SEEING ETHAN’s ex-girlfriend, who insulted her back in the company’s comfort room, Michelle was taken aback. She swallowed the lump in her throat and gave Ethan a confused look.

Ethan noticed his wife’s expression, seeing Ashley with his parents. He wrapped his arm around her waist and whispered to her ear, "She’s my parents’ goddaughter. She’s close with them."

Michelle quickly understood, but it didn’t change the fact that she didn’t like Ashley, not because she had a past with Ethan, as she couldn’t give a damn about it, but because her mere presence was telling her that she was up for anything that might cause trouble.

Nevertheless, Michelle had only one goal for tonight, and that was to end the day without any conflict, and somewhat please Ethan’s parents since it was part of their contract. With that in mind, she offered them her warmest smile.

She looked at the woman who seemed to be in he

    MICHELLE HAD to swallow her disappointment. She could not believe that she was with these people who showed her fake smiles but would attack her like rabid animals as soon as Ethan stepped out of the dining room."See, Aunt Selene? Uncle?" Ashley blurted out. "She can’t answer the question because she’s ashamed to tell you that she’s a gold digger."If there was one thing Michelle hated about rich people, it was their sense of superiority and being big fans of inclusivity. They thought highly of themselves, to the extent that when they encountered a person who didn’t belong in the same circle, their true behavior would come out so easily.For them, social status was important. In their eyes, poor people are just threats.Michelle took a deep breath. The look of Ethan's parents and Ashley's annoying smirk made her heart beat fast in her chest."Michelle? Can you answer my question please?" Selene’s voice was a bit demanding."You should’ve done a background check. Poor people always li

    MICHELLE WAS speechless. Her eyes couldn’t stop looking at the man in front of them.He was Ethan’s brother. That explained why his marble gray eyes looked very familiar, as Ethan had the same eye color as his."Mich, he’s my older brother, Jacob," Ethan said, with a hint of contempt in his tone."So it’s true that you finally got married, huh?" Jacob smiled and stared down at Michelle. "It’s nice to finally meet you, Michelle.""Likewise, Jacob..." she said shyly.Jacob offered his hand for a shake. Michelle inhaled heavily and accepted it. To her surprise, Jacob kissed the back of her hand.But Ethan was fast enough to take her hand off of his grip. Michelle found it rude, and gave her husband a death glare, but Ethan couldn’t care less. His jaw was clenched as he looked at his older brother, who had come back from God knows where."I didn’t hear you would go home," he said."Dad phoned me. He told me we were going to have a family dinner.""Since when did you start to care about fa

    WHAT A LONG DAY, Michelle thought.She exhaled and massaged the bridge of her nose. It was one hell of a family dinner that had taken almost four hours of her remaining night. The family she just dealt with must’ve missed one another so much. A lot of topics, laughter, and even jokes were talked about. Ethan’s parents acted like nothing ever happened when their son left the dining room for a couple of minutes. They acted so perfectly, proving how great liars they were.It was almost midnight when Michelle and Ethan arrived home. They both went upstairs, and before Michelle could enter her bedroom; her husband threw her one unbelievable question."What do you think about my parents? They are greatly kind, aren’t they?"She spun around to face him. He was glancing at her. His expression was soft.Michelle could tell by the way he looked at him that he really had a great time at that dinner. She smiled at him. Even though her impress

    SITTING AT THE table with all the employees of the Human Resource team, Michelle focused on the meeting. Being the secretary to the CEO of the company, she needed to attend every departmental meeting and provide minutes to Ethan afterward to keep him updated about the latest work and projects of every department in the company.Jotting down on her notes, Michelle listened to the new operation manager of the HR department, whose name was Jane, and who officially assumed the position last week. Everyone was attentive, and so Michelle thought that the meeting would end smoothly.However, just when she thought that the situation could be handled, an employee blurted out her opinion during the question and answer period, which made her very uncomfortable."So, Ms. Scott, what are your thoughts when it comes to employees getting their position under the table?" Linda asked, one of the HR leaders.Jane laughed as she turned off the projector. "That’s a sha

    THERE WAS a sudden shift in the air when Ethan entered the meeting room. The employees became uneasy, and could not look at their CEO in the eye. In one instance, the guilt on their faces was evident.Michelle's mouth trembled. Her tears continued to fall down her cheeks. She took a long breath and paused because what had just occurred was too much for her to grasp, and it had struck her right in the core.She expected her career at the company to come to an end shortly. Nobody made her feel welcome within the place. The employees refused to accept her no matter how hard she tried to show them that she was capable. They just regard her as a seductress who got her position by working under the table...And it hurt the most."No one is going to tell me what happened?" The thunderous sound of Ethan's voice echoed across the room. Her heart raced with terror and anticipation, as she had never heard his voice that enraged before.She fisted her hand, an

    DAMN IT!Michelle was only able to swear in her head. Her chest swelled and she glared fiercely at her husband.She stayed speechless and just stared up at Ethan, who was obviously getting eaten up by his high emotions. She couldn't understand why he had to meddle in her affairs, let alone wreck her plans by announcing that they were married and breaking the contract's rules.She caught her breath. Clenching her hand, she mustered the courage to speak up."You don’t understand where I am coming from." She shook her head. "That’s why it’s easy for you to say that. I clearly told you before that I wanted to protect my reputation, but what did you do? You signed the contract and yet you breached it yourself—"She wasn’t able to finish her words as Ethan pinned her on the couch and kissed her on the lips. She was shocked at what he did. Her eyes were wide open and her lips couldn’t make a single move. But it was just

    EVERY TIME she blinked, Michelle would see herself making out with Ethan in his office. She huffed in frustration. She did not know what crossed her mind to let it happen after the mind-blowing revelation that happened in the meeting room together with the HR team, but since then, her mind could not seem to be at ease.How could she be at ease when everything changed after that incident? Following that particular event, Ethan made an official announcement the next day, declaring to the world that he was finally married to none other than her. He did not leave any single piece of information, thus her identity became known to every single person inside and outside the company in just one statement."Don’t you find it too romantic? You are so effin’ lucky, girl!" Megan shrieked in glee."Tone down your voice, Meg. Everyone here is looking at us," she called her out through her gritted teeth.Megan visited her in the office so they could catch up

    HER THOUGHTS swirled chaotically, her stomach twisting and her arms tightening as she glanced at the man sitting on his swiveling chair and looking at her intently."What did you say?" she asked, her voice fainting, seemingly unable to believe what she had just heard and hoping she had heard it wrong."Your father was arrested. He got himself into gambling trouble again."Michelle caught her breath. Her eyes widened at the sudden news that struck her to the core. Even though she did not receive the love and affection from the old man, she couldn’t deny how worried she had become right now. Even her palms were sweating."At which police station is he imprisoned? I need to go check on him," she asked, going into an instant panic.Ethan let out a sigh and leaned his back against his chair. "I already took care of it.""What?""I paid the penalty so the cops could let him out."Michelle was speechless. She didn’t know h

    "THE VICTIMS were sent to the hospital for proper treatment," the cops told her the moment she arrived in the area where the accident happened. Michelle could not stop crying and asked the policeman which hospital her husband had been brought to, driving immediately as soon as she got the answer she needed. She dialed Megan’s phone number and informed her best friend about the name of the hospital so she could follow because she knew that Andrew also needed her. When she arrived in the hospital, she felt nothing but the dreadful feeling coursing through her. She wanted to compose herself, but her mind was already haywire because of all the worry she had for her husband. It felt like the rest of the world stopped revolving, and all she did was run and run... "Two victims of a car accident were sent to this hospital. Where are they?" she managed to ask the front desk officer. "How are you related to the victims, Ma’am?" "I am the wife of one of them," she answered, taking a deep bre

    MICHELLE walked down the stairs with Marcus in her arms. She just finished breastfeeding him and now wanted to hang out with the people in the garden.The Steinfields, her father, and Megan were all out there, preparing for the New Year’s Eve that they would celebrate that night. They all came together to welcome another New Year, and she could not be more thankful that these people came to their house to join them for another chapter of their lives."Look at that little pumpkin. He has gotten bigger, Mich," Gregory commented and immediately took his grandson from her arms.Michelle giggled. "That baby loves to sleep and eat every single time.""He looks definitely like you when you were a baby.""I believe he definitely looks like Ethan. See those marble gray eyes, Dad?"Gregory chuckled. "Well, eyes won’t lie, I guess.""Of course, Dad."She could not help but smile seeing her father try to make Marcus giggle by making faces. It was such an adorable sight, and she felt honored to wi

    SHE glanced around the men's boutique, her curious eyes efficiently trying to find good clothes or anything she could give Ethan as a gift for their year-end party. Ethan already had anything; name it and anyone would find it in his vast walk-in closet. That being said, Michelle was having difficulty deciding on the best gift she could give him—that one thing that would make him smile and surprise him."There are so many designer shoes at that corner. But I don’t know which one is good for Andrew," Megan stated, and it was followed with a sigh of defeat. "God, why is it so hard to find gifts for men?"Michelle laughed a bit. She could relate, as she was having difficulty choosing too. It just so happened that they both married men who had everything, so every year they’d end up cracking their heads trying to get them nice gifts."Are you able to choose anything?" Megan curiously asked her.She shook her head, pouting her lips. "Not yet. I don’t think work suits would be a good gift. H

    HE brushed his fingertips over the soft angles of his wife’s face and could not help but adore every feature she had. It was his morning routine whenever he got to wake up first in the morning, and he would find his wife still sleeping soundly next to him.Needless to say, he’d become easily addicted to her and to this kind of morning with her. Her strawberry scent that kept him enticed every single day, her soft skin that kept him warm at nights, her laughter and soft touches that kept him sated and content, and her presence that made his world colorfulHe had no idea that a man like him, who had amnesia, could be in love so hard; madly and deeply. However, he wanted to treasure that moment at all costs. This kind of beauty in his life needed to be protected and kept.Michelle’s forehead formed a knot as she lifted her head. A soft moan escaped her closed mouth, which made him smile. Seconds later, she slowly opened her eyes and met his intent gaze."Good morning," he murmured under

    "YOU’RE making me crave for sex," Ethan said, kissing her neck and sucking her skin sensually.Michelle’s lips parted. She was in deep pleasure, and whenever Ethan would say things like that, a big lustful part of her was getting more aroused.Her hands traveled around his firm back. She touched the muscles he had there. A moan escaped her lips when Ethan bit her neck firmly, making her dig her nails over her bare skin. She bit her lower lip and shut her eyes, but when Ethan claimed her lips again, everything went so fuzzy.It didn’t take long before the man was able to strip her naked. The cold air brushed against her skin, making her shiver. But when Ethan pulled up to stare at—admire—her naked body, she felt the scorching heat go to her. He looked at her as if she were a piece of beautiful art. The gleaming desire to take her was evident in his marble gray eyes, and the smile of contentment that curled in his lips gave her more confidence."You’re beautiful, Mich..." Ethan said bre

    The ring of her cell phone jolted her awake. With a forehead crease, Michelle rose up and quickly turned off the alarm on her cell phone. It was already 6 o’clock in the morning. She hadn’t been able to sleep for at least six hours, but she had to get up and follow the "mom on call" schedule to better take care of her little sunshine—none other than Eionn Marcus.It had been what? A month had passed when she gave birth to their second child, and Michelle could still feel the excitement getting through her whenever she would walk into the nursery room, open the curtained windows to let the sunlight lighten up the entire solemn place, and wake up her little one by planting kisses on his fluffy cheeks.It had been her morning routine. She was strictly following the "mom on call" schedule because it wasn’t only giving her much time to bond with her baby but also making sure that Marcus’ health was always a top priority."Good morning, my little sunshine..." she greeted her baby with a hea

    THE CAR was filled with her whimpers, cries and screams. Her nails dug over the leather seat in the passenger seat. She was lying down there, making a few deep breaths to relax herself but the great amount of pain consuming her entire body was making her ballistic and a mess.Beads of sweat had formed on her forehead. Her legs and belly were both getting numb as the minutes passed by. Ethan was driving the car so fast, completely alarmed by her situation. He was panicking so much, and so even she was in great pain, she reminded him to drive carefully as she didn’t want them to get into some road accident.“Oh, my God...” she murmured, crying. “I think I’m going to die. He’s coming out. Faster, Ethan!”“Uhm, you just told me to slow down a bit,” Ethan said nervously.“Fuck. I swear this will be the last time you’d be able to impregnate me!” she screamed on the top of her lungs and made a push before she took a few deep breaths again. “I really swear to God—““Calm down, Mich!

    AFTER A MONTH, "WILL you be fine without us?" Michelle looked at her father. At first, she thought that the old man was teasing her, seeing how he curled his lips downward, but she realized that he was actually worried, seeing the worry in his eyes. Still smiling, she took a deep breath and softened her expression as she looked at her father, who she hadn't realized had become more frail as time passed. She was so busy with her life that she wasn’t able to watch out for her father. Distracted by what life had thrown her way, she didn’t notice that her father was really getting older. "I’m going to be fine." She checked over her shoulder and found Ethan, who was fixing a chandelier’s light bulb in the living room. "Ethan will be here, so you shouldn’t worry that much. I hope you and Marsha would enjoy hanging out." Her old man laughed heartily, shaking his head. He and Marsha would go to the school where they enrolled the little girl. It was going to be Marsha’s first day in her ne

    "GOSH, you have to calm down, Mich!" Megan said.Michelle shook her head, pacing back and forth in the living room. Her mother-in-law called an hour ago, saying that they would send Ethan back home. Selene did not mention whether the result of the surgery turned out well or not, so she could not calm down a bit even though the people around her were telling her to do so.Megan and Andrew came to visit as they were excited to find out how the surgery went. All of them were in the living room, waiting for her husband to arrive. Holding her pregnant belly, she didn’t stop walking around, getting very impatient as she wanted to know how the surgery turned out for Ethan."I don’t understand why Mom didn’t tell me how it went," she said and stopped in front of them, biting her fingernails. "Do you think it went bad and that’s why she couldn’t tell me?""We can’t assume, Mich," her father said, sipping on his coffee."Your Dad is right. We can’t assume unless we see it personally," Andrew ad
