“You will don’t know what will I feel if your parents blame me for anything happened to you because of being willful,” she heard him repeated the sentence. The butterflies she felt in her stomach immediately faded and changes into a pain inside her.“Didn’t I told you to stop going with any men?” he added while walking, he paused when his wife didn’t reply at him and turned his head, he saw her sitting on the ground and seems to be in pain. He became worried about her seeing her in such state, he hurry in her direction, “what happened? How are you feeling?” he asked while checking up on her. “It doesn’t concern you, didn’t you are trying to say that you doesn’t care for me?” she muttered.“C’mon, Steph. Stand up, many people are watching you,” he warns her in hushed tone. “I don’t care,” she strongly refuse him because of the excruciating pain she felt inside her stomach.Caspian didn’t succeed in asking her to stand so he have no other choice but to carry her in front of them and
“Steph, go down. Let’s talk, people are watching you,” he begs to his wife. She saw the rat jumps fast on top of the bed which makes her decide to jump on his husband and wraps her arm around his neck as her legs wraps on his body too.Caspian was in awe when she done that to him, he felt an electric shock running on his body as her skin touches his body and his heart race as if someone is drumming in his chest. “Don’t put me down, please,” she was scared as her tears were falling down.Caspian noticed how afraid she was, she thought that she simply wants to get the attention of the crowd, he lowered his sight and landed on her delicate, flawless legs as her fitted skirt is sliding up.“Mendez, lead our men to fifteen minutes two-run mile,” he authoritatively orders.“Sir, yes, sir!” he responded.“Who is she?” he heard the voice of a girl cadet asking.“She must be Colonel’s wife, I guess,” Caspian heard the response of the other one to the cadet.“He is so lucky because he got a b
Steph is leaning on the side of the door while watching her husband doing his work inside his room. She grins him widely as if she’s thinking another trick again, Caspian rose and gave her a camouflage pants.She knitted her brows and stared at the pants he’s giving to her, “what will I do to your pants?” “Wear it. I don’t know what I can do if anyone here disrespect you because of your clothing,” he answered that makes Steph’s face flushed.“Are you caring for me?” She grins. “I don’t want people to talk about us if I didn’t show concern to you,” he simply replied to her query.She observed around yet she didn’t find anyone, “it’ll be more convincing if there’s a people around us, that is the best time to show concern at me,” she frankly stated. Caspian move his face closer to his wife’s face and stared into her eyes that makes her heart jump, “why? Are you falling for me? If yes, you don’t need to worry because I am here to catch you anytime,” he seriously uttered.Her heart bea
Caspian frowned his brows hearing her blame him for what happened to her, “can you walk? If not, I will carry you,” he say directly. She patted his hands that holding her shoulder, “get off your stinky hands away from my arms,” she hissed.“I can walk,” she almost screamed when he suddenly carried her and brought her back inside his room. “Wait for me here and don’t you ever try to step your feet out of this room,” he warns, he is about to leave but pause, “I will bring you a food,” he added. “I almost thought that you are going to tour me around but it was all a lie,” she mumbled sadly, “and now you return me to your dark and scary room,” she sat on the bed and placed her feet on the bed thinking that a rat will showed up again.Caspian grins when he saw his wife’s disappointed reaction, “I can’t tour you around for now. Just rest here and I will send you back tonight.”“Huh?! Why is it tonight?! You must send me now,” she answered back. “We have an announced activity today,” he
“Steph’s POV”“That man had gone crazy! Luckily, those handsome soldier arrive!” I told my friend while I was playing with the straw in my glass.Allison Mendez is my one and only closest friend in the universe, she is simple but pretty, flawless, and have a fair skin. She is with me since high school, my partner in crime until we both graduated in college, she always stays with me whether in sadness, happiness, and sickness.She is a daughter of the barangay chairman, all men are afraid to get closer to her because of her strict father, Captain Ruel Mendez and no one dares to purse her. “Your husband is good-looking too! Why are you still looking at other men?” I heard Allison asks me. “That man? He is handsome? Are you blind, Aly? Wait… wait, don’t tell me you are attracted at him?” I doubts her query about my husband.“Hey, Stephanie Alicia Villamar? Are you doubting my principle? I will not ruin our friendship just because of a guy! I know that you like Col. Caspian!”“You are r
“Steph’s POV”I know that I do not any feelings for him but I am curious why am I feeling this way, why does my heart aches knowing that he is cheating on me?No, no, it can’t be… Maybe I am feeling this way because I was annoyed and angry at him that it feels like I want to hurt him and his other woman. “HOW DARE HE CHEAT ON ME? WHO IS HE TO DO THIS TO ME?“He is just the man you married but you cannot own him because you are only bond in marriage but his heart will never be yours, dear,” she explained carefully. “I know and I will never forget that but you told me once that in the eyes of God and other people, we are legally married.” I concluded.I saw how she watches me while I am annoyed because of him, I deserve to be treated right because I never cheated on him.“I will not let them be happy while I was suffering because of this marriage.” I noticed her lips curved up and suddenly chuckled like crazy.I just glare at her and waited for her to stop but she seems like she doesn
“Who’s the girlfriend of the captain? Me? Who told you that? I can sue that person for defamation!” she mumbled. She noticed how he look at him and her cousin as if they have done something wrong. Steph simply glance at her cousin, “I don’t need to explain anything to you because I am not doing something against the law,” she coldly replied to her husband.He snatched the bull cap she’s wearing and angrily throws it to her cousin that Mike catches.“DAMN STEPHANIE! YOU HAVE A HUSBAND AND YOU ARE STILL FLIRTING WITH ANOTHER MAN?!” He furiously accused them for what he witnessed.“Sir, it isn’t right to accuse someone without a reliable evidence and it’s not good to shout at woman, she isn’t like us,” Mike protected his cousin from her husband’s anger. Mike knows that Steph is a softhearted and fragile even though she is a stubborn and that’s the reason as much as possible he protects his cousin.“It doesn’t concern you, you have no right to care about my wife?!” Mike wants to speak fo
“Caspian, don’t you have plans to visit your wife?” the general asked his son who is chilling while sitting on the couch. Caspian stops from playing on his phone and shifted his sight on his father, “visit her? We just saw each other yesterday,” he responded.“I bet you don’t know what happened to your wife yesterday,” he wonders.Caspian suddenly felt nervous by the statement of his father about his wife, he didn’t know why he feels concern for her even though he knows that he will never like her. “What happened to her?” he can’t wait to know his father’s response.“I heard from your in-laws that she fell on the ground while decorating the Christmas tree, aren’t you updating each other or even call?” his father’s doubt.He can’t answer his father queries for he don’t really updates his wife in daily happening of his life and he don’t even know her number and don’t hope to talk to her.“My dear son, you should communicate with her. That’s the common reason why many of the couple hav
“Steph’s POV”Returning in the Philippines is out of my plan but I have no control since it was the calling of my job. No matter how I tried to avoid the man I don’t want to see anymore, I have no other choice.I didn’t expect that I will be seeing him again at this point, he looks better than before. I don’t want to look at him so I avoid him.I don’t want to be so weak like I was before, crying over a single guy whom hurt me so badly but I can’t teach my heart to stop from loving. It is better if I avoid him forever.“Will you stop staring at me?” I irritably questioned him while my eyes are on my food.“I am not,” he casually respond.“I know you are staring at me,” I claimed.“How did you know that I am looking at you? You are not even glancing at me,” he tease.I don’t want to look at him because I am afraid that my heart might melt and I fell inlove with him again. I didn’t bother to answer him and I don’t want it to become a big issue so I decided to drop this off.I put my ut
Stephanie fights her emotion and keep on going with her life, “it’s not the end of the world. I can still restart my life,” she always says to herself to move forward even she’s hurting badly.Steph left the country, she knows Caspian will not stop looking for her so she decided to leave for good. She flies across the globe and continues her modelling career; lots of companies are hiring her to advertise their products because of professionalism she impose.Her heart has been shattered and seems to be sinking deep down her body but she goes on and keeps moving. She knew that no matter what she did, she will never forget this pain so she focuses on her career and makes his parents proud.Stephanie didn’t stop her hobby, she still a car racer in any country she resides and plays with many people.

Steph become sober hearing from her friend that he loves her, she badly wants to return in their house on that day but Aly stop her from leaving in such state.“I wanted you to rest first, be beautiful before returning to him if you want to standout over that Elise girl,” her friend advised.“Do you know her too?” She asked curiously.“Yes, I met that bitch just now and guess what how did I met her?” Aly proudly make her a guess.“Did she make a scene again?” Stephanie did a random guess.“Aha! She simply hugged your husband from behind like a leech,” Aly told her while chuckling.“Did she?” Stephanie asks again.“Are you surprised? A woman like her will do anything just to get what she want even a man ignores her, I won’t be surprise if she’ll make another move again one day,” Aly says out of nowhere.Aly held her friend hand and pulled her out of the restaurant, “where are we going?” She asked curiously.“I’m going to bring you home, you need to have a beauty rest so you will have a
“Steph’s POV”I paused packing my things when I heard his angry voice but I didn’t dare turn my head from behind just to see his angry reaction. It’s clearly wasn’t my fault and he is blaming me for the things I didn’t done, he didn’t let me explain my side and now, what is he expecting from me? An explanation for my action? C’mon! I will not do that.I continued packing my clothes and pretended that I heard nothing, I don’t want to talk to him anymore! I’m so pissed off after he protected that girl from me…I zipped my luggage as I stood, I grab my shoulder bag and ready to go, I was taken aback when I found him standing, blocking my way. I almost thought he left but why is he was still here?“Where do you think you’re going?” he inquired with a cold face.“I’m leaving,” I replied and pulled my things, he gripped my arm tightly and whispered, “don’t you try.”Wait? Is he challenging me? He can’t stop me from leaving, who is he? He is not my dad or my mom. I raised my eye to see him,
“Is it taste good?” Elise asked Caspian after tasting the dish she made.“It’s good,” he said. Caspian seems like he doesn’t want to taste the food that Stephanie prepared for him, he know how awful it taste but he saw her hopeful reaction. He didn’t want her to disappoint her so he sliced a small portion of meat and slowly move it closer to his mouth while praying not to feel bad after eating the food she made.“Taste it. I know it’s your favorite,” she encouraged him as she gave him a sweetest smile. Caspian forced to smile at his wife because it isn’t his favorite, he tried to make her believe he enjoys tasting it. He also wants to reprimand her for breaking the rule he set in the house but he just let it pass since it’s Christmas day. The ladies watches him as he eats the food that Stephanie cooked for him and waiting patiently for his comment about it.“I am sure that tasted awful, my cooking is better than hers. Look at the appearance of that, full of soup!” Elise told to herse
“Steph’s POV”“Wait for me, I’m coming home,” that’s the only words I heard from him before I turns my back from him as if I didn’t heard him say any because I don’t want to let him see my reaction; I don’t want to see him that I’m happy for he’s willing to spend Christmas with me.I was surprised when the crew helps me to carry the grocery I bought and accompanied me inside the elevator, ‘thank you!’ I told them before the door slides close.“No worries. It is my apology because of the things I said about your husband and your new house tenant,” the man with a very soft movement apologetically mentioned. I smiled at them and nodded before the elevator finally moves up. I wasn’t planning to go back in this place, I was expecting to spend my Christmas with my family but since he insisted me to go back then I am willing to do so.I want to blame myself for being soft hearted specially when it’s about his request, I don’t want to be like this but once he is standing in front of me, I fe
“I am just kidding. You don’t need to answer my question because I don’t want to hurt my feelings continually at I know the place where I could stand,” she bitterly uttered forcing herself to smile.Caspian’s face suddenly covered with sadness as it gets dark, he doesn’t know what kind of comforting words he can say to her as Steph didn’t know why is he reacting this way, “he should be happy with what he heard, should I assume that he feels sad? But that was not possible…” she said to herself.“Th—en… It’s settled?” Caspian reassure.“No…” Steph rejects his negotiation.He looks at his wife’s expression as if he is questioning her but she didn’t explain what is running in her mind, and with that, he decided to ask her, what do you mean by that?”She stared into his eyes and asks, “how long is she planning to stay?”“I have no idea,” he seriously uttered.She raised to her seat for he let her in their house without any plan of how long she should stay, “you should know and I should kno
Everyone was taken aback after Caspian announced his relationship with Steph to the trainees.Caspian held her hand tightly while waiting for the cadets to confess their mistake and apologize for messing with his wife.The cadets seems to be stubborn, no one dares to admit their mistake, “I am giving you time to come forward and apologize for your wrongdoings to my wife!” he strictly announced.After a long period of encouraging them to admit it, finally, they decided to apologize to his wife.Caspian place his arms around Steph’s shoulder leaving the trainees. “Darling, let’s talk?” he nicely says.“What do we need to talk about?” she coldly asked him.“I want us to talk about Elise. She will temporarily stay in our place,” he explained.Caspian piques her attention hearing the word temporarily, “what does he meant in staying in our place temporarily? Is he planning to… No!” she told herself.“Okay, let’s talk,” she coldly uttered while giving him a cold stare.“But before we talk ab

He quietly watches his wife who is sleeping soundly, he took a blanket from the cabinet and drapes it over her body but she keeps on removing it from her body.His attention were placed on her arm that has a bruise till he realized that he is the reason why she have it and felt guilty about it.He touches it carefully and look at it, he lightly massage it but she seems to be getting hurt for her brows are frowning.“P—painful…” she complains.Caspian stops from doing it and rakes her hair, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you,” he wanted to kiss her forehead but he stopped.He came out from his room and annoyed at himself, he raised his head to watch the stars from above.“I must have stop myself from falling for her or I shouldn’t be weak enough to face her because she can’t accept it if ever I had gone into her life,” he sighed.“Buddy!” he heard his friend shouted making his attention to casted
