"Did you wake up early?" Sean asked me as soon as he woke up.
I slept beside Lemon last night. I couldn't bear sleeping with Sean after what he just muttered.
I didn't reply.
I don't even understand why I am feeling this way. It's so pathetic!
Like I care if he still loves his ex-girlfriend.
But still, he kept confessing his love to me! It's so confusing.
"Hey, darling, what's—"
"Could you stop calling me that? It's so annoying," I unintentionally yelled.
This doesn't feel like me. My parents didn't raise me to just yell at anyone for no reason.
"Oh, is it your time of the month? I'm so sorry. I'll go buy you pads. Do you use tampons? What do you want to eat? Pizza? Chocolate?" he asked.
His voice made me infuriated. I just don't want to hear him talk to me for a while.
"Yes, it's that time of the month. Please don't talk to me first because your voice an

"Let's have a deal, miss Myrtle. Be my wife, and I'll give you the money you need," I told this young lady who is on her knees in front of me, begging me to lend her fifty billion dollars. She glanced at me with that beautiful face of hers. Her shining black eyes, almond face, brown soft wavy hair, and plump lips. "I can't marry you! I barely even know you!" she screamed while tears flowed from her eyes.I held her and lowered my body to hers. My face is just one inch apart from hers. "Will you risk the death of your mom and your college? Or will you marry me, and I'll assure you and your family a comfortable life?" I muttered and smirked at her. She looked at me and cried, "Fine, mister Sean, I'll marry you. But remember, this is just a deal." I stood up and smiled. "Should we get the wedding started tomorrow?" I asked.

[Myrtles Point of View] "No... Mom!" I screamed on top of my lungs as I watched my mom being delivered to the emergency room. She had sudden cardiac arrest earlier when we were having dinner. Everything was fine, then she started to gasp for air. I sat at the bench outside of the emergency room and cried. Mom can't die yet. I'm not yet a doctor. We're just a poor family of farmers near the countryside, not prosperous but definitely happy. One of the challenges we face is when one of us gets sick. We don't have enough money to pay for hospital bills, even for a check-up. That's why I want to be a doctor. A doctor for the poor.

[ Myrtle's Point of View ] I couldn't move, he was so close to me! But, our position is... What the freak? I bumped my forehead to his head, and he winced in pain. Haha! Good thing I always do that to my older brother. So, this is not a dream? I rushed to grab the blanket I dropped on the floor and covered my body again. What have I done? "Hey! Why am I here?" I screamed at the man sitting on the bed while I was at the corner, hiding. "Well, I saw you sleeping on the hospital bench, so I had no choice but

[ Myrtle's Point of View ] Sean went back to the car, holding two waffles in one hand and two drinks on the other. "Here you go, eat up," he said and handed me a strawberry waffle and a milkshake. Oh my gosh, strawberries are my favorite! "Thanks," I replied. He went inside the car and started driving again. "Sorry if I ask, but what happened to your mom?" he asked ambivalently. I sighed and smiled. "Well, mom is such a strong woman, but yesterday, when we had all fun and happiness, she suddenly had a card

[ Myrtle's Point of View ]We gasped for air as our lips parted.For a few seconds, I got back to my senses."Oh, gosh," I muttered and covered my lips. What have I done?!"Uh... That... that wasn't supposed to happen. I mean, those were my hormones. I didn't do it on purpose. Trust me-"He placed his pointer finger on my lips as a sign to shut me up."Shh, do you want me to shut you up using my lips again?" he said and moved closer to me."Stop. I feel like this doesn't seem right," I said and turned away from him. I proceeded to the shade and hugged myself.

[ Myrtle's Point of View ] I woke up feeling a little bit cozy. Whenever I wake up at home, I immediately think exhausted, knowing that I will plow soil the whole day. But now, it's a whole different feeling. Last night, Sean and I ended up arguing about which is better, pizzas with pineapples on top or not? When I tasted the Hawaiian pizza, it was the best among the three. Probably the best among all the pizzas in the world. And pineapple is the best ingredient. Sean said he didn't want pineapples on his pizza and then, he started fighting me. But thank goodness, I woke up peacefully.

[ Myrtle's Point of View ] "Myrtle Piena Saragoza, you are grounded for a week." THIS MAN IS CRAZY! How dare he ground me? "Hey! I am not your property! Also, I need to work! My mom's bills need to be paid!" I screamed at him while he was wearing his suit, preparing to go to work. "You are staying in my condo, Myrtle. That makes you my property. So, don't you dare go out unless I told you so," he said and winked at me. IS HE TEASING ME? "By the way, your mom's bills at the hospital are paid," he added and went out. That left me in shock. So, did he pay for my mom's hospital bills?

Is your mother alright?" she asked again, and I nodded. I just nodded because I really don't know mom's condition right now.Actually, I was thinking about Sean. He really looked so concerned or something along those lines.If he really does have feelings for me, why? I mean, he barely even knows me.Geez, Myrtle, stop thinking about him."What did you and Yohan do yesterd

Myrtle's Point of ViewIt's been a week since Sean and I went on our honeymoon.After that, we barely even talked about anything because he was always at work.I wondered if I really loved him, would I be annoyed if my husband lost his time for me?Anyhow, it's not my problem anymore. I know his job isn't as easy as I think it is. It's probably more complicated than plowing the fields."Good morning, Myrtle. Are you alright?" I heard Lemon's voice.She was peeping through my door."Oh, come in," I told her.Immediately, she jumped into my bed."Hey! Don't be so naughty!" I yelled at her."So, what have you been thinking?" Lemon asked me and placed a cola-flavored lollipop in her mouth."None at all," I replied and laid down on my bed beside her.Sean mentioned before that he was planning on making me his secretary once we got married. I think he didn't take that seriously. Until now,

However, Sean is abruptly needed in their company."You sure you're going to come with me already? You can stay here for a few more days," Sean said as he wiped his wet hair. He just came out from the shower."No, I'll come home too," I replied.It's going to be embarrassing if I stayed here alone. Well, in fact, I don't own this resort or anything here.Everything is Sean's.Sean sighed and looked at me. He looked apologetic."I'm really sorry we have to go back immediately. If you want, I can cancel my schedules and—""Don't worry about it, Sean. It's fine, and I'm fine. There's nothing you should worry about." I smiled at him.He just nodded and smiled back at me.For the last time, I gazed my eyes around the place and let myself drown in its bea

/Myrtle's Point of View/I woke up earlier than Sean to roam around the place. I went outside barefoot and looked at the ocean through the shore.This place is heaven. I can't believe I'm actually experiencing going to a place like this.Thank goodness the staff lend me a shawl to cover my skin. I'm still wearing my nightgown since the extra shirts here are not yet dried.I let the cold breeze of air touch my skin and sighed. I can't believe I am actually married.Am I dreaming?Of course not."Good morning, beautiful. Why did you wake up so early?" I heard a voice from behind.I didn't look back because I knew the voice was from Sean. After a while, I felt his arms being wrapped around me."Hey, what are you doing?" I asked him in shock."Hugging you, obviously?" he replied in his deep, morning voice.I just sighed. I looked at the ocean and inhaled heavily."Do you like it here?" S

/Myrtle's Point of View/ We spent the night in our tiny abode. I wonder if Sean even slept well because I know he is not used to this setting. He slept on the wooden bench while my siblings, Papa, and I snuggled in the bed. The roosters' cock-a-doodle-doos woke me up. "Good morning, papa," I greeted Papa while brewing coffee. The aroma smelled so lovely. "Good morning, Myrtle," Papa said back. I glanced at my siblings, who were still cutely sleeping while their legs were tangled up with each other. I also glanced at Sean, but he was not at the bench. "Where's Sean?" I asked Papa. "Oh, he

/ Myrtle's Point of View /"Could you stop being such a brat?!" I yelled at Sean while he was driving our way to the province. He was teasing me while I was literally overthinking about my family."What are you so scared about? It's not like you're too young to get married. I am twenty, and you are nineteen. After all, this marriage is just a deal, right?""I know, but I couldn't help but think of my family's reaction. They will definitely get mad at me," I spoke like a literal child."I'm here with you, Myrtle. Don't worry about it," Sean assured me. I don't know, but I feel comforted every time he tells me not to worry about anything. His words are like coffee that soothes my soul."The we
