Marcus was disoriented when he woke up in a strange room. He tried to get up but he couldn’t move.
What was wrong with him?
He looked around but all he could see was the white ceiling and the chandelier. On his left, he could see something white, and it was the same on his right side.
A pet cone?
Marcus was horrified to realize that someone had the nerve to put a pet cone on him.
“Look here,” Daniella showed Marcus the photos that she took earlier and couldn’t stop laughing at his dreadful appearance. She knew she was being a bully to Marcus but he started it first.
With the shrink wrap all over his body, he looked like a fresh spring roll or even a mummy. Of course, the pet cone looked cute on dogs, but for Marcus, he was not cute but funny to look at.
“Dani! What did you do to me?”
Marcus shouted as soon as he found out what she did to his body that he looked like a mummy, wrapped in white and couldn’t move. Then he remembered that moment when something hard hit him.
“What do you want from me?” Marcus clenched his jaw and gritted his teeth as he waited for her answer.
“I want your baby,” Daniella answered.
“What? Are you crazy?” his voice roared inside the hotel room when he heard her answer. But then, she could be only joking. “You’re kidding, right?”
“Do I look like I’m joking? Why do you think so, Marcus?”
Marcus concluded that Daniella Reyes was a lunatic. What a waste, the woman was beautiful and sexy, and she looked smart too.
“There’s no need to tie me like this if you only wanted to have sex with me. I can make it more fun and pleasant for you, Dani. Untie me this instant!” He ordered and tried to convince her.
Her state of mind must be the reason why their agency was hired to look after her. How many detectives were ruined under Daniella’s hands? He wondered and sighed.
“I don’t need it to be pleasant, Marcus. I like you and you look perfect to be my child’s father,” she added.
“If you want me so much, you should have agreed to do it with me when I asked you nicely,” he reminded her about their phone conversation.
“Nicely? Was it done nicely? You mocked me that time, Marcus! You were a horny beast who had to do so loud while knowing I could hear you!”
“Still, you don’t have the right to do this to me, Dani. Do you really believe you will get out of this unscathed? You better think again, Miss Reyes. You don’t know me well enough to treat me this way!”
“Then, why don’t you tell me everything about you right now, Marcus?”
“Oh God, you really are crazy! Look, just let me go now, and I will help you find a man; someone who is more handsome than me,” he bargained with her.
“Mmmm, nice idea, but I am running out of time. We have to do it as soon as possible,” she stated.
“I can’t believe you are doing this to me! I was being nice to you, Dani.”
“Oh really? I don’t think so, Marcus. You acted nice because you wanted me in your bed. What’s the difference now? Are you saying it was fine when you openly flirted with me?”
“Flirting is better than this!”
“Come on, Marcus. Don’t be so dramatic! Why are you so mad that I think of a better way to do this? Let’s not waste our time in flirting when we can just do it right away,” she explained.
“I don’t know what to say to you anymore, Dani. You are so opinionated and you wouldn’t listen to any of my words!”
“Stop pretending you wouldn’t like what’s about to happen, Marcus. You wanted to do it with me from the first time you saw me,” she reminded him about the way he flirted with her.
“You are right. I want you in my bed. I want to fuck you,” he said while shaking his head, and then he continued, “But not like this, Dani. We can start again and let me seduce you,” he emphasized that flirting and seducing would be a lot of fun.
“Nice, but as I have said earlier, I don’t have much time to wait until you’re done seducing me, Marcus,” she told him.
Oh no, it seemed that he had no way to escape from the crazy woman.
When he lost Arianna, he thought of having a vasectomy because he didn’t want to have a child anymore, but the idea was forgotten when he started living in Hacienda Velasquez, and now he regretted not having one.
What if Daniella would force herself on him and it would result in pregnancy? He would be forced to do something that he didn’t want to do.
“You’re pretty, Dani. I’m sure there will be several men in this building who would like to bed you.” He said, in a hope that she would let him go. “You don’t have to stoop so low,” he tried to persuade her but when he stared into her eyes, he saw desperation, fear, and distress.
“Nice try, Marcus. But my mind is already set when I choose you,” Daniella answered.
That moment, Marcus came face to face with the reality that nothing was more dangerous than a crazy woman!
“You can’t do this to me! I have work to do and-”
“How much?” She interrupted him in the middle of his explanation. “Name your price, Mr. Madrigal.”
“I don’t need your money, Dani! Just let me go and I will forget about this incident,” he promised her.
“I’m sorry,” she said before she took off the pet cone from his neck because he looked too uncomfortable with it. “Behave, or I will put this back on your neck!” She warned him.
Marcus was not afraid when she threatened him about the pet cone.
“I don’t understand why you have to do this, Dani.” His voice was low just like a father who tried to explain things to her daughter.
Daniella was thankful for Scooby, her dog. She adored Scooby too much that the first thing she did while in HK was to shop for Scooby’s things such as colorful leashes, clothes, and pet cones.
“Just shut your mouth up, will you?” She yelled at him before she unzipped her pants and pulled them down.
Then, her blouse followed to the floor. Daniella hesitated to take off her underwear while his eyes were on her, but she reminded herself that it was not the right time to be shy.
“Now, stay and don’t move.” She ordered although it would be difficult for the man to move freely with the shrink wrap on his body.
“No, Dani. Let’s do it the right way. Allow me to do it properly,” he requested.
“What if you will escape from me, Marcus? I wouldn’t get another chance!”
Escape from a goddess before him? No way! He was already mesmerized by her beauty, but when she started taking off her clothes, he knew he couldn’t let another man to do it with her.
“I will do it with you...in a better way. Set me free, Dani,” he pleaded one more time, and when he saw the hesitation in her eyes, he knew he was winning.
“I’m sorry but I am really desperate to do it, Marcus,” she apologized for her mistake.
“I understand, Dani. Let’s do it right,” he told her again.
“What should I do?”
“Set me free first and I will guide you,” he stated.
Daniella agreed and set him free from the shrink wrap. She knew it was risky but she trusted his words.
“I’m hungry,” he said.
“W-what?” she asked in disbelief.
“Please order some food,” he ordered and when she hesitated to do it, he pointed to the telephone on the bedside table.
“Alright,” she agreed, but the same time, she wondered what’s inside his head.
She was talking on the phone when he decided to do it. He ordered a wide selection of delicious meal including a bottle of red wine. When he glanced at Daniella, she seemed to be displeased.
“Don’t worry, I will pay for it, Dani. This will be our first date,” he claimed but then his eyes were glued at the plumpness of her breast. “Put on some clothes, first. I’ll do the undressing later,” he ordered and she gasped in embarrassment. She has probably forgotten about her nudity at the moment.
When the hotel staff arrived with a tray of food, Daniella’s body was covered with a simple dress. However, he knew that underneath that dress, she wore nothing else. She went commando but of course, she had no choice as there was a limited time to do that.
“Let’s eat,” he told her after setting the food on the table near the window.
Earlier, Marcus opened the drapes so that they would have a view of the entire city. The skyline was a great background on their first date, and he enjoyed seeing her being uncomfortable in her seat.
“Relax, Dani,” he told her, and then he chuckled because he managed to turn the situation into his advantage.
“Y-yeah, that’s right,” she replied, while slicing a small bite of the juicy steak in front of her.
“Enjoy your food, Dani. You don’t have to be comfortable,” he reminded her to just relax while eating with him.
A few minutes later, Marcus could tell that Dani was more nervous than ever. Everything went according to his plan. He just needed her to know who has the upper hand in the matter.
“Can we do it now?”
Daniella asked right away after they had their wine but he just shook his head.
“Later, Dani. Let’s watch a movie first,” he said and then he grabbed her toward the bed where they could sit and watch the movie.
“Aren’t we wasting too much time already?” she complained.
“Don’t worry. I will make it so memorable for you later,” he assured her.
“Memorable, my foot!”
Then, his eyes widened as Daniella slowly takes off her dress and there was no reservation in the way she stripped off her clothing.
Marcus doubted that he wasn’t the first man she would sleep with. The way she undressed herself in front of a man was a clear proof that she did it several times already.
Suddenly, Marcus was scared that she might have a sexually transmitted disease.
“Let’s do it, Dani. Take your time,” he told her.
“It will just frustrate us both, Marcus. Let’s do it now,” she insisted.
“What do you think you’re doing?” he asked when she retrieved a scissor from the drawer.
“You promised to take these off after dinner, but you tried to delay everything, Marcus,” she answered.
Then, Daniella used the scissor to cut a hole near his zipper. It was only enough that she could unzip his pants, and let his manhood free. She shrieked when his erection sprang up from his boxers.
He looked away when Daniella started to touch him. It was gentle and he hated his body for responding to her touch. Or should he say that he has responded to her idea of having him forcefully…even earlier?
“You are rude…and selfish!” He accused her when she suddenly pushed him. Then, he realized something important. He was stronger than Daniella and his hands were free.
In a swift motion, he managed to change their position, and Daniella’s eyes widened then the realization hit her that he was more powerful. Finally, she realized who has the upper hand.
“So, you like it rough, huh?” he asked, but her eyes were bewildered.
Before she could respond, Marcus shifted their position once more, letting her on top of his body. He didn’t let her go while he pulled down his pants, and took off his shirt.
Her soft body was pressed on top of his until he was fully naked, and she gasped when she felt the hardness of his muscles.
“Marcus…wait,” she said.
“Scared?” he asked.
“No, I am not scared but-”
He didn’t let her finish talking and grabbed her face. Then, he conquered her lips in a ravishing kiss. He also sucked on her bottom lip because he couldn’t help himself.
Her lips were plump, soft, and sweet. He couldn’t get enough of her lips, so he deepened the kiss and used his tongue. Daniella purred when he did it, therefore, he was encouraged to do more.
With the other hand on her waist, he guided her body to move on top of him. The friction she made while moving around him fueled his carnal desire. He wanted more of her. He wanted to taste every inch of her skin!
Daniella scolded herself for welcoming the sensation of his manhood rubbing into her clitoris. She shouldn’t be enjoying giving herself to a man she just met. She shouldn’t find some pleasure in doing it with him because he wasn’t her boyfriend. While she was on top of his body, he adjusted their position, and then he guided his erection to penetrate her. It didn’t go through and his eyes were bewildered. Wait, did he expect her to be a promiscuous type of woman? Did he assume she already lost her maidenhead to another man? Well, she couldn’t blame him, tough. Her actions caused him to believe the worst about her. “Are you making fun of me now?” she asked when she caught him smirking. What the hell was she thinking? Marcus silently laughed when he realized that she was not an experienced lover. Judging from her movement, she’s an amateur or even a first-timer. He knew she was frustrated when he heard her curse loudly. Then, she continued to rub herself unto his erection and he wa
“Look who’s here!” Paloma greeted her stepdaughter when she met with Daniella on her way to the kitchen. “None of your business,” she answered. Daniella ignored her stepmother and continued to walk to her bedroom. She just arrived from her long journey and she was dead tired. She wanted to sleep! It was around three o’clock in the afternoon when she woke up from her deep sleep. She was starving so she proceeds to the kitchen to grab something to eat, but lost her appetite upon seeing the evil witch! “We have to talk, Ella,” Paloma said. Daniella raised her eyebrows at Paloma before she pulled her chair to sit down. “As far as I’m concerned, we have nothing to talk about.” She refused to call her Mama or Mother. She hated Paloma ever since she joined her family. “Common, Ella. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Do you still remember what was written on Greg’s last will?” It wasn’t her intention to irritate Daniella but her indifference forced her to be a wicked stepm
Samuel rolled out laughing when Marcus told him what happened in HK. It was simply unbelievable but his friend was not a liar. “Now, you are into comedy!” How could he believe that a woman was able to subdue Marcus’ strength, and what more, she violated his body? “You’re kidding, Marcus.” “Why should I make fun of myself, Sam?” Marcus asked his friend who couldn’t stop laughing at his misfortune in HK. “Common Marcus, why would you make it a big deal? You didn’t do anything wrong to your client. It was the opposite!” Samuel convinced his friend not to get too worked about the incident. “For me, you are very lucky, my friend. I saw her file and she was beautiful!” Then, he laughed, while Marcus scowled at him. “She could become pregnant!” He yelled. When it happened, he was not able to wear any protection and the woman didn’t allow him to withdraw himself before spilling his seed inside her womb. When Marcus mentioned the possibility that Daniella could become pregnant, S
The idea of marriage was jaw-dropping but when Marcus suggested the abortion, it was even more shocking that she almost jump from her seat and attack him. Daniella was amused at Paloma’s reaction because her stepmother who always looked regal and proper cursed at Marcus. “How dare you!” Paloma shouted at the man who was comfortably sitting on their sofa. She was fuming with anger when the bastard suggested aborting Daniella’s pregnancy when he could have said no to her proposed marriage. “I’m not yet ready to become a father, Dani.” He understood their outburst but what about him? He was forced to do it, and now they wanted him to marry her? It was a double kill, and he couldn’t allow it to happen. “My child is going to be fine without you, Marcus. Just leave now before my mother will shoot you with her shotgun,” she threatened him but the man didn’t budge from his seat and wasn’t afraid to look them in the eyes. “You will let him leave? Ella, are you out of your min
The sequence of events had taken its toll on Daniella and she wanted to rest in her bedroom…alone. “Congratulations, Ella. Are you happy that he is now yours?” Edwin asked her goddaughter after the ceremony. He wanted to celebrate with them but Paloma told him that Daniella wished to be alone with her new husband. “Take care of Ella, Marcus. I wish that you will be happily ever after,” he said before he bid goodbye to everyone. “Edwin wait,” Paloma rushed to Gregory’s friend and thanked him for being available at the right time. “All right. Patty, tell everyone we are going on a trip!” Paloma announced after Edwin was gone. She booked several rooms at Sumilon Island earlier. “We’re leaving in fifteen minutes,” she added and Patty hurried up to inform everyone. “Ella, you stay here with Marcus while I treat everyone to Sumilon,” she said. “You…you will leave me? With him?” Daniella couldn’t believe what Paloma has said. How could she blindly trust Marcus? He could be
He has decided to enjoy his stay as her prisoner and he planned to seduce his wife. By all means, he would make her fall in love with him, then dump her like a hot potato! Soon, the woman would have a taste of her own medicine and she would learn that it wasn’t good to toy with innocent people. While in the shower, Marcus contemplated Daniella’s possible reaction when he would go out of the bathroom with just a towel or nothing. She would be surprised, for sure. After he cleaned himself, he wiped the water on his body with the towel that Daniella gave her, then went outside without troubling himself to cover his nudity. Like a model of underwear, he strutted his way toward the bed. He used to be a playboy and seducing any woman would be child’s play for Marcus. “What the hell?” He cursed when he discovered Daniella’s position in the center of the bed. How could she sleep soundly with arms and legs wide open to the point that she occupied the entire bed? The woman didn’t even b
Daniella boiled a cup of glutinous rice and when it was soft, she added at least five pieces of Guilang’s Tableya, sugar, and milk. Then she waited until the porridge was very soft and the chocolate bars were properly dissolved and mixed with the rice. “Is it not done yet?” Marcus asked Daniella when he finished his second cup of coffee and she was still stirring the champorado. “If you can’t wait, then go ahead and eat!” She snapped at the man who insisted on eating together but couldn’t wait until her breakfast was done. “Your temper is nasty Dani, but we have to talk… about our situation.” His tone was serious and his face was also solemn. This morning, he had been thinking to be honest with the woman about his status quo, and the earlier their marriage to be annulled, the better. “If you are previously married, then we won’t have a problem, Marcus. If you’re worried about the annulment cost, I will take care of it,” she volunteered to shoulder everything that their
“Mama!” Lilian was shocked to find her mother outside the door. She thought that she wouldn’t be able to see her again because of Daniella. She hugged her mother tightly because she missed her so much. “I thought you are not coming!” “I miss you, Lil.” Paloma was teary-eyed after hugging her daughter whom she missed every day. Gregory had wanted her to bring Lilian to the big house and live with them but she objected to it because she needed to focus on Daniella. She had become a bad mother to Lilian, and to Daniella, she was also bad. She’s a total failure as a mother. When Marcus showed up, she took it as a sign that she needed to let go of Daniella and focused on her daughter instead. She wished that she hasn’t wasted her twenty years with Daniella. “I miss you so much, Ma. So, are you staying here for good?” Lilian was excited at the thought that her mother would finally live with her. “Actually, no,” Paloma answered. “What?” Her excitement and happiness totally
