“What?” I widened my eyes. “Let's go. She's not worth my time.” Nikki took my hand in hers and turned. “Let's check the other stores. This place isn't worth it if someone like her buys things here.” Before I could so much blink, she dragged me out of the store and headed to the one opposite it. “What's wrong? Why did you drag me out?” I frowned at a scowling Nikki. “That woman there is Pearl. She's your husband's ex-girlfriend.” She said as if that explained the hastiness in her steps.“Hmm.” "Stupid ugly ex!" She murmured under her breath, sounding super pissed. I couldn't help, but compare myself to Miguel's supposed ex-girlfriend.Compared to her, I look like a maid, while she looks like a model. And that made me wonder why Miguel left her. Could it be that she was the one who dumped him?“She's beautiful.” I murmured. “Just like a snake before it bites. She's an ugly bitch who doesn't mind the number of people she takes down if it means she gets to achieve her goals.In th

Jewel's POVStar and I visited the hospital after my class. Though she tried to cheer me up, I felt down. During the examination, the doctor also tried to cheer me up, but it was to no avail. It wasn't until I saw the results of the test, that I smiled a bit.“You are showing positive signs.” He nodded with a smile. “If you continue with this, I guarantee, there will be good news.”I smiled at that. “Thank you, doctor.” “You don't have to thank me. Your determination is part of your success.” He smiled at me.I thanked him before I exited his office. Star, who was playing with her phone, stood up from her chair the moment she saw me. “How was it? Any success?” She asked, eager to know the results.“The doctor said there is hope.” I beamed, “he said I can get pregnant.”“Yeah!” She shrieked so loud that it earned us stares from those around her.“Hush! You are embarrassing me!” I gritted out through clenched teeth.“I can yell all I want. You don't have to hush me.” She carried my

“What are you talking about?” He narrowed his eyes at me. “I've never flirted with any woman since the day I set my eyes on you.”“And you want me to believe that?” I scoffed. “That's the truth.” He made to touch my hair, but I slapped his hand off. “Why were you with your ex? Have you gotten tired of me? Is it because I'm not as beautiful as her? At least, if you will cheat on me, do so discreetly!”“My ex?” He furrowed his brows at me. “What do you mean by cheating on you with my ex?”“Don't you dare try to deny it.” I folded my arms and narrowed my eyes at him. “Star and I saw you at the mall with her.” “Pearl?” A confused frown graced his face before it turned into a smirk. “Are you jealous?”“Jealous my foot!” I glared at him. “If you are tired of me, you can tell me. There is no need to move behind my back.” Though it hurts to think of it, I won't let him know that. He chuckled. “As much as I would have loved to see your jealous face, there is something you need to know, Je

Jewel's POV“We wasted precious time in going to the hospital.” Star plopped down on the couch, with her hands placed on her face as she tried not to moan in disappointment. “We wouldn't have wasted any time had I charged my phone last night.” I glanced at my phone, which is currently charging. “I believe he might have called me, only to realize my number wasn't available." “Hmm.” Star sat up, “so, what do you want to do before your husband returns?”“Homework?” I carried my backpack from the floor I dropped on when we arrived. "There are things I need to browse about. Can you—" “You are no fun," she moaned. Have I ever been any fun? Aside from the time we raced through the compound, to get out, so I can attend the weekly ball, we have never had any fun. “Is Nikki back?”“I doubt that.” She leaned back on the couch. “Should we watch a series? There's a new one I found!”“No, I —” The front door opened, and Miguel stepped in.“You are back early?” I raised a brow at him before

He helped me up to the bed."You were awesome,” he murmured as he slowly brought his face forward, to kiss me. I placed a hand on his lips and shook my head. “I just swallowed your load. My mouth will undeniably taste funny.” I shook my head, “I need to rinse—”“It doesn't make any difference, Jewel.”With that, he planted his mouth firmly on mine and tangled our tongues together. His tongue and mine were already familiar with each other. As his tongue drove me to another level of crazy, I placed my hand on his hair and I urged him to kiss me more.I felt myself getting wetter, the more he kissed me. Still kissing me, he made me lie on the bed, and gently removed my clothes until I was naked, with him towering over me. His eyes racked through my body, and they got darker as he leaned down to kiss me. I took the initiative to run my hands through his soft hair.He trailed kisses down my chin and neck to my collarbone. He spent a long time sucking and biting my neck as his hands t
