Wregan's POV"I was surprised to learn that you will be visiting here at home." A beautiful woman approached us. I couldn't help but get a second look at her face. She was like a living Barbie doll talking and walking in front of me. What's her name again? Tilaine? I've heard her name before. If I'm not mistaken she was the woman Luca had a relationship with in New York back then. I was not aware that she was a Doukas. Who is she among the Doukas sisters? I wonder."I'm sorry. It's just that Wregan is insistent, I don't have a choice because this jerk is too stubborn," Kara apologized to her cousin. I, on the other hand, just smiled sheepishly. What will I say?"I see. Daddy is already waiting in his office. Will you all come inside?" Tilaine asked. I still couldn’t help but stare at her beautiful face."No. Only the three of them will come inside to talk to your daddy," Primus replied and pointed at me, Luca and Carnation."Okay. You can come with me, guys." She led the way an
Petunia's POV"KISS! KISS! KISS!" I couldn’t help but roll my eyes because of the screams of the guests. I was even more irritated by the sound of goblets being beaten with utensils. A waiter passed in front of me. I took from its carrying tray a glass of Negroni, a cocktail drink. I took a sip from my drink, and I immediately tasted the delicious mixture of vermouth rosso, campari and gin."Whooa !!" The guests shouted again when the newlyweds accepted their request for a kiss. My jaw clenched and held the negroni glass tightly.The scene was stressing me out! Too painful in the eyes, especially in my heart. Why did I even go to this wedding? Annoyed, I drank the rest of my glass, and when the waiter passed by again, I took another serve of wine."Aren't you going to get drunk with that?" I raised an eyebrow at what I heard. I faced the man who spoke behind me. It was Wregan Leath, a friend of the groom like me. But we are not close to each other, they are in a different c
Carnation's POVI lost consciousness due to chest tightness, I had difficulty breathing, and when I woke up it was dawn. I forced myself to get up to go down to the first floor. There I caught up with Wregan sleeping on the long sofa with no top on. I never saw Kara again, no trace of the woman in the whole flat.I sneaked out. I couldn’t stand Wregan’s presence, I just remembered the sh*t that he made last night. I left his condo with only my cellphone and wallet. Opposite the condominium building I hailed a taxi and drove to St. Luke’s, I hung out and ate breakfast at a nearby fast food chain.I no longer care if other customers look at me. How can they not when I am crying while eating? To the extent that my tears have become my rice soup.I stayed in that fast food chain for god knows how long as long as I knew my ass was getting thicker after a few hours of sitting. The staff didn't bother telling me off either so I stayed there first even though I looked like a fool. I
Carnation's POV"Hi," Wregan greeted me with a little smile. My grip on the glass of water tightened. "I'm glad that you finally gave up hiding from me." If only I had the strength to be like Captain America I might have broken the glass in my hand with my grip on it so tightly. The thickness of his face, he has the guts to tell me that even though it all started with him."I'm not hiding from you, it's just that my stomach can't handle watching your cheating face in front me," I calmly yet firmly said. I glared back at him. I won't let myself lose to him this time, even though it hurts, I won't let him see my vulnerable state right in front of him. His jaw clenched. "Will you believe me if I'll tell you that nothing happened between me and Kar–""Don't even mention that b*tch's name." His gaze on me sharpened. Seems like he didn't like what I just called the woman he loves. The fuck, it's because of these bastards thag swearing became my hobby. "Nothing happened," he insisted bu
"I thought you're the one who's gonna pick me up?" Wregan sensed that his girlfriend was sulking. He secretly smiled but immediately wiped it out of his lips. "Yeah, I'm sorry. I think I won't be able to finish this immediately. I'll just see you in the house.""Okay.. I understand." Carnation sweetly said but he's sure that his girlfriend is already in a sour mood. Damn, he needs to make it up to her later. "Okay. I'll see you later.""Bye–" he immediately ended the call when he saw Kara with a sales lady. "Here, this is the only thing I saw that can fit her. The stones of the other rings are too AO." The lady presented a beautiful ring in front of him. "I like it. Simple yet perfectly beautiful." He commented that it made his best friend smile. "Just like her, right? That's how detailed you describe her to me.""Yeah.. Just like her." There was a smile on his lips when he answered. "I'm so excited to meet her in person." Kara smiled as she said that. Tonight, Wregan is plannin
Carnation inhaled deeply and swallowed forcefully when she noticed the document on the table. With a quivering hand, she accepted the paper and pen Mist offered."Are you sure you want to do this?" Mist inquired. Carnation bit her bottom lip and looked down at the papers she was holding. "Once you sign the contract, you can't back out." She remained silent, so Mist spoke up again, "think about it twice."Carnation breathed deeply with a loud sigh. She didn't want to do this job, but she didn't have any other choice. Her earnings aren't enough to pay for her father's medical bills, repaying their debt, and family support."It's still possible to quit," Mist suggested.She shook her head repeatedly. "No. . . I've made up my mind.""You're pretty desperate, aren't you?"When Carnation's father was diagnosed with lymphoma and required long-term treatment, she was devastated. Their family's small business failed, and they were in great debt. In o
"This is not enough," Leonora expressed her dissatisfaction showing the Five Thousand Pesos to Carnatio. She couldn't look her stepmother in the eyes, she was very ashamed. Even if she wanted to give more, she didn't have anything to give."Tita, I have nothing left. That's all I get from working part-time at the convenience store and the gas station.""I know you're doing everything you can to make us money, but it isn't enough. Five thousand pesos was not enough for your daddy's medicine alone."Carnation remained silent and crouched over her head. She couldn't reason out. Leonora was right in all she said. But does she even have a choice? Even if she wants to get full-time work with a high salary, she cannot do so due to her lack of experience and education."By the way," Leonora said hesitantly, "Galel came by earlier and asked when we were going to pay him." Galel Vegas is her father's business partne
All the employees greeted Luca with a, "good afternoon, Mr. Lust." As he passed by. He didn't bother to say anything to them, he just nodded and left."Barnald, what's the update on our recruitment?" Luca inquired to his 43-year-old assistant. They are now heading to his office on the 3rd floor of Casa de Lujuria."We've got two applicants, sir," Barnald politely informed him. "They will be put through a physical test this coming weekend"."A minimum of three applicants can be taken for the physical test, right?" a frown appeared on Luka's face as he asked."Yes, sir.""Then do not conduct a physical test with only two candidates. It's a waste of time!""I'll look for a third applicant, sir," Barnald assured. Luca nodded to his assistant and led the way out of the elevator.Luca owns Casa de Lujuria, an exclusive nightclub inside the Seven Sins Luxury Hote
