Chapter 3

"Waaahhh! Pervert! Goddammit, you maniac!" He was holding his fully erect junior, and there was some white stuff on it. What was that? Sperm? Cum? Whatever! My innocent eyes are no longer innocent!

"Wait, why didn't you just let me go home? Why did you have to lock me in here? I don't want to be here! Let me out, you demon!" I complained to Ero as he suddenly pulled me into his mini-bedroom in his office, saying that I should stay here until his dad leaves.

"Do you really think Dad would believe me if I introduce you as my secretary?" he asked irritably, looking at me from head to toe. To hide my embarrassment, I glared at him and slapped his chest. It felt like I was the one who got hurt.

He's so hard! Wait, why am I even thinking that? I suddenly remembered what Ero said, and I nodded in agreement. That's exactly what I was thinking earlier. I sighed and sat down on the bed.

"It's your fault! You insisted on making me wear this! I look like I'm working at a club rather than being a secretary—" I couldn't continue what I was about to say when Ero suddenly covered my mouth and gave me a look that seemed to say, 'be quiet.'

"Ero, son, where are you?" Is that Ero's dad? Why does his voice sound so familiar to me? Ero whispered to me before he removed his fragrant hand from my mouth.

"Don't make any noise," he said, and I nodded in response. "Stay here, I'll be back when Dad leaves." I nodded again and was taken aback when he softly pressed his lips against mine. I realized they were Ero's lips. Along with that came a strange rush of heartbeat and butterflies in my stomach after he kissed me. I found myself staring at him for a moment, wishing the kiss had lasted longer.

The next thing I heard was the clicking sound of a door being locked from outside. Ugh! I won't be able to get out because he locked me in here.

I touched my chest and could still feel my heart racing. Slowly, I raised my hand to my lips without even realizing it. I had to hold back a scream when I remembered the scene I stumbled upon in his bathroom.

I remembered how he was holding himself, then he covered his hand with his mouth! Fuck! This is so stupidly gross! That Ero is disgusting! God knows what he was doing there before I walked in!

But his dad's voice sounds so familiar, just like Jacobo's. I sighed, maybe I just miss him so much that I mistake Ero's dad's voice for his.

Speaking of Jacobo, I looked at my phone to check if he had sent me a text, but there was still none. Last night, he told me that he would accompany his amazing wife to visit his in-laws' ranch because he missed them so much. His wife is such a drama queen. I wonder how he can tolerate her.

When Jacobo and I become husband and wife, I'll make sure our relationship won't be dramatic. I won't have to visit my parents in the province because they're already in another country with their new families.

My mom married a white guy, and they live in California with my stepbrother. As for my dad, he's in Canada with his new wife and their two stepbrothers. I am just a result of a one-night mistake. So it's no wonder I grew up with my grandparents, my mom's parents.

Ero's dad has already left, and that guy wasted no time dragging me towards his mini living room set. "Martha is on her way here," Ero said seriously. "Do something to shoo her away." I raised an eyebrow at him and glared. After locking me up for almost three hours, how dare he order me around without even offering me food?!

I ignored him and turned my back on him. It's already three o'clock! That means it's past lunchtime. Did he expect me to be thrown into the tiger's den right away? What a meddler! He deserves a good slap!

"Kendall, I am talking to you! Don't turn your back on me!" he yelled at me and then violently pushed me in front of him. I was also so annoyed with him that I pinched his hand that was holding me so that he would let go of me.

"Don't call me Kendall, Kendall, can you? Go to sleep! You're not in another country, so don't speak English to me! It's three o'clock in the afternoon, you locked me up for a long time and I still haven't- lunch! Instead of giving me my lunch break, if you can order me around you think who is the king!"

I didn't miss the shock that was registered on his face, probably because I yelled at him, but I don't care anymore. Annoying! Guess who, yes, he is super-hot and handsome, but he has the same attitude! He's a walking demon!

I stood up abruptly from my seat and walked out of his mini-bedroom, but I stopped in my tracks when I saw a woman. She was extremely fair-skinned and wearing a red dress shorter than the one I was wearing. She was also wearing stilettos, with her arms crossed in front of her ample chest. When our gazes met, she raised an eyebrow and looked me up and down.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes. She may look beautiful because of her fair skin, and she may appear sexy because of her revealing outfit, but if she thinks she can scare me with her exposed flesh, she's wrong. "Who are you?" she asked me rudely, and because of my intense hunger and frustration, I blurted out whatever came to mind, taking the side of that annoying demon, Ero.

"Ero's girlfriend." I looked her up and down. "So, if you really fear God and don't want your skin and body to be completely ruined, leave now!" I shouted at her. She swallowed hard and quickly ran towards the exit.

I sighed when she was finally gone. When I turned around, I noticed a man clapping behind me, with an amused and almost admiring expression on his face. He was handsome, but he seemed foolish to find joy in what I just did.

"Wow! What a performance! You managed to chase away Martha so quickly," he said to me. I didn't respond and went out to find the canteen. I was starving.

--

When I returned to Ero's office around four thirty PM, Miss Curtis told me that Ero wasn't there, and despite my reluctance, I, as his secretary, still asked where he went. She said he was in a meeting.

I nodded and went straight to my working table. I furrowed my brow when I saw a large square red box on the table. It was a box of cake, based on the brand name written on it. There was also a note, sarcastically written, so I picked it up and read it.

'Job well done. I hope next time you can shoo away more girls who want to see me. I'll be out of town for two days. See you soonest.'

-EM

I immediately opened the cake box and smiled when I saw that it was an ube cake, my favorite! And here come those butterflies in my stomach again. What's with them suddenly appearing every time? Are they hungry too?

I sighed deeply. I have no idea why I'm feeling this way. It would be better for me to go home now and enjoy this ube cake. I suddenly had a strong craving for it!

"Where are we going?" I asked Ero when I noticed that we were taking a different route. "I thought you were going to drop me off at my house?" Now, we were heading towards the downtown area.

"We're going to eat dinner first," he said while keeping his eyes on the road. "I don't want to have dinner with you!" I glared at him. "I need to go home because Jacobo will be there!"

Finally, after the longest week of my life, Jacobo returned from his in-laws' ranch. He stayed there longer because they had a family reunion. Unfortunately, Ero had to blackmail me with a picture he took just so I would pick him up at the airport!

Instead of cooking pasta for Jacobo, which was my plan, I couldn't continue because I wasted all my time waiting for Ero at the airport. He texted me at 3 PM to go to the airport because he was already there, but he actually arrived at 6 PM.

Damn it! I made a fool of myself waiting for him at the airport for three hours! I even tried to go home first so I could cook the pasta, but the guards at the airport blocked me, saying that Ero instructed them not to let me leave. You can see how terrible this guy's attitude is!

"I still need to cook pasta for Jacobo, and it's already 7 PM!" I sighed deeply. "I should have been home before 8 PM because he's going to be there soon, and I don't want to ruin this dinner with him after a long time of waiting." I crossed my arms over my chest.

"If you're hungry, you can eat alone. Just park the car and I'll take a taxi home," and this time, I finally faced Ero. I was about to say something else, but he suddenly got out of the car. Thankfully, I had my seatbelt on, or else I might have kissed his windshield due to the force of his braking.

"Will you shut the fuck up?! And can you fucking stop talking about that guy!" he yelled at me. What's wrong with this guy? Why is he suddenly so angry and taking it all out on me? I didn't do anything to him!

"He's not just any other guy! He has a name, and that's Jacobo, so can you—" I couldn't finish my sentence as he abruptly got out of the car. He circled around and came to my side, opening the car door and removing my seatbelt himself.

He was breathing heavily. It meant that he was still extremely angry but was trying to control it. "Ero, where are you taking me?" I calmly asked him, but it seemed to make him even angrier. He didn't answer and dragged me into a lobby.

I didn't immediately notice where he was taking me; suddenly, we were in front of a large hotel. He tossed his car keys to the valet and we proceeded to the elevator.

Chapter 3

"Oh what happened to you? You just went outside and transformed into a horse?" Katastrophe wasn't satisfied yet, he came closer to me and then raised an eyebrow at me. I raised an eyebrow at him and ignored him.

Probably, probably when I told him that the idiot Justin just named me that his dog is so cute because of the length of his ears, it's good to stop those ears, what a pity! Really sweaty! What is the problem with him and he named his dog after me? Is he teasing? Or maybe I look like a dog in his eyes, so when he got a dog, he followed your name.

Wait a minute - I remembered that he didn't like dogs, did he? What happened? Why is he my dog ​​now? In terms of people change! When I saw that Katastrophe and I had breakfast ready, I went straight to the table and almost ate everything he cooked, but he complained that there was only a little breakfast left for him.

When I entered the office, I immediately frowned when I heard the sound of running water. You know that sound that sounds like me taking a shower? That's what I hear. My heart immediately panicked and I suddenly realized.

Maybe it was my water pipe that suddenly exploded inside Justin's office! Even though I was very bad trip with him because of what he did to obey my name, his dog's name. I still have to do my work!

I went to the office early today because Mr. Thompson I'm not allowed to malate. They said that I was late yesterday and that was the first and last. That's why there's no second thought if you entered Justin's office.

It's difficult, what if my important documents are already soaked in water because of the broken pipe, right? When I finally got inside his office, I didn't see anything wet. I even approached his working table and just like that I winced when I saw the pile of papers that he had to read and approve.

Chineck, it would be good if the leaking water is right here in his office, but it doesn't seem to be there.

I turned my eyes around the whole office because I could still hear the splash of water until my eyes caught the door that was on the right side of his office at the far end.

You won't notice it right away because the door as well as the handle are the same color as the paint on the wall of his office. I slowly walked closer to it, and then I put my ear to the door and I heard the splash of water.

Maybe it's okay with Justin that I go into his bathroom, right? Totally, he is not here yet and it is for work purposes! That's why there was no doubt if I touched the doorknob and luckily it wasn't locked, so I turned it to open it and when I was able to open it completely, I confirmed that this is where the gushing water was coming from.

"The D!" / "Aaaaahhh!" I was immediately taken aback while Justin cursed. I also covered one hand over my eyes but the peg was fill in the blanks because I could still see Justin's naked body! My God!

Kupal is hot! Her legs are sexy, muscular and hairy and her legs are obviously white! As for me, my legs are only light brown, I'm always jealous of her skin color. Huh! Little by little, I looked up and it was too late for Justin to tell me –

"Don't look!" – but I've seen that –

"Ayy! Too bad!" To my surprise, I even jumped and stared again at Justin's disgust. As fat as a mushroom, but the size of a giant mushroom, his head looks like a mushroom. Urgh! I can't do my work properly because I can't get Justin's white mushroom out of my mind!

I feel like I can pass as the tinder of mushrooms and tomatoes! I can feel my cheeks heating up and I'm sure they're red right now.

Fortunately, after that embarrassing scene with Justin, he never left his office. He didn't give me orders either, so I just did my job as his secretary, answering calls, then booking an appointment and emailing him his schedule.

Around eleven AM, Justin's office door suddenly opened, which is why I straightened up from my seat. Miraculously, he came out of his office at this time. What can there be? I immediately felt the reddening of my cheeks and ears when our eyes met.

I fully thought he would go to someone else, for which I would have been very grateful. Of course, every time I see him I remember that awkward moment we had earlier! Then here's the image of his giant mushroom in my mind. I even swallowed one after another when I turned my gaze to the middle of his legs, I wouldn't even have looked away if I hadn't heard the successive tastings.

I simply removed my gaze from the middle of her thighs and tried to turn it to her face in case of angina! Now that I'm looking at his head, I'm imagining something else! Justin and I in a room and –

"D amn! Joanna, will you f ucking stop day dreaming of me? Its working hours." Justin ordered me authoritatively. My nose twitched at what he said.

But even though I bit my lower lip, I might not have been able to stop myself if I asked him how he knew that I was daydreaming about him? I immediately shook my head and then looked away from him and then answered.

"Take your things, we're going to visit Site four." He said to me and when I looked at him again he had his back to me while walking out of the office. Site four? Where is that? Hey, I don't know, just follow it and maybe that bastard will leave me!

I got into Justin's car again and like yesterday, he made me sit in the shotgun seat again before we even left Smith House. I even got a taste of his sermon because I thought I was going to ride in the passenger seat behind me.

"What the f uck Joanna! I am not your gooddam n driver! Move out your pretty a$s there and seat here!" And then he pointed to the shotgun seat. That's why now we're on the way to Site four wherever it goes, I'm frowning.

It's really good and the site he mentioned is quite close to our office, which is why our trip only took a few minutes. When he finally parked his car in a wide lot, I immediately got out of the car and looked around the whole place.

Many construction workers are busy with their work, there are also large types of vehicles that are used in building construction. My fellow workers who looked at our behavior and I couldn't help but wonder, why did Katastrophe lend me a skirt again but it looks like a mini-skirt for a party and not for the office. Geez!

Someone murmured while looking at me and I could do nothing but look away. I'm not used to being the center of attraction, especially for men. Suddenly I feel like I want to go back inside Justin's car and pretend I'm sick. If only those little people could look at it! I'm like food they want to eat! Gulf. Gulf. Gulf. And that's how I was surprised by –

"What are you looking at?! Go back to work! D is!" Justin's English was perfect while he was looking at the workers and when I turned to them again, they were no longer paying attention to me, they were all busy with their own work again.

I turned to look at Justin, he was looking at me badly, he wasn't satisfied yet and he looked at me from head to toe and then he frowned at me. My nose continued to sneeze. What did I do?!

"Let's go, I have an urgent matter here with Engineer Lopez." And then he turned and started walking. Of course, I immediately followed him when he stopped, of course I didn't expect that so my face bumped into his back.

"Damn it! Your back is so stiff Justin." It was too late that I realized what I said. I bit my lower lip and held my breath as he slowly started harping on me.

There was no emotion on his face, which made me even more nervous until –

"I am your Boss, Miss Cruz so treat me like one." Then then next thing I knew he was too far away from me. He was already talking to the workers he scolded earlier while I was still stuck where I was standing. How is it that he really emphasized the fact that he said 'Miss' and my last name.

Chapter 4

Due to Ero's intense aura, the people who were supposed to ride the elevator with us stopped in their tracks, leaving only the two of us inside.

"Ero, please answer me," I said to him. "What's going on again? Why are you so angry? And I thought we were going to have dinner? Where are we going?" I bombarded him with questions. He pressed the letter 'P' in the elevator. Does P stand for penthouse? Is that right?

"Kendall, for once," he spoke softly, "please shut up." His voice sounded deep and threatening when he said that. Ugh! Why does he always want to silence me? I need to go home, and Jacobo might be waiting for me. Instead of keeping quiet, I retorted.

"If you want silence, then take me home. Jacobo is waiting for me—" he cut me off, and my eyes widened when I felt his lips on mine. He pressed me against the elevator wall and grabbed my hands as I tried to push him away.

His kisses were rough, and I hated it! I gasped when he suddenly bit my lower lip, causing it to bleed. It hurt!

He forcefully entered his tongue into my mouth and explored every corner. He even sucked on my tongue and tried to play with it, but I shook my head to break free from his kiss. However, he used his free hand and placed it on my waist to restrain my head from moving and protesting against his kisses.

He continued doing that until the elevator suddenly made a sound, indicating that we had arrived at the penthouse. As he moved away from me, tears streamed down my face. Jacobo was the only person who had ever kissed me in my entire life, and he had never forced me to do it. All I felt towards Ero was anger and fear for what he did to me.

He really is a heartless monster, especially with his insistence on kissing me even when I strongly opposed it. Doesn't he have any conscience? I lowered my head and bit my lower lip, even though it hurt from the earlier injury, just to suppress my sobs while my tears continued to flow.

It seemed like he didn't notice my tears because he kept pulling me towards him until we stood in front of double doors. He took something from his pocket and used a card to open the door.

I was about to discreetly wipe away my tears because he had his back to me, but before I could do that, he turned to face me and froze when he saw my tear-stained face.

"Kendall..." he called me softly. I couldn't look directly at him and swallowed repeatedly to stop myself from crying. However, tears still fell from my eyes when he suddenly pulled me closer and hugged me tightly.

It felt so nice to be in Ero's arms. Gosh! Despite making me cry and all, I still liked his embrace, and I could feel my heart pounding crazily again.

I think I have a heart problem; it always goes haywire whenever Ero is near me.

"Don't you like the food?" Ero asked me. He really didn't send me home. Yes, he allowed me to stay, but he didn't even apologize, and now he's acting like nothing happened.

He even had Italian food delivered for dinner, but I couldn't eat. I just kept poking the carbonara on my plate with the fork. I didn't answer; I avoided looking at him too. It's because he keeps giving me strange looks.

I heard him sigh, and the next thing I knew, he was carrying me. "Ero, put me down. Where are you taking me?" I asked him, but he didn't answer. He just kept walking straight until he entered a doorless room.

It was a black and white room with a king-size bed, and he placed me in the middle of the bed. I lay there while he sat on the edge, staring at me. I sat up and was about to question him, but I couldn't help feeling uneasy about our situation.

And I also couldn't help but think about sexual things. Gosh! What am I saying? Maybe I've been infected by Ero's madness!

I was about to say something to him when his phone suddenly rang, interrupting me. He showed me his phone screen, and it was his mom calling. He quickly left the room to answer the call.

Ero took quite a long time, and when I looked at my wristwatch again, it was already 8:30 PM! Shocks! Jacobo must have been waiting for me at home for sure. So I left the room and looked for Ero. It seemed like he was still on the phone with his mom.

"Mom, don't worry. Dad will go home tonight. Just wait for him." That's what I heard Ero say. He was in the kitchen, far from the main door. This is my chance to escape! I slowly opened the main door and quietly stepped out.

Fortunately, there were taxis waiting in front of the hotel, so I didn't have any trouble getting one. Before the taxi left, I glanced at the hotel entrance and saw Ero looking at the taxi I was in with a serious expression.

I grabbed my chest, feeling a strange and rapid heartbeat, but this time in a painful way. I looked away and told the driver to continue.

My shoulders slumped as soon as I saw how dark my entire house was. Wasn't Jacobo here? Or maybe he left when he saw no one at home. Sigh. Why do I always run out of battery every day?!

It's frustrating! On the way home, I still couldn't contact him. Jacobo has his own key to my house, and when he arrives before me, my whole house is already illuminated. But now, it's so dark.

I felt around for the main light switch to brighten up my house, and my eyes widened when I saw so many balloons floating inside, along with various colors of roses hanging everywhere.

I smiled slowly as Jacobo descended the stairs with his perfect smile. He was still wearing his office attire, and I really loved it when he wore that because I felt like his true wife, and he was coming home to me.

I quickly approached him and hugged him tightly. "I miss you so much, Hon." He hugged me back and kissed the top of my head. "I miss you more, Hon." I smiled as he called me 'Hon'.

"So, you like my surprise?" I broke free from the hug and looked around my house. Balloons were everywhere, and there were scattered red rose petals on the floor. I faced him and pouted.

"What?" he asked in surprise. "Oh, Hon! I'll be the one to clean up these petals on the floor." He laughed at my response.

"Psh. I thought it was something serious. Don't worry, I told my wife that I'll be working overtime at the office, and I'll go home tomorrow. If you want, I can help you clean up."

I immediately hugged him tightly and then stood on my tiptoes to kiss his left cheek. Jacobo really cares for me, and I'm so thankful to God that I met him. He cares for me more than anything or anyone else in this whole wide world.

"Thank you, Hon. I love you so much."

"I love you too, Hon. You know that, right?" I nodded. "And happy sixth-month anniversary." And he kissed my forehead. "Happy sixth-month anniversary, Hon." I said sadly. I clenched my fist, feeling the pain of knowing that I couldn't give him a gift.

I didn't have time to buy a gift for him as I waited for a long time at the airport. My plan was to cook pasta first, and then I would buy my gift for him on our sixth-month anniversary. But everything went wrong, and he ended up surprising me, even though I know how busy he is. "Sorry, Hon, I don't have a gift for you." I bit my lower lip because I felt like crying, but it hurt due to the earlier injury.

"Ouch!" "Hey, do you have a wound?" Jacobo asked me. Fear consumed me. I felt like I was cheating on Jacobo because I kissed Ero, and due to his rough kiss, I had a wound on my lips.

I'm scared! What if Jacobo finds out about what happened between me and Ero? What if he doesn't listen to my explanation? What if he doesn't believe that I was blackmailed by Ero? What if he leaves me? I can't handle that!

"Ken, what's wrong? It seems like you're thinking deeply." That interrupted my thoughts. I clenched my fists and forced myself to smile.

"I'm sorry, Jacobo, if only I could tell you everything, but I'm afraid you'll leave me like Mommy and Daddy left each other for their respective families. I love you so much, and I don't know what will happen to me if you leave."

"N-nevermind, I just bit myself earlier." He sighed and patted my head. "Be careful, Hon. I don't want you to get hurt." I tried to smile at him and nodded. "Let's eat?" he invited me.

"You cooked?" I asked in disbelief. "Yes. I arrived here at 4 PM, but you weren't here. I really wanted to help you cook pasta, but since you weren't here earlier, I ended up cooking it myself. Where did you go, anyway?"

My heart suddenly went wild with anxiety. What should I tell him? I couldn't say that I was at the airport waiting for a long time. I was about to answer when his phone suddenly rang.

It's his wife. He showed me his phone screen. I just nodded and went straight to the dining room. I didn't want to hear their conversation. I felt jealous and annoyed!

-The next day-

"W-what are you doing here?" I asked him. He looks different! Yes, he still had his clean-cut hairstyle, but now he had a stubble and a beard. He was wearing a dark blue leather jacket and a fitted shirt inside, paired with skinny jeans and combat boots. He didn't answer me; instead, he effortlessly pushed me inside and locked the main door.

"Ero, seriously! Why are you here? What do you want?" I asked him, and even though I was somewhat nervous about his actions, I tried to act tough.

"You," he answered seriously. My forehead creased. What did he mean by 'you'? I didn't get him.

I was about to ask him when he suddenly grabbed me and pinned me against the back of the door. The next thing I knew, he was holding the back of my head and started kissing me roughly!
