2024-10-29 19:42:56"I didn't think you already had a husband. I thought you were here last night as my Chard's girlfriend.” Richard's grandmother said to me as she touched my face. "But I still want you to come back here. We always love to welcome new families.”
Her words drew a smile on my lips because of how warmly she speaks to me as if her voice goes deeply to my heart every time."Thank you very much, grandmother." I said softly, staring straight into her sweet and beautiful eyes. "This place made me feel genuinely happy even for a short time that I stayed here and I will be glad to come back every single time to visit you guys and get to know more of you."All of them that are living in this house are all sweet and kind people. If I have some time left to stay here, I would definitely meet each of them and get to know more about their stories. Their voices and emotions whenever they sing are exceptionally authentic that anyone who listens will know that these people have something deep inside their hearts."Oh, we'll be glad to welcome you back." Richard's grandmother said again before she let me go. "You two seem so in love and happy with each other. So I can't help but wonder what happened last night that made your eyes so puffy from crying. I hope some of those strawberries and chocolates somehow helped you.”My mouth fell open as I feigned a laugh, shifting my eyes to Richard and widening it to question his grandmother's words.Did he happen to tell his grandmother about last night? I know it shouldn't be that embarrassing but I am."It was nice meeting you Mrs. Portland.” Jaxson said sparingly before pulling my arm out of the balcony.I might be exaggerating but I will miss this place and the warmth that it gave me as I was here."So, are we gonna head back to your house or your company?" I asked Jaxson as I am getting in his car."I'm gonna drop you to the manor before I go straight to Ruegold." Jaxson said softly while not taking his eyes off the road. "This place is too far, Catt.""I'm sorry." That was the only thing I told him. I didn't choose this place either. Richard took me here as I am unaware of what is happening because I was thinking more about the painful words I heard from Jaxson and I am busy crying the whole time."Well, promise one thing. Hear me out before you decide to run away from me.”My eyes shifted towards Jaxson as a bitter smile flashed on my lips. "I will try... But it's not that easy Jax, I hope you understand."I looked around when we got out of the executive village. It seems that there are no residences here and only trees and soil are around."It almost seems like we're in a different world, don't we?" I asked Jaxson without looking at him because my eyes were focused outside. I didn't appreciate it last night because it was dark and I couldn't see anything.My attention was caught when I suddenly heard a song inside the car. I saw that Jaxson turned on the radio as he started singing."What are you doing?" I exclaimed in the middle of laughing."What? I thought you'd like it?" He uttered as his hand moved to the radio and turned it off."I see. The famous Jaxson Madrigal is singing in front of me! Oh my gosh, I'm freaking out!” I exaggerated as I acted hysterically. "My friends won't believe this! Aaaah!” I screeched.Jaxson's lips pursed together before he turned to face me.Related chapters

[Third-Person POV]"That's not funny, Cattleya." Jaxson spoke out in a heavy tone as his eyes returned to the road with a straight face. "You don't understand.""Oh, what?" Cattleya uttered in a high tone, giving Jaxson a sarcastic expression flashed on her face, with one of her eyebrows raised. "You think I don't understand the life of being popular with so many people dying to take photos of you whenever you go out? Of course, Cattleya Santos never experienced being popular because she is an ordinary girl married to a famous man.”Their bodies both moved forward as Jaxson abruptly pushed the car break, halting the car from moving in the middle of the road with no people around and only tall grasses around them."You know what, I don't want to argue about this anymore. I already said I'm sorry. I already told you the reason why I said that and I admit that I am the one wrong here." Jaxson breathed heavily as he contained his emotions and tried to keep his tone down. "Cattleya, we jus

"People like you are not real."Cattleya stopped walking as she felt Jaxson's hand on his wrist. Her eyes rolled up as she moved her head backwards, annoyed."What do you mean? Because… I am real.” Jaxson almost said in a mumble as he stared at Cattleya's eyes intently."When was the last time you remember yourself walking in the rain, holding your own umbrella?" She asked with her eyebrows raised, giving him an untamed glare.Jaxson was stunned and he couldn't find the right word to say, trying to answer Cattleya's question. His mouth hung open, hesitating the words he would say."That's all that I'm saying." Cattleya swiftly shoves Jaxson out of her way.“Wait, I… I uh–” Jaxson chased after her again but tripped over a large rock which caused her to be out of balance and then fell into the grass where there was a large lake. "Cat!" he screamed for her help.Cattleya immediately turned to where Jaxson was standing just now to see what happened because he got worried with his voice sc

[THIRD-PERSON POV]"Hmm," Jaxson grumbled. "I wonder what fact I could share..."Cattleya let out a weak giggle while glimpsing at Jaxson as he move his finger to his chin, tapping it as he tilted his head upwards. His eyes narrowed a bit as his lips were pursed."Maybe I could share that I have a lot of cars that I have no choice but to make a separate house for them?" He raised both his brows as he put his gaze back to her."Oh, please, Jax. Don't be ridiculous." Cattleya shook her head as she kept on giggling.“But that's all nothing but fact. If you don't believe what I said, I can show them all to you once we get back to the city for you to see it yourself. I have a plenty of them. I will let you decide on a car you like for your driver to use as he sends you to your academy.”Cattleya put up one of her brows as her lips twitched showing him a dubious look. "Seriously?”“Yes. You can be excited about it.” Jaxson replied with a proud grin on his lips which quickly faded after hear

Thanksgiving Day11.24.22[Cattleya's POV]It has been five months ever since what happened in Richard's grandmother's villa. When we got back in the city, I learned to understand Jaxson better as well as how he chose his words. I also became protective of his food like I said. I can't help but to always laugh whenever I remember how we got home. After maybe ten minutes of walking from the lake, Mr. Greg and his friends, who are one of Richard's grandmother's friends and also live in his house. They ride on big horses. When they saw us walking, they were surprised because they said we still had a long way to go before we reached the gate where we could leave their village. We told them that we abandoned the car and now we have no choice but to walk because there seems to be no one to ask for help especially since the phone has no signal and there are no people passing by. They looked at each other as if trying to have a conversation with their eyes before they agreed to carry us to th

(Cattleya's POV)I was stunned because of what Gunther just told me. I know that since Daniella Yves is involved again, the chance for Jaxson to just let me do whatever I yearn for is very low. It's already difficult to gain his trust just so he can allow me to do the influencer thing, being a student, and to be his wife, all at the same time.Still, I won't just give up on Gunther's really encouraging words, and will nevertheless push to the limit of my luck and wish for the best.I took a bottomless whiff to assemble fearlessness in my entire body as my hand gradually crept towards the doorknob. Because of how strongly I am gnawing on my lips, I could imagine it bleeding and my teeth sinking deep into my flesh."Hey.." I greeted Jaxson softly and unhurriedly entered his office here in the mansion. It's a good thing that he's still awake till this hour because I was a little late coming back from the hotel where I was with Finn.I tiptoe to minimize making any noise because I don't w

"What are you doing here?""Joining my wife in his little party, I guess?"I jumped back in shock because I didn't realize that Jaxson was already here and he found me on the balcony.“Well, you shouldn't be here. Come on, Jax. Look around. There's no people that can see us. You can stop acting.” I said with a tone of annoyance as I gently pushed his chest away from me.Jaxson can stop pretending in front of me. He can just stop by fooling other people, and not include me. I know he's been dying to mingle with Daniella at this time. Well, too bad for them because I don't think that the people are gonna leave any time soon now."What do you mean pretending?""Oh please," My eyes rolled up as I turned sideways to not face.[“Catcat? Hello? Who are you talking to?”]My attention returned to my phone when I heard Charles' voice from it. I haven't answered the call yet and my brother is still on the other line and can hear what we are talking about."Hello? It's just someone I know. I'll c

"You are seriously so immersed by your acting, aren't you?" I pushed Jaxson hard and gave all the strength left in my body to push him and he was far away from me."I am." He said with a giggle. "Why are you being so cheeky to me suddenly?" He asked before taking a seat next to me. We were only a few inches away from each other so I moved back a little to catch my breath.I can't answer Jaxson's question directly. He pretty sure knew very well why I have been acting so distant to him ever since I saw Daniella in his office. I just don't want to meddle with whatever it is that they are doing. If they are still having an affair behind all of this, sure they can. Even if I honestly dislike them for doing that, I don't think I should care more."What's on your mind?"I looked at Jaxson as he gently laid down next to me while I remained seated."Come on, Cattleya. You can tell me.”My eyebrows slightly raised because of the drastic change in his attitude."Why are you acting like this, Jax

(Cattleya POV)"Are you sure you're going in?"Jaxson has been repeating the same questions to me since we both got out of bed, which caused me to smile.Jaxson sleeping in the same bed with me felt more casual now than it did when we were first laid next to each other. The two of us are becoming so comfortable with one another that I am beginning to worry that I might lose the man who does nothing but cradle me in his arms every night."Don't worry about me, Jax. I've had it worse when applying for tons of jobs. This won't be easy, I am sure of that. But this is not gonna be that hard for me to ask for any personal guard. It's time for Gunther to be with his buddy for some quality time, don't you think?" I moved my eyebrows up and down to tease him before bursting into a giggle. "Seriously, I'm fine." I started to grab the doorknob to get out of the car because we had been parked in front of it for a while."Are you sure you don't want me to go in there and use my... You know. My nam

"You might think that I'm a creep, but I love how you look like whenever I kiss you." Liam stated straight.I felt my cheeks burning like hell because of what he said. My blood rose to my cheek and I felt it was on fire."You look like a baby, every time.""Oh, shut up." I tried to avert my gaze from him.He extended his hands at me and just simply grabbed my hand. I'm slowly getting used to always holding Liam's hand. If back then I almost died from being so nervous, now it's just a little bit.But I feel like I'm walking on clouds because of the lightness of my feet and the feeling that you're floating.I looked around. There are still many people here even after the sun has set, most of the people wandering around are tourists like us.I lift my eyes and I can't believe what I see. What I used to see in shows is now in front of my eyes.I stopped walking for a while to take a closer look at Namsan Tower. No wonder why so many people want to visit it, because it is really beautiful

“How can you be so sure? What if they won’t give you a call? What if… Uh… There would be an emergency and they can’t contact you?” I insisted on the question once again. Jaxson can’t stay here all day, because if that happens, then I have to stay all day in this bed too. He will eventually find out that I can’t walk. “— Also, you won’t stay here with me all day even if you don’t go to your office. I have a call from Miranda agency that we have costume fitting today.” It’s not entirely a lie because the agency called me early in the morning that I have to be there with Daniella.I am planning to go regardless of what she can do to me. And what I am thinking of, is to sneak out this house with the help of Richard. Besides, he won’t suspect that Daniella did it to me because it seems to be an accident when I fall off my shoes. It’s only me and her who knows exactly who did it to injure me. I can’t help but to worry about Lance’s and Daniella’s plan for Jaxson and I. They are harming

I struggled to get my body moving and hit the button on the bedside table."Good evening, Aunt Elsie? Are you there?" I politely called the other line and then waited for him to respond.It's excellent that Jaxson has been using advanced technology throughout this bedroom. Since it is so distant from our room, I wouldn't have been able to call Aunt Elsie if I wasn't strong enough to go down to the kitchen."Hello, Mrs. Madrigal. My mother isn't here, do you need anything?""Angel?" I asked with my brows colliding. "Why isn't Aunt Elsie there? Did she go somewhere?" I became worried because this is the first time that she is not the one who answered my call."Well, technically she's not here. But she's also not outside the house. I think she's taking care of Mr. Madrigal that just came home, ma'am. Would you like me to call her?" He calmly answered with his soft and airy voice."No, no, it's okay..."If you need anything Mrs. Madrigal, I can bring it to you right away."I nodded quietl

"You're giving me tickles, stop." he chuckles as he continuously leaned away from me.I giggled as I continued to tease him. "You're such a ticklish baby.""I am not." he tried to straighten his face and stop laughing but he couldn't stop it.When I got tired, I leaned on his chest again and then fiddled with the button of his polo shirt."When are we going back to New Jersey?" I asked.It's like... I don't want to go back and face his life. I just want to stay here next to Liam and hug him all night, make him laugh, and talk to him."We're not going back unless you ask me to." he uttered.I moved a little away from his chest to look him in the eyes. "Really?"His hand came up to the top of my head and ruffled my hair. "Really."I took a breath. "If it's possible, I'll claim you and never give you back."He laughed softly and then turned his attention back to the laptop in front of him when he received an email.I brought my lips to his ear again, but this time, to whisper."Liam is g

[THIRD PERSON POV]Maddison and Blade are now inside the car who have been restless with their hands on the steering wheel and gulps one after the other.Even though Maddison couldn't understand why she was letting someone she didn't know very well take her somewhere, her body seemed to be telling her that it was okay to go with the man next to her now.As well as the strange feeling he feels in his heart, which he never once felt with Liam.Even though Maddison and Liam have been in a relationship, it cannot be denied not to see the chemistry between the two of them.Maybe because from the beginning Maddison was forced by her father to know and love Liam.When Maddison and Liam are together, her father treats her well and smiles tenderly. But every time Maddison doesn't know the location, or if Liam does me, his father hurts him.At first he didn't understand his father's repeated beatings, but he still did what he wanted. Even though he doesn't like Liam, he insists on being friends

"I missed the breeze here..." Maddison muttered as Blade pushed his wheel chair towards the shore of the sea. "I avoid even thinking about this place because of painful memories." he smiled bitterly.When they got there, Blade stopped pushing and then he sat next to its wheel."Me, I'm always here to calm my mind. It's often on top of the rocks so I can see the entirety of the surroundings. I still remember that we always hang out there." he smiled as he reminisced their past.Maddison also seemed to smile as she looked up at the place where Blade was looking."I know... you told me before, I'm the only woman you'll bring there. Did you keep that promise?”Maddison turned to Blade who looked away and then pretended to be playing with the sand.Maddison let out a small laugh. "Don't tell me...""I brought Crystal there once." Blade uttered but he still couldn't look straight.Maddison only laughed harder that made Blade turn to him. "What's so funny? Aren't you angry?”His eyes rounded

I could hardly believe the words coming out of his mouth.How is it that the Vince that I just recently met who works for Steven's company, is the one they say is the youngest heir of the Celestials who was our batch when we were still studying at Harrison High?"B-But wait... If you're the Celestial I'm thinking of, does that mean you also went to university at the same time Steven and I?" I asked in surprise.As far as I remember, there was always talk about who the heir was. The only heir I knew at our school was Steven.“Yes, I attended Harrison High with you. Like I said, if you only knew how to look back, you would have recognized me. You couldn't even notice me or turn a blind eye because your eyes were too direct on that man."I bowed down because of what he said. Come to think of it, I only have one friend and that's Mavi. I was careful to get to know someone else because I was afraid that Steven would get jealous. Even with Mavi, I can't always give him time because Steven d

“Babe...”A soft voice woke me up from sleeping soundly. Even if I don't open my eyes, I knew well that this is Jaxson.I giggled when I felt his soft lips on my forehead, trying to wake me up. He never missed any morning to give me a sweet kiss as a morning gift. We really are a couple and I still couldn't believe.I scrunched my nose as I felt the pain on my foot as I slowly lift my body with the help of Jaxson supporting the back of my head.“Breakfast in bed.” My eyes slowly opened up as I was shock by the food in front of me. I couldn't help but be touched at what he did.“You are so sweet...” I muttered as I returned a gentle kiss on his forehead. “This is the very first time I'll experience something like this.” I honestly let out, feeling my eyes forming into doe because of the joy that the food brought me.This just came at the exact moment. I mean, I was planning last night to skip breakfast and pretend that I am not hungry just to wait for Jaxson to leave the house so I ca

It's excellent that Jaxson has been using advanced technology throughout this bedroom. Since it is so distant from our room, I wouldn't have been able to call Aunt Elsie if I weren't strong enough to go down to the kitchen.“Good evening, Mrs. Madrigal. Are there any things you need, my mother is not around.”“Angel?” My brows furrowed as I questioned, “Why isn't Aunt Elsie there? She left— and where did she go?” As this was the first time someone other than she had taken my call, I started to get concerned. “Yes technically, she is not here. She isn't, however, in the yard either, ma’am. I believe she is taking after Mr. Madrigal who has just arrived home. Do you want me to call her for you?” In a serene tone, she responded, with her voice light and airy.“No, no, it's okay…”“If you need anything, Mrs
