Grandma finally see her great grandson! See you in the next chapter!
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
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
MaximusI returned to Sarina after calming myself down. I didn’t want her to know what I discussed with that despicable man. I wouldn’t allow her fears to grow any further, which would only lead her to an emotional breakdown.“Who called?” she asked curiously.“It was Aries. There was a problem at the Sarina Hotel and Casino.” Her brow furrowed when she heard that, and I remembered she wasn’t aware of that business. I never took her there when she was still my secretary.“It was the last business I decided to put up before we went to Las Vegas to meet my business partners. And I named it Sarina Hotel and Casino because I missed you so much.” I explained, which was unintentional, but I managed to tell her how much I love her.“Well, how’s it doing? Can he handle it, or do you need to go there?” she asked, concern evident in her voice.“No need. He can handle it; he just called to confirm what he should do,” I replied, then sat beside her again, continuing to watch our son and Jerome pla
SarinaTwo full weeks passed, and Ralph returned to L.A. yesterday. I couldn't bring myself to talk to or see him, so I didn't accompany Maximus when he went to visit him in prison. I suspect I was just too scared, and I wanted to give him a chance not to silence me because of the words he might utter, just in case.I remembered my husband's appearance when he came home from talking to him. He seemed really angry, more than I could understand. He didn’t tell me about their conversation, and I didn’t ask either. What’s the point of not going with him if I’m just going to ask him anyway?“Is everything over, Maximus?” I asked hesitantly. I didn't want to burden my husband, but I couldn’t stop worrying excessively. I was holding onto him while lying on our bed after our passionate lovemaking.I felt his gentle kiss on my head before he spoke. “For now, I can say yes. Mariano has assigned some people to watch that bastard and ensure he can’t escape or even leave the prison.”I tightened my
SarinaI discovered that Ralph was obsessed with his wife. He loved her deeply, but she betrayed him. He couldn't accept it, so even though he knew he was being cheated on, they continued to live together. The constant drinking eventually poisoned his mind, and he ended up killing his wife.I feel sorry for him, but that doesn’t justify him changing my face and inflicting the same abuse on me that he did to his previous wife. I can never forgive Ralph for taking me away, which caused Maximus and me to be separated and led to my memory loss.My past no longer matters to me. I can always ask my husband if there’s something I want to know. I don’t want to stress him out by making him worry about my condition; instead, I want him to enjoy spending time with me and our child, creating new memories we can treasure.Mariano had already returned to Las Vegas, and I saw the sadness on my husband's face when he said goodbye. I can’t blame him because I felt the same way. I also prayed that my br
MATURE CONTENTSarinaMy parents couldn’t believe what had happened to me. Maximus had already told them everything, but they chose to thank God instead, saying they were grateful they still had the chance to see me. It turns out that they had been in Maximus' office for quite some time. Aries had picked them up from the airport. Although they were eager to come here, my husband didn’t allow them because he wanted to witness our reunion.I was deeply touched, and all my doubts about Maximus vanished. After all, who would have thought? I’m married, and then he claims to be my husband out of nowhere? So, I decided to believe only what he had told me from then on.I also discovered that I have an older brother with a family. Maximus said they couldn’t come along because the kids had school. Still, he promised that he would bring them here again during the vacation, or we could go on vacation in Catanduanes. I was extremely grateful to my husband for the happiness his actions brought me."
SarinaMy parents have returned to the province, and I couldn't be happier with the five days they spent here with us. They said they weren't used to my face at first, but once they noticed and saw my behavior and how I acted the way the Sarina they knew was, they didn't hesitate to accept that I really was their daughter. They also said they'd explain everything to my older brother about what happened to me. They hoped that Maximus and I would get a chance to take a vacation there, and we, as a couple, quickly agreed.Today is Saturday. Grandma Sol, who still didn't want to accept me as Maximus' wife, requested that I take Chase to her mansion. I didn’t mind since my son already has a driver-bodyguard recommended by the police, who helped Mariano and my husband track down Ralph.“My husband,” I said as soon as Maximus answered my call. “I’d like to go out if that’s okay.”“My wife, I want to go with you wherever you go.” I know he's just worried about me. He doesn’t want what happened
