Thank you for reading, see you in the next chapter!
Bella"I don't care about that, and don't you dare lecture me because you're just an employee here!" the old woman said angrily to Sir Aries, snapping me back to the situation in front of me. "And you, woman, stay away from my grandson because you're not good enough for him. Only Midori is fit to be my grandson's wife, no one else."I raised an eyebrow before glancing at Sir Aries, who looked uncertainty between me and the old woman. Should I answer back so she can see what she's looking for? But of course, I couldn't do that—it's not worth losing my job, so I just shrugged off what my boss's grandmother said."You hear my granny, so you better stay away from Maximus," Midori repeated, which annoyed me."Even if I stay away from my boss, he won't like you. You didn't win him over before, and you never will because I've heard around the company that he only loves one woman, and that's his wife—no one else.""You crazy bitch!" the bow-legged woman snapped and tried to slap me, but I quic
MaximusMy eyes widened at what she said, and I forgot my curiosity about how she got inside my condo. "Say that again.""What exactly, sir?" she asked in confusion before her eyes suddenly widened, and she quickly covered her face with both hands. "What I meant to say was— I—" she stammered. I suddenly remembered Sarina because she said the same thing when we were in Las Vegas, experiencing her way of pleasing me."You were saying, Bella?" I asked."Maybe I can have a taste or experience living here in your condo; it's so big and beautiful…" she finally managed to say. But her gaze kept sweeping from my chest down to the bulge of my manhood, which was only covered by a towel."Are you sure it's just the experience of living in my condo that you want and not to experience me tasting you?" I asked.Her cheeks turned red, and she looked at me before her eyes darted around, not knowing where to look. "Gosh, sir, what do you mean by that? You're so rich and educated, but you talk like you
MATURE CONTENTMaximusI didn't feel her resist, proving she wanted it too. I deepened our kiss just like how I would kiss my wife. I didn't want to think about it because it wasn't fair to Bella, but I couldn't help it. For me, my secretary screams Sarina to me.I heard something fall to the floor, but I ignored it, especially when her hands moved to my shoulders and wrapped around my neck. My body was aching for her, so I quickly removed her blazer and long-sleeved polo. It wasn't hard because she let me do it freely.She was only left in her bra, so I unclasped it from behind and let it fall to the floor along with her other clothes. I then unzipped her pencil-cut skirt and let it slide down after I unhooked it.I finally removed the towel wrapped around my waist before lifting her up, intending to carry her to the guest room, but she pointed to my bedroom instead. I don't know why I didn't think twice about doing it. I only wanted Sarina, the only woman I bring into my room, but as
BellaMaximus and I were both lying down—I mean, Sir and I. Damn it, I don't even know what to call him now. Maybe I'll just call him Maximus. I don't know why I called him my husband. It just slipped out of my mouth, so I couldn't confront him when he also called me his wife. What was that about? Am I the only one allowed to say someone else's name while he isn't?Although that wasn't really a name, it was just that we both have our own spouses, except that mine is still alive while he's mourning and can't move on from his deceased wife. I shook my head and closed my eyes, unable to think properly."What are you thinking?" he suddenly asked, making me turn my gaze to him, only to be met by his eyes. There was something different about how he looked at me—happiness, confusion, and hope all mixed together."Nothing.""Why did you scream like that?""Huh?" I didn't take my eyes off him, and he didn't take him off me either, so I probably looked like a fool to him. He turned to his side,
BellaMaximus left me for a moment and stepped out of the room while I picked up my panties lying at the head of the bed. When he returned, he brought the clothes he had removed from me individually and handed them to me. I quickly dressed as soon as I received them because I felt embarrassed. How could I not be when he was watching me while he was also getting dressed?It felt like we were really a married couple. "Let's go and talk," he said after getting dressed."Outside," I quickly replied before walking towards the room's open door, which he didn't even close when he brought me inside his bedroom.I felt Maximus following me until I sat down on the couch. I looked at him quickly when he sat beside me."What?" he asked, creasing his forehead."Sit over there," I said, pointing to the couch opposite mine."Something already happened between us, and you're still shy?" he asked again, making me feel embarrassed when he reminded me of what we just did."I feel awkward. What if you sud

The three of us froze, staring at Maximus, who had now approached. “Say that again, Midori!” the bow-legged woman and I both jumped as he yelled. His face was filled with rage, his jaw clenched tightly as if he were holding back his anger.He suddenly grabbed Midori by the arm, and she now looked terrified. “Did you have anything to do with my wife’s disappearance?” Maximus demanded again. “Answer me!!” He was furious. Did he love his wife that much?His face was red, and his body was trembling as I watched him hurt the bow-legged woman. She deserved it, but her appearance was now pitiful, and I feared my boos might break her bones.“Sir,” Aries intervened, trying to hold our boss’s hand. But it had no effect. Maximus glared at Midori, refusing to let go until she answered his question.“Answer me, Midori. Did you have anything to do with Sarina’s disappearance?” Maximus asked again.“No, I had nothing to do with it. Remember, I was here; how could I harm her?” the terrified woman repl
Bella"Good morning, Sir," I greeted Maximus as he arrived."In my office," he responded, not even glancing at me. It's been five days since we went to the hospital, and he really had everything tested on me. They said I used to work there, so the nurse assisting me kept glancing at me—maybe because of my name, even though I was not wearing the same face. My boss said she was a friend of mine. Now, we're just waiting for the results.I stood up from my seat and followed him. What could this man want this time? As I entered, he suddenly closed the door behind me, pinned me there after he lifted me, and kissed me. I was so shocked that I didn't know how to react until I finally responded to his kiss.My mouth seemed to have a mind of its own, knowing exactly what to do, and quickly sucked on Maximus' lower lip. Damn! I didn't realize I was this lustful. I wrapped my arms around his neck and deepened the kiss, which only stopped because we were both running out of breath.I think we both
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
