Finally she likes him!
Maximus"Hey man, I couldn't believe you didn't get married!" said my friend Luke, grinning and eyeing my wife. Something I didn't like because I knew how much of a ladies' man he was. Compared to me, he was worse because he was willing to go as far as betraying a friend. Although his relationships with women weren't serious, it still wasn't right for him to pursue someone if he knew a friend was involved with her."Yes, she's my wife, so behave yourself." I looked at him threateningly, hoping he got my point. Because I would never allow him to lust after the only woman I love. I can easily forget who he is when it comes to my wife, and I will not hesitate to drag him to hell if necessary to make him see my point."Hey, hey, enough of that. Luke knows his limits, right, buddy?" Allan chimed in before looking at me and Sarina. I just nodded and squeezed my wife's hand to make sure she didn't feel awkward. I might have made a mistake in what I had her wear because her curve was still evi
Maximus"We already told you that you're no longer needed here," Allan, who had his hand on the woman beside him, chimed in."Hey, Max is not the only man here," said the woman, and I could see Sarina roll her eyes. It was clear to everyone that we all had our partners but she keeps on insisting herself."Then go to someone with no one to accompany him," Andrei added."Hey bitch, get out of here," said Shirley to the woman beside Luke."What?" the woman asked in surprise."Shut the fuck up, Shirley!" my friend shouted. The last thing he wanted was anyone messing with things or people he considered his possession."What, you're choosing her over me?" the woman replied flirtatiously. Is she thinking that Luke would want her over the woman beside him? If there's one thing I like about this guy, it is the fact that he never abandons a woman over a newcomer. He would stick to whomever he was with unless she was acting like a bitch, which is exactly what Shirley is doing now."I will never c
SarinaI no longer know how I feel about Maximus; I've completely fallen for him. I never thought I would come to like him this much because of the passionate moments we shared. I know there's nothing wrong with falling for him since he is already my husband. Naturally, he should be the only one I desire and no one else. But I can't understand that this started when we began living together as husband and wife.Shouldn't it have been from the first moment I met him? Wait, am I thinking about love at first sight? Ugh! I didn't even feel that way with Jason. My love for my ex came naturally. I have known him since childhood; he became a friend before I loved him intimately.Now there's Maximus. I knew I shouldn't pour all my emotions into him because our time together was limited; rather, our marriage was only temporary. But because of my happiness now, especially since he introduced me to his friends, I can't help but let my hopes up.The arrival of "darling" or Shirley didn't ruin my m
SarinaI felt the man in front of me slightly touch my waist down to my thigh, causing me to struggle. Especially when he suddenly laughed out loud. "She doesn't have her underwear!" The men laughed, and everything happened quickly because they all wanted to touch me. So, I kept struggling and even managed to slap the man who touched me first.He must have been hurt because his eyes were blazing when he faced me before he slapped me back with all his might. My face turned, and it hurt more than the slap I received from Maximus' grandmother. It stung so much that I wanted to cry, and I'm sure my cheek was reddish now."No one hurts me, bitch!" said the man while holding my jaw. It was so tight that his fingers almost dug into my skin, and I couldn't stop myself from crying. Two men were holding each of my hands, another was behind me, and a man looked like a demon in front of me."Ouch!" I screamed because another man was pulling at the coat my husband had put on me, and I was terrified
Maximus"Hey, my wife, please talk to me," I said after laying her on the bed when we arrived in our hotel room. I noticed she seemed scared, which was unusual for her. So I instructed my friends, knowing they would know what to do seeing what Sarina looked like. Especially Allan. Among those three, I trusted him to be suspicious, and Andrei would do the thinking."Let's just rest," she said softly, making me more worried."I don't want you like this, my wife. I want you to be loud and angry, always talking back to me, and easy to tease. Please, wifey, talk to me. Did that man do something to you?" I asked worriedly."Huh? No, did nothing to harm me. He actually saved me.""Saved you? From what? From whom?" I asked, puzzled. Before she could answer, my cell phone rang. I quickly grabbed it and answered, keeping my eyes on her as she looked weak in bed."Man, Roskov saved your wife from being harassed," Allan said. "I already informed Mariano about it," he added."Thank you, man," I rep
MaximusI didn't notice that I fell asleep, and when I woke up, Sarina was still in her slumber. We had not changed our clothes. I'm worried she might feel itchy later, but she was holding me so tight last night that I could not get up to change her.I went straight to the bathroom to shower. Knowing my wife would wake up late, as she had before, I ordered breakfast so it would be ready when she woke up. I was already dressed and had called room service, so I went to wake Sarina. "Have you been up long?" she asked, still sleepy."Not really." I wanted to kiss her, but I wasn't sure if it was okay. Not because she hadn't brushed her teeth yet, as she had complained about before, but because of what she had gone through last night. "Does it still hurt?" I asked as I sat beside her on the bed, gently touching her slightly bruised cheek. My jaw hardened, thinking how painful it was. How dare that bastard do that to my wife?"Not really," she replied softly, but I could hear her clearly. "
SarinaThree days have passed since I woke up feeling incredibly unattractive, and then Maximus suddenly confessed his love for me. Honestly, I couldn't believe it. I was still dazed then and didn't expect such words from him. It was insane because I hadn't even brushed my teeth or cleaned up from the previous night and felt so terrible. That jerk couldn't even pick a better time or wait until I was prepared."What are you thinking about, my wife?" Maximus's voice interrupted my thoughts. We were heading to a shopping center in Las Vegas in the car because he wanted to be affectionate today."Nothing, don't mind me." I can't tell him about my thoughts, right?"My wife, can't you answer my questions properly?" he pouted, looking so handsome that I couldn't help but notice."There's really nothing," I insisted. He was persistent and wouldn't believe me."Are you sure?" he asked, still not convinced. I smiled and nodded at him. He smiled back, pulled me closer, and wrapped one arm around
SarinaWe continued eating, and I enjoyed myself, especially when I noticed he was starting to talk, even though he still seemed slightly sulky. I shrugged because he wouldn't tell me why he was sulking anyway.We were almost finished when someone approached us, saying, "Hi, Sarina. It's fancy meeting you here." I was surprised to see Roskov, but I quickly smiled and greeted him."Hi, Roskov." I stood up, looked at Maximus, and pointed to him, saying, "He's Maximus, my husband.""Yeah, I met him that night as well." I nodded, smiling, and didn't mind at all. Remembering how he saved me that night, I couldn't help but thank him again."Anyway, thank you again for helping me out. If it weren't for you, I don't know what–" I couldn't finish my sentence because Maximus stood up and said,"Sit down, my wife. You don't need to stand." Then he looked at Roskov. I wondered why my husband seemed to have a negative impression of the man, even though he looked friendly and approachable. "Mr. Rosk
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
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
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
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
