I don't know how to react anymore, much more when I saw Mister June and Mister Baldo, waving while holding a big box."Miss Sage, Attorney ask for this!" Mister June shouted.My forehead creased and I got curious about what they had brought, but I still managed to give them a smile and ask them to just put down the box at the villa."Huh? I am with Delton, Mister June. And why would he send me a package?"We are still on the beach and have not yet decided when to go home. I am still in love with waves, cold air, white sand, and, of course, the sunset.I saw Mister Baldo scratching his nape and smiled wryly," It's not a package, Miss Sage. These are your painting tools."I pouted a little as ticklish feeling crept inside my stomach. "Alright then, just leave it there." I gave them a big smile and waved.I bit my lower lip with excitement. I can now plan in my mind what to paint. Red, yellow, and orange are coming to live in my imagination. "You like it?"I stopped myself from openin
I felt the butterflies in my stomach become alive again. They were freed and traveled all over my body. And maybe they reached my heart, for it beats louder and faster than ever.I was tongue-tied and didn't know how to answer. In the end, I cleared my throat and pointed at the box."I'll go and paint." I bowed my head as I could not look at him.I escaped from his hug and quietly opened the box, but his hands were so fast that he managed to put all the things out of the box and place them in front of the sea."Is this view enough, Savvy? Or do you want a more glorious exposure of the sunset? I can look for a good place," then, he stared at the sunset."Uhm, this is enough. This is actually perfect. Sunset at the seashore."The view was majestic, and I didn't want him to spend more just for the sunset. A sunset on a balcony is already enough. What more of this sunset on the beach? Super enough!I smiled as I looked at the sunset. It symbolizes a new beginning. And I hope tomorrow is r
"Stop me, then run, Savvy," he whispered, and yet he managed to bite my ear a little and even lay me down on the white sand carefully.I parted my lips and looked at him softly. I found it in his eyes, the intensity of wanting this to happen. I felt my body aching for this as well. However, I will never want him to think that I can easily give in."I guess, this is part of the truce, Attorney?" I muttered.He stopped kissing my jaw. He lifted his head, and I felt like my heart was embraced by cold when he looked at me sharply. The lust was still there, but the anger was slowly mixing with it."Truce, Baby? So you are not spreading your legs for me willingly? You think this is an obligation?" he murmured, but then, he closed his eyes and nodded a little before he opened them again, "Yeah, it is your obligation to pleasure me."I felt his hot palm travel onto my thigh, but I met his stare and arched my brow. He was caressing it and squeezing it a little."Do you really think I will allo
My nails dug into his back firmly and even scratched it. My legs automatically encircled around his waist as I felt the heat rising inside and wanted so badly to release it.As his movements became faster, the sound of the bed became louder as well, which is why I held tightly onto his body."Damn, Baby. This is ecstatic," he murmured again as he moved.My toes almost curled as my heart raced when I finally reached my release. I even felt him breathing heavily when he followed and poured all of his liquid inside.And that made me wake up."The fuck, Delton! You didn't use protection!"And though I was weak, I slapped his back. That made him chuckle. I felt a tingling sensation in my neck because of that chuckle."Too late, Baby. My new baby is swimming," he happily said.And when he settled and looked into my eyes, the ticklish sensation traveled through my stomach. He even smirked a little, making me blink. In my opinion, he looked more gorgeous now that he was tired and sweaty. This
My cheeks kept on burning whenever I saw him topless. It has been two days since we got back home from the resort, but still, my mind kept on remembering what had happened on the beach, and more whenever I see his back that is full of my scratches.I looked away quickly when he took a glance at me. I held the paintbrush firmly and forced myself to focus on the painting that I couldn't completely finish. It was still the sunset. I just needed to complete the minor finishing touches. But then, I cannot do so since Delton keeps on walking around me, letting me see his naked back with my scratches.I tightly closed my eyes and shook my head as I remembered what happened inside the bathroom. What he said that we're only going to take a bath is a scam! And I don't want to go down with the details of how I became crazy and insane in the shower with him.And when I opened my eyes, his serious and deep dark eyes were what I saw. His face was an inch away from mine, and that made me move backwa
I am sure I am seeing black right now with irritation and annoyance from what he was saying, much more with his smirk. His arm, which was certainly tightening around my waist, didn't help at all.He leaned a little closer, and that made me blink my eyes. He must have felt my stares and even parted his lips a little."Savvy, I don't like using filtered words. I am saying what I want, baby. What you hear from me is all honesty."I gulped at his seriousness as well as when he fixed my baby bangs on my forehead before he closed his eyes. And I panicked a little as I saw his lips getting near mine. There's only a little space before it can dive into my lips if the doorbell didn't ring.His eyes opened and he spat out curses. He closed his eyes once more, and when he opened them, he was agitated. That's when his phone rang from his pocket. He abruptly took it out of his pocket as his eyes didn't leave mine.I simply focused by staring at the carbonara and biting my lower lip. My heartbeat w
I rolled on the bed a lot and was already pissed as I looked up at the ceiling. The night was already deep, and yet, there was still no Delton entering the master bedroom.I left him earlier with Ashley, but I knew that Ashley had already gone home. That's why I am doubting why he wasn't yet here. I already took a nap and all, but there's no sign that he was lying at the side of the bed. I am already used to his arm around my waist, and him being by my side makes me bothered.I sat and bit my bottom lip. I hate this feeling, and I know I shouldn't feel this way. Delton is a gorgeous man, kind and very caring, but he wasn't my type at all. All I can give him is just a pure crush. Nothing more.I realized that not all people who are intimate with each other love each other. Like me, yes I am giving in, but I don't love Delton at all. And maybe he doesn't like me either.I sighed and hurriedly stood up and went out of the room. I took a glance at his home office. It was closed, but there
His serious eyes caused me to lose my tongue and become unable to speak. Regardless of which choice I make, I will still end up close to him. I just got the cup of coffee and sipped from it, but I abruptly vomited the coffee with its bitterness."The fuck! It's so bitter!""It's delicious, Baby," he complimented, trying to change the topic.My cheeks flushed as I saw that he had drunk half of it, even though it was so bitter. He even got the cup from me without my permission and drank all of it."Why did you drink it all?!""This is your first time making coffee. I don't want to waste a drop, Baby. This may be part of our truce, but let me just think that we're a normal married couple, Savvy."He smiled simply making me shut my mouth. I do know that we're not a normal couple."I will go to the sofa," I murmured, but he nodded.I lay down on the sofa and forced myself to sleep, though I heard him talk to Attorney Santiago a few times on a phone call. I ignored it and smelled his natura
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.
