Chapter 21 – Liking each other
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56They both slept well. Andrea burrowed herself in his arms, her face pressed against his chest. They were only woken up by some insistent knocking on the door.
“Andrea, you still there? We’re leaving already. Send me a message or call me, alright?”
With her hiding further under the covers, Wayne went to get the door.
“Morning, mom.” He groggily stated as he blinked the lights out of his eyes. It’s too bright.
“Andrea?” Wena asked and Wayne opened the door to reveal her daughter on the bed.
“Are you guys staying longer? Don’t you have work today?” She studied his disheveled look and the way he rubbed his eyes.
“I’m taking a break from work. We’ll go out on a date later.”
“Hmm, a date, huh? Remember what we talked about last night, Wayne?”
“Yes, Ma’am.” He was suddenly awakened by the reminder.

Prove Yourself Worthy Chapter 22 – Frustration and seduction
She’d managed to seduce him a few days later. He has been very reluctant to make love to her, but she knew he wants her just as much. She could always feel his hardened member against her when they snuggle to sleep every night.As her clothes were removed, his gaze turned into one of concern.“You still have your bruises.” He pulled back a little and she gripped his arm.“They’re already fading. Please, I want you.” She pleaded in a sultry voice. Her hands moved up towards his shoulders and pulled him down. He gave in to her kiss and finally stole the initiative. His breathing turned ragged in an instant and she moaned at the feel of his hard body above her.“Are you sure about this?” He still managed to ask between kisses.“Yes.” She replied as she cried out. His erection was pressing against her thigh. She wanted it against her center. Inside her. She squirmed under him and reached for h
Prove Yourself Worthy Chapter 23 – Hostility
As the news finally spread, even at such a very late juncture, people started noticing her and giving her attention. When she goes to his office, she would meet many people on the way, greeting her. She was surprised to be addressed as Mrs. Wayne Anderson.“What’s wrong?” He asked as he noticed her somewhat confused and dazed expression as soon as she came in.She gestured towards the door as she walked to him. “People are greeting me as Mrs. Anderson. Did you make an announcement or something?” She sounded a little amused.“Jarred praised your skills at making love bites during a meeting.” He tapped the side of his neck where a faint mark still remains. She blushed at imagining how that meeting went.“Sorry. Did I cause you trouble?” She asked as she sat on the couch, but he waved her over. Normally, that means she has to sit on his lap.Leaving a mark on him was not something she planned. She
Prove Yourself Worthy Chapter 24 – An explanation
Wayne didn’t dare to return home without all the information he needs. He had to make sure nothing really happened. The videos don’t have audio but he clearly saw that she kept the distance between them. After entering the room, she walked out not more than ten seconds later. He checked both cameras and noted the time. Ten seconds. Nothing could’ve happened in that short amount of time. Also, it was clear she was rattled. She ran out of the room and through the hallways until the footage showed her safely into her car. She spent more than ten minutes in her car before driving away. He can only guess what happened in those ten minutes. After contacting one of his assistants to give him all the information he can get about this guy, he went to his car and drove back.When he arrived at the house, he took a deep breath. That man obviously has ill intentions. The way he looks at Andrea, the smirk on his face, and the way he watched her fled with his arms crossed
Prove Yourself Worthy Chapter 25 – Her request
The next morning, she woke up early. Andrea blinked a few times, trying to focus her sight and adjusting it to the light. They forgot to turn off the room’s main light.She carefully moved away from him and went to the bathroom to wash up. When she returned, she turned off the light. Her bedside lamp remained on.His eyes opened as she snuggled into his embrace again.“Sorry. Did I wake you up? Go back to sleep.” She sheepishly stated as she kept staring at his handsome face. He only blinked at her but didn’t close his eyes.“Are you awake?” She waved her little fingers in front of his face.He caught her hand and kissed each of her fingers. It made her blush and burn hot.Her breathing deepened when he licked her fingertips. They may not have done the deed last night, but this early in the morning… she could feel his bulging member against her thigh. When she moved her legs back, he actually proppe
Prove Yourself Worthy Chapter 26 – A decision to trust
“Are you really that afraid I would cheat on you? I know you have issues, and you have your reasons, too… but can’t you trust me a little? I agreed to your conditions, didn’t I? I made promises to you. I won’t betray you.”Andrea waited, but he didn’t speak even after a while.Slowly, she pulled back her hand from his shoulder. Feeling its movement, Wayne caught it and sighed.She’s right. He trusted her in all other areas, except… her faithfulness to him. Unconsciously, he’d always questioned it. Whenever something comes up that might prove infidelity, he always assumes that she had betrayed him. He feels sick to his stomach at the realization.He intertwined his fingers with hers and brought it to his lips. He kissed her knuckles. Her heart skipped a beat at his display of gentleness.“Alright.” He sighed before continuing, “I’m sorry. I will try and trust you.&
Prove Yourself Worthy Chapter 27 – Attempts of blackmail
Benjamin Hayes. To think that guy has so much courage to go up against him, Wayne could only scoff in annoyance. More like stupidity, actually. What he’s doing is child’s play. Not worth his time. But he needed to crush him, nonetheless.He actually managed to get his personal number and call him. That’s admirable. He’d give him that.The man thought Wayne doesn’t know who he is yet. He tried to go for mysterious.Benjamin contacted him, saying that if he didn’t want his dirty laundry aired in public again, his wife’s affairs, he’d agree to his demands. His lip twitched. He didn’t even let Wayne speak. He was just about to ask which dirty laundry he’s referring to. Wayne supposed he’s planning to spin a story on his wife’s ten-second stay in a room with him. He already has copies of the videos, though.Later on, when he talked to Andrea about the blackmail, she was visibly angered.
Prove Yourself Worthy Chapter 28 – Realization
Wayne was momentarily stunned. What just happened? Ah, his expression. He caught his reflection on a mantelpiece. He might have scared her. He felt something squeeze his heart as he heard her sobbing. It’s clear she’s trying hard to suppress herself.“Andrea, open the door. Please.” He asked after walking over and standing in front of it. He managed to make his voice gentler.Andrea was conflicted on the other side of the door. How did he get here? How did he know I’m here? What am I going to do?“I’m sorry. It wasn’t me. It wasn’t my fault.” She cried.Hearing her voice and her words, he realized what she must be thinking.“I know, sweetheart. It’s not your fault. Are you alright? Please, come out.”“I really didn’t know anything. He’s lying. He’s a liar. Please, don’t believe him.” She’d beg if she has to. Would he believ
Prove Yourself Worthy Chapter 29 – What she felt
When Wayne went to the bed, he found her staring at the ceiling.He frowned as he lay next to her. “Are you…”He stopped. Maybe he shouldn’t ask her if she’s alright, yesterday had clearly shaken her up.He sighed as he pulled her close to him, trying to comfort her with his presence.“What are you thinking?” He asked quietly, watching her expression closely.While she’s in the bathroom earlier, he’d already instructed his people to dig into Hayes’ activities. All the ways he could be destroyed, they only needed Wayne’s approval to execute them immediately.“I miss mom. I want to visit them this coming weekend.” She replied in a soft tone.“Alright. We’ll go. Do you want it to be this Friday night?”She shook her head. That would be too rushed. They need to rest, too. Saturday afternoon will be fine. She told him.Wayne simpl

Prove Yourself Worthy Chapter 43 – The end
Does Andrea still go out? Yes. Given how those who tried to harm them were treated afterwards, Wayne really hoped no one else would try.Every month, they would only attend a maximum of two parties. Together.They still go out on weekends, but they’re totally random. No fixed time, no fixed place. They’re both seen together in public again. Her security is quite serious but she’s not bothered. In conferences or parties, she would accompany Wayne. Basically, the only time they could meet Mrs. Wayne Anderson is when her husband is with her. Rumors remain that she’s imprisoned at home or something. She only laughs it off. Wayne would sometimes drop her off at her parent’s house or at their companies. Jay has become her personal assistant while managing her own business and those of her parents. She stopped at three. Drew’s not interested in one. When they celebrated their son’s first birthday, she got the news that s

Well, Wayne managed to survive. The next party they attended, Jarred introduced his friends. A man and a woman who are dating. They chatted for a while before Wayne suggested dancing. Of course, he danced with his wife first. Then, Jarred took Andrea and danced with her. Since he’s family, he didn’t feel anything. Andrea then told the woman, Alice, that Wayne’s trying to get used to other women’s presence and asked her and her boyfriend if the lady could dance with him and if the guy could dance with her. One at a time, though. While he danced with Alice, he gave her a bit of a background so he won’t seem weird. Fortunately, she knew a bit about his scandal with the ex-wife. She quickly got the gist of it. Andrea, too, talked to the man, Harry, as they watched their partners.“How long have you guys been dating?”“Just a few months, five… six.”“Ah, I see. Not getting serious yet to consider marr
Prove Yourself Worthy Chapter 41 – Jealous, too
Wayne noticed her silence in the car, on their way home. He hugged her but she hasn’t made any reaction. She seemed to be thinking deeply. If anything, it looks like she’s sulking. Why, though? He squinted at her and looked back at the events during the party. Many people flocked around them.When they reached home, they went straight to the nursery to check on Ace. Wayne took him into his arms and cuddled him. There’s something soothing about him, tapping the baby and making hushing sounds. Andrea eyed him. He’s still obviously very attractive. Those women were not at all polite. Most of them stared at him without reserve. No doubt, if she wasn’t there, they would’ve tried to flirt with him. Maybe offer themselves up. She sighed. She doesn’t like analyzing people’s behavior too much. One of the reasons why she dislikes socializing with strangers. It’s not for her.After putting Ace to sleep, they both kissed him be
Prove Yourself Worthy Chapter 40 – Meeting at a party
She hasn’t told him the details of the party she is going to attend. Likewise, he didn’t ask. When he came home early to prepare for it, he found her sleeping. Thinking she might be tired, he didn’t wake her up. He’ll just go alone.As for Andrea, there was a problem at her company that she had to resolve early that morning. She was fairly tired and went to sleep early when she got home, so she would have the energy during the party.When she saw him, there was a woman at his side. For his benefit, he wasn’t staring at her. But Andrea still glared at him. Who knew she’s also the jealous type? Prior to this, Wayne has never been close to any woman. He’d never gone on dates. He always kept his distance during events like this. That woman was itching to put her hand on his arm, though. She can see that much.Wayne stepped away from the woman, but she inched closer still. He frowned. There’s still someone who thinks he
Prove Yourself Worthy Chapter 39 - Convincing
Ace is now six months old. The nanny and the maids are all over him. The grandparents also visit a lot. They don’t need to be so worried about him. Andrea decided to continue her third project. It’s for her own. A business she has to manage. It’s real work. Not as tedious as Wayne’s. She could admit that she would not be able to reach his level. Not many people can and there’s no competition between them anyway. Wayne… he hasn’t told her to stop working. Maybe she does have an advantage over his ex-wife. She can talk business with him and he can talk about his company with her. He could teach her. He could say whatever others may think as boring, but she would find them interesting and informative.Wayne, he still feels a bit guilty. Seeing her cooped up at home and occasionally going to the offices, his and that of her parents, he wants her to feel free to go out anytime and anywhere.He would take her out on weekends. Having

Wayne sighed. “I’m not gonna lie. I probably would have, but my brain would definitely try to rationalize it. You’ve always been home. You’ve been very careful when you go outside. You wouldn’t have the opportunity to…” He stopped at seeing her glare.“Excuse me? Do I need an opportunity?” Her tone is…“Of course not. You never had that intention. You were never interested in other guys, were you?”“I didn’t have the time to get interested. I was too busy. Even when I met you, I really had no intention of getting into a relationship.”“Glad I caught you, then.” He pressed a kiss on the right side of her face.“Then, I guess it shouldn’t matter if she came to piss you off today or back then. You wouldn’t have believed her, right?”“Well, I do have a propensity to distrust whatever she says or does.”
Prove Yourself Worthy Chapter 37 – Little Ace
Wayne named him Ace.At the hospital, Andrea had a hard time giving birth to him. She was utterly exhausted. The baby was healthy. When the parents came to visit, they saw Wayne carefully holding him as an elderly woman guided him from the side, holding a cotton towel and wiping the baby’s face when he drools in his sleep. She was hired as a nanny and a mother of one of the maids in their household.Wayne enthusiastically greeted them, showing off the baby.“Looks just like you as a baby.” His mother commented.“How do you remember something from so long ago?” Wayne replied with a smile, but he’s glad to hear it.“Oh, you never looked at your baby pictures, did you? I brought them with me. Come, look.”Wayne’s lip twitched as he blinked. The in-laws huddled around his mother. She laid the albums near the end of the bed as Wena carried her grandson.“Oh, they really look alike
Prove Yourself Worthy Chapter 36 – Her confession
Andrea’s eyes widened. She wanted to ask what did she just hear, but he didn’t stop from kissing her.He’s afraid, that she would reject him. He wanted to fool himself. She was kissing him back. That should mean something, right? He believes they like each other and Andrea seems to be the committed type. She’s faithful to him because they’re married. She treats him as a proper husband. She acts like a real wife. But does she love him, too?She moaned as his kiss turned aggressive. She wanted to pull back as they’re still in the living room, but he wouldn’t let her go. She slid down the couch, prompting them to separate for a moment. She took this chance to take a breath and covered his mouth with her hand.In that moment, she saw how his expression wavered, showing anxiety.She removed her hand and pecked his lips.“Let me breathe a little.” She sounded breathless as she lay there. Wayne froze f
Prove Yourself Worthy Chapter 35 – His confession
The next day, she started having the so-called morning sickness. It was concerning, if you ask Wayne. Personally, she feels as if something’s sucking her stomach out as she heaved over the sink. When she mentioned it, he had her eat some porridge before dragging her to the hospital. With his connections, requiring an appointment didn’t matter.His first question was, “Is that normal?”The female doctor smiled, “Yes, it’s very normal. I understand it’s your first pregnancy but it’s nothing to worry about.”She then gave them a lecture on how to deal with it, the remedies, before moving onto giving them general reminders on what food to avoid at this time.“Take note of the smells that triggers your nausea. It’s different for everyone, but the most common is a fishy smell.”And then, they moved to the adjacent room for the ultrasound. Wayne tried to be calm about it, but his hand
