TYLER took the bottle of alcohol placed in front of him by the bartender and immediately drank from it. Ever since he left the mansion earlier, he had been driving without a clear direction. If he stayed there any longer, he might end up uttering foul words against his wife, something he tried to avoid as much as possible.But in the end, he decided to head to the bar he often visited whenever he wanted to be alone. While drinking, he couldn’t take his eyes off the cellphone he held in his other hand. He smiled bitterly as he scrolled through the pictures of him and Sabrina in his gallery, especially the ones from when they were newlyweds.The two of them looked so happy. But he never imagined that happiness would only be temporary.“Hey, do you want to have some fun?” A woman suddenly appeared beside him and caressed his arm. Ignoring her, he just took another sip from another bottle of alcohol.It was painful for him to discover earlier. He felt like he was left hanging because he w
SABRINA almost dropped the plate of fried rice in her hands due to her hurry to put it on the table. Tyler had just entered the dining room.“Hubby, have some food—”“I’m not hungry,” he interrupted, glancing briefly at his watch. “I need to leave. I have a meeting at eight in the morning.”Before she could say anything else, he quickly turned away and walked out. Sabrina’s gaze fell on the food now set on the table.It’s been a week since Tyler discovered she was taking pills. For that long, he had been distant and cold toward her. Even though they still slept side by side on the same bed, he wouldn’t even touch her or give her any attention.And it caused her heart to ache every single day.“Don’t be sad. If you want, I’ll join you for a meal. I guarantee everything is delicious.”She looked at Salome, who had a wide smile on her lips. She nodded, and they started eating. She even invited the other helpers to join them. Since she didn’t have any photo shoots or other schedules for t
TYLER paused in his work as the door of his office closed. Absentmindedly, he glanced at the lunch bag resting on top of his desk.Truth be told, he felt a mix of emotions when he saw his wife earlier. Especially since she came to his office to bring him lunch, which she cooked herself.Usually, it’s the other way around. He is the one who often goes to Sabrina’s workplace. He would either cook for her or bring her favorite food, especially during long shoots that extended into the evening.That’s why he couldn’t contain the joy in his heart because, for the first time, his wife did something like that for him. But no matter how hard he tried to be happy with everything she was doing to make amends, he still couldn’t avoid thinking about the fact that she still didn’t want to have children with him.As he put down the pen, his stomach growled. So he quickly reached for the lunch bag and opened it.He couldn’t help but smile upon seeing his favorite adobo. Even though his wife wasn’t t
SABRINA’S manager was left speechless because of what she disclosed. She had been contemplating that matter for almost two weeks, and earlier, she finally decided to dispose of all the stored pills she had. She no longer had any intention of taking them.“Are you really sure about your decision? Sabrina, you’re still young and at the peak of your career. If you get pregnant, you might lose your spark and everything you’ve worked for,” her manager whispered to her even though they were the only ones inside the dressing room.She took a deep breath and replied, “I am sure. I’ll stop taking the pills. If I get pregnant soon, then it’s okay with me. If I lose my spark at that time, I know I can still bring it back someday.”Her manager gently touched his forehead. “To be honest, I was against your decision to get married so quickly back then. But you didn’t hear that from me. After all, it’s your life, your choice. Even though you’re married, I still made an effort to find projects for yo
TYLER yawned as he watched his sleeping wife. It has been over two weeks since they reconciled, and he still felt like he was floating on cloud nine due to the lightness he felt in his heart.He planted a kiss on the top of her head before deciding to get up. It was already nine in the morning, and he needed to cook breakfast for both of them. He firmly instructed Salome that he would be the one to prepare their morning meal, especially on days when he didn’t have to work.He just shook his head and couldn’t help but smile as he remembered why they went to bed so late last night. The reason they stayed up and why he still feels tired.Honestly, he couldn’t fully understand himself either. He’s been insatiable in bed these past few days, even more than he already was. Perhaps he just wants to ensure that Sabrina gets pregnant.As he descended, he caught some of the household staff busy cleaning the living room. Salome greeted him with a smile and said, “Good morning, Sir Tyler.”“Good
SABRINA reached for Tyler’s hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. Her husband was frowning, and she didn’t want to leave him while he was still upset, especially since they had just recently reconciled.“Do you still really need to go to work? I can talk to your manager, even the other companies you’re contracted with. For sure, they’ll understand once they find out that you’re pregnant,” he said with a mixture of irritation and concern in his voice.She released a deep sigh. “I can still handle it, you know. Besides, I plan to finish my other pending commitments while my baby bump isn’t too noticeable yet. Once I’m done with everything, I’ll finally take a break. I’ll also talk to Jose about that later,” she assured him.At that moment, he turned to look at her. “Fine. But please be careful, okay?” He held her hand tightly, as if not wanting to let her go.“I will,” she replied. She leaned in and planted a tender kiss on his lips before finally saying goodbye and getting out of the car.
TYLER let out a frustrated curse when his assistant, David, showed him the pictures on his cellphone. He never thought that a picture of him and Tanya lurking at the bar a month ago would actually leak out.He stood up abruptly and slammed his hand on the table. “Find out who took those photos. Make sure they don’t spread any further,” he demanded, his jaw clenching as he looked at his assistant. “You already know what to do.”David nodded, “Yes, sir.” He excused himself before quickly leaving Tyler’s office.Tyler swiftly organized his things. Even though he hadn’t received a call from Sabrina about her photo shoot, he was determined to go to her immediately. He wouldn’t allow her to see those pictures. He didn’t want anything to upset her during this crucial time for both of them and their unborn child.Tyler practically flew his car to the restaurant where he left Sabrina earlier. When he arrived, he hurriedly went inside and looked for his wife.“Tyler!”He looked back to where th
SABRINA posed gracefully, looking serious as she gazed at the camera. Today will be her final photo shoot before she completely leaves the modeling world. She didn’t want to create any major issues, so she aimed to quietly bid farewell to the world she had grown accustomed to.It had been a week since she and Tyler visited the obstetrician for a check-up. The doctor mentioned that her pregnancy was delicate, but they prescribed her vitamins and medication to support the baby’s development.“That’s it. Now, lay down slightly on the couch with your legs crossed and look in front of the camera with your parted lips. Give us your fierce look,” the photographer instructed.She immediately followed the photographer’s instructions. She carefully made her way and laid her body down slightly on the couch. She was wearing high heels. Despite not wanting to, she didn’t have any other choice. Besides, it was the last one anyway.From the corner of her eyes, she saw the manager attentively watchin
