We fell on my bed after a heated s*x. He dozed off immediately while I stared at him in wonders. I had no idea of what was going on with me, but itwas strange.How was it possible that we had a big fight earlier but ended up having s*x?My heart suddenly started racing immediately as I watched him sleeping.He looked so adorable, and I couldn’t withhold the urge to play with hishair.I caressed his face softly, digging my hands into his head and closing myeyes in satisfaction. I was excited and fulfilled, and the cause of that was what I had no idea of.Did I love him?A cold wave hit me at that point, prompting sudden goosebumps to makeway to my skin. I clutched my chest, listening to the rhythm of my heart and how it kept beating furiously.I loved him!“What the hell”, I muttered under my breath as I looked at him again,gulping down hard and wiping sweats off my forehead.This had to be the craziest thing I’ve ever experienced in my entire life. I had a one-night stand with my cruel boss and finally ended up living with him because I got pregnant. And now, I was falling in love with him?My mind drifted off to thoughts of the day I had told him I was pregnant.The way he looked at me with disgust caused cold shivers to run down myspine The only thing I could think of was how he hated me with everythingin him.And now, I was in love with him?I quickly stood up and walked over to the balcony, breathing heavily andstruggling to keep my emotions at bay.What if he didn’t love me? What if I’m just a tool for his sexualsatisfaction? What if he would never look at me with love in his eyes?These and more were the questions I had in my heart. Unknowingly, tearsdropped out of my eyes, but I wiped them off as fast as they dropped.After a while, he stirred and stood up, looking around and trying to figure out where he was. He saw me sitting on the balcony but didn’t say a wordto me.He only let out a deep hiss, after which he walked out of the room, leavingme in my world of confusion.My heart sank into despair. My head ached, and more tears poured out of my eyes. It was quite obvious that he would never feel the same way I did.After a while of being in a pensive mood, I finally decided to let it go and focus on myself. I was only here because of the baby, and that was all…***It was now three months since I started living with Daniel. We lived in our separate worlds, only bumping into each other mistakenly. I missed him badly, but figured out that it would be best to stay away from him, since hedidn’t love me.I had just finished having lunch when I felt the strong urge to explore themansion. It’s been a small thought in my head, but I always kept it awaybecause I would rather not move around as though I were his wife orgirlfriend.This afternoon, though, it hit differently, and it didn’t take long before I sawmyself walking around the different hallways in the mansion.It was massive, with walls made of marbles and fine paintings. Likewise, it was brightly lit, with different colors that cast a very relaxing mood. Asmall smile was on my face as I looked around and met an artifact somewhere at the end of the hallway.It looked ancient and beautiful. I wondered where he got it from since I’ve never seen or heard of such. Finally, I got to his room, positioned in the most beautiful part of the mansion. My heart beat accelerated as I clicked the door knob, wondering if it would be open.To my utmost surprise, his room was opened. I figured out that he must have forgotten to lock it since he was rushing earlier. “Okay! Let’s do this”, I took in a deep breath and closed my eyes in a bid toget myself, ready for what I was about to do.It didn’t sound right. As a matter of fact, he could even punish me for fortrespassing and infringement of his privacy. I knew all of this, but didn’tfeel the need to stop the quest. The moment I walked into the room, his familiar cologne hit my nostrilsand my stomach swirled in excitement. The scent came with various memories, but the most vivid were the ones where things got heated between us.I smiled sheepishly and walked around the room, admiring the beautiful furnishings and wall art. Just then, I decided to figure out a means to know a little bit about him. The only part of Daniel I knew was the fact that hewas a successful businessman who was cruel and bent on being at the top,no matter what.There was more to his life, I could feel it…I drew open the drawers, settling my eyes on a picture album that came intoview. Hastily, I opened it, looking behind me to be sure that no one was looking at me.And then, I saw a diary. At first, I was taken aback by the fact that he owns a diary. Never did I take him as a man who would keep a diary or pen downthoughts. My eyes got engrossed in it as I read through every chapter and line. Mosttimes, I wore smiles and other times, the information I found made myfrown.Apparently, it’s been his utmost desire to have an heir who he can hand hisbusiness to before he retires at age sixty.A wave of realization hit me as I drifted off into a long rail of thoughts.
