ZyxhiaxyThe next morning, I woke up still in Styx's arms. I smiled and caressed his soft cheeks. He was sleeping soundly, and his peaceful face was attractive. His arms were wrapped around my waist as if I would disappear at any moment.I smiled when he groaned and buried his face in my neck. He smelled it a little and touched his lips, so I knew he was awake."Styx," I whispered when he started pinching my waist in a way that sent shivers down my spine."Hmmm?" he hummed and continued kissing my neck."Let's get up, ahhh!" I couldn't stop moaning when he sucked my skin there. He happily moved his face away from my neck and faced me. I frowned at his gentle face."Good morning, love."I can't help smiling. We used to be like this; every time we woke up early, we went to the kitchen together, and he cooked breakfast for me. After that, I will prepare what he will wear to work, and I myself will be the one to wear his necktie. I couldn't help but smile bitterly. I shouldn't worry about
ZyxhiaxyIt wasn't easy for me to convince Styx not to go with me. He insisted several times on going with me, but I didn't agree either. No matter what he does, he can't see Engineer Drylto and me together.I drove quickly to go to the address of the coffee shop the man gave me. I didn't even get there when I noticed that my cellphone was lit up and saw that he was calling.I sighed before answering his call. It was easy for me to talk to him because my phone was connected to the car's speaker."Hey, Ms. Xedler, do you intend to make me wait here all day?" he opened.Turned the steering wheel before answering. I'm almost at the address. "Just wait for me, asshole."His irritating laugh is repeated again. Annoyed, I stepped on the accelerator to speed up."Okay. Safe driving, my lady."I don't know why I'm talking at that idiot. Last night, before I went to Styx, he called to let me know that he would help me with my plan. I'm not that dumb to trust him, but I guess I had a hint of wh
ZyxhiaxyI can't believe I could accuse Duex of such a thing. Out of all the people around me, he was the only one I could trust, but I was able to accuse him of something he would never do.Regret filled my heart, and I hated myself for not accepting what I had done. Maybe I was just carried away by emotion, but that's not enough for me to blame Duex. He is a good person, and I can't deny that. He saved me several times whenever I needed him.Even when I thought my life was over, he held on to me and opened my eyes to a new life. So I don't know how to act after he confesses to me.Should I avoid him? I don't think that's the best idea. But I couldn't act properly knowing that I had done bad things to him, and he just confessed to me to prove his innocence. It's annoying because if it weren't for my doubts, he wouldn't be able to admit it like that.Even though I keep insisting to myself that Duex is the most deserving of love, I can't deny that there is a part of my heart that is di
ZyxhiaxyThe next day, when I woke up, he wasn't by my side. I didn't wonder anymore and went downstairs to prepare food. He watched over me all night. I woke up several times to pee, and he watched over me and even helped me go to the bathroom. He also wakes me up every time I take medicine. He sacrifices his sleep to make me feel better, which is why I'm planning something so I can get back at him.After going down, I found Styx serving food on the table. He still doesn't see me and is just serious about levelling the plate on the table. I smiled at that sight. I couldn't help but be thrilled when I remembered how he took care of me last night.He looked up when he felt my presence. His eyes were blank.I sighed. "Why haven't you left yet?" He sighed before putting the utensils down."Why did you get up so soon? Do you want your sickness to get worse?" he said, coming to me. I jolted to my feet when he touched the back of his palm to my forehead. His brows were furrowed, and his lip
ZyxhiaxyEveryone was busy the whole week preparing for the big event. I didn't request that my birthday be grand, but Styx insisted. It's annoying because I'm not used to having this kind of event with a lot of people, but I couldn't stop him. They also want to do that to formally introduce me to everyone as the new chairman of the company. By Saturday, my birthday will be held there. I was nervous as hell because I'd meet a lot of people there. Although I am used to gathering, this time the spotlight is on me. I was about to leave the office when I saw Duex knocking on the door. I arched a brow. "What do you need?" I said as I stepped back. He smiled at me and showed me a paper bag. "Lunch?" I sighed before proceeding to my chair. I put down the things to take with me when leaving and sat down. I just watched him while he laid our food on the table. He was serious while doing that. "How's the investigation?" I'm
ZyxhiaxyThe day passed like a breeze, and tomorrow is my birthday. Styx insisted that we should have a date before my birthday. I didn't refuse because I wanted it too.I just sat in front of the vanity mirror and looked at myself. I smile faintly at myself as I try to familiarise myself with my face. I realised that I didn't know myself now. A lot has changed; I'm no longer the old Zyxhiaxy they knew.For years, I refused to look in the mirror because every time I stared at my face, I would just remember those people who once adored my face. Mama used to say that she was ashamed of me. She said she can't bear to be with me every time we go out because people often know right away that I'm his daughter. Mama and I have a lot in common, so I'm not surprised.Styx used to rain kisses there every time before going to sleep, waking up, and until dinner. He never forgets to kiss my face, especially every time he goes to work.I closed my eyes as I felt a tear fall from my eyes. I thought
ZyxhiaxyThe event began with an introduction. I could barely follow what the emcee was saying because of Styx's arm on my back.I was standing in front of the crowd while holding a mic. I tried to stop myself from smiling, but I failed when I saw Styx in the crowd. His lips rose up as he winked at me."Good evening," I said in a low voice. Everyone's gaze was on me. They were looking at me with their twinkling eyes. I can't believe that the company's other big investors are coming here now. Others came from Russia and New York. I can't believe that this special event was made for me."First, I want to thank our foreign visitors who made it here. Thank you so much for allowing us to have you today."Styx was just gazing at me while watching me speak the whole time. When it was over, they clapped together until I got off the stage. When I got down, I was greeted by Styx's hug. I heard gasps; even though they saw us together a while ago, they still couldn't believe what they were seeing
ZyxhiaxyDuring the whole trip, Duex's words remained in my head.He clearly stated that he was the only one I should trust, and my mind silently agreed. He just talks to me every time he asks me if I want something to eat or if I'm hungry.My mind should not be on the two of them and Styx, and it should be on my son, but I can't help it. I know now that Styx knows about my leaving the country. I filed for leave, so it is unlikely that it will reach him.When the plane we were on landed, the familiar cold air greeted us. I smiled and walked closer to the car that picked me up for the trip."Too excited? Your lips will tear when you smile more."I rolled my eyes at Duex. "Don't you use it?"He chuckled. "Naughty."No one at home knows that Duex and I will arrive here this soon, so I'm restless, and I really want to close the distance between me and my son.The car stopped in front of a large gate. It opened spontaneously when it recognised us, and then the driver continued to drive in
