Sarina

After 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

    MaximusThe nerve of this man was unbelievable, and it took everything in me to stop myself from hitting him. He would never take my wife from me, and from now on, I wouldn’t let him out of my sight. I needed to find out if he had anything to do with what happened to Sarina in Las Vegas because, looking at him now, I couldn’t see the man my wife once loved.He looked and sounded different from how my in-laws knew him. All the good things they say about him now contradict his actions. I love my wife and she's the best thing that happens to me, so there's no way that I am going to let that bastard take her away from me.The last three years were hell for me. I was living but I don't feel alive at all. And I didn't want to experience that ever again.“If you have nothing good to say, you can leave now, Mr. Satudez.” We stared each other down, and I could see his jaw clench before he quickly hid his anger, as if he was holding himself back just like I was. It made me think that there was m

    MaximusSarina suddenly became hysterical, so I quickly took her to my office. Once inside, I sat her on the couch and faced her, trying to calm her down. "My wife, please talk to me..." I said as I gently tried to make her look at me. Her doctor had told me that I needed to calm her down, and one way to do that was by letting her see the people she loved."No, no, no…" She pushed away my hands, which were gently wiping the tears from her cheeks."Shh.. shh. It's me, my wife. I'm Maximus Lardizabal.""Maximus?" She paused, looking at me for a moment before she hugged me. I breathed a sigh of relief because she still knew who I was. She knew she was safe with me. After a few moments, I felt her calm down."Are you feeling a little better now?" I asked as I gently pulled her back but still held her shoulders. She nodded and smiled hesitantly. "Tell me what happened. Did Jason do something to you?""No, nothing.""Then why do you seem so scared?""I don't know why I felt that way. I just

    Sarina"You're mine! You're only mine, Sarina!" I couldn't get those words out of my head. I felt so scared when I heard Jason say that. But why? Why was I so afraid? Maximus said he was my first love and childhood sweetheart, so he's jealous of my ex. But why do I feel different about him now? Why does he seem like a stranger to me?I tried to ignore my feelings because I saw how worried my husband was in his voice and face. I didn't want to add to his worries when he already seemed so burdened by just me, and now we have a child, too. I felt like I wasn't contributing enough to our relationship. So when he asked me if I wanted to return to work, I said no.It's important to me to take care of my family, and knowing how responsible and hardworking my husband is, I wanted to be the reason he relaxed when he went home after a day's work.We had fun shopping, and even though I was afraid, I still enjoyed every moment with my husband. He didn't let me think about anything else but what we

    "Ma'am, Doña Sol is here," said nanny Rowena. I was putting away the things Maximus, and I bought the other day in my room. I hadn't had the chance to organize them because we were so tired when we arrived, and more than that, my husband wouldn't let me because he said he missed me too much and wanted to be with me.I wondered why is the old woman was here. I nodded at Chase's nanny, dropped the clothes I was holding, and started walking out of our room.In the living room, I saw the old woman playing with my son, Chase, who sensed my presence because he looked at me and ran toward me. "Beautiful grandma, here." I smiled at my son, nodded, and then turned to grandma Sol, who looked at me as if studying my appearance."Rowena, take care of my grandchild. Sarina and I have something to talk about," the old woman ordered my son's nanny, standing beside me. Rowena nodded, then took Chase from my arms before heading to the poolside on the right side of our house.I walked toward Grandma Sol

    MaximusI wanted things to be good between me and Grandma, so I went to her mansion before heading to the company. I talked to her about Sarina’s condition because I didn’t want her to add to my wife’s worries, especially since I knew she wasn't well, not because of her pregnancy but because of her mental health. I feel like she’s really traumatized by everything happening in her life, and she’s just trying to stay strong so I won’t worry and also for Chase and the baby she’s carrying.I was nervous about what Grandma might do all morning, but I didn’t get any calls from the mansion, even by lunchtime, so I was relieved. I thought that maybe she didn’t bother my wife anymore. I just wanted her to understand that I’m happy with Sarina and hope she can be happy for me, too.At 2 PM, I decided to go home to be with my wife and child. But when I arrived, I found my grandma playing with Chase and Jerome. Even though I didn’t expect it, I was happy to see that. I looked around to find my wif

    My wife is now calm, and the doctor quickly lowered her fever. Thankfully, we were immediately attended to by specialists when we arrived at the emergency room because I noticed that she suddenly started shaking, and I didn't know why."Mrs. Lardizabal had a convulsion, and it's good that you brought her here right away," said Dr. Sanchez, attending to my wife. We were now in a private room, and Sarina was currently sleeping."How is she doing?""For now, she's in stable condition. She just needs complete rest. Let's also avoid stressing her out because of her situation." I looked at my wife and felt pity for her. It seemed like she was suffering so much, and I began to think that maybe her pregnancy came at a bad time.It's not that I don't want the baby—I'm excited. But if she's going to suffer like this, I wish our second baby had come after all our problems were over.Right now, my wife is the most important person in my life. Yes, we have a child, but in the end, it will just be t

    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
