Maeve wanted to ran and hide from all the attention she was getting as she walked down the halls of the MBC building.
Almost everyone's staring with a confused and questioning look on their faces. They were all used to see September Thorne around the office but they had never seen their CEO walked hand-in-hand with the notorious business man.
"Are they finally together?" Maeve heard someone whispered which was immediately shushed by someone else.
"Let go." She hissed at him quietly as she tries to free her hands from his tight grip. She almost sighed in relief when he let her hand go, but it was short-lived since it was immediately replaced with surprise as he put his arms around her waist and pulle
That Small and VagueMoments"Hey, there's a package meant for you." September said as he entered their room with a medium sized box wrapped in a fancy silver paper in his hands."Open it." Maeve ordered as she brushed her hair in front of the vanity mirror."Okay." Her husband dutifully heeded to her words and put the box on the top of their bed before he took a seat beside it and started tearing the wrappers."Uhmm... Maeve?" September called out awkwardly as he stared at the contents of the box."Hmm?" His wife, who was busy applying some night cream on her face was very oblivious to the embarrassment coming.
Big ShotIt was the day for the anniversary celebration of the MBC Bank and Finance. The company is already a well-known and trusted company when it comes to finances but due to the poor management led by Mason Smith, the company suffered great losses.But now that the company is now handled by Maeve Miller, the only daughter of the company's founder, Genevieve Miller, it is now back on its top spot in the industry.The faces if well-known business people around the hall of the venue where the event was held was enough evidence to prove that MBC had really reclaimed it's place."Mr. Sy, it's nice to see you!""It's good to see you, too, Mr. Thomas." The old
Celeste Quintaña"Are they really married?" One of the young heiresses in the party solemnly asked. She was standing in the crowd with another group of heiresses who once and still is wishing to be on Maeve's position.It was no surprise how these young and beautiful women eyed September Thorne as a material husband. For who knows what reasons, but women are actually more drawn to men with a bad boy image. Plus, the man of the subject is also undeniably handsome and filthy rich, who wouldn't like to be his wife?"Maeve Miller dropped the bomb earlier and September didn't have any objections. And didn't you see how affectionate he is towards her?" One of the heiresses responded as they watched the couple graced the event hall with their overwhelming pres
The Only Friend"Oh. Where's my manners. I'm Celeste Quintaña. Nice meeting you," Celeste introduced with a huge smile as she face Maeve who's now sporting a playful grin on her pretty face."And I guess, I don't have to introduce myself?" Celeste grinned sheepishly before nodding a bit as she shifted her attention to September."Well, how can I not know about you when this guy calls me just to talk about you." She blurted out, not minding her friend's warning glare towards her.Maeve raised her eyebrow in curiosity as she briefly stole a glance at her husband before turning back to the lady in front of them."I hope it's not all bad?" Celeste scoffed
Lights Out"MBC Bank and Finance is a trusted financial help assurance in the industry. It was founded by Genevieve Miller almost fifteen years ago with the hopes of helping the city cope up with the recession that almost dragged the city's economy to dust." The emcee started as pictures of how MBC developed through the years was shown in a projected slideshow presentation.The whole venue was quiet as the lights were turned off to give more emphasis on the show going on at the stage."Last year, MBC experienced one of its biggest setback. We solemnly admit that we had lost a huge numbers of clients and gained numerous trust issues from some prospects." The emcee paused for a bit to let his audience absorb everything first.
When the Queen is not around, the King is on arampage"Where's Maeve?" Celeste asked once again as panic started to consume her. She hadn't catch even a glimpse of her friend's wife after the lights went on. And having the emcee lying on his own blood on the very stage where Maeve used to stand before the lights went off is not helping either."Why are you so calm?! Your wife's nowhere to be found!" She lashed out. But September just coldly turned to her."Do I looked calm to you?" He asked back. When Celeste was about to retort back, she caught her friend's eyes and realized what was brewing in there. She almost took a step back because of the violent assault that was written in his eyes.
I KnowA week before the MBC's Anniversary Celebration."Hon..." Maeve automatically turned around to face September briefly before she returned her gaze back at the stove where she was cooking their dinner.She had long been accustomed to this endearment of his and now it just sounded so natural to her."Hmm?" She hummed in question when September didn't spoke after calling out to her. She stirred the food one more time before she adjusted the fire and covered the pot to let the food boil for a while. She then walked back to the high chairs by the kitchen counters where her husband was seated."What is it?" She inquired as she sat at the high chair next to
Game of Manipulation"Sir," September turned to one of his men who held a guy by the collar.The guy looks like in his mid-twenties. He was wearing a waiter's uniform. He looked terrified as he meet September's gaze."What's with him?" He asked as he silently scrutinize the guy in front of him."Found suspicious messages from his phone." The man in black suit answered as he raised the man's phone and immediately handed it over to September.September left a lingering gaze at the guy in front of him before he opened the phone to check. Everyone around them were watching, some were petrified, some were amused and some were just plain curious.
September's End"September!" September came rushing to their room holding a spatula when he heard his wife calling out to him.He was wearing a pink apron with a huge heart print in the middle. The words 'Best Dad in the World' was printed with large letters inside the heart."What's wrong, hon?" He asked worriedly as he walked over their bed where Maeve with a nine months old tummy was panting hard."I think she's coming out!" She said and once again screamed in agony as she felt another contraction.September's eyes widened as he hastily put the spatula by their table side as he called for his eldest."Yes, Dad?" Fiona who was now seven, looked at her parents with questioning eyes as she enter the master bedroom."Fiona, please prepare your mom's bag and the baby bag too. And please hurry, wake up Freazel too," he instructed as he carried the panting and groaning wife out of their room."It's alright
A Baby?!September was planting soft kisses on Maeve's bare shoulder as they laid on the bed with nothing but a thick blanket covering their bodies.Maeve was silently smiling with her eyes closed as she enjoy bathing with her husband's presence."How did you found out about the Kims?" He asked after another blissful moment.Maeve turned and faced September who was now staring directly at her eyes. She gently caressed his face with her fingers."I have my ways," ahe said playfully."And you still won't tell me about it?" Maeve shook her head with a smile."That's my ace, hon. If ever you do something on ny back I'll know." September's arms snake down her bare waist and pulled her closer to his body."Do something like what?""Like having a mistress," she said as she rained kisses on his face."That wouldn't happen."Maeve stopped playing around and just rested her forehead against his."R
Back Into His Arms"You look tense, sir." Falcon pointed out as he gave September a quick glance at the backseat.They were now on the way back to his house.His home."You're really not a part of this?" September asked suspiciously for the nth time.Falcon chuckled and shook his head as his eyes remained on the road."For the nth time, I wasn't. I'm not aware of this play your wife had set up, okay? Besides even though she did inform me about this, I would still say it to you. My loyalty's with you and not with your wife." September just smirked at the butler's sneaky response.He took a deep breath when he finally saw his house from a distance. He don't know what to expect. Would they act like before? Would it be awkward?"We're here," Falcon stopped the car in front of the huge house before looking at his boss through the mirror.September gazed outside the window, he nervously took a deep brea
Surprise Gift"During the sudden change of management, we had also conducted an investigation with each employee and stakeholders of the company," Chris recited in front of the board members while his lady-boss was busy doing something on her phone.Maeve's face looked passive and uncaring which makes the people inside feel more fear and caution towards her.She was the only one who can bring in the seven bosses of the business industry as mere board members anyway, who wouldn't fear her?But little did everyone knew, Maeve was busy texting on the phone. It was last night when September called her for the first time after the scene of her asking for divorce.She can still remember how startled she was seeing September's number flash on her mobile screen.They just asked each other how they were doing. September never asked about anything regarding the reason why she did all of it and why they need to be apart fo
I Know My WifeSeptember was busy towing the soil in the garden when he heard the familiar sound of a car parking in front of the apartment.With a smile, he took off his gloves and washed his hands before leaving the garden to open the door after the doorbell rang."Daddy!" Fiona squealed cheerfully as she jumped into her father's arm."How's my princess?" September asked sweetly after the child rained his face with tiny kisses."I missed you soooo bad!" September chuckled with her antics before he turned his attention to the woman who brought his daughter back to visit him again."And what excuse did you use this time?" He asked Celeste after Fiona's attention was suddenly stolen by Terius, the golden retriever he adopted a month ago."Nah. I just took her from your house. Maeve was out for a meeting and only the hired nanny was there to keep an eye on her." September gaped at his friend after hearing tha
When a Queen leads a War"Remus," The tech guy immediately turned his swivel chair to face Maeve who just entered his dark office."Tss. Put the lights on, asshole.""You're now a married woman and raising a three year old daughter but still foul-mouthed as ever." Remus said as he clicked the control of lights under his desk."Wow. This looks like a pig pen," Maeve said as she looked around the messy office with a disgusted face."Does Celeste even knew you work like this?" She asked as she tossed the unknown items seated at his couch that used to be there for guests."Yah! I thought your husband's the manipulator! How did you know about my girlfriend?!" Remus asked with an astonished and unbelieving expression."Now I understand why you had to keep the lights off. This is gross, Remus." She complained, changing the subject as she kick away some chords that were scattered on the floor."N
To End YouFalcon's expression changed after hearing September's words. The coordinator didn't know what to do as he cluelessly stared at the two powerful men."Please do announce that the wedding is cancelled," September said as he shifts his attention to the coordinator.He saw the coordinator's lips parted in shock before he nodded and went back to the arranged area."What's inside the envelope?" September asked after they were left alone."Your properties that had been transferred to Maeve's name." September stared at him as if asking what's wrong with that."All of your properties, September. Everything. She left you with nothing but a complex apartment in the city.""What?""Yes, September. Your wife took everything from you." Falcon said with a serious expression.Meanwhile, Maeve was pacing back and forth in their bedroom. Her eyes were stinging as she held the phone in her
TragicThe whole placed looked so lively as kids dressed in white and pastel fairy gowns ran around while being chase by those little boys who were wearing pastel colored tux as well.The garden looks so magical as it was decorated with vines like materials and colorful flowers.The cheerful sounds of laughter and discussions from the guests also filled the place with liveliness.September smiled as he looked down from the balcony of the room he was using. A few hours from now, he'll be meeting his wife in the altar.He'll finally see the prettiest bride he'd ever see as she walked down the aisles to him. He knows that they were already married and this was just for formality to some people. But to him, today would be the start of their true marriage."Daddy!" September turned around to face his daughter who just came inside the room with Falcon's daughter. They were both wearing the same style of fair
Wedding Dress"Today's my schedule for fitting my gown. Are you free? Can you join me?" Maeve asked as she carefully choose what suit September should wear today.She was torn between the ash-gray glossy suit and the dirt-brown one.September silently watched her solve her mini dilemma with a smile. He was leaning by the closet waiting for his wife to finally decide what would be his outfit for today."So? Are you free?" She asked looking up to him for a few seconds before returning her attention back to the clothes she was holding."I can squeeze it before lunch,""Great. Then you should wear this," he chuckled when she finally put the brown one back to the closet and neatly placed the ash-gray suit on the bed.Maeve turned to him and clinged her arms around his nape. She rested her forehead to his and let their noses meet."Love you..." She whispered which made September smile."
