As he promised yesterday, today Hardin fulfills all of Tessa's wishes. From surfing to jet skiing and banana boat rides. Now they're recharging their batteries by sipping coconut water on the beach, leaning back on a couple of beach chairs. Hardin is possessive as he doesn't let go of Tessa's hand even though they're both just lying down."Honey, are you asleep?" asks Hardin, uncovering Tessa's beach hat that covers his wife's beautiful face.Sure enough, Tessa was sleeping peacefully, Hardin shielding Tessa's face with the beach hat. Hardin's eyes scan Tessa's face in full, his wife looks so beautiful there's no one like her, not even the goddess Aphrodite."Stop watching my face, I'm going to explode now." Tessa opens her eyes, she can't stand being watched intensely by Hardin."I thought you were asleep, turns out you were lying." Hardin moves closer to Tessa's face, giving a small peck to the small lips smeared with cherry-scented lipgloss."Almost, but you woke me up." Tessa chan
"How is Mr. Josephine? Is this resting place big enough?" Hardin gazed at the burial place he had reserved. A very peaceful place to fall asleep in peace, Hardin also chose right under a tree that would protect him from the heat. "Very good. I agree to take this," Hardin replies to the person who helped him find a good burial spot. "Okay. But I apologize in advance. Who will be keeping it?" "Someone who will like it," Hardin replies with a smile. "I'm sorry for your sadness, Mr. Josephine. After this, I hope you get the best replacement," says the cemetery owner. "Thank you." Hardin turned back and looked at the places that had been filled. Many of the years were old, but Hardin would be the youngest to rest here. "Hello. I'm Hardin Josephine, I hope I can make good friends with you guys later," Hardin monologues to himself. Hardin looked up at the clear sky. He smiled with his eyes closed. God. If something happens to me someday. Please make sure the one I love is in a w
"Please don't stress too much Mrs. Josephine. Congratulations on your pregnancy," the doctor said, still leaving Tessa in shock. Even her hands were shaking violently. Tessa could hardly believe that she was pregnant, and that she could only find out two months after her husband's death,her body was so thin it was almost like a living skeleton. Tessa walked out with tears already welling up in her eyes. She no longer had the strength to take a step, amongst all the pain that still lingered. There was always Berlin to witness it all, her body falling into Berlin's warm embrace. "Tessa, is everything okay?" Berlin whispered, holding Tessa's falling body. Tessa's tears were all she could muster. Her lips were pressed together so tightly that she couldn't even let out a sob. It was all too shocking, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad to receive this news. Sadly. Berlin was again faced with Tessa's devastation which gave her Dejavu. Seeing Tessa in ruin for the second time,
Tessa had black stockings on her legs; a tight maroon velvet dress was her choice tonight for work. What are you thinking? Are you thinking of her working in a nightclub or working as a bitch? Unfortunately, Tessa's job wasn't that bad; it was better than selling herself. Her cell phone rang again. Tessa immediately picked it up, as the call was from the customer who had hired her tonight. "Give me five minutes. Are you at the front yet?" Tessa still didn't know who her customer was tonight, nor did she know his face. One thing she did know was that the man named Harry was 30 years old, about seven years older than Tessa, who was only 23 years old at the moment. Tessa quickly ran and stood in front of the old dressing table. She applied dark red lipstick and removed her hair rollers. Letting her wavy display hair fall over her bare shoulders. Tessa had had a difficult life in terms of money since she was a child. From a young age, Tessa was used to working to pay off the debts of h
Tessa rubbed her cheek, which was still very sore. She just wanted to get to her apartment and get an ice pack that would take the pain away. And, hopefully, not leave slap marks that ended up turning blue.This was normal for Tessa because this was the life she had been living. She'll take every risk because, well, there's nothing easy about working. And let's just say that even prostitutes sometimes pretend to be satisfied to keep their customers happy.When will she do this?No idea!!!Tessa never knew how long she would continue to live like this. Shouldn't she be enjoying her life, even at her age? Women out there are having fun and dating; some have families.The more Tessa imagined it. Then, it only felt more like an illusion to her. The taxi that had brought her had now stopped in front of her apartment.Tessa took out a few bills from her wallet and handed them to the taxi driver. Tessa got out of the taxi barefoot, deliberately not wearing her heels and just carrying them wi
Tessa just looked at some of the messages that were starting to come into her phone. a lot of work that she should have received today but, instead, she chose to ignore it. After swiping through social media, which was full of all kinds of people covered in perfect characters, Tessa felt sick and threw her phone on the table. It made Tessa feel fed up and threw her cell phone on the glass table in front of her. To be honest, she was bored with not doing any work. But, because last night's events that occurred made her have to rest herself today how could she not? The slap that the snake woman did her left a mark on Tessa's cheek. even though Tessa originally thought it wouldn't be like this. "Damn it!" Tessa accidentally touched her cheek and made her grimace. "I should have raised the price of last night's rent. Look at that!!! Because of that guy, I had to take a slap that ruined my face. " Tessa looked at her face from the front camera of her cell phone which showed how badly h
Axel touched his cheek, which had received a slap from a woman he had just kissed a few minutes ago. Axel was sure he was drunk by now, which was a factor in why he was so bold as to grab a woman by the scruff of the neck and kiss her on the lips. Axel held his head, which was throbbing with who knows how many glasses of alcohol he had drunk tonight, and the last one he drank was the alcohol that came from the glass of the woman he had grabbed. Axel fell on one of the sofas in the club. He closed his eyes, trying to undo one more button on his shirt. Until three buttons were undone, exposing his body. The image of the woman suddenly appeared in Axel's mind as the sharp gaze the woman showed him when Axel's sassy mouth called the woman something he shouldn't have. Axel had just realized that what the woman had said was the truth. Axel had heard from the tender woman, that she was not from one of the workers at this nightclub. ''Forget it, Axel. Consider it a mistake tonight, an accid
The next day, Tessa was back to preparing herself. This time she met someone who hired her for a simple outfit: a black shirt and light blue jeans with rips on both knees. Tessa's favorite shoes have always been faded boots. Before leaving her apartment, Tessa still didn't skip breakfast, though, only making her morning cup of cold Americano coffee and a slice of low-calorie whole wheat bread. Last night's incident at the club really made Tessa feel irritated again when she remembered it. The man's face was so handsome, but it was unfortunate that he had such an uneducated mouth. "Asshole! I guess the slap I gave him wasn't enough." Tessa swore as she stuffed a piece of bread into her mouth. She walked with her plate and glass to the sink and just set them there. Tessa returned her attention to her appearance in the mirror in front of her. She did this every time she was about to go through a job that would either look fun or make her feel miserable again.''Hey Tessa, look at you!
