I fell silent and pursed my lips. I didn't forget that I was married to him. It's just that it's so hard to accept.And when I didn't talk back, he caressed his hair, then his chin."Get ready, we'll leave now," he coldly commanded.I have no choice but to follow him. Mommy was even sad when I hopped in the car. My feelings became heavy along the ride. Plus the fact that we didn't head home but to his law firm. The three big wedding pictures were still hanging in the lobby, making me roll my eyes."Why aren't you removing those yet?"I followed him on the elevator and stood at his side."I don't have any reason to hide them. If you don't want to see them, then close your eyes, Savvy."I hissed and hurriedly got out of the elevator when we reached the top floor. I entered his office first."What's with this bratty attitude again, Savvy?"I rolled my eyes again and sat down on his swivel chair. He was left with no choice but to go in front of his table. He was standing there while both
"Steamy huh?" I whispered as I pulled the blanket.It bugs me that I cannot sleep with what Ashley confessed. Delton was already sleeping peacefully while I was still being hunted by Ashley's voice.Don't tell me they have an office romance?I was so irritated that I buried my face in the pillow."Urgh! They should be the ones bonding on the bed!" I screamed, though Delton was in deep slumber.Out of annoyance, I sat down and glared at Delton, but I was facing his back. How can I believe him that they don't have a thing if Ashley already confessed their relationship? Is it a secret affair, huh?I heaved a sigh and stared intently at him. He does look like an angel when sleeping; no dark aura. He looks peaceful and as if he is not problematic at all.I crouched a little and looked closer at his face. In my eyes, he was perfectly made. His lips are so luscious.I lay down again but was still facing him. My face is just an inch away from his. And I was in that position when his eyes open
"I am no kid, Delton!" I protested before ending the call.I wanted to curse, but I just turned my annoyance and attention to the video of how to cook chicken wings. I also tried to make a cup of coffee as I watched.But I was caught off guard when the video stopped and the number of Delton flashed on the screen.I answered it weakly."An hour hasn't yet passed, and here you are calling. I am not yet cooking, Delton!" I uttered before mixing the coffee."Hm. I just want to check on you. You might burn the kitchen, Baby.""Fine! I won't gonna cook—""Alright, I will not call again. Just message me if something bad happens. Goodluck, Savvy," he abruptly said before ending the call.I was already grinning when I watched the video. I wrote the recipe exactly as Mister June arrived. I said thanks for bringing the chicken wings."Make it delicious, Miss Sage! So the attorney won't look for another woman," he jokingly said, but that wiped out my smile.While thinking about what Mister June h
I laughed sarcastically, "You helped her? Or did you bed her?"With his look, I can't think of anything but the worst. They probably played steamy in bed!I felt disappointed and betrayed. My knees wobble as I feel a sheering pain inside me, but I won't let him see that.I looked at him bravely. I saw how he closed his eyes, bowed his head and fisted his hair."Savvy, I am deeply sorry, you waited—""Yes, Delton. I waited! And it's fucking three in the morning, Delton! Now you are telling me you helped her? That's a fuckup! No one will help a woman for the whole fucking night! "My chest was panting out of anger. I felt like my emotions were mixed up. I stood and shook my head as I stared at him. He looked at me helplessly, but my defenses were as thick as a rock at the time. He stood as well and tried to approach me."Where did you help her? What were her specifications? Oh yeah, right! She told me you were both steamy, Delton! "I just wanted to cry upon remembering what Ashley told
My feelings were heavy as I turned my back and pulled the blanket up to my chest. I am still hurting from his explanation."Savvy, I'm sorry. I should have called you."My lips drew a smirk at his realization."I've never made an effort in my life, Attorney. And yet, you wasted it. Did you see your chicken wings? I guess they are damn cold now and probably taste awful."I heard him sigh as the bed moved when he moved closer to me. Then I felt his warmth at my back."I ate them all, Savvy. They are salty, but still, I ate them all."My eyes widen and I sit abruptly."Salty? Did I say that you should eat them?"He sat down as well and caressed his ear."It's morning, Baby. Don't shout."I pouted and looked at the blanket. "You shouldn't have eaten them. It was my first time cooking those. I had no idea that they became salty. You should have thrown them away."I heard his low chuckle as he embraced his arm around my stomach. He even kissed my shoulder, making me look away."It's okay, S
"When did you learn to wear a two-piece bikini? I wasn't informed," he murmured as he looked at me with knotted brows.My forehead creased and I looked at him confused."The fuck, Delton? We aren't yet married for three months, so you don't have an idea. How would you know if we only knew each other right before we got married?" I raised a brow and lay down on a sun lounger while he sat at the side and faced his laptop.He didn't say anything against it, but he pursed his lips. He looked away as his brows met."So, my investigation was wrong," he whispered."Pardon, Delton? Are you saying anything?""What?" He looked at me as if he hadn't said anything."What, what, attorney? I am asking, what are you murmuring over there?"He bit his lower lip before he shrugged. He stood up and closed his laptop."I'll get you something to eat. I'll be back in a few minutes," he said, but it seemed like he was talking to himself.I hadn't yet nodded my head when he left abruptly. My forehead knotted
Andres silently nodded his head and scratched his nape."Sure, Miss Sage. I'll join you."I nodded and removed Delton's sando. I harshly threw it on his laptop, which made his lips part."I will look for someone I can bond with as an attorney. Drown yourself in your work."I ignored the anger I saw in his eyes. All I did was to cling my hand to Andres' arm and pull him towards the sea."Come here, Savvy! You won't swim with anyone else! Fuck! Stop walking!"I played deaf as I tightened my grip on Andres, who just smiled innocently."How did you manage to come here?" I whispered.He smiled shyly, which showed his small dimple at the side of his lips."Through Miss Ashley, Miss Sage. Miss Nenita called on the law firm and said you weren't there, so they gave me fare to go here."I nodded, "And why would Miss Nenita look for me? Is there any problem in the mansion, Andres?"We stopped when we reached the shore. I faced him. His eyes showed hesitation and became problematic with my questi
"Put me down, Delton!"Instead of listening, I heard his low chuckle. His palm sensually touched my back."You look so cute and ravishing, Baby. Those good lips of yours need punishing. You shouldn't doubt a trusted man, or you'll end up on the bed, screaming to reach the glory—""Shut up, Delton! I am not weak!" I screamed.We were both stunned by my scream. We stared at each other as we breathed heavily.And maybe, I am so really weak when it comes to my needs that I found myself laying on the bed, under him, while gripping the bedsheet tightly."Damn, Savvy. I am losing control," he murmured as he left sweet and wet kisses on my belly up until he reached my inner thigh."Ahh, Delton!"I closed my eyes tightly and felt his lips kiss what was in the middle. My toes curled as the sensation heated me.I can feel the trembling of my knees as well as the heat all over my body. much more when his finger does wonders, and that made me fixate on the pleasure."Y-ou can always scream and sto
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.
