One Night with a Stranger Chapter 20: Indecent Proposal
-=Yesha's Point of View=-My mom scolded me nonstop when I stepped foot in our house, and here I thought Xavier had actually made arrangements for my family not to worry."Yes, I know you're already of legal age, but would it kill you to let us know that you won't be able to return home? Do you realize how worried I was that something bad would happen to you? Even your half-brother was worried."She kept ranting, so I had no choice but to wait for her to finish; after all, I couldn't blame her after I'd been gone for so long, and there was no way I could tell her where I'd been or what had happened while I was gone.What would she think if I told her? "Sorry, mom; my handsome boss kidnaped me because he wanted me to be his woman; he took me to this incredible place where there was a hidden pond where we had sex and where I eventually decided to be his woman."My mother would skin me alive if I told her that, so all I could do was listen to her tirade, which probably went about an hour
One Night with a Stranger Chapter 21: The Confession
-=Yesha's Point of View=-I couldn't stop cussing because of how Xavier made me feel; I'm so angry right now that I don't know how to get it out of my system.I still can't believe he'd do such things; I get it, he's wealthy, but he didn't even consider how I'd react? Is he under the impression that I am a girl who enjoys being showered with material things?Because of what happened, I began to wonder if I had made a mistake in agreeing to be his woman; I felt so cheap, just like those bimbos.Instead of going home, I chose to go see Julia; I needed someone to talk to, and she was the only one who could understand me; after all, no one knew about the agreement I made with Xavier, and she was the only one I could confide in."Is Julia at home, Uncle Gerry?" I asked as soon as I saw Julia's father watering the plants in their front yard."Sorry, Yesha, but Julia is on a medical mission in Samar. Didn't she tell you about it?" He asked, and I remembered Julia's text about his out-of-tow
One Night with a Stranger Chapter 22: The Contract
-=Yesha's Point of View=-"The negotiation isn't going well; the other party is playing hardball," Xavier stated as my head rested on top of his muscled chest.We had just finished making love and were now recuperating, possibly in preparation for another round of passionate lovemaking.Friday night, and because there was no work the next day, I decided to spend the night with him; we couldn't help but talk about work, especially since I noticed something was bothering him, and I was right in my guess that it was something to do with the contract."I've been working my rear off for this contract for about a month now, and the other company is being a pain in the ass even though I already gave them the best offer any company can give them," he added, and I could hear the frustration in his voice.I just sat there listening to him, my head still on his chest, listening to his heartbeat."What I don't understand is that I have the impression that someone is purposefully making it difficu
One Night with a Stranger Chapter 23: The Models
-=Yesha's Point of View=-We finally left the hotel, and he dragged me to his car, which was parked at the hotel's entrance.I didn't dare to tell him about my motorcycle, so I sat in the passenger seat while he took the wheel.He kept his mouth shut as he started the motor, and even though we were already on the road, The silence between us is killing me; even though he isn't saying anything, I can feel the rage pouring from his body and how his body trembles.I can't blame him if he was upset with me, but I hope he knows that I did it for his sake; after all, I wasn't expecting anything in return.But how could I explain to him that I agreed to Alex's demand because I wanted to help him, and I wanted to help him because I love him?After fifteen minutes had gone with no word from Xavier, I decided to break the silence."I..." I was about to apologize when he abruptly cut me off."I'm not sure what made you agree to that, but I want you to promise me that you would never do anything
One Night with a Stranger Chapter 24: The Bitch Half-Sister
-=Yesha's Point of View=-A horrible thought was running through my head right now, especially after I noticed Dustin's strange reaction while looking at Jessica; it made me think that maybe Jessica is my half-sister, and I was about to confirm it with Dustin when another unexpected visitor arrived, further complicating this chaotic situation."You wouldn't believe the people who live in this neighborhood, Jessica; they're simply so impossible."I quickly looked in Andrea's way when I heard that familiar, irritating voice.She was Jessica's friend, the female model who kept staring at me as if I were the world's biggest eyesore.Jessica just shrugged her shoulders and didn't say anything after hearing Andrea's statement."Hi, Dustin, it's been a long time," Andrea remarked, her gaze fixed on Dustin.I noticed how the colors on Dustin's face drained as he saw the newcomer, and I could see the dread in his eyes.With the rapid turn of events and Dustin's reaction, I grew increasingly co
One Night with a Stranger Chapter 25: My Parents
-=Yesha's Point of View=-Dustin's statement helped me understand him even more; it's no surprise that he grew close to my mother and me because it was the only time he felt like he was part of a true family.Living in a house void of love must be torturous for Dustin; even though I haven't had a love of a father, my mother made sure that I didn't lack in love; she never failed to show me how much she loved me, and I make sure that I also show her how much I love her.Maggie had a confused expression on her face, and I could tell she was struggling, but after a few moments of hesitation, she ultimately departed with Jessica; before she left, she looked at Dustin again, and I could see the sadness in her eyes.We watched as Maggie and Jessica walked away, and we kept staring behind them until we couldn't see them anymore.Dustin shed a tear from his left eye, which he quickly wiped away with his hand; after today, my love for Dustin, my loveable bisexual and complicated half-brother, h
One Night with a Stranger Chapter 26: Together Again
-=Yesha's Point of View=-I am happy for my mom; she has finally been reunited with her true love. However, I only have one concern.My dad wanted us to follow him to the United Kingdom, where he hoped to start our family.I love my mom and support anything that will make her happy. As much as I hate being apart from my mom, I have no plans to leave the country permanently, and I don't suppose Dustin is ready to return to the UK."I'm truly happy for both of you, but I don't see myself leaving the Philippines for good; I have a career here, and I couldn't possibly abandon it just like that," I stated firmly.They chose to talk to me after learning of my decision to stay in the Philippines from Dustin. I'm sure my mother persuaded my father to do so."You don't have to be worried, Yesha; there are plenty of better opportunities in the UK. I could place you in one of the largest advertising agencies in the country, or you could start your own," he suggested casually."I said no," I repl
One Night with a Stranger Special Chapter
-=Angie's Point of View=-"Do you really think you could get away with messing my chance of finding a foreigner husband, Yesha? Better think again, my friend," I said while going to Yesha's room.I managed to get a duplicate room key for her room when I acted that I was supposed to be sharing a room with her and told the receptionist that I had lost my key card, and since the receptionist saw me with Yesha, she believed my lie.My heart was pounding in my chest while I continued walking. I was afraid that I might get caught. I was about to turn around when I suddenly remembered the missed opportunity of having a handsome foreigner husband.I mean, I was almost there; I convinced Phillip that we were meant for each other, and he had already promised to bring me to the US so we could get married, but because of Yesha's revenge, that would never happen.I knew I had done her wrong when I decided not to wake her up when we had already arrived, but that was just a joke, so she shouldn't br
