Khein leaned casually on his chair and looked at Mr. Turno coldly in the eyes. Even his tone has no sense of humor in it. He was dead serious."I-I do have a wife, yes." Mr. Turno fakes a laugh."Then why look at other women, then? You're married. Be content."The middle-aged guy was slightly frowned. I could literally see he was slightly pissed but was just stopping it."I think it's normal to appreciate beauty but still be a loyal husband to his wife, Mr. Jones. I guess you didn't know this yet since you're still young and single. Why don't you try settling down now, yes?""It's not about being unmarried, it means I don't know a thing or two. You are eye-fucking a woman quite clearly and still denies it."I covered my mouth through my hand as I stared unbelievably at Khein's back. What the hell?Mr. Turbo laughed awkwardly. "You're a silly man, I-I didn't, of course."Khein did not say anything after that and instead went straight to the main subject of this meeting. They discussed t
I ate heartily inside his car. I wasn't even embarrassed at all and was only minding my own business. I hugged him due to being overjoyed, but it meant nothing but gratefulness. He wouldn't possibly think something about it, right? Besides, hugging is a normal thing to do for us in our family. We're all verbally and physically vocal to any of our family members.But he's not a family, though.Anyhow, I should not think about it too much. My stomach has been throwing tantrums ever since and I was starving to death! I should mind my own world, not the others.I ordered a full pack meal set, extra large fries, pasta, and a large sundae. On the other hand, Khein got himself a burger and an ice tea."Thanks for the treat, Mr. Jones," I said for the 3rd time whilst munching my food. I couldn't help but feel grateful. Lately, life has been so difficult for me that I find it too hard to treat myself out. I spend most of my money on my groceries as well as my rent, transportation, and Joni's fo
I don't know why I was disappointed. I hate him. I hate Khein. After everything he has done to me, it made me loathe him to no end, and I don't believe it would ever change. I will never forget the way he treated me during my first week of work in his company as his secretary.But...I felt kinda sad knowing he wasn't here to welcome me. I mean, we're also colleagues, right?Anyway, I shouldn't ruin this party they made for me. Their efforts should be appreciated. A mere missing person should not be the cause of the disaster. I must enjoy myself.After all, I am finally out of my parents' house and am living alone. That, enough, is worth celebrating for."Do you drink, Miss Ferrero?" asked by a female colleague who's probably 5 years older than me or so.I gave her a nod. "A little.""Great! Then take this shot and let's celebrate you for being part of the company!"She handed me a glass of shot with some lemon above the glass. She made sure I drank it all up before she left.They all
My heart began beating violently against my chest. The proximity of our bodies were so dangerously close that I could literally feel the heat of his body radiating off of him. His chiseled chest rose up and down as if he was having a hard time breathing. His jaws were clenching hardly. I am afraid his bones will soon break.I looked at his face through the blinding disco lights around us. Even through the darkness, I could literally see how handsome he was. His hair wasn't slicked up like it usually looked like. His thick brows were furrowed, an obvious indication that he was internally having a battle of thoughts. His sharp nose was just perfect, and he had those cheekbones that looked perfect on him.He's a fine looking guy."S-Sir...!" I heard the man who harassed me said with fear laced upon his voice. As if I was back to my reverie, I blinked my eyes and looked over my shoulder to see the man looking so pale like a bond paper dull with any ink. It was as if he had seen a ghost whi
I woke up in a strange room. My mind immediately went into panic mode as I looked around the place. As if on instinct, my hands flew to my body to check if I was still wearing the same clothes I wore last night.I don't remember much of what happened last night after I spoke with Hana. After that, I went to the dancefloor and danced, then after that...After that, there was a guy who suddenly came.I covered my mouth through my hand as my eyes widened in the fright."O-Oh, God..." I uttered. Did I just go with that freaking man? What was I thinking, letting another man take me to his home? I wasn't naked, but we could never be sure what he had done to me.Tears gathered in the corner of my eyes."You're awake." Startled, I flinched. Looking through my widened eyes, I saw a figure facing the window. His back was facing me and he had a cup of coffee in his hand. His back figure was kinda familiar, though."I-Is that you, K-Khein?" I asked through my shaky voice. The fear was still evide
"Not everyone would like to sleep with a woman like you..." His words echoed in my head like a broken radio repeating the same record again and again. It haunted my mind even after I went back home."Not everyone, huh?" I uttered under my breath. "I am beautiful and desirable. Who wouldn't desire having me?" I added.Only a blind and a real faithful man would be uninterested in not sleeping with me. I have the beauty that exceeds any standard. I have a body like an hourglass that a lot of people die just to have. My family's genes are like genes blessed by the deities themselves. So why did he say that? Am I not pretty enough to be desired?Am I... unlikable?Boring, perhaps?Well, I couldn't disagree with the latter. I am rather a boring woman that hinders people from loving me completely. If it wasn't only for my face, I don't think I would be able to get a bit of respect from anyone.Even my own family didn't think of me as someone lovable enough not to be compared to my sister.Bi
I was shaking inside. To say I was disgusted could probably serve no justice to what I feel right now. I was sick in the guts."Fuck you!" I cursed angrily."No one is here to protect you, princess. No troops will be able to save you. How saddening is that, right? You come from a powerful family, yet here you are right now, powerless."I couldn't control myself anymore. I just want to lounge at him and take his heart off of his chest this instant. I would rather kill someone and not be disgusted than to let other people abuse my body in a way I couldn't stomach.And hell bitch, I would rather kill myself than to let him touch me."I will kill you," I said through my gritted teeth while glaring at him. If looks could only kill, he would've already been dead by now."I dare you," he mocked.I was indeed defenseless right now. My gun was in the drawer inside my room. I have no other guns placed in other places in this apartment other than my room. I could fight him in a hand to hand comba
"Miss Ferrero."I was still a little overwhelmed by what happened earlier. The fact that somebody had come to kill me was beyond my expectation. Although to think that moving out from the house means leaving my life behind, was absolutely absurd. I didn't actually think of this possibility, did I?I was stupid.After that incident, I have no choice but to contact one person to clean off my mess. I didn't contact my family for everyone's information. Instead, I called my cousin slash bff.When he literally heard my voice through the phone call, the first thing he said was, "What the fuck, bitch?! Why did you only call me after so many weeks?! Don't you know how worried I was for you, you slut?! You are not thinking, you dumbass shit of a girl!"He went on to curse me to no end. He was the only person that could say something to me like that. He was the only person allowed to utter those things to me that I did not mind hearing at all.Instead of getting offended, I laughed."Stop laughi
