ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH?
[ Wattpad Version Complete Chapters ] [ COMPLETE ] [ Can be read as stand-alone ] ••• SPG R18+ Damn closure. It only adds salt to the wound. Why have one when you can just run away? That's what Lily Celeste Marlon did to Jared Guillermo, a psychology doctorate student she met in Belgium. She just ran away from him without a word, without any explanations or goodbyes. Years later, she least expected to find the man she ghosted in a sex club she frequently goes to-The Org. At first, she just wanted him to stay out of The Org, to save the decent man she loved from becoming a soulless sexual predator like she had been; and to keep him out of her life forever. Pero sino ba ang niloloko niya? Damn. She wanted him back in her life. She wanted his love. She wanted him again. Lily would pull every string and every trick she knew, just to make sure she'd have him in her arms again! If she can manage to hide the truth from him, like the reason why she ghosted him, then maybe... Maybe she can keep him all to herself forever. Maybe Jared will rethink their connection and decide to be with her forever... Lily just could not tell why she ghosted him because it's too scary for her to take risks just to know if Jared is man enough to take all the revelations... or if he will just take it as the closure that he needs from her. © anathecowgirl 2021Complete
