*Patricia’s POV*

I was almost late when I arrived at the workplace this morning. I know I have much explaining to do, especially to Delilah, whom I failed to message about my unplanned absence yesterday. I didn’t realize that Stuart intended us to be left behind on the island yesterday. I could not text Delilah since my cellphone battery ran out, and Rea brought my charger.

“Patricia, you’re back!” Miss Melba greeted me.

“S-sorry for being a little la—“ I was about to make an excuse when somebody interrupted us.

“Miss Melba, do we have enough refrigerator cakes for sale today?” here came Stuart.

“I think so,” Miss Melba answered.

“Good,” he nodded, “then that means I could request Patricia to supervise the preparation of the lunch meeting that I will be having today.”

“Sure,” Miss Melba said.

“That can’t be,” I refused.

Miss Melba and I simultaneously answered, but Stuart acknowledged Miss Melba’s answer.

I squinted at Stuart before smiling at Miss Melba. I do not know what he

    *Patricia's POV*"Ma'am," I heard one of the dining crew call my attention, "someone's looking for you."I turned to check who he was talking about and immediately saw Kaz. Filled with excitement, I ran towards him and gave him a hug."Is that how much you missed me?" he jokingly uttered."Hey," I lightly tugged the tip of his shirt, "I am sorry I could not come to our schedule last night.""That's okay," he smiled sweetly, "let's just have lunch together.""I-I can't," I nervously bowed my head, "Stuart has instructed me to supervise the preparation of his lunch meeting today.""You are too pretty to supervise his lunch date," he sounded disappointed as he looked at the set-up of the meeting. I can't blame him if he thought I was preparing for a lunch date because the way Stuart instructed everything to be ready looked like it was designed for a romantic date."I will make it up to you tonight," I

  • Sold to My Ex-Husband   Is the Fight Worth It?

    *Kaz's POV*I noticed some paparazzi following us while driving Patricia to her place. I didn't want them to take a photo of Patricia. Patricia is too fragile to be caught in a crazy world called "Show business," besides, some may recognize her since she was once an endorser of a certain lingerie model who faced a breach of contract issue when she decided to stop modeling and married Stuart.I desperately tried to outrun them but lost control of my wheels and eventually crashed into a building. Everything happened so fast, and I heard Stuart's voice asking Patricia, "Are you okay?"I was still in shock when I looked at them. Still, when I remembered the paparazzi, I hurriedly helped Stuart so Patricia could escape the curiosity of the people following us."What have you done, Kaz?" Roger angrily asked, "I told you to stay away from Patricia."We are now in Roger's office while waiting for the results of the police inv

I don’t care if this sounds gay or desperate but I am now letting my guard down for Patricia. I can only do it for her, for my love for her. I have never accepted defeat in any bet that I get in to but I won’t hold on to my pride when it comes to Patricia.“Stop what you are doing,” I started, “I no longer want Patricia to stay away from me.”“What if I won’t stop?”My hands formed a fist when I heard him. Why won’t he stop?“I am no longer doing this for you, Stuart,” he continued, “I am doing this for myself because I love Patricia.”“Damn you!” I pushed him to the wall. Is this the reason why he made sure he’d bed Patricia?“Fvck you!” he answered while his punch landed on my face.Kaz is my friend and I do not want to hurt him but I cannot let him take Patricia from me. Since I know how important his image is, I decided to hit him on his stomach. He fell on the fl

    *Patricia's POV*Three days passed, and I am still waiting to hear from him. I hated myself because even though I tried not to hope, I still did. I still hoped that Stuart would pursue me, that he would not give up that easily, and that he would do whatever he could to prove that he loved me. Part of me hated myself for not giving in to what he wanted. If I did, we would have been a happy couple now. But part of me is satisfied that I did what I had to do. What had just happened only tells me that he does not love me enough to endure the initial rejections I gave him."Patricia, someone's looking for you in the dining area," Miss Melba said, "the manager had to close the shop because his presence is creating a clamor among the crowd.""There were a lot of people coming to t

    *Patricia’s POV*Stuart gave me a ride towards the hotel despite my hesitations. This made me think that I was just imagining things. Maybe I thought he loved me, but he was just playing along with the game that he and Kaz agreed upon. I could not sense any sign of jealousy from him. He was even smiling when he opened the car door for me.‘Stuart,’ I sadly noted, ‘what are you doing to me? Why am I so willing to be your toy if you are just playing games?’I went straight to the hotel without looking at him when I exited his car. I do not want to see his smile because it reminds me of my defeat. I allowed him to kiss me many times, but we have not talked about it. His kiss felt good on my lips, and strips of guilt hit me every time our lips parted. He was lik

Everyone is curious about the woman with Kaz that night, but that is not the only thing that makes me angry. The newspaper mentioned a leaked photo taken inside a hotel room where Kaz sleeps with a woman whose identity remains unknown. I hated that Kaz failed to protect Patricia from being involved in a scandal. At this point, I must do something to ensure I will have Patricia."Roger?"

    *Stuart's POV*Everyone gathered around the table to discuss Kaz's problem. I learned he was in trouble because of a picture that went viral on social media."So," Angelo spoke, "who was the girl?""I dunno," Kaz answered with frustration," she was just one of my fans.""If she is just your fan, how did she end up on your bed?" I asked. I was referring to the girl lying next to him in the photo that went viral on social media. KAZ clearly has no idea that the girl took a picture of them together. He was sleeping half-naked when the picture was taken."As far as I can remember, I met her in a bar. I was drunk, so I cannot remember how we ended up in my room," Kaz explained."Wait," Mago interrupted, "let me get this straight. You were drunk when that happened? I thought you stopped drinking?""I decided to drink when I learned that Patricia was alone with Stuart on Angelo's island," KAz answered instantly."Are you blaming this incident on me?"

    *Stuart’s POV*I can’t measure my happiness while watching my wife sleep in my arms. I caressed her face as I admired her delicate features. She moved and tried to cover her face with a pillow, but I stopped her.”Stuart,” she complained, ”I am still sleepy.””What? I didn’t do anything,” I replied.”You are seducing me, mister!” she opened her eyes and squinted at me.”Seducing? I have not even started it yet,” I pulled her closer to me, ”but if you are already seduced, why don’t we do what we did last night.””You’re crazy!” he lightly punched me on my arm, ”I told you, I am still sleepy,” she pouted.”Hmm,” I kissed her forehead, ”I love you.””Love you too,” she said, now closing her eyes, ”but can your hands behave? They are being naughty.””Really?” I smiled, ”guess my hands now have their own minds.””Stuart!”Damn, that was sexy! I liked it whenever she uttered my name. I did not stop myself anymore.

She wants everything kept on a professional level, so I decided to assign the preparations for the company’s anniversary party to her. That way, she will be too preoccupied to notice me watching her.

    *Patricia’s POV*”Good morning, Miss Pat,” the secretary greeted me, ” Sir Stuart has been waiting for you since he arrived this morning,” she continued as she opened the door for me.”Love,” Stuart stood as soon as he saw me.”Stay right there,” I said, ”first condition, stay away from me. It would be much better if you maintain a certain distance between us.””If that will make you stay, I will do it,” he answered.”That’s another one,” I pointed out, ”I am here to work, so if it is time for work, don’t do anything that will make my work awkward. Treat me as an employee. And lastly, I demand a break. That means I should not be with you all the time. If you agree with my conditions, I can start now.””Everything’s clear,” he said, ”but I already have a secretary, so you’ll do your usual work assignments besides being a secretary.”I don’t know why I felt jealous, knowing he kept his secretary even if I was already there.

This way, I could probably get a chance to land a job that suits my qualifications.”I am sorry,” the agent handed me my application, ”we cannot hire you.””W-what? What do you mean?” I was confused.”I am not authorized to tell you the details,” she lowered her head as if she was guilty of something.”Don’t you have anyone whom I can talk to? I need to know what is wrong with my applications. Why am I rejected? This seems to be the same with the other companies I have applied for.””I will be honest with you,” she whispered, ”your resume is good, but I think there is a problem with your employment history.

    *Patricia's POV* It didn’t take long for Kaz to arrive. I told him what happened and asked him to take me to a bar. “Patricia, that’s enough,” Kaz tried to stop me from drinking another bottle of beer. “Don’t you dare stop me, Kaz Legaspi! I simply want to get wasted. Do you hear me?” I drunkenly uttered. “What do you want me to do just for you to stop drinking?” he desperately asked. “Sing to me a song, Kaz. I want you to sing me a song you will dedicate to me only for me.” Kaz did as I asked. He went to the mini-stage and dedicated Enrique Iglesias’ “Why Not Me” to me. I watched him sing passionately to me. Kaz often proved his love to me, but I continuously fell for the wrong guy here. Why can’t I just love Kaz?

I am sure Stuart would be happy to see his best friend. Her arrival is timely since I do not have a maid of honor for my wedding. “Love?” Stuart called but froze upon seeing Sandra with me. “Love,” I smiled lovingly, “Sandra’s here. Look, she has a cute little kid.” I couldn’t tell if Stuart was happy, but I think it was because Sandra’s visit was so unexpected. Besides, we have not talked about her since he came back. “I- I think we should better go,” Sandra uttered, “we may have disturbed you.” “What are you thinking?” I stopped her, “You’re my cousin, and you are the best friend of my fiancé.” “F-fiance?” she obviously could not believe what I just said, so I got so excited to announce to her our engagement. “You’ve been so away s
