(Finn’s POV)

“Kitty?” I almost meowed when she didn’t answer.

When she finally breathed out, she surprised me with her question.

“What are you doing here?” she said worriedly in a hushed tone and walked toward the side table to get a tissue. I thought she would use it to wipe herself, but my work wife returned to me, attempting to clean my shirt.

I caught her wrist. “I should be the one asking you that question. What are you doing here at this hour? You’re supposed to be home and resting.”

She looked tired, which was understandable after what she went through today. With her strong personality, it didn’t surprise me that she handled the situation well, especially when Lexa began crying after getting a word from Jeannie about what had happened to their little sister. Although it confused me for a few moments because I thought Lexi would be the one who would cry, not her. Maybe the hospital bill issue was one concern.

“I couldn’t sleep. You? You’re supposed to be home and resting,” she

    (Finn’s POV)She released my hand, sneering and glaring at me. “Our hearts, Finn!”I chuckled. “I said something concrete. I won’t see your hearts unless I open your chest.”She grinned. “Sorry! Well, she always tells me she has bigger boobs.”My eyes lowered to her mounds covered by the top pajama. “Well…” I closed my eyes and bit my lower lip to stop myself from laughing.“Finn!” she growled, wrapping her arms around her body.“This is a crazy conversation,” I muttered, grinning at her. I reached for her face, brushing the few strands of her hair to the side. “Did your mother ever get confused with you and Lexa?”She shook her head. “No. One look and she already knew it was me. Do you want me to dye or cut my hair so you won’t get confused?”“No. I like the way you are now, Lexi,” I said, hoping I could look elsewhere, but my eyes kept on staring at her lips.“If you’re thinking of kissing me, Finn, please remember I’m not Lexa. I’m Lexi,” she reminded me.I got up from the bed, lea

    (Lexi’s POV)I craned my neck and closed my eyes, enjoying the sprinkle of water on my body, when suddenly the bathroom door opened. This area was not as big as his bathroom in the mansion, so when Finn dashed inside, the room suddenly became smaller.My eyes widened, gasping and watching him in horror as he pulled off his pajamas, not leaving any clothes.“Move back,” he said.I did step back and watched Finn taking over the shower head and reaching for the shampoo bottle, but it fell from his hands.“Help me.” His voice begged as I picked up the bottle and put a portion on his hair.“What’s happening?” I growled at him, not minding we were Adam and Eve, only standing in the small bathroom, not in the Garden of Eden.His palm flew to my mouth. “Shush!” he muttered in a low voice, placing his index finger on his lips.I opened my mouth to protest, but I closed it again as I heard a familiar voice.“Finn!”He gestured his hand, asking me to move to the side. He walked to the door, peer

    (Frank’s POV)“Have you seen Finn?” Angela asked as she got out of the Admin Office.“Yep!” I nodded, glancing at her before returning my attention to the paper bags on the floor. We were busy in the office, but Sky asked me to help Angela at school and said she personally requested for me to be with her today.Angela Perry Mars is the president of Absolute Glam, but sometimes she would stay in the school founded by her cousin Anya and their friend, Dylan, and help them run the institution.“What’s he doing? I thought he’d come back last night, but he didn’t,” she said, lifting her index finger and counting the bags.“We didn’t talk much because he’s in the shower. I was hoping we could talk about your party at home this weekend, but I didn’t wait because Sky said we have lots of stuff to do today.”“I see,” she nodded, walking to the table when the telephone rang.I turned to the door when it opened. A teacher came in with a big empty box in her arms, and she was walking blindly insi

    (Frank’s POV)Mrs. Lira smiled and thanked Lexa and me after placing the box at the main entrance of the orphanage.“We can bring this inside, Mrs. Lira,” I offered, but the institution Director smiled and shook her head.“Don’t bother, Frank. The boys will help me get this box. Thank you again,” she said gently, glancing at Lexa. “Is she Anya’s music teacher?”Lexa gave the older woman a sweet grin. “Yep. That’s me.”“Angela’s bringing some musical instruments next week for the kids. Can you spare a little time to teach them?” She was hopeful Lexa would say yes.“Of course!” she answered cheerily, leaning forward to Mrs. Lira. “But -”Lexa saying yes to her already surprised me, but I knew her, she was all about earning money for her sisters, and the institution had nothing to give her except recognition and appreciation for her voluntary and good deeds. My eyes narrowed, unconsciously looking at her.“We just don’t have the budget for the fees…” Mrs. Lira blushed and smiled sheepish

    (Frank’s POV)The house was quiet today because I asked the construction company to continue the construction on the weekend. Last night, I hoped to bring Lexi here, tour her around the house, and maybe have more time together alone.After placing the box inside my bedroom, I peered at Lexa and found her watching the sea from the tall glass window in the living room.“Wanna swim?” I asked, stopping at the last step of the staircase.She turned to me and grinned. “And what? Toast my skin under the sun?” She shook her head.“Are you hungry?” I stepped toward the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. I glanced at the kitchen door frame and saw her walking in my direction.“What happened to the risotto in Italy?” She teased me as she propped her elbows on the kitchen island.I chuckled, turning my gaze to the inside of the fridge again to look for something to eat. “Didn’t you hear Anya? You have to be in school tomorrow.” I closed the refrigerator and turned around, not knowing she was st

    (Lexi’s POV) Finn has just come from his meeting with Sky. It wasn’t on the schedule, but he went to meet him when he received a call from Catherine asking him to come to his office. He walked past me, not talking to me or asking me what he wanted to eat for lunch, but I was sure he glanced at the box of sour candy strips I had been munching since he left. I was about to take the last piece, but he came back and stole it from me. “Hey!” I protested, but he ignored me and went inside his office. I sighed, stared at my monitor again to look at the blinking cursor, and waited for who would give up blinking first. Was it the cursor or me? The door of his private office opened, and Finn went out again, his face crimson as he threw the white envelope on my table. “What’s this?” He asked angrily. I leaned forward, pretending not to know, picked it up, and took the letter inside. “Oh! This is what you called a resignation letter, Finn.” I faked a smile. “Get in my office.” He snarled.

  • My Bossy Secretary   Chapter 78 –  Workcation

    (Lexi’s POV)I was keeping a tally of the hours as if counting my last breath.Half an hour into going to the hospital, another half an hour with her mom checking on me, preparing my medicine, just in case I got sick from a night and a day adventure and reminding us of the first aid kit and emergency lines to call. One of her another ‘just in case’.Only an hour in the shopping mall because he had called Gemma, a boutique owner, ahead of time to prepare the things I would need for the short trip. She only took my size, and as she clapped her hands, her assistants became busy taking everything we needed, and before I could decline the things he bought, they were already bringing them to the car.Finn was smirking as we got out of the boutique because I looked more like Demi Lovato attending Camp Rock instead of going on real camping. Gemma insisted I wear the floral print yellow dress, denim jacket, and luxurious boots.I did nothing, but everything exhausted me, causing me to fall asl

    (Lexi’s POV)Finn wasn’t kidding me when he said this was a workcation because after eating dinner at the picnic site and going with me to the nearest bathroom, which was a ten-minute walk from the tent to brush my teeth and change, he was already talking about work. As I got out of the bathroom, I finally looked like going camping, wearing a sweatshirt, shorts, and a pair of Crocs classic clogs, matching him.When we returned to the tent, he took the brochures and documents John had given him earlier and began studying them. He ignored me as I plumped the only pillow I had. His was placed at the farthest part of the tent as if telling me he wasn’t interested in touching me tonight. It should have been a piece of good news for me, but I took it as an insult.Brushing my thoughts aside, I lay my back on the bedding, twisting and turning a few times to find a comfortable position, when the air began to whisper outside, wind shaking our tent.“Finn,” I yelped as I listened to the wind fl

    (Finn’s POV) Five years later… As I talked to my brother, I leaned on my chair, propping my elbows on the table as I massaged my temple. Lexi had been giving me a hard time lately, and no matter how I explained to her that I didn’t care about not having children, I would still find her crying in the middle of the night. “Sky, I don’t know what to do. We could adopt one if she really wanted a baby-” I wanted to cry at my brother. “Just be patient with her, Finn. We all know how much she has wanted to have her own child since the day she saw her nephew. And for sure, she’s having this kind of low feeling again because her twin sister just gave birth.” I heaved a sigh. “I know, but she was making me crazy lately.” “You know what? You two need a break. Why don’t you bring her on a date? Give all your time to her tonight,” he suggested. “You’re right. Maybe I’ve been working too hard,” I muttered. “Thanks, brother. Please, come home already. Be there on the weekend, okay?” Sky chuck

    (Finn’s POV)My sister-in-law walked with my brother onto the stage and curved a sweet smile on her lips as she looked at everyone. Six months ago, I was here, watching my brother and my gorgeous sister-in-law make a very special announcement about the success of the company’s new project.At that time, I wondered where I would find another woman like Angela, but now, Frank and I were seated in the same spot with our own date. This wasn’t a big party, but a gathering with our family, friends, and relatives, wanting to be part of Angela and Sky’s number of babies reveal. Their children, three girls and two boys, were excitedly seated in front, and like us, they also had their guesses on the gender and number of babies.“This is insane and fun!” Anya exclaimed as she and Dylan joined us at the table.“Well, that’s our Angela,” He laughed. “So, let’s have our guess. One! Just one.”“One?” Frank shook his head. “Could be two, another twin.” He looked at Lexa. “What’s your guess, baby?”Le

    (Lexi’s POV)It had been a month since the incident happened, and before Sky and Finn went on a business trip, he decided that the three of us stay in the mansion after the trauma from the Travis siblings. He even talked to Jocelyn, who seldom visited their home, to stay with us for a while. She happily obliged, but deep inside, I knew how much she loved the idea.But I think the one who enjoyed this setup the most was Elenita. She entered the family room and brought us snacks. Another maid came in with a tray filled with glasses, a pitcher of orange juice, and a cup of coffee for Jocelyn. She was sitting on the egg chair and reading Aliyah a book.“Lexi, Lexa,” called Elenita. “Sky’s looking for you in the garden.”“Sky’s back?” Lexa stood up.I pressed my lips, suppressing a smile because we were sure my twin sister was not excited about Sky coming back but about the man he was with.“Is he alone? Do you want me to call Angela?” Her eyes were hopeful as she looked at Elenita.“If Sk

    (Finn’s POV)For how long I had been staring at the cross, I didn’t know. I was about to head back to the hotel, but my feet dragged me to the prayer room where Angela would usually go whenever we were here. As I sat in the front row and looked at the relic of the cross, I sniffled, wishing I was like my sister-in-law, having a big heart and full of faith in something she had never seen in her life.I wasn’t religious, but at this point, I wanted to believe that everything happened for a reason, wishing for miracles and hoping this would soon be over. If only I knew Lexi would get hurt, I should have just stayed in France and didn’t bother coming back.“Hey!” Angela muttered softly, sitting beside me and resting her head on my shoulder.Frank sat on my other side and noticed he had showered and changed his clothes. “Sky is waiting for your decision, Finn.”I took a deep breath. “Send her flowers. Make sure to order her favorites and tell the florist to make a beautiful one.”He nodded

  • My Bossy Secretary   Chapter 134 –  Déjà Vu

    (Finn’s POV)The sky was gravel-gray, looking somber as it waited for the large pillows of clouds to cover the sky. I never liked it when the sky looked sad because its color reflected the seawater, making the sea body melancholic… lifeless. I sighed, thinking it would rain any moment, but instead of looking for shelter, I stepped forward, going to the shore and stopping when the white foam of waves kissed my feet.My eyebrows knitted as my eyes fixed on the horizon, remembering I had been in this place, but I could not pinpoint when or why I was here. When I lowered my gaze, I saw a starfish washed to the shore, softly hitting my toes. I took a deep breath, thinking this had happened before.I closed my eyes and asked myself when or how.Ah, Freya!Now I realized this place didn’t exist, but I was in a state of unreality, a dream I had a few years ago. Only now, I was alone, but when I had this dream, Freya and I went into the water and swam as we loved swimming. And then we sat on t

    (Lexi’s POV)The burly man in the black suit was in the corner of the room; his hands and feet were tied, and his mouth was gagged with a cloth, preventing him from screaming. It was his restrained scream that woke me up.I hardly knew him, but when I woke up earlier, I saw him watching the nurse’s every move, only leaving his post when Jocelyn entered my room. He must be one of the Mars’ security details, but his face was unfamiliar to me since Finn never had one. After what Chelsea did, I understood the danger of being alone in the hospital, but I thought it was too much since I was not an important person to guard.Who would want to kill me?He eyed the young man lying on the floor, and his eyes moved like he was pointing at the man standing and facing the light switch. I pressed the call button, hoping the nurse or anyone would see my emergency call immediately.If my wound were totally healed, I would have filled the room with my scream to get help, but as the man with the syring

    (Lexi’s POV)Somebody must have taped my eyelids because I found them difficult to open. At first, I didn’t mind because Morpheus seemed to drag me into a deep sleep at most times, and believe me, I was happy and contented. I felt at peace with my parents, eating and seeing them delighted as they listened to me. But after we ate, my mom opened her arms and asked me to sit on her lap.I excitedly dashed to her, sitting on her lap. “Mom, I’m heavy already, you know,” I giggled.She pressed her lips on my cheeks. “I know, but I will always see you and Lexa as my babies. My beautiful babies.”My father wrapped his arms around us, humming the song Can’t Take My Eyes Off You. I closed my eyes and sniffled as I listened to him.“We’re so proud of you and your sister,” Dad uttered as he stared at me with great love. I giggled again when they sandwiched me as mom kissed me on my right cheek and dad on my left.“Now, baby, go back to your sisters,” Mom said, her fingers trailing my face and s

    (Frank’s POV)Lexa stared at the charming woman in white uniform for a second before scoffing and walking inside the room where the doctor and another medical specialist were. “Grrr! Of all days, you chose to be here,” I sneered at my cousin and watched Lexa talk to her doctor.“Oh, let me pour my name on your day, Frank,” Felicity grinned, holding my hand and tugging me excitedly beside Lexa on the bed.“You look more excited than the parents, Felicity,” the doctor smiled.Lexa looked at the young nurse; her lips pressed like she wanted to ask me but did not bother to raise the question.“She’s Felicity, my cousin,” I answered Lexa in her unuttered question and watched the doctor apply the gel to her belly. “My mom and her mom are sisters… A Mars.” “Oh,” She exclaimed and glanced at Felicity again. “Oh!” she gasped when the doctor pressed the small device against her skin and began to capture images on the screen.Dr. Lee smiled. “There’s your growing bundle of joy,” she exclaimed

  • My Bossy Secretary   Chapter 130 –  Still Had Trust Issues

    (Frank’s POV)I never thought the long meeting would ever end. The Travis case seemed never-ending, and looking at Finn, like me, he wished to escape and be with the women we loved. Sky had been aware of the case of attempted hacking and had this under investigation. The private investigator reported that the hacking was not just Chelsea’s doing alone, but she was an accomplice to the crime. One thing she somehow did not expect was falling in love deeply with Finn when she had to lure him so her brother could tap into his office without being noticed. Chuck was an old employee of Quick Soft IT whom Sky had terminated three years ago because of grave misconduct, and now he was on the loose after the news of Chelsea’s death leaked on social media.“I’m going back to the hospital,” Finn muttered, looking exhausted.“No,” Sky shook his head, surprising Finn and me.“Sky,” He scowled, his brows knitting in disapproval of his brother’s decision.Sky heaved a sigh and grabbed his brother
