When she arrives at her cabin, Sherry can't get over her shock at meeting someone who bears a great resemblance to her husband.She began pacing back and forth on the floor. Do they have the same personality as well?Although it's not impossible for two people to look alike, seeing an actual double of her husband is kind of surreal.Of all the people in the world, she met Axel's look alike in the resort. Ugh! What a bummer!She took a deep breath.Wait a minute...Why is she even bothered in the first place? She and that guy were not even on friendly terms; they just met here on the ship and they might not cross paths again.That Russell guy doesn't mean anything to her, so why would she let his presence affect her mood?Visibly shaken, she went to the balcony and sank into the chair, looking at the wide ocean surrounding the ship, trying to free herself from being so worked up upon meeting a guy who looked similar to her husband.She spent the rest of her time on the balcony, got bac
~Green Mansion~Axel was replaying the video that his wife had sent him. She was wearing a sexy outfit, dancing on the dance floor surrounded by men and holding a glass of alcohol.Oh my God! She looks drunk!Those men will eat her alive! One of them might put a drug in her drinks and she was done for the night. Worse, she will get kidnapped and taken somewhere.He has been calling Sherry for the past few minutes but she has not answering. Where is she?Was she still there in the night club? She didn't inform him that she had already arrived at her destination.His heart was filled with worry for his wife's safety.He needs to know if she is okay.He called her again, but this time she was already responding to his call. Thanks goodness!"Hello," she said in a sleepy tone."Where are you? You made me worried. Answer me!" Axel shouted."Relax, I'm still alive!" Sherry replied calmly."Thanks God! Where are you now? Are you still in the night club?" Axel inquired."No. I'm in my room ri
Sherry was confused about what to say to him since she already had plans to leave the resort this morning. She could tell him a lie and she wouldn't die. "Sure, no problem," she replied with a nod.Russell smiled sexily. "I love how you learn fast, sweetie. We could be dancing tonight in each other's arms all night long. You know what I mean," he said with a wink, hinting at where their relationship is going if she continues cooperating with him.Sherry swallowed the lump in her throat. "Um, you already finished eating. Can we leave now? I want to go back to my room.""Sure," Russell said, standing up.Sherry rose to her feet and walked to the door. She was surprised when she realized that Russell was still walking beside her. "Um, aren't you going back to your room?" she asked."I will go back to my room after accompanying you to your room. Don't worry, I just want to see you back in your room safely, then I'll take my leave," he explained.Dang. Sherry groaned inwardly. He is gettin
Russell swam after Sherry, feeling worried that she would experience leg cramps again.Sherry wasn't able to get far from him because her cramps returned again. She gasped, her face contorted in pain as excruciating pain gripped her leg. She looked at Russell with tears in her eyes. "The cramp is back," she said, misty-eyed.Russell reached her side. "I got you, sweetie. Just relax and worry no more. I will never leave your side," he said softly, wrapping his arms around her waist and pressing their bodies closer together."Thank you," she said in a grateful one. To her, it was a huge relief because she feels protected and safe in his arms. That was the moment when something changed inside her when it came to her perception of Russell.She was astounded when he planted a kiss on her head. A warm feeling wrapped around her heart. She looked into his eyes, pain forgotten for a moment. "Why did you kiss me?"Russell smiled. "I just feel like kissing you is a natural thing to do. I'm sorr
One hour later, Sherry's eyelashes fluttered. She opened her eyes wide and came face-to-face with Russell. He was looking at her intensely."Awake now, sweetie?" he asked, looking at her sleeping form like a precious baby.She smiled. "Yeah. Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked, amused.He caressed her cheeks. "I think I'm falling hard for you. Can you feel it too?"She giggled. "OMG! Why are you so damn serious?""Because I am. I really do. I want to take our relationship to the next level," he said in a serious tone.Her eyes widened in shock. "Whaaat?""Let's live under one roof like husband and wife and see if we are comfortable with each other. It's like trial and error. A living arrangement, a prelude before we get married. We can get married if you can tolerate my attitude and quirks, and I am certain I can endure anything you throw at me. I will provide everything you need during the three months that we're living together," Russell said in an animated tone.Sherry
Russell observed Sherry's face. He's been serious with her but he noticed some doubts flashing in her eyes. "Sweetie, I'm sorry that I've been pressing you so much regarding my intention towards you. But there is a saying that if you find the one, don't let that person go, because if you do, he or she might no longer be yours. You understand what I mean?"Sherry only saw honesty and sincerity in his eyes, and she appreciated that from him. He is the kind of man who knows what he wants and is determined to get what he wants. She feels that he is the perfect guy for her because they are both loyal to the one they love.She smiled broadly. "I think we are compatible because when we fall hard, we stick with that person, thick and thin. Am I right?""Yeah, of course, sweetie. That is why we should be together. I know that you already accepted my proposal to live with me to see if we are compatible with each other. But sometimes I have the feeling that I'm the only one who is serious about
That afternoon, the couple was inseparable, like newlyweds. They were happy and they discovered that they had a lot in common, which made them a perfect couple.They went swimming in the pool, went to the gym and watched a movie together. They chose a comedy movie to watch and ended up laughing their hearts out. They filled the living room with their merry laughter.Russell gazed at Sherry with love shining in his eyes. "I feel like we have known each other for a long time," he commented casually.Sherry agreed, "Yeah. We have a lot of things in common."Then Russell's face went serious. "Sweetie, can you extend your holiday? You are booking for 7 days only. I hate to see you go home too soon. Don't leave my side, please. Can you extend your holiday to one month? I will provide you with anything. You can stay here at my place for free," he offered generously.Sherry sighed. She was conflicted inside. She doesn't want to leave him yet. She felt that the time they had spent with each ot
Sherry cried hopelessly in his loving arms. She can't stop trying because the tears are too strong to stop. She hadn't cried for several days after meeting Russell."Sweetie, why are you crying? What's going on? Is something wrong back home?" He asked again, wiping the tears from her face with his handkerchief. Seeing his lady love cry hopelessly in his arms breaks his heart into pieces.She raised her tear-stricken eyes to him. "I don't want to go home yet. I'm scared that my parents will force me to stay married to Axel, and they won't agree to the divorce," she said in between tears. The fear of hurting the people she loves so much was weighing heavily on her conscience. It's like a heavy cross that she has to carry on her shoulder every day."Shhh, calm down. Your parents can't do anything if you and your husband want to dissolve the marriage," Russell expressed his opinion."You don't understand. Our parents arranged the marriage between me and Axel. It's an arranged marriage—an
