Music was playing from a loudspeaker that was big enough and hooked up by someone's iPod; I don't know who it might be, Rani or Caroline, Westlife's More Than Words sounded. My father and mother-in-law seemed to be dancing. I smiled at the couple, who were no longer young, but I could feel the love radiating from both of them. Rani dances with Sean. They are having a serious conversation. I want to know; my Inner Goddess looks at me with a rebuking look, my senses stomping their feet in disapproval; my curious mode is here. Benjamin dispelled my gaze and looked at Sean and Rani, his sweet smile distracting me. I smiled back."Dance with me, Ana." He held out his hand, and I had a moment of deja vu; we used to practice the choreography together. I accepted his outstretched hand, and he led me slightly to the center of the room, joining the other dancing couples. We talked about the funniest things we had together during choreography practice with other dancers. I laughed when Benjamin
I inhaled the aroma I liked; we were silent for a while.“I saw the dancer steal the opportunity when Rani and I were dancing.”I know where this is going. We’re going to talk about Benjamin again.“You danced with Rani, I didn’t have any dance buddies and Benjamin asked me.”“I won’t let that happen again.”I rolled my eyes, hearing his possessive attitude; how long would he be jealous of all the men approaching me??! After all, Benjamin would never get the chance.“When are you going to stop acting like this??”“I know what he wants Ariana, he still wants you even though you’re mine.”Our conversation stopped when the car pulled up in the basement; Sam opened the door where Sean sat, and I came out after him. No one spoke in the elevator until we entered the room; Sean took off his coat. Does that mean I won’t meet Benjamin??“Does that mean I’m not allowed to meet Benjamin?” I want to make sure. I looked at Sean, who was unbuttoning his linen shirt. His movements stopped when he wa
I was surprised when someone opened the door to my office violently; I recognized Sean when the man said my name."Damn! Ana, what happened?? Where is Atika?? Did she hurt you??"I didn't answer all these questions. I just cried; when Sean was about to hug me, I kept away from him."Just go! I need to be alone," I shooed away without seeing his face. I wiped the tears on my face roughly; why is he here??"I'm worried about you," he answered my thoughts. I didn't move where I was. We were silent for a while. My mind is messed up; all of this makes my head feel like it's about to explode."Ana, say something." Sean broke the silence between us. I didn't know what to say. My heart aches, and my mind is complete; my finger touches our wedding ring, my gaze falls on it, and spins it around my finger. Should I give up?? It hurts to think about it when I'm in a state of love and have to choose to let go, NO!! My Inner Goddess snapped with my senses; what was I thinking?? He needs me he loves
I pushed the door that was not closed tightly; he seemed to be sitting in his work chair with a laptop perched. Sean massaged the area between his forehead, and while closing his eyes, he looked frantic. I walked over to him, and he felt my presence; he looked at me and smiled back at me.“Dinner’s ready; I hope you don’t mind eating tom yam,” I tell him. He laughs weakly and then tells me to sit on his lap. I looked at his laptop, which showed an email, I read it, and it was from Atika.“I wonder what that woman wants, why can’t she let you go?”I don’t want to mince words; maybe this is a good time to discuss the woman.“I decided to end my partnership with her, in exchange for the business we have been running together.”I furrowed my brow. Business?? What kind of business??“What kind of business??” I can’t contain my curiosity.“A resort in Bali, at first we managed the place together, but it looks like she needs money, and I think she has been disturbing my life enough for so lo
Caroline called me and complained about my absence from the preparations for her wedding. I apologized, but she sounded forced to forgive me; I laughed at her desperate hope I could meet her on Saturday. I rushed to take a warm bath after listening to the long complaint of the queen, who wanted to know everything. I looked at my face in the mirror, and Ariel's unpleasant smile flashed through my mind. I should heed Sean's warning about the guy, put the thought of Ariel out of my mind, and then get out of the bathroom. Sean had been locked in his study for a long time. I rushed to him but stopped before his workspace door when he heard someone calling. My surveillance instincts took over."What?? ...Listen to me carefully, if he ever bothers my wife I will fire you all! Keep an eye on that man and don't let him come near Ariana, if he misbehaves, I will teach him a lesson myself."Can he do that on Orchid HSM?? I was taken aback, so I worked up the courage to knock after ensuring he wa
I was stunned and slapped again because I forgot that was true. A few days ago, the chief of police who investigated our case said that the incident was not accidental. I bit my lower lip because of the guilt that overcame me. I looked at Sean with a look trying to understand, and he caressed my cheek using the back of his fingers. I took his fingers that were caressing me, kissing his palm, then pressing it against my cheek. I leaned on his hand.“I’ll try not to worry you,” I said earnestly, and I saw relief in his golden nets; then he took his hand and lay on my lap. I stroked his hair and played with my fingers. His eyes closed, enjoying my touch on his head, which turned to wringing, and he pulled his hair gently, massaging it in slow motions.“Sunday is Caroline’s wedding, you haven’t forgotten, have you?!”“Of course not, Rani and mom repeatedly remind me via what’s up messages, I don’t know what’s wrong with women and celebrations, they are like deptcollectors when they are pr
My hands were busy tidying up my things on the table when Ariel came and stood in the doorway of my room. My attention was drawn to him; he smiled with an unpleasant smile, whether it was because the current atmosphere was fairly quiet and a little tense. After all, there were only the two of us, or because Ariel does have that kind of smile, I don't know, but I smiled politely back at him. The man stepped in without me asking and closed the door. He came up to me and stood right in front of me. My heart was pounding uncomfortably, and my mind was sounding the alarm. What does this man want?? What's with him?? He came over to me and stood right in front of me."Hello Ariana, you look like you always do."Ariel was trying to tug a few strands of my hair behind my ear when I reflexively avoided his hand; his eyes showed surprise, and his expression looked hurt because I avoided him. The next second, he smiled like a moment ago. I feel uncomfortable with this situation. We are alone in t
He spoke against my neck, so his breath brushed against my neck, the fine hair around his jaw scraping it against mine. It hurt a little because he had shaved a week ago, but I liked the sensation. He moved his body a little away from me, and then his hand moved to the hook of my skirt at the back. My body opened it and pulled the thing down so that it fell on my feet. I stepped out of the item and then turned towards him.My lips attacked his lips again when my shirt left my body. Sean squeezed my ass, and a knock on the door stopped our hot kiss. Sean looked annoyed because of this disturbance. He approached the door and then opened it like he wanted to remove the door from its place; maybe it was Sam. A few minutes later, Sean came back and approached me after closing the door; I stood with my hands folded under my breasts.“What is it??”He seemed to be thinking about something. Sean removed his shirt, walked over to me, and threw it on the floor.“The boy has become a fugitive fr
