I squinted my eyes with that thought and abruptly clutched my pair of rust bikinis. It's a rust-seamless and sexy string bikini.I examined myself in front of the mirror after wearing it. I elegantly freed my hair and wore a thin robe.If I can't shoo Ashley away with harsh words, then maybe I can lure Delton and make him shoo Ashley away by himself.I sprayed cologne, though I knew it would be useless once I went down to the water. I added the red lipstick to my lips after remembering that Delton loves red lips. Oh, and maybe that's why Ashley was always wearing red lipstick.When I was satisfied with my look, I headed straight to the backdoor.And I am not wrong, they were really on the side of the pool and were both reading a folder. Looking at them, they look like a married couple who solves cases together. I believe Ashley brought the carbonara pasta and sandwiches, which are on the table.I smirked and slowly walked towards Delton. I saw him put down the folder and glance at me
"You are being a bad girl again, Savvy," he whispered as he found the string of my brassiere and pulled it without a second thought."Do you really think I will stay calm knowing that Ashley is here, Delton?" I asked coldly, but I cocked my head as soon as his lips traveled down my neck."Hm, if that's so, I didn't know she would visit here. Fine, I'm not going to let her come here anymore, Baby," he said, his breath becoming heavy. I nodded slowly and held his shoulder as I felt his palm on my thigh. I didn't even noticed that he was able to carried me as he encircled my legs on his waist."It appears that your plan is going as planned, Baby. Next time, do not tempt me when I am in the middle of a meeting, for I will have no mercy, Savvy. I can drop everything just for you."I smirked seductively and closed my eyes, feeling as if the butterflies in my stomach didn't know where to fly anymore. His grip on my both thighs tightened when he walked and hurriedly got inside the house.As
I was biting my lip as I stared at the documents with coffee stains. I couldn't find any right words to say as I could sense that he was looking at me intently."What now, Savvy?" His voice was bored.He has been asking me how we can fix those, but I have no idea how!My shoulders slumped as I pouted before giving him cute blinks."Kiss, Attorney?" I whispered, hoping that it would melt his anger."Kiss, Attorney?" I whispered, hoping that it would melt his anger.But instead of smiling, his forehead knotted as his brows furrowed. Every time I give him this treatment, I can literally feel how he was feeling. And even if I wanted to do the same, I couldn't, since I knew it was all my fault."Does your kiss make this document dry clearly, Savvy?" He coldly said as he tried to cage me between the table and his body."Huh? No, but at least it will melt your anger." I uttered unsurely.His eyes became serious. He looked down at my lips, then at the documents."Delton, maybe you can print t
"I don't know how to answer that, Delton." I bowed my head and stared at his arm that was holding my waist. I can even see the veins on it.He chuckled a little, "There's no question about that, Savvy. I don't want an answer, Baby. I am just informing you." His lip lifted.I pouted a little and was about to speak, but then his phone rang. We both looked back to the clean table and at his phone at the edge."I'll just answer it, Savvy."He let go of my waist and abruptly picked up his phone. His forehead creased as he accepted the call. Previously, amusement danced in his eyes, but now he completely lists it. His expression became deathly with a touch of sadness."Thanks, Attorney Santigao. Just send me the files tomorrow in my office. Goodnight." Then he put down the phone.He remained staring at the table before he faced me. His lips were totally on a thin line, and so I raised a brow, but he ignored it. He gently held my hand and intertwined it with his. He pulled me gently, then ki
"Please repeat what you have said, Delton," I uttered firmly.He closed his eyes tightly and held my arm firmly. And when he opened his eyes again, fear, doubt, and uncertainty were all that I saw."Please go with me if I ever leave, Savvy."My lips parted and I couldn't even breathe in response to what he said. It wasn't a question anymore, but a statement."Why, Delton? Where are you going?"He turned to me completely and held me firmly. He caught my eyes before he spoke."We will leave this all behind—"But we were both stunned as we heard something breaking. We both turned to Ashley, whose hand was shaking as her eyes were widening while looking at us. The shrunken cup of coffee and saucer were near her feet."You're leaving, Delton? You will leave this firm?" she asked with disbelief.I cocked my head and looked back at Delton. Just like Ashley, I do want to ask the same question.I saw how Delton pursed his lips and murmured a curse after he saw my intriguing stares. He turned h
"It's not about Daxton. This doesn't concern your parents, Savvy," His voice was firm, "This is a different thing, and I want your full cooperation."I nodded, though I doubted what he said, "So, my parents won't get involved with this?""N-o. I told you, this doesn't concern them.""Alright then. Just make sure they won't be at risk, or else, I don't know what I can do to you, Delton," I threatened.I saw him gulp, but he didn't look scared. He quietly tucked some strands of my hair behind my ear. After that, he pulled the swivel chair towards him."Savvy, can I kiss you to shoo away this frustration?" he asked, carefully.My lips pouted a little and I wanted to pinch myself for feeling the fireflies on my stomach."Why do you ask for permission? Isn't it that you just kiss without a word?" I acted by arching my brow.I heard him chuckle a little bit. It made the atmosphere light and as if we hadn't talked seriously about serious matters earlier."Savvy. Savvy. Savvy," he uttered my
"I want the red one, Delton." I pointed to the red tube brassiere so he would pick it up."This is embarrassing, Savvy. Why on earth am I doing this again?" he murmured impatiently.I pouted and continued checking the other displayed brassieres. I shrugged my shoulders and smiled innocently."Because I am your wife? I deserve to be served by Delton Carancho, right?" I boasted.His eyes beamed a little as his lips pursed. But then, I saw a ghost of a smile on his lips.His eyes became a little as his lips pursed. But then, I saw a ghost of a smile on his lips."How much do you want to spend on these brassieres and underwear? A hundred thousand, Savvy?" he asked with a sarcastic tone.I was at a loss for words when I remembered how much I spent the last time I went shopping. He didn't question that, but I know that is not good for him."Uhm, maybe around ninety-nine thousand only, Attorney. Don't worry, I'll buy you some briefs," I suggested.I was smiling while you could not paint his
I searched for the answer in his eyes, but they were just seriously looking at as if he wasn't thinking of any answer.I sat down, and heaved a heavy sigh."What if I don't want to be pregnant? Would you marry me, Delton?" I asked calmly.Though I found a glimpse of a way to escape from him, I did not expect the sadness I felt knowing that he would refuse just because I couldn't give him a child.He sat down as well and gently pulled me closer to him. He quietly left a kiss on my head before he hugged my waist and stomach."It will always be your choice, Savvy. I may dream of having an heir, but if you still don't want to conceive, then I will understand. Your body, your choice, baby," he whispered.I bit my lip firmly because of that. I felt a tingling sensation as he was being a gentleman. But of course, I don't want to believe that."That's a scam, Attorney. Even though I once asked you to pull out, I still vividly remember how you poured your liquid inside me—"I was unable to fin
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.
