I lost the courage to face every challenge that our relationship would face. I have in mind what happened the other day. I heard my phone make a sudden beep that's why I looked to see who texted. It's him. It's good to read his message encouraging me to be strong enough to conquer the fear I have. He motivates me that after the trials that our relationship encountered, we will be experiencing the fruit that perseverance and believing in love may bring to us. "You're smiling now? It doesn't seem like you were in that mood last time, Veronne. What happened? Are you and Mister Zillionaire settled what's going on between your relationship?"I put the phone in my bag after reading his text. I stared at Mitch and nodded softly. "Yes," I answered her briefly. "That's why your smile is wide! You know, I made the right decision to call him the night you got drunk. I know he's your sedative."My friend was right that when I was attacked by fear and dread, that man was all I needed to bring m
"Congratulations," he said, gently writing a slanting line down my face using the front of his thumb. His gaze was deep in my eyes and I thought he surpassed the proud parent because his child is graduating after a few hours."I am very grateful because I am with you today.""Veronne, I'm sorry."“I understand, Marcov. You don't even need to apologize. Don't worry, I pray that the day will come when both of us will be free, and we can expose our relationship to the public."At first I knew that he wanted to introduce me to people. What he's telling me is that he doesn't care what others say. I understand him now because his uncle suddenly interjected, and said that he wanted him to marry another woman to save their ass. "I was the one telling you before that we shouldn't be afraid of people, but I'm the one telling you now that I hope you understand the situation first."“Marcov, I believe we can handle this situation. I will give you enough time.”"I promise that I will find anothe
"Marcov, why are you making my eyes wet every time that we are together?"Another romantic date is happening right now. He must be telling the truth about us, collecting romantic moments together."Baby, I'm not poking your eyes," he teased me. The two of us were here above the yacht while the lights around it were reflected on the surface of the sea. I thought earlier that he would sleep with me in the same room and on top of the bed in the condominium. Well it's not. He invited me to fulfill our decision to go on a date on the yacht. The two of us were leaning on the soft cushion. We were both holding wine glasses. He told me that this was his favorite yacht of all the ones he bought. Again, I am amused of hir wealth."Aren't they going to look for you there at your house?""They were still having fun there. Kalvis is with your other classmates and his best friends. I did my part in his party already.""Your son will be surprised again because you suddenly disappeared."He shook
I called Mitch to meet me three days later during my yacht date with Marcov. The two of us were in a coffee shop, talking about how we miss our school days even though only a few days had passed since our graduation ended. "So what's your decision again? Did you say yes to him?” she asked me after I shared to her the things that we and Marcov agreed."As if I had a choice.""You have a choice, Veronne. Say you don't want Marcov's secretaryship to go to someone else. You're becoming a jealous girlfriend now."I rest my case. I sip from my cup. "You can't speak? What I said is true, isn't it? You're not like that before. You weren't jealous before, Veronne. Don't you want someone else to call him baby?"My cheeks reddened because of what she said. She really got me. "Anyone would probably be jealous, Mitch. I don't believe there are girlfriends or boyfriends who aren't jealous. How about you, Mitch? Don't you get jealous when other women are around your boyfriend?”"Hmmm. I will kill
My eyes were staring straight at the god who was aggressively taking off his clothes. His body is revealed now. I asked myself. Is it true that this man is forty-five years old? His body is built well as a school athlete. "What's with that stare, baby?"I grabbed the end of the bed when he suddenly bent down and stared at me. His gaze is devouring me again. His fresh and candy-like breath is pulling me to land my kisses on his soft-rosy lips. We are now kissing each other and it creates a harmonious moaning inside the roomI don't want to talk while we are giving pleasure to each other. My eyes widened at what he did. He didn't even take off the dress I was wearing properly, instead he tore it off my body. “Marcov—”"Shh, baby. Don't talk unless I'm telling you, okay?”“But my dress—”"I can buy you a whole store that is filled with branded dresses, baby. Don't complain about what I do. You made me want to do this to you so complain not.""Well, if you say so."I closed my eyes wh
A few weeks have passed, now I'm on my way to Greyford Empire through my new Mercedes from Marcov. I learned to drive easily. Now I have mastered how to drive it. I picked up my phone and answered the call when it suddenly rang. I am quite nervous because I am still driving. I told him not to call me while I was driving because I suddenly got nervous but he didn't believe me. "Marcov, I'm still driving.""Baby, I'm going to be late to come to the office. Micah is there to guide you and teach you what to do."This is my first day as his secretary. I'm knowledgeable about things, I learn quickly but I can't help being nervous. Greyford Empire is not just a lower class company. This is the most famous company in the entire country and in other countries. And imagine, I am Marcov's secretary. As well-known as he is and as well-respected as his name is, I should be able to work quality as well. “Marcov, can I do this? I'm really nervous," I told him. "Because?""Marcov, I'm nervous be
"Here's the folder," he said without looking at me.. I checked every paper again and saw that there was one paper that needed his signature. “Kalvis — Sir Kalvis, there is a paper that has not been signed. I guess you forgot to sign it."He looked at me with an unpleasant stare. He seemed to be upset. "Veronica, just come back here, later. Come back here later because I have something else to do. Something that is more important than that.”I frowned because of what he said. Why does he have to send me back here when he can sign right now. "Sir, maybe you can just sign it now. It won't take a minute to sign it."He stood up. He leaned on the table and took a deep breath. He came out from the middle of his table and swivel chair to come near me.I bowed so that I could not look into his eyes trying to destroy the piece of strength that I have this morning. "Look at me," he ordered me. I bit the inside of my lower lip while slowly staring at him. “Sir?”"In our lives, there are t
-Marcov-I felt like the sky had fallen on me when I heard Kalvis' voice. "Son?!"I looked back at Veronne and she was restless because Kalvis was staring at her intently. "Dad?! You know what? You are really getting worse!”My heart was beating faster and faster. I'm frightened that Kalvis might shout here and maybe someone might hear us. "Kalvis, don't make a scene here. Please, son?”The right side of his lips lifted while his eyes were looking at me like a tiger that is ready to tear his target. I raised him by myself but it feels like I don't know him anymore. "Your face is thick, dad. Telling me that seemed to be out of the supposed script. Am I really making a scene here? Me, dad? Really?”“Kalvis—”I saw how Veronne was shocked when Kalvis pointed at her, causing her to tremble. "Do not interfere with our conversation, woman. You are not part of this family! You better shut up if you don't want me to hurt your sensitive heart again!""Kalvis, I said, don't make a scene he
