suggests, and his face beams with excitement. "Yeah, club. That'll be a better place, you know?" He smiles excitedly and winks at her. "Whatever! Can we go before I have a change of mind again?" She smirks at him, and he quickly ignites the car engine. "I'm on it already," He says before he zooms off. The drive to the club was quite relaxing, and the gentle night breeze makes it even more relaxing. After thirty minutes of driving endlessly, they finally arrive at the clubhouse. "Have you been here before? How did you know this place?" She questions, as they both step out of the car, and walk side by side to the entrance door of the clubhouse. "That's why we have Google map," He rolls his eyes, and she scoffs unbelievably. The smell of alcohol and buzzing music welcomes them as they both step into the rowdy clubhouse. The place is quite dark with dim lights everywhere, making it almost impossible to see the faces of the
Chapter 29 "Kevin!" She squeaks excitedly, as she stands up to her feet, and hugs the tall man that just walked up to them. "It has been a while, Alicia. Look at you. You're looking so gorgeous. You've grown so big," The Kevin guy says, checking her out. "And you too. You're so handsome, like more handsome than before," Hearing her compliment another man in front of him, he slowly grits his teeth and tightens his hand on his thigh as he glares into space. He shouldn't be angry, but he can't help it. Why the fuck would she be so comfortable with another man, huh? He just fucking told her to stop talking to another man before they left home earlier, how can she be so inconsiderate? "Are you in love with her?" His subconscious mind asks him, and he scoffs. Hell no! He can't possibly be in love with her, right? She's older than him for fuck sake, how can he be in love with her? "I'm just angry that he doesn't respect me enough," He assures himself, trying so hard to be calm and handl
Chapter 30Tears stream down her cheeks as she stands on the balcony of their suite, staring at the picture in her locket. "Where are you, Felix?" She shuts her eyes and throws her head back as more tears stream down her cheeks. It's not the memories that hurt, but the fact that she still so much loved him even after everything that happened between them, the fact that she still can't get over him, no matter how much she tried to, over the years."Are you thinking of me too?" She whispers, even though she knows that there's no possibility of him missing her. He would've reached out to her if he missed her, right? 'If you want to get over Felix, you have to do something that'll get him off your mind. Maybe getting involved with another man' recalling what Lilian told her some years ago, she sighs briefly. Where the hell is she supposed to start? "Are you OK?" Hearing Ren's voice behind her, she quickly locks the locket and hides it beneath her dress as she turns to see him walking o
Chapter 31Next morning at Ren's suite... The early morning sunlight shines brightly and penetrates the room from the window, blinding Alicia's eyes as soon as she forces them open. Waiting to get used to the brightness, she finally forces her eyes open minutes later and stares up at the ceiling. Looking to the side of the bed, she sighs briefly when she doesn't get a glimpse of Ren. "Where is he?" She mumbles, sitting up on the bed and running her fingers through her hair tiredly. "Shit!" She curses under her breath when she recalls the incident of the previous day, and sighs briefly. Their day was ruined yesterday, all thanks to Emily that had to show up. For some seconds, she stop to think about her action yesterday. Why the hell was she so outrageous? Not that she's in love with him, so why the hell was she so pissed that he was talking with another woman? Still lost in thoughts, the bathroom door suddenly opens, and Ren walks into the room with just a white towel wrapping ar
Chapter 32After a round of hot sex in the morning, he falls flat beside her on the bed, both breathing hard as they stare up at the ceiling. That was the first fucking mind-blowing sex they ever had. "Why did you do that?" He suddenly asks, causing her to glance at him in confusion, wondering what he's talking about. "Yesterday at the cinema..." He says to clarify her confusion, and she bites her bottom lip, returning her gaze to the ceiling. How the hell is she supposed to tell him that she was angered because he was talking to another woman? That is crazy, right? "Nothing, I was just having mood swings," She shrugs, even though it's obvious that she's lying now. An awkward silence assumes the air afterward, as too many thoughts parade through her mind. Why the hell is she getting too comfortable with this man? Why's she attached to him, that she can't even resist this urge to always have him? What the hell is this dude doing to her for fuck's sake? "Where are we going today?"
