Chapter 1
Chapter 1
It's been 6 long years...
But the past is still fresh in her memory.
Those long nights always haunted her dreams.
The past that she tried to forget is now coming back.
Her past is now in front of her!
He still looks gorgeous and dangerously handsome.
She is in a meeting for the merger of their company.
Never did she think that he is the CEO.
The meeting has ended, but she didn't understand a single word of the discussion.
She stood up last and let all the people go out first.
She is taken by surprise when someone suddenly talks behind her back.
"Where have you been all these years?" he asked.
Hearing his voice again, create an unexplainable feeling.
But she didn't mind him and continued to walk.
"Playing blind and deaf, my love..."
Upon hearing what he said, memories came back flashing in.
Those memories that she keeps inside and has been buried for a long time.
He blocks her way. And she has no choice but to talk to him.
"Excuse me, Mr.Vergara. You are blocking my way," she said.
But he just laugh!
That laughter that she longs to hear...
"You left without saying goodbye, and that's all you can say?" he asked.
His voice is full of resentment!
She looks at the door, hoping for someone to enter.
But he slammed the door and locked it!
Destiny is playing her life again.
Of all the people he could encounter, Why Lance?
"Mr. Vergara, I don't have time for this. What are you talking about? " she innocently asked.
But Lance's handsome face got even angrier!
"Pretending not to know? Nathalie," he said her name.
"After 6 years, I finally know your name!" he shouted angrily.
Her heart skips, hearing her name in his voice.
They both have their own life now.
It's useless to remember all those memories!
"I need to go home. So please, excuse me," she walks away but when she is about to open the door, Lance hugs her tightly.
She tried to let go, but he is so strong. He can smell the fresh mint on Lance's breath.
"I miss you..." he said gently.
Did she miss him?
Lance surprisingly kiss her and she lost her control and kiss him back with longing.
Nathalie, this is not right!
Her conscience will not stop reminding her to do what is right.
He pushed Lance and slap his face.
"Please, don't do this again." She forcefully let go of her body from Lance's embrace.
Lance was surprised and angry at what she did.
Next time, he will surely hold her tight and never let her go!
She finally went out of the meeting room. Walking as if nothing happened. When she entered the elevator. Her knees finally gave up.
Will she last in here? Or will she go back to France?
But her Daddy is sick, and she is the only heiress of their company.
She cannot leave him.
She did so many mistakes in the past when she is young.
She wants to return the favor to her Dad by managing their company.
She just needs to avoid Lance.
Yeah right, as much as possible! She encourages herself.
The next day, she stayed at home.
She only sent her secretary to monitor the company to give her some possible news if ever there's a problem that may arise when she is on leave.
And she wanted to avoid Lance too.
But that man is a pain in her head.
He even went to their house pretending to visit her sick Dad.
He will never give her peace of mind!
She locked herself in the room until she heard someone knocking.
"Miss Nathalie are you there?" he asked.
He is here!
She did not answer but he will never surrender.
Knocking on her door again and again. And it's noisy to hear.
She decided to open the door and there he is, smiling so sweetly.
"Finally, you come out." He greets her with a wink.
And her heart flutters a bit!
"Don't worry, I'm just here for your signature only," he said showing her some paperwork.
That's all the reason why he went in here?
Why Nathalie, is there more?
Are you expecting something?
Erase that scene on your dirty mind!
"Are you okay? You seem out of your mind. Maybe you're thinking of me? " he's trying hard to be cute.
"Excuse me! I'm thinking about business. " she denied.
Lance suddenly went inside her room and closed the door.
He is a walking temptation!
"What are you doing? Get out! The maids might see you here. " she pushes him away.
Lance just smirked at her and sit down on her bed.
Enticing her to sit down next to him.
But that was a mistake 6 years ago. She was ashamed of what happened in the past, but she did not regret what happened between the two of them.
"Please sign these papers, Ms. Nathalie. " he is still smiling while giving the documents to her.
He is tempting her again...
Would she give in?
No, Nathalie. This is wrong!
She takes the papers and was surprised when Lance pulled her into his embrace and they fall on her bed.
Her, being on top of him!
She can finally see, the face that haunted her dreams over those years...
Now, she remembered. She regretted leaving him...
But, it's all useless. He is engaged and she is already married.
They will only both play a fire, if it will continue.
Until she can control herself, she will, and will not give Lance the satisfaction of doing an act that they might both regret later.
She released from his grip and tried to stand up.
But Lance would not let go of his embrace.
"I miss you so much. All those years, I've been looking for you. I felt like I'm going crazy! Waking up without you by my side. You left without even saying goodbye. Why?" he asked while intensely staring at her.
She is controlling herself not to give in.
And avoided his intense gaze.
Lance touches her face gently and she didn't know what to do but to close her eyes!
"I miss this face, this body, I miss the whole you..." Lance's voice is very gentle.
She opened her eyes, looking at his handsome face.
She can feel his warmness again...
And can finally touch him after all these years, but it's too late!
"Lance, we are not meant with each other. It's all in the past, so let's forget all of it. " Lance's face turns sour.
"I don't care! You can forget all about it?" he asked painfully.
No, But I need to...
She said.
"Yes, it's just a one-night mistake. There's no special about it, a one-night stand and that's how it is." she answer but her heart is saying, " It was never a mistake."
"Fine, forget it. But I will not. I will forever be your shadow wherever you go," he answered with determination.
She wanted to say, that no need for him to do it.

“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display.

He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.

My neurons are frying with the confusing feeling in my brain. Torn between pleasure, fear, and panic. I couldn't utter a single sentence to save my life.
His cold eyes pinned me in place while he plundered my body with deep thrusts, which only added to my confusion. My dumb body mistook the mixed signals, my pussy becoming even wetter than before.
“I hope she'd paid you well, because I'm going to fuck you all night long, hard,” he growled. “Sleep, then do it all over again. I want to feel you come for me, Andrea, want to feel you squeeze my cock, milking me.
Begging for me to give you the high only I can, I'm going to fucked you until I fuck all my wife's money's worth, I want you to remember how hard I took you while you're meeting her.” I sobbed, moaned, and tried to scramble out under him.

The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...
