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!

Chapter 5

"Hey! Why are you crying so much? You've been crying for a while now? It's good that your body hasn't run out of tears yet!" Ryleigh looked at me but I just answered him, I actually made him stronger.

He grimaced at what I did and then shook his head one after another and went straight into the bathroom. I evaporated on the handkerchief on my table because my nose was already flooding with water, when suddenly Ryleigh came out of the bathroom again.

"I forgot my towel." And then he turned to me again and I even rolled his eyes when he looked at me while I was holding the handkerchief.

"Sadie! That's a table wipe, not a cigarette." That's why it smells a bit like me! In my annoyance, I screamed loudly! The fool laughed at me and mumbled more but I listened.

"It's also a question sometimes." I didn't pay attention to him at all, he went into the bathroom completely. Because Ryleigh's work is late at night, that's why I'll be sleeping alone here today, which is fine with me. I feel like emoting right now, because my heart hurts!

I collapsed on my bed and stared at the ceiling but it didn't last long because I suddenly remembered the kissing scene between Kayden and Sienna!

I won't be jealous so that they don't miss my relationship! No friends kiss right?!

Once again, the tears started to flow even though I wanted to stop them, but they seemed to be my own thoughts because they still did not stop flowing from my eyes, my eyes hurt so much that I would cry. For sure tomorrow it will swell and cry!

"Are you okay Miss Dela Merced?" Why is it that every time Kayden calls me Miss Dela Merced I feel like what he said is my sarcasm.

I nodded at his question and also asked him without looking at him.

"Do I need you, Sir?" I gave him a lifeless answer. Another minute passed but I still didn't get an answer from him so I looked up, so our eyes met and here is my heart again, it's so pounding, last night I was bleeding because Kayden kissed another woman,

then now the pulse is fast again for him, it is losing again and wants to come out of my rib cage.

Ryleigh is really good and complete with make up and I can use it any time. That's why swollen eyes can be hidden with eye-shadow and concealer. Kayden and I stared at each other for a few minutes and I really don't like that strange feeling when our eyes meet, so I was the one who avoided looking at first.

I did it when I was busy typing on the computer in front of me. until I heard him sigh and walk away from my working table. I just breathed a sigh of relief. It's good to leave.

As instructed by Mrs. Ganley when lunchtime came I ordered food from Kayden. When it arrived, I requested the delivery boy to bring it into Kayden's office, fortunately he agreed.

I don't want to be with Kayden, my heart hurts and it just thrills at the same time. And then I decided to go down to the canteen to eat lunch.

"Hi! Is it okay to see?" Suddenly my eyes were raised by my man who spoke in front of me. His suit and tie clothes first appeared to me followed by the plate he was holding until I finally saw his face. I swallowed one after another.

Bess the pogi! And even more those flabby hormones disappeared when he smiled at me. I nodded involuntarily. He thanked me and smiled again. I feel like I'm full just from his smile. Chaarr!

"I'm Kyle nice to meet you." Suddenly he introduced himself to me. I looked up at him again and there was his million-dollar smile again. I bit my lower lip and then nodded.

"I just saw you here. Are you new? ...and what's your name?" He asked one question after another. It's good that I'm full and pretending to eat more. Because it only took fifteen minutes when it comes to eating, I have a one-hour break. I don't want to go back to the office and Justin is there.

"Sadie. Nice to meet you Kyle." I didn't want to look rude so I smiled at him... even if it was just trying. "Because I'm new here. I just started on Monday, I'm in my CEO office."

"Oh, you are Sir Kayden's new secretary." I nodded to what he said, I even wanted to add that "I am also his wife." But of course it's not possible! Kayden is no longer my husband, just an employee.

"It's good that Miss Sienna agreed that her new secretary is almost the same age as Sir Kyle." Kyle said strangely and I frowned. What does he mean?

Because I was so curious, I couldn't help but ask.

"What does Sienna – this M-ma'am Sienna have to do with S-Sir's secretary?" It seems that Kyle just slipped in what he said that's why he shook his head one after another.

"Nothing. Nothing, just ignore what I said." Urgggh! If this guy and I were close, I would really tease him! Only ten minutes before the end of my break, I said goodbye to Kyle.

My friends and I were talking so I didn't notice the time.

Just like they are the same age as Kyle. They are three years older than me. So, he is thirty-two while I am twenty-eight. He's even after me before I'm completely removed.

"Let's have lunch together again tomorrow, right?" I just smiled and nodded. When I got back to the office, I noticed that Kayden's office door was slightly ajar.

I even wished again and again that I would never catch him naked again! And thank God because he listened to my wish, I didn't see Kayden naked but I did see him sitting on his swivel chair, while my girl was sitting on his lap and their faces were close together. It's obvious they're kissing!

Like I said, Sienna is my best friend, so even though I can't see the face of the girl he kissed, I'm sure it's Sienna! I just covered my mouth with my hands after a series of tears.

It seems that they didn't notice what was done when I peeked at them because I still heard a series of grunts from inside Kayden's office. Looks like they're not just kissing now.

If I only had my money, I would have asked Kayden for annulment. But it's so expensive, I can't afford it.

Until I didn't realize that I was sleeping like I was crying. But I wouldn't have woken up before I heard Lenita's shrill voice.

"Sadie! Kayden isn't paying you here just to sleep." He looked at me rudely.

When I looked up, he was right in front of me and Justin was behind him who was also looking at me, with just a poker face.

"Sorry ma'am, it won't happen again." I answered him. He made me suffer.

"Kayden will drop me off at the parking lot for a while! Maybe you'll get some sleep later while he's gone, huh?!" I just looked down and didn't answer. I feel the pain in my heart. what date is it today?

It looks like I'm still here, I don't have a napkin with me yet!

After Kayden and Sienna left the office, I went to the bathroom. Fortunately, I didn't have to leave the thirty-three floor because Justin's office is my own bathroom.

And I confirmed that I did have a seizure when I saw those panties. I just sat on the toilet bowl and then sighed.

My stomach hurts so much and I don't know anyone here in the office that I have contact with, so I wish I could ask for a favor to buy me a napkin. Sigh.

It looks like I have no choice but to endure the pain in my stomach so I can go out and buy a napkin, but I'll wait for Justin to come back first. He might scold me this time when he catches me out of the office.

Chapter 6

Kayden took Sienna to the parking lot but it took him forever! What's even more annoying is that I didn't have a jacket to cover my back, because I was wearing a jacket to wait for him! Son of a lamb!

"S-Sir..." Haist! When will I get used to calling Kayden 'Sir'? Looks like it will take a while. He looked at me but didn't answer. I bit my lower lip. I don't know how to tell him! Shame! Of course, it's a girl thing!

Hey, it's up to Batman instead of me being full of tags here!

"Can you come out?" I asked him hesitantly. He frowned and turned his full attention to me.

"Why?" He asked me rudely. He said that and he will ask me why. In terms of its working hours.

"Uhhmm... what's the matter, uhh..." Eish! I can't tell! Shame! "Uhmm..."

"What Sadie? I don't have time for your hits!" Kayden said rudely to me which annoyed me. I'm fine talking to him! But he's still mean to me! Whereas when it's Sienna, she's sweet?! It's crazy! I'm his wife!

"I'm just going to buy a napkin! I have a lot of penetration!" I said angrily to him. I even looked at him, a minute passed but I didn't get an answer from him so I spoke again.

"What will you allow me or not?!" And that's when he seemed to come to his senses, the tone of his voice was cold and gruff when he yelled at me.

"Fine." I didn't answer and was about to walk straight out when Kayden suddenly grabbed my hand, which I accepted! What else do you need? I looked at him again.

"What? I'm going to buy you? I'm going to order you while I'm out?" I'm still a little annoyed to ask him. I looked at him again.

"What? I'm going to buy you? I'm going to order you while I'm out?" I'm still a little annoyed to ask him. Of course, time is gold! But I'll be in a hurry, it might be full of see-through clothes if it's the bottom.

"You have blood stains on your skirt." Kayden said to me seriously and his face went back to being a poker face. This is what I'm saying! Shame!

With the many times I've unintentionally embarrassed myself with Justin, this is the worst! I bit my lower lip. I don't know what to answer!

I really want to blame him for giving me a lot of penetration! Maybe I was right in my suspicion that they were still flirting with Sienna, that's why it took so long for her to come back! And maybe I should remind him of the saying that time is gold!

So, treasure your time and go back right away to our office because I'm waiting for you! It's not my time to flirt with your girlfriend while your husband is waiting here! Cheers!

Maybe Justin will mistake me for a crazy feelinger when I say that. And then I don't have the courage and maybe he left me seven years ago because of Sienna. I haven't heard from that girl since Justin left me.

When Ryleigh and I need them, he's absent, but it's a good thing they're my two best friends.

"I can't let you go, looking like that." He said softly that it was just right for me to hear. I just pretended I didn't hear what he said. I wish I had just shown up to his secret back then maybe things would have changed and he wouldn't have left me for no reason and maybe instead of him and Lenita being together now it would be us... I hope.

But of course, what happened happened. The past cannot be brought back.

"Stay here and I'll buy it for you." Then the next thing I knew, I was looking at Kayden's back and he was on his way to buy me some pads. Sigh. What are you really doing Kayden? One moment, you were cold and mean to me, then the next thing I knew, you were making sweet gestures that thrilled me.

Hope you're stupid too!

"Why is it so much?" I asked Kayden in shock. It's hard for me to thank him, I couldn't do what he did to surprise me. He put three large paper bags on my working table that were filled with napkins of different brands.

"I don't have any idea what brand are you using so, I bought everything." He answered me and then he scratched the back of his neck. I bit my bottom lip to stop myself from smiling. I'm getting excited again by this guy! I just avoided looking at him.

"Any brand is okay." Weak to say to him. "Uhh... thank you for this." I answered him and then I excused myself to him.

He nodded and went back to his office while I went straight to the bathroom.

When it came time to go home, I was restless, not because I was going home. But because of the size of my problem, of course it's not just my undies that didn't penetrate before, right? Also my skirt and what's even more annoying is that Kayden saw it. Sigh. Shame!

And I will be even more embarrassed now because many people will see my penetration. Huh! Timing timing I don't have a load yet! There is a phone here but I can't call Ryleigh because that line is only exclusive for calling and answering the company concern. Lamb! When you are lucky.

Why can't you call me Kayden, right? He bought me a napkin! That's right. He might even say that I am abusing.

I looked at my bag again and again, maybe it could have been closed behind me, right?

Of course, before I entered the battle, I tried it first. Fortunately, my reflection on the glass walls is quite obvious now. So I'll see if I'm still effective covering the bag or not. I was even shocked to see how sparse my penetration was! There are small ones and there are big ones. Sigh.

When I covered my bag, it was too small to cover everything that was scattered. Then I sat hopelessly back at my working station. I have no other choice but to wait for it to get dark so that my penetration is no longer visible. Why did I decide to wear a light skirt just now? Sigh.

Since I still have a lot of work left and I thought yesterday that since my working hours are over, I have no choice but to continue that's it. Why am I just staring at it while waiting for it to get dark, right?

With so much work left for tomorrow, I didn't notice the time, but before Kayden came out, I couldn't even glance at the watch on my arm. I was even surprised to see that it was ten PM. Kayden even looked at me, it looks like I surprised him too because I'm still here. I don't know if I should smile at him or not.

The last time I smiled at him, he just gasped, didn't he? Hmm!

"What are you doing here still?" Kayden asked me without emotion.

"Uhh... it's just overtime. I still have as much work left." I answered him. Of course, I didn't include the main reason why I couldn't leave here at five PM. As usual, Justin took a long time before answering, then his answer turned out to be just a nod and he once again stared at me as if to make me conscious again. So I pretended to be busy typing and focused on the computer again.

"Are you done?" Kayden asked me later. I bit my bottom lip as I nodded. Kayden asked me huskily. I swallowed one after the other because I felt like my throat was burning, I remembered how silly Kayden's husky voice was. When... the first night of our marriage. Dang!

"Let's go home Sadie. It's getting late." He added. This time, because my computer shut down completely, I nodded and then I took my bag and blocked it behind me. I heard him take a breath that I don't know what it was for. I just ignored it, maybe he was stressed at work.

But I was so surprised when I felt Kayden on my back. Our bodies are very close.

Suddenly I became constipated again. The butterflies also moved to their homes inside my tummy. My heart is no longer in my rib cage! Justin just back-hugs me! Oh my! What is this nonsense Kayden?! Why are you suddenly hugging? I can even feel his breathing on the side of my neck.
