David hurriedly went home to change his clothes and packed his things. He was planning to go to Country C and stayed there for a while to get his possession.‘You can’t hide from me now, Mariane.’ he thought as he saw pictures of her.When he saw the picture of George and Mariane together, his rage suddenly urged. He looks like he’s ready to kill someone who blocks his way. ‘Damn, you traitor! I won’t let you slide this time. You took my woman while I was away. I will kill you… you bastard!’ David tore the picture of Mariane and George. Then he lit his lighter and burnt the image of George.Suddenly, he remembered the other person who also betrayed him. ‘I should visit her before I leave.’ He picked up his car keys from the table and drove his car to his hideout. David stopped in front of the old building, where his men were waiting for him. He asked one of his men to park his car in the parking lot.As soon as he stood up at the entrance, his men greeted him with a bow. His domineeri
“Answer me!” David’s voice thundered in the four corners of the room.Agatha shivered in fear as she looked away, trying to ignore his gaze.“Mariane… S-she did have a baby before. But the baby is gone before she gave birth to it.” David lose his grip on her, which made Agatha sigh in relief.David’s eyes darkened as he couldn’t believe what had happened to Mariane. “What happened? Was it my child?” he asked.Agatha’s anxiety went back, and she lost her sanity once again. Agatha walked towards her bed while humming a lullaby song. David sighed frustratingly, as he knew he couldn’t get an answer from Agatha anymore.‘I should really need to see her.’ He thought as he clenched his fists.“John, book me a flight right away,” David ordered. ‘Mariane, you better have a good explanation.’ he muttered.***Mariane was busy doing paperwork when Anastacia called. She frowned because Anastacia wouldn’t call her during working hours.‘That’s new. Mom wouldn’t call me at this hour. Why did she c
Mariane arrived at their office earlier than usual to arrange her things in her new office. After the HR manager told Mariane about her promotion and her office, they immediately set up her office. So that, when she entered the office, she could use her new office. But what surprised her was her colleagues were already there.Mariane’s brows furrowed as she wondered why her colleagues glared at her as if she got indicted as a suspect in a murder case. ‘What’s with the glare?’ she wondered.“She is the newest hire here, but she has yet to be promoted.” Anne, one of her colleagues, said with a disgusted look on her face.“I heard that she doesn't even have a master's degree to get her position right now.” The other woman scoffed.“I also heard something else... He said it was his first time working after three years of rest.” The other staff said, which made Mariane feel embarrassed.She knew they were talking about her and pointing fingers at her, as she was the only employee who had j
“Nice to see you again, wife.”Mariane took a step back and her eyes widened in horror as she felt shiver all over her body. She even unconsciously let go of the paper she was holding.“S-so it’s you,” she muttered.David smirked as he saw the fear in her eyes. He made a step forward, towards her. “Stop. Don’t come near me.” She raised her hand as if she could stop him with her hands.But instead of being afraid, David laughed like he just heard a ridiculous joke. “Are you serious?”In one swift mode, David quickly reached Mariane. And Mariane's previously raised hand was now wrapped around her neck, while David was behind her. David smelled her hair and whispered in her ear. “You can never get away from me,” he said under his breath.Mariane shivered in fear. She was afraid that David would find out about their son and take him away from her. David could feel Mariane shaking. She panted so fast. As if her heart will go out of her ribcage.“Three years... I searched for you for three
“Will you not avoid me if you knew I was the one who helped you? Will you like me then?” Mariane almost squinted when she and David stared at each other. She felt her cheek heat up, a sign that it was red. Mariane immediately looked away.“Looks like you are blushing,” David teased as he leaned closer to her.Mariane closed her eyes as she was anticipating that David would kiss her anytime, but because of her reaction, David found it amusing. “Don’t worry. Even if I want to take you right here, right now… I will not do it here. The door can be opened anytime. And I don’t want anybody to see you naked.” he whispered to her ears which made Mariane shiver down her spine.David traced her lips down to her body onto the middle of her thighs, using his index finger, making Mariane flinch and felt goosebumps. He smirked and pulled Mariane back, so she will not fall from the desk.Mariane felt her body heat, and her cheeks were now as red as tomatoes. She felt embarrassed. ‘What the hell,
“I am already attached to this place.” Mariane winced as she realized how lame her excuse was.“Lame excuse,” David commented.“I have debts to George,” she reasoned again.David looked at her with his brow raised in disbelief, “I can pay him. How much is it?” he asked.“I owe him my life,” she answered.“I can spare his life, in exchange for yours, plus I will pay him with money and a business for the interest.”Mariane shrugged… As she loses her reasons for why she couldn’t leave the country.Mariane bit her lower lip as she wanted to stop herself from saying the real reason why she didn’t want to go with him. ‘What else I will reason out, for him to stop pestering me?’ she wondered.“I don’t like you,” she said.“I know you were and you still are. You liked me back then,”Mariane sneered. “That was before. But now… I have no feelings for you other than hating you!”He looked at her with skepticism. “Oh, really?” he mocked. “I won’t buy it.”Mariane sighed exasperatingly. ‘Why does
“Do you want me to remove my beard?” David asked with a smile, which made Jacob nod. “And your mustache,” Jacob added. “Oh, okay. I will do that next time,” he said. He hid again at her mother’s back. “Hey buddy, can I hug you? Come to Daddy.” David tried to reach for Jacob, but the kid hugged her mother’s legs, afraid to be held by a stranger. David was not used to kids. He hates kids ever since. Because for him, kids did nothing but whine. And now, he was trying his best to be patient in front of his son. But he could never hide his frustrations. He sighed exasperatingly and forced Jacob to come to him. “I said come to me.” He said with his teeth gritted. David was struggling to get him. But the little kid was stubborn like him. His lips wiggled as if he will cry anytime, and there was a tear on the side of his eyes. “Mommy, he’s really scary. I don’t want him to be my dad.” Mariane looked at Jacob helplessly. She bent her knees, so she could level her son’s eyes. “But he is y
‘Dammit! My son didn’t like me. What will I do?’ David brushed his head with his fingers out of his frustration. He was walking around his room trying to figure out what will he do to persuade his son and get closer to him.But he knew his not good at taking the kids’ sides. Because he knew how impatient and short-tempered he was. But for his son, David wanted to do everything he can to be with Jacob. David looked at the time on his phone and noticed it was already ten in the evening.‘Will it be okay to call Mariane at this hour?’ He looked at Mariane’s number in his phone and was about to call her, but suddenly, his mind changed. ‘But knowing her, she sleeps early.’ David heaved a sigh.‘Whatever… I will call her now. This is a matter of emergency.’ David shook his thoughts away and continued dialing his phone.David tapped his foot on the floor while waiting for her to answer his phone call. But after a few attempts, Mariane did not answer his call. ‘Maybe she really is sleeping.’
