Sarina POV:Oh no, what was that feeling? Was this how it was supposed to feel? I wasn't exactly innocent—I had been intimate with my ex-boyfriend before, though we hadn't gone all the way. However, Maximus' touch gave me a completely different sensation. "You were saying, love?" Maximus asked. I had my eyes closed because of the sensation his fingers were causing, but I quickly opened them when I heard his voice. "Oh… Lisa's donut was delicious," I said, probably blushing hard. Thankfully, he couldn't see me. "Was it really the donut that was delicious?" he teased, grinning at me. Damn, why did it feel like he could see me with that grin? If I hadn't known from the start that he was blind and in a wheelchair, I'd have thought he was playing a prank on me. But even the housemaids knew what had happened to him. "Yeah, try some!" I said, forcing the donut into his mouth. I had to shove it in because his grin was seriously getting annoying. "L-Love, n-not
Sarina's POV:The nerve of that jerk! There I was, sitting at a table in the same coffee shop where I had once bought coffee for that pervert, Maximus, watching him talk to that woman—Miranda.She was dabbing at her eyes like she was crying, but there wasn't a single tear in sight. Just because Maximus couldn't see her didn't mean no one else would notice her act.Miranda was Maximus' ex-girlfriend. She had dumped him the moment she found out about his condition. She probably thought he'd never walk or see again, so she bolted faster than she could say "goodbye."Well, I'm just guessing. Maybe she wasn't happy because Maximus couldn't satisfy her anymore, so she left. If she only knew how much of a pervert he still was, she might've stuck around.I couldn't take it anymore. I got up and walked over to them. Miranda shot me a death stare, but as if I cared."Aren't you done yet?" I asked, my voice sharp."Sorry, love. We're finished talking now," Maximus said as he backed his w
Sarina's POV:"Try leaving me again, Sarina, and you'll see what you're truly looking for," Maximus said, his voice laced with anger.I ignored him, scrolling through my phone."Are you even listening?" he demanded, frustration clear in his tone, but I remained unfazed.Why should I care about someone who valued others' opinions over my feelings?He had just returned from the hospital, and as soon as Aries—who had brought him home—left, Maximus began lecturing. Did he really think his fury would affect me?"Sarina!" he shouted."Don't yell at me!" I snapped.He probably thought I'd let him treat me this way just because we had supposedly settled our issues."If I see Miranda again, I'll do it all over again. Just tell me now if you're going to let her flirt with you, so I don't have to keep tagging along," I said sharply."Are you jealous?" he asked, as if that was the issue.I nearly laughed at the absurdity but held it back."Jealous? Why would I be? Who do you think you
Sarina's POV:"Love, I need to go to the office," Maximus said.It was Monday morning, and we were having breakfast.I had prepared it since Lisa wasn't around—she had something important to attend to for her child. That was fine, though, as I knew my way around house chores."Okay," I replied shortly, continuing to eat."Are you still mad about what happened last week?" Maximus asked."I have no right to be mad," I answered."Come on, love, I've already explained.""I'm just saying, since you've paid me, you can do whatever you want. As long as, after a year, our contract is done," I said, taking the last bite of my eggs and sipping some water.I was taking my time eating because, after each bite, I had to feed my husband.Honestly, there was no real issue—I understood his situation and wasn't the kind of person to neglect him. So, even though I had been annoyed with him for a week, I couldn't stay mad for long."Stop reminding me about our contract. I didn't force you. Aft
Sarina's POV:"Grandma," Maximus greeted.We were at the condo, and his grandmother had just arrived.I felt awkward, unsure of what to do as she stared at me, particularly at my hand, which was being held by Maximus."Good morning," I greeted her as well, not wanting to seem disrespectful.Ruth raised an eyebrow before turning to Maximus. "How are you, sweetie?" she asked as she sat on the couch next to Maximus' wheelchair.I sat on the other side, feeling like we were in some sort of love triangle."As you can see, I'm perfectly fine. My wife takes good care of me," Maximus replied."Well, she should, since she's getting paid to do it!" Ruth quipped.Ouch! No warning at all.If she weren't elderly, I would've fired back."Grandma—"Ruth interrupted, "What? It's the truth! Do you really think she'd work this hard if there wasn't money involved? She better do her job properly, or I'll report her to the nurse's association.""Sarina is my wife, Grandma," Maximus corrected
Sarina's POV:"Congratulations, Mr. Salonga!" his therapist exclaimed as he finally managed to walk normally.I was genuinely happy for Maximus—it had been tough for him to sit in a wheelchair, unable to do the things he wanted.I was also looking forward to his upcoming eye surgery.The surgeon, who was coming from another country, had already arrived, and according to my husband, Aries had faced challenges in locating him."Oh dear, this calls for a celebration!" Ruth declared."Miranda will surely be overjoyed," she added, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes.Ever since Ruth arrived, Miranda had been tagging along everywhere we went. She freely visited the condo, and it annoyed me even more that my husband didn't seem to mind her presence, especially when his grandmother wasn't around."Hi!" came the high-pitched squeal of the devil herself.I turned to her and positioned myself in front of my husband, certain she was about to throw herself at him."What do you think you'
Sarina's POV:I headed to Maximus' room after my conversation with Jason, and fortunately, the two witches were no longer there.Where could they have gone?"Are you done?" I asked Maximus, who sat in his wheelchair, gripping his phone tightly as if he were waiting for something—something that was clearly making him angry.Why? At whom? With me?"Where have you been?" His voice struck me strangely, carrying a tone I couldn't quite decipher."Just outside. I told you I wouldn't be going home, didn't I?" I replied. "Where's your family?""If you were just outside, why don't you know where they are?" he shot back."I didn't realize I was supposed to watch them too," I retorted."You were looking at them, weren't you? You said you were just outside, so you should've known they left a while ago." His tone was unmistakably angry."Are you upset about what happened earlier?" I asked."Let's go home, Sarina," he said as he stood up.There was something different about him now that
Sarina's POV:Maximus lifted my clothes, and in his apparent hurry, I raised my arms, allowing him to remove them.His hand then grasped my small breasts, eliciting a moan as his fingers played with my sensitive nipples."Ahh..."I felt him shift, my back pressing against the bed as he positioned himself over me.I didn't know what to do now that it was clear he was about to claim what he had paid for. He kissed me, and I could feel the intensity behind it.Why did it feel like anger? Was he upset because of how I'd spoken to his grandmother and ex-girlfriend?His lips slowly traveled from my cheek down to my neck until they reached my breasts. He then took one of my breasts into his mouth, and I arched my back, my hand tugging at his hair.The warmth of his breath and the teasing of his tongue on my nipple sent electric shocks through my body."Does it feel good, Sarina?" he asked."Yesss... love..." I moaned again, but then he suddenly stopped, making me look at him. He was
