Elise's Point of ViewHe must be pretty exhausted from work. I am taking a glance at him from time to time to check if he was still okay. Luckily, I was able to track our destination through GPS. I sighed heavily. I don't want to be attached to anyone anymore but I don't know why I am suddenly feeling this way toward him.My past is telling me to trust no one. I know bullets are on their way to my head but I will try to avoid that bullet from being buried deep inside me. I will escape because that's the only way to survive.Having been accused of killing someone for years is still vague to me. I didn't do it. Years ago. I was living with my foster parents. Serving them to lessen the burden I have been feeling. The guilt that they had to raise me and spend some money on me. I had to do all the jobs. I had to do it to save myself from drowning in the sea of guilt but...I don't know what happened. I don't know how it ended up with blood swimming on the floor. I don't know how it happ
Elise's Point of View"Don't worry, I came prepared," he whispered.I was lost for a moment. What? What was he saying? I made sure that my mask is still hanging tightly on my face before I turn around to face him. And there, I saw him... Closing his eyes with a piece of the blindfold in his hand. "Cover my sinful eyes, baby," he stated. I was left dumbfounded. "What?" I can help but voice it out. I get what he meant by that but... "I promise not to look at you so you won't feel uncomfortable. Now, cover my eyes, baby."I don't exactly know why he came up with this idea. I can't help but gave him my sweetest smile even though he can't see it. "Silly," I muttered. I snatched the blindfold from his hand and reached for his eyes to cover it. Who would have thought that this gentleman right here can be this sweet and thoughtful?"I am just respecting you, babe."We are still naked in front of each other and I can't help but notice his muscular torso. His huge buddy in between that ton
Elise's Point of View"You must be joking right now," I said. I couldn't collect myself from what he said. Out of nowhere, why did he say those words? It is not even hot but I am trying to fan myself using my hands. It's just unbelievable. His face tells me he is serious about it and I wanted to run right now. I wanted to hide from him. I wanted to disappear. What is happening?"I am serious...""But..." I couldn't even construct a sentence. I couldn't tell him directly that even though I liked him, it is not going any deeper than liking, admiring, or what you call it. "I said, I'm up for hook up, Mr. Lauren, but I don't want a relationship with my client," I said, trying to explain to him what I have always wanted from the start.I couldn't find any other words to explain things to him and just straight said what I wanted to say because he knows it and he agreed."I understand and I know. Jared will process the payment for you on this vacation. I shall take my leave."What? After sa
Kristoff's Point of View"Did she accept the car?" I asked Jared first things first when I saw him walking towards me. I spotted him with someone when he came in but I didn't mind it. "Gotta scare her first before doing the deal," he casually said."What did you do?" I asked him, calmly. I know Jared and I trust whatever he did before making her accept that gift. He took a sip of my drink. He smirked at me and winked. "Not a biggie... Just keep your nose out of it," he replied. He eyed the woman sitting on my lap.I tapped the woman's back. Making her go away. Jared asked me to meet here and that woman specifically went to me after I sat down. I don't want to throw her and just let her do what she wants to do."What exactly did you do? You should have a proper plan before confessing, man!" "Shut up!" He just laughed at me and nodded. I don't want to talk about it. I know I was wrong. I don't want to blame her for my recklessness. That question suddenly came out of my mouth. It was
Amidst the long day that is full of work, I still have the chance to look at the beautiful sun that is setting down slowly. There is so much work to do and I can't go home. I guess I have to spend another night in this room full of papers and another night to be stressed.I stretched out my hands. I took off the reading glass I am wearing to relax my eyes a bit. I heard a light knock on the door. I put my reading glass back on. A few seconds later the door opened. I focus my sight on the paper. I firmly hold it in my left hand while my right hand automatically gets a hold of the pen near to it. "Good afternoon, Mr. Lauren. The meeting is about to start, sir. They are all waiting for you," Jared reported. The meeting slipped out of my mind. I almost forgot that I still have to deal with my grandfather who wants nothing but to make me marry a woman who has a son already. I don't know what's gotten into him for giving me a marriage full of fucking trash.“They? Shouldn’t that be him on
Just like what she said. She let me enjoy the night but she was clinging to my arm, all night. She told me her name and it took me by surprise when her name triggered the woman I wouldn’t want to remember yet I kept on looking for.“I am so-sorry.” The glass on my hand slipped. The sound of shattered glass echoed the place. Coincidentally, the music stopped playing which made the people turn at us. “Are you okay?” Elise asked. She immediately held my hand, checking if I was hurt. She is a bit tipsy from the glasses of alcohol she just had but the concerned voice envelops her. I looked at the woman, lowering her head down as she keeps on saying sorry to me. “What happened?” Jared asked. Looking at me then turn his head at the woman who keeps on saying sorry. “Just an accident,” I casually said. Wiping off Elise’s tear. I don’t know what happened that made her cry. I can hear the unclear voices of people talking. I stood up and look at Jared. “Take care of her. I will just answer thi
"Let's head back," I said to Theo. My voice sounds so disappointed at something and I can't stop being disappointed at how my grandfather can do that to me. "What's wrong?" I worriedly asked him when I saw him winched. "Nothing, sir. Just having a migraine but don't worry. I can hold it. These are your clothes." I got the paper bag from his hand before closing the door for him. I took my time taking a bath because I already know my grandfather is mad at me. There's no need to be cautious with time already. The smell of the strong flavor of soap spreads through my body. I looked at myself in the small mirror and stop to look at the scar on my body. I quickly looked away when some memories started to appear. "Let's stop by for a coffee," I told Theo and looked at the opened cafe. As expected, many people are dining in. I was lucky enough to get a table. I looked at Theo ordering coffee for us. My eyes wondered at the people. Some are just casually sitting while taking a sip from the
Five years ago…“Hi, gentleman.”I looked at where the fine voice came from. She is standing next to me while holding a glass of vodka in her hand. Shaking it a bit while staring at me, giving me her best seductive smile. I just smirk and pulled her. She gasped. “Surprised?” I naughtily asked.I didn’t wait for her response and kissed her immediately. My hand slowly snaked on her tiny waist while the other hand was searching for her drink. When I found it, I slowly put it on the table. “I guess, you don’t need this already,” I whispered near her ear.I bit my lower lip, stopping myself to make a move in such a public place. “Let’s find a room,” I whispered again. I heard her chuckle before nodding at me.She stood up and then turned her head at me. “You looked so fucking hot and handsome at the same time,” she said using her flirty voice. I just give her a smirk and held her hand before she pulled me out of the club.When we were outside the club, I saw her immediately pressing the ke
