Jason is there as well??? Hmm...
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
"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,
Maximus"Hello," I answered Aries' call."I saw Ma'am Sarina," he reported."Follow her, and don't let her out of your sight. I want to know where she's going," I instructed."Okay, sir." I ended the call and faced my grandmother and Midori. My blood was boiling out of anger, but they were still family, especially my grandmother."Midori, I don't want to see your face ever again. If you don't stop approaching, I won't let your family off the hook either. Remember that," I warned."But babe,""And stop calling me your fucking babe because I'm not!" I snapped, startling her with my outburst."Maximus," my friend Jerold, a doctor, interrupted, trying to calm the situation. He had been standing there, watching the drama, and I didn't even think Sarina noticed him."Stay out of this, Jerold," I looked at him, and he nodded in understanding."I'll leave you for now," he excused himself, which I agreed to. I didn't want him to hear what I had to say to these women."You no longer respect me,
More than an hour later, Aries called me again, "Where is she? Did she go back to the condo?""No, sir, she went to a hotel.""Where?""At Luxuria.""Okay, you can return to work, and I'll discharge myself." We then talked, and I called Jerold and asked for his help."You know what, buddy, I don't know why you must do all this for your wife. Do you love her that much?" He asked in disbelief."It's just different for me; I don't know why. I've never felt this way with any woman.""You're in love. Anyway, good luck with your courtship. Based on what I saw earlier, your wife has other admirers." Because of what he said, I couldn't help but tense my muscles while clenching my fists in anger. "And it looks like you know that. Good luck, buddy."I nodded at him and said goodbye. I had to go to my wife, who I was sure was still fuming with anger because of my grandmother and Midori.When I arrived at the hotel, the employees didn't know what to do. It's because I was the new owner of Luxuria,
SarinaIt felt so good like I was being cradled. I didn't know if it was because of the air conditioner, but I felt incredibly light. I slowly opened my eyes and rubbed them to clear the sleepiness away, only to find someone sitting beside me, watching me.I rubbed my eyes again to clear the dried tears that had turned into eye boogers to ensure someone was beside me. "Maximus?" I exclaimed in surprise, quickly sitting up, which made me a bit dizzy. He immediately pulled me closer before I could fall off the bed. I looked around to confirm where I was and noticed I was still in the hotel, just like before I fell asleep. "What are you doing here? How did you get in?""I don't see any reason why I shouldn't be able to get in here," he said as he leaned back against the headboard with his arms crossed. Why does he look so confident? The slight curve he made with the side of his lips in a smirk gives me the urge to tell him how handsome he is."What do you mean, you don't see any reason? T
Sarina"Why stay in this room when you can get better?" Maximus asked. We had just finished eating, and I must admit, I ate a lot, so I was thankful that my husband ordered a lot of food. I hadn't realized I was so hungry until we started eating."I didn't want to spend a lot," I replied while he continued to caress my hand he was holding. We were on the couch, leaning at him with his arm wrapped around me."What about the card I gave you?""I didn't want to use it, even though I was tempted earlier. I thought about your grandma, who would be furious if she found out, so I stopped myself. I didn't want her to think that I am what she thinks I am, and that will never happen if I will spend your money." It was long, but I hope he got my point."You don't have to think about her. I am your husband and responsible for providing everything you need and want. So next time, don't hesitate to spend my money." I looked up at him with furrowed brows. He said it like we were actually normal coupl
