*Patricia’s POV – the flashback*

I met with my friends last week and admitted to them about the real status of my marriage with Stuart. They were surprised that after six months, Stuart and I had never consummated our wedding.

“You know what,” I remembered Janine commented, “I have read similar situations like yours in romance novels, but don’t worry. All of them have a happy ending.  They endured some pains but, in the end, their sufferings paid off.  The men in their lives realized that their feelings and they eventually end up together.”

“Janine,” I rolled my eyes, “my life is not a romance novel.”

“But you can get lessons from reading these books,” she insisted.

“Fine,” I said, “then what advice can I get from these romance novels to make Stuart love me?”

“Seduce him to bed and make sure you get pregnant,

    *Stuart’s POV – the flashback*I went early to work the next day to avoid Patricia. Living with an irresistible temptress is truly difficult. I must stare at Sandra’s picture to remind myself that I should stay composed. Things will be complicated if I will give in to Patricia’s temptations. I do not want us to have any emotional or sexual connection when we divorce. Patricia does not deserve me, and I do not deserve her. Reminding myself of my love for Sandra keeps me sane, and it is the only reason why I gladly welcome each morning.“Sir?” I heard my secretary from the intercom, “Your father is here to visit you, and he is with, uhm, your wife?”I sensed uncertainty in the voice of my secretary. I have not informed the whole company about my wedding to Patricia. To them, I am still a bachelor, so I decided not to confirm nor deny the question of my secretary. I asked her to let my father in.

Still, since she wanted me to stay married to Patricia for a year, I obliged and hid the papers in my office. When I got the papers, I immediately rushed home to ask Patricia to sign the documents.I know Patricia did not expect this, but now is not the time for me to worry about how she will feel about it. I have already sacrificed so much just because Sandra cared too much about how her cousin would feel, but this is now the time for us to think of ourselves. I will never allow anything to stop me from marrying Sandra, not now that Sandra has finally agreed to give me the rest of her life.The house was dark and quiet when I arrived, but I immediately saw Patricia in the middle of the living room.“H-hi,” Patricia nervously smiled at me.

Just as planned, the whole house was dark while I stood in the middle of the living room for Stuart to first see me when he entered the house. I was very excited to surprise him, but I was wrong. It was he who surprised me more. He handed me the envelope that contained his verdict to our one year of marriage – our divorce papers.I was dumbfounded by his surprise that I totally ignored the presence of our friends, especially when they shouted "surprise" to Stuart."No! You can't do this to me!" I exclaimed."I just did!" he coldly answered."Why?" I panicked, "We were okay yesterday. You even messaged me that you missed me."I really needed clarification about how things turned out to be. We were fine before he left for Paris. He was sweet when he told me he'll be back soon.

Do you think this is a joke?" I massaged my temples and let out another frustrated sigh before facing my father again, "why are you doing this, Dad? What made you agree to the divorce?"With dropped shoulders, my father confessed, "You're mom is sick, and our company is facing a big financial challenge.""What?" I could not believe what I just heard."You heard it right, my dear. Your mother has stage four lung cancer. I have used all our savings for her treatment," my father admitted."We have millions, Dad.

I got used to the warmth of his body, which is why I panicked when he moved to the side and eventually stood to go to the bathroom. I curled my body and hugged my knees. I thought I’d be happier now that I finally felt him, but I was wrong. I lost something but never gained anything.I allowed myself to cry, knowing that this was the last, but I did not expect to feel his hands. Quietly, he carried me towards the bathroom. There were no words between us, but it was enough for me to feel him on my back as I leaned on him while we sat quietly in the tub. For a while, he played with my fingers, but later, I felt him caressing my arms while his lips kissed the skin between my neck and my shoulders.I let out a soft moan as I felt his hands cupped my breasts. He touched my chin and tilted my head for a passionate, longing kiss. We did it a

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.“Really?” he smirked, “Because as I see it, you are into her.

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.

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?

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.

I need to know what is wrong with my applications. Why am I rejected?

    *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? He is also a good catch – rich, handsome, very thoughtful – but the best of all is HE LOVES ME.

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
