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
He even combed my hair using his fingers and gave my head a sweet kiss."Let's sleep, Baby." He murmured as he let me settle my head on his hard chest.I settled my hand on his waist and smiled a little."I thought you wanted a ride, Attorney." I teasedHe caressed my hair up to my back. After that, I felt the warmth of the blanket up to my chest."Next time, Savvy. I will let you drive... me," he teased.We both chuckled at that. He embraced me tightly and showered my head with sweet, tiny kisses.And even though I was tired, I was still able to sleep peacefully. He kept on caressing my hair and back.But I woke up disoriented when he put me down. I tugged on his arm to sleep again, but his sweet chuckle is what I heard."Wake up, Sleepyhead. It's almost sunrise. You might wanna see how the sun rise," he whispered.I opened my eyes just to meet his dark orbes. This time, I was not afraid of how dark his eyes were. I even admired them and how expressive they were."I'm still sleepy, A
"I'll follow." I held the blanket carefully and lay down sideways.I quietly watched him as he fixed his necktie."Dress up, and I'll wait for you," he commanded, but I shook my head immediately."I'm fine. I'll just go to the law firm alone. I'll ask Mister June and Mister Baldo to send me there."I saw how his forehead knotted. His eyes squinted as he approached me and sat down at the side of the bed."Are you sure? There is still more time. I can wait, Baby."I held the blanket more tightly as I sat down and crawled near him. He abruptly held my waist."It's okay, Attorney. You're going to be late. I'll be there before lunch. Probably at 10 a.m. I Promise!" I raised my hand to promise.He sighed and fixed my messy hair."Alright. Don't forget to call me when you get there, Savvy," he whispered as he planted a sweet kiss on my forehead.When he was about to stand, I quickly grabbed his suit and crashed my lips on his. It was fast, but I felt ashamed of what I did. My cheeks heated i
He fell silent, which awoke my nervousness. I gulped and backed away from his embrace."Tell me honestly—""There's no problem, Savvy," he butted in.My brow arched and I squinted my eyes at him, "So why are you talking to our family lawyer then?""We're working in the same field, and sometimes we exchange ideas, Savvy." He shrugged his shoulders and guided me to sit on the sofa.Well, he has a point, but I don't understand why I still have doubts and don't want to believe him, plus the fact that Ashley's words flashed on my mind.I breathed heavily and stood up. He glanced at me, but I pointed to the bathroom inside his office."Uhm, I'll just wash my hands," I murmured.And when he nodded, I headed to the bathroom. I abruptly turned on the water as soon as I entered."Calm down, Sage. Don't think negatively," I murmured to myself.I waited until I was calm before going out. I saw him holding his phone in his ear and when he saw me, he ended the call and put it down on the table."Wh
"Time has passed, and yet why didn't you still come up with any answer, Deton?"I closed my eyes as I looked at him. We were already home, but he didn't give me any answers yet."What answer do you want to hear? As I told you, Attorney Santiago is just asking about a case he is holding." His brows were furrowed as he shook his head. He walked towards the walk-in closet, but I followed him. I didn't go out, though he undressed his coat and long sleeves."Are you sure you aren't hiding something?""Savvy, why would I hide something? I have no reason to hide anything."But I have doubts about that. Though Attorney Santiago was already old, he was still handsome. Even a man can have a crush on himself, and it's no wonder that he might.... I closed my eyes and wanted to wash away what I had thought about Delton, but my lips uttered what was on my mind."Why is he always calling you?" I asked again as I opened my eyes.He looked away and abruptly got a sweatpant. I didn't blink as he wore
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.
