Biglang naramdaman ni Chloe ang mainit na halik ni Luke pababa sa kanyang leeg, it was a sensation unlike anything she had ever experienced before. He expertly kissed her once again which made her lose all sense of logic. She fluttered her eyes, as she heard herself gasping and moaning involuntarily from the physical contact. He then moved his kisses covering her lips, tasting every inch of her. She smelled his intoxication, which could be brandy or bourbon, and felt drunk from this intimacy too.
Luke's mind was feverish, it had been too long since he felt this much excitement towards his wife, and the way she responded to him felt differently beautiful. There's inhibition to her actions, like shyness and innocence wrapped into one. It's not the usual way Ruby used to make love with him. The way she feels under his kisses too is significantly better, she's making him feel blinded by desire. Not caring about his previous hatred towards her, Luke once again ignored the disgust
"I can explain, Luke..." she panicked, her voice trembling with urgency and desperation, wanting for him to understand. Chloe’s words were uttered in a rush; each letter was emphasized to convey her sense of pleading as she struggled to elaborate her thoughts knowing that he could harm her or kick her out. Her revenge would be put to waste if she didn’t do this right and Chloe knew she must do it right no matter what. Sweat glistened on her forehead even though the night was cold sipping through her nakedness, her breaths coming in short gasps as she searched for the right words to say it to him, her emotions slowly betraying. Her hands were clasped tightly, as she attempted to face him. "We have all night for you to tell me why my wife's face is plastered on your body," he responded slowly, his earlier sweetness and warmth gone. The man standing before her now seemed ready to go for the kill if necessary. Chloe swallowed. How could she possibly convince him of my in
As his eyes landed on her face, Luke couldn't shake the oddness of seeing Ruby before him. How had this woman managed to deceive him so thoroughly? He hated himself for not picking up on the clues sooner. Was he truly that dense? This was supposed to be his wife, and it was concerning how easily he had been fooled. Luke reflected on his belief that he could see through people's facades and lies, realizing now how foolish he had been to think otherwise.Though her words evoked certain feelings within him, he could not allow himself to make the same mistake. “This woman is an impostor,” he thought firmly. “Is she working alone? Does she have any other contacts? A syndicate working behind the scenes?”. He has no answer to these questions yet and until he does he could not afford to trust.She suddenly bit her lips, trying to suppress a cry as she wiped her tears away. Her actions caused her to loosen her grip on the sheet, the only thing covering h
Chloe opened her eyes, grimacing as she felt the soreness in her body. The sun's rays beaming brightly through the window made her squint her eyes as she shielded them using her hand. Turning around, she saw the empty side of her bed, Luke was gone, he probably left on the brink of dawn but the traces of what happened to both of them last night were evident on the sheets. A spot of blood stained the mattress and Chloe wanted to cry out of frustration at her weakness and her miscalculation on how dangerous Luke was. His seduction and charm always made her feel uneasy but witnessing how he maneuvered, bewitching her last night was straight terrifying. She did not even fight harder. Dahan-dahang bumangon si Chloe at walang pag-aatubilng naglakad patungo sa banyo, she didn’t bother covering her nakedness anymore, she wasn't sure if she was able to get enough rest. She couldn't count how many times Luke had made love to her. As she watched herself in the mirror, her face
Hindi naglaon ay umalis na din ang ina ni Luke, Chloe roamed her eyes around wondering if she should be informing him of his mother’s visit. She does not want to lie anymore so she would need him to deal with the complications on his side of the family. She was pulled back to the present state when she heard Zoie calling her again."Mommy, Mommy! Can I wear my pink dress?" sabi nito habang hinahatak ang tupi ng kanyang damit."Of course, I will fix your hair too so that you'll look pretty," she answered, and Zoie smiled from ear to ear.Chloe was standing in front of the mirror and was contemplating what she'd wear. She does not know where Luke will take them so she wants to make sure that she wears what's appropriate based on the occasion. She went through the closet and thought that wearing something fancy was a bit much so she decided to wear a simple halter body-con neck dress that hugged her flattering figure. She applied light makeup and fixed her ha
When they arrived at their destination, Luke was assisting both Choe and Zoie as they traversed to the building rooftop where the restaurant was located, Chloe thought that it was the longest elevator ride she had ever experienced, each floor seemed to carry them closer to the heavens. The colossal building stretched upward, and Chloe couldn't help but feel a sense of awe looking at the structure. The beautiful glow of the city below was breathtaking. When they finally stepped out of the elevator they were ushered into this expansive space of modern architecture, bath in the natural glow of the moonlight, they were guided to their table and Luke whispered to Chloe. “Do you like the place?” he asked. “Yes, of course, this place is stunning” she commented. A gentle breeze stirred the air, carrying with it the tantalizing aroma of gourmet cuisine and the faint music in the background. "Wow!" Zoie verbalized amazed to see the view. “Look at the stars Daddy!” she
Chloe twirled around in front of the mirror, feeling a bit silly but also incredibly excited. Finally having the opportunity to see her dad was everything she ever wished for. For some reason, Lucille managed to isolate him from the world, even changing his phone number. Sneaking around and warning him of what was coming had become incredibly difficult. But now, being able to go with Luke openly and see him made her feel overjoyed. This day had finally arrived!Chloe decided to wear a red dress that hugged her body perfectly. Since she started carrying Ruby's face, she found herself mimicking her style of dressing especially when there were events she needed to deal with the public, something Chloe wouldn't do regularly. But flaunting her sexiness and showing a bit of skin made her feel empowered. Initially, she didn't think she would enjoy it, but Chloe eventually became comfortable with her ability to flirt, especially with Luke. She smirked confidently as she admired herse
The atmosphere in the ballroom suddenly shifted as everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to the hosts of the night. Luke and Chloe did the same too, watching as David Reyes and Lucille descended the staircase together, greeting guests with smiles and welcome. David was wearing a tuxedo with tailored sharp lines which Chloe knew was Lucille’s choosing, she dressed his dad with designer brands from head to foot, polishing his look for her own display. David never likes the sparkles of clothes and jewelry, he usually wears boring old suits which garners a hefty comment from her stepmother, but tonight they complimented each other’s look which was intentional. Lucille’s gown was a couture of a popular designer; it has a rich navy fabric that has a mesmerizing effect. Her dress flowed gracefully as she walked through the crowd capturing their attention towards her. She also added a massive piece of jewelry hanging on her neck and ears, Lucille
Chloe was blinded by the massive lights from the reflector and the non-stop shutter of the camera, Lucille’s store set up a temporary studio so they could do photoshoots for her new collection. It was buzzing with activity as the crew members set up the needed devices, while the others meticulously created the set for the agreed concept, the backdrop had the details that made Chloe appreciate their creativity. Chloe had been there for almost three hours now, the hair and makeup took a while, mirroring the story that the photographer wanted to capture. She breathed in and out trying to calm herself. “This is too much of a hassle,” she thought.Ryan, a renowned photographer, was consumed in his little world while he fine-tuned the lighting and experimented with different angles to achieve his goal, he is still deciding whether he should be using soft diffused light, or dramatic shadows to add depth to his photos, after everything was in place the photoshoot be
