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
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
"I'm going home! Please, do not dare to stop me!" I shouted when I heard his footsteps getting near on the walk-in closet I was in. I have been planning to escape for days and yet keep failing since he's here. He was able to stop me all the time! Frustrating!"Hm, yeah, Savvy-""Will you stop calling me Savvy? And please, let me go home!" I cut him with his sweet nothings. "Am I stopping you from going home? I don't, Savvy." He shook his head and leant on the door jamb. I stop myself from packing my clothes and underwear in the suitcase just so I can face him fearlessly. And yet, he's not looking at me. Instead, he's looking down at my scattered clothes on the floor. "You're not stopping me, but what the fuck with those guards on the gate, Delton? Your displays?!"He abruptly looked at me and even acted as if he had forgotten who I was referring to."Oh, you already forgot Mr. June and Mr. Baldo?" I added.That's the only time he nodded, "Yeah. They are the subdivision guards. Do
"Sage," I whispered as I finished my signature name on the canvas.I can't help but smile while admiring the bouquet of white roses that I painted. Someday, on my wedding day, I'm going to hold this bouquet of white roses with an attached peach color.My smile widened with that thought. I even glanced at the painted off-shoulder wedding gown, as well as an elegant white-gold stiletto."Good job, Sage," I praised myself before running to the windows and taking a secret glance at Andres, who was busy pulling weeds.I pouted a little and stared at him, who looked savagely handsome under the hot sun. And even if he stood too far, I can imagine how his sinful sweat traveled from his forehead down to his sexy neck.My lips formed a smirk with his image in my mind. But then, my reverie faded as I parted my lips upon seeing the entrace of the grey Montero sport into our white high gate.I swallowed an invisible lump, and I don't know why I am suddenly nervous. I automatically hid behind the
I've realized he could be a way to escape this princess life. The only offer is to marry him and not to live with him.That morning, I already planned to marry him and escape. It's a dream come true to be able to live in the middle of nowhere and earn my own money. I'm going to sell my artwork and put on an exhibition.I smirked widely as I went down, running into the living room. But then, my feet automatically stopped when my eyes met the dark stares of the man that I painted last night. He's there, sitting and leaning against the backrest of the sofa, as if he owned the freaking mansion. His lips moved a little, and he intriguingly scanned my whole being. I was tongue-tied, and at that moment, my confidence was nowhere to be found. When a sinful smirk appeared on his sinful lips as he stared deeply into my eyes, I felt ashamed and wanted to flee.I almost had goosebumps and felt my face go bloodless."Did you paint again, Sage? How many times do I have to tell you to stop that non
I have been so out of myself the past few days, wondering if I made the right decision to marry him. I think it would be better to let my parents go to jail than to tie the knot with the attorney. He can choke you through his gaze! I carefully put down the paintbrush on the highstand table and stared lovingly at the wedding bonds that I had just finished. It was a sparkling gold that kept captivating my eyes. I wrote my name on the other one while I am still undecided about what name should be written on the other one. I planned on writing Andres, but I know that can't be.I sighed as I approached the window. There, I found Andres again pulling grass. Even if I am only seeing his back, I know he looks so muscular with his muscle tee. I felt bad for him. How can he manage to settle for being a gardener if he can always find a high-paying job?Hays, Andres. Can't you be just the Attorney?I leant my head against the window and stared deeply at him. But my eyes widened when he looked at
My lips moved a little as my hand sweated. I felt my stomach getting cold, and my heart almost stopped beating with the tension. To think Delton Carnacho is waiting for me makes me want to run away out of fear.My feelings didn't even calm down when I saw the Sweet Café. The surroundings were quiet, and there was no other car aside from that black Mercedes-Benz, black like Attorney Carancho's eyes!My nervousness faded away after realizing that there were no customers inside. That means, no one will witness the signing of the contract. I abruptly removed my seatbelt, got out of the car, and went straight to the coffee shop. But my forehead knotted when I saw the chairs were all fixed on both sides of the cafe, and not only that, there was also a red carpet in the middle. I looked through the counter where I saw a demon standing. I mean, an attorney.I am not sure if I am imagining things, but he looked like a good angel in his white three-piece suit. He even had that red rose on the s
I feel like I just ruined my life by tying the knot with this Attorney. Did he really believe that I would go with him to his house? Never. If I can, I will escape right now.I looked at the cafe's main door simply and wanted to run away immediately. I had already taken one step, but then, I was halted when someone grabbed my wrist."Where do you think you're going, Savvy?"He managed to pull me closer to him and encircled his strong arm around my waist."What else do you want?! I want to go home! The wedding was done! ""Not yet, Savvy. What else is the purpose of your red lips if we don't take pictures? As I told you, this will only happen once in my life, and I want remembrance."I laughed sarcastically as I looked at him. He gazes at me as if he really does love me."Then you should have tried to be an actor. You're so good at acting." I simpered and tiptoed a little just so I could be closer to him while he, on the other hand, was busy gawking at my red lips."Okay, good shot! On

"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.
