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
The following day, the couple spent their time bonding in the morning and snorkeling in the afternoon. They then had a mind-blowing dry humping at night. They were happy and wild, like honeymooners on their dream vacation.In just a few days, they become inseparable and closer to each other, with no dull moments when they are together, all fun, and no tears. They show each other much love and attention because their days together are numbered.Sherry no longer wants to leave the island and face her troubles at home.Russell was reluctant to let Sherry go because he had a foreboding feeling that something was about to happen that would jeopardize their happiness. He can feel it in his guts.The day has finally come for Sherry to go home.They were having a picnic near the beach, in a secluded place on the island that was off-limits from the guests of the resort.Although it was a beautiful spot to admire the ocean view, the atmosphere between the couple is pensive. They were feeling bl
In the next few days, the couple went cruising, bathing on the beach, swimming in the pool, snorkeling, and exercising in the gym together. They even baked cakes together in the kitchen, and the experience was both hilarious and unique.Every night, they watched movies together. Then, they make love every time the need arises.They are a happy couple living in their little paradise. In their minds, they were imagining a happy married life down the road and raising beautiful children together.The couple was relaxing and watching TV in the living room on Tuesday evening because Sherry would finally board the ship that would take her back to the city the next day."I don't want to go home!" Sherry whined, her face contorted in misery.Russell sighed. "Then don't go home. Stay with me forever and ever.""If only I could do that, I would. I don't have a choice. I must go home whether I like it or not," she cried in despair. "How I wish I met you sooner and married you instead of my cheate
After office hours, Axel visited Meghan in the condo; when he arrived there, he was shocked to see a guy in the living room, and worse, he caught the guy and his beloved Meghan sitting so close to each other on the couch, almost touching. Jealousy blinded him for a moment. He wanted to punch the guy in the face.His blood boils to the roof. "Who the hell is this guy?"The guy and Meghan looked at Axel with a surprised look on their faces.Meghan quickly sprang from the couch and rushed to his side, her body trembling. "Babe, why are you here? I thought you would go home early today because your wife has already returned? Did she already sign the divorce papers?" She secretly signaled the guy to leave immediately."Who is he?" Axel demanded an answer, wanting to know the identity of the guy. A suspicion arose, telling him something fishy was happening between the two."Um, how do I explain this?" Meghan scratched her head in great distress.The guy rose to his feet and met Axel's gaze.
Suddenly, the smile on Peter's face was gone the moment Axel mentioned the spiral.He smiled bitterly, shaking his head. "Sometimes, when men are in love, they lower their guard down, lose track of time, lose their concentration and priorities in life, and only focus on the happiness that a woman brought into their lives. We travel a lot, visit exotic destinations, and Meghan would ask me money to buy expensive bags, shoes, and other women's luxurious addictions.""Until one day, I realized my business was tanking because I had already used the money to finance our extravagant lifestyle. The old me is lost, and the new me rules the world. That is my weakness. And if I can only turn back time, I would never fall in love with Meghan because she is the reason why I lose focus on my life's vision. Now, the only thing left in me is a broken heart and a bankrupt business," Peter said in a wretched tone, looking depressed and broken.Axel stared at Peter for a long time, trying to analyze whe
~Nine Months Later~ One sunny day. Inside one of the private rooms of Silver Lake Hospital, Kristina and Russell welcome their first child, a healthy baby boy. Feeling amazed and proud, Russell can't get his eyes off his son. He looks so healthy and big. Tears of happiness shimmered in his eyes while cradling his beloved firstborn. Kristina smiled radiantly. Seeing the father and son bonding skin to skin was a dream come true for her. "Is he sleeping now?" she asked. Russell looked at Kristina and replied, "Yes, he is. He's still a day old. He will keep sleeping for now and only wake up if he's hungry. That's what the nurse told me." "OK. Give our son to me if he is already awake so I can breastfeed him," Kristina said, smiling brightly. She loves being a mother for the first time and getting closer to the guy she fell in love with in such a short time. She hoped he wouldn't discard her easily, knowing she came from a humble beginning, not wealthy like him. Russell continues gazi
Two months later.At 9:00 in the morning, Sherry went to the hospital to fetch her husband. She settled the hospital bills first before going to her husband's room. Three days ago, Axel had finished his physical therapy and was given a go signal to go home by his therapist.When Sherry arrived at the room, Axel already finished packing his things. Clara and Edd went home yesterday to oversee the welcome party they had prepared for their son, starting at 3:00 in the afternoon today."Everything is pack already?" Sherry asked, looking at the two bags in the corner."Yes, hon! I can't wait to go home. I miss home!" Axel gushes excitedly."Alright, if nothing else, let's go home," Sherry said, heading to the door.Suddenly, Axel hugged Sherry tightly. She looked at his face, surprised by his blatant display of affection. "What are you doing?" she asked.Axel planted a kiss on her head. "I miss you. I just want you to know that I'm grateful that you no longer want to divorce me. I apprecia
After entering Russell's penthouse, Kristina's eyes widened in admiration, dazzled by the incredible luxurious place. "Wow, your place is amazing!" she gushes in delight. "I'm glad you like my man cave. Feel at home," Russell said, plopping down on the couch. Kristina lowered herself onto the comfy couch and continued roaming her eyes around the place equipped with modern appliances and amenities. "Do you like to swim in the pool?" Russell offered. "Yes! Show me your pool!" Kristina replied in a thrilled voice. "Follow me." Russell left the couch and walked towards the pool area. Kristina followed him to the pool area. When they arrived there, she smiled ecstatically. "Wow, your pool is amazing! We can see the view of the entire island here! Fantastic view!" she raved in elation. They settled on the sun loungers. Russell poured the bottle of tequila cocktail drink into the two glasses. "Have a drink," he said, handing the glass to his beautiful companion. "Thank you, Sir!" Kri
She looked into his eyes and said, "Alright, I will no longer divorce you but on one condition..." Axel grinned happily. "I agree to all your conditions as long you will no longer divorce me." Sherry rolled her eyes, amused by his reaction after she told him her condition. Her husband is desperate to keep her by his side, no matter the cost. "Alright, we will talk about this matter after you come home. Today is not the right time to discuss family affairs," she said, dropping the topic quickly. "OK, I understand," Axel said, agreeing to his wife's decision to continue discussing their marital condition some other time. The couple bonded with their adorable twins in the bed. The babies' and their parents' joyous laughter filled the room, bringing joy to everyone's hearts. The parents hoped that today's family reunion could be the start of the couple's reconciliation. Sherry, her mother, and the twins stayed in the hospital until early evening. Clara ordered delicious dishes for di
One week had already passed since he last talked to Sherry. Russel was fighting the urge to call Sherry or send her a heartfelt message. He was expecting that she would beg him to reconcile with him. Unfortunately, she never sent him a message of reconciliation. Has she just forgotten him like that? As in? That hurts really bad! He thought he was very special in Sherry's heart. Why didn't she message him for reconciliation? Russell shook his head, feeling sad and disappointed that the woman he genuinely loved moved on quickly from their breakup as if he didn't exist in her heart. He can do the same if she can move on quickly from their broken relationship. He hated to admit that he did miss her so much, but he also got his pride and ego to think about. No! He won't call or message her asking for a reconciliation. He broke up with her, so be it! He will never back out from his decision. It's final! He will never wait for her. Now that he finally manages to break free from his obse
One week later.Sherry was still holed up in the house, not in the mood to leave the mansion. She didn't even bother to buy a new phone, she didn't care about what her husband think about her silence, and she didn't attempt to chat with Russell through her tablet either.The only thing she cares about are the twins, eating ice cream, and chocolates, binging on foods she likes ordering on home delivery service, and watching films and documentaries on TV.For a brief period of time, she managed to create a world without men in her life and she is doing great. She wants to show Russell that she can move on quickly from their failed relationship despite the pain she felt inside.Sherry was busy checking out baby dresses for her twins on her favorite online store while her mother and Mae put baby clothes and diapers in the bags.Vikki glanced at her daughter and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to come with us to the hospital to visit your husband?"Sherry shook her head. "No. I'll go t
In his penthouse in the Heaven & Sea Restaurant, Russell stared at the sex doll lying on his bed that he named Sherry.'Sweetie, I hate to part with you. Now that your twins and I are no longer in a relationship, I must ditch you. If I keep you in bed, you always remind me of her. I won't be able to forget Sherry, and I can't move on if you always remind me of her. So I have to get rid of you. I'm sorry..." Russell picked up the sex doll, hugged it tightly for the last time, and then put it back in her box.He put the sex doll in the storage room. He will decide later what to do with the doll. He can't throw it in the trash bin because somebody might find it and get interested in using it for personal pleasure. He can't bear having another man using the doll because it's made with Sherry's image.Maybe he will bury the doll a few months later. Not now, because he and Sherry just broke up, the pain still fresh in his heart and mind.Right now, he's not
Russell was drinking hard liquor while reading Sherry's long messages repeatedly. He recalled that he was pissed last night after he learned that Sherry's husband had woken up from his coma.He was disappointed because he was expecting that Axel would never recover from the coma and that one day, he would pass away quietly. After his passing, he and Sherry could finally be together again. But now that Axel woke up, it could only mean one thing: he must wait a long time before reuniting with Sherry. God knows when.How annoying! It made his blood boil. He was enraged that he had to wait over and over again. It's like a repetitive, annoying cycle that never ends.His relationship with Sherry looks impossible now. She had her twins and a paralyzed husband to take care of.He realized that Sherry may not be the right woman for him. He sincerely falls in love with her and deeply cares for her, but things have changed, and he is beginning to see their relations
The following day, Sherry woke up to a sunny day. But her world is about to get darker.She checked her phone, but not a single message from Russell; instead, she got a morning greeting from her husband. She was distraught because Russell always greeted her good morning. He never fails until now.She wanted him to greet her first, so she wouldn't greet him good morning today, no matter what. Their chat last night ended poorly. She was still upset right now. She wants him to prove his love to her.She knew Russell was complaining about how hard their situation was, but what could she do? She is a married woman.Damn!It seemed the thing that she feared the most
