"Are you done sulking?"She was even startled by that baritone voice. While her thoughts were preoccupied with Mhariel and Dino, she forgot that she was inside his car.Only then did she notice that they had already passed by the bus terminal a while ago. She turned right away to face him."Why didn't you drop me off at the terminal?" She frowned when she asked that.He didn't say anything; he just sat there and stared at her."Do you even know where to go?" He focused his gaze on the road again.She was silent again."Just as I thought," the man immediately added.She was suddenly irritated once more. It seemed as though she wanted to vent her frustration with Dino and Mhariel on the annoying man sitting next to her."It's none of your business! If you don't bring me back to the terminal, I'll accuse you of kidnapping!"Without even turning to face her again, he simply laughed softly while smirking."Fine! Stop the car, and I'll get off!" The way he responded irritated her even more.
"I have no doubt that many women would be willing to marry you, Mr... S-sean. I don't understand why you're offering it to me. Additionally, I don't see why you had to be married so soon after calling off your wedding to my cousin. Do you wish your wedding to proceed even with another woman because you regret the money you spent on the wedding preparations, if there were any?" She was wondering why he felt the need to use blackmail to force her into giving him her hand in marriage, even though they don't really know each other. Since marriage is a serious commitment, you don't just offer it to anyone. He laughed at what she said. "Do you think I care about the money? I don't have to be concerned about the expenses if I marry numerous ladies at once. Although I'm not bragging, I'm stating a fact. The truth is that if I can always make my own choice, I will never want to be married." She was even more confused by what he said. It turned out he's not interested in getting married. "T
He took her to a restaurant because she declined to go with him to his place. She was hesitant to go into his home once more since she knew it would be awkward for both of them. They will remember a hot night they spent together in that house.She simply ordered juice, but he placed a large order for food, so she had no choice but to eat as well.He asked for paper and a pen after the waiter cleared their table when they were done eating.She was surprised when he handed it to her."You can write the things that you want to be included in our deal on that piece of paper."She took it without saying anything. She noticed also that he had paper and a pen, and he began writing on it.She believed that was good so they could clear both conditions on their marriage contract.She was already busy thinking of things she wanted to put into whatever contract they would have. In less than five minutes, he finished writing, and she stared at him. Just to make sure she didn't miss anything, she r
When Sean permitted her to stay in a pricey hotel, she was unable to protest, even if she wanted to. She shouldn't be concerned about the payment there, he replied, because he owns the motel. When she saw the price for one night at that hotel, he noticed her hesitancy and said that as a result. She would simply stay there, he explained, while he sets up everything needed for them to sign the deal. In addition, he wanted her to prepare the documents for their judge-officiated wedding.He spoke to the hotel manager and then left right away. He left her there. In order to accompany her to her room, the manager herself went up with her. When the management requested that a bellboy deliver her baggage, she objected. She claimed that she could carry it alone.She came to a stop in front of the room with the female manager. When the manager unlocked it and switched on the light, she was nearly taken aback by the room's size and elegance."The most expensive and unique room in the hotel is th
"First, let's eat. I'll then ask you to read our contract.She went to grab something to eat without saying a word. She just realized that crying for most of the day made her very hungry.She ignored the man sitting in front of her. She ate voraciously."Do you know your eating style caught my attention the first night I saw you?"She looked up at him as the spoon she was holding came to a stop mid-air. She observed that his plate was empty at this time. The wine glass was all he had in his hand.Are the wealthy really like this?Before speaking, she chewed what was in her mouth. The things he said only finally sunk in after that.She abruptly formed a serious expression, set the spoon down, and wiped her mouth with a tablecloth."Oh, please... Don't let me stop you. I simply enjoy watching you eat. Most of the women I've dated consistently tend to be picky eaters.When he said it, she didn't even crack a smile."This is not a date, to start with. Second, I believed we wouldn't discus
SEAN'S POVWhen he and Yazmin were just about to eat, he saw Yvette standing on the side. His suspicion was odd because, when a special dinner is being held at his hotel, he doesn't require the manager to be there. The management does not need to be around while they are dining because the waiters are responsible for handling that.He simply returned his focus to the woman in front of her, who was repeatedly taking mouthfuls of food as if he weren't there.As he drank wine from the glass in his hand, he smiled. She was very different from the women he had been dating. When the two of them were together, it was challenging to assess her emotions.She occasionally displayed the traits of a girl who is incapable of breaking a plate but can instantly transform into a tiger. She appeared to be perpetually irritated by him as well.When they shared that night, she was the complete opposite.He gave a headshake. No matter how hard he tried to forget about their steamy night together, it kept
SEAN'S POVHe asked Yazmin to wait in the hotel's lobby. He walked into a little office he keeps for himself when he goes to his hotel.As he waited for Yvette to enter, he appeared formal.Yvette entered the room without any apparent regrets about her prior actions. He remained seated in front of his desk."Miss Santos, that was extremely unprofessional," he said without cracking a smile.She inhaled deeply before looking into his eyes."You left me hanging, Sean, and all of a sudden I see that you're busy with another woman," she said.The woman's response caught him off guard. She sounded like they had a relationship, and he was caught cheating.He paused to let his throat clear."Miss Santos-""Leave the formalities behind. We are the only two here." She interrupted him and sat down on the chair in front of his desk before waiting for him to request her to do so."I waited for your call for a few days, Sean. I made numerous attempts to call you, and I am aware that you were probab
She was instructed by personnel to wait in Sean's office; he even left her at the front door after leading her there. The moment she was going to knock, the door slightly opened. She was ready to go in when she decided against it because it appeared that people were talking inside.When she heard Sean, she turned right away to go outside."Yvette, stop. I don't think I'm the kind of man that needs a woman to change him. I'm not a one-woman man. I'm not the man any woman would want to marry."When she heard it, she blinked. As she again carefully closed the door, she shook her head.She thought at once.Which of the two is worse? This man who just started telling the woman he was flirting with that nothing can be expected of him? Therefore, it was up to the lady to accept the only thing he had to offer and forget her desire for a committed relationship. Or Dino, who gave her hope that he truly loved her and wouldn't be seduced by any other woman but ultimately had an affair with her be
She had been staring at her already protruding belly as she circled the mirror. Her old clothing no longer fit her because she is six months pregnant. She and Sean have already learned the gender of their second child together. The one they desire is a girl.She rubbed her stomach and grinned. She was preoccupied staring at her belly when someone embraced her from behind, and she shouted instantly."Hmmm... You're staring at your sexy body again," Sean said softly while massaging her abdomen.His flattery made her laugh. Water was still flowing from Sean's body after he had just left the bathroom. The smell of shampoo and soap mixed with her husband's body, and she closed her eyes.Their son, Gazer, woke up early, so she started with a bath. Earlier, she went to feed him in the nursery room. Sean was putting one hand inside her shorts and kissing her neck.She closed her eyes and scolded him, "S-sean, you'll be late," while his hands strayed."Hmmm..." was all he could say.Sean reach
She sat on the bed and waited impatiently. She gasped and was forced to look up at the ceiling, where the faint light was coming from."Hubby!" she exclaimed.Reluctantly, Sean said, "Just wait. Didn't you change your mind?" from inside the bathroom.Her eyes rolled as she continued, "Even if you stay there all night, I won't change my mind."She lifted the large lollipops to her lips and sucked them. When the restroom door opened, her gaze went to it. She gave a short, teasing smile. She gazed at Sean's attire. He's got on only G-string briefs and is completely nude. Feeling the heat, she sucked the lollipops again in an instant.Sean walked up to her, seeming uncomfortable. She gestured for him to move to the middle chair. She played the seductive song excitedly."Wifey," Sean addressed her as though he were pleading with her.She said in an appealing voice, "Hubby, please. You didn't continue your sexy dance when you proposed, did you? Now do it."His face creased at what she said,
She walked down the aisle to Sean, who was waiting for her, and couldn't stop crying. Thankfully, her makeup holds up well, preventing her tears from making her look terrible. One month after he proposed to her or demanded that she marry him again, their marriage was set. In reality, he was busy organizing their wedding during the periods he claimed to be occupied. He no longer allowed her to be busy making gowns and clothes for their wedding entourage. He doesn't want her to be busy with work while also being under pressure in their marriage. Her wedding dress was stunning. She felt like a queen walking next to her king. Her brother, Lance, stands next to Sean. Sean gave respect to her parents before holding her in his arms.He lifted her veil before he led her to the altar. He took the handkerchief and smiled while wiping her tears.Sweetly smiling, he said, "I didn't marry you to make you cry. So please stop crying, wifey." She stopped herself from crying and nodded.While the
As soon as she exited the elevator, she actually sprinted to Sean's apartment. She came to a stop in front of his unit's door. She waited for her breathing to return to normal while gazing at the door. She twisted the lock slowly after a brief period of stillness. Sean said he left the door open.She had earlier been anxious to confront the man. Her motions now seem to be moving slowly because she is aware that Sean is only inside. She was even more surprised when she took a peek inside and saw that it was just dimly lit. She walked right in. She moved slowly as she examined every corner.She quietly called his name, "Sean."She was in the middle of his condo's living room. There was a lot of room in the middle, as though the sofa had been shifted to one side. She observed a sizable gift box in the center. She scowled and wondered what it was. She looked up abruptly as colorful lights took the place of the dim light. The really sensual music began to play right away.She slightly rais
The following day, she went right to Sean's workplace. It appeared as though she was being chased as she made her way to his office. She was still unable to reach him. It appears that he really does not want to get in touch with her. While entering his office, she didn't even knock.She was surprised when she saw Lance instead in Sean's office. She immediately looked around, but Sean was not there."Where's Sean?" She asked Lance right away.Avery greeted her, then excused herself to leave for a while to go to the sixth floor."Busy preparing for the we-" In the middle of his speech, Lance abruptly stopped himself and scowled. "You two aren't together?"It was her turn to frown. "Why? I've been trying to contact him but can't get through to him. The document he gave me about our marriage was wrong." She said, annoyed."Document? That's for your wedding, right?" Lance cut her off."Huh?" The question he asked left her perplexed.Wedding? What wedding is he talking about?"You mentioned
She wore a flimsy nightie as she hesitantly exited the bathroom. Two days after she and her son went to Sean's office, she met him again. Because of their last agreement...She could tell Sean had been waiting for her because he was sitting up on the bed. She felt uneasy, worried, and sad.Their son is the only thing that would connect them together.She knew she was excited to be reunited with him, but she also felt as though she would be hanged that day. She wiped the tears from her eyes and took a deep breath.When she came out of the bathroom, Sean immediately looked at her. They locked gazes. She notices more than just desire in his eyes. They shared the same blend of anguish as she did. She slowly approached him, sitting at the foot of the bed.When he picked her up earlier, they went straight to a hotel room. He took her to the hotel where they first met. Only then did Sean find out where she got their son's name from. The name of the hotel where their connection started is Gaz
They were eating dinner, and Sean had just left. He didn't stay up too late because he had to get up early the next morning to drive to Manila for a meeting. She was surprised because he traveled almost every day to visit their son. She was eating quietly when her mother spoke."Why are you allowing Sean to rent a room in town?" He is welcome to stay in Joshua's old room." Her mother asked her as she took a bite."He rents a room in town?" Surprised, she asked her mother again.Immediately, her father turned to face her mother as if to convey a message. Her mother's eyes widened as she realized that she didn't know anything about Sean renting a room in town.Now her father turned toward her."When are you going to settle your issues with Sean? You have a child. Think of your son, Yazmin." Her father's voice pleaded.She wished she could stop them from asking her that.She remained silent. Since her parents had nothing to do with her misunderstanding with Sean, she didn't want to say a
Her family apologized to Sean for not telling him everything after learning that he already knew about their child. They gave an explanation for why they didn't even bring that up with him. When she decided not to notify Sean about their son, they supported her decision. Only she had the authority to let Sean know when she was ready.She was wondering why her family seemed to have forgotten that Sean was the one who left and moved to the United States. Why do they seem to favor the man more than her?When he learned about Gazer, she was aware that he was upset and resentful. Anger and resentment against her since, if she hadn't been put in that circumstance, she didn't seem to have any plans to tell him that they had a child.He didn't care how she felt when he chose Bianca and abandoned her, and neither did she.Yeah.Bianca...Even though she tried to convince herself that she had no interest in learning what had happened to the woman or the true nature of her relationship with Sean
Because Sean was just in front of her, staring at her, she had a hard time eating. After noticing his intense gaze on her, she only frowned at him. When she caught him, he was much more determined to continue staring at her and didn't even budge. She continued to scowl and frown.Also, she was concerned for her kid, who appeared restless while being carried by Joshua. The child never stopped staring at her. She had not seen her son in three days, so she knew he was seeking her. Her parents came to Davao with her son since she would be very busy.'Meeee! Meeee!' From time to time, her son screams as if he is about to cry. She really wanted to take the child because she missed him so much. It was the first time she had been separated from her son."What's his name?" Sean questioned Trina."G-gazer. G-gaze." Trina, on the other hand, appeared nervous as she responded to the man. She occasionally even gave her a glance.She inhaled deeply before turning her attention back to her food. She
