SarinaAfter that time, he took me, and Maximus became possessive. He always calls and wants me by his side, but I like it. The only annoying thing is that his grandmother is always around with the bitch Midori, who sometimes even deliberately stays in our condo for a long time. Just like today, it's Sunday, and Maximus and I are in the living room. His grandmother left and said she was just going to see a friend for a while, but she left behind the bitch who was a willing third wheel to me and my husband."Babe, I'm thirsty," said Midori, making me roll my eyes in annoyance. Is she thinking of asking me to get her something to drink? The nerve of this woman if that's the case. There's no way I will do that, even if Maximus asks me."You have your feet; walk to the kitchen and get your water," I said while smiling."Why would I do that? I am Max's girlfriend; you're his nurse!" she exclaimed, which angered me. How dare she tell me that when she knew who I was?"Well, I am Max's desirab
Contract And Marriage Chapter 14b
After I entered our bedroom, I thought about what had happened in the past few weeks. I have been happy even though Midori and Grandma are always present to ruin my day. It's because Maximus seemed different. He's still a pervert, but I could see his sweetness. I don't feel bad for his possessiveness. I mean, I don't feel like I'm being suffocated or choking in our relationship. It even makes me feel beautiful, so it's fine.His eye surgery is scheduled for next week, and I have to admit that I'm excited and a little nervous. He's very handsome, and I was worried about him seeing me and finding out I'm just ordinary. Argh! Why should I think about it? It's not like I was the one who forced him into this marriage. It's up to him; I just accepted his offer."Sarina!" I was surprised as I sat on the bed when Maximus suddenly spoke, and at the same time, the door to our room burst open."You startled me!" I exclaimed, holding my chest. What is he doing here? Where is Midori?"Why are you s

SarinaThree days later, I went to my hometown on the island of Catanduanes. If there’s something that changed in my life after marrying Maximus, it's that I got on a plane to go home and be in the province within an hour. By land, it will take me about 18 hours and will take longer if the bus I booked is the old one.My mother was waiting for me in front of our little house with my brother and sister-in-law and my two lovely and smart nieces.“Sarina!” my mother exclaimed. She looked very happy when she saw me so I smiled and hugged her. “I miss you so much, my dear daughter. Look, even our neighbors couldn't wait to see you either," she bragged, making me feel uneasy."What are you talking about?" I replied, feeling ashamed. My mother has always been proud of me, so I didn’t try to do things that might disappoint her. It’s the only thing I can do for all the hardship she had to go through during my school days. It was also the reason why I studied so hard and finished college."Nothi

SarinaThe next day, I woke up early as usual. My family would not be shocked if I woke up even before the sun started peeking because I was used to that routine when I was still living here with them. My body clock didn't change much, especially since my duty as a nurse in Manila is always early in the morning, and that didn't change even after I became Maximus' private nurse.They are already at the table having breakfast while my nieces and nephews are still asleep. That's okay because they are kids and still need more sleep. "Good morning," I greeted them. My brother quickly stood up and put a plate on me. "Don't do that for me, Brother. Your wife is the one you should be taking good care of so she won't have a hard time. Imagine if she hit her head and had her eyes open?""It's so early, Sarina, and you're teasing me already," he replied, and I'm thankful he doesn't look offended. I already took care of her first, of course. And don't stop me from doing this to you because, in the

Sarina“Jason!” I was surprised. Then, my thoughts turned to Maximus and my phone, prompting me to abruptly end the call without checking if he had already answered. "Just a moment," I said, returning my cell phone to my room. I took a deep breath before I went back to the living room."For you, Love." He said this while holding out a dozen red roses and some chocolate, which I accepted. I looked around and saw that my family was there, and my eyes widened."Ah, we're going outside first, dear.""Okay, mom." One by one, they left, leaving Jason and me alone. "Sit down,"“Thank you.” He was smiling, making him look more appealing. His dimple is his most valuable asset, and it captivates me. He is aware of this and makes sure to use it whenever we disagree or he is attempting to woo me."You don't need to bring things like this," I said as I placed his gifts on the table."You know it's my happiness to give you something like that since you don't want anything expensive." It's true. In a

His light and gentle kiss swept me away, making me respond to him as well. We were in that situation briefly until Maximus' face suddenly entered my mind. Shit! This is wrong! I quickly pushed Jason away, which surprised him."Love..." I could see the shock and worry on his face. And to be honest, I want to feel sorry for him because the hope that was in his eyes just now also disappeared quickly."Like I said, I'm already married. I'm sorry, Jason, but I feel like I'm being sinful if I keep you waiting. If we are meant for each other, let fate give us a chance. For now, it is unlikely that we will be together again. I'm sorry.” Then I turned my back on him and went into my room. I couldn't stop the tears from rolling down my eyes because of the pain and regret about our relationship.I don't know how long I just sat on my bed. Even when Mom called me, I didn't pay attention until she stopped herself and completely left me alone. They knew that I wanted to have time for myself during t

Sarina"Why are you here? I thought you had already left?" Maximus's grandmother asked angrily. I tried to keep my temper and be patient as much as possible. But with the scene I walked into, it seemed unlikely unless she stopped."Grandma, Sarina is my wife." I raised my eyebrows at his words and didn't hide it from her. Imagine, she scolded the old lady right away."I don't care!" His grandmother said angrily with her eyes glaring at me."If only I had known that you were here and with that flirtatious woman, I wouldn't have bothered coming home and would have continued enjoying my vacation.""You're talking back," and then she suddenly slapped me. I didn't expect that, so I wasn't prepared. I forgot that this is how rich people are, except for the Satudez."Grandma!" Maximus exclaimed in surprise. Then he got up from his hospital bed and approached me. I held my cheek, and I wanted to cry, but I held back, so my teeth clenched.Maximus touched my cheek and lifted my face, but I crin
Contract And Marriage Chapter 18b
"Sarina, stop now," Maximus said, but I didn't."Because our contract is almost over. After that, I'm free from your family." I turned away from them, but Maximus called me before I reached the door."Sarina, where are you going?""Let her leave, and no matter what contract you have with that gold digger, I don't care. Finish it so I won't have to see that woman's face, Maximus. Does she really think that there would be a decent family who would accept a low-life like her?" the old woman said, belittling me even more.I turned to them, saying, "Not everyone has eyes like you, and if you think that no decent family will accept me, you are wrong." I looked at Maximus before I finally turned and left the room. I could see the anger on his face, and I didn't know if the pain was true. But why would he feel that way? Why would he get hurt? Because I answered and talked back to his grandmother? Don't I have any right to defend myself when my husband didn't do it for me?From what I thought,

SarinaMaximus had always been incredibly supportive. There were days when he would follow me to the university, and I felt like a teenager again. I couldn’t help but smile as the woman stared at him, only to find out I was his wife. He would kiss me deeply in front of all the students before inviting me into the car.But honestly, it hasn’t been easy. Every morning, I had to wake up early just to keep up with our exercise routine. Dr. Miraez told me it would help if I lost some weight, as I had been feeling insecure. But Maximus reassured me that no matter what form, size, or shape I was in, I would always be the only woman he’d love and desire.Still, it's hard not to feel insecure as a woman, especially when your husband is still as handsome and fit as ever. Maximus is health-conscious, so his body remains well-maintained.Years passed, and my routine became second nature despite my lessons getting harder. My kids seemed to understand my situation. Lisa said they behaved so well whe
Contract And Marriage Chapter 109
MaximusJust as Sarina wished, she pursued studying medicine. She started a bit late and had to catch up with her classmates, making her early days extremely busy. The kids were excited when we told them. Chase, who understood the most, was incredibly happy for his mother.Sarina worried about our children, but Lisa assured her they would take care of everything in her absence. As the boss of my own company, I could look after our kids whenever necessary.“Relax, my love. Everything will be fine, so just focus on your studies, okay?” She nodded and smiled at me before kissing my lips sweetly.I accompanied her to her therapy sessions with Dr. Miraez. During that time, I felt useless, as I hadn’t realized that Sarina, too, could break down like anyone else. I was a fool to think that the superwoman in my life had no weaknesses, despite knowing the horrors she had endured at the hands of those cruel people.One day, she came to my office to apologize to Lavinia. Her face flushed with emb

Sarina "Where are you taking me, Maximus?" I asked as he continued driving. It was a Saturday morning, and we were supposed to spend time with our kids at home. But out of the blue, he invited me to go out, saying he had somewhere he wanted to go—with me, of course. It had been a month since we reconciled and came to an understanding. I was enrolled in the university and trying to catch up with the lesson I missed because I started a little late. Today, I skipped my school-related tasks because it was supposed to be our family day. But now, here I was, being whisked away to some unknown destination by my husband. "You're still as impatient as ever, my wife. And why do you only call me Maximus? Are you mad?" "No, it's just that you're being so secretive. Why won't you tell me where we're going?" He took a deep breath before replying. "Just relax, my wife. I have something to show you, and I want your opinion on it." I let him be and stopped questioning him. He was driving, a

SarinaTwo days had passed, and Maximus and I still hadn't spoken, although he kept trying. I was still hurt and didn’t want to cry in front of him anymore.I felt guilty and a bit embarrassed for slapping his secretary, who turned out to be Aries' girlfriend. I wanted to speak to her and personally apologize. From Maximus' expression when he revealed who Lavinia really was, I knew nothing had happened between them. Still, it hurt that he kicked me out, giving the shallow excuse that he was just surprised or shocked.It was Saturday, so Maximus was home, but he was in his mini office talking to Aries. Earlier, they had been playing with the kids, and he excused himself to speak with his assistant for a moment.I waited for their conversation to end, watching for him to come out. "I want to tell you something," I said. He nodded quickly and moved closer to touch me, but I stepped away and walked into his office.Maximus followed me and sat down at his desk while I remained standing in f

Sarina“My wife,” Maximus said as soon as he saw me walking up the porch. He looked in a hurry, probably about to leave, so I just gave him a nod. I kept walking into the house, with him following closely behind.“Mommy!!!” Chastity screamed the moment she saw me. The other children turned around and rushed toward me while I noticed my husband watching quietly.“Did you behave while I was gone?” I asked them with a smile.“Yes!!!” they all replied in unison, and I couldn't help but shower them with kisses in delight.“Why did Daddy come home first? Nanny said you went to his office.”“Well, Mommy had somewhere else to go, so Daddy came home first. I needed to make sure you weren’t getting into any trouble.”“Behave, babies,” chimed in my seventh child, Chanton. His words were still slightly slurred, but it was understandable. I picked him up and walked toward the living room, holding Chastity’s hand, with the others trailing behind, except for the youngest, who was in Rowena’s arms, sm
Contract And Marriage Chapter 105
SarinaI can’t believe it. He yelled at me and threw me out of his office. It hurts so much; I don’t know where to go or who to turn to. Why did this happen? Has he really changed? When did this all start, and why am I only feeling it now? I had been too busy taking care of our children to the point that I forgot about myself, and this?I couldn’t stop my tears from falling. I kept wiping my cheeks as I passed that woman in the hallway. I didn’t want to take the elevator and risk anyone seeing me like this.When I decided to visit his office, all the scenarios I imagined disappeared instantly. I thought his office could once again become our little love haven, just like it used to be. But that didn’t happen. Instead, the scene I walked into was a nightmare, and what happened after that felt like hell.I couldn’t shake the image of that woman from my mind—beautiful, sexy. And I’m sure she’s smart, too. Maximus never liked someone who couldn’t keep up with him and how he worked. He wants
Contract And Marriage Chapter 104
MaximusI didn’t like what happened, and I felt upset with Sarina for what she thought. I could never cheat on her—she alone is more than enough for me. So why does she feel that way? When did she lose her trust in me? Is that why she came here without warning and didn’t bring the kids? Was it just to do what she did earlier?She always brought the kids whenever she visited me in my office. Even when it was just Chase, she hated going out alone—not out of fear, but because she didn’t want to leave our children behind.I took a deep breath and sank into my chair. I leaned back before closing my eyes. My head still throbbed from the hangover, and what just happened only made it worse.I heard the door to my office open, likely Lavinia. "Sir," she called, prompting me to open my eyes and watch her pick up the things scattered on the floor.“I’m sorry, Lavinia.”“It’s okay, Sir.” She placed the laptop on my table along with Sarina's lunchbox."It looks like Ma'am Sarina wanted to spend tim

Maximus"Aw, shit!" I groaned as I woke up, slowly blinking my eyes open. I glanced around and remembered that I wasn't at home. I looked at my wristwatch and saw that it was already half past six.I sat up and pulled the blanket off my body, only to be shocked when I realized I wasn’t wearing any clothes. My eyes darted around the room, searching for my clothes, and I noticed a rack with some neatly hung clothes on it.Nobody else was in the room, so I stood up and headed to the bathroom to shower. Judging by the room's look, I must be in a hotel. There was a bar downstairs where I had stayed last night, lost in thoughts about my wife.“Shit! Sarina!” I shouted, but I could only shake my head as I recalled what happened yesterday. I turned on the shower and began washing myself, but the thoughts of my wife wouldn’t leave my mind.I couldn’t understand her anymore. I noticed she’s always quiet, and whenever I ask her what’s wrong, she smiles and says it’s nothing. But I’m not a mind re
Contract And Marriage Chapter 102
Sarina"Let’s talk," Maximus said firmly as I stepped out of the bathroom.“I’m not in the mood to talk,” I said before turning my back on him; he grabbed my arm, spinning me around to face him.“I want to know what’s going on, Sarina.” That’s what he called me now, Sarina. I stared at him, and he met my gaze, waiting for an answer.“Nothing is going on, Maximus.”“Then what was that downstairs? Why did you suddenly get so angry?”“Chanden chased Chansen, and he fell. What do you want me to do about it?”“Is that how you correct the kids when they make mistakes? And besides, they’re just kids. It’s normal for them to play and get hurt sometimes.”“You know what? No matter how much I try to explain, you'll never understand me.” I tried to walk away again, but he wouldn’t let me.“Talk to me, Sarina. Tell me what’s really going on. I don’t believe this is just about correcting the kids.”“I told you, nothing’s wrong!” I blurted out. Maximus stared at me intently as if trying to read my s
