《Suddenly Married》


 Chapter 1 Crush

    Beth is restless as she periodically nces at her ssmates who are busy doing their science experiments.


    She rummaged through the contents of her bag again, though she had just finished looking through all her eight notebooks. But still, she couldn¡¯t find what she was looking for.


    She sighed heavily. She felt terrible problematic and tired. She just sat there the whole time, but its as if she was in a physical education ss, doing some jumping jacks.


    She felt tired just by searching inside her bag. She have checked the pockets too, multiple times but she really couldn¡¯t find it. She¡¯s physically and mentally tired.


    For thest time, she search through her things again.


    She looked at her books. Even though she couldn¡¯t let that thing get stuck in there, she still looked for it in there carefully with the hope that she will find that thing.


    Frustratingly, she messed up her hair. She was already feeling annoyed at the same time.


    She wanted to scream with so much annoyance.


    She sighed again, stressful this time. Her heart was beating so fast and her palms were sweating as well. She¡¯s too worried now, nervous and frustrated as well. sses will end sooner, so she had to find it no matter what.


    ¡°Where are you?¡± she murmured. Mentally she kept on remembering what she had done this morning and thought of where she had gone the entire day.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    She went to the bathroom this noon, but she went there empty handed. She went to the school canteen to buy some fruit juice during lunch time and she just took her small coin pursed when she went there.


    She was already feeling very anxious. What if someone would have found it?


    IN THEIR final subject that afternoon, her mind was preupied. Different thoughts keep on bothering her. She learned nothing from her lessons. Good thing the teacher didn¡¯t give them a seat work. She just discussed.


    At a young age, her brain was busy imagining various frightening scenarios.


    This is not a normal day for a girl like her. The normal day for her was to secretly keep an eye on Kian.


    Kian was the most handsome and attractive boy in their whole school. He has a long and thick eyshes, pointed nose and thin red lips. He has a very nice smile that could melt every girls at their age. Kian have a deep dimples.


    Ever since the boy transferred at their school, when they were only in the fourth grade, he never left Beth¡¯s mind. Kian even visit him in her dreams. Oh, her dream boy! He was her first crush or puppy love as everyone would describe it.


    She came back to her senses and was even slightly surprised, when the bell rang. With her thoughts drowning in the depths of the sea, she didn¡¯t realized that their ss was over. Their teacher is now leaving the ssroom. Her ssmates are busy arranging their things and ready for going home or others would stay a little longer for some errands.


    She reluctantly arranged her belongings inside her bag. When she¡¯s done, she begin to search again in every corner of their ssroom, with the hope of finding it now.


    She felt like she have lost in a game when she can¡¯t find it. She¡¯s praying that she just left it in their house, and that she didn¡¯t lost it like what she¡¯s been thinking.


    She decided to leave their ssroom and wanted to hurry home to search for it in there. Kian was leaving the room too.


    He nced at her and smile timidly. In an instant, all her frustration disappeared. With a smile from the boy she admires, everything light up. She had temporarily forgotten that she have lost something valuable.


    She was surprised when she arrived at the gate of their school and could not see his father, who always pick her up every afternoon.


    ¡°Beth,e with us. Your dad asked me to pick you up,¡± Kian¡¯s father said.


    Beth smiled and nodded many times. Kian¡¯s house was just acrossed the street in front of their house. It won¡¯t be a bother if they take the girl home with them.


    ¡°You seat next to Kian at the back seat,¡± Kian¡¯s father said. Beth¡¯s heart leaped with joy. Not only she¡¯ll be with Kian while going home but she¡¯ll also be sitting next to him. What a lucky day for her.


    ¡°Even if Daddy doesn¡¯t pick me up every day, it¡¯s okay,¡± she said to herself as she restrained from giggling because of the thoughts she has in mind.


    Kian¡¯s father assists her as she gets into the car. He also put her bag in the trunk before getting into the driver¡¯s seat and start to drive.


    She and Kian are now sitting with just inches apart. Kian had a headphone plugged into his ear and the music was at full volume. She can also hear the music clearly.


    Beth felt a thrill inside her. Being with Kian now. It was okay and was even better if her father will not pick her up at school anymore.


    He noticed Kian remove the headphones. He nced at her and gave her a boyish smile. Her heart jumped. She can even felt blood rushing to her face.


    Kian opened his bag and pick up something inside it. He pulled out two pieces of chocte bar. The young man smiled at her before handling her the chocte bar without saying any word.


    Beth was surprised and did not move immediately. She can¡¯t believe that Kian would gave her a chocte. For Beth, it was like a miracle had happened.


    She immediately reached out for the chocte that Kian was giving her. She smiled and thanked him.


    Kian just nodded.


    After that, Kian put on the headphones again. And she on the other hand, was just about to hug the two chocte bars she was holding now.


    Secretly, Kian is ncing at Beth every minute. He even let a sweet smile after seeing Beth¡¯s reaction earlier.


    ¡°She¡¯s so cute,¡± he said to his mind.

 Chapter 2 Love letter

    ¡°Thank you,¡± Beth shyly thanked Kian¡¯s daddy. She simply turned her gaze to Kian who went straight to their gate, and didn¡¯t even bother to bid goodbye to her.


    Kian¡¯s daddy just nodded and smiled as a response.


    Beth immediately walked to their house just the opposite opportunity of Kian¡¯s house.


    The moment she entered their house, made her remember the thing she¡¯s been looking for the entire day.


    ¡°I¡¯m already here!¡± she shouted then she went straight to her room. She dropped her bag on her bed and immediately explored her study table near the window.


    ¡°Where are you now?¡± she asked as she looked at the small drawers one by one.


    ¡°Nothing!¡± she screamed sharply. She already tweaked her hair out of frustration. She then approached her bedside table. Unfortunately, she found nothing.


    She searched on her bed. Under the pillow, even under her mattress and under the bed but still nothing.


    She had searched everything but still, nothing. Her eyes widened when something went through her mind. Could her mama have seen it firsthand?


    Without hesitation, she hurriedly walks her way to her mother in the kitchen, busy cooking for dinner.


    ¡°Mom!¡± she called her.


    ¡°Yes, dear, what¡¯s up?¡± her mother asked her while chopping the vegetables.


    Beth scratched her head a little. She felt nervous, undecided if she would continue to ask her mother.


    ¡°Did you see any pink paper?¡± she asked his mother with crossed fingers at her back.


    Her mother stopped for a moment and gave her a look that made her more nervous.


    ¡°Pink paper?¡±


    Beth nodded and averted her gaze. ¡°Yeah, a scented paper.¡±


    Her mother shook her head. ¡°I did not see anything.¡±


    Beth nodded and was about to turn around when her mother talk again.


    ¡°Maybe you¡¯re not looking for a love letter,¡± she said that making Beth¡¯s eyes widen. She shook her head gently.


    ¡°Okay,¡± her mother said. ¡°You¡¯re too young to exchange love letters, okay?¡±


    Beth nodded, ¡°Yes, Mom.¡±


    When the morninges¡­


    Beth¡¯s ssmates were so noisy as she entered their ssroom. Laughing and some are screaming.


    She sighed and walked to her assigned seat. When her ssmates noticed her, they suddenly fell silent. And just a few secondster the noise came back again. She just ignored them. She went straight to her seat because it was only a few minutes and their ss was about to start.


    She looked around and noticed that Kian was not yet in his seat. She opened her bag and pulled out her notebook. They have an assignment in their first ss this morning.


    While she was busy, silence again enveloped the whole room. And in a moment Beth¡¯s attention waspletely taken away.


    ¡°Kian, do you know I had a crush on you for a long time.¡±


    Beth¡¯s eyes widened when she heard her male ssmate Alden. The pink paper she has been looking for since yesterday is now in the hands of her ssmate. The whole ss shuddered. Alden hushed them so he could continue reading. As usual, Kian ignored them, thinking it was just a nonsense matter. He went straight to his seat.


    Beth didn¡¯t know what to do. She didn¡¯t know if she should yell at them. She was wriggled down on her seat. She bent down her head as her fist clenched tightly.


    ¡°It was summer and the sunshine was so beautiful. I was outside our house watering the nts when a car stopped in front of our house, ¡± Alden continued reading what was written on the pink paper. Her ssmates were already in amotion.


    ¡°Who wrote that?¡± others asked but Alden onlyughed at them.


    ¡°That¡¯s where I first saw you. You¡¯re wearing a red marvel t-shirt. You¡¯re so handsome in your outfit. I felt that you¡¯re my hero who will rescue me against monsters.¡±


    Beth couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. She stood up and quickly approached Alden who was in front and holding her letter. She was about to grab it but Alden avoided his hand and justugh at her.


    ¡°Oh, why?¡± Alden asked her smiling.


    ¡°Stop that. That¡¯s mine!¡±


    ¡°Why, Beth? Do you own that?¡± asked one of their ssmates who was immediately followed by the other. Beth was taken aback and did not answer.


    They have already started screaming. Something made Beth¡¯s face blush. But she ignored it. She turned to Alden again and thetter justughed.


    ¡°Give me that!¡± Beth shouts out loud.


    Instead of giving it to her, Alden just continued reading.


    ¡°I look at you out of my window every day. I think I love you, Kian.¡± Beth¡¯s face turned red now. Ashamed, nervous, and anger filled her being.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    ¡°Love, Beth,¡± Alden read thest part of Beth¡¯s letter.


    ¡°What can you say, Kian?¡± Alden turned to Kian and asked him who is now also had a red face.


    Kian did not know if it was because of embarrassment or because of anger toward Beth for letting him involved in this embarrassing moment.


    Kian walked quickly out of their ssroom. Beth¡¯s anger rose even more. She could feel like smoke already in her ear and nose stuff in annoyance for Alden.


    The love letter is a personal matter and should not be exposed publicly. Alden doesn¡¯t have the right to reveal her letter to Kian.


    Yet only Kian should read it.


    ¡°I hate you! I hate you!¡± Beth shouted at Alden.


    Since then, Kian ignored her. Not even a nce did heid on her.


    Even if they are neighbors there is not a single chance that they will even be able to talk again.


    Beth thought that perhaps his anger against her was high than the heavens. So, she decided to just ignore it.


    They were now both in high school and still attended the same school. She knew very well that Kian is a certified yboy and changes girlfriends like changing clothes.


    As Kian grows older, he bes even more handsome. Beth tried to ignore and just forget about Kian.

 Chapter 3 My woman

    BETH¡¯S POV


    ¡°Hi, old maid!¡± my ssmates teased.


    Today is the first day of ss. I¡¯m in my second year in college, but they still haven¡¯t changed their treatment of me.


    They are no longer fed up with the bullying they have been doing to me. That they grew up and used to call me names in a negative way.


    I¡¯m also used to that. At first, I was still crying when they started to bully me. Butter on, I just ignored them.


    Until our first year of college, nothing new. But I learned to fight them. I don¡¯t indulge in fistfights but I show them that I¡¯m not happy with what they¡¯re doing. I just rolled my eyes at them and even looked at them in a scary way.


    And the initiator? Kian.


    His day would not beplete without seeing me bullied or criticized.


    He seems to be a baby that was not being cared for. Not knowing he also had a mother and made fun with helpless girls.


    And what¡¯s even more annoying is that I¡¯m the only one he¡¯s having fun with. he was handsome, yes, and he was a fantasy of every woman.


    He doesn¡¯t have a serious rtionship but he has a lot of flings. We have been in the same ss since elementary. We had never been close, and we didn¡¯t pay attention to each other either. But when we entered high school, he started bullying me and the others.


    That¡¯s why I always sit in the farthest seat in the ssroom to avoid any bullying. When I¡¯m in front of them they will throw papers or whatever at me.


    I sat on the sofa when I got home. As usual, I was alone again. Mom and Dad are in the province to take care of their poultry business.


    I had closed my eyes for a few minutes when my cellphone rang. I smiled when I saw who the caller was.


    ¡°Dave,¡± I said cheerfully as I answered the call.


    ¡°Hey,¡± he replied. His voice is really handsome. I¡¯ve been chatting and calling Dave for five months. I met him once when I was at a party my cousin attended.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡± he asked.


    ¡°Sitting, just got home from school. Alone and bored,¡± Izily answered with a sigh.


    ¡°Mind if I join you there?¡±


    I smiled at what he said.


    ¡°Hmmm,¡± I only said.


    ¡°Be there in fifteen minutes.¡±


    I was surprised by what he said.


    ¡°Seriously?¡± I stood up and felt excitement.


    ¡°Yeah, if you want me to.¡±


    ¡°O-Of course. You are wee here,¡± I replied nervously.


    When he dropped the call I quickly went into the bathroom to take a shower. Just as I came out of the bathroom, I heard the doorbell ring. I didn¡¯t even bother to wear clothes. I immediately headed for the door to open it for Dave.


    ¡°Hi,¡± he greeted while lifting his food and wine. I opened the door widely so he could get in.


    When hended what he brought on the center table, he immediately grabbed me with a kiss. I smiled and immediately responded to his kisses.


    I like Dave. I have also been able to call him for a long time and often talk to him online. He¡¯s kind and sweet. He¡¯s perfect to be my boyfriend.


    He stroked me on my back down to my waist. My one hand gripped his jaw while the other hand gripped his shoulder tightly. I hear his sexy moan when I gently bit his lower lip. He hugged me even tighter and caressed my shoulder and arm.


    He is a good kisser. I have nothing topare with because he is still the first man I have ever kissed. But as my body heated, I knew for sure that he has a lot of experience in kissing girls.


    I hugged him tightly as we continued our passionate kiss. I was relieved when he caressed my waist.


    ¡°Ah!¡± I moaned as his kiss went down to my jaw, down to my neck. I¡¯m getting hot.


    I immediately touched the hem of his t-shirt as he continued to give a warm kiss on my neck as his warm hands caressed my skin. He stopped on what he was doing and looked at me with longing. I smiled at him. He was about to take off his shirt when my cellphone rang.


    Dave and I looked at each other. I didn¡¯t want to pay any more attention to the call but Dave told me to answer the call. He smiled and give me a peck on the lips.


    My cellphone stopped ringing but it rings again. Izily approached the phone to answer the call. Maybe it¡¯s my parents and I¡¯ll just say hello.


    ¡°Hello,¡± I said as I answered my phone. No one answered immediately on the other line so I¡¯m sure it wasn¡¯t my Mom or Dad.


    ¡°Hello,¡± I repeated.


    ¡°I¡¯m watching an exciting show, right now,¡± he said on the other line. I know that voice. It¡¯s Kian.


    I blinked. Heughed which annoyed me. I hung up the phone when I was stunned by what he said next. I was too shocked. My heart beats faster because of what he said.


    I could not answer immediately.


    ¡°Hmm. The nerd and her video scandal,¡± he said sarcastically.


    No! This can¡¯t be.


    ¡°What do you want,¡± I answeredzily and did not let him know that I¡¯m in fear and nervous right now.


    ¡°First, I want you to send your boy away.¡± What? I turned to Dave who was sitting on the couch. There was a smile on his lips as he looked at me.


    ¡°What else?¡± I asked but he dropped the call. I held the phone tightly because of the annoyance I was feeling.


    ¡°Are you, okay?¡± Dave asked.


    ¡°Ah, yeah. I¡¯m sorry, Dave. It looks like you can¡¯t stay overnight. I¡¯m going to my aunt¡¯s house, ¡± I expertly lied.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± he said and nodded. He stood up and approached me. He grabbed me with a kiss again.


    I had to respond and I didn¡¯t know if I would push him but I was very grateful when the phone rang again. Dave stopped and smiled at me. He stroked my cheek. I never answered the call and let Kian get bored on the other line.


    When Dave left I leaned against the wall. I feel weak. I was shocked to notice that the window was not very closed. That¡¯s why we¡¯re caught kissing.


    The phone rang again. I didn¡¯t answer it so I felt annoyed when he called my phone and cellphone at the same time.


    ¡°What do you need?¡± I asked irritated.


    ¡°Come here,¡± he said and turned off the call. I rolled my eyes andzily entered my room to get dressed.


    I rang the doorbell of his house twice. I was bored standing here outside their door while waiting for him to open it for me. Finally, Kian, naked, opened the door. I looked away but I was able to fully saw his abs.


    I heard her grin. He suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me into their house.


    ¡°What the heck! Why do you even have to touch me?¡± I said irritated.


    ¡°Nerd,¡± he said and I just frowned.


    ¡°Why did you ask me toe here?¡± I asked and looked at him seriously.


    He looked at me with his goofy aura so I was stunned. ¡°Don¡¯t show me that kind of attitude. Be good, or I expose your video,¡± he threatened.


    I sighed. I could already imagine myself walking across the campus while students were feasting on my scandal exposed by Kian.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    This is not possible. I might be suspended from school.


    ¡°What do you want me to do in exchange for deleting the video?¡± I asked and hide my fear. Though I¡¯m afraid of what he might ask me to do. Maybe he nned to enve me.


    ¡°Be my woman,¡± he replied. I almost choked with my own saliva after hearing those from him.


    What did he say? He wants me to be his woman? Why me?


    I was being called an old woman and I was being bullied by him, then why ask me to be his woman?


    Hmmm. I may have misunderstood it. There are only two possible meanings of what he said.


    Woman as in girlfriend.


    Or woman as in, his sex ve.


    We were both fell silent. I want him to rify what he said. But a few minutester he just kept staring at me.


    ¡°What does your woman do?¡± I asked.


    He grinned and looked at me as he raised an eyebrow.


    I averted my eyes from him. I silently cursed myself for what I am thinking right now.


    I think, he¡¯ll be the one who will get my virginity.

 Chapter 4 Hot kisses

    I found myself answering Kian¡¯s fiery kisses. And I feel weird as I savor his kisses and caresses. My heart is beating fast. Butterflies were flying in my stomach. My body aches for his touch.


    Damn!


    I was relieved when he gently stroked my chest. His hand was already inside my dress as he gently caressed my chest while my bra is still on.


    ¡°Aahh,¡± I muttered. It¡¯s like I want to be ashamed of myself. Why do I feel this way? Why do I enjoy his caresses and kisses? We¡¯re not even on good terms, for Pete¡¯s sakes!


    He leaned me against the wall of his room. We gasped for air as he let go of my lips.


    He stared into my eyes for a moment then grabbed me again with a kiss. He quickly took off all my clothes, I was naked in front of him. He watched my nakedness.


    I can see lust and excitement in his eyes. Never thought that I can be in a situation like this with Kian.


    ¡°Turn around,¡± hemanded. I swallowed and slowly turned my back on him.


    He parted my legs. My heartbeats quickened. I was sweating and felt scared at the same time. This is my first time and he should take it gently.


    Is he going to take me from behind?


    ¡°W-Wait, ahmm¡­¡± What I was going to say was cut off and reced with a growl in response to what he was doing to my womanhood.


    He was on his knees as he caressed my ass while one of his hands caressed and yed with my womanhood.


    ¡°Oh¡­ ¡± I moaned when I felt his tongue on my bud. He is flickering it with his tongue while his finger is slowly sliding inside my core.


    ¡°Ah!¡± It hurts. It¡¯s just a finger but it hurts.


    He suddenly stopped what he was doing. I felt him stand up and face me to him. Not a word was heard from him. He stares at me with mixed emotions and I can¡¯t exin what are those.


    Is he wondering why I¡¯m still a virgin?


    ¡°You¡¯re a virgin, huh?¡± he said. There was no sarcasm in his tone. Not like when we were at school, teasing or bullying me.


    He gently pulled me onto his bed andid me down. He parted my thighs. He started to lick me again down there.


    ¡°Ah!¡± He was so good at romancing that I cried a lot. I rubbed my hips as I tugged his hair to give him even more pressure.


    ¡°Like it?¡± he asked. He was looking at me. I nodded and I moaned even more as he inserted his hardened tongue into my womanhood.


    ¡°Aaah.¡± I didn¡¯t know where I was going to hold because of the extravagant feeling caused by the sensation he was doing to me.


    He expertly licks, nips, and flickers his tongue. He slowly slides one finger inside my womanhood again. It was a bit painful but soon enough it gives me a pleasuring feeling.


    ¡°Ahhh, I¡¯m c-cumming.¡± I met every thrust of his finger as I convulsed with great pleasure.


    I felt satisfied and at the same time, a bit exhausted. I wanted to close my eyes and sleep but I was again aroused when Kian starts to shower my skin with feathery kisses.


    He kisses and licks me from my thighs, my belly till he reaches my breast. My womanhood started to get wet again.


    He licks and sucks my breast. My nipples hardened. He then started to suck my nipples like a baby.


    ¡°Aahh, so good, Kian,¡± I moaned.


    He alternately sucks the peaks of my breast. He hugged me and then kiss me on my lips again.


    I answered his kisses aggressively.


    ¡°Ready?¡± he asked between our kisses.


    ¡°Hmm,¡± I answered him with a moan.


    I can feel the tip of his manhood on my wet entrance. It tickles.


    He slowly thrust his shaft trying to be gentle. But it didn¡¯t help at all. It was so painful.


    ¡°Argh.¡± I was devastated by the severe pain. My tears dripped, I almost sobbed at the pain like my womanhood got torn apart.


    ¡°Be patient. Inhale,¡± he ordered which I immediately did. I gripped his back tightly as he thrust again and buried the entirety of his penis.


    I sobbed.


    ¡°Ssssh¡­ I will not move until the pain subsides,¡± he said softly. He kissed me on my forehead, on my nose, and my mouth.


    He kissed me slowly, passionately like we were lovers. He caressed my body, my chest. He yed with my nipples which gradually relieved the pain I was feeling.


    ¡°Ohhhh.¡± The pain has subsided. I have aroused again.


    It was great.


    I barely moved my hip. He looked at me silently so I did it again.


    That was my signal. He started to thrush in and out. Gentle and slow.


    ¡°Ohh, yes!¡±


    ¡°Ah! So tight, baby,¡± he groaned. That¡¯s when he started to thrust deeper.


    ¡°Ahmm¡­¡± I gasped. He groaned and started to move even faster.


    I moaned and screamed in pleasure as I convulsed for the second time. Few more deep and hard thrusts, he reached his climax. There was a minute of silence until I realize something. I barely pushed him away. He looked at me with surprise as I covered my mouth.


    No!


    ¡°We didn¡¯t use protection!¡± I looked at him. He was shocked when he realized what I said.


    ¡°You can¡¯t get pregnant especially when it¡¯s your first time,¡± he said. I was quiet and deep in thought.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    What if I get pregnant?


    ¡°Tsss. Trust me,¡± he said. Should I trust him? He was my bully. Plus he ckmailed me to have sex with him.


    I heard him sigh. He got up and went to the bathroom here in his room. I fell silent. Thinking of the miracles that happened today.


    When he came out of the bathroom, I also went to the bathroom to clean up and get dressed.


    I sighed and faced the mirror. I gasped as I saw the red marks on my neck, on my chest, and stomach.


    After cleaning my body and putting on my clothes, I quietly went out of the bathroom. Kian sat on the bed and looked straight at me.


    He motioned for me to approach him. I was hesitant but I still did.


    ¡°I ordered food,¡± he said.


    Is this how he treats his woman? It was as if he¡¯s not my number one bully and had suddenly be kind to me.

 Chapter 5 Found out

    I stayed in his house overnight. We stay awakete at night having fun and moaning each other¡¯s names. I think we fell asleep in the morning.


    The next morning we went to university together. He apanied me to his car. He opened the car door for me as we reached the university parking lot.


    Other students looked at us as we walked. Frowning and there was astonishment on their faces as they stared at us. It seemed wrong in their eyes that Kian and I were together now.


    That¡¯s really wrong.


    This day doesn¡¯t seem normal to me either. No one tried to bully me. Especially the cheerleaders who often stone me with crumpled papers. I smiled to myself. Not that bad either. The perks of being Kian¡¯s woman.


    Kian drove me to the door of my first subject. We won¡¯t be in the same ss in my major subjects because we have different courses.


    My ssmates fell silent when they saw me. They did notugh at me and did not say insulting words. The ss was quiet until lunch break came. I went to the cafeteria.


    Maybe I can eat peacefully now. I didn¡¯t make my lunch this morning like I used to do.


    I always eat alone under the Mahogany tree. I don¡¯t have any friends to eat with. When I eat in the canteen, no one wants to share a table with me. I feel like a virus to them.


    I was able to buy food without anyone trying to talk to me. I was also free to sit at a table to eat there.


    The surroundings are quiet. Only the noises of the spoon can be heard. But after a few minutes, the canteen became noisy. A group of cheerleaders will enter the canteen. I gasped especially when they looked in my direction.


    ¡°How were you yesterday?¡± one of them asked me when they were in front of me. I didn¡¯t answer instead I continued to eat my food.


    ¡°Is it fun?¡± I don¡¯t know what they¡¯re talking about. I breathed heavily, relieved when they left and sat at the other table.


    I was finishing my meal when Kian¡¯s group entered. His friends looked in my direction. My heart beats faster as they smiled at me. They stepped over to where I was.


    ¡°How are you? Did Kian make your body sore?¡± A friend of his asked me.


    The other students gasped when they heard what this man asked me. Others who were curious and wanted to gossip even approached us. My eyes widened and I looked at Kian who was just silent and looked at the others.


    ¡°I still thought you wouldn¡¯t hit Kian because you¡¯re conservative. I lost the bet,¡± he said andughed softly.


    My eyes dimmed because of the tears that are starting to pour out of my eyes. I can¡¯t believe what I¡¯ve just heard and looked at Kian. I stared at him with questions in my eyes.


    ¡°You ckmailed me so that you can bed me. For what? For money?¡± I bravely asked him.


    The video of Dave and me kissing is not a big deal, but I and Kian was a big hit! It will definitely spread throughout the university that Kian got me.


    I approached Kian. ¡°The video is mine, delete the video!¡± I shouted at him.


    ¡°There¡¯s no video,¡± he replied and making me shocked even more.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    I quickly ced my palm on his cheek for a p. I looked at him sharply and then marched out of the canteen. I can¡¯t believe I fell so easily into his trap.


    ¡°I like you. Ever since in high school, I like you. You¡¯re so weird that I¡¯m teasing you so you can notice me.¡±


    Those words.


    I believed.


    I believed in his lies.


    I restrained myself from sobbing. When I got out of the gate, there was already a taxi. I can¡¯t go in anymore in my sses. I can¡¯t endure this any longer. I don¡¯t know but I thought maybe Kian and I had a sex video. I can¡¯t really stand the embarrassment if there is and it will spread throughout the university.


    When I got home I saw Mom and Dad¡¯s car parked outside the house. I wiped away the tears first and made sure I looked good before I entered the house.


    ¡°Mom, Dad,¡± I greeted them warmly. I kissed their cheeks. I can¡¯t see any happiness in their eyes so I felt worried.


    ¡°Ahm, I feel bad so I went home.¡± I excused myself even though they hadn¡¯t asked me.


    ¡°Who was the man who came here yesterday,¡± Mom asked seriously. Dad was just quiet but you could see on his face that he was angry.


    ¡°D-Dave please,¡± I replied. What scares me is if Kian just fooled me by saying we didn¡¯t have a video of Dave. Then that video reached already to my parents.


    I feel I¡¯m going sick.


    ¡°Okay, so why did you go to Kian¡¯s house and sleep there? Do you have a rtionship? What did you two do? How long have you been doing such a thing?¡± Mom asked simultaneously as her tone got higher and higher.


    She almost had to strike me with whatever she could pick up.


    ¡°M-Mommy,¡± I called to her in a tearful tone. How can I tell them?


    ¡°Answer me, Beth,¡± Mommy¡¯s authoritative voice made me feel fear even more.


    ¡°L-Last night was the f-first time,¡± I replied scared. I close my eyes in embarrassment. My God!


    I waited for them to say more, but Mom said nothing. I turned my gaze to Dad in shock as he stood up violently. I was terrified of what he might do to me, because I can see his reaction now.


    ¡°I can¡¯t allow my only child to be aggravated,¡± he said. My eyes widened.


    What does Dad mean? Will he imprison Kian? But I am neen and no longer a minor. I was not raped. And if I say that he ckmailed me but I thought I don¡¯t have any evidence. The victim¡¯s statement is stronger when he or she is a minor.


    We followed Dad as he left the house. I thought he was in the car straight away but he went to Kian¡¯s house.


    Oh no!

 Chapter 6 Married

    I fell silent and bowed my head as I sat here on Kian¡¯s couch. I am sitting in between my mother and father.


    ¡°My daughter is a girl. I can¡¯t ept that Kian isn¡¯t responsible for her,¡± daddy said.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    Mommy caresses his arm to calm him down. I was crying and there was only one thing in my mind. Daddy wanted Kian to marry me. I will be Kian¡¯s wife. But Kian, will he agree? I know he will deny everything. The worst is if he runs away.


    Kian¡¯s parents fell into silence. I can¡¯t predict if his daddy is angry. But her mommy was just smiling and calm. We heard the arrival of Kian¡¯s car. My heartbeat quickened and my palms are sweating.


    When the door opened I bowed my head even more. I can¡¯t look at Kian. Yes, he did wrong against me and I am angry with him. Today¡¯s case has been overshadowed by the new problem we are facing. Unlucky, isn¡¯t it?


    Kian sat down on the single couch. I heard Daddy clear his throat.


    ¡°You have a rtionship, why are you keeping it a secret from us?¡± Kian¡¯s mother asked.


    I wanted to talk but I kept my mouth shut because if I tell the truth, the issue would get bigger and it¡¯ll just getplicated. It would cost so much trouble.


    And also, I want to know what will Kian tell. Will he deny it or will he say what really happened?


    ¡°You have to marry our daughter,¡± daddy said bluntly. I think my heart rate doubled.


    What about Kian? Can¡¯t he at least talk? Instead, I heard him sigh.


    ¡°Beth, is it okay to you to marry me?¡± he asked.


    This time I lifted my face and looked at him with a questioning look. Why is he asking me?


    And in his reactions, there¡¯s no hint that his against of what Daddy wants to happen. I didn¡¯t answer Kian¡¯s question and looked down again.


    ¡°I will marry your daughter. I¡¯m going to marry Beth,¡± Kian said to my father seriously. He didn¡¯t stutter or even sound scared, he was pressured and but didn¡¯t soundpelled.


    There were a few minutes of silence. His mommy was the first one to break the silence.


    ¡°I am happy for you, son. Wee to the family, Beth,¡± her mommy whispered happily.


    ¡°So, how¡¯s their wedding? What do you want to your wedding, Beth?¡± his daddy asked.


    He is already smiling and no longer serious. It seems like they just epted everything easily. They are still happy. My daddy insisted on Kian marrying me, but it looks like he failed.


    Yeah, because I¡¯m a failure.


    ¡°They¡¯ll have first a civil wedding before the church wedding.¡±


    ¡°All right, I¡¯ll call the judge I know right away,¡± his mother said and picked up her cellphone. She then went out to call the judge she knew.


    Kian and I got married right away. We just followed our parents¡¯ orders and don¡¯t argue anymore.


    By nightfall, I¡¯ll sleep with Kian in his room. We still haven¡¯t said a word to each other. Besides, the shocking incident, he did something wrong to me. The girl he ckmailed and the girl they y a bet on is now his wife.


    Everything happened so fast.


    I am now here in his bathroom. I dried my wet body and get dressed. When I came out of the bathroom, Kian was already lying on the bed. He looked at me. He watched my every move. It¡¯s ufortable but I need to get used to it. I don¡¯t know how long we will stay married.


    We will still attend school even if we¡¯re married. Maybe if we already have a job in the future after we graduated college and earned money on our own, we¡¯ll file an annulment and separate ways for good. Now that we are still dependent on our parents and have no money on our own, we should obey every word that they will say.


    ¡°Why did you agree to marry me?¡± he asked as I sat next to him. I shrugged. Didn¡¯t he see the reactions of my daddy and mommy after they found out about us sleeping together? As if they want toy their hands on me.


    ¡°You? Why did you consent to it?¡± I asked him instead of answering his question.


    He shrugged. Whatever his reasons are, I¡¯m sure we¡¯re both in the same boat. Just obeying our parents.


    He sighed. I went to bed and ignored him. I lied down and was surprised when he leaned over and faced me.


    ¡°I am sorry,¡± he said to my surprise. But instead of rejoicing at his apology, I felt angry. I let out a heavy sigh.


    ¡°You¡¯re sorry? You¡¯re sorry about ying on me? Made a bet out of fun? You¡¯re sorry you ckmailed me?¡± I asked him in disgust and even stared into his eyes.


    ¡°I am sorry if I have to ckmail you, so you just can notice me.¡±


    I was confused by what he said but I did not say a word and just wait for what he will say next.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry because I¡¯m numb. I¡¯m sorry because I bullied you so badly. I just wanted you to notice me.¡±


    I looked at him in confusion.


    ¡°When I saw a mane to your house, I was scared. I immediately thought that if you have a boyfriend, you won¡¯t notice me anymore.¡±


    I rolled my eyes.


    ¡°Notice you? Daily bullying from you, I haven¡¯t noticed you in that situation yet?¡± I said in sarcasm.


    Heughed. ¡°I¡¯ve wanted you for a long time.¡±


    ¡°Not convincing, go to sleep. I¡¯m still mad at you.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk some more,¡± he said like a child. The tone he used was melodious to the point like he wanted to hug me.


    ¡°When we were in elementary and our ssmate read your love letter for me, I was really annoyed.¡±


    ¡°My ssmates used tough at me.


    Your face was red with anger and it¡¯s like it¡¯s my fault that I have a crush on you,¡± I said.


    ¡°Is that why you haven¡¯t looked at me? Because of that?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re so mad at me that I have a crush on you. That¡¯s why I looked for another guy to like with.¡± I snorted out.


    ¡°I hated you when we were in high school.¡±


    ¡°Because I have a crush and it¡¯s not you anymore?¡± I asked and narrowed my eyes at him.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m jealous,¡± he replied.


    ¡°Tsk! You¡¯re really good at being jealous. You want to get even by bullying me every day. Others are flirting with the woman they like. While you are doing the opposite.¡± Heughed at what I said.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry for what happened at the university. I punched Harold when you left. I go after you but you immediately got away. The guidance counselor also chased me,¡± he said andughed. ¡°Sorry. I¡¯m sorry, Beth.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing we can do. We¡¯re already married.¡±


    ¡°I know you were just forced to marry me. But I, Beth, don¡¯t. I¡¯m happy. I¡¯m happy. I hope you get to like me again.¡±


    We stare at each other. But eventually, his facial expression changed.


    ¡°Who was the man you were with the other day? What did you do? Did you kiss?¡±


    ¡°We have this mutual understanding rtionship,¡± I replied.


    I wanted tough because he was obviously very jealous by just looking at his face.


    ¡°Don¡¯t think of cheating on me, Beth,¡± he said threatening.


    ¡°Hey, man. You have so many women,¡± I said and made face.


    ¡°Are you jealous when you see me with someone else? Are you jealous?¡± he said smiling.


    I pped his shoulder. So that means he makes me jealous by being with a lot of women who always apany him in the university.


    ¡°Baby, I¡¯ll promise to court you every day. I¡¯ll take you back, I love you.¡±


    I smiled at him.


    ¡°Thank you,¡± I replied and he looks annoyed.


    I¡¯m still angry because they bet on me. But I don¡¯t know how long this anger willst. I¡¯m sure of one thing. Everything that happened to us, ever since we were kids and up until now, I¡¯m sure that I still like Kian. I hope that we¡¯ll stay together forever.

 Chapter 7 Husband and wife

    I didn¡¯t get much sleep overnight because of what happened. I can¡¯t believe Kian and I are married. We didn¡¯t even go through the courtship or boyfriend-girlfriend stage.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    My eyes remained closed. I just want to sleep the whole day. It¡¯s weekends now, I don¡¯t have sses.


    I felt the door open, and next thing I hear some footsteps of him. My eyes remain closed and pretend that I was still asleep.


    I can hear the sound of the metal when he put it on the table that is just beside the bed. After that, he sat down next to me. I ignored him, but suddenly I can feel his finger tips on my cheeks.


    ¡°I know you¡¯re awake,¡± he softly said.


    When will I get use on seeing his face everytime I wake up in the morning? And his very manly and sexy voice that would wake me up each day.


    I opened my eyes slowly and I saw him smiling. His smile was so sexy. He even bit his lower lip. Then he lean closer and gave me kisses me on my head. I close my eyes when he kissed my nose. When he was about to kiss me on my lips I covered my mouth with my hand.


    ¡°Why?¡± he asked with a furrowed eyebrows.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t brushed my teeth yet,¡± I said while my hand is still on my face trying to cover my lips. He nodded and grinned.


    ¡°I don¡¯t care,¡± he said.


    Tssk! I just don¡¯t want to.


    I crinkled my nose as I shook my head. His eyes are smiling. I also snorted and looked at the bedside table. There is a tray on top of it. He had prepared breakfast for me- sliced ??fruits, pancakes, hot choco for me, and coffee for him. Shouldn¡¯t it be my duty as his wife to prepare breakfast for the two of us? My eyes narrowed.


    ¡°Breakfast in bed,¡± Kian said smiling. I can¡¯t help but smile. He even helped me get up and sitfortably. It¡¯s new to me, but I can¡¯t deny that I love what he¡¯s doing for me.


    ¡°Let me,¡± I said when he was about to put a portion of food in my mouth.


    ¡°Let me do it, please,¡± he said in a very sweet voice. I couldn¡¯t help but blush by his sweetness.


    ¡°You¡¯re blushing,¡± he said. His full attention was on me so I immediately averted my gaze. I felt ashamed, but he justughed at me.


    ¡°Are you smitten?¡± he asked making my face even redder.


    ¡°Kian¡­¡± I whispered. He chuckled and pinch the tip of my nose. ¡°I am d. I¡¯m d I have an effect on you.¡±


    ¡°Kian!¡± I shouted when he kissed me abruptly.


    ¡°Let¡¯s eat. We¡¯re going somewhere,¡± he said as he started to slice the pancake that was on my te.


    ¡°Where will we go?¡± I asked before taking the mug with hot chocte.


    ¡°Anywhere. Where do you want to go?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s up to you.¡±


    ¡°Hmm¡­ I think we should go to heaven,¡± he said yfully with a smile on his lips.


    I snorted at him. He¡¯s really crazy. It took us about half an hour before we finished our meal. I took a bath first even though he was teasing me that we should take a bath together. It looks like someone has a bad n.


    When I went downstairs, I couldn¡¯t find Kian¡¯s parents. He said they left early this morning. Kian said he woke me up when his parents were about to leave, but I was deep in sleep. Kian¡¯s parents have another house. They often stay there because their business is just close by. Same as my mother and father.


    Kian and I are on our own now. Our parents told us after we signed the marriage certificate, that when there is a problem, we¡¯ll call them. But I hope that there won¡¯t be any problem that wille our way. Especially that we don¡¯t really know each other yet.


    After that embarrassing incident way back when we were in elementary, I just ignored him and didn¡¯t care at all. I did not look and pay attention to him anymore. I tried to forget about him.


    Who would have thought that the boy who hated me way back in our elementary days, because of my love letter for him is now my husband.


    I didn¡¯t trapped him in this marriage. He even agreed to it. I¡¯ll just hope that I will not regret this in the end. I really hope so.


    Kian and I took a road trip to the North. I was not bored the whole trip. I enjoyed Kian¡¯spany so much.


    We¡¯re on the getting to know each other stage and I kinda like it. I love the soft and sweet side of him. Anyway, he¡¯s really sweet. Even before, whenever I saw him with his girlfriends. His exes now. He¡¯s really showy.


    Anyway, I shouldn¡¯t be thinking about his past rtionship. They are already his exes and I should care about them. It might lead me to overthink and feel some insecurities about myself.


    We arrived at a resort in the northern part of Luzon. It is a white sand beach and a leisure park that¡¯s located in the middle of an ind. This is the very first time that I went to an ind without Mom and Dad. I only go on trips like this when the whole n of both of my family sides have outings or family gatherings, that I didn¡¯t really enjoy.


    Thest time was when I was in high school. At that time I got some allergies all over my body. It leave my skin with ck marks, making me notfortable with my skin.


    Everytime I go out of the house I wear long sleeves and pants even in a summer days. I just felt like people were looking at me and criticizing me.


    Mom, bought some cream to get rid of it but my insecurity didn¡¯t. That¡¯s why I covered my whole body when getting dressed even when my skin ispletely healed.

 Chapter 8 Honeymoon

    Our hotel room was nice. There were rose petals scattered on the bed. It¡¯s as if they know that this room will be used by newlywed couples.


    Honeymoon.


    Yeah, it¡¯s like Kian and I are on our honeymoon. Since it was getting dark when we arrived here at the resort, we decided to rest first. Tomorrow we will take a tour and enjoy the activities here. We just ordered food and delivered it here in our room.


    ¡°Eat a lot,¡± Kian said as he steadily ced the dish on my te. I think this man was emphasizing something.


    ¡°You need strength for what we¡¯re going to do overnight.¡±


    I almost choked on what he said. He immediately handed me a ss of water and softly stroked my back with his hands.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± he asked in a worried tone.


    Crazy as ever! In a moment he was already smirking.


    ¡°You should get used to it. We¡¯re married now.¡±


    ¡°Eat a lot. That¡¯s enough. No need to say some words that would make me ufortable,¡± I said dismissively so that the conversation will end up. If not and he added more to what he was saying a while ago, it will make me feel queer.


    After we ate dinner and took a bath, we decided to watch a movie. Though our attention was not there.


    ¡°Baby,¡± Kian suggested. We are talking about what we should call to each other- an endearment.


    I shook my head because I don¡¯t want it. Almost every couple I know in the university, uses baby as their endearment. Even my cousins ??who have a rtionship and have wives used that too. Somon.


    ¡°Love.¡±


    I shook my head again. It¡¯s my parents¡¯ endearment.


    ¡°I¡¯m hoping you¡¯ll say unique ones,¡± I whispered. ¡°Don¡¯t use your endearments with your exes,¡± I added. He keeps silent for a couple of minutes.


    ¡°Sorry.¡± He put his arm around me and kissed my head.


    ¡°My only one,¡± he whispered and kissed my forehead this time, but then he frowned, ¡°Moo.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s like a cow,¡± I saidughing. Heughed too.


    ¡°But unique,¡± he said.


    We¡¯ll use that temporarily while I think of something better than we can use for a lifetime. He turned off the tv as well as the light.


    ¡°Let¡¯s get started,¡± he said.


    Before I could utter a word his soft lips were already pressed onto mine. He held my neck to make me close to him even more. It was like we were hungry while exchanging kisses.


    When he parted his lips I put my tongue inside his mouth. I searched for his tongue. And when I found it, both arebative and no one wants to lose. When I felt his palm on my breast and my bra was still on, I sucked his tongue hard which made him moan.


    ¡°Hmmm¡­¡±


    We both gasped for air after a few minutes of exchanging kisses. Pity our lips. Our eyes were both focused on each other. Full of longing and that¡¯s longing will take ce throughout the night. My heart is pounding with excitement.


    The heat evaporates on my skin and I felt my womanhood gets wet. I looked at Kian¡¯sp. The bulge between his thighs grew bigger. He smirked when he caught my eyes staring at his wild friend.


    ¡°Touch it,¡± hemanded.


    I slowly stretched my arm to reach his manhood. I could feel its stiffness even though he was still wearing shorts.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    ¡°Ah¡­¡± Kian moaned as if what I did pleases him. I bit my lip so hard and gently store it again. He squeezed my waist and kissed me hard which immediately went to my jaw.


    I continued what I was doing with his manhood. I groaned when his lips reached my neck. He sucked it and licked it. It gave an intense tickle. I put my hand on his nape and gently caressed it- inviting him to do more than just what he was doing now.


    I wanted to return the feelings that he is giving me. Nervous though, I was able to insert my hand inside his shorts. I caressed his manhood still wearing a brief. Kian stopped what he was doing. He looked at me with pleading eyes. I unbuttoned his shorts to freely touch his manhood.


    I grabbed the trunk of his manhood and immediately move my hand upside down. Kian¡¯s curses flooded the room. He hurriedly removed the button of my blouse and undress me. In just a jiffy, I could now feel his warm palm and wet tongue on my breasts.


    ¡°Oh!¡± I moan hard and tightened my grip on his manhood.


    ¡°Oh! That was so good!¡± Kian muttered with heavy breathing and gasped and continued to suck my nipples.


    ¡°Ahhh, I want mine to be inside yours,¡± he whispered and I just found myself lying on the soft bed under Kian.


    He showered kisses on my body. From my breasts down to my navel. His hands have found their purpose and immediately inserted one of his fingers inside my womanhood. Then followed by his lips that went with his finger- giving a unique pleasure to my womanhood.


    ¡°You¡¯re well lubricated now,¡± he said with full of passion.


    Before I could even ask what he meant, I already felt his manhood inside of me.


    My moan gets louder. Kian, on the other hand, is now like a cussing machine while his manhood is moving back and forth. I could feel the heat of our bodies. Sweat is now forming on my forehead and chest. Kian¡¯s chest was now full of sweat that he did not bother to wipe. Because his full attention was on me. I clung so tightly to his shoulder when something inside me wanted to burst out.


    ¡°Kian¡­ oh.¡±


    ¡°Shit¡­¡±


    He moved faster and deeper. The bed shakes as our bodies dance in pleasure. I¡¯m overwhelmed with the feeling I¡¯m on now and I don¡¯t know where to turn my head or where to hold. I watched what he was doing. I met his every thrust. Something in me wanted to explode.


    ¡°Fvck!¡±


    He gripped my waist and he move even faster. I came first and in a few seconds after, he filled me with his hot liquid. It feels so good.


    Not like our first, we don¡¯t have any connection. There is hesitation in myself before, because I thought that things should be done with two people in love with each other.


    But now, he is already my husband. His body is mine. And my body is his.

 Chapter 9 I want you

    We made the most of our whole day at the resort. We tries almost all of the activities that the resort offered. Ind hopping, scuba diving, para sailing, we ride on a jetski and etc.


    I enjoyed it a lot. This is our first ever date together. He promised that he will take me out on a date more often.


    And I am alreading looking forward on it.


    For the first time I feel so alive. I feel like a human. For the past years due to my issues I forbid myself going out and enjoy my life.


    I don¡¯t have friends. Didn¡¯t have a big family since I was an only child and my parents were also very busy.


    I love being with Kian. He really makes me so happy. Looking forward for more happy days together.


    Sunday afternoon we traveled back to the city. Back to reality, I guessed. I temporarily forgot that we were students after all. I lost that in my mind. I thought we were really adults. We are of legal age now but still, we needed to finish our studies for our future.


    He took off his shoes and his t-shirt before he drowned himself on the bed. I went to the bathroom first to take a shower. I felt sticky.


    I put onfortable clothes before I joined him on the bed. I leaned on his chest. He immediately hugged me and kissed my forehead. I smiled.


    I didn¡¯t know that I could feel so happy being in his arms and beside him.


    I woke up early the next morning to prepare our breakfast. We still have a stock of foods. I will check the stocks in my house this afternoon so I can defrost the refrigerator there.


    My parents also left and returned to the province, because they have a business there.


    I¡¯m just supposed to finish the semester and I¡¯ll be going home too to our province. But it looks like it won¡¯t happen now because I¡¯m already married.


    My mother had a lot of instructions when they were here. She even sent me messages this morning with only sermons on them.


    ¡°Call us if there¡¯s a problem.¡±


    That¡¯s what she keeps on saying. It was like they were expecting me to get in trouble.


    Hmm. I hope nothing. Kian and I are happy. Only now have I been happy all my life. Finally, I will not go home alone. I will no longer eat alone. No longer sleeping alone.


    Kian was already there with me up until now we reached this age. I smiled at my thought.


    Kian and I had breakfast together. He helped with the dishes before we took a shower and go to the university.


    My life has changed a lot since something happened to me and Kian, especially now that we were married.


    Before, I didn¡¯t feel like going to school because of them bullying me. But now, no one is even trying to bully me. Why? Because the mastermind is now my husband. But in exchange for being his wife are the sharp eyes staring at me, killing me with their eyes.


    Kian held my hand as he walked me to my first ss. He walked with me to my ss. Before I get in, he nted a kiss on my cheek.


    ¡°Let¡¯s have lunch togetherter. I love you, Moo,¡± he whispered in my ear. I smiled at hearing our endearment and at the tenderness of his voice.


    ¡°Good luck in ss.¡± That are the only words I could say. I don¡¯t know if I should answer his I love you. I know I like him. That he is special to me. But I am not that sure if my feelings for him were as deep as his love for me.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    In the next few days, for sure I will know what is my true feelings for him. Or how deep is my love for him?


    I want to study first. I became active throughout the ss. I also have some ssmates who approach me to befriend me.


    I finished myst subject this morning. When I came out of the ssroom, I received text messages from Kian. He also just finished ss. We will meet in the canteen.


    He was not there when I arrived at the canteen. The cheering squad group stoppedughing and cheering when they saw me. I didn¡¯t pay attention to them. They don¡¯t like me and I don¡¯t like them either.


    I lined up at the counter to order food for me and Kian. The line was quite long so I typed a message first. I will ask what he wants to eat for lunch.


    Before I could even send the message he had already arrived. He put his arm around me and quickly stole a kiss on my lips. My cheek blushed and averting my gaze.


    Out of the corner of my eyes, I noticed some female students staring at me and Kian while mumbling. Others struggled, especially the group of cheering squads.


    ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± I asked Kian. I looked up at him when I didn¡¯t hear him answer. He kissed me again. But this time on my forehead.


    ¡°You¡­¡± he whispered in my ear.


    I was dazed.


    ¡°Huh?¡± I asked him, didn¡¯t get what he just said.


    He grinned and aligned his face with mine.


    ¡°You¡¯re the one I want to eat,¡± he whispered again.


    My face heated up. I feel like someone heard what we were talking about. I simply pinched Kian¡¯s side. Heughed softly. After lunch, Kian and I hung out on the benches with his friends. I just quietly listened to their conversations because I couldn¡¯t rte.


    They are talking about their subject, up to sports and then girls. Kian yed with my hand. We were sitting side by side, very close to each other.

 Chapter 10 Hot Pleasure

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to go to ss,¡± he whispered to me softly. I snorted and shook my head.


    ¡°But we need to study for our future,¡± I said. I want us to finish college and will both have a sessful careers.


    ¡°What will be our future if we don¡¯t study hard?¡±


    Kian do well in his ss. He¡¯s been a consistent deans lister since we were in elementary. It¡¯s just not obvious because he¡¯s into his friends and he¡¯s out most of the time partying. He squeezed my hand.


    ¡°I was not satisfied with our short vacation. I want to spend time with you more,¡± he said. I smiled and shook my head.


    ¡°Is it the vacation that you are not satisfied with?¡± Though embarrassed I still asked him.


    He giggled. ¡°We can do it tonight.¡±


    My face heated up as I said those words. He cursed softly. He squeezed my waist and whispered again.


    ¡°Damn! My friend is excited already,¡± he whispered with excitement.


    I simply looked at ¡°his friend¡± the thing between his thigh and noticed that his pants were tightening because of his growing manhood. What did I do to make him turned on like that?


    ¡°Do something about it,¡± he whispered in a hoarse voice. What? What will I do? We looked at each other for a few seconds. In just a moment he stood up. He took my hand and gently pulled me up.


    ¡°Oh, where are you going? Our ss will start soon,¡± his friendsmented. Kian just shrugged.


    His friends looked at each other. After a while, they all bark intoughter


    ¡°Oh, that¡¯s hard!¡± One of his friends said teasingly.


    ¡°That hurts in the stomach.¡±


    My face heated up when I realized what they were saying.


    ¡°You idiots,¡± Kian scolded them but they just kept onughing.


    Kian pulled me over. When we arrived at the parking lot he immediately kissed me. I was notfortable that we were kissing in a public ce so I slowly pushed him.


    He immediately started his car and drove until we reached his house.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    When we entered the house he immediately hugged me. There was haste in his every move. His kiss was super aggressive. Extraordinary! As if he hadn¡¯t beenid for decades. In an instant, we were both naked.


    We never made it to the room. My legs rested on his waist while his hand was on my butt.


    The aggressive collision of our lips continues. His hard manhood rubbed against my entrance. Giving my body an intense heat and lust.


    I can¡¯t believe it! We ditch our sses just for this. He immediatelyid me down on the sofa. I knelt on the sofa and my hands gripped on the backrest.


    ¡°Kian¡­¡±


    I could feel the head of his manhood rubbing against my womanhood. I am grinding and shivered every time he takes it away. Urgh!


    ¡°Put it¨C oh!¡± I moaned loudly without a warning from him.


    He moved faster as if in a hurry. His one hand was on my breast, gently stroking and ying with one of my nipples.


    ¡°Shit!¡± he cursed as he moved faster and deeper as he entered back and forth.


    ¡°Ah! Kian!¡± I could feel his mouth on my nape. I felt his hot breathing on my skin and the intense desire I am feeling grows even more.


    Shit! It¡¯s pleasurable!


    His kiss on my nape was followed by a bite. He lightly licked it because I could feel his wet and hot saliva on my skin. He put a mark on every part of my body. I felt a little pain when he sucked my neck, but the intense desire I felt prevailed. Because of the heat and pleasure brought by his unbridled manhood that prates my femininity.


    ¡°Ah¡­ I can¡¯t take it anymore,¡± he whispered in my ear. He rubbed one of my nipples with his finger which intensified my desire to reach the climax immediately.


    I almost jumped in his every aggressive movement. My knees trembled and my hands lost strength.


    ¡°Kian!¡± I screamed but he grabbed my waist. And in a few hard thrusts, I felt his hot liquid again fill with in me. It¡¯s fine because I¡¯m taking pills to prevent any pregnancy.


    My chest was pounding hard. When he pulled out his stiffness, I immediately slumped on the sofa because of exhaustion. I shook my head looking at Kian. It was a shame thinking that we ditched ss just to satisfied our self. Weughed together.


    ¡°It won¡¯t happen again,¡± I reminded him that made his eyebrows rose.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think so,¡± he immediately answered.


    ¡°We can¡¯t miss ss again just because of this,¡± I added. Heughed softly.


    ¡°I thought you were going to be hard on your husband.¡±


    That seems impossible. We¡¯re always sticking together and because we¡¯re both aggressive, we couldn¡¯t prevent the hot pleasure.


    Maybe if we¡¯re at the university, I¡¯ll just avoid being so close to him so it won¡¯t happen again. We need to take our studies seriously. Having a husband is a little bit tiring while studying at the same time.


    My sses and subjects are getting harder but Kian helps me out. That when I got home, I had run out of energy to do housework and Kian cuddled me every night.


    But overall, everything was great! I am happy and contented. There were times that we fight and a little argue. But we also settled right away. Our misunderstandings go through goodmunication.


    We both agreed that we should finish our studies first, and have a stable job before we start to extend our family by pregnancy. So I took pills.


    I can¡¯t get pregnant without graduating first, especially since we are still dependent on our parents.


    Having a family, we need to be able to provide for the needs of our children. Kian and I have many dreams and ns for our future. And I know we can aplish that together.


    We maintained our high grades.


    It is part of our dream to graduate with flying colors to have better opportunities when we start applying for bigpanies that we dream to work for.

 Chapter 11 Wedding ring

    ¡°Hmm¡­ how many children do you want?¡± he suddenly asked.


    I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s still early for nning or talking about this kind of thing. I shifted on my seat to face him. Okay. He was serious. I sighed and shrugged.


    ¡°Since I was an only child, wanted to have a big family. I like to have a big and happy family.¡±


    I grew up lonely. I wasn¡¯t like the other kids who stay most often outside their house. ying with other kids. I stayed mostly at our house. ying alone. I don¡¯t have someone to tell my secrets to. Don¡¯t have someone to share my toys with.


    Kian was also an only child, but we are totally different. He¡¯s friendly.


    People like to be friends with him. He gets along well with others. While I prefer to be alone. I just don¡¯t want to be judged.


    Childhood memories and trauma made me this way. I fear socializing. I don¡¯t want people to be nice to me while I¡¯m in front of them, then,ter on, will say ill things behind my back. So, why bother to be nice and to please people if they don¡¯t really like me? It¡¯s their problem, not mine.


    Being a loner made me think that way. It¡¯s not that bad at all. I find peace being alone. Not until Kian and I got married. He is not like a husband to me. He¡¯s also my friend, and all.


    ¡°How about you?¡± I asked him.


    ¡°I also want a big family. But if you can only give me a few kids, I¡¯m fine with that.¡±


    Iughed at what he said. Why are we talking about it anyway? We don¡¯t yet have the knowledge of family nning. At least for now.


    We need to finish our studies first. Have a stable job and be financially stable as well so we can afford on having a big family.


    ¡°I have something to give to you,¡± I said smiling.


    ¡°What is it?¡±


    I took out the box that I hid on the back of the picture frame. I handed it to him. I feel a bit nervous. I am not really sure about this.


    He smiled at me. He opened it. He was speechless after he saw what it was. He was dazzled, I guessed. Maybe he realized it now. He made me sit on his side. He picked up the ring that I gave him.


    We¡¯ve been married for a few months but we don¡¯t even wear a wedding ring. Maybe that¡¯s one of the reasons why some girls at school still approach him. Well, he¡¯s really popr. I just thought that if these girls see his finger wearing a wedding ring, they¡¯ll probably back off. If not, well they are really bitches.


    ¡°Thank you, Moo.¡± He smiled at me before looking at the ring again. It was a simple white gold ring with our name engraved on it. He held my hand. For a few seconds, he was silent. He was weighing some things and seemed to be thinking.


    ¡°To the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my whole life,¡± he began.


    I frowned andughed softly. Only to realize that he was making a vow. A wedding vow that we haven¡¯t done because we got married all of a sudden. We didn¡¯t even have a wedding ceremony. We just signed the certificates and that¡¯s it, suddenly married.


    ¡°I will love you with all of my heart. I will be the best husband and lover to you. I love you,¡± he¡¯s about to kiss me when I avoided him.


    ¡°Wait for the bride to say her vows first.¡± Iughed. He scratched his neck.


    I took a deep breath. We didn¡¯t have any audience but I felt a thrill in my chest.


    ¡°I wonder if you remember or heard my love letter well back then.¡± I blushed. ¡°Yes, maybe I was too young then to think that it was love. But I¡¯ve written that letter with all my heart.¡±


    His eyes dimmed.


    ¡°I decided to stop my special feeling for you way back then, because I know you can¡¯t return back what I was feeling for you. I thought I got you out of my system but I was wrong. Because each day we were together, the feeling I buried deep inside of my heart was revived.¡±


    He sighed. His eyes twinkled. Is he going to cry?


    ¡°I love you so much, Moo,¡± I whispered.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    He didn¡¯t waste a minute. He immediately nted my lips with a brief kiss. And again. And again. Heughed and pressed our foreheads and noses together.


    ¡°I love you more, Moo.¡±


    We weren¡¯t in a wedding ceremony but the emotion was real.


    ¡°When we became sessful someday, I will marry you in the church. I will give you a grand wedding. A dream wedding. After that, we¡¯ll travel the whole world. And then we¡¯ll start a family. We¡¯ll have kids. Two boys and two girls who look just like you.¡±


    Iughed and cried at the same time. I can¡¯t wait for that moment to happen. Soon, someday. Life with him was amazing. I never thought I could love a man this deeply. Or never did I think that someone would love me this deep. And never did I think that it will be him.


    Kian.


    My childhood crush. My number one bully.


    Days passed by, I loved him even more. I am always excited abouting home from school to cook for him. We always have time to talk. Sometimes our bonding was doing assignments and projects.


    I¡¯m in a hurry to go home so I can cook dinner for Kian and me. He is still at the university. He has two more sses. I still have two hours left before he goes home. I have to fix everything within two hours. I was able to do the grocery yesterday. I also bought balloons to decorate our room.


    I inserted the key in the keyhole and when I opened the door I was shocked to hear something like fireworks.


    ¡°Ah!¡± I hold my chest out of shock.


    ¡°Happy anniversary, Moo!¡± Kian greeted me while still holding the party pop.


    I smiled and approached him.


    ¡°You did this all?¡± I asked as I rolled my eyes in every corner of the room.


    There are hanging balloons. We had LED lights and printed pictures together. Petals of roses are scattered on the floor. It was mixed with confetti from the party pop. There is a mini table in the middle with wine, cake, and some food on it.


    There is also a gift and bouquet of roses on the bed. For a moment I could not speak a word in surprise. Oh, he prepared all of these. I smiled. Because of this, I seem to have fallen in love even more with him.


    ¡°My husband is sweet and thoughtful,¡± I said emotionally and immediately hugged him tightly.


    Heughed softly and immediately kissed me on my lips.


    ¡°Happy anniversary, Moo,¡± I greeted him.


    I squatted down and immediately kissed him. I distance myself afterwards, thinking maybe it will lead us to hot nights again.


    I want to see first everything he has prepared and enjoy everything first. My husband and I seem to have the same thing in mind.


    He was better at nning because instead of me surprising him, I was the one who was surprised. We took a video of us while we blew the candle on our anniversary cake. We exchanged some sweet messages and kisses.


    ¡°Turn off the video and maybe we¡¯ll be able to record what we¡¯re going to do,¡± he whispered making meugh. After turning it off, I looked at him and smiled devilishly.


    ¡°Since you took care of everything. I¡¯ll take care of you,¡± I utter in a flirtatious way.


    He quickly stood up from sitting in front of the table. Iughed. I immediately ran and went up to our room.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be impatient, mister! Just be there first!¡± I locked the door of the room to make sure he could not enter and follow me. Knowing him. He was too impatient. I can hear his frustration while he calls my name outside. I justughed.


    ¡°I will just take a shower!¡± I shout again. I took the lingerie I bought from the closet before I took a shower. Let¡¯s see if I could give my husband a mind-blowing pleasure.

 Chapter 12 Lied

    ¡°Beth, are youing?¡± my ssmate Macy asked.


    I smiled timidly at her. I know she understands what I mean by it. The hope in her eyes faded. She sighed and nodded her headter on.


    Our group had the highest score so they were happy and decided to celebrate. There is a KTV bar near here and they n to there. I don¡¯t like to go out so I refused. And besides, I already I am already married. It¡¯s not nice to see me outside and having fun while I have a husband waiting at home.


    I left the room to go to the canteen. Kian texted me that he was already there. When I arrived at the canteen, their group grabbed my attention. They¡¯re having fun.


    When Kian noticed me he immediately stood up. He put his arm around me and kissed my cheek. His friend¡¯s eyes are on us. I raised an eyebrow at them. Kian guided me to sit next to him. He already ordered food for us. Their silence made me confused. Until I had eaten my meal half of it, they cleared their throats simultaneously.


    ¡°Beth.¡± One of his friends called my attention, it was Raul. One of the most yboys in the university.


    ¡°Yes?¡± I asked and looked at him, waiting for him to say what he wanted to tell. I noticed how the way they all looked at me. Including Kian who was silent the whole time.


    ¡°It¡¯s my birthday today,¡± Raul began. He had a big smile on his lips.


    ¡°Happy birthday,¡± I greeted him. He scratched his neck feeling shy. I think I know what he wanted to say.


    I looked at Kian who was also looking at me. He just shrugged.


    ¡°Maybe you¡¯ll allow Kian toe¡­¡± Raul said a bit hesitant. He looks like a kid letting his mother know that he wanted to go out with his friends. I sighed.


    ¡°Please¡­¡± His friends pleaded and still have this look on me.


    ¡°Okay, but¡­¡± I looked at Raul seriously before turning my gaze to Kian that is now frowning, ¡°He needs to be home before ten pm, sharp.¡±


    We still have sses tomorrow and I don¡¯t want him to get so drunk. I don¡¯t want him to skip ss just because of a hangover. His friends have this satisfying smile on their faces.


    ¡°Who¡¯sing anyway?¡± I asked.


    I just wondered why I wasn¡¯t invited. Not that I am interested. It¡¯s just confusing.


    ¡°J-Just us¡­¡± They looked at each other. ¡°A-All boys!¡±


    ¡°Okay. You seem not sure,¡± I said.


    ¡°All boys,¡± one of them said. ¡°Do you agree? Do you allow him?¡±


    I rolled my eyes. ¡°Yeah. Just don¡¯t get him drunk. He¡¯ll need to be home before ten.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡± They all eximed like kids. As if they don¡¯t get together every day here at school.


    ¡°Thanks, Moo.¡± I smiled at Kian. He kisses me on my cheeks again.


    ¡°Don¡¯t get drunk. You should be home,¡± I reminded him again. He nodded.


    I went home alone after my ss at four in the afternoon.


    Kian had already left because their ss today was only until three in the afternoon. He sent me messages. It was when they are leaving and when they arrive at his friend¡¯s house. I won¡¯t have to cook for dinner. I¡¯ll just eat instant food.


    My ssmates teased me earlier. They thought that I would change my mind when they know that no Kian is waiting for me after ss. I refuse to go with them. I have assignments to do.


    It was seven o¡¯clock when I finished cleaning downstairs. I went up to our room to take a shower and rest.


    I am not at ease. This is the first time Kian has been out with his friends since we got married. I look straight at my cellphone. I stopped myself from texting him because it was too early. He just needs to follow our agreement that he¡¯ll be here at ten o¡¯clock.


    It¡¯s already eight o¡¯clock. But I can¡¯t fall asleep. My mind was on Kian. Now I thought that he was drunk and need to drive home. I feel so worried. I typed a message.


    ¡°Don¡¯t get too drunk, okay? Sorry, I am just worried. Just leave your car and take a taxi. Be safe. I love you, Moo.¡±


    I sighed and went back to bed. I closed my eyes and try to get some sleep but I¡¯m not really sleepy. I got up and sat in the study chair. I took out my notebook and read my notes. I won¡¯t let Kian go next time. I am bothered and worried now.


    I looked at the wall clock. It was passed nine o¡¯clock. I sighed. He¡¯s on his way home now so I¡¯ll wait for him downstairs. I had only been sitting on the sofa for a few minutes when I heard the familiar roar of the car.


    Oh, thank God!


    I immediately went to the door to open it for him. He smiled when he saw me standing here at the door. He doesn¡¯t look drunk. He seems to have followed my reminders. He immediately kissed me on the lips when he got near me.


    ¡°It¡¯s still early,¡± I said because it wasn¡¯t even nine-thirty but he was already here. He smiled.


    ¡°I missed you right away,¡± he replied. He kissed me again.


    ¡°You¡¯ve been drinking,¡± I muttered. I don¡¯t like the smell of the alcohol. He put his arm around me.


    ¡°I¡¯ll just take a shower. Then, you know,¡± he gently massages my arm down to my waist. Iughed at him.


    ¡°All right. Hurry up and take a shower so we can go to sleep right away,¡± I repliedughing.


    ¡ª-


    ¡°See youter.¡± Kian kissed me on my cheek. As usual, he took me here to my ssroom again.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    ¡°Hi, Beth,¡± my ssmate Macy greeted. She smiled. I know she¡¯s trying to be friends with me even though I avoid her. I smile and wave at her.


    ¡°We had funst night. It¡¯s you weren¡¯t with us.¡±


    I just smiled.


    ¡°Kian was therest night, too,¡± she said. I paused for a moment. I thought it was at his friend¡¯s house . I smiled at Macy.


    ¡°Yes, their friend¡¯s birthday.¡±


    He nodded and thought for a moment. ¡°Hey, you shouldn¡¯t juste with usst night, so that¡­¡±


    She won¡¯t really give up? She gently scratched her cheek and seemed to think of something. She and her friends looked at each other. So that? What? I frowned as I waited for what she would say next. She sighed and smiled.


    ¡°We just want you to know that we are your friends. We are not fake.¡±


    ¡°Thank you,¡± I said. I really appreciate their efforts to be friends with me.


    My morning sses are over. I was already walking towards the canteen. In front of me also walks a group of cheerleaders. They were talking and giggling.


    ¡°Mommy didn¡¯t really let me go. You know, I¡¯m still grounded because we went to the barst month,¡± said one of the girls.


    ¡°But what¡¯s the news? Did you make it?¡± the other cheerleader asked.


    ¡°Almost. But he left right away. So annoying!¡± she screamed.


    ¡°Oh? So, do you think he¡¯s really loyal to his wife?¡±


    ¡°Too early to say that. I won¡¯t give up. The school year ising to an end. We¡¯re about to graduate. I can¡¯t afford to just let the four years be in vain.


    I sighed. Why am I listening to their conversations? There¡¯s something in me that¡¯s telling me to listen.


    One of the cheerleaders turned around. She was stiffened to see me so the other also turn around. The one girl just smirks at me. And I don¡¯t know what that¡¯s for. I just shrugged it off.


    They entered the canteen first. I smiled when I saw Kian staring at me. The cheerleader greeted Kian in a very flirty way. My forehead furrowed. I know that they were attracted to my husband but it¡¯s just confusing that she greeted Kian now. Kian averted his eyes from her. I immediately sat down next to my him. He immediately kissed me on my cheek.


    ¡°I love you,¡± he whispered. So sweet of him. I kissed him on his lips. Just quick and light. He smiled and pinched my nose. His friends make a shrieking sound so I turned to them.


    ¡°How¡¯s the birthday party?¡± I asked them. They looked at each other. I heard the chanting of other groups of women who were just sitting at the other table. Raul scratched his head.


    ¡°I-It was fine,¡± he said. Fine?


    They didn¡¯t seem to enjoy it. I didn¡¯t say a word again. We ate while Kian and still holding my hand. He nced at me so I looked at him.


    ¡°Why?¡± I asked with a smile. He just shook his head.

 Chapter 13 Worried

    I raised an eyebrow at Kian¡¯s friend. Again? I looked at Kian.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t want me to go,¡± Kian said.


    While his friend made puppy eyes at me so that I could let Kian go to his birthday party.


    ¡°Who¡¯s birthday it will be next month?¡± I asked them. Likest time, almost all of them have the same reactions- scratching their napes and having this look on me. Last year, they didn¡¯t invite Kian and Kian also refused to go. I sighed.


    ¡°Where are you going?¡± I asked another question. I remember Raul¡¯s birthdayst time. They say it will only take ce at Raul¡¯s house but I found out from Macy that they went to a bar.


    ¡°Just at home. All boys just like Raul¡¯s birthday,¡±  Kian replied while his eyes are busy roaming around. He can¡¯t look straight in my eyes ¡¯cause I¡¯m staring hard at him. Liar! I know where these guys went.


    ¡°Please, allow him. It¡¯s ourst year in college. When we graduate we might not be able to meet again.¡±


    I sighed once again. ¡°Okay. Make sure you don¡¯t take my husband anywhere. No girls and please, don¡¯t get him to get too drunk.¡±


    ¡°No girls. And we won¡¯t let him get drunk,¡± they assure me. Well, I don¡¯t trust them. But I trust my husband.


    ¡°He should be home at ten in the night,¡± I said seriously. They nodded. The smirk in their eyes makes me feel ufortable. I looked at Kian. He weakly smiles.


    ¡°Thanks, Moo,¡± he said before kissing me on my cheek.


    After my afternoon ss, I went to the restroom first before going home. I entered the restroom and the group of cheerleaders was there. They were busy doing their makeup. I didn¡¯t even mean it but I listened to their conversation again.


    ¡°Are you sure he¡¯s going?¡± asked one of them.


    ¡°Yes. They¡¯ve already left with-¡±


    The cheerleader stopped talking when she noticed me. She managed to smirk at me again. Which I just ignored like I always do.


    ¡°Hi, Beth,¡± she greeted me, smiling. I know it¡¯s fake. I also faked a smile at her.


    ¡°Hello,¡± I greeted as enthusiastically as her.


    ¡°We¡¯re going to a party,¡± she said as if I care. We¡¯re not even friends for her to tell me that. Why the need to inform me about what are they up to? Like I care and like she cares. I just shrugged on it.


    ¡°Enjoy,¡± I answered indisposed. I entered the cubicle and I could still hear them talking and giggling.


    ¡°Poor her. She has no idea. Stupid.¡±


    I didn¡¯t mind them though.


    I woke up and immediately looked at the time. It¡¯s already nine o¡¯clock in the evening. I knew Kian is alreadying home so I sent a message to him, saying that if he was drunk, he should just take a taxi.


    I also went out of the room to wait for him in the living room. I knew he was going home now just like the first one. It was quarter to ten and he still hadn¡¯t home yet.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    I felt nervous. Maybe he got too drunk. If so, I¡¯ll me his friends. They¡¯ll see me tomorrow and hear words that are not nice to hear.


    Ten o¡¯clock came and Kian is still not home. I went upstairs and picked up my cellphone. I texted him again.


    ¡°Are you now going home? Be careful.¡±


    Five minutes had passed but he is still not home. No reply from him either. I texted him again.


    ¡°Moo, I¡¯m worried here. Reply, please¡­¡±


    I sighed. I am bothered right now. I stood up and walked back and forth. I can¡¯t even remove the nervousness inside my chest. I feel I wanted to take a poo and something strange that I can¡¯t understand. Maybe his phone¡¯s battery got drained? I rubbed my forehead.


    ¡°I should call him,¡± I whispered.


    I dialed his number. It¡¯s ringing. It is still ringing and he didn¡¯t answer. I called him three times. When he still didn¡¯t answer and he still didn¡¯t home yet, I cried. I don¡¯t have a number of his friends. I should have their numbers. I stalk them on Facebook and send them messages.


    ¡°Is Kian already left to go home? I am so worried here. He¡¯s not here yet. We have talked earlier that you will let him go home before ten o¡¯clock. Please, reply.¡±


    It was as if my chest would copse with so much nervousness. My tears are welling up. Kian¡­ go home, please.


    A few more minutes passed and I can hear the roar of his car outside the house. I wiped away my tears and hurriedly opened the door. He was obviously drunk based on his walk. The good thing and he was even able to drive home. He smiled timidly.


    ¡°Why are you still up?¡± he asked. I felt annoyed at his question.


    Who would sleep while her husband is outside? With so much worry, how can I sleep? Why didn¡¯t he even text or call? And why now?


    It¡¯s half-past ten. He was thirty minuteste. I just smiled at him. I wanted to say a lot but I just didn¡¯t say it.


    ¡°I can¡¯t sleep without you next to me,¡± I said smiling. He smiled and hugged me tightly.


    ¡°Sorry,¡± he said. My forehead furrowed. He shook his head and led me inside the house. When the door closed he immediately kissed me on my lips.


    ¡°I miss you, Moo,¡± he whispered making meugh. But the truth is that I also missed him. I kiss him back.


    We went up to our room. He pulled me to the bathroom to take a bath with him even though I had taken a bath already. His every kiss was full of longing. The cold thates from the water that falls on our bodies is nothingpared to the heat of our bodies. His kisses tell me how much he wants me. His warm caresses ignited my lust and longing for him to im me. We hurriedly took off each other¡¯s clothes.


    When we were naked he immediately picked me up. His kisses went down my neck. He sucks my skin and doesn¡¯t seem to care even if it leaves a mark. I did not stop him. I let him be. I moan and moan. I wanted nothing more than for him to take possession of me.


    ¡°Ah¡­ hmm.¡±


    His hot mouth went to my breast. My nipple hardened. It wants his attention. His mouth. His tongue. He understand what I wanted. He immediately licked one of my nipples. Ibed his hair and hugged him even more so that he could do what he was doing.


    Every suck he did on my nipple brought thousands of voltages down to my jewel. It was already wet with water but it got even wetter because of the sensation and longing I was feeling. It didn¡¯t take long for Kian to align his shaft on my entrance. It takes one deep hard thrust for him to fill me.


    My moan grew louder as he started to move inside me. His two hands gripped my butt. My arms wrapped around him to make him feel even better.


    ¡°I love you¡­ I love you, Moo¡­¡± he whispered over and over again as he continued to aggressively dig deep into me.


    ¡°I love you¡­¡± I answered between my moans. I can hardly speak because of the intense feeling I¡¯m in now. Even though we were not in a good position I was still able to move my hips to meet his every thrust. I wanted to cum. He kisses me aggressively while his hips keep rocking on me aggressively. I can not take it anymore.


    ¡°Oh! Yes¡­ I¡¯m ¡­¡± I hugged him tightly. He came after me. We both gasped and hug each other tightly.


    ¡°I love you, Moo. It¡¯s just you. My only one,¡± he whispered. I smiled. This one looks drunk. He keeps on saying that.


    ¡°I love you too,¡± I replied. ¡°Put me down. Let¡¯s rinse and go to sleep.¡±


    He nodded but did not let me go immediately. He kissed my cheek and neck.


    After that, wey down together. I¡¯m getting drowsy.


    ¡°Goodnight, Moo,¡± I whispered. He hugged me and before I could fall asleep I heard him whisper.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Moo. It¡¯s just you, that¡¯s a promise.¡± I could still hear him sniffing.

 Chapter 14 Not Okay

    I woke up alone in bed. It¡¯s only six-thirty in the morning. It¡¯s Saturday so we don¡¯t have to go to the university.


    I stayed still before being forced to get up and look for Kian. I found him in the kitchen. There is a frying pan on the stove. Looks like he just started cooking.


    The kitchen was a bit messy. There are ingredients and foods on the countertop. When he notices my presence he nces at me. I leaned against the kitchen door and looked at him with a smile.


    ¡°I guess you got up early and cook.¡± He just smiled sparingly. He turned down the heat on the stove before taking a few steps toward me. He kissed me on the lips.


    ¡°Sorry aboutst night. I came homete due to traffic,¡± he exined seriously. I nodded.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. I just hope you have texted me. Your wife was so worried.¡± I sighed.


    ¡°Sorry.¡± He kissed me again. Itsted for just a few seconds because if he doesn¡¯t stop, the pan will burn.


    ¡°While I¡¯m cooking, pack our clothes good for two days,¡± he said.


    ¡°Why?¡± I asked and my forehead wrinkled.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go out of town,¡± he replied as he put the bacon into the pan. Suddenly, he got ns.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll just pack up.¡± I shook my head and go up to get our things ready.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    We went to Tagaytay.


    Wandered all day and when night came he tirelessly imed me over and over again. We went to bed in the morning so we got upte the next morning.


    ¡°We¡¯ll graduate in a few months,¡± I said.


    The real challenge of life is just beginning. Just thinking of it now, I¡¯m already nervous. Adulthood is a bit scary. Because severe trials are waiting to test you.


    Will I be strong enough or will I falter? I turned to him because he wasn¡¯t even speaking.


    ¡°You okay there?¡± I asked because he didn¡¯t even notice that I was staring at him. He was quiet and his mind was preupied.


    ¡°Huh? Yeah,¡± he replied. He kissed my cheek and hugged me. We just finished breakfast. He was sitting on the sofa facing the wide balcony of the hotel where we were staying. I am sitting on hisp. He didn¡¯tin because he was used to being in this position.


    ¡°I love you, Moo, ¡± he whispered.


    It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want what he¡¯s saying. The thing that bothers me is that he¡¯s saying it since yesterday. Only I love you¡¯s that¡¯sing out of his mouth.


    ¡°I love you more. What are you thinking?¡± I asked him. He sighed and shook his head and sighed again. He even tightened his grip on me.


    ¡°I was just thinking about our future. You and me. Our future with our children.¡±


    I smiled. ¡°Do you want us to have children?¡±


    We n to be stable first. We both have trust funds from our parents. It¡¯s also big enough because our parents tell us to give them a grandchild after graduation.


    But Kian and I had already nned not to. We work first, save, and travel before having a baby.


    ¡°I¡¯ll marry you in the church first. I¡¯ll save that. I will give you a grand wedding. I will buy you the most beautiful and expensive wedding gown.¡±


    Iughed.


    ¡°What? I¡¯m not joking. That¡¯s my dream.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯m not against it. I think you¡¯re very sentimental now. You sure you¡¯re okay?¡±


    ¡°I love you so much,¡± he replied.


    ¡°Hi, Beth,¡± Macy greeted me as soon as I entered the ssroom. I smiled and greeted back as well. She approached my seat but our instructor arrived just in time so she returned to her seat.


    I was astonished. Does she need anything from me? I looked at her. Her attention is already on her friends.


    I just shook my head because they were talking without a voiceing out of their lips. How did they get along?


    Our morning ss ended. We had a quiz earlier. I haven¡¯t been able to review but I¡¯m confident that I only made three or four mistakes out of fifty of our quizzes. My head hurts a little.


    ¡°Beth, wait!¡± Macy called me when I was out of the room. I stopped walking and waited for her. He smiled at me.


    ¡°It¡¯s my birthday today,¡± she said with a smile.


    ¡°Ahm, happy birthday. Sorry, I didn¡¯t know.¡± If I only knew I would give her a gift since she was nice to me.


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. Please go with us,¡± she said. She doesn¡¯t really want to give up.


    I smiled and shook my head. I know she knew that I am not into parties. She sighed. Her face looked sad so I felt sad too.


    It¡¯s Kian and I monthsarry today. I am thinking of giving him a surprise- a romantic dinner perhaps. Maybe I¡¯ll just buy a gift for Macy to make it up for her. We aren¡¯t that close but I want to give her a gift.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Macy. Happy birthday again.¡±


    She nodded. I saw Kianing so I said goodbye to Macy and greeted my husband. He kissed me on my cheeks.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. I already asked Raul to order food for us,¡± he said before wrapping his hand around my shoulder.


    I turned to Macy. Her friends were looking at Kian and me. Macy¡¯s friends are telling her something but she shook her head.


    We first passed the table of the cheering squad members before the table upied by Kian¡¯s friends. They stared at us while whispering.


    ¡°Hi, Beth,¡± the cheerleader greeted me. I noticed Kian suddenly being ufortable. ¡°Hello, Kian.¡±


    I can sense her yful tone as she greeted Kian.


    Kian didn¡¯t answer her nor look at her. I waszy to wave. I didn¡¯t greet her as well, because I knew she was just fake to me. I don¡¯t even know why all of a sudden she notices me.


    After we turned away from her I heard the sound of her kissing the air. She did that a few times while her friends wereughing.


    ¡°Is it pleasurable?¡± they further asked.


    Kian pulled me away quickly. I just go with him because I already felt hungry.


    Kian¡¯s ss will end at six o¡¯clock because they are finishing an activity in one of their subjects. Mine will end at four o¡¯clock. I still have time to prepare our dinner. Before going home, Macy approached me once again.


    ¡°Please, Beth. I wanted you to be on my birthday,¡± she pleaded. Her eyes were hopeful but I had a n in advance.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Macy,¡± I replied sadly. Maybe I¡¯ll just make it up to her next time.


    I¡¯m in a hurry when I got home. I dropped my bag and books on the sofa and headed straight to the kitchen. There are ingredients ready in the refrigerator. Because I woke up early this morning to prepare everything so that I don¡¯t have to hurry while cooking.


    While cooking I also put air in the transparent balloons. I scattered them on the floor that has LED lights on it.


    Six-thirty o¡¯clock, the table was all set. I went up to our room to take a shower and get dressed. I wore a red dress and applied red lipstick. I smiled in the mirror. The whole house was dark. It was part of the surprise.


    I sat down while waiting for him. He¡¯s already near on the sofa, I should wait. I smiled and was shaken by the thought. Maybe I should be lying on the sofa while waiting for him.


    Just as he turned on the light, his sexy and beautiful wife appeared to him. Iughed at what I was thinking. But, why not? It¡¯s not a bad idea. I am his wife and there is nothing wrong with seducing my own husband. Iy down on the sofa facing the main door. My thighs are exposed. The curve of my body is also obvious. Because of the low cut of the dress, my cleavage was also exposed.


    It¡¯s about eight o¡¯clock and I¡¯m so tired of siiting here. But still, Kian hasn¡¯te home yet. Until I didn¡¯t realize I was already asleep again. I woke up around nine o¡¯clock. He hasn¡¯te home yet. I already felt hungry but the nervousness was more dominant in my chest. Here I am again. I feel like I have a heart condition. I got up and decided to just wait for him at the table I had prepared. The food I prepared was cold now. Ten o¡¯clock came.


    I was tired of waiting so I ate first. I ate very little. I have put away what I have prepared. The balloons and LED lights, I stuffed all of it in the garbage bag.


    I finished cleaning but Kian still hasn¡¯te home yet. I went up to our room and went into the bathroom. I washed my face to erase the lipstick I had put on. I changed my clothes.


    I looked at my cellphone. There is a message from Kian. He said he will bete because they have not finished what they are doing. I didn¡¯t reply.


    I don¡¯t want to say okay, because it¡¯s not okay. I am not okay and what I feel today was not totally okay. I was dragged to sleep when I heard the door of the room open.


    I didn¡¯t move and pretended to be asleep. I¡¯m annoyed and I don¡¯t want to feel this way. He went straight to the bathroom and after taking a bath he kissed me. He hugged me and whispered¡­


    ¡°Sorry, I amte.¡±


    I know he thinks that I am already asleep. I can¡¯t be wrong but he smells of wine.

 Chapter 15 Threat

    Kian and I never talk in the morning because my ss was an hour earlier than his. I just heated up the food I cookedst night. The cake I baked was just in the fridge.


    After I got dressed, he woke up. He was quiet and I knew he was watching me. I have a lot to say and I have things I want to ask him but I don¡¯t want to start this day with a fight. With the annoyance I feltst night and until now I am sure it will lead to a quarrel.


    As much as possible I want to be calm. I don¡¯t want to mess up my mind especially since we have quizzes that I have to prepare for this week.


    My chest tightens. I hardly slept. I was irritated as I listened to her snore. He was under the influence of alcohol so he slept very soundly.


    He didn¡¯t know or it is more correct to say that he doesn¡¯t care about his wife who is irritated and resentful towards him.


    ¡°I¡¯m going,¡± I coldly said goodbye to him.


    He stood up immediately and approached me. He kissed my head.


    ¡°Remember, Moo, I love you. See youter.¡±


    I nodded and didn¡¯t speak again. I turned around and left the house.


    I go straight to the ssroom without looking at those around me. I am too mad to entertain anyone. I took a deep breath and sighed.


    I drank some water from my tumbler to lessen the lump that is in my throat.


    I knew Macy was looking at me.


    She¡¯s sitting on the left side but I didn¡¯t look back at her. I can¡¯t smile. Even just a fake smile, because I¡¯m not that type of a person.


    Our morning ss has finished. I immediately got up and go to the canteen. Kian had a text message saying that he was already there.


    There were a lot of people in the canteen so he didn¡¯t just pick me up here so he could order our food. I did not reply. I just hope that he knew what do I feel aboutst night. It¡¯s not about the surprise that I prepared.


    ¡°Beth,¡± Macy called me. I am not really in a mood right now so I pretended that I didn¡¯t hear him. But knowing Macy, she is really determined. She grabbed my arm. I sighed before I turn to face her.


    Her smile was different as I looked at her. It is tinged with sadness and worry. My forehead furrowed.


    ¡°Yes? Something¡¯s wrong?¡± I asked. Did she have a problem? Why didn¡¯t she approach her friends?


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± she asked me. My forehead furrowed even more. She just approached me for that?


    ¡°O-Of course,¡± I replied. I managed to ster a smile. She sighed and then smile.


    No matter how hard she tried to smile, still, the sadness and worry were evident on her face.


    ¡°You? Are you okay?¡± I asked.


    Where is this conversation going?


    She nodded and smiled. I didn¡¯t eat much this morning so I feel hungry.


    ¡°I¡¯m hungry so I¡¯ll get going,¡± I said and patted her on her arm. She nodded again and didn¡¯t say anything.


    I stopped walking when from here at the canteen door I saw the cheerleader sitting opposite Kian¡¯s seat. She has this sweet and flirty smile on her lips while looking at Kian.


    I can¡¯t see Kian¡¯s reaction. From here I can only see his back. My forehead frowned.


    And because I heard Macy¡¯s voice behind me I started to move forward. I turned to her and smiled sparingly. She also smiled but her eyes were on the people I had been looking at earlier.


    The cheerleader still did not leave her seat even though she saw meing. Kian seemed to feel my presence and he immediately stood up then greeted me.


    I smiled at him even though I shouldn¡¯t. He kissed me on my lips. I raised an eyebrow at the cheerleader.


    Hmm¡­ what¡¯s her name again? I looked at her id.


    Jewel. Nice name. I hope her name is as nice as her whole being.


    ¡°Yes?¡± I asked looking at the cheerleader whose name is Jewel. This is the first time that I ever used this tone with anyone.


    She smiled and shook her head. When she stood up she smiled at Kian before turning to me. Then she winks at me. I was distracted by it. I looked at Kian who also immediately met my eyes. He hugged me.


    ¡°Don¡¯t mind her,¡± he whispered.


    Jewel walked back to where she and her group were. I sat down too. Kian¡¯s friends were quiet. They are not talking now about anything like they used to. It seems all their attentions were on me.


    I have a quiz for my two subjects this afternoon. Even though I thoughtst night to talk to them, scold or threaten, I didn¡¯t.


    Good thing is that they didn¡¯t ask permission again to let Kian go with them. Some students talked about Jeron¡¯s birthday, their friend. I did not greet him. They didn¡¯t tell me either. And maybe when I greet him, he¡¯ll ask me to let Kian go with them again.


    That¡¯s the time when I finally burst out with anger. I don¡¯t want bad vibes as much as possible.


    Kian walked me to my ssroom. Five minutes before our sses will start.


    ¡°I¡¯ll wait for youter,¡± he said.


    His ss will be done thirty minutes before my ss. I nodded my head. He gently stroked my neck and forehead.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    ¡°You okay?¡± he asked while frowning. I shooked my head.


    ¡°Go into your room. I love you so much, Moo,¡± he whispered before cing a kiss on my lips.


    The ss went well. I also answered the questions in our quiz well. Our ss ended early as expected. I feel exhausted. That¡¯s why I want to go home, and lie down in bed early.


    Before I could stand up, my ssmate approach me.


    ¡°Beth, are youing with us?¡± she asked. Unlike Macy, we barely talk. I shooked my head to say no.


    ¡°We are graduating. You shoulde with us. You¡¯ll enjoy it!¡± She thought I would be enticed but I shooked my head again. Nothing could change my mind. I¡¯m not really into parties even before. I will not definitely enjoy it. They might also call me kill joy if I forced myself to join them.


    She sighed. One of Macy¡¯s friends also approached and convinced me. Seems that they are all going into that party. It¡¯s the first time that someone ask me to join them which I politely rejected.

 Chapter 16 Flirt

    ¡°Come with us. I know your reason is because you are already married,¡± she replied and the other one nodded.


    ¡°Your husband is your reason. But why is your husband enjoying? Loosen up a bit.¡±


    The little smile disappeared from my lips. It was as if they were interfering too much with my life. Macy stopped them. But they just shook their heads.


    ¡°It¡¯s true. She lets his husband go to the bar. She doesn¡¯t know-hmm!¡±


    Macy covered her mouth.


    ¡°Sorry. Your life is not our business. Just let them go,¡± Macy apologized. But no.


    Because of what they said, I felt so strange in my system. I took a deep breath and ignored them.


    I exited the ssroom and went straight to the benches where Kian was always waiting for me. I saw him sitting there with Jewel. From here I could see Kian¡¯s dark face. It seems to me he¡¯s holding back his anger. What are they talking about?


    I cleared my throat a few meters away from them so they would know I wasing. Kian immediately stood up when he saw me. He hugged me and immediately pulled me to the parking lot. I was silent until we got home.


    I was waiting for him to exin aboutst night. I want him to tell me why hees homete. But until we ate dinner he said nothing. All he¡¯s telling me is his ns to date me over the weekend. I need to review it. And he also needed to review, so I said no.


    ¡°O-Okay.¡±


    When the nightes he¡¯s asking me for sex but I refuse. My head hurts and I¡¯m not in the mood. Especially since he doesn¡¯t give me the exnation I wanted. He hugged me and said it was okay. He massaged my head until I fell asleep.


    I woke up around nine-thirty. I saw him still awake and focused on his cellphone. I hugged him and it pulled me back to sleep.


    I woke up again and it was still dawn because I want to urinate. Before I went back to bed I looked at Kian¡¯s cellphone that was charging. I opened it and immediately looked in his inbox. It¡¯s clean. Only our conversations and his parents were there. Not even with his friends.


    The call log was clean too. I looked at his blocked messages and almost gasped for breath when I saw a number there with three messages. I realize that it was from Jewel.


    ¡°How about I tell your wife about it?¡±Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    ¡°Tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°Muah!¡±


    I looked at Kian. It was as if I wanted to p him while he was asleep. I can¡¯t sleep back. I also can¡¯t understand how I feel right now. I left the room and went to the living room. I sat down on the sofa.


    What does that message from Jewel mean? I didn¡¯t sleep much on the sofa Iy there until morning. I did not prepare breakfast. I took a shower and leave immediately.


    Kian will take care of himself. I want to talk to this Jewel girl. Whatever her n was. I¡¯m sure she won¡¯t seed. I know what she¡¯s trying to do. My husband is mine!


    When I came to the university I sat down on one of the benches first. I will wait for that Jewel.


    ¡°Beth, you¡¯re early today,¡± Macy approached me. I nodded and looked around.


    ¡°Are you okay?¡± she asked. Even though we¡¯re not totally close, it¡¯s as if she knows my attitude.


    I picked up the mini cake I had bought earlier at the bakeshop outside the vige for her. Her forehead furrowed.


    ¡°Happy birthday,¡± I said. She smiled sweetly.


    ¡°Thank you. I didn¡¯t expect this.¡±


    I just smiled. I watched her for a few seconds. Her face was serious.


    ¡°I may look like a person who doesn¡¯t care and is stupid but I also have a feeling,¡± I said while looking at my feet.


    ¡°What should your friend say to me if you didn¡¯t stop her from speaking yesterday?¡± I turned to her.


    I could see the ripple of his throat at what I said.


    ¡°I know I am so distant from everyone. But, I want you to know that you are the only person that I can call my friend here.¡±


    ¡°Beth,¡± she sighed. ¡°We saw Kian at the bar with his friends. Then, Jewel and her friends show up. They sat there. You know what happens next. She tried to flirt with him. And even tried to kiss him.¡±


    I nodded.


    ¡°And then he¡¯s in a hurry to go home?¡± I added to what she was saying. She nodded.


    I don¡¯t know why I am not even surprised. But the fact that his friends lied to me made me feel bad. They said that the birthday party would be held at Raul¡¯s house but it wasn¡¯t. And Kian didn¡¯t even exin it to me. I will not be angry. What we promised each other is that we should tell everything. No secrets. But why didn¡¯t he tell me?


    ¡°Then the second time they¡¯re at the bar again. Jewel is making a scene again.¡± She took a deep breath and I continued what she was saying.


    ¡°Did they kiss?¡±


    She didn¡¯t answer. So, they did kiss. Macy looks like he has a lot more to say but we saw Kianing our way. His face was serious. He looks angry.


    ¡°A-All right, I¡¯ll be in the room first,¡± Macy said goodbye and left immediately.


    When Kian came across me he immediately hugged me. Contrary to my expectations.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t wake me up,¡± he said.


    ¡°Ah¡­ I went in first because I forgot something yesterday,¡± I lied. He nodded.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t eat. Come on, let¡¯s eat first. We still have less than twenty minutes,¡± he said.


    We ate quietly because we needed to get to our own sses. As we exited the canteen we encountered exactly the reason why Ie here early.


    She smirks. I smirk back.


    Just so you wait,ter.

 Chapter 17 Other woman

    Lunch break came, Macy and I never talk again. I knew she was looking at me from time to time but because of the intensity of the emotion I was feeling, I tried to ignore her.


    Or maybe because when I see the pity in her eyes I¡¯ll just burst into tears. She witnessed what happened. She witnessed Kian¡¯s grip on temptation. I don¡¯t want to cry. Even if it¡¯s just a kiss or make-out, it¡¯s painful.


    But what if it wasn¡¯t just a kiss? What if there was more than that? No!


    Whether it¡¯s just a smack or whatever, it¡¯s still an act of cheating.


    At lunch break, Kian picked me up out of my room. He smiled. He immediately hugged and kissed me. I sighed and smiledzily at him.


    I don¡¯t know what I should feel. My emotions are already turbulent. My heart was not yet calm. But we are inside the university. We should not be seen by others fighting. I don¡¯t want Jewel to see or know that we have a misunderstanding. It will satisfy her and that is thest thing I don¡¯t want to happen.


    ¡°Beth, ¡± his friends greeted me. Not like yesterday, they are noisy again. Having fun and just having fun. I just nodded at them. I sat down and looked at the food in front of me. Kian probably asked his friends to order us food.


    I sighed before I touched the spoon and fork. Kian was just looking at me.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you like it, Moo?¡± he asked me. I smiled sparingly at him. I didn¡¯t answer because I had already started eating. His friends fell into silence.


    The other table where Jewel and her friends were seated was noisy. But I did not bother to pay attention or even care on what they are talking about. A friend of Kian cleared his throat to grab my attention. I seem to know what they are going to say.


    ¡°Beth, we have a night swimming today.¡± There was hesitation in his tone.


    ¡°Is that a school activity? Per group? For one of your subjects?¡± I asked them insipidly without looking at them.


    ¡°Not like that¡­¡±


    I didn¡¯t speak and just continued eating. They got noisy again


    ¡°We just wanted to-¡±


    ¡°No,¡± I quickly said. ¡°So?¡±


    I shook and breathed heavily. I looked at Kian who was now frowning and staring at me. I looked at him coldly causing him to be dumbfounded.


    ¡°Do you want to go with them?¡± I asked him. He shooked his head hesitantly.


    ¡°No,¡± he replied so I turned to his friends and raised an eyebrow.


    We didn¡¯t talk anymore. Everyone ate quietly. I quickly ate my food so I got up first. Kian also stood up immediately even though he hadn¡¯t finished what he was eating.


    ¡°I¡¯m still going to the library. Just finish your food,¡± I said and walked away but he stopped me. He hugged me and kissed me on my cheek.


    I didn¡¯t talk. I left the canteen and went straight to the restroom.


    Earlier, my chest tightened. I have been holding back my annoyance and anger a while ago. I wanted to explode but I didn¡¯t. My tears slowly poured out as I stared at myself in the mirror. But I immediately wiped it when I heard footsteps approaching. I washed it up.


    ¡°Hi, Beth,¡± Macy greeted me. I smiled in the mirror where I could see them.


    They looked at me as I wiped my face. I remember that Macy and I hadn¡¯t finished talking yet. Knowing her friends know about Kian and Jewel so I don¡¯t have to secretly talk to Macy anymore.


    ¡°Do you think something happened to them after that kiss? Did they leave the bar together?¡± I asked.


    It¡¯s the birthday of one of his friends and they said that the celebration will be held only at his house. Macy¡¯s friends looked at each other. Macy was staring at me. I don¡¯t like how she looks at me. Do I look pitiful?


    ¡°He pushed Jewel and then hurriedly left the bar even though his friends are calling him.¡±


    But he didn¡¯t go home right away.


    ¡°Jewel followed her so we followed her too. Because we thought that your husband might be betraying you,¡± said the other one. I did not talk. I waited for what they will say next.


    ¡°Kian went straight to the parking lot. Jewel followed him. He pushed her away. He even shouted at Jewel because she was teasing him for them to go to his condo.¡±


    ¡°Kian is furious. I don¡¯t think he meant what happened. I don¡¯t know. Kissing another woman is also an act of cheating especially if you are married, ¡°said Macy¡¯s friend. She even rolled his eyes. She was the showiest in their group.


    ¡°We didn¡¯t hear what they were talking about because we were watching from afar. But Jewel entered the bar again. Then Kian got in his car. He didn¡¯t leave right away. Maybe he was frustrated or thinking about Jewel¡¯s offer- ouch!¡±


    Macy pped her friend. I nodded. I wonder what happened the other night. I should have asked more but other students are now entering the restroom.


    Kian had a text message when my ss ended. He said I¡¯ll wait for him on the benches because they were just finishing an activity. I said I would wait in fifteen minutes.


    ¡°Bye, Beth,¡± Macy¡¯s friends said goodbye. I smiled and waved.


    Macy tapped me on the shoulder before silently walking out of the room. I also left the room and walked over to the benches.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    I was about to sit down when Jewel and her friends approached me. I dropped my bag on the bench and looked at Jewel seriously. I felt nervous, including the annoyance with her always smiling, a demon face.


    Before she could utter words to annoy me, I preceded her.


    ¡°Stay away from my husband,¡± I said softly but emphatically. She looked surprised so I rolled my eyes at her.


    ¡°She knows how to fight when her husband is involved.¡± Theyughed.


    I am not fond of talking so I can¡¯t think of anything to say but to threaten her and warn her to stay away from my husband. This is frustrating!


    ¡°Stay away from my husband!¡±


    Sheughed.


    ¡°Are you afraid I might take your husband away from you?¡± She said mockingly.


    ¡°No matter what you do, you can never take him away. You can¡¯t separate us!¡± I wanted to say more but my instinct told me not to. In my mind, I am already dissecting her annoying face.


    ¡°What if I can?¡±


    This girl! I clenched my fist. My body wants to strangle her but my mind tells me not to. I felt Macy¡¯s hands grip on my arm. They haven¡¯t left for home yet.


    Jewel continues to utter annoying words to mock me. What I had in mind was that I¡¯ll be defeated if I can¡¯t even p her now. So I step forward. Macy¡¯s hand is holding me back.


    ¡°Woah! What¡¯s going on here?¡± Kian¡¯s friends immediately intervened. I looked sharply at Jewel.


    ¡°Come on, Beth. You¡¯re a graduating student. Remember,¡± Macy said.


    Kian¡¯s friends followed me. Asking what happened. So, the annoyance I had for them the other day was suppressed and the annoyance I felt with Jewel I heaped on them. I confronted them.


    ¡°I know you don¡¯t want me for your friend.¡± They were shocked by what I said. ¡°But I hope you have respect. He is already married. Then where are you taking him? It¡¯s like you¡¯re still pushing him to betray me. What kind of friends are you? You liars!¡±


    I tried to keep my voice whole even though I was trembling with anger. I noticed a lot of students watching around so I turned my back on them. On my front, I saw Kian¡¯s face in shock.


    Probably shocked that I knew what he did and he was lying to me. I want to reprove him here but I don¡¯t want everyone¡¯s attention will be on us. Why does he have to drag me into a situation like this always? I looked at him sharply before I drifted off as Macy pulled me away. When we got to the parking lot Kian chased me.


    ¡°Moo.¡±


    I did not look at him. Macy¡¯s car door opened. I went in no matter what Kian will do to stop me.


    ¡°Moo, please. Let¡¯s talk,¡± he begged.

 Chapter 18 Hurt

    ¡°Go ahead, just cry. It will lessen the pain,¡± Macy said while driving. I wiped away the tears that wanted to fall.


    It really hurts deep inside me. I wanted to cry to reduce the weight I felt on my chest but also didn¡¯t want to shed any tears. I asked her to drop me off at the mall a few meters away from our house.


    ¡°Be careful. If you need someone to talk to, I am just here,¡± she said before stopping the car. I just nodded at her and thanked her.


    Kian called my number several times a while ago so I blocked his number. Even on my social media ounts. I don¡¯t want to talk to him. As much as possible I also don¡¯t want to see his face. But we go to the same school. We go home to the same house. I don¡¯t know what to do now.


    I walked around the mall untilte at night. I don¡¯t feel hungry. Nothinges into my mind. I don¡¯t know what to do and still thought of what had happened.


    As far as I know, he lied and deceived me. I really want to reprove him. But I don¡¯t want to utter hurtful words that I might regretter.


    It was almost ten o¡¯clock in the evening so I decided to take a taxi to go home- to my house. I did not look at the other house. But I¡¯m sure the light is still off there. Looks like he didn¡¯te home yet. What is his n now? Does he really stand up to whatever he and Jewel had in between them?


    ¡°Moo.¡±


    I was surprised when Kian suddenly called me. He was sitting outside the door of my parents¡¯ house. He seems to expect me toe home here. I didn¡¯t speak to him and didn¡¯t even look at him. I took the key from my bag while ignoring Kian.


    I pushed him because he tries to reach my hands. Forced me to hug him. I don¡¯t want to shout. I don¡¯t want to utter hurtful words.


    Even when I¡¯m hurting I try to stay calm. But that doesn¡¯t mean I¡¯m okay with what he did. That we are just fine. We are not okay the moment he lied to me.


    ¡°Please, let me exin,¡± he begged. Not now that I am really mad, hurt, and disappointed. I shooked my head and after I opened the door of our house I immediately went in and closed it.


    I can hear Kian¡¯s plea but I tried to ignore it. I went up to my room. I slid through the door while suppressing my tears. I heard Kian begging outside to talk to me. I feel my chest get heavier and heavier. I calmed myself before Iy down and chose to sleep with the pain and heaviness I felt.


    I woke up around six in the morning because my stomach hurt. I remember, I didn¡¯t eatst night. I got up and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. I will eat at the fast food outside the vige before I go straight to school. I still feel heavy in my chest.


    The pain I felt increased even more. I didn¡¯t feel likeing to school but I didn¡¯t want to waste what I had worked for for a few years just because of what Kian did. I don¡¯t want the money my parents paid for the expensive tuition fee at the university I¡¯m attending to be in vain.


    When I opened the door, Kian¡¯s face is what I see. He was carrying a food container that I¡¯m sure contained the food he cooked.


    ¡°G-Good morning, Moo,¡± he said stammering. He couldn¡¯t look into my eyes and he was also undecided whether to smile or not.


    I did not speak. I immediately closed the door of the house.


    ¡°I-I cooked a breakfast for you. Are you going now? Have a breakfast first,¡± he said. I remembered the effort I made for the surprise dinnerst night, so here¡¯s my annoyance again. I looked at him sharply which made him dumbfounded.


    ¡°Moo, eat first. I woke up early so I could cook for you-¡±


    ¡°So, should I be thanking you for what you did?¡± I asked sarcastically.


    ¡°Moo¡­¡±


    ¡°Let me go first, Kian. I¡¯m pissed. I¡¯m so mad at you. So you¡¯d better stay away from me first. Don¡¯t show yourself to me now.¡± I could see the fear in his eyes so I averted my gaze.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Moo. Please, let me exin.¡±


    ¡°If I didn¡¯t find out, would you tell me? If I didn¡¯t know the truth¡­¡± I took a deep breath and looked up as I felt tears forming in my eyes. I didn¡¯t continue what I should say.


    I immediately turned my back on him, before I could utter bad and hurtful words to him.


    I forced to eat a lot to gain strength. When I arrived at the university I passed on Jewel on the benches.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t see you came in together,¡± she said with a smirk on her lips. This woman has a very thick face.


    ¡°So, does it mean you two were separated already?¡±


    I smiled.


    ¡°You wish.¡±


    That¡¯s all I said. Did she think that she can make us separate that easily? While I was in ss, my phone vibrated. The text message was from an unregistered number.


    ¡°Moo, let¡¯s have lunch togetherter. I¡¯m sorry. Please, let me exin. Let¡¯s talk. Don¡¯t be like this.¡±


    I rolled my eyes. It¡¯s either he¡¯s using his friend¡¯s number or he bought another number. I blocked the number he used just now.


    Kian came to see me after my morning ss. I ignored him. He also didn¡¯t try to approach me or to kiss and hug me like he always does.


    He said he ordered food and we would just eat on the bench under the tree. Maybe he thought I didn¡¯t want to eat with his friends and to avoid Jewel who is always on his side. I don¡¯t want to make a scene and I don¡¯t want Jewel to know that my husband and I are in a fight because of what happened. So even though it¡¯s against my will and even though I am very angry with Kian, I went with him and we ate lunch together. He didn¡¯t try to say any word.


    He knew that I don¡¯t want to create any scene here. Because I don¡¯t want other people¡¯s attention on us. After we ate, he walked me to my ssroom.


    In the afternoon, we didn¡¯t go home together because my ss ended earlier. I went home to my parents¡¯ house.


    At eight o¡¯clock in the evening, Kian knocked on the door of my house. I didn¡¯t open it even though he called my name several times.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    ¡°Remember, I love you so much. It¡¯s just you,¡± he said.


    It made me cry even harder. Why is it so hard to believe what he told? If he loves me why he was tempted that easily? Why did he lie? Why did he cheat on me?

 Chapter 19 Surprise

    It¡¯s been over a month since I returned to my parents¡¯ house. Going to school alone. Have lunch with Kian. Sometimes I don¡¯t eat lunch and I just hang out in the library to avoid him. He cooks dinner but I don¡¯t eat it.


    He leaves flowers, choctes, and gifts outside the door of my house but I just leave them outside the house. I noticed that he avoided his friends at the university.


    Even though I ignored him he tried to make it up to me. That¡¯s why when my parents came home for our uing graduation, I have no choice but to go home to Kian¡¯s house.


    I don¡¯t want my parents to find out what happened to us because I don¡¯t want them to feel bad about it. Kian is still my husband.


    Yes, I¡¯m angry but not in my vocabry to divorce him because I can see that he¡¯s making an effort. That he loves me so much.


    My parents and I ate dinner. I am quiet the whole time. While my parents were talking about the business and Kian also answered them. Kian was into business. And my parents are happy for him because of that.


    ¡°After graduation, will we expect a grandchild?¡± Mom asked.


    Iughed awkwardly. Kian looked at me smiling.


    ¡°I n to marry Beth in church before we¡¯ll have a baby,¡± Kian replied to my parents. Mom¡¯s smile widened. Touched with Kian¡¯s words. I could see the joy in her eyes.


    ¡°You really love our daughter,¡± Mom said.


    ¡°Very much,¡± Kian replied. I felt my eyes get wet because of his answer, so I lowered my head.


    After dinner, my parents went home to the other house. It got awkward when it was just the two of us. He scratched his head awkwardly.


    ¡°Just sleep in our r-room. I will sleep in the other room,¡± he said.


    I nodded. He thought I was going to contradict what he said. I didn¡¯t want him to be next to the bed. Before I went upstairs he held my hand.


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk first, please,¡± he begged. I sighed and sat down on the couch. He sat down next to me. A few minutes passed but he still did not speak.


    ¡°Did something happen between you and that girl?¡± I asked.


    He shooked his head. ¡°Nothing, Moo.¡±


    I nodded. Somehow I felt relieved. He sighed.


    ¡°On Raul¡¯s birthday- ¡±


    I didn¡¯t want him to tell me how he and Jewel kissed so I cut him off.


    ¡°When you said you were finishing a project. Were you telling the truth then?¡± I asked.


    He nodded.


    ¡°Then howe you came homete and you still smell of alcohol?¡±


    ¡°Jewel send me an image of us kissing. She threatened me that she would show it to you.¡±


    ¡°So you chose to go with her instead of going home to your wife who prepared a surprise dinner for you on your monthsary?¡± I asked him bitterly.


    He looks dumbfounded. He closed his eyes and shooked his head softly. Maybe he realized how stupid he was.


    ¡°You¡¯re afraid of her ckmail rather thane home to me and tell me the truth. You chose to cover up what happened rather than tell your wife about it?¡± I kept asking.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t go to her. I just went with Raul to drink.¡±


    ¡°You chose your friends. What¡¯s the difference?¡± I nodded as I wiped the tears that streamed down my cheeks.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Moo. I¡¯m scared. I don¡¯t want to hurt you. But I hope you don¡¯t think I betrayed you. I love you. Very much.¡±


    I did not answer. I kept staring at my feet even though my vision was blurred because of my tears.


    ¡°Do you still love me? Please, tell me if you still love me?¡± he begged. His voice broke. I stood up and walked.


    ¡°Even if you hurt me, I still love you. But that doesn¡¯t mean you can cheat on me and lie. Goodnight.¡± I silently went upstairs. I slept with somewhat reduced weight on my chest that I had been carrying for a month.


    ¡°Beth!¡±


    I continued walking even though I heard Kian¡¯s friends calling my name. What do they need from me? They elerated their pace so that they caught up with me and blocked my path. I looked at themzily.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry for what happened. We want you to know that we didn¡¯t push Kian to betray you because he didn¡¯t betray you.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, we¡¯re idiots because we lied without saying where we were really going. We just really wanted him to be able to have fun with us.¡±


    ¡°We like you for Kian. I know he loves you dearly.¡±


    I looked at them one by one.


    ¡°How much did Kian pay you?¡± I asked. They scratched their necks shyly.


    ¡°What¡¯s with the pay? We took the initiative toe forward to exin and apologize to you,¡± Raul replied defensively.


    ¡°Our graduation is tomorrow. We don¡¯t want to end up with resentment. I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    I nodded.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Izily replied. They were already smiling.


    ¡°And because of that,¡± Raul said before pulling the white handkerchief from his bag. I winced.


    ¡°What is that?¡± I asked when he approached me.


    ¡°We have a surprise for you,¡± they said.


    ¡°Hey! I don¡¯t!¡± I backed away.


    ¡°Hey! What¡¯s that?¡± Macy and her friends asked. They immediately approached us.


    ¡°This is a surprise for Beth. If you want to know thene with us.¡±


    ¡°If this is bullshit, I don¡¯t want to!¡± I said. Raul scratched his head. They look disappointed.


    ¡°I already told Kian that she doesn¡¯t trust us,¡± someone whispered.


    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± I asked.


    Yeah, where is Kian?


    ¡°Kian asked our help for the surprise he made for you.¡±


    I looked at them seriously. I snorted and thought slightly.


    ¡°If it¡¯s bullshit, I will not forgive you for life,¡± I threatened.


    They nodded. Macy and I got in Raul¡¯s car. The others apanied Macy¡¯s friends in their car. I can¡¯t see because my eyes are blindfolded.


    It took us less than an hour before the car stopped. I can hear the water flowing. It was impossible that we were at the sea so I was sure we were at a resort.


    I felt nervous. I feel like I¡¯m going to pee and get poop. It¡¯s like some things digging into my stomach.


    ¡°What now?¡± I¡¯m asked.


    We stopped walking. I could hear the voices of other men, whispering.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    ¡°Where is he?¡± Macy¡¯s friend asked.


    I can¡¯t wait anymore so I removed the blindfold from my eyes. It was as if something warm touch my heart when I saw everything. There are flowers,nterns, and, LED lights all around. I smiled. I look around.


    Until I see the man who¡¯s behind of this surprise. He exits cottage door that is few inches away at the table that was set. And behind him was the familiar face of a woman, who¡¯s almost naked. Her body was only wrapped by a bath towel. She was shocked to see me. I turned my gaze back to Kian. He was still fully dressed but I noticed that he was adjusting the zipper of his denim pants.

 Chapter 20 Annulment

    It took a few seconds before Kian notice our presence. He looks stunned. I have not been able to move where I have been since we got here. I don¡¯t even know what to do or what to think. All I know is that I am badly hurt. He hurt me again. What¡¯s his excuse this time?


    ¡°M-Moo¡­¡± he called me stammering. My vision began to blur. He called me Moo without thinking about the meaning of that endearment that he kept on calling me. Moo. My only one.


    Really, Kian? You are not a man of your words.


    ¡°Babe,¡± Jewel called Kian causing my chest to tighten even more. I shooked. Kian¡¯s eyes were begging. He stepped closer to me so I also stepped back a few times. It was like we were the only three people here because those with us were quiet. Watching or maybe they are shocked as hell too.


    ¡°L-Let me exin.¡± He continue to step forward but I kept on moving backward. I don¡¯t want to hear any of his excuses again. I turned around and red at his friends. I shuddered in extreme frustration. If only I could p them one by one.


    ¡°Y-You all nned this! To h-hurt me!¡± My voice trembled. Even my mouth was trembling because I tried not to choke because of the lump I¡¯m feeling in my throat.


    ¡°Are you happy now?¡± I wanted to scream but a faint voice came out of my mouth. I feel weak, hurt, and bruised. They made me a fool! They all look shocked but when they recover, they shook their heads at the same time.


    ¡°Moo.¡±


    There were arms that hugged me from behind.


    ¡°Get. Off. Me.¡± I forcefully untie his arms that are tightly wrapped around me. He holds on to me so tight like he doesn¡¯t want to let me go. But at what he did. He already let go of me. My hand clung tightly to our rtionship but he let go just for the other woman.


    ¡°Let me go, Kian¡­¡±


    ¡°No, Moo. I am not letting you go.¡±


    In the word he omitted, there are two meanings.


    Macy¡¯se up to us. I have forcibly pulled away from Kian. Because of his weakness, he let me go. He sat down on the ground.


    ¡°Please, Moo¡­¡±


    I wiped away the tears before looking at him sharply. I don¡¯t want him to see how deeply hurt I was.


    ¡°You know what? You are the biggest mistake I have ever made!¡± I also looked at Jewel seriously. ¡°I hope your parents can be proud of you for what you did. It¡¯s a waste of money they sent you to school.¡±


    I took a quick step away. Macy was speechless. While Barbara was cursing but she was purely whispering that you thought she was a bee.


    I heard Kian shouting my name. He tried to stop me but his woman stopped him and then his friends who I think are very happy now. I could barely see my feet because of the tears that had been pouring from my eyes.


    ¡°If I were you, I should have pped them all,¡± Barbara said. I can feel her anger at what happened. I hope I am like her so I can do that.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go back there. You¡¯ll feel better when you p them. Promise!¡±


    I ignored her. All I want is to get out of this ce. I want to go home. Lock myself in the room and cry all the pain I¡¯m feeling now.


    While in the taxi, I cried quietly. Macy put his arm around me as sheforted me.


    ¡°Just cry¡­¡± she whispered. Her soft voice made me cry even more.


    ¡°Where will I bring you?¡± asked the taxi driver.


    ¡°Do you want to go home?¡± Macy asked. I remember my parents. As much as possible I don¡¯t want them to see me like this.


    I shooked my head. Macy told the address to the driver. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s at her house or Barbara¡¯s house or wherever it is.


    We had not even entered the gate of Macy¡¯s house when someone called her.


    ¡°Oh, Sunny. Where are you going?¡± Macy asked.


    ¡°Club,¡± Macy¡¯s friend replied, ¡°Come on. Come with us! I already asked your Mommy and Daddy earlier.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s a good idea!¡± Barbara said, ¡°That¡¯s perfect, we have a friend here that just got brokenhearted. What, Beth? Let¡¯s go?¡±


    They are all waiting for my answer. I have never been to a bar before. But I didn¡¯t want to ruin their night so I nodded. I also don¡¯t want to go home first so maybe I should spend time at the bar. Maybe alcohol can numb my mind and body from the pain I am feeling right now.


    We went into Macy¡¯s house to change our clothes. She lends us clothes. The people she talked to earlier were downstairs waiting. It¡¯s still early so there¡¯s no need to be in hurry.


    I took a shower first and put on the dress they chose for me. It was a ck halter top dress that¡¯s hugging my body. It is above the knee length. They help me with my make-up because I don¡¯t know how to do it.


    I was surprised when we entered the bar because of the loud music. The dancing light was intoxicating and the cigarette smoke was painful to the nose. The bodies of the people who danced on the dance floor were almost touching me. We chose the seats at the end of the bar because that was the only vacant.


    Sunny ordered drinks. What they ordered is what I ordered. We are just the same age. They are also graduating but they studied at another university.


    Sunny is Macy¡¯s rtive. Sunny is with her best friend, Yona. With theirpany, I almost forget that I recently caught my husband with someone else. That they tricked me with his gang. My eyes dimmed again.


    ¡°You¡¯re going to drink that,¡± Yona said as she handed me a ss of wine. I took it and drink it straightly. But I also immediately winced when I tasted the mixture of bitterness and hotness. I almost fainted. Theyughed.


    ¡°Swallow it!¡± they saidughing.


    I have a hard time swallowing the drink. Why do some people love wine, when its taste is ugly?


    I only drank a few shots. I don¡¯t want to get drunk because I¡¯m going home. I don¡¯t want Mom to think I¡¯m doing something bad.


    I texted them earlier. I said I would go out with my friends to celebrate. Mom replied, she¡¯s asking me if I¡¯m with Kian. Looks like Kian hasn¡¯te home yet. He did not follow me either. He did not look for me. It looks like he doesn¡¯t really care about me anymore.


    I feel like crying again.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a man,¡± Yona said. ¡°Were you cheated? Reced by someone else?¡±


    I nodded slowly.


    ¡°Swap it for someone else too. Don¡¯t waste your beauty on a man who doesn¡¯t know your worth!¡± Sunny said.


    ¡°If he exchanges you for someone else, is he sure that he will forget you? You? you haven¡¯tpletely forgotten even when Eliot became your boyfriend¡­¡± There was a teasing melody in Sunny¡¯s tone.


    ¡°Tsk ¡­ Don¡¯t use a man to forget.¡± Sunny drank from his ss.


    ¡°Three or four should¡­¡± she added which made the whole groupugh.


    ¡°She¡¯s married,¡± Macy whispered.


    Yona sighed. She looks at me with disbelief. It¡¯s like she¡¯s saying why did I get married at a very young age? She shrugged.


    ¡°That¡¯s why there is an annulment. So that when your rtionship stops working, you can still separate in legal ways. You don¡¯t deserve him,¡± Yona said before drinking again.


    What she said was running through my mind until I said goodbye and go home. I am not drunk but I felt a little dizzy. Sunny and Yona offered to drive me home which I refused. I can do it. I took a taxi home. When I was left alone, I felt the pain again.


    So when Mom opened the door for me, I immediately hugged her. I can¡¯t stop crying either.


    ¡°Mom¡­¡± I cried to her. I don¡¯t know how to say it.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    ¡°What happened?¡± She led me until we sat on the sofa. I did not let her go. I remained hugging her as I squeezed her shoulder.


    I continued to cry as she stroked my hair and purely asked what had happened.


    ¡°What happened?¡± Dad asked. Perhaps he wondered why Mom hadn¡¯t returned to their room right away, so he went downstairs.


    ¡°D-Dad¡­¡± I cried. I was preceded by crying so I could not speak.


    ¡°What happened?¡± His face and voice were serious. I shooked and cried even more. He attended to me and immediately hugged me.


    ¡°It hurts!¡± That¡¯s all I¡¯ve got to say. Daddy was silent while Mommy was confused about what had happened.


    Dad let go and violently stood up. I was rmed because I felt like he was going to do something bad.


    ¡°He¡¯s stupid!¡± he shouted sharply. I hugged him. I shook. Even Mommy hugged Daddy.


    When we all calmed down we sat quietly on the big sofa. I was in the middle of my parents without saying a word, but I could feel the pain they are now feeling for me.


    ¡°Please help me, Dad, Mom¡­¡± I begged them.


    They looked at me while waiting for what I would say next.


    ¡°I want to file an annulment.¡±


    Dad looked at me seriously. Mom, on the other hand, is now crying.

 Chapter 21 Goodbye

    I didn¡¯t sleep well but I still woke up early. I felt heavy in my head and chest. It still hurts a lot but I can¡¯t take it anymore. I¡¯ve cried a lot and no tears areing out. Does that mean I epted what happened?


    Today is our graduation. I should be happy because all my hard work will be paid off. I will finish with flying colors. Same as Kian. But I couldn¡¯t even get excited.


    I was also thinking of not attending my graduation. I can still get my diploma and my dean¡¯s awards. I also have a graduation picture that Mom and Dad immediately hung on the wall. But this day is special, and important to my parents who worked hard for me to attend a prestigious university.


    I gawked for a few seconds. I remember what happened yesterday. I took a deep breath. I don¡¯t want to think about what happened anymore. Because I don¡¯t want to be hurt again. Kian and my ns will never happen anymore. I will be the only one to fulfill my dreams.


    I¡¯m used to being alone. It¡¯s not a big deal to me. Maybe, I should travel and do something fun while I am on a vacation. Yeah, how about I spend one month travel to some beautiful tourist attraction in the country before applying for a job. I want to have fun before I start working. So that my depression will vanish.


    I got up early but I went down at noon. I was greeted immediately by the noiseing from the living room. Our rtives are here. There are gifts ced on the side of our house. There are also flowers and balloons that are very nicely arranged.


    I smiled and waved at them. We are not very close, especially since my cousins ??and I didn¡¯t grow up together. Also, I am a loner unlike them who are used to be socializing. But I am happy and they are here now for me.


    ¡°Congrattions!¡± they greeted and kissed me on my cheeks.


    ¡°Thank you ¡­¡±


    The curtain parted so I could see Kian¡¯s house just across from ours. There are cars parked outside and I am sure their rtives are there as well. My cousin Liz told me that Kian was here a while ago. She said that Kian gave me thergest bouquet of roses in various colors.


    I don¡¯t know what that flower is for. Is it to congratte me on our graduation? Because I¡¯m sure that what happenedst night haspletely ruined our rtionship.


    He nned for it and that¡¯s for sure. He didn¡¯t even try to exin or chase after me. It¡¯s not that it would change my mind about us, though.


    At least he should have tried to be honest with me. But I thought, if he had told me the truth before, would it be easier for me to ept or would I be even more hurt?


    I have things on my mind because of what happened. Kian and I didn¡¯t really love each other before we got married. We didn¡¯t even be friends. Dad insisted on the marriage, but it was Kian¡¯s fault. And it was also my fault that I didn¡¯t speak up and refused when dad insisted that we should get married. Maybe Kian just said yes so our parents would not be on bad terms. I thought we were okay. But it¡¯s not.


    Graduation will be at three o¡¯clock in the afternoon, so after we had lunch, my cousins ??started helping me with my get-up. It was half-past two when we arrived at the venue.


    I graduated as magna cumude and Kian graduated as cumude. I have tears in my eyes when he goes to the stage to ept his diploma and award. When he turned around I immediately looked down. I also didn¡¯t roam my eyes because I might see Jewel and her friends.


    ¡°Congrats!¡± Macy and I greeted each other.


    We cried together but both had smiles on our lips. Everyone is emotional, especially the parents. After the ceremony, everyone became busy with picture taking with friends and some rtives.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Some of my ssmates approached me for a picture. After that, I also approached my parents who were crying. They hugged me both.


    ¡°Congrats, dear. We¡¯re so proud of you!¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Mom, Dad. I owe you everything.¡±


    They both shooked their heads, ¡°It¡¯s our responsibility as your parents.¡±


    ¡°And I promise that I will repay you for all that you have done for me.¡±


    ¡°Congrats, Beth!¡±


    ¡°Congrats, cousin!¡±


    My rtives also came to me for picture taking. A few momentster, Kian¡¯s parents also approached us. They both congratte me. They were very happy. They don¡¯t seem to know what happened yet.


    They are not at fault so I treated them normally. So did my parents. They introduced me to some of their rtives.


    ¡°Our daughter-inw,¡± they happily introduced me. I almost forgot that Kian and I were still married. Their rtives shook my hands and kissed me.


    Later on, Kian also approached us.


    ¡°Congrattions, Moo. I¡¯m so proud of you,¡± he greeted me. He immediately hugged me to my surprise.


    ¡°C-Congrats too,¡± I greeted back. I held back my tears.


    ¡°Let¡¯s talkter, okay?¡± he whispered to me in a very tender and pleading tone.


    I didn¡¯t say a word but I nodded slowly. We became the target of temptation by his cousins ??and my cousins. They want us to kiss. And Kian is on it.


    He kissed me on my cheeks and they immediately took a picture of us. I have to act normally because they don¡¯t know what happened.


    I also need to show those who knew us that we are okay even if we are not. As much as possible I want that it¡¯s only us who knew everything like when we suddenly got married.


    His ssmates called her, so he left me for a while. He invited me to join but Macy immediately approached me and pulled me into their group.


    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± she asked.


    I just shooked my head and smiled sparingly.


    ¡°They don¡¯t know yet?¡± she asked in a whisper. I nodded and sighed.


    ¡°Come on, let¡¯s take a picture with the others,¡± I said to her. I want my graduation photo album to be full so that I can open more when I get older.


    Memories that I will cherish when I got old and for life.


    I turned to Kian who was having fun with his ssmates. I noticed Jewel approaching them. Kian averted his eyes and our eyes met exactly.


    I immediately averted my eyes and forced myself to mingle with the others.


    Six o¡¯clock in the afternoon when we left the venue. Kian and my celebration became one. He said his parents made a reservation at a restaurant. I rode in my cousin¡¯s car and Kian rode in his rtive¡¯s car as well.


    I sat next to Kian¡¯s chair while eating. He took care of me. The question is always what I want to eat or if what I eat was delicious. The rest of us are still thrilled. My parents, on the other hand, were quiet, watching and sometimes looking at each other.


    After we ate and when we got out of the restaurant I looked at Kian who was quiet beside me.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t your cousins ??home yet?¡± he asked. I shook my head. He snorted and thought for a moment. I also just quietly watched him.


    And as I stared at him I could feel the rapid beating of my heart which made my chest ache even more.


    My eyes watered so I immediately averted my gaze. I simply wiped away the tears and looked back at Kian who had been silent the whole time. I immediately hugged him to his surprise. He also hugged me back. We were both silent and the only thing we could hear was the beating of our hearts.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± our cousins ??shouted so we immediately let go of each other. I smiled at him before I got in my cousin¡¯s car.


    Goodbye, Kian.

 Chapter 22 She鈥檚 Gone

    KIAN


    After we had dinner, we went home one by one. My rtives are going home, so Daddy and I will go with them in their car.


    I don¡¯t know if Beth¡¯s cousins were nning to stay overnight at their house so that they could bond or whatever. I want to talk and be with Beth, but I don¡¯t want to deprive her of her rtives, especially her cousins ??who want to celebrate with her.


    I did not go with my friends. I always get hurt or get in trouble when I go with them. I¡¯m already married and my focus should be on my wife. Something I forgot for a while.


    I was enticed to join the drink because it was my friend¡¯s birthday. And Beth allowed me to, so I took advantage.


    But the only thing I didn¡¯t really know was that they lied to me and to Beth, when they let me know and said the celebration was just at their house. It was in a bar. Okay, just once. And then I¡¯ll go home right before Beth¡¯s allotted time.


    We were having fun as soon as Jewel¡¯s group arrived. She was not even invited yet she joined us at our table.


    It¡¯s no secret to me and my friends from high school that Jewel likes me. I was honest with how I felt. My friends knew that I like or had a crush on someone since my elementary days. Until it bes infatuation when we reach high school. Too bad she didn¡¯t like me that time anymore. I tried to have a rtionship with other women.


    Used them but I clearly talked about how far we can go. Why didn¡¯t I try Jewel? I don¡¯t want to give her hopes even though I know it¡¯s vague. She just hopes and I might end up having a hard time breaking up with her. Knowing how freak she was.


    I know, I¡¯m stupid because instead of flirting with Beth I went through teasing and bullying her.


    I also couldn¡¯t understand myself why I was excited when she was already blushing with annoyance. I even threatened those boys who tried to court her. Yeah, I¡¯m a coward, jerk, and impulsive. But in all that happened, I did not regret that we got married because of what happened to us.


    I really love her. And I promised myself that we wouldn¡¯t graduate college and part the path of life without us being together. When Jewel kissed me at the bar, my conscience bothered me a lot. Beth allowed me to go with my friends and that thing happened.


    All she knew was that we were the only ones and the celebration was only at home but we were at the bar. The worst was that Jewel was there again, obviously determined to do whatever she was nning to do badly. Before everything getsplicated I avoided it. I will avoid my friends as much as possible.


    I am already married and I should pay full attention to her as she does. Jewel ckmailed me. This woman was a freak!


    It¡¯s hard to please Beth. She could ignore me. It was my fault because I lied to her. But I will not give up. The few years I waited for her to be mine and the year we were together as a couple, I will never let it to be wasted.


    I¡¯m used to sleeping next to her. Those nights that she chose to stay at their house were sleepless nights to me. I am guilty so I have to suffer. I will never do it again.


    So when we finally talked, I was so happy. I tried to make it up to her by giving her a surprise and romantic dinner. It hurts when she told me that she prepared a surprise dinner for our monthsary. I was very immature because I didn¡¯t go home.


    Instead, I drank because I was so annoyed with myself. Jewel has something against me. She was right, I should have just told her the truth. I just don¡¯t want to make her feel bad. But they say that there is no secret that cannot be revealed.


    She knew and it was painful that she knew it from others. I talked to my friends to help me with the surprise I was going to make for Beth before our graduation. Didn¡¯t know that it will turn out so bad again.


    I¡¯ll fix it.


    I clean our room. I changed the pillowcases and bedsheets. I put away the clutter. I will go to Beth to talk with her. I miss being able to sleep next to her. Her smell and her soft skin that was good to touch.


    When I made sure the room was in order I went downstairs. Someone rang the doorbell.


    When mommy opened the door Beth¡¯s parents were there. I smiled and waited for Beth toe in but she wasn¡¯t. They sat on the sofa. Daddy called me right away. I sat down on the single sofa.


    ¡°Is there something happen, dear ?¡± Mommy asked Beth¡¯s mom.


    Beth¡¯s dad nodded and the couple looked at each other. In his hand was an envelope that he immediately handed to my parents. Mommy looked at me. Daddy epted it and opened it. He looked dumbfounded. He looks at me with a confused face.


    Mommy snatched the paper from Dad¡¯s hands. Mommy¡¯s reaction was the same as him. She looked at me. Her mouth was half-open. She wanted to speak but no words came out of her mouth. There were unshed tears in the corner of her eyes.


    I felt nervous. I looked at Beth¡¯s parents who didn¡¯t speak as mommy did. I could see mixed emotions on their faces.


    I immediately reached out for the paper. I was shocked as hell!


    What does this mean? Daddy cleared his throat.


    ¡°Why?¡± he asked. Beth¡¯s Dad sighed.


    ¡°For their good. I was in anger that time. My only child is Beth and found out that she slept with a man. I was mad that time.¡± heughed timidly.


    ¡°It¡¯s true that don¡¯t decide when you¡¯re angry,¡± he continued with a smile on his lips but it didn¡¯t reach his eyes. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for my hasty decision. I¡¯m sorry, Kian.¡±


    What the!


    ¡°Because of that, you¡¯ll just let us separate?¡± I asked rmingly. He smiled sparingly as he stared at me. I took a deep breath.


    ¡°If it¡¯s about what happenedst night, let me exin,¡± I begged.


    ¡°Kian¡­¡± Mommy said. Her looks were judgmental.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t cheat, please. I swear!¡±


    The couple sighed. It was as if they didn¡¯t want to believe my exnation. But it¡¯s true!


    ¡°Kian, what did you do?¡± mommy asked in an offended tone.


    ¡°I made a surprise for her. I begged my friends to pick her up. While I was at the resort and arranging my surprise for her. Jewel came. I was in the bathroom when she suddenly showed up naked. I hurried out of the bathroom and chased her away because anytime Beth woulde. That¡¯s what Beth saw when they came. Mom, Dad, please. Please don¡¯t let us be separated.¡±


    I wiped away the tears in my eyes. I looked at Mommy and Daddy. I wanted them to help me.


    ¡°Mom, Dad, I can¡¯t afford to lose Beth. I know I was impulsive. But I didn¡¯t regret it when I married her. I dreamed of her for years.¡± They looked at Beth¡¯s parents.


    ¡°Maybe we can fix this,¡± dad said.


    ¡°We didn¡¯t decide about this. Beth asked us to help her with the annulment process,¡± Beth¡¯s father said. This can¡¯t be real!


    ¡°Where¡¯s Beth?¡± I can¡¯t believe she wants to divorce me. We didn¡¯t even talk. I was not even given a chance to exin. They did not answer me.


    ¡°I won¡¯t sign that,¡± I answered firmly but my eyes began to water.


    ¡°It¡¯s for your own good. You¡¯re still young. Forgive me if-¡±


    ¡°I will never sign that. Beth is my wife and she is the only one I want to be with for the rest of my life.¡±


    They looked at each other. Mommy told me to let Beth be alone and think first. If we are really destined, we will meet again. And when is that? I won¡¯t wait months or years for that destiny. She was my wife and I couldn¡¯t afford on losing her and not be with her.


    I call her but she does not answer. Her mother handed me a small piece of paper with a note. It¡¯s Beth¡¯s handwriting. It was short but I could feel the weight of how she felt when she wrote it.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want the time toe that you¡¯ll choose. I don¡¯t want to be pped with the truth that you choose her over me. So, I am choosing myself.¡±

 Chapter 23 Back

    Yearster¡­


    I looked around as I pushed the cart containing my luggage while walking at the arrival area of the airport. It didn¡¯t take long before I see the people I am looking for. I smiled at them and wave my hand at them.


    ¡°Here!¡± they shouted while jumping in so much excitement. The happiness in their face, make me giggle. They¡¯re acting like we haven¡¯t seen each other for how many years.


    ¡°Wee back!¡± they all scream. The people were looking at us because of their loud voice.


    I just shrugged andughed with my friends as I hug them one by one.


    ¡°So, you have decided?¡± Macy asked while looking at all of my luggage.


    ¡°No final ns yet. Let¡¯s go.¡± It was a bit hot in here. My body started to sweat.


    They brought with them a Hi-Ace van. And they also have a driver with them. We decided to eat first before we travel to my parent¡¯s house that was located in the province. It¡¯s their wedding anniversary today. They didn¡¯t know I was going home, they will be surprised.


    The celebration just started when we arrived at my parent¡¯s house. The weather was good so they set up the party outside the house. There are tables and some chairs. There is also a table for meals ced on the side.


    Macy got out of the van first. My rtives looked at our direction when they noticed us. Mom and Dad immediately stood up to greet my friends. I smiled. With so much excitement, I immediately got out of the van to greet them with a big hug.


    ¡°Oh, dear!¡± Mom screamed very delighted. She was obviously surprised. Iughed softly as I hugged her tightly.


    I did the same to my Dad who was quiet. Speechless, but I could see the happiness in his eyes and his lips with a sweet smile.


    ¡°Happy anniversary!¡± I kissed them both on their cheeks.


    Mom even caressed my face.


    ¡°Thank you, dear. We missed you.¡±


    I smiled.


    ¡°I missed you too. Where¡¯s Brent?¡± I asked while looking around. I am hoping that he will be the first to meet me. I can¡¯t see him around.


    ¡°He¡¯s asleep. Tired of ying. I¡¯ll wake him upter,¡± Mom replied. I smiled and nodded.


    ¡°Come here and eat, ¡± Dad told us.


    I greeted our rtives for a moment before I sat down. I tasted the food served especially it was homemade.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    I¡¯m so tired from work that I can¡¯t even cook for myself. I¡¯m just eating out or just ordering food. Some guests and rtives who had finished eating started singing on the videoke machine. Mom and Dad are with us here at the table.


    Sweet smiles on their lips as they watched me eating. Sometimes they even smile. I was about to finish eating when I heard Brent¡¯s voice.


    He was carried by his nanny. I let go of the spoon I was holding and immediately take him from his nanny.


    ¡°I miss you, baby!¡± I refrain from kissing him. He looked at me in amazement.


    ¡°Mama¡­¡± he said so Iughed. I sniffed him and kissed him again. He was getting annoyed so Iughed even more.


    ¡°Your brother¡¯s cheek is soft,¡± Mom scolded me so I sniffed.


    ¡°Big sister just missed him,¡± I said smiling. Brent smiled at me.


    Brent is my brother. They said he was a menopausal baby, because Mom was already in her forties when she got pregnant with Brent.


    I¡¯m happy because finally, I had a sibling now. I really dreamed of having a brother. Though it came truete. He looks like my son. I smiled as I watched him.


    ¡°I¡¯ll have Brent first, finish your food,¡± Mom said.


    I handed Brent to her and I sat down again. I looked at Macy with a strange look on me. I rolled my eyes at her. She did the same to me.


    It was already dark when the celebration ended. Macy did not travel back to Man with the driver. Tomorrow afternoon, I will also return to Man because I have something to take care of. We will just go together. I don¡¯t want my parents to get upset if I leave right away.


    Late at night, Macy and Barbara slept soundly, but sleep did not visit me. My eyes remained wide open until the rooster in the other house crowed.


    A lot of things are on my mind. The pain continues in my head. I decided to just go out of the room and brew some coffee. Maybe Mom is also awake at this time. The truth is that I also wanted to ask her something.


    ¡°Good morning, Mom,¡± I greeted when I found Mom in the kitchen.


    She smiled and greeted me back.


    ¡°You want a coffee?¡± she asked. I nodded slowly and sat down in the chair as well.


    She made three mugs of coffee. One is probably for Dad. After she brewed the coffee she sat across from me. We looked at each other for a few minutes.


    ¡°Good morning,¡± Dad greeted when he entered the house. He went outside for a jog.


    ¡°Morning, Dad,¡± I greeted as well. He also sat down next to Mom. I nodded and thought for a moment before I asked them.


    ¡°Ah¡­ Mom, what¡¯s the news about¡­¡± I cleared my throat. ¡°The annulment?¡±


    They looked at each other before looking at me again.


    ¡°Did he sign it before?¡± I asked because when I left I hadn¡¯t heard anything about it or about him.


    I don¡¯t even ask when I called them. I also changed my number. I also deactivated my social media ounts, only close friends and select rtives have contact with me. Mom¡¯s eyes narrowed.


    ¡°Why?¡± Mom asked. There was a ghost of a smile on her lips. I shrugged even though the truth is I have a lot to say and ask about what happened a few years ago.

 Chapter 24 Girlfriend

    ¡°Yes, he signed,¡± Mom replied a few minutester and I never spoke again. I nodded slowly.


    He signed. Okay.


    So, that means we are both free. I smiled sparingly at my parents to show that I was happy with what had happened. But the truth was that I felt the opposite. Deep inside I feel disappointed and very sad. My only hope waspletely shattered.


    One of the reasons I came home suddenly and decided to stay in the Philippines was to talk to him.


    Besides I n to build a business. Jewel and I met abroad two weeks ago. She exined to me everything. She begs for my forgiveness for her peace of mind.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    She has a child now. She and the father of her child n to marry. And she thought of looking for me to ask for forgiveness.


    I don¡¯t know how she knew where I was. Only my friends and parents know my address abroad. Jewel just showed up at the restaurant I used to eat at every dinner. Annoyance and anger rose again in my chest when I found out the truth.


    I want to hurt her but I don¡¯t want to. I¡¯m d that she¡¯s happy now, even though she has ruined us. She looks very sincere. She seems to have really changed as well. So I gave her the forgiveness she wanted.


    Well, I¡¯m d that she¡¯s matured now. In fact, I felt remorse after hearing her exnation. I felt guilty as well. It haunts me even in my dreams. That¡¯s why I decided to go home to the Philippines. But did I make the right decision?


    ¡°Are you alright?¡± Macy tapped me on my shoulder. I smiled and nodded.


    My thoughts deepened again. Here we are now at the bar. This afternoon we returned to Man.


    When Yona found out that I was already here in the Philippines, she decide that we should see in a bar. With the matter that¡¯s bothering me, it also seems alright to have a little fun tonight.


    We got here first at the bar because Sunny allegedly picked up Yona. It looks like thetter will just run away. I can¡¯t me her mother for restricting her even though she is twenty-four years old. She is a bit wild.


    I was just listening to Macy and Barbara talk. Our batch in elementary, high school, and college has an alumni homing. We are in the same school since we were in elementary school. But we became really close in college then.


    I¡¯m not sure if I¡¯ll attend. Maybe if the situation was different I might attend.


    I roam my gaze across the bar until my sight was fixed on the man at the bar counter. A few years have passed but I still know very well what he looks like. He matured a bit which further added to his good looks and sex appeal.


    Macy made a sound that caused me to get back my sight on them. They both smiled. They must have also seen the reason for my sudden reactions.


    I looked at the bar counter again. This time, he was apanied by two men. A woman approached them as well. The woman immediately clung to Kian¡¯s arm causing me to stop. I felt a familiar pain in my chest, so I immediately averted my gaze.


    Yona and Sunny came so I just focused my attention on my friends even though my mind was on my ex-husband. Is that his girlfriend? So, he already moved on?


    Some men came to our table. Friends of Sunny, but Macy said it was Yona¡¯s ex. And based on the kind of man¡¯s stare at Yona, it looks like he still has feelings for her.


    Yona smirked at him. He¡¯s Elliot and the other guy is Mardy. I tried to get along with them. Over the past year, I have somehow improved, especially in socializing. I¡¯m not like what I used to be before.


    We were having fun when Kian approached us. He was with two men who looked like his friends.


    They seem to know Yona¡¯s ex. What surprised me is when Yona invited them to sit with us. I wanted to protest because of her insensitivity but I restrained myself. Elliot introduced them to us.


    Confirmed! That girl is Kian¡¯s girlfriend. Macy asked if he was with his girlfriend. Kian said that she was at her friends¡¯ table.


    Awkward¡­


    I and my friends became quiet while the men talked about business. Kian looks very sessful now even if it¡¯s just a few years ago. I¡¯m d that he did well in these past years.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to thefort room,¡± Macy whispered so I nodded quickly.


    I needed to breathe also. She seemed to notice how ufortable I was to face Kian. While we were in thefort room, Kian and his girlfriend became their topic. Howpatible they are with each other.


    Really? Are they really my friends? I did not speak.


    ¡°Looks like our friend hasn¡¯t moved on yet,¡± Yona teased but I just remained silent.


    They looked at each other while holding back smiles on their lips.


    ¡°Come on! Let¡¯s just dance,¡± said Yona. She pulled me up to the dance floor.


    Macy, Barbara, and Sunny just followed us. I closed my eyes and slowly followed the tranche of music. I raised both my hands in conjunction with the swing of my hip.


    I stroked my head, down my neck to my chest and to my thighs. Then I stroked my body up again. When I opened my eyes, I saw Kian standing and watching me from where he was. I was stunned but I immediately got up and resumed my dancing.


    My mind was distracted so I pulled mypanions to the middle of the dancefloor, away from Kian¡¯s sight. Although I¡¯m not sure if he¡¯s looking at me. Maybe his girlfriend is also on the dancefloor and she¡¯s really the one he¡¯s watching.

 Chapter 25 Questions

    It waste at night and the whole club was jam-packed with party people. The dance floor was crowded. I¡¯m also tired of dancing, I can¡¯t almost move. There¡¯s not enough space, I can¡¯t move my body freely. I invited Macy and the others back to our table.


    I¡¯ll just drink a little and then I¡¯ll go home to Macy¡¯s condo. I¡¯ll stay with her first until I find a unit for myself. Our house here in Man was rented out so I can¡¯t go there either.


    ¡°Let¡¯s dance,¡± said the man who had been following me on the dancefloor earlier. He saw that I had turned around and started to step away from the dancefloor. I smiled politely at him.


    ¡°I¡¯m tired,¡± I replied with a smile. He continued to block my way in front of me. He¡¯s tempting me but I shooked my head.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± I am with my friends now. The man still followed us. Macy and Barbara are now annoyed.


    ¡°Next time again,¡± I told the man so he should stop following me.


    It looks like he¡¯s been drinking a lot too so he¡¯s being kinda naughty.


    Now he invites me to their table.


    We were close to our table and Eliot seemed to notice the man¡¯s bothering me. Mardy and he stood up, but Kian was quick and immediately stood up and approached us.


    He grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to him. I stiffened. Can¡¯t believe what he did.


    ¡°Stay away from her,¡± he shooed the man away.


    The man raised both hands and left immediately. After the man turned his back, Kian quickly let go of my arm that he was holding. He returned to the chair as if nothing had happened.


    I also sat down next to Macy. I was quiet and forced myself to calm down. My heart is beating fast like I was a child.


    Macy handed me a ss of wine. There was teasing in her eyes that I just shrugged on. Even though the truth was I am really affected. He is still here at our table. Isn¡¯t he going to his girlfriend? Maybe they trust each other that much, my mind answered.


    I tried to keep up with their conversation even though I can¡¯t understand. From time to time Kian and my eyes met. He was the first to look away. When I am the one speaking, he was looking at me seriously nor did my eyes escape the asional re of his eyes across me.


    I am wearing a red mini dress with a deep neckline. Maybe, he was a bit shocked by the way I dressed up now. It¡¯s because I was wrapped up in clothes before. One of my hobbies, when I was abroad, was shopping and keeping myself looking good. When we were still together I never wore sexily.


    Oh, I remember that one time when I prepared a surprise dinner for him. I wore a red sexy dress but he didn¡¯t see me because I got tired of waiting for him. I sighed. I shouldn¡¯t think about the past anymore. Past is past as the saying goes.


    He looks happy now. I¡¯m happy too, somehow.


    ¡°Are you just on vacation or are you here to stay again?¡± he asked. I slowly looked up.


    ¡°I-I don¡¯t know yet,¡± I replied. He just nodded. Guess how he looks at me.


    ¡°Nice to see you again,¡± he said with a smile on his face. I opened my mouth and was momentarily stunned.


    ¡°S-Same here.¡± That¡¯s all I said and I still stuttered.


    He never spoke again but his eyes remained focused on me. Macy made a sound again as if teasing me.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    ¡°Where is your girlfriend?¡±


    See!


    Now I¡¯m sure he has a girlfriend already.


    ¡°S-She¡¯s with her friends,¡± he replied without even taking his eyes off me.


    ¡°I heard you¡¯re getting married,¡± Yona interjected.


    What! Kian seems to have be close with my friends. I didn¡¯t ask them about Kian and they also didn¡¯t mention that he already had a girlfriend. If I only knew, I might not havee back.


    I consumed the fourth ss of wine. I¡¯m going home after this. Macy lent me one of her keys so if she didn¡¯t n to go home yet, I would go first.


    I know it¡¯s still early but I need to rest early because I¡¯m going to meet the owner of the shop I am nning to rent. When I put the ss on the table I looked at Macy who was grinning as she looked at Kian.


    ¡°I¡¯m getting sleepy,¡± I whispered at Macy.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to go home yet, it¡¯s okay that I¡¯ll go first,¡± I added.


    I think they are still waiting for their boyfriends. They said they will arrivete. I can¡¯t wait for them anymore. She nodded so I stood up. I looked at those with us.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be going first,¡± I said goodbye. Kian suddenly stood up so we all looked at him.


    ¡°I¡¯ll walk you out,¡± he said. Huh? I was confused.


    ¡°No need,¡± I refused. What¡¯s on this man¡¯s mind? I shooked my head.


    ¡°Your girlfriend might get angry,¡± I said as he paused suddenly. It was as if he realized that he did have a girlfriend and was with him here at the bar.


    I just finished talking to the shop owner. We agreed on the price. After three days we will meet again for contract signing and payment.


    Because it was too early, I decided to go around the mall nearby first. I also had nothing to do at Macy¡¯s condo because she went to work.


    She will go hometer to change her clothes and then will go out again to go to the bar. She would just force me to go with them again.


    Kian and I will definitely meet again. I¡¯m not bitter and avoiding Kian. But I just really don¡¯t want to have put things in my mind that might just confuse me. Especially things that can cause my heart to hurt again.


    For the past years, I believe that I am already healed. But when Jewel and I met, my peace of mind was again disturbed. I decided to go home. I thought of doing business here in the Philippines.


    I also want to talk to Kian, but I don¡¯t think that it is necessary for us to talk especially when I found out that he already has a girlfriend. Besides, looks like he is getting married as well.


    I don¡¯t want to look desperate. I am not that kind of person. Am I happy for him? Yes. It¡¯s really like that when you have fallen in love. That is what will make the one you love happy, you should let it be. As I did before.


    After I paid for my purchases I immediately took a taxi home.


    When I arrived at Macy¡¯s condo, I was shocked when I saw Kian, he was with his friends. Barbara was next to a friend of Kian and still leaning on the man¡¯s chest.


    Macy, on the other hand, was wrapped up in Raul¡¯s hand. What the hell! Why does it seem I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on?


    ¡°G-Good evening,¡± I greeted them.


    It¡¯s been a few years and we¡¯re not kids anymore but I¡¯m still angry with them because of what happened. But I don¡¯t want to show them that I haven¡¯t been able to move on.


    They also greeted me. I signaled


    Macy that I would just bring my belongings into my room for a moment. I really can¡¯t believe this.


    I sat down next to Kian because that was the only vacant ce that I should sit. I raised an eyebrow at Macy and Barbara. I¡¯m waiting for them to tell their stories.


    When I left the country, Kian¡¯s friends already flirted with them. And to this day they still are. Going strong, huh? I hope all.


    I sparingly smiled at them. Kian¡¯s friends seem to have changed. They no longer look as immature as before. They also have achievements in life, what they really worked for.


    They ordered food.


    After eating I insisted to clean and wash the tes. Kian did not go with them. He was standing at the end of the table with his hands tucked in both pockets of his pants. He said nothing and just stared at me.


    I turned around and brought the tes to the sink. I felt his presence behind me.


    ¡°Let me help you,¡± he said. I did not speak. I showed him the rag. He will just wipe the ones I have rinsed. He agreed.


    ¡°How are you?¡± he asked afterward.


    I cleared my throat and stared at him for a moment.


    ¡°Good. You?¡±


    ¡°Never been better since you left me,¡± he answered bluntly.


    I was shocked by what he said but I didn¡¯t let him notice it. I just nodded but never spoke again.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you even regret when you left me?¡± he asked.


    I can feel the loneliness and anger in his tone. My chest hurts. I wash the dishes quickly. I did not answer him.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you even think twice when you decided to annul our marriage?¡± His follow-up question makes my eyes watery.


    ¡°If I hadn¡¯t done that, you wouldn¡¯t have found the woman really destined for you,¡± I firmly replied.


    After I rinsed the tes I turned around. He can do it alone.

 Chapter 26 Regrets

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry! It¡¯s my fault because I lied to you. I didn¡¯t tell the truth. But I didn¡¯t cheat!¡± He even really followed me. I stopped walking for a moment because of what he said.


    ¡°Believe me, I didn¡¯t cheat.¡±


    Yeah, I know you didn¡¯t cheat. But can we still change what happened? Our marriage was annulled now. And one more thing, you already love someone else. I don¡¯t know what this talk is for. Does he want closure? He signed our annulment. That is the closure.


    I took a deep breath and quickly wiped away my tears. I stepped away from him but again stopped when he spoke again.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    ¡°That¡¯s where you¡¯re good at. Instead of talking, you always just avoid, run away, and walk away.¡±


    ¡°What do you want me to do, huh!¡± I turned to him.


    ¡°Fight for me¡­¡± he answered weakly.


    ¡°How? How can I fight you if, in the end, I¡¯m the loser? If you choose her. I just want to raise myself up because I¡¯m exhausted, I poured all my love on you before. I am not an ideal girlfriend, Kian. I¡¯m not as sexy as your exes. I¡¯m not pretty. That¡¯s why people don¡¯t want me for you, right?¡±


    That¡¯s what I believed when I didn¡¯t even know what really happened. But would I be med if I did that? Yes, I love him dearly and he is my husband. But he just really turned around. He was just forced to marry me because my parents insisted.


    When we were young I thought that the time woulde when everything would end as well for us. And what I feared came true. He lied. And I was also mistaken. He know my insecurities, but he didn¡¯t even exin.


    ¡°When we¡¯re still kids, you¡¯re the only one I chose to be with for life, Moo¡­¡±


    I averted my eyes. It¡¯s nice to hear. But I¡¯m not his only one anymore. He has a new girlfriend.


    ¡°Do you regret that you annulled our marriage? Do you regret that you left me?¡± he asked with a hopeful and pleading voice. I looked at him earnestly.


    ¡°Are you sorry?¡± he asked tearfully. I closed my eyes and let my tears fall. I opened my eyes and met his hopeful eyes. I nodded.


    ¡°Yes. When I heard Jewel¡¯s exnation. I regretted why I left you so easily. That¡¯s why I¡¯m here now.¡±


    He looks shocked but after some seconds he manages to smile.


    ¡°Do you still love me?¡± he asked. I averted my eyes again. I don¡¯t want any more trouble in his life now. I did not answer.


    ¡°I love you so much, Moo¡­¡± he said weakly. Tears welled up in his eyes.


    ¡°If you love me, why didn¡¯t you look for me or even follow me? If you really love me, why did you sign the annulment paper!¡± I shouted out of anger at his face.


    His forehead frowned. He thought for a moment.


    ¡°I knelt down in front of your parents. I begged them to tell me where you were, but they told me to let you go first and I did. Even though¡­ even with each passing day, I miss you every day.¡± His voice was raspy and his eyes were red.


    ¡°We are still married. We will not separate and even in our next life, I will make sure we are still together.¡±


    How did it happen? Mom said, he signed. Kian sighed.


    ¡°My only n was to be your boyfriend before we graduate college so there¡¯s no reason for us to part ways. I¡¯m so obsessed with you that I was able to ckmail you.¡± I winced at what he said.


    ¡°It was also a blessing that your parents found out about us. Because otherwise, I would have not married you. They won¡¯t insist on marrying you. I have no regrets about what happened. I¡¯m even grateful for what happened. Even if it was all rushed, that paid off beautifully and that is marrying you,¡± he said while looking at me intently.


    ¡°The day we signed our marriage contract, it was the happiest day of my life. The woman I dreamed of became my wife.¡± He took a deep breath before speaking again. There was a pain in his eyes. ¡°¡­ Because of my mistake, your parents forced me to sign the annulment papers. I¡¯m not crazy enough to sign the annulment. I love being your husband. And I don¡¯t want to be with anyone else in my life but you and that hasn¡¯t changed since then.¡±


    I could not immediately speak to what he said. At all of what he said, I forcefully processed that in my brain. One of the reasons I came home was that I was nning to build a business and it was for him in case I had anything else to expect from him. I want us to fix it if it can even be fixed.


    But I found out that he signed the annulment papers. In case I didn¡¯t ask if it was processed, maybe he took the drafts and said that they would process it. Last night I found out that he has a girlfriend and is getting married. Didn¡¯t he know that I was hurt again because of that?


    Then now he will say he loves me and we are not separated yet. With what he said, instead of making me happy, I just got even angrier.


    ¡°Cheater!¡± I shouted in his face. ¡°You didn¡¯t cheat with Jewel years ago, but you¡¯re cheating on me while I¡¯m away!¡±


    He did not speak. He scratched his nape and looked the other way. I just remembered that we hadpanions.


    ¡°I do not have a girlfriend, we just-¡±


    I immediately understood what he meant. To make me jealous? He lied to me again! I looked at him sharply.


    ¡°Sorry¡­¡±


    ¡°I hate you!¡± I shouted and hurried into my room. My heart was pounding at what I had found out. Damn! He¡¯s annoying! Also, include my friends who agreed with him.


    Tsk! Let them be together.


    I¡¯ll just put my annoyance to sleep. It¡¯s good that he didn¡¯t follow me anymore because he won¡¯t get anything out of me. I will not talk to him while my anger against him has not subsided.


    The next morning at eight o¡¯clock I woke up. I¡¯m sure Macy¡¯s gone because she¡¯s going to go to work. I took a shower and got dressed. I wore a cropped polo and skirt. I have important walks today.


    When I get home early, I will take care of creating a business page on social media, for online orders and promotions. If everything went well in the following days I will also post a job hiring for my future employees.


    On the weekend, maybe I¡¯ll go home to my parents¡¯ house so I can be with them, especially Brent. I ate at the restaurant just below the building before taking a taxi. At two o¡¯clock in the afternoon, I finished my appointments. Earlier than I expected.


    It¡¯s already lunchtime now so I¡¯ll eat at the mall nearby before I go home. I was shocked to be able to receive another text from Kian. His number is not registered but I know very well that he¡¯s the one who texted even though he did not identify himself.


    ¡°Moo¡­ Where are you?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s meet, Moo.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re not in the condo? Tell me your whereabouts. Let¡¯s go, Moo.¡±


    ¡°Moo.¡±


    ¡°Are you still angry? I¡¯m sorry, Moo.¡±


    There are still puppy eyes emoticons. I can¡¯t believe him. All Moo. You are bing a cow. I typed a message.


    ¡°Mall.¡± That is my only answer.


    It¡¯s up to him to decide which mall in the Philippines I¡¯m in. I ate at a fast-food. I had already eaten half of my food when Kian came and just sat in the front of my seat. He¡¯s good at guessing.


    I ignored him, I just continued to eat even though it was awkward because I was eating and he was just watching.


    ¡°You¡¯re not going anywhere?¡± he asked. I just shooked my head.


    ¡°Let¡¯s watch a movie.¡±


    I shooked my head again. Because after I eat I will go home to rest because my head was hurting. I will also create my social media ount.


    ¡°Okay. Are youing home? Let¡¯s just take out some food and then do a movie marathon,¡± he said.


    ¡°It¡¯s embarrassing for Macy. You really n to hang out there. I¡¯m just staying there,¡± I replied in an irritated tone.


    ¡°Hey, why don¡¯t you just go home to our house,¡± he suggested. I looked at him coldly andzily


    He grabbed my hand. He touched it and squeezed it slightly. He stared at me pleadingly.


    ¡°Please, let¡¯s settle everything. I¡¯m sorry for lying. I¡¯m sorry if I hurt you. I¡¯m sorry for everything I¡¯ve done.¡±


    I sighed.


    ¡°Come home to me. Please, take me back,¡± he pleaded.

 Chapter 27 Second chance

    I raised my eyebrows to meet his gaze, but I was also the first to look away. I looked like a teenager with a red face because I was staring at my crush.


    I sighed and gasped again. I was really hungry so I didn¡¯t care even if Kian was watching me eat. I could feel his warm gaze on me, and I tried not to be affected.


    ¡°You look even prettier, Moo¡­¡± He giggled like a teenager. I rolled my eyes.


    ¡°I¡¯m lucky to have you. It¡¯s a good thing I tied you to me,¡± he said proudly. I shook my head. I picked up the ss of ice tea and drank it. He was still staring at me. I could see the amusement and love in his eyes.


    When I put down the ss he grabbed my hand. He lightly touched it and brought it to his lips. He kissed it lightly. I blushed, especially when I heard the gasping of the students at the other table. I could see the thrill on their faces as they looked at us.


    ¡°So sweet¡­¡±


    ¡°Hoping all¡­¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s so handsome!¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s beautiful too. They look good together.¡±


    We still got attention. Kian didn¡¯t mind it though. He is now ying with my finger that used to wear a ring. Our wedding ring.


    Unconsciously, I look at his ring finger and was so shocked to notice that he is still wearing our wedding ring. The ring that I¡¯ve given him years ago. The ring I bought with the money I saved just a few years.


    I¡¯m not luxurious so I put more than what Dad and Mom used to give me in my piggy bank. I¡¯ve been saving it since I was in elementary school. I was nning to use it to start a small business after finishing college. But as the saying goes not everything nned happens especially if destiny does not allow it.


    Putting aside my ns, I thought that I should use the money to buy a ring- our ring.


    I don¡¯t regret spending it all on our wedding ring. He didn¡¯t even think to give me a ring even silver or even a cheap ring that can only be bought somewhere. I never thought he would appreciate it.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    I was so moved to know that he didn¡¯t take it off for years, even though I broke up with him and left without a word. My eyes watered. He smiled when he noticed me staring at his finger.


    ¡°I am married to you. And I have no n to end our marriage. You are mine, Moo, and I am yours.¡±


    I sighed and immediately picked up the tissue on the side of my te to wipe the tears that were about to fall from my eyes. The emotions I feel now are mixed. I just realize how much I miss him all these years.


    What if he signed the annulment papers then? What if I don¡¯t find out what really happened? That he didn¡¯t really cheat on me. Thinking about the past made me realize my mistakes.


    ¡°I love you so much,¡± he almost whispered.


    ¡°Where¡¯s your ring?¡± he asked when he got no answer from me.


    ¡°In my wallet,¡± I answered. I removed it with my fingers but I never thought to throw it away. Even though what I had in mind was that we were separated. For the past years, though we¡¯re apart, I feel like I am still married to him.


    My love for him never fades even a bit. I tried to move on with my life without him. I tried to cover up my happy and painful memories of him. Maybe I was able to divert my attention to something else but to forget him, I didn¡¯t.


    I fought my longing for him. Seeing him now after those years of being apart, I felt like my love for him gets deeper. Oh, how I miss him so bad!


    After I ate, Kian took me out of the fast-food. He took my hand and immediately folded our fingers. He smiled as he looked at our intertwined fingers, and me taking a deep breath.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the grocery store before we go home. I don¡¯t eat at home so there are no stocks.¡±


    I just nodded and drifted off as he gently pulled me into the supermarket. He took the cart without letting go of my hand. He looks so happy and he even has a hum as we take stocks off the shelves.


    Then I smiled too. I felt delighted now. It was getting dark when we got home.


    The house still looks the same. It has new paint but it¡¯s still the same color as its previous paint.


    I also looked at our house. It still looks the same. The light is on and there are two cars parked in the garage.


    We worked together to arrange the groceries we bought. We also cooked together. We didn¡¯t talk much, because I couldn¡¯t think of anything to say. But he never runs out of topics.


    ¡°I¡¯ll do the dishes. Take a bath first,¡± he said while hiding a small smile on his lips. I could see the twinkle in his eyes.


    ¡°Okay,¡± was my only reply.


    I went up to our room. What the room used to be like is still the same. There were only added picture frames hanging on the wall near the study table.


    Our pictures. There is also a picture frame ced under the nightstand. It was ourst picture together. My eyes watered as I remembered that day.


    I just took a quick shower. I wrapped my body with a towel before going out of the bathroom. Kian and I looked at each other. I could see the waves of his adams apple as he simply red at my body.


    I also looked at his swelling manhood even if it was covered by his jeans it was obvious. He cleared his throat before pointing to the clothes he had prepared.


    ¡°I-I¡¯m going to take a bath too,¡± he said before quickly entering the bathroom.


    My cheeks blushed when I saw the undies that came with the shirt and shorts he had prepared. After I got dressed, I stared at the picture of us under the nightstand before I went to bed.


    Minutester Kian finished taking a bath. He was wearing a white shirt and boxer shorts. He leaned over to me but was there a few inches between us. He faced me while Iy t, facing the ceiling.


    ¡°What are you thinking?¡± he asked. I took a deep breath and shooked my head.


    ¡°That night, when you said that I was your biggest mistake did you mean that?¡± he suddenly asked.


    ¡°No. I just said that out of anger, ¡± I answered before facing him. He smiled sadly. So am I.


    I caressed his cheek. He closed his eyes to what I did but he also immediately opened his eyes and looked at me.


    ¡°I thought it was thest day of our marriage. I thought it was thest time I would hug you.¡±


    I said almost whispering. It felt surreal.


    ¡°That will not happen. I will not allow us to go that far,¡± he replied. I could feel his love for the words he had been uttering to me ever since. He caressed my hand holding his cheek.


    ¡°I love you so much, Kian. Thank you for not giving up. Thank you for not ending everything for us. I¡¯m sorry for leaving you. I am here now, I will never leave again.¡±


    ¡°And I will never make any reasons for you to leave me again,¡± he added to my remarks. I smiled.


    ¡°I think it¡¯s the part where I should kiss you,¡± he yfully said. Iughed and clung to him myself.


    ¡°I love you, Moo,¡± he whispered before he attacked my lips with passionate kisses.

 Chapter 28 Make love

    The happiness I feel overflows as he reciprocates every caress of his lips on my lips. We stop kissing to catch our breath. His eyes dimmed as he watched me.


    He wiped the helpless tears from both on my cheeks, before his lips touched mine again. This time it didn¡¯t settle there. His lip traveled down to my ear. I took a deep breath at what he did.


    ¡°Kian¡­¡± I whispered as he lightly licked the back of my ear down to my neck.


    He just answer me with a moan. I begin to bite my lower lip when he trailed off his hot and wet tongue on my skin. His kisses and his touch fuel my lustful desire.


    I gasped when I felt his calloused hand inside my shirt, gently caressing my stomach up to my breast. I moaned and move my hips upward.


    He stops kissing my neck. He looked at me and chuckled. He gave me a hard kiss before lifting my shirt. I took the initiative to take off my top. My two mounds were unfolded in front of him, waiting for attention from him but he didn¡¯t do what I wanted. He is obviously teasing me.


    I know that he knew exactly what I want him to do with me. I grab his nape and pushed him to my erected nipple longing to be sucked by his mouth. He chuckled but he obliged.


    ¡°Ooh! Yes! That¡¯s it!¡± I screamed. I arched my back, loving how his wet tongue twirled and y with my bud.


    My toes curled as he work magically on my nipples. The heat I felt increased even more as he pulled down my shorts. The lustful desire in his eyes was evident in how turned on he was right now.


    ¡°I miss this,¡± he said using his hoarse voice before giving my clothed pussy a poke.


    My lips parted as I did not take my eyes off his eye which was burning with hot lust. He caressed my femininity up and down. I bit my lips again. He did it once more, gently and draw a circle. My fleshed throb. My hip has a mind of its own and it just moves on its own. Grinding and meeting what he does.


    ¡°Shit! I want to eat you¡­¡± he whispered before hurriedly taking off my undies. He immediately buried her face in my femininity.


    ¡°Kian!¡± I yelled when he kiss my clit deeply. He stuck out his tongue and stroked my cut down and up.


    ¡°Oh! Shit!¡± Desperately roll my hips as I meet him doing to make my femininity happy. He inserts one finger into my hole. He twisted it around as he continued to explore his tongue on my clit.


    ¡°Oh! Ah! M-Make me cum, baby¡­¡± I pleaded. I was obsessed with enjoying what he was doing. I wanted to cum already.


    ¡°As you wish, baby¡­¡± he answered before he start to plunge his finger deeper and faster. He rubs his thumb over my sensitive bud making my body jerk. With that, his finger was covered with my hot liquid.


    He still hasn¡¯t stopped making kisses on my femininity. He cleans my cum using his tongue and even swallows my juice.


    ¡°Sweet¡­¡±


    My chest went up and down as I caught my breath. My body was sweaty and my knees are shaking.


    ¡°Just wait!¡±


    My eyes narrowed and I gasped at him. I slowly got up to his surprise. I grinned before pushing him horizontally on the bed. His lips parted as he watched me take off his boxer shorts.


    ¡°Remove your shirt,¡± I ordered him.


    He hurriedly obeyed mymand. I caressed the two balls under his manhood. He shut his eyes, bit his lip, and as soon as my wet tongue suck his nipples I heard the sexiest moaning from him. Alternately licked and sucked his nipples while I continued ying with his balls.


    ¡°Yes, baby!¡± he growled loudly as I toyed with the end of his manhood.


    ¡°Do you want me to suck it?¡± I sexily asked. He bit his lip and nodded many times.


    Iughed before I slowly descended and confronted his raging manhood. He propped his elbow on the bed and sat up slightly to watch me do what I would do. I suck on the tip of his head- never leaving his sight. It was nice to hear his flirty moan as I continued to suck and lick his manhood.


    Impatient and excited, he grip a handful of my hair and started moving his hips. I also move my mouth faster and his manhood is still inside. I was d to hear his moan that he was enjoying what I was doing. He swears one after another.


    ¡°I want to cum inside your pussy,¡± he groans before pulling me up. I immediately sat down on his manhood. I moan out in a mixture of pain and pleasure when his manhood filled my womanhood. We kissed and savored the solitude of our bodies.


    When the pain fades, I started to grind slowly on top of him. He grabbed my back and sucked one of my nipples. Shit! Pleasurable.


    I grind faster and deeper also apanied by the movement of his hip. The two of us acted in a hurry. I was bouncing on top of him. His hands are now on my waist guiding me to move upward and down on his shaft.


    I feel full every time my hip falls. The crash of our bodies got louder and faster. Our bodies move quickly as we both race to the finish line.


    We are both near to reaching the peak of lustful pleasure. My thighs stiffened and my abdomen became heavy again. I can sense that he feels the same way he grips on my waist and the way he moves his hips rapidly.


    ¡°Aah!¡±


    ¡°Baby!¡±


    With one deep thrust and onest fall- our juices release. He kissed me and then whispered, ¡°I love you.¡±N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    ¡°I love you too¡­¡± I responded as my face sank into his chest with no strength. He remained hugging me tightly.


    ¡°Shit! That was great!¡± he eximed.


    ¡°Have you run out of energy?¡± I asked with augh.


    ¡°Am I that weak to you?¡± he asked.


    Damn it! I felt his throbbing manhood, which is still buried inside me. It was still hard.

 Chapter 29 Marry Me

    ¡°Wake up, Moo. You have a walk today, don¡¯t you?¡± Kian¡¯s soft voice woke me up.


    My eyelids are heavy- I still want to sleep. If I hadn¡¯t given up, Kian wouldn¡¯t have stopped me all night. He never tires of iming me. Then the pain in my body especially in my womanhood, that I felt was torn apart. I adjusted the nket wrapped around my body as I sat up in bed.


    ¡°I made us breakfast,¡± he said before cing the tray containing the breakfast he had prepared for us on my thigh.


    ¡°Pain is all over my body. I feel so heavy,¡± Iined as I frowned at him.


    He grinned and scratched his head.


    ¡°I¡¯m asking you if you can still do it, you said yes.¡±


    I frowned even more. He pinched my nose andughed.


    ¡°As if you didn¡¯t enjoy it. You keep on screaming my name the whole night. You¡¯re even asking me to move faster on top of you.¡± Heughed out loud when I hit him with a pillow.


    ¡°I was just joking, Moo. I¡¯m sorry if you¡¯re tired. I just missed you so badly.¡± He pinched both my cheeks.


    ¡°Let¡¯s eat. I¡¯lle with and take you where you¡¯re going.¡±


    I ate very little but we stayed longer because of Kian¡¯s meanness and jokes. He has changed nothing. Just like the old days, when we were just married.


    They say we are too young and rushed into our decisions. True. But I have no regrets. If you wake up every day, the face of the man who first caught your attention is what you can see every day until old age, I have no regrets at all.


    ¡°What time will you finish your appointment?¡± he asked as he stopped his car outside the mall.


    ¡°Afternoon, maybe.¡±


    ¡°Okay. I¡¯ll pick you upter.¡± He kissed me on the lips and he himself removed my seatbelt.


    ¡°Take care, Moo. I love you.¡±


    ¡°I love you too. Go ahead. You might bete,¡± I shooed him away before I got out of his car. I have a meeting today with the interior designer who will fix my shop.


    I was an hour early not like we talked about so I went to the coffee shop and will wait there.


    I haven¡¯t posted a job hiring yet and I haven¡¯t created a social media page either! It disappeared from my mindst night.


    Never mind that. Atleast I have nothing more to worry about Kian and me. And we¡¯re okay now. Very happy again with each other. I feel like I missed him right now. I will finish my appointments early so that I could be with himter. I smile at my thought.


    It¡¯s afternoon and I¡¯ve finished everything I¡¯m going to do today. Kian has not yet sent me a message if he has been out of work.


    I¡¯m in a Chinese restaurant right now and waiting for Macy. She said she was going to get me here. I frowned when Raul arrived but not with Macy and Barbara. They went straight to my table so I raised an eyebrow. I didn¡¯t say anything.


    They scratched their heads and hesitantly greeted me. I think I know this. I pointed to the chair opposite to me and they immediately sat down.


    ¡°You¡¯re probably wondering why we¡¯re here,¡± Raul began.


    ¡°We just want to apologize for what happened back then.¡±


    I knew it. I didn¡¯t say anything and just let them speak. I don¡¯t feel bad for them anymore. Time taught me to forgive and forget everything that has upset me in the past. And one more thing, I know that they are not to be med for what happened the night before our graduation.


    As for their lies to me, I don¡¯t have it anymore.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter anymore to me,¡± I casually reply. They even added exnations to me even though I said I was not angry with them. I felt bad then. That¡¯s a natural reaction if you¡¯re disappointed.


    ¡°Thank you, Beth. We¡¯re d you and Kian settled down. Our friend will finally be happy again,¡± they added. I smiled.


    ¡°Thank you also for reaching out to me even if it¡¯s not necessary. That was a long time ago and I forgot about it too. Good luck in your rtionships with my friends.¡±


    I shooked my head. Not again!


    ¡°I swear, it¡¯s okay this time,¡± they convinced me.


    ¡°Just make sure.¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re just scared of your husband and your friends.¡±


    We left the restaurant because they said we were going somewhere. It was a surprise. I¡¯m feeling nervous. I remember thest Kian made a surprise like this again.


    I was blindfolded while riding in Raul¡¯s car. When the car stopped at our destination they helped me get out of the car. We¡¯ve been walking a few steps but we still haven¡¯t reached the destination.


    I was about toin when they stopped and said we were here. They removed the blindfold from my eyes. The surroundings are dark and only LED lights in the corridor provide lights.


    Did they n on ghost hunting here and didn¡¯t even think to turn on the lights? We were here at my school when I was in elementary. A few steps from here was our ssroom then.


    I started to step forward and the two just followed me. My palms were sweating as I reach the doorknob. It¡¯s good and the light is on inside.


    What the!


    Here are some of our ssmates. I first looked for Kian and saw him sitting in his usual seat. They reced the chairs with monobloc chairs because they could no longer fit there. He smiled at me. My eyes went back to where a handsome, tall man was standing at the teacher¡¯s desk.


    It took a few minutes before I realized who he was especially when he smiled at me. Gone is the little boy he used to be before. A few years have also passed. What¡¯s up? He clearest his throat before picking up the paper on the desk.


    ¡°It was summer when I got to see the most lovely girl I have ever seen,¡± he began. Iughed softly and rolled my eyes slightly. Our former ssmates shouted, imitating what happened that day.


    Really?


    I looked at Kian who was holding back a smile as he sat in his chair.


    Copy cat!


    ¡°I secretly peeked at her through the window of my room every morning. She was always quiet. She looked serious even at her young age. But when she smiled. My hearts melt.¡±


    ¡°Because I was young at that time, I was embarrassed when everyone found out that she liked me in front of our ssmates. I walked out. And after that day, she became distant to me.¡± Alden smiled just like before.


    ¡°She doesn¡¯t pay attention to me anymore and when we stepped into high school she liked someone else. I feel so frustrated. So I threatened all those who wanted to court her.¡±


    I was now nailed in where I was standing and covered my face.


    Really, Kian?


    ¡°Ayiiieh!¡± Everyone screamed.


    ¡°It¡¯s enviable!¡±


    ¡°You really want me to read this? You¡¯re not too young to send me your love letter,¡± Alden said to Kian who made us allugh.


    Alden handed me the letter before he went to his former seat. Kian stood up and walked over to me.


    ¡°When we were young. I always imagine my future with you. And it dide true when ckmailing you lead us into an unexpected marriage.¡±Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    Weughed. We looked at each other. Both had smiles on our lips.


    ¡°I love you so much, Bethany Cristobal Montelibano.¡±


    He slowly knelt down and pulled out of his pocket a ring with arge diamond on it.


    ¡°Marry me again, Moo. This time in the presence of the Lord and witnesses who know and love us.¡±


    He took my hand. Kissed it before looking up at me. I don¡¯t know why I¡¯m crying because after all, we¡¯re married. I nodded andughed.


    ¡°Marry me,¡± he said again while staring at me.


    ¡°Yes. I will marry you.¡±


    The size of the smile on his lips was beyond measurement. He immediately put the ring on my finger. He stood up then and immediately kissed me before hugging me tightly.


    ¡°I love you so much, Moo,¡± Kian whispered in the middle of our hug.


    ¡°I love you so much, too,¡± I replied and kissed him again.

 Chapter 30 Epilogue

    Kian and I had only been preparing for our wedding for a month. Our parents handle the cost of our wedding. Even though Kian and his parents wanted to handle it all. Our parents insisted that he¡¯ll just use his money for the construction of our dream house.


    While I was away, he started building our dream house. He was really confident that we would not be separated, because he continued anyway.


    It was designed by an architecture student at the university we were attending. Just a little finishing and we can live already there.


    After the wedding, we will fix the interior design of the house before we leave the country for our honeymoon. We¡¯ll spend a month traveling abroad, before going back to the country. Back to work, business, and to start having a family of our own. It¡¯s our mutual decision to have a baby.


    The big church here in the city is decorated with different colors of fresh flowers. The church is also filled with our friends, acquaintances, rtives, and ssmates from elementary to college. They had smiles on their lips as their eyes focused on me.


    I feel so special right now. I feel like I¡¯m the most beautiful woman on the face of the earth because of the amazement on their faces. Wearing color ivory,cey, and a balloon gown, I walk down the aisle with a teary eye.


    Never thought that this moment woulde. That Kian and I would continue our ns. That I am still the one he will present at the altar after all the problems and trials we have gone through.


    Dad stopped crying as he led me to the altar.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t cry like this when you insisted Kian should marry me,¡± I joked to him.


    Heughed at my joke.


    ¡°You are still our baby girl. Even at an early age, we taught you to be independent. You can afford to live alone while your Mom and I were busy with the business we were starting then. I am proud of you, dear. And I¡¯m d that you found a man who truly loves you. We didn¡¯t make the mistake of insisting him on marrying you.¡±


    Iughed at thest words he said. It¡¯s true! We were not mistaken. I also have no regrets.


    Kian on the altar was also crying. I still remember my joke while we were still in the preparation stage for our wedding.


    ¡°You should cry at our wedding. Because if you don¡¯t cry, thank you for everything.¡±


    He used tough at what I said. He had no answer. Maybe he knew that he would literally cry this day. He said he dreamt about me for a long time.


    It¡¯s all like a dream, but it¡¯s real now. Our love for each other is true and pure.


    Dad hugged Kian when we reached the altar.


    ¡°I told you this before, but I will say it again. Take care and love our one and only baby girl.¡±


    ¡°You can count on it, Dad,¡± he replied.


    When he looked at me, his eyes watered again and he cried again.


    ¡°Congrattions!¡±


    Kian¡¯s introduction to his wedding vow made us allugh.


    ¡°Congrattions on marrying me.¡±


    I just covered my face with what he was saying. The crowd barked intoughter. He smiled and soon his eyes watered again. His hand holding the microphone trembled slightly as his lips twitched from refraining from crying.


    Oh, my cry baby husband.


    ¡°I wanted to give myself a big tap on my shoulder. I feel so proud of myself.¡± He took a deep breath before smiling.


    ¡°I¡¯m so proud of myself because you became mine. I¡¯m so lucky. Uhm, no, I am the luckiest man alive because of you. I will give my best to be your better half. Thank you for your patience and love for me. I love you so much.¡±


    I smiled as I listened to the words he uttered as my tears flowed steadily. I¡¯ve been memorized my wedding vowst night but they all disappeared from my mind now.


    ¡°Kian, thank you. Thank you for your evil ways of making me yours.¡±


    Heughed at what I said.


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t a good and ideal start for us but with each passing day of being married to you, you prove to me how you love me possessively. Even though we were young and became aggressive, we didn¡¯t let go of each other. I love you and will love you for the rest of our lives.¡±


    I still have much to say but I still have many days to tell him.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    In the mornings, we will wake up and meet another challenge of life. I will tell him the words that will motivate us both to move forward. Even in times of emergency.


    And on the night in which we are tired of squabbling and struggling in every trial in our union. I will tell him how much I love him. Every day I will say how happy I am because he is with me in our until we reached being old.


    The reception was held in a hotel. I can¡¯t believe I can use here the few dance steps I learned from the few times I went to a bar.


    It was led by our bridesmaids. Macy and Raul are busy dancing. Barbara, on the other hand, gave her best while her partner barely moved from his position.


    Of course, will Yona and Eliot, the King and queen of the dance floor, will let this chance slip away? They really look good together. But they are not destined for each other.


    ¡°Our bride and groom!¡± the MC called us.


    Kian barely moved at first butter he pushed me away and give his best which entertained everyone. I can no longer focus on the steps because Iugh at his stupidity.


    The program is very good. Even though it waste at night, everyone¡¯s energy was still high. Everyone has smiles on their faces.


    It was so fulfilling.


    After the program, we went up to our suite. We will stay here tonight until tomorrow night. The next day, it¡¯s my shop¡¯s opening so my husband and I will check it out.


    I hold back my smile as I look at the contents of the paper bag Yona sent here to our suite.


    Yona said that her sister had taught her this. A note has already been posted.


    ¡°Do your best. My inws will depend on your performance.¡±


    I burst intoughter.


    I drank the pineapple juice before simultaneously sniffing two pieces of snow bear.


    What are you asking me to do, Yona! Or you¡¯re just making fun of me? Kian was wearing a bathrobe when he came out of the bathroom. I quickly put the paper bag under the bed.


    I smiled. I tapped my side. Before he could stand beside me, he had already taken off his bathrobe. I immediately stood between his thighs.


    ¡°Woah! Excited?¡±


    I giggled and didn¡¯t say anything. I immediately touched his manhood before I shot it in my mouth.


    ¡°What the!¡±
