I kept my mouth shut as I felt I was being unfair to him. Why did he even ask for marriage? What if I tell him I like Andres, will he let me go?I pouted a little again after remembering Andres. I wasn't able to bid my goodbye. I felt dismayed because of that and just looked out the window during the ride. Maybe because I have had a sleepless night and now I am sleepy. I felt the car stop and how my seat being reclined made me comfortable and let myself sleep.And when I woke up, the car wasn't on the road anymore. My vision was still blurry, but when I checked the driver's seat, Delton wasn't there anymore, and the car door was already open. I shrugged my shoulders and just got out of the car. I yawned and planned to scold him again, but my lips parted at the majestic house in front of me. It was a two-story house, but it looked so magnificent. Its details were painted in white, grey, and a little brown for each of the right places that made me gasp. I am not aware that these colors
I can't keep myself calm with the thought that we're going to sleep in one bed. If he is Andres, I would be willing to do so. But Delton? He's dangerous. He actually stole kisses. What more virginity, right?I stayed on the sofa the whole day, waiting for his secretary to go home. They spend the whole day together. They looked like they were newlyweds. That's why when she's about to go home, I breathe satisfyingly. I even stared boredly at how she finger combed her bouncy, curly hair.I can't help but compare my straight and blonde hair to hers. Her hair looks more lively than mine.When Ashley was gone, I ignored Delton, even though his full attention was on me. I even yawned while going upstairs. I walked directly to the master bedroom, but didn't enter.Why would I follow him? There are still three extra rooms. I can stay in one of the guestrooms.I quickly turned to face him with that thought in mind, but all I noticed was his chiseled chest. He is already in front of me, his hand
"What have you done, Savvy? I thought you didn't like me? Why did you harass me, baby? Didn't I tell you that if you want me, just say it to me?" He smirked and even tried to pull me closer to him, but I hurriedly moved away and got off of the bed. I felt irritated again with his accusation. I squinted my eyes at him and hugged myself tightly. We will never know. He might be the one who molested me last night."How could you, Delton?! And who the hell carried me and put me in bed? Isn't it you? If you cannot respect my human rights, then at least respect my personal space!" I rolled my eyes and quickly pulled the comforter and the pillow. And when I looked at him, he was already pouting a little, trying to stop himself from smirking. "And please, I didn't sign any agreement about this matter—""You vowed, "I do," Baby. That means you'll be right beside me through ups and downs. If you can't comply with that, well, I will. Don't mess with my married life, Mrs. Carancho."His brows w
I rubbed my face on the pillow many times. His kiss keeps playing on my mind. I can still feel the softness of his lips that is totally different from his firm aura. And I think I can still taste the sweetness of his tongue."Sage, sleep!" I shouted quietly, but then I felt the bed move."If you can't sleep on the bed peacefully beside me, then just hug me. You slept so well when you hugged me the last time," he mocked as I felt him moved closer.I glanced at him carelessly but quickly turned aside when I noticed his lips."M-ove away, Delton! Calm down—""What, Savvy? Isn't it you who needs to calm down?" he asked, confusedly.I almost slapped myself because of that. It was his fault that I was becoming insane. I now have no idea how I can still treat him savagely."Uhm. Just it! Calm down.I mean, sleep tight, then never wake up. I mean, sleep tightly." I cringed when I noticed his brows wrinkled and how he was staring at me with a stern expression.I hastily turned my back as I fixe
I stepped backward and immediately hid my hands behind my back. If I am going to wear the ring, that only means I have agreed to let others know that I am married.I cleared my throat and arched my brow."You cannot outsmart me, Attorney. You just want others to know that we are married—""Exactly, Mrs. Carancho. No one wants their property to be roaming around without a proper label, Savvy. And I don't intend to share what's mine." I was shocked a little by what he said, yet I could not stop my heart from celebrating a little either. Especially when our eyes met and saw his without any humour.I cleared my throat again while he, on the other hand, smirked and showed me the peach box."Take it or leave it, Savvy. Wear the ring, then you'll be able to paint again."He opened the box, and that made my eyes widen again. What I am seeing is the same ring I painted the last time. A simple white gold band, shining like the way I painted it."Uhm, can I touch it?"He hadn't yet replied, but
"Why did he even marry me if he's just going to house another woman?" I kept whispering that while fixing my canvas in the living room.I sat down on the high-stand chair and picked up the palette as I cast my eyes up the staircase.It was already evening, and yet they hadn't gone out of the office. Were they really like this even before? Literally a secretary with benefits!I pouted my lips and dipped my paint brush in the black paint.My stomach is grumbling already, but they are still inside of that office. Aren't they going to eat?I sighed as I started to let my brush touch the canvas and paint small dark circles in the middle.I bit my lip and restrained myself from going upstairs and knocking on their door. But I wasn't able to do so when I abruptly stood up, put down the palette and the brush, and took a few steps near the staircase.But I was taken aback when I saw him going downstairs, looking at me intently but with a little concern.I froze on my track and even waited for
I was tongue-tied and felt out of breath, and I know my cheeks are crimson red. When he didn't get any answer from me, he stood and walked near the refrigerator.And what is the kiss he is talking about? Ashley might already have ravished his lips, duh."I'm not worried, and I don't care what you want to do with your life, or with Ashley, Delton. Just don't let my parents know about this. One more thing, Andres—"I automatically shut my mouth when he slammed the refrigerator's door."I'm getting furious, Savvy. Don't ever mention someone else's name in front of me—""Just wow?" I laughed sarcastically, "I am not allowed to mention my crush, yet you are allowed to welcome girls into your house. Go hang out with Ashley!"I turned my back irritatedly and walked back into the living room. Don't be so childish, damn it! Nobody should be able to manipulate your desires, actions, or life!My brows are furrowed as I continue my painting. I can only see black, and I am not sure if I am doing i
The next morning, I can't help but smile, even though I had doubts about his smirk yesterday. Even at breakfast, my smile didn't fade."What's with your smile?" He asked as he put some garlic rice on my plate."Huh?" I took a glimpse, and all I could see was his annoyed look."Am I not allowed to smile, Attorney?" I arched my brow, and that made him knot his forehead deeply."I won't meddle with your happiness, just make sure I am part of it." He put down the utensil as he calmly stood.My lips parted and I looked at him with disbelief, "Attorney, maybe you forgot that you asked for this mess." The fact that I agree with this without my heart, only means that I will never be happy with you—""Then, I'll make you happy. Who's your request again? Andres? Fine, I'll hire that Andres here. Check the garden at ten am."That's what he said before he picked up his coat from the chair and turned his back. He walked straight out of the kitchen and didn't dare give me one last look.I shrugged
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.
