Finally they are married!
A year has passed..."Are you happy, my wife?" Maximus asked as he embraced me from behind. I tilted my head to look at him and smiled."Very much, my husband. My happiness has no limits," I answered honestly. Exactly one year after our wedding, we were again in Las Vegas, this time with our kids, Chase, and our youngest, Chastity, who was almost eight months old.We were staying in a luxury hotel room. Our children and their nanny were in their room, while my husband and I were alone. We were on the balcony, having just finished an intimate moment, watching the beautiful lights of the buildings around the hotel.Unlike our first visit, we flew on our own plane. Maximus was so traumatized by what happened to me before, so he made sure we had our own aircraft. He said his fear and worry tripled, especially since we now had two children he wanted to protect. It wasn't about being extravagant, but now we could bring anyone we wanted when we traveled abroad."Just tell me anything you want
7 Years Later…SarinaI never thought Maximus would make it real— that we would have many children. After our second child, Chastity turned one, I gave birth year after year. Now, our youngest, Chandler, just celebrated his first birthday.Maximus is still the same as before when it comes to his work. So, he was even more successful, especially with the hotel, resort, and casino. He still tries to come home early to spend time with me and the kids.Everything seems fine, and I’m happy—our family is happy. But I don’t know why there is a part of me that feels uneasy. I often get angry for no reason, and sometimes, I see the frustration on my husband’s face. I don’t know; maybe it’s just me.I try to hide these feelings because of our kids, especially since I’m still breastfeeding our youngest. With the children coming one after the other, I couldn’t return to work or pursue my dream of becoming a doctor. How could I when eight children need me all at once?We have nannies, but I can’t f
Sarina"Mommyyyy!!!" screamed my seven-year-old daughter, Chastity, as she ran towards me, crying. I was in the kitchen preparing snacks for them, so I left them in the living room with their nannies for a while."What's wrong, honey?" I asked worriedly."Channing keeps bullying me…" she complained, still in tears. Looking behind her, I saw my third child, who was about to turn six and is currently in grade one, scratching his head."What did you do to your sister, honey?" I asked him, motioning for him to come closer, which he did."I just told her that she doesn't look like us." I wanted to be angry at him, but I held back because I knew he was just a child and was only saying what he observed.In truth, Chastity is my exact replica. How I looked when I was young is exactly how she looks now—very different from how I look today. Meanwhile, all seven sons look like Maximus, so maybe that's why Channing thinks his sister doesn't look like anyone in the family.I took both of them by th
Sarina"Ma’am Sarina, are you okay?" I looked at Lisa, who was staring intently at me. Beside her were Rocel and Nanny Rowena, who used to be Chase's nanny and was now holding Chandler. They had their furrowed brows as they stared at me."Huh? Oh, yes, I'm okay." I smiled at them because they seemed worried about me. "Did you say something?" I asked."Rowena said she's going to take Chandler upstairs, along with Chanton and Chansen, to bathe them," she said."Oh, okay, Rowena. Thank you very much." The nanny nodded and smiled before leaving us. My sixth and seventh children were in the living room with another nanny, so she would pass by there. Chase, Chastity, Channing, Chanden, and Chancy were all in school. On mornings like this, it's usually just us left in the house."Ma'am Sarina, is something bothering you?" Lisa asked after Rocel also left us. She sat on a stool beside mine, and we were in the kitchen."Why do you ask?""I've noticed that something seems different about you. Yo
Sarina“Ma’am Sarina, please sit down and join them for breakfast. I’ll take care of whatever’s missing from the table,” said Rocel.“That’s right, Ma’am. We’ll handle packing their lunches, too,” added Lisa.“My wife, come here and eat. Once the three wake up, you won’t be able to eat properly again.” I smiled at my husband and sat beside him, starting to put food on his plate, but he stopped me.“What are you doing?” I asked, confused.“I told you to eat, not to take care of me or the kids.” As Maximus said this, he began putting food on my plate, which brought tears to my eyes.“Why are you teary, Mom?” asked Chastity.“Huh?” I said, surprised, and then smiled.“Because your daddy is so sweet. I was touched.” My children smiled at me, and I didn’t realize that Maximus had been watching me.“Is something wrong, my wife?” he asked.“Huh? No, nothing.” I stroked his cheek and smiled. I noticed him taking a deep breath before nodding, turning to the kids, and saying grace. We ate withou
SarinaI pretended I didn’t see anything because I didn’t want to entertain whatever was going through my mind. I walked out of the bathroom, carrying the clothes Maximus had taken off. My eyes quickly glanced at him, and just like before I went in, he was still holding his cell phone, looking at something that seemed important. Now and then, I’d catch him frowning before breaking into a wide smile.I walked over to the laundry bin and put on my nightgown. As usual, I went to the dresser to dry my hair.Sitting down, I looked in the mirror, took a deep breath, and began to comb my hair. I grabbed the hair dryer and turned it on, filling the quiet room with its noise. I glanced at Maximus through the reflection, but he remained focused on his phone. I figured he wouldn’t notice me, so I just continued what I was doing.I walked toward the bed and lay down beside him. Still, he didn’t acknowledge me or even glance my way, busy as he was with his phone. I was about to ask him something, b
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
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
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
