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

Is this how parents are? Wait, did I do or say something that warranted their worry? I shook my head when I didn't recall anything. Maybe they were just really worried about me. And I understand that I left too early as well."Oh, dear, you know you would have stopped us from doing this. It's better to surprise you so you can't make any excuses. I've wanted to come here for a long time to see what kind of life you have here in Manila. Being alone is hard, especially for a young woman like you. I just want to make sure that you are safe where you are staying and that no harm will ever come your way," my mother replied. She's always like that. Thinking about things she shouldn't even have to worry about."Also, I want to personally thank your boss for lending us the money to pay off my debt," my

SarinaI left his room after he wiped me down, which is something I like him doing for me. He wasn't the type of partner in bed who would leave you alone after he cummed. I felt well taken care of by him, and I couldn't help but admire him. I thought that might be one of the reasons too why many women were so into him and, as he said, asked for a second time."Did you find what your boss was looking for?" my mother asked. Right, I forgot. What am I going to answer to her? I keep thinking about my husband to the point that I sometimes forget what I was doing."No, Mom," Maximus replied; how is he here already? I didn't notice he had followed me already. "Maybe Lisa is the one who kept it away.""Lisa?" my father, who had just come from the kitchen, asked curiously."Yes, Dad. She's also staying here; she needs to attend to something and has requested a leave. Her daughter-in-law gives birth and needs her." Maximus explained, sitting next to me, placing his laptop on his lap, and opening

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

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
