2024-10-29 19:42:56THERE 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

NO ONE on the dance floor appeared to be bothered, even though Michelle was already screaming for help. Even though she felt dizzy due to the several glasses of Dos Aquis she drank, she mustered up her courage to push the blonde man who was trying to kiss her."D—Don’t touch me!" She yelled at her and when she got the chance, she slapped him really hard on the face.Her eyes widened the moment she realized what she had done. The man was completely shocked. However, after a few seconds, he gave her a hard look, as if he was telling her that she’d be punished, which brought a sheer amount of terror inside her chest."You f*cking whore!"The man was about to hit her, and so she shielded herself using both of her arms. However, a hand never landed on her."Were you just trying to hit my wife?" said in a cold, deep voice.Michelle’s heart rate picked up. Even though her world was spinning crazy out of tipsiness, she could

MICHELLE flipped around when she felt the sunshine peeping through the curtains. She let out a gasp, feeling the throbbing pain in her head."Where am I?" she asked herself.Her eyes surveyed the room. She drew in a breath, seeing the familiar stuff in the secret room with her husband. Everything that happened last night began to replay in her mind in the blink of an eye, from how Ethan saved her from a perverted man in the bar, to how she teased him inside the car, and how she initiated everything until they ended up warming each other on the bed."Fuck," was the only word she could utter.She palmed her face and could not help but wince. She could feel the sourness of the spot in between her legs, which served as a reminder of her insanity. Michelle then began pulling her hair, and was completely dismayed by her own actions."I will never go to drink again... as in never... goddammit," she whispered helplessly.Her heart rate picked up as

MEGAN:I can’t believe you ditched me last night! Anyway, you’re forgiven since Andrew drove me home, but what exactly happened?I knew it, Michelle thought.Megan liked the fact that Andrew sent her home last night. It was pretty obvious that her best friend had a thing with her husband’s best friend. She was kind of bothered with it, knowing her impression of Andrew, but at the same time, she knew Megan would never do something that would only hurt her in the end.She then replied to her text message:I can tell you what happened in person. Visit me at Ethan’s home tomorrow.Thinking that Ethan would be gone for days, Michelle could never hide her happiness. A few days without him would allow her to breathe some fresh air for a bit. It wasn’t like she couldn’t do it while he was around, but she only felt that everything got too heavy since he came into her life... heavy in a way that she was always conflicte

SHE COULD finally get to experience her four-day freedom. It was Saturday when Ethan fled to Singapore, and since it was Michelle’s day off, she invited Megan to come over so they could hang out at home."Your marriage is like a freaking romance novel, really!" Megan shrieked in glee.Michelle scowled at her, but Megan did not give a damn and gave her such a teasing stare."How can it be a romance novel when Ethan is the villain?" Michelle hissed.They were in her bedroom. For her, it was the safest place in the mansion since Priscilla could be peeping anywhere, waiting for her to make a mistake. She did not want the housekeeper to act as if she had the right to argue with her again."Just because your husband is a bit ruthless—""A bit?" She winced. "That's crazy, Meg."Megan giggled and grabbed some nachos. "Yes, a bit. And just because he put you in a situation where you had no other option but to stay with him, doesn&r

"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.

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

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.

"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.

"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
