His breath is hard, and his jaws twitch in an attempt to retain control as he stares into Anna”s lovely face.
He had already laid Anna on the bed and was on top of her, his hands resting on either side of her to keep from running over her.
“However,” Anna observed, pouting, “I want you.” With his eyes tightly clenched, he looked at his wife. She is unquestionably a tease.
He clenched his eyes shut, trying to persuade himself that stealing Anna”s kiss was a bad idea.
In his head, he cursed himself and his companion several times because instead of settling down, it hardened even more.
Fuck! Is it true that he has made so many mistakes that he is tormented like this?
Anna”s warm, soft body isn”t helping him get out of his bind. He felt like he was a flammable fuel that would ignite if he was even slightly touched by Anna”s hot body.
He had no idea where he got the strength to turn away from Anna so slowly. When they are near each other, he knows he will be unable to resist claiming him.
“No, let us talk,” he said with a big sigh.
He”ll throw a great party if he can”t make love to Anna tonight. Many people say he”s frugal, so he”s optimistic about getting an answer. He will definitely make love to his wife till the sun rises, therefore there will be no celebration.
He noticed Anna was staring at him.
“Alessandre, seriously, what are you doing here?” “Perhaps Cassy will be enraged at me once more if she discovers you”re here with me,” she said quietly.
He sighed deeply. Cassy”s handling of her appears to have scarred her.
Yes, he uncovered the truth about what occurred on that particular day. Cassy replied by punching him once he found she was the one who started the fight. Imagine his fury when he learned of this. If Cassy hadn”t been pregnant at the time, he might have hit her.
“Honey,” he began, pleadingly looking at her, “everything you saw and heard that day is not true.” He”s begging with her to believe what he”s saying.
“Cassy informed me she is pregnant, and I am the father of her child,” he said, looking down, scared of her reaction.
He could not believe his ears when he heard what he did. When he noticed how icy Anna”s face was when she glanced at him, he swallowed.
He answered slowly, “Yes, that is true.”
She saw Anna”s pain pass through her eyes, but she could readily imagine it.
Before telling Anna the truth, he took a big breath. He was not sure what she would do if she found out what had really happened, but no matter what happened, he was certain of one thing: he would never let Anna abandon him again.
Even though she was furious with him right now, he would ensure that Anna returned to him. It is not for nothing that he is recognized as a smart and vicious millionaire.
“Cassy and I finally broke up six months after our wedding,” he begins. Because Anna”s attention was drawn to him, he swallowed quietly.
“Cassy and I still have a relationship, even though we were married; we still communicate with each other, but not as often as before; we will only meet once,” he explained. “I am busy managing my company, and I know that in recent times, Dad has been observing me. Dad hired someone to spy on me if I still meet with Cassy, so I do not see Cassy much.”
“It is just been two months since we married, and Cassy and I have been progressively degrading. She grew demanding, and she wanted me to go home to her condo instead of you, and when I refused, we quarreled,” he continued.
Anna pays close attention to what he says. He prayed that Anna would understand him and not divorce him because he could not read her mind.
“That is the main reason why I always get drunk. I have been really stressed during that time because I need to close a big business deal with a client, but it almost became ruined for all of that because of Cassy. She rushed in furiously at the company, asking why I was not visiting her at her condo. She caused a scandal with the company. Mom and Dad found out, and as expected, they were furious.
“Tsk,” she asks, arching her brows, “is that why you are constantly furious at me and you always unleash your wrath on me because of that?”
When he noticed his wife’s reaction, he swallowed hard. Because of her solemn expression, she is somewhat frightening. He had no idea that his wife could be both angelic and terrifying.
“I will explain later; first, let me complete my story, okay?” he asked.
She does nothing but roll her eyes at him. He took a big breath and exhaled slowly.
He went on to tell her the rest of the story.
He was still deafeningly deafeningly deafeningly deafeningly deafeningly He is so engulfed in his notion that he loves Cassy that he disobeys his parents’ requests rather than following their wishes.
Cassy and he are still meeting in secret.
He noticed a difference in Cassy”s conduct a few months later. She frequently expresses her desire for him to divorce Anna and marry her instead.
When he ignored her requests, she threatened to end their relationship.
He let Cassy leave, possibly because he was tired of trying to comprehend her conduct. He was not convinced by what she said. He assumed the woman would not follow through on her threat to him.
He didn”t hear from the woman for about two months, and when he did, he was accompanied by an elderly man twice his age, whom Cassy introduced as her fiance.
He expected to be hurt by what he discovered, but that did not happen. He even seemed relieved to learn about Cassy”s impending wedding.
He expected to be devastated by Cassy”s decision to marry another man, but he is not. That is why he became inebriated.
He did not drink drunk because seeing Cassy with another man affected him; he drank because he could not handle the sorrow of losing his long-term partner.
That is when he discovered how much he cared for Cassy. He forced himself to believe that the feelings he had for her were those of love. Even though he can”t deny his genuine sentiments, he engraved in his mind that he loves Cassy.
“What do you mean?” Anna inquires, intrigued.
Her eagerness to learn the full story of Alessandre was palpable.
When Alessandre saw Anna’s curious expression, he smiled.
She is staring at him innocently as she waits for him to tell her his story. He could not help himself and swiftly stretched out to Anna, lightly kissing her crimson lips.
Her eyes widened as she realized what he had done. As she kissed him again, the woman immediately covered her mouth. When he saw the redness on its face, he burst out laughing. Cute.
With a huge grin on his face, he added, “Aww, my baby is blushing.”
She feigned to be upset with him by rolling her eyes at him. He can only shake his head at his wife’s sweet gesture. She had the appearance of a shy girl who has just seen her crush. He’s salivating at the prospect of biting his wife. She is already a tattletale just by being herself.
He smiled fondly as he remembered the first time he met her and continued, “You know, I have been in love with this girl ever since.”
Her round eyes, which seemed to be curious about everything, her porcelain and silky skin, which he yearned to touch even back then, her red and enticing lips, and her laugh, which seemed to be music to his ears. That girl fascinates him in every way.
His icy heart began to eratically throb on his chest when he first saw her that time. His life, which had previously been monotonous, had suddenly become vibrant.
He like it more more when she smiles. When he sits down, he feels his tiredness dissipate.
He notices her grin.
“Wow, you have a first love?” Anna inquired, her voice trembling.
He gave her a heartfelt nod. He locked his gaze on her.
However, she appears to be in pain. He avoided kissing her when he was ready. Because of Anna’s avoidance, his lip landed on her jaw rather than her lips.
As he turned to face her, his brows furrowed.
“I simply want to taste your lips again, darling. I miss you so much. I am only holding back from claiming you, but believe me when I say that I have been yearning you since the first day,” Alessandre explained. As he looks at Anna, his eyes are filled with lust and love.
He walked up to Anna slowly. Anna”s troubled expression gradually gave way to shock. When he noticed his wife”s apprehension, he smiled.
This little brat is behaving as though his presence has no effect on her, yet look at her now, she is terrified as a cat.
“W-what are you doing?” she asked, stuttering. He couldn”t stop laughing at what she said.
“You really look like a goddess, baby,” he said, staring at her slightly open lips. “I am addicted to your smell, your soft lips, everything about you. You are like a drug that my body is addicted to, and I am your willing victim.”
He could see how she was casting spells on what he said. She took a step back and averted her attention from him.
He laughed and remarked to Anna, “Aww, my baby is shy. You are so cute.” His wife gave him a cold stare before pouting. He wanted to kiss her even more because of what she had done.
“Alessandre, stop flirting with me! You said you wanted someone else, so why are you flirting with me again?” she yelled angrily. He was amused by what he had overheard from his wife.
“So?” he responded, a wide grin on his face. Her expression got even more perplexed.
“Do not so-so me, Alessandre. I will really kick you if you do not stop crawling towards me!” she said, rolling her eyes at him. His fiery woman is fierce.
He winked at her and said, “Trust me, baby, you will love it when I crawl at you.”
She screamed, “Pervert!”
He laughed in response to what he said. She is, without a doubt, his happy pill.
“Alessandre, stay away. It is horrible to look at you,” she replied, gently pushing him away. Alessandre was unfazed; after all, he is far stronger than she is.
He mocked her, “Ow? Maybe you are driving me away from you because you are jealous of my first love.” Because of what he stated, the woman”s face flushed.
“I do not care about your first love; it is fine with me if you two are still together; I will buy you a house, if you want,” she remarked sarcastically.
When he heard what Anna said, his countenance got serious. He did not agree with Anna”s statement and felt hurt when she stated it.
“Take back what you said,” he continued earnestly, his gaze fixed on Anna”s.
Anna”s gaze swiftly shifted to him. As she glanced at him, her brow furrowed. As she glanced at her, her eyes were filled with surprise.
“What?” she inquires. She seemed oblivious to what she was saying.
He drew himself closer to Anna”s. When she realized what he was doing, she became worried.
“Hey, Alessandre! I told you to keep away!” Anna yelled at him, but he did not budge.
He asked Anna a serious inquiry, “You do not mean it, right?” But Anna”s brows were furrowed as she stared at him in awe.
“What are you talking about, Alessandre? I am not sure what you are talking about,” she said.
He said firmly, “It is what you said about my first love. Tell me you do not mean it.” Anna only guffawed at him. Because of what Anna stated, his expression darkened even more.
“Why would I take back what I said? Isn”t it true that you love someone else?” Mapang sarcastically asks.
His mouth hung open as he listened to what she said. Before walking away from Anna, he let out a long sigh.
To breathe, he turned to the room”s veranda. He needs to take a break from the heat.
He took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He let out a puff of cigarette smoke. He would already used through a pack of smokes for the day. This is the second time he is released a pack.
This is what he does when loneliness consumes him. He finds that smoking helps him relax.
When someone put his cigarette in his mouth, he was taken aback. He was about to reprimand the offender when he realized Anna had grabbed the cigarette from his mouth.
Her brow is wrinkled, and she is staring at the cigarette smoke with her nose scrunched. He sighed and snatched the cigarette from his wife”s grip, extinguishing the flame.
She inquires, “What are you doing here, Alessandre? Do not tell me to go back to yours?”
He remained silent and stared off into the horizon. He became aware of his wife approaching him.
He did not try to push her away; instead, he merely glanced ahead. As she inhales Anna”s natural aroma, he closes her eyes. Nothing has changed; he is still completely enamored with the woman sitting next to him. Tsk, if he could still avoid ladies back then, they would still be together.
He would not have avoided Anna if he had known she would become his wife. He was too preoccupied with avoiding the woman to recognize that he was in pain as a result of it.
He had not been there for her when she needed him the most.
That is something he regrets greatly. He should have been by her side as she battled her sadness.
“Seriously, Alessandre, why are you here?” Anna responded softly.
He gave a sour smile. What brings him here? He still has a lot of career opportunities in the Philippines, but he opted to come here.
The woman inquired, “How did you locate me?” He didn”t say anything further after that.
“Alessandre, I am talking to you. Why aren”t you talking? Has your tongue been cut out and you cannot speak?” Anna”s voice was irritated because he did not respond.
She responded, “Fine! I am sorry, okay?! Tsk, even though I have no idea what I did to you, you are ignoring me.” When he simply looks at it from his side, she is pouting.
“Tsk,” she remarked, rolling her eyes at hed, “you”ll bring me here and then you will not talk to me; I am taking a nice walk and then you brought me here and then you won”t talk to me.”
“Alessandre, are you crying?” Anna said, concerned, but she simply shook her head. He wrapped his arms around his wife even tighter.
Anna touched both of his cheeks to look at her face once he had calmed down. As she stared at him, he could see her concern.
She softly inquires, “Why are you crying, huh?” Anna rubbed her palms together and touched his damp cheek.
After wiping away his tears, she kissed him on the cheek.
“You are really here,” he said gently to himself, his gaze fixed on Anna”s.
“I tried to forget my love for you. For eight years, I forced myself to forget you. I told myself that you are off limits. You are an innocent woman, and I am afraid to taint you. I avoided you then not because I did not like you. I avoided you then because I was afraid that my love for you might deepen,” he said.
Anna”s face is flushed with surprise when she hears what Alessandre has said.
“W-what are you talking about?” Anna inquired, her voice trembling. She was astounded by what he said.
“Remember my first love, Anna, that I told you about just minutes ago? That is you, Anna. You are the one I am talking about, don,” he continued. As she glanced at him, Anna”s lips parted.
She could not believe what she was hearing and said, “How did that happen?”
He asked Anna, “Do you recall the first time we met?”
“You were staring at me with interest, and you even asked me how you could get the color of my eyes,” he recalls with a smile. Anna, too, was laughing as she remembered their first meeting.
She did not anticipate the man to do it, either.
“I have loved you before, Anna,” he said lovingly. “I restrained myself, God knows how hard I tried to keep myself from falling for you, but I could not. It has always been you. You and you are still the ones I really love.” He moved his face closer to Anna’s over time. They closed their eyes in delight when their lips finally connected. Their hearts are bursting at the seams. They were in one other’s arms once more. It took a long time for them to realize their affections for each other, but it was well worth the wait.
