Thank you for reading! Take care everyone.
The following day. The couple ate breakfast together in the dining room. Axel eyed his wife, silently eating her food. "Let's discuss our alibi and why you went on a holiday alone. I'm sure they would ask you if we quarreled or not. It would be unwise to reveal our divorce plan during the birthday party. So how will you answer their question?" he asked curiously. "Why are you interested in what my answer will be?" Sherry said. "Because I'm still your husband even though you already found a new replacement for me," he said, trying to bait her into revealing her secret. Sherry breathed deeply. "I will tell my family that you are denying me sex, and I desperately want to have a baby with you. So after quarreling with you about it, I went for a holiday to clear my mind," she explained. Axel chuckled. "What? Are you going to tell them that lame alibi of yours?" "Why not? It's the truth! It happened before I went for a holiday, and you can't deny it!" She glared at him. Axel grinned a
The temperature inside the moving vehicle is like a dynamite ready to explode.The couple were trying to think of better things to say to each other because the air between them was getting unbearable.Sherry quickly turned on the car stereo, and the upbeat reggae music filled the air, slowly dissolving the tense atmosphere around them.Fifteen minutes later, Axel turned off the music.Sherry glared at him. "Why did you turn off the music? I like listening to it.""Let's talk about your guy. Tell me more about him," he said curiously."None of your damned business!" Sherry said wearily."Common, you had already seen Meghan. Why can't I see this guy of yours?" he asked, trying to get more information about the mysterious guy."No, you can't see him!" Sherry shook her head."It's unfair. You have already seen Meghan. Why can't I see your guy?" Axel insisted."Why do you want to see him? What for? You want him and me to break up? You want to tell him to leave me alone?" Sherry asked susp
The following day, the couple woke up to a new day; as the sun rose on the horizon, they left their bed and started their day.Sherry used the bathroom first, followed by Axel.Afterward, they leave the room to join the others downstairs.But Axel blocked the door. "Wife, we need to talk about something..."Sherry raised a brow. "What is it this time?"Axel pointed to the bed. "Just sit on the bed first, and I will tell you about my plans."Sherry sighed and obeyed his order. "Say it now," she said impatiently.Axel lowered himself on the chair and looked at his wife in the eyes. "Hon, give me one month. One month is all I need to fix this mess. All you need to do is hang on a little bit longer. I know I've been hard on you. I hurt you so bad. I'm sorry for that, I really do," he said thoughtfully.Sherry meets her husband's gaze with contempt. "So what do you want?""Let's just continue playing a loving couple for now. After I get the DNA test result of the baby, I will decide what's
Sherry woke up half an hour later. Wow, she sleeps nicely. Feeling recharged and energized, she went downstairs to the garden and stayed in the pool for the rest of the afternoon, waiting for Russell until he was ready for video chatting with her.Sherry lowered herself into the sun lounger and stared at the sparkling water in the pool. She planned to swim in the water later in the evening if she was still in the mood.Axel came into the pool area. "Wife, I'm going to Meghan's place to convince her to undergo paternity testing tomorrow in the hospital," he said. "I won't be sleeping here tonight," he added.Sherry nodded her head. "Goodluck! I hope the baby is yours, so you don't have to worry about that issue anymore," she stated."Thank you," Axel said and left the pool.After her husband was gone, Sherry took several photos of herself relaxing in the sun lounger. He sent the photo to Russell with the caption, 'Relaxing in the pool after Axel told me that he will spend the night wit
The following day, after breakfast, Axel informed his wife through text that he would only return home if the paternity testing was finished. Sherry replied with a short good luck message. Meghan and Axel get dressed to go to the hospital. Axel already had booked a schedule with his physician cousin, who oversees the paternity testing department in the St. Mary Of Mercy hospital. Their appointment will be at 10:00 in the morning. They are going to a public place, so Meghan has to wear a headwrap and oversized sunglasses to hide her face. They can't be seen entering the hospital together to avoid being seen by any of Axel and Sherry's family because it will create massive chaos. Since Axel is close to his cousin, he convinced him to keep his appointment a secret from their friends, families, and relatives. After explaining his side thoroughly, the cousin agreed that as long as no one sees them together entering the hospital and the room testing, then everything will be fine. Megha
Three days later. Axel was inside his office when he received a text message from his cousin informing him that he already had the paternity test result in his office. When he inquired about the outcome, his cousin told him to come to his office in the hospital to get the result. After informing his secretary that he would be gone for a few hours, he exited his office. He boarded his car and drove straight to the hospital. A few minutes later, he finally arrived at his destination after driving within the speed limit. Axel's heart was beating rapidly in his ribcage as he parked his car in the parking lot of the hospital. He hurriedly exited his vehicle and entered the building. With every step he took, his anxiety rose to the roof. He was nervous because his cousin didn't say anything about the result. Is the child his or not? He finally reached his cousin's office and entered it, his heart racing. Dr. Ford was sitting on his desk calmly. He raised his head and looked at Axel. "F
After a silent yet tense filled ride, Axel and Peter finally arrived at the majestic resort.Axel parked his car outside the driveway of the villa.Meghan rushed outside when she heard the sounds of Axel's car parking outside. She went to the car, excited to see him. To her surprise, not only Axel exited the vehicle, but Peter, as well.Confusion marred her pretty face. Huh? What's going on?"Why is he here?" she asked in puzzlement, looking at Axel then to Peter. A deep frown appeared on her forehead."Let's get inside," Axel replied grimly, heading to the door.Annoyed that Axel seemed to be ignoring her, she looked at Peter. "Why are you here? What are you doing here? We're already over a long time ago," she asked irritably.Peter sighed heavily. "You will know everything why I'm here. Let's just get inside the house," he said calmly, ignoring her cold reception of his presence.Annoyed, Meghan turned around and entered the villa, gritting her teeth angrily.They settled on the sof
After a long drive, Axel finally arrived home.He entered the mansion and saw Mae about to go upstairs, carrying a food tray. "What is the food for, Mae?" he asked the maid."It's for your wife, sir," replied Mae."Why? She doesn't like eating in the dining room?" he asked."She's not feeling well lately. I think she had a flu. She vomited the entire food that she had eaten during lunch. And she vomited last night as well. She also got a cold and sneezed quite a lot," Mae elaborated.Axel's brows creased. "Did she already take medicine?" he asked, climbing the staircase in a giant stride."Yes, I bought medicine from the pharmacy yesterday, and she's been taking it, but she's still feeling sick. But she has no fever, though," Mae explained.Axel was already at the top of the staircase, walking briskly towards the master's bedroom. When he entered the room, Sherry was lying on the bed, looking ill. He rushed to her side. "Are you OK? What happened to you?" he asked, touching her forehe
~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
