Chapter 28
“Are you sleeping?” Audrey asked when she didn’t hear a response from Shane. She moved closer to watch his face closely, making sure that the other wasn’t pretending to be unconscious. “Say something if you’re awake,” she added while carefully watching his eyelashes which she expected to flutter.
“Forget it,” she gave up her idea about him ignoring her question. “So, how I get you out of the tub? Don’t expect me to carry you like a princess because I’m not your prince. Ah, it should be the other way around.”
She kept murmuring to herself, not noting the faint smile on the man’s face. “Gosh, why can’t I just leave you alone here until you recover on your own? Besides, it's you who decided to overexert yourself in drinking when you knew that you can’t handle it. Those

The warm water in the bath helped Shane feel less comfortable. His memory was still blurry but some details remained to play inside his head. He stared at the door where Audrey disappeared and brushed his face with his palms as he started to recall the reason why he was so hammered. Shane let his body slid down in the tub to drown away the weary thought he had in mind.He was busy shooting a commercial as the GGE ambassador when Stephanie called him. After his recollection with his lost love, Stephanie became more clingy to him that he’d spend the night with her at her place, occasionally.If not for Lucy’s firm reminder, he would have already ditched the second half part of the shooting just to meet up with the apple of his eye. Shane literally became one call away for Stephanie. The singer seemed to en

Moans and groans echoed in the four corners of the room. A queen-size bed was placed in the middle and on top of it, a nympho was grinding her hips against the man beneath her.“Ooh…”Stephanie was admired by millions, including Shane because of her angelic voice when she sings. Never did he thought that she’d part her lips, let out a sultry hymn, and made use of her vocals to incite an old man’s sexual desire over her. She moved her body up and sat over the man’s torso, filling in her empty, soaking wet cave with his boner. “Um…” she moaned when she felt its presence inside her.“Hah…” she puffed while keeping up her pace, doing most of the work since her partner was not just old but also had a large belly bump.

Uncomfortable but nice. Audrey tried scolding herself when her heart easily got swayed with just one simple action from him. Her clothes were wet and so was Shane’s. He was giving her a back hug and probably couldn’t see her face filled with a tinge of pink fantasy, accompanied a sweet curve on her lips. She felt nice.When she heard the words he whispered to her with his silvery voice, her heart skipped a beat. She almost felt like floating in the clouds if only not for the sound of water, dripping from their clothes to the floor, which entirely ruined the ‘sweet and romantic’ atmosphere she had imagined.Shane’s arms held her tighter, and it was no longer a hug, but he’s squishing her. She nudged him, so he’d pull away and let her go, but he tightened it more. “You’re hurting me. I can’t breathe,” sh

“Hija!”Mrs. Emily Vargas, Shane’s mother, and her late mother’s friend greeted her with open arms after seeing each other for a long time. The last time they talked in person was in the hospital after she got involved in a car accident.“It’s nice to see you again, Ma’am.” Audrey gladly hugged the elder. “Let’s get inside first. It’s cold out here,” she suggested and politely showed the way.Shane was still fast asleep, and she would suggest not to wake him up yet despite his mother’s arrival, or he’d only cause her to worry about his drinking habits.“You’re getting prettier every time we meet, Hija.” Mrs. Vargas smiled at her when the both settle d

Time passed faster when it comes to happy moments. Shane spent some hours talking to his mom and Audrey would occasionally join in whenever she was dragged in the conversation which was Mrs. Vargas’ doing of course. Audrey offered help in the kitchen to leave them alone but Shane told her to let the cook handle his tasks.It was thirty minutes past seven in the evening. Rebecca and the girls had prepared the dinner in the dining hall. And the three of them enjoyed a fulfilling meal. They were having some dessert when Audrey’s phone rang. It was Nathan calling him.“Excuse me, I need to take this call.” She pushed the seat back and stood. Shane was looking at her intently before she turned around to go out for a bit.“Hi, Nate. How’s everything doing?” She mumbled afte

“Hahaha!”Shane’s laughter broke the silence when Audrey cupped her mouth after talking so much. Her face was as red as a ripe tomato. “You’re blushing,” he teased, looking at her face under the moonlight.“No, I’m actually annoyed,” Audrey stated. She looked around and saw a bench ahead. They were in the orchard located ta the west side of the estate. The smell of ripening mangoes was so addictive that she focused herself on sniffing the sweet scent in the air instead of facing the man who couldn’t stop laughing while insisting that she was affected by his question.“Come on, chub. Did you really not have a crush on me before? I was already so good looking when we were in grade school. I even received a lot of presents and love letters from th

“Mom, did you know that she was in Italy all this time? So I was the only one who has no idea,” Shane drank the water from his glass. “I thought she was just in the Visayas because that’s what John told me,” he added and faced her. “Did you tell your driver to give me lies when I was asking about your whereabouts?”“I…” Audrey stopped. Why would she feel guilty when he didn’t even bother to check on her when she was still in the Visayas before.“Tsk. I’m full,” he grumbled and left his seat.“Don’t mind him, Hija.” Mrs. Vargas comforted her.“It’s okay,” Audrey replied. She went on eating as nothing happened. Lingering in the past would only make the present more difficult. Just like her feelings for him. The more she kept it a secret, the harder she falls for him.“We believed that Shane was going to look for you after what happened on your wedding day. So telling him about your whereabouts would be making things easy for his search. I’m truly embarrassed to find

Shane locked himself up in the master’s bedroom after what happened. He couldn’t believe that his mother was aware of Audrey’s whereabouts, leaving him the only one who had no idea.He laid down on his chest, burying his face on the soft bed. His mind went chaotic. In fact, Shane was aware that Audrey didn’t have any obligation to notify him about her major decisions in life or whatsoever related to her choices but what she did hurt his pride. He believed that Audrey would always stay by his side no matter what. Audrey would always understand him. Audrey would always forgive him. And she would always wait for him.A sarcastic laughed escaped his lips. He literally took her for granted just because he knew she had no other friends but him. Just because he never considered that one day, she might change and aim high. And that day was realized wh
