"THAT SHOULD BE ME, JAXON," I said while looking at his eyes directly. I slowly lost him as I felt my intoxication gone.

"I should be the one with you! I should be the one holding your hand and not her! I should be the one showing the ring! I should be the one, not her!" I couldn’t stop screaming and stopped because I could feel my tears forming.

"But I can't do that. I can't do that Jaxon… because I'm your secret. I'm your secret that you are keeping and protecting. I'm just your secret wife, Jaxon." I was crying all the time so I felt him holding my arm.

"So I have no right to complain to you. I have no right to shout to everyone that I am your wife because I will ruin you and your career. I have no right to hurt you because you just keep me a secret. And I have no right to be jealous because you don't love me."

After I said that I stared at him and I could see in his eyes that he was confused by what I was saying.

"Why are you saying this to me, Stella?" Calm but I could sen

    StellaHE'S GOING TO CONFESS? Am I deaf? Dreaming? Or maybe I'm still drunk? So I slapped myself lightly causing him to frown at me."Why are you doing that to yourself?" He asked so I was stunned again and pointed to the flower he was holding."Is that true?" I didn't seem to know the question so he laughed and approached me and gave me the flower.I just close my eyes when he caresses my cheek and he kisses me here. I couldn’t help but shudder because of what he was doing."Hey, open your eyes. Look at me, Wife." He spoke softly so I slowly opened my eyes and our eyes met. I just held my breath when he smiled. This man is a very handsome creature. So handsome that everyone wants him."Am I dreaming?" I whispered and he answered."No… you're not dreaming. This is all true." He answered and I again roamed my eyes across our room.There were petals scattered on the floor up to the veranda where the table was and there was food already. I know he cooked because I know the smell when he

    StellaCAN SOMEONE SLAP ME? Maybe it will be a dream again. Maybe I'll just imagine something so that I can forget for a moment the pain I feel because Jaxon rejected me.So I slowly shook and lightly slapped myself. Because I did that Jaxon quickly stood up and worriedly stared at me. While I was confused because I still can't believe what I see now.“This is just a dream. This is just a dream, right? ” I felt the desperation in my voice so Jaxon frowned and touched my cheek.“No, you are not dreaming, Wife. This is all true. These are truly what you see today. You are wide awake. ” He replied making me close my eyes firmly because I still couldn't believe him. Maybe I'm wrong again. It's hard to believe again."Then prove it to me that I am not dreaming, Jaxon." My voice was hoarse and when I looked into his eyes I could see the sparkle coming from them. But love prevails here."Here is the proof my silly wife."He laughed and I just closed my eyes when he kissed me lightly on the l

When you say the word you want to say you feel at peace.And that’s how I feel at these times. I felt peace when I said those three words to him.I could still see the shock and joy in Jaxon's eyes now so I kissed him on the lips again."I love you, Jaxon," I repeated but I was surprised when he covered his face with his palm.I could see the redness on his face and ears so I laughed out loud.“Are you nervous, Jaxon? You are thrilled! ” I teased and slap him in the side but he just avoided that you thought he was getting burned by what I was doing.“Hey, Jaxon! You can't speak anymore? I just said I love you, you became dumb there. All right, you might want me to take back my answer to the proposal. ”I was threatening so I could see him quickly approaching me and touching my cheek.“I’m just overwhelmed after hearing

    StellaSECRET MARRIAGE? Will Jaxon and I get married again? Wait, why? We're already married. Why does he even have to do that?"Wait… wait. Let me breathe, Jaxon." I backed away and touched my cheek to tap it softly. Until now, what my husband is saying still doesn't enter my brain."Why? What happened?" There was a hint of concern in his voice so I looked at him again."We're already married, Jaxon. Why are we getting married again?" I asked a stupid question so he laughed and held my hand to get closer to him."We're just married at the paper, my silly wife and I don't like that. I want to be honest. Also, this is your dream wedding, right? So let's go now. I can't wait to marry you again," he said and would have spoken more to me but I was just surprised by when Iris showed up in front of me who now had her hair loose and is smiling widely at me."Come on, Tito and Tita are bored there." She said and turned to Jaxon who was now smiling at the two of us."Jaxon, tell Sebastian I'll

When did she find out that Jaxon was mediating between us?"Even in my work, she followed me. She's really into you, Jaxon. She still can't move even five years later."There was a hint of irritation in my voice and I was surprised when his hand went to my stomach and gently caressed it."Maybe she'll just stop when we have children. And I hope she will stop if that happens, wife. I don't want you to be even more stressed when you're pregnant." He said that's why I was blown away because he

I could see how her face blushed because of the anger that enveloped her eyes.“Jaxon, I did everything to make you love me too but why? Why am I still not? Why you didn't choose me like how you choose Stella?”“Because you’re not, Stella. Coleen, you're not my wife, so I can't love you. Because before you came into my life I loved someone else.
