I leaned my back on the door, still sitting on the floor. My knees were tugged to my chest, my elbow wrapped around it. Although it was almost eight in the morning, I was still in my track, not ready to move until Sebastian and I conversed.

This morning, I was going to get all I needed. Every one of them. I wouldn't care if he was a controlling husband. All I knew was that I needed an explanation from him, and I was going to get it at any cost.

About thirty minutes ago, he had stood up from the bed, and went to the bathroom. Even though he knew I was sitting here, helpless, he ignored my presence, and only walked into the bathroom as if I was some kind of ant who had no emotions.

What if an ant had emotions too?

My eyes tingled, and my head cried. I hadn't slept last night. All I had done was to stare at the floor, remember everything everyone had told me, and be regretful. This was a really hard game.

Soon, a door sounded. Raising my neck to stare at it, I saw Sebastian. He walke

    Dreaded and vexatious, I kept looking at him. Also, he did the same. Our eyes were glued to each other like bread and peanut butter. He was angry, but all he did was to stupidly keep staring.Uninformed, he grabbed my arm with an ardent force, pulling me towards him."How dare you?!" He choked out.As if I was ready to hear him speak, I yelled back, "Shut up! Shut your fucking damn mouth!"Like I hadn't yelled before, this one literally made me so weak. My body shook as if my bone had broken. Just as fast I blurted that out, my heart beated at the same rate."How dare you hit me?" His teeth clenched, the thrust of his anger causing him to pant so terribly. "My parents haven't dared to do so. No one, absolutely no one, has dared to do so. Who gave you the courage to hit me? Tell me!" His body swatted as he yelled.I snorted. "You are terrible

    The expression I could read from his face was shock. It felt as if he didn't expect me to ever state that. And the thing was, did it mean he didn't want to get divorced to me? Or did it mean he was excited?What do you want, dude?Confused, I kept staring at him. Our eyes were locked on each other, none of us seeming to want to avert just yet. Soon, he took a step closer, and closer, and closer. His mouth and eyes were still widely open. And before I could say anything, he held my arm, pulled me to him, locking my small body into his chest. I gaped, blinking like a robot, stiffened in my posture. His hands slowly move to my back, then to my hair. "Adrienne," he called breathlessly, a bit of excitement in his voice. That was it. He was happy. "Thanks you so much." As he spoke, he laughed curtly as well. "Thanks. I'm so glad. Thanks for finally saying this. At least, I won't have to think of what to tell my mom."I knitted my eyebrows, confused. "Mom?" I enquired. He pulled away, but

  • Dominant Husband: Her worth   Twenty three: Fate

    Sitting in the small balcony of my room, I watched as the sun set in the azure sky of the evening. It was about six already, and I was well prepared for my journey to Florida. After a long thought on how to start a new life, Florida was my final decision on where to go. I just needed to leave this place. It only brought back bad memories.Seven years ago, I had sat in this same balcony, on this same old chair. Vividly, I could remember that Sebastian had been my seatmate in our chemistry practical class. We had worked together for two hours, and that had been more like a year to me. When I had gotten home that day, I couldn't stop telling Lauretta about his looks, and how he made my heart skip beats. If I had known they would be the ones to make my life miserable, I wouldn't have loved them so much.I felt something wet on my cheek, and noticing it was a crazy tear, I grunted a little. I had already promised myself that I wouldn'

    The beam of the sun sent a knock on my head, slowly jerking me from my sleep world. Tired, I threw a pillow over my head, grunting under it. I still had to sleep so badly. This should be about five in the morning, so how the heck was the sun up now?"Mommy," I mumbled, half asleep, squeezing my face, grunting further."Yo baby!" A voice cried. I could hear the person, but the sound was faint. "You don't wanna miss your first day, do you?"I hissed, pressed the pillow against my left ear, digging more into the bed. "Go 'way. I need some rest.""Fine!" The person snarled. "Rest all you want, ok? But ensure to remember I tried waking you up. If you blame me later, I'm gonna smash your boobs."Wait, what did she mean? What was I to remember? Was there some kind of—"Oh my gosh!" I flung the pillow from my head, sat up quickly, blinking like a confused

    Sebastian________Going through the files my personal assistant had dropped on my table, I frowned at myself, grunting at every minute. Today was one of the most terrible days of my entire life. Since the company I had wanted to work with had sent me a crazy email, I hadn't been fine."Sup?" My best friend, Ethan, jerked into my office, smiling widely like he just won a contest.Turning back to the file, I hissed. How could he be smiling while I was being frustrated?"Nothing's up. I'm only being so frustrated right now. Life's getting too stressful for me," I declared.He chuckled, sat on the seat on the other side of my well furnished wide table, then drummed his fingers on the table to obviously catch my attention."What?" I turned to him with lowered eyebrows, flustered at nothing specific.He sig

    Shocked, I moved my lips without uttering a word. And noticing that I looked stupid, I huffed. I couldn't say anything."You're silly." Adrienne chuckled, and tapped his arm. He raised his other hand, and pinched her cheek.What was all this? How could she be paying attention to him when a whole Sebastian Martinez was in front of her? Although I had huffed, she didn't even look at me. Was she that in love with him?Fine, he was tall and handsome. Amber brown eyes, fine pink lips, straight nose and nice brows, he all possessed. But that wasn't an excuse for her to not pay attention to me. For jeez' sake, a lot of girls cried to stay with me. So what was with her? Had she forgotten I used to be her husband? Couldn't she pay some respects?"Guess who's cute on her first day" the irritating guy uttered. I wanted to scoff, but that would seem rude. And wait, how could he feel so comfortable to

    Adrienne_______Sitting on the entrance in Claire's little house, I raised my knees to my chest, wrapped my arms around them, dropping my head in between them. To be honest, this day ended up being a really bad one for me.Fine. After I had told Sebastian to leave me, he had done so. In fact, although we sat kind of close to each other in class, he hadn't tried to disturb me. But, in a way, all of this made me feel bad and terrible. When he jerked my arm, it reminded me of how he worshipped my body that night. It reminded me of how he stated that all of those things were lust. It really made me so bitter.I sighed, then shut my eyes for a moment. Inhaling the cool breeze, I wrapped my arms around my body to form a temporary warmth. Staring at the dark sky, full moon and the stars was a habit I possessed whenever I felt so exhausted or frustrated. But when I had stayed with Sebastian, I hardly had time

    Slurping on my hamburger, I stared at Claire as she complained about her phone. All I'd say is that I was so confused. I didn't understand what was going on. She kept yelling at it as if it was some kind of living thing."Anything wrong there?" I enquired.Hissing, she took a glance at me. "I don't understand why this thing won't work. I'm so sick of the damn thing right now.""Let me see." I stood from my seat, walked into the kitchen, and took the phone from her.With a deep glare on her face, she tucked her arms around her chest, muttering."Maybe you need to take it to a phone technician. That won't cost much, will it?" I suggested.She sighed, shook her head, then took the phone from me. "Don't worry." Her voice was kind of sad. "I'll just wait till I'm able to get a new one. I don't have money now. And you know I won't wann

  • Dominant Husband: Her worth   Epilogue

    Months later…"Thank you so much!" I exclaimed. Standing up from the well furnished chair, I heaved a deep sigh, smiled from ear to ear. "I'm so happy to finally be a partner of this company. Thanks for accepting my proposal."Mr. Roland, the CEO of one of the most reputable companies in New York, stood up from his seat. Stretching his hand for a handshake, he returned my smile. "Congratulations. We hope to get great results from you," he said."I'll try my best." I took his hand. After our friendly handshake, I grabbed my purse from the glass that separated Mr. Roland and I, made my way out of his office, then out of the building.Closing my eyes, I inhaled the beautiful air of that afternoon, then smiled on opening them. Today wasn't my birthday alone, it was also my lucky day. First, the doctor had confirmed I was pregnant. And second, the company I wanted to wo

    Mom stared blankly at Sebastian and I. All I hoped was for her to accept this relationship. Well, there was a probability she'd accept it. She always said God forgives us for our sins, so we should learn to forgive others.Her eyes moved to Sebastian, then to me. "How did this get to happen?" I couldn't grasp the particular emotion on her face. She widened her mouth, looked at me. "How did he even get here? Am I the only one who finds this weird?""Ma, I used to think that too." I glimpsed at Sebastian, took his hand in mine, and smiled. "But I think fate purposely sent him to me. Whatever's meant for you, is meant for you."She sighed. "Honey, are you sure this is fine? I mean, I don't want you to… you know, have a heartbreak again."I could feel Sebastian wasn't comfortable with this conversation, so I just chuckled. "It'll be fine. I trust him now. And besides, we're so in love now. O

    Ethan stared at me like he was confused. He blinked four times, dropped his mouth. He wanted to speak, but it was as if something cut his throat."Seriously?!" He finally spoke, shock in his tone. "How did you guys break up? Wh-What happened?""I was stupid again," I mumbled. "I said I didn't trust him. So, can you please help me talk to him? Claire's not willing to help me do that.""Oh." He scratched the back of his neck, stood up from the couch. "It's quite late. I don't know if he's asleep.""Ah, oh!" I gasped, leaped from my seat, and looked so worried. "Did he drink alcohol?"He pressed his lips against each other, shook his head no."Good." I sighed in relief. Staring back at him, I batted my eyelashes, pulled a childish pout. "Go, please. He always listens to you, huh?"He chuckled. "Just go by yourself. And besides,"

  • Dominant Husband: Her worth   Fifty six: Stupid me.

    Claire_____"Right now…" Sebastian scoffed, bit his lips. "I'd rather stay with a pig, than come close to you. You're gross."After stating that to the damn mother-fucking Lauretta lady, he walked away, leaving her to gape. She muttered some things, glared at herself, rolled up her fingers into a fist.Angered, I scorned silently, and sauntered to her. "Hey, bitcho."Hearing my voice, she turned to me. With lowered brows, she gazed at me. "What? Who the heck are you?" She spat out."Claire Martinez." A smirk grew on my lips. I was flustered, but I just had to keep calm before I'd end up killing her."Oh. You're his sister?" She flared her nostrils, curved her ugly arms around her chest."Yes, bitch. His sister, and his helper. I—""You don't even look like the sister of tha

    I tightened my fist, glared at Lauretta, felt the need to hit her. When she had taken a glimpse sideways, I knew she had been up to something. She had probably seen Adrienne coming, so she had decided to pick up and act. But what was she going to gain from this?Tugging her arm, I yanked her close. "Did you do this on purpose?""Maybe." Her lips flipped up into a sneer."Why?" My voice was low, rough and weak. I was scared. So scared. Adrienne had said she “knew it”. What exactly did she know? Had she been doubting me? Had she— It was better to not think about that right now.She licked her lips, slowly raised her fingers to caress my jaw line. "Did I say anything wrong, huh? I'm truly tired of having to wait for you. This is the second time I've come to Florida. Why can't you see I want you? You've stopped giving me money, but that's not just it. I want you."&nb

    He stared hard. Reading his eyes, I saw hurt in them. Not just hurt, disappointment as well. It was as if he wasn't expecting this at all."What?" That left his lips in a whisper.I swallowed, and nodded. "That's it, Dave. Stop trying to get close to me. You like me, but I don't like you. Sebastian isn't the same person he used to be, so I decided to give him a chance. Stop causing a problem in my life by trying to get close. I don't want to feel sad for rejecting you. I… don't like you as a lover," I uttered.For a moment, his gaze was more intense. It felt like he didn't want to stop staring at all. What the heck was he looking at? The brown color of my eyes?His throat moved, up and down, then he stepped backwards. Lowering his head, his fingers rolled up into a fist. "I'm sorry for having to get close to you.""It's not a problem. You—"&

    Finally, she removed the test result from the envelope. For a moment, she stared at it comprehensively, and then, she sighed. "Oh, God," she muttered, dropping her hand on her chest. It was as if she was shocked, as well, it was as if she was relieved. What was the result?"Ma?" I tapped her shoulder. "What does it say?"Again, she sighed, stood up, and turned around to look at me. "It's negative." There was a smile on her face. I wanted to smile back at her, but I just couldn't. If I did, it would hurt Dave. Dave had once told me how important his locket was. He had said it made him feel like he wasn't so lonely as he truly was. He had said he never saw his mother, but she was close to his heart. So, now that this had to happen, wouldn't he be hurt that the woman he thought was his mom, wasn't? Ah, shit, why him?He stood up from his seat, looking quite hurt. Mom probably noticed how sad he looked, so she cupped his hands in hers. "Hey, dear." She smiled warmly at him. "I know h

    Adrienne_______Seeing how worried Dave seemed, I kind of felt disturbed. He looked tense and pale. In fact, his head was turning red. What could possibly be wrong with him?"Dave? Are you fine?" I asked again, but still, there was no reply from him. All he did was stare intently at mom. His mouth was dropped as well, his eyes broadly open. I saw tears in his eyes, and that worried me more."Adrienne," Mom called. She probably noticed him too.I turned to her, furrowed my eyebrows. "Yes, ma?""Is your friend okay?" I saw some kind of disturbance in her eyes.I sighed, turned to him. Taking a step closer, I tapped his arm, which made him flinch. "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?""A-Ady," he stuttered, finally looking at me. "A-are you sure she's your mom? Are you…" he swallowed, not saying any
