*Stuart’s POV*

The people at the party continued to have fun singing. While Angelo stood to go to the mini-stage because he was the next to sing, Kaz and Patricia returned to their respective seats. This happened while Mago handed me a glass of wine. I took the glass and drank its contents while I used it as an opportunity to get a glimpse of Patricia.

“Don’t stop yourself, Bro,” Kaz tapped my shoulders, “stop secretly watching her. Why don’t you just go and talk to her.”

I squinted at him as I placed my glass on the table.

“Hey, be honest to me,” he placed elbows on the table and clasped his hands, “who is Patricia to you?”

“She’s my ex-wife,” I immediately answered.

    *Stuart's POV*I have been staring at her bag since I arrived at the office this morning. I do not know what got into me and why I volunteered to keep the bag so I could return it to her today. I should not have bothered because I had no intention of seeing her."Ugh!" I massaged my temples in frustration. Why did I ever bother to take this bag with me? Aist! Why was she too dumb to leave her purse at the night party? I do not know why, but something pushed me to check on her bag. I smiled when I saw what was inside of it. What do you expect from a lady's bag? Of course, it will contain face powder, lip balm, and a wallet, but I creased my forehead when I couldn't see her favorite perfume. She can't go anywhere without it.I closed her bag and returned it to the table. She is nothing to me, so it should not bother her if she changes her preference for scents.But I like that smell.I shut my eyes and called for my secretary.

    *Patricia’s POV*I sighed before leaving the bank. I had to sign a promissory note because I failed to pay what was due this month. I did not get enough earnings this month, so I had to ask the bank to give me an extension. I do not know how to raise the money I need to pay the bank monthly. I guess I will have to accept Delailah’s offer. Delilah was the manager of the club where I worked as a dancer. I only danced on stage, but the club offered a special treat to its principal sponsors by giving them the privilege of having a private show with their favorite club dancer.I refused to do private shows because there are other things that a dancer needs to do besides just giving a private show. I was lucky that a principal sponsor volunteered to pay for my reservation. With that, I became an exclusive dancer, and no one was allowed to book me for a private show. I have never met that principal sponsor, and because of his reservation, I get ex

    *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.

    *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.

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
