"Take a quick shower, and let's have breakfast."I wiped away the sleep from the corners of my eyes and looked at Ezekiel, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, fixing his polo shirt."Okay." Well, this is the first time he offered me breakfast after sleeping with him.Reluctantly, I got out of bed, feeling sore all over. I immediately headed to his bathroom to freshen up and get ready.We had breakfast on the terrace of his room. The food was already prepared on a small table, with only two chairs facing each other.I wonder who's the unluckiest woman to ever sit here and deal with him.I sat across from him. As he started eating, I finally picked up my spoon."Are you taking the vitamins I gave you last time?" he asked me coldly.I nodded without looking at him. "Mm.""Then, why are you not gaining weight?""I don't know.""Tsk! We'll have to take a look at that after my business trip," he said. "I'll come back after a week. Make sure that you gain at least two to four kilos."I fr

EZEKIEL actually knew and predicted it all. For him, Raquel and Danilo were just pawns on his chessboard, to make Serena settle with him for the rest of their lives.He allowed the three of them to plan and escape, just to see how far they would go.From the moment Raquel came into their family, he had a bad feeling about her. But now, his dislike for her has tripled because of her interference in his and Serena's relationship.Why is she even close to his eyes? Since he married Serena, she has been stealing his attention, and they even have a better relationship.The bond didn't break when Serena left, and Raquel still offered to help her escape.If Raquel was the reason Serena escaped before, along with other men, it won't happen again.He has neither affection nor feelings for his adoptive sister, so he's confident he can turn her down at any moment. He was just restraining himself because Serena is too emotional; she might commit suicide if she knew someone died because of her.See

The cold breeze continued to sweep over my body as the windows and terrace of Ezekiel's master bedroom remained open."Hold me tight," he whispered seductively in my ear.I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck as he commanded.We quickly captured each other's lips, even though our mouths were filled with saliva, my throat remained dry and thirsty."Oh, Serena... you just don't know how dazzling you are," he praised, making my heart skip a beat."Dazzling? Even with the lights off?""Yes," he said firmly.I still don't know why he's acting like this. But I don't want to question him and make him upset.I swallowed. I didn't know how to respond because I was used to his praise."Serena," he trailed his lips from my lips down to my neck.I shivered every time I felt his bites and suckling on my neck. The sensation was so pleasurable, especially combined with the effects of the chocolate I ate.While his lips were busy trailing down to my plump breasts, his hand was busy tearing apart

"Twenty-six... twenty-seven..."As I watched Ezekiel swim back and forth in the twenty-meter swimming pool, continuously without stopping or coming up for air, it felt like I was the one running out of breath.He had already done thirty laps. It seemed like he was practicing to become a fishing boater or something.For some reason, I haven't seen him working lately; he's always hanging out here in the mansion. Occasionally, he would leave with his right-hand man, Ramil.For some reason, I felt uneasy as he swam endlessly. He was fighting against the force of the water's waves. It was as if he was channeling his emotions through the crashing waves.Was it because of Auntie Elizabeth's disturbance earlier this morning?"Forty-three... forty-four... forty-five..." I bit my lower lip. "Ezekiel!" I raised my voice to make sure he could hear me. "Ezekiel!"He seemed to be planning to drown himself. Well, he could do that if he wanted, but not in front of me, or I might have nightmares for th

"Serena, how... how did you get here?" Raquel approached me as she was being pulled back to her place by Auntie Elizabeth."Who do you think you are to step foot in this place?! You're so shameless, aren't you?! Leave! Get out of here!!"She was about to come at me, but Ezekiel's men quickly positioned themselves to block her and prevent her from doing anything."Sorry, she was instructed by our boss to stay with us," one of them said with confidence."You Heskel's servants again! Always controlling me! Disgusting! You have no right to stop me because you're not in your territory, you peasants!""Mom!" Raquel immediately stopped her. "You don't have to say things like that. Restrain yourself.""Well, it's because..." she calmed down slightly. "No matter what, your brother never stops irritating me! He'll probably only stop when I'm attacked and my heart gives out!""Please don't say something like that, mom.""Well, if you don't want that to happen, get rid of this woman in front of me
