Is he really not going to stop?
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
Sarina"Hi, my wife. How are you feeling?" Maximus' face greeted me as soon as I opened my eyes. I felt so weak, but seeing his handsome face gave me a sudden burst of energy."I'm okay now, my husband.""You really worried me. Why didn't you call me when you weren't feeling well?""I didn't want to bother you at work. You're always absent." He laughed softly and stroked my cheek while his thumb gently rubbed my hand, which he was holding."You will never be a bother to me. You actually give me power and energy because I get stronger when I see you and hear your voice."He never makes my heart flutter; words like that make me love him even more. Even if I can't remember many of our happy moments, I can feel that what I feel for him is real. It's like my heart remembers him even if my mind can't."I've been here since yesterday. Aren't we going home yet?" I asked. Knowing that many employees depended on him, I didn't want to take up too much of his time."The doctor said you need to be
"Really?" I stared deeply into his eyes, and he looked back at me. I made sure he could see the desire that had started to spread throughout my whole body. I wanted him to touch me as I started to rub small circles on his hand, which was holding mine."Fuck, you wait here." Then, he suddenly stood up from his chair, walked to the door, and locked it. A mischievous smirk spread across his face when he turned around, sending a quick jolt through my body and making me ache for him."Just so you know, I haven't showered yet.""You should've thought about that before tempting me so much if you're worried about that." He started walking toward me, making me sit down on my hospital bed. Luckily, I had thoroughly washed before Maximus told me to rest. "You really want this, huh?""Why do you say that?" I asked, grinning."If only you could see yourself, my wife.""Do I look the same as you do right now?""Exactly." With that, he swiftly pulled me close and kissed me hard. I responded eagerly,
