Tina became super stiff and quiet for a while after she heard what Tessa had announced. To be sure that she heard right, she said to Tessa. "Can you repeat what you just said?". "Of course, lady Tina. I said "could you please marry my big brother Mateo?". Tessa repeated what she said for the second time, and at this moment, Tina wished she could vanish from this awkward situation. "Stop kidding, Tessa. I know you're only joking with Tina". Mateo, who was sweating, said. Tessa raised her brows at Mateo and said to him, "I'm not kidding, big brother Mateo. And I'm sure you know that". "I think we all should go to my room before grandma Deborah hears our conversation. I mean, it's not only my room since it belongs to my brothers and I. Anyways, we should go there". Tessa added. Tina quickly raised her right hand up in the air and was staring at Tessa. "Quick question". Tina said. "Can I go home now?". "Of course not". Tessa replied. She giggled and grabbed onto Mateo and Tina'
It has been a minute since Tessa left the room. Tina was still squatting when she recollected herself. She stood up, wrapped her hands on her chest while tapping her feet continuously on the ground. She turned to face Mateo and was glaring at him angrily as if he was the one at fault. Technically, Tina believes that all that happened was Mateo's fault, even though it was mainly her fault for falling for Tessa's smart trick. "You! The things you've caused in my life ever since I first met you, are most likely disasters!". Tina snapped at Mateo. Mateo flinched suddenly, hearing Tina's loud voice speak. He hated to admit this, but he felt his legs weakened seeing this other side of Tina. He hasn't seen her this pissed off before. With the way Tina was still glaring at Mateo, he lost his cool and got angry at her. "Hey, you too! All you do is frustrate me so much ever since I met you!". Mateo's voice was cold and loud as he yelled at Tina. This side of Mateo came as a surprise to Ti
Tessa chuckled before she replied to Taylor, "Of course I'm serious, brother. I played a trick on lady Tina, and she actually fell for it". "What kind of trick did you play on Tina Katz that made her agree to the marriage?". Jake demanded to know from Tessa. He closed his laptop and put it aside on the three legged table close to him. "Let's just say, I cried and asked her to promise to do only one thing for me. And of course, who could decline a little kid's tears? So she agreed to the promise. But it turns out the promise was for her to agree to marry big brother Mateo temporarily". "So big Uncle Jake, will you help out and provide a contract marriage document? I want lady Tina to sign it. The sooner the better". Tessa added and was in a hurry to get things done quickly since she felt that a lot of time was wasted because of their conversation. Jake sighed heavily. He stood up and patted Tessa's head and said, "Fine. I'll have a lawyer bring the documents here in 15 minutes"
It has already been 2 days since Mina and Alexander came to the hospital. After Mina's previous check-up on Thursday, she was later moved to a vip ward. "But I can go to the bathroom myself. It's just over there". Mina said, but Alexander, her hubby, didn't let her have her own way. In the end, he was the one who carried her all the way to the bathroom. And after she was done urinating, he carried her back and gently held her until she laid back on the bed. Alexander sat by the side of the bed, not leaving Mina's side. "Hmph. You're too much. I'm only pregnant, I'm not sick. I can't believe I still have to stay in this boring place for 29 days". Mina complained and turned her face away from Alexander. Well, Alexander understood his wife's reaction since being here was also pretty kind of boring for him. But he couldn't bring himself to tell Mina about what the doctor informed him, because he was concerned that it might cause her to be worried. Alexander didn't speak for a while
The first action Linda took when Bella opened the door was to hug her. Linda's action caused Bella's eyes to widen in confusion, but that didn't bother Linda. She broke from the hug and held Bella by her hand before leading her to the bed. Linda sat on Bella's bed and stared at her. "Here, sit". She ushered Bella to sit beside her. "Of course, I was going to sit even if you didn't tell me to, mother". Bella admitted and sat on the bed. Indirectly stating to Linda that the room belongs to her. Linda didn't mind her daughter's behaviour and only shook her head at her before she started the important conversation. "So now dear, can you tell me what happened today?". Seeing that Bella hesitated to say something, Linda placed her hand on her shoulder and said, "It's alright if it's difficult for you to say. I should give you some time"."It's not that, mother". Bella was staring at Linda and said. Meanwhile, Linda removed her hand from Bella's shoulder and raised her eyebrows at her. S
Tina was finally back to her apartment after the long exhausting hours she experienced at Cassano's mansion. She put her passcode before she entered the apartment. After which she took off the black cap on her head, threw it on her living room sofa, and headed straight for her room. Tina was in her bedroom when she pulled off her clothes and walked into the bathroom with a long face. Tina sighed deeply and muttered. "I can't believe I signed that nonsense contract". "What even got into me when I decided to visit Mateo today?". She questioned, while she was setting the shower temperature to cold. And when she was done with the setting, she switched the shower on and stood under it, shivering as the cold water poured on her head down to her feets. According to the contract marriage which she signed, it won't become active yet, until the first of next month. "I still have some time left. If I'm done shooting for the special movie's edition, I would just leave the country for a wh
(Tina was sitting next to Susie at the dining table). "Susie, you mean you want to live in my apartment with me?". Tina questions. Susie was taken aback when she heard Tina's voice speak. And mostly, she was taken aback with the way Tina was staring at her suspiciously and in disbelief. Her forehead was already sweating when she was about to say something to cool the tense atmosphere. But before she could say anything, she was shocked when Tina rose up from her seat and embraced her in a tight hug. "I can't believe it! This should have happened sooner! Do you know how much I wished you were living with me? I already take you as the sister I never had, plus roommate!". Tina exclaimed. When she was done talking loudly, she released from the hug and smiled so brightly at Susie. "Phew". Susie sighed in great relief. She cleaned the sweat that formed on her forehead and placed her hands on her chest side. Her heart was pounding really fast as she thought before that Tina was not going
(Mateo's bedroom)Mateo was laying back flat on his bed with both eyes shut. Meanwhile, Tyler, Taylor and Tessa were also in the room with Mateo. They were sitting on the sofa, feets away from Mateo's bed, and were staring at him, expecting him to say something to them, but he remained silent, not saying anything, instead he exhaled deeply occasionally. "I'm not sure if I'm supposed to ask this, but, can somebody tell me why big brother Mateo's face is gloomy?". Tyler questioned since he was confused. He expected Mateo to be glad since lady Tina signed the contract already."I don't understand it either. Lady Tina had already signed the contract, meaning that his problem is solved". Tessa said. She was sitting in the middle beside Tyler and Taylor."Do you think there's another problem?". Taylor asked. And although Tyler, Taylor and Tessa were whispering among themselves while talking, Mateo was still able to clearly hear their conversation. "You guys don't understand the trouble y
