I heard him groan, "I think I need to work hard. I need to double my time and triple the case I'm working on because I forgot that my wife was a princess and couldn't live on two thousand dollars only. Maybe I need to put a lot of people behind bars so I can give you your needs and wants," he uttered absentmindedly before he headed out of the walk-in closet.I pouted, but I don't feel any guilt. I even changed clothes from time to time for the following days so I could try everything that I bought. I haven't seen him that much in the house; he sometimes spends his time in his home office.And I am still pissed as I remember that he brought Ashley to the event and ordered her to cling to Andres. And even if he won't admit it, I knew he was to blame for that matter. Out of annoyance, there have been days that I woke up late. I will only eat, but I won't cook. Aside from that, I am still mad. I also have no idea how to do those chores.And I got so fascinated again by painting that I alm
I guess I am drifting away. I can't even overcome my nervousness about what he said. I called Miss Nenita so I could talk to Andres.I need to leave, to escape as soon as possible. I think this is the best chance, especially since Delton was busy with his law firm. This chance is very rare."What have you thought, Miss Sage? Are you escaping? Tsk! Don't ever do that!" she pleaded.I sighed and closed my eyes tightly."Miss Nenita, I am not escaping. I just want to visit the mansion. I miss Mommy and Daddy so much. I haven't talked to them since I came here," I whispered, as if I was so lonely.It's true that I miss my parents so badly, but I won't be visiting the mansion. Delton will easily catch me there."Please, Miss Nenita. And uhm, can you send me money through any money transfer? ""Miss Sage, that cannot be. Let Attorney Carancho send you here," she pursued.I shook my head and put on the black slingbag and cap. I won't bring any clothes; that would be a hassle."Miss Nenita, i
My eyes grew wide and I quickly put my other clothes in the suitcase. And even if he catches me escaping now, I will still ask him to let me go home.And when his fragrance lingered in my nose, my insides panicked. I almost hugged the suitcase."I'm going home! Please, do not dare to stop me!" I shouted when I heard his footsteps getting nearer to the walk-in closet I was in.I have been planning to escape for days and yet keep failing since he's here. He was able to stop me all the time! Frustrating!Instead of his angry and serious face, I found him with his gentle stares, as if he didn't want to argue with this. It seems like he doesn't give a damn about my sentiments."Hm, yeah, Savvy—""Will you stop calling me Savvy? And please, let me go home!" I cut him with his sweet nothings. His soft voice irritates me, and even the way he calls me Savvy. If he is calling me like that to tame me, then he has got it all wrong. I will never be tamed by him."Am I stopping you from going home
I do really feel like I am already thirty years old since I live here with Delton. There doesn't seem to be a day that goes by that I am not pissed, angry, or irritated.I irritably cleansed my face and then turned to face the mirror. I looked to see if a wrinkle had been added. Thank goodness there wasn't.Calm down, Sage. You're still young!I wiped my face before going out of the bathroom. I even saw him on the bed and leaning on the headboard while his laptop was on his lap. He was busy, but I know he needs to go to his office.I tsked and didn't bother to greet him good morning. I headed straight to the walk-in closet to change my clothes.But when I returned, I saw him already sitting at the edge of the bed while bending slightly and his elbows resting on his knees. He was staring intently at me and was even smirking."So when are you going to file for annulment, Mrs. Carancho?" He acted as if he was asking seriously, but I saw how his lips lifted again.I rolled my eyes and got
"Savvy, lunch is ready." Come down, let's eat," he uttered softly and knocked again on the door.I covered the painting as fast as I could. I just pulled out the long cloth of the table so that he wouldn't be able to see his own face if he entered the room."I'm still full! I will eat later!" I shouted while fixing my painting tools.I heard him spit curses and turned the knob before he slipped himself into the room. I'm so glad I covered the painting immediately."What? I am not hungry."He shrugged his shoulders and completely welcomed himself. He even got up close to me and helped me fix my painting tools."You will eat, Savvy. I am working, I have money, I know how to cook, I know how to clean, and I know how to fix things. There is no reason for my wife to starve. Just tell me what you like, and I can surely find time to make it."He said that without looking at me, but I myself got shy. He does really know a lot of things, while I can't even do any of those correctly.To cover m
Somehow, I felt kind of useless, especially when I witnessed how dedicated Delton was to making everything work, to make our marriage work."Uhm, are you sure you don't want to go home yet?" I simply asked as I was enjoying the water in the darkest night.We decided to have a dip in the jacuzzi at this time. Our light comes only from the brightness of the moon and stars."Nope. I know what you're thinking, Savvy. You cannot escape. I can still find you." He closed his eyes as he sipped from a glass of whiskey.I rolled my eyes and stepped off the boat. I immediately grabbed the robe he had prepared for me. See how thoughtful he is? I can't say bad things about how he took care of me; it's just that I can't seem to be perfectly fit for him."You rolled your eyes again, Savvy. What are you thinking?"He got off the jacuzzi as well, while still holding the empty glass. That's where my eyes landed. Never in my life have I tasted an alcoholic drink aside from red wine. And now, I'm curious
I blinked a few times, and I won't deny that my heart rejoiced at what he said. The butterflies in my stomach appear to have flown to my heart, while the fireflies remained on my stomach and heated it.His hot breath on my neck made me moan a little. It traveled through my system as if lightning struck the fire inside."Am I useless?" I uttered as I caught his intense gaze.He looked at my eyes, then at my lips, before he left a peck on my shoulder blade. He smelled it before planting another swift kiss."You aren't, Baby. No one is useless. I never think ill of you, but I want a truce, Savvy. I want a deal that is fair enough for me," he whispered huskily."What kind of truce, Delton?"I moved my shoulder and that made him lift his head and stare at me seriously.Even if I am drunk, I can still think clearly and know what "trouble" means. I knotted my forehead when I saw a glimpse of him speaking, but still, he uttered what he wanted."Hm, I want a deal, Savvy. If you treat me right,
Chills and thrills are all that I am feeling. My insides keep on tightening, as if getting frustrated trying to release the heat.I didn't notice how we entered the villa. All that I know is the slipping off of my robe, leaving me with my underwear. And his lips were on my chest as he slowly put me down on the soft bed.I felt comfortable lying down, but I felt so magnificent and hot when he crawled on top of me and kissed my lips again."Delton," I murmured as I felt his lips going down through my neck, chest, stomach, and much lower.Heat rushed through my veins, making me ache for something pleasurable.I bit my lip when I felt my brassiere leaving my body and when his hand caressed my inner thigh.I felt his hot breath leveled on my stomach and even felt his wet and soft kisses there. And I don't know why I even fisted plenty of his hair when he kissed my underwear and tugged it down using his teeth.I suddenly took a glance at him, only to feel my cheeks heat up when he ripped my
Delton Carancho"Are you sure about this, Son?" That was the question I remember from Attorney Santiago.I nodded my head as I looked at the picture of the only Princess of the Valencia family. I pursed my lips after remembering what her parents had done to mine, and so I wanted revenge."We can fake the marriage, Son," he suggested."No, Dad. Make it real. I'm only going to get married once, and let her marry me," I uttered with determination while staring at the woman.She captivates me. And that I can visibly see that she needs saving. Her lips were curved into a smile, but her eyes told otherwise. She looked sad even though she was smiling at the camera."If that's what you want. I'll warn you, she's a spoiled brat, doesn't know any household chores. Even in business, she doesn't know anything and she only does painting," he explained, to which I just nodded.Whatever it is, I can endure everything. But I didn't know that my patience would be put at risk because of her. She is sav
My tears fell after his lips landed on my forehead. He kissed me several times there and even kissed my tears away."I am already happy to have you, but I am now the happiest man alive, Savvy," he whispered with all his heart. That made my heart happy again.He planted a kiss on my lips before hugging me tightly."I thought you were mad," I admitted weakly."What? No, Savvy. "I really want to have a family with you," he said, moving away a bit and quickly wiping my tears.I smiled a little, especially when he put our hands together and led me out of the bathroom.After leaving, he helped me sit on the swivel chair before immediately taking out his cellphone and calling someone."Dad, I'm going to be a father," he reported with a smile on his face."Congratulations, son. You deserve every happiness in the world. Send my congratulations to Sage," said Attorney Santiago from the other line, so I nodded.They talked for a while, and I thought he would only call Attorney Santiago, but not
"Won't you ask about Ashley's performance?" I teased.Ashley has been working with me for a few weeks now, and she's doing okay. I was just teasing Delton because I knew he was not in favor of what I did.From his laptop, he looked at me. His eyes are still serious."Your performance is much better than anyone else's," he teased, then smiled knowingly.My cheeks automatically turned red as I leaned against his desk. When he laughed softly after seeing the reddening of my cheeks, I was devastated. I immediately bent down and put my mouth on his ear."In bed or in the office?" I teased.He stopped and immediately stared at me. He bit his lip a little, and when he was about to pull my neck, I immediately straightened up."Focus, Mr. CEO." I grinned and walked away from his desk and moved to my desk.I acted as his secretary while he didn't have a secretary yet, but he also did all the work and I could only help with scheduling. I also want to tell you about my pregnancy, but I don't know
"Miss Sage, I'm—"I raised my hand to stop her."Please leave, Miss Ashley. I'm done with you," I responded coldly before turning away, but she immediately grabbed my elbow.A shiver settled in my chest and my eyes almost widened. I don't know what she plans, so I'm nervous. If earlier I thought she might be pregnant, now she might hurt me."Miss Sage," she called again with a cry.I closed my eyes tightly. Despite my nervousness, I felt pity for her. I want to listen, but I'm afraid."Shut up, Miss Ashley. Not now," I begged calmly, but her grip tightened on my elbow and pulled me a little further, causing my eyes to open.I want to scream, but I don't want to make a scene. I just looked around. They were all busy and didn't seem to notice me."Miss Sage, just a few minutes," she repeated.My gaze automatically flew to Delton. But he is in the group of entrepreneurs."Let me go, Ashley. I don't want to fight you right now," I begged again."Miss Sage, I just want to apologize for eve
I can even beat the lottery winner with happiness. It was my dream to have an art exhibit, but here it is, and an art gallery was provided by Delton. My heart was so happy and I almost couldn't stop painting again to increase my paintings in the exhibit itself. Daddy is strongly against this passion of mine, but I think they will be happy now that I am happy.My excitement is overflowing. I can't believe that I am living my dream. It's different when your dream comes true, it's like you're on a cloud. And if I wasn't pregnant, I would stay up every day just to finish many paintings."Done, Baby," I whispered softly after signing the last painting.I caressed my flat stomach and smiled as I looked at my finished painting of Delton's house—it was Delton's and my house."Soon you'll grow up here, Baby," I murmured."It's look alive, Savvy."I was slightly stunned by that and quickly turned to Delton. He was already behind me and staring at my last painting. I even estimated if he had hea
"You made me cry, Delton," I accused him, especially since my tears didn't want to stop during the trip.I don't even know how many times I hit him every time he laughs. He was very happy with my reaction."Savvy, I didn't mean to make you cry. Where is my tiger wife? —Aw! Savvy, it hurts," he complained after my palm hit his arm again."Throw a joke again and you'll sleep outside the room!"He immediately stopped the car on the side and sighed. He handed me bottled water while he himself wiped my tears with a tissue."Shh, Savvy. Please calm down. Don't cry too much. You might be dehydrated later when you get to the mansion," he said, frowning.I rolled my eyes at him, and drank the water. I also don't understand myself for being so emotional. Is it really like this when pregnant?I took several deep breaths until I calmed down. When he saw that I was calm, he immediately started the car."Are we going to sleep there?" I asked weakly as I leaned back in the chair."If you want to," h
Maybe I made the right decision to reduce my anger and listen. I feel better anyway. But I still can't fully accept Delton, especially since I remember the loss of Mommy.I sighed and immediately unbuckled the seatbelt after he parked the car in the parking lot."Are you alright, Savvy?" he immediately asked as I turned around."I'm good, Delton. Just don't piss me off again," I answered simply.He laughed softly before getting down and immediately opening the door for me. I was about to go out, but Delton didn't let go of the door."Why? Is there something wrong?" I asked, confused after seeing the nervousness in his eyes."Nothing, Savvy," he replied, holding my hand. "I hope you won't be angry that I'm in charge of the company," he said carefully.I raised an eyebrow and assessed myself to see if I was angry, but I couldn't be angry."Why? I thought it was yours at first?""Yes, Baby. But I don't want to invalidate your feelings—""It's totally fine, Delton. Don't mind me. Thank yo
"So I'm the exception?" I asked again the next day.He placed the plate of ham and bacon on the table before reaching down the table and holding it with both hands. He hissed a little and seemed to hide the smile that wanted to escape from his lips."You are the victim—"I raised an eyebrow causing him to stop, "Your victim, Delton. You captured—""Savvy, I told you, you are not part of the plan." He moaned softly, as if he was fed up with our conversation like this.I laughed weakly and bit my lip a little, "Ashley and you are planning this, right? Is your secretary an accomplice?" I continue."Damn, Baby," he softly moaned again, "Ashley was out of it—""So you're defending her?" I asked with a raised eyebrow before folding my arms in front of him.He cursed again and closed his eyes tightly. Stand up straight and face me. He gently touched both of my shoulders."She's just like a sister to me. I don't know everything Ashley did, and I'm not sure if she likes me. If only I knew—""I
I gasped after he let go of the kiss. I seemed to be taken out of breath and almost fainted by what he did."Please, Savvy. You can hate me, you can curse me, but please, don't unlove me," he pleaded softly as he buried his face in my neck."There's no need for that because I never loved you, Delton—"But I didn't even finish my lie when his two arms wrapped around my body and gave me a sensual kiss on my neck."Delton, what the hell!" I tried to stay away from him, but he only became more and more passionate."Will you please stop?" I was so shocked by my scream that he stopped."Am I hurting you?" It was a soft question. His breath barely touched my sensitive neck.I pursed my lips and didn't know what to answer. I was not hurt by his kisses."Savvy, I feel so low right now. I feel like you're just going to leave me alone. That you're going to ask to break up—""Shh, Delton. I'm not that stupid." I blinked even though he couldn't see, "I still need you," pretending to be my reason.
