Sarina

My 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

    MaximusI was startled by Sarina's sudden scream and quickly jumped out of bed. When I looked at her, she was crying in her sleep. I tried to wake her because of the fear so evident on her face."My wife..." I called to her softly while gently tapping her to wake up, but she didn't respond."Noooo... Maximusss..." she cried long and loud before her eyes opened, and she sat up. When she saw me, she quickly embraced me, and I did the same. I didn't stop comforting her until her breathing became even."My wife," I called her, but she didn't respond. "My wife," I repeated, but there was still no reply. I looked at her and saw that she had fallen asleep again. I took a deep breath before gently laying her back on the bed. With my fingers, I wiped away the remaining tears still trailing down her cheeks.I couldn't sleep after that and just watched her. She was so happy before we went to bed last night, and now this? Was it just a dream? Or was it something related to what happened between he

    Maximus"Are you ready, my wife?" I asked Sarina. She looked at me and gave a slight smile. Today was the day of her scheduled consultation with a psychologist recommended by Dr. Jerold.At first, she was hesitant because she didn’t want to remember what had happened to her. She said she feared she wouldn’t be able to handle it, especially since she was already terrified just from the nightmares. But after giving it some thought, she decided to face it to hold whoever harmed her accountable."Hi, I’m Dr. Miraez.""Good morning, doc," I greeted, then glanced at Sarina, who gave a hesitant smile. "She’s my wife, Sarina.""Hello, Ma’am Sarina." My wife just nodded as she tightened her grip on my arm. "Please, have a seat." And so we did.At first, the doctor asked Sarina gentle questions, ones that wouldn’t trigger her trauma. I noticed my wife gradually becoming more comfortable, and the doctor handed her a form to fill out. "I believe Mrs. Lardizabal will be able to handle everything. B

    Maximus"Has there any update on the result I asked you for?" I asked Aries. It's been a week since he suggested checking the date of Jason's return to the country, which was more than three years ago. I understand he needed to pull some strings to get it, but I think it's getting longer."It's difficult to obtain, Sir, because he's the son of a politician. But according to the investigator, he returned with friends, just like when he left," he replied, making me shake my head in frustration."So, it's unlikely he was responsible for everything that happened to Sarina?" I asked, started to lose hope."It's possible, Sir. But I'm still continuing the investigation. We also can't ignore the fact that he was present when you were there. Also, Sir Mariano is looking into what Mr. Satudez was doing during that period." I nodded at what he said. My suspicion towards Jason is fading, but my assistant does have a point."Alright, just continue gathering information. And whatever my brother nee

    MaximusI quickly entered the house and immediately looked into the living room, where I knew my wife and son always stayed. I smiled when I saw Chase playing with Jerome. I approached them, and the two kids greeted me, which I returned before picking up my son and kissing him."Where's Mommy?" I asked. Chase suddenly looked sad and said,"Mom– sick." I frowned just as Rocel arrived. Before I could ask, she spoke first.“Ma’am Sarina is in your room. She said she wasn't feeling well and wanted to rest." I got worried. I think everything she has been through is getting a toll on her, and everything that happens now weighs on her body."How is she feeling unwell? Did something happen while I was gone?""Nothing much. She just said she felt dizzy and wanted to lie down. She had a lot to eat during lunch and had a good appetite." I sighed in relief; maybe I was only overthinking."Thank you. Please take care of Chase while I check on my wife.""Of course, Sir," she replied with a smile. Th

    SarinaI couldn't figure out why I was feeling strange. I've felt this way since I woke up, but I haven't told Maximus because I'm worried he might skip work again. He's been neglecting the company because of me and our child. So, as long as I could bear it, I tried my best to hide my feelings from my husband.But I felt dizzy the whole morning. Thankfully, it got a little better around noon, so I could eat a lot. The problem was, after that, I started feeling severe stomach pains as if something was stabbing me. Rocel had already told me to see a doctor, but I wanted my husband to be with me.Seeing my husband's face when he entered our bedroom made me feel a little less pain. I knew he was worried again, and I started to feel guilty. As soon as he found me, I felt I had been a burden to him. I had never given him complete happiness.And now, here we are, sitting in front of the doctor, who's asking when I last had my monthly period. I paused and looked at Maximus. "I can't remember,"

    SarinaAfter we learned about my pregnancy, my husband became sweeter and more attentive. Even at work, he never forgot to call or text me about himself or whatever he was doing. What mattered most to him was that we communicated.I was content with my life. My sessions with Dr. Miraez continued, and little by little, I started to feel more relaxed, even as I discovered new things about what had happened in my past.On Thursday, I decided to visit Maximus at his office. I wanted to surprise him. I knew he wouldn't like that I went out, but I had my bodyguard with me. Besides, I would only leave the car once we arrived at the company building.I brought lunch for the two of us. I wanted us to create new memories that we could talk about. The car stopped right in front of the company. My driver-bodyguard opened the door for me, and after thanking him, I turned away. He said he knew where to park and would only leave when Maximus called for him.Our household staff were just as meticulous

    Maximus"Sir, Mr. Jason Satudez is here and wants to talk to you." I frowned when I heard Aries say that. I looked at him to make sure I heard correctly. "He's outside and waiting."I glanced at my wristwatch to check the time. I wanted to go home by lunchtime with my wife and son. But I agreed since it was still early, and I felt talking was important. Aries left after I nodded, and a few moments later, he returned with Jason."Sit down, Mr. Satudez." He didn't speak but sat in the empty chair across my office table. "What can I do for you?""You know why I'm here, Mr. Lardizabal." He spoke calmly, not looking for a fight."I have no idea, Mr. Satudez. And please, make it quick. I want to go home for lunch," I replied. Although I knew it was because of Sarina, I didn't want him to think I was open to any conversation regarding my wife."It's about Sarina.""What about my wife?""I'll pay you whatever amount you gave her, and after that, you leave her." He said it without hesitation as

    "Even if I don't know, Mr. Satudez. I don't care anymore about that. I'm even thankful that you two didn't talk after your misunderstanding. That is if you can even call it a misunderstanding. Your loss, my gain," I teased him."I never talked to her because I wanted to solve the issue first. I wanted to face her, knowing I wasn't guilty of anything against her or our relationship. She would have come to me when we met again if you hadn't given her that ridiculous offer.""You may have solved it, but it's too late. She's already my wife.""You know you two just have a contract. And you said she loves you? She wouldn't have told me about your arrangement if she loved you. She wouldn't have told me that it was just for money that she married you." What he said was true. That was the number one reason why I was so jealous of him back then. Because it was so easy for Sarina to tell anyone about our contract.But I know things are different now. They have been different since we were in Las

    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
