Contract And Marriage Chapter 68
MaximusI can’t sit still. I’m happy that Sarina remembers something about us, but why must the timing be so bad? Every time she teases me, she always wins. I know she doesn’t remember anything about that man. Still, I can’t help feeling jealous because even if she doesn’t remember Jason, the fact that he was her first love hasn’t changed or disappeared.When she left our room earlier, I wanted to follow her. I could feel that something wasn’t right, even though she kissed me willingly. After that, our conversation seemed to change. No, I can’t let this go on. I want the cheerful and teasing Sarina, even if she always gets under my skin.She’s in the bathroom, taking a shower. I made sure to get in bed first because she might just fall asleep, and we wouldn’t have the chance to talk. I don’t want the night or day to pass with her feeling upset with me or even holding a simple grudge.I didn’t take my eyes off the bathroom door as if it might disappear. I was waiting for her to come out
Contract And Marriage Chapter 69
SarinaI couldn’t help but laugh at Maximus. So that's why he was so irritated when he saw Jason and me—because Jason is my ex-boyfriend, first love, and childhood sweetheart. On top of that, I also found out that his family is wealthy, but his parents supported me, just as mine were of him.I remember asking my husband if my parents didn’t like him, and he said it didn’t seem that way. He mentioned that my family loves me very much and always supports whatever makes me happy.Maximus had to leave the next day, so Chase and I were just at home. I was glad he had someone to play with—Rocel’s son, who also significantly helps with his development.I was by the poolside, reading while watching Chase and Jerome play. Lisa asked her daughter-in-law, Rocel, for help, so I offered to watch over the kids for a while.We had already hired a nanny for Chase, who was supposed to arrive later, according to Aries. Maximus was heading to his office with Mariano, but I knew they would also discuss Ra

SarinaOur relationship has been good, and I feel at ease with him. I'm also happy, especially as the time for me to give birth to our child approaches. Ralph is very attentive to me, not letting me do anything around the house. Everything would be fine for me, and I wouldn’t have anything to worry about if not for one thing that troubles my mind.According to my credentials, I was born in L.A. and even studied there. But why do I know how to speak Tagalog? I’m not exceptionally smart or gifted because I think my brain is just average. So there’s still a part of me that doubts. I can’t ask Ralph about it because I’m worried he might get upset, so I keep it to myself.I’m very happy, and so is my husband. I feel his care for me, but I also feel his possessiveness. He doesn’t want me to go out alone; I always have to be with him. I don’t mind, but he gets upset even if I’m in the yard and a neighbor passes by to talk to me.He doesn’t confront me, but I can see how he looks at any man wh
Contract And Marriage Chapter 71
SarinaI cried uncontrollably, my sweat, snot, and tears mixing together as I continued to shield Chase with my body, who was also crying non-stop. I felt Ralph kneel before me, so I curled up more tightly to protect our child.I felt his hand on my head, and I braced myself for him to hurt me again. But I was shocked when he gently stroked my head instead and, with tears in his eyes, said, "I’m sorry. I’m really sorry, babe..." I looked up at him, and our eyes met.Regret, sadness, and pity were all there, likely for me and our child. "I’m really sorry; I don’t know what came over me," he continued as he gently lifted my head. I thought he might just be pretending and would suddenly let go of me or slam my head onto the floor. The thought frightened me, and he noticed my fear. "Please, babe, don’t be scared. I’m really sorry. This is not going to happen again."He helped me sit up, and we both turned to look at Chase when he suddenly started crying again. "I’m sorry, my son, if I scar

SarinaThe last I heard about Ralph was that he was in police custody. But now Mariano is here because he suspects that my life as Bella is in danger, and my fake husband might be involved in my disappearance as Sarina. After reminiscing about the moment I regained consciousness, I looked at my son, Chase, who was happily playing with Jerome. I smiled because he had changed so much since we arrived in the Philippines.I am thankful that Maximus, not that beast Ralph, is his real father. It has also been confirmed that the medication I unknowingly took affected Chase’s brain development, but there’s a high possibility that he’ll be fine as long as the treatment and therapy continue.I can’t ask for anything more than for all the chaos in our family to end. For Ralph to be caught so that the threat to my life and Chase’s will finally disappear, and most importantly, for Maximus and his grandmother to be okay, so that my husband, can finally be happy.I asked Maximus how I had disappeared
Contract And Marriage Chapter 73
Sarina“Why is my grandson so handsome?” Grandma Sol asked Chase. She sat beside my son on the couch, happily chatting with him. I watched them together, and even though the old woman was still mad at me, I was happy to see how fond she was of my son.I didn’t expect her to accept our child with Maximus like this, even though Dr. Jerold and my husband assured me she would love him. So even though Grandma Sol’s anger toward me still lingered, I couldn’t stay mad at her. I guess now I’ll just have to understand her better, especially since I know she’s one more person who loves my son.I had texted Maximus about his grandmother’s arrival. He called me, but I canceled it because I didn’t want the old woman to think I was tattling. So, my husband and I ended up texting each other.“Daddy, handsome.” I heard Chase respond, which made Grandma Sol even happier. Her smile was so wide it looked like her face might split.The old woman stayed for lunch at our house and happily fed Chase. Lisa gl

MaximusMariano and I were in my office when I received a text from Sarina saying that my grandmother had arrived. I was extremely worried, afraid of what she might do to my wife. Even though I knew she would adore Chase, I couldn’t help but worry for our child, so I excused myself from my brother, who was still talking and called my wife.But she canceled the call and texted me not to call again, fearing that my grandmother might get angry. So, we ended up texting each other instead.“Hey, we’re talking about something important here,” Mariano complained, frowning.“I know. Grandma is at home, and I’m worried about Sarina,” I said, which made him shake his head.“She still doesn’t want to accept her as your wife?” he asked, and I nodded. “When is she going to respect your feelings?”“Grandma loves me, Mariano.”“Not enough to see you happy with the woman you love.”“She only wants the best for me.”“And she thinks your wife isn’t the best for you.” Mariano had a rebuttal for everythin
Contract And Marriage Chapter 75
Maximus"I'm sorry if I made you worry," Sarina said. It had been two days since she had a hysterical episode, and only now was she beginning to recover from the fear she felt when that demon Ralph called her."You have nothing to be sorry about because you did nothing wrong. That animal is the one who should apologize, not you.""I want him caught so I can finally have peace. I'm scared for our child, and you might get dragged into this too.""I won't let anything happen to you or Chase. I won't let you be taken away from me again because I don't want to experience life without you." I embraced her after that, and I felt her hug me tightly in return before letting out a sigh.I will do anything for my family—whatever it takes—just to ensure their safety. With everything that's happened in our lives, we've agreed that she won't go anywhere without me, including our child. If that evil Ralph succeeded in taking her before, I won't let it happen again."I will be strong from now on; I wo

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
