The weeks and months passed by with a jet's speed, and just like that, it was already five months since Maxwell and Angelina got married. By now, the bond between her and Isabella had become so strong that she doesn't even want to think about the future when they would have to separate from each other whether they liked it or not. Afterall, hers and Maxwell's marriage is a contract one with an expiration date and every passing day is bringing them closer and closer to that expiration date.

Thinking about that makes Angelina so sad and gloomy and hence, she doesn't even like to think of it. She easily gets attached and when she does, she finds it very, very difficult to let go. Just like her dear pet Honey and best friend Alicia. She had gotten so attached to them that when Jeremy sought her help, she had given him the condition that it was only if the two of them come with her. And now, she had gotten quite attached to Isabella and she knew without any iota of doubt that when the time

    Just like the other time, Angelina received a warm reception at the company she had worked in while disguised as the CEO's little man once upon a time. But unlike the previous visit, this time around she didn't stop to reminisce about the good old times she worked there as she had come here on a mission that required prompt action.When she got to the thirtieth floor, she didn't even stop to look at the decorations which were her handiwork as she headed straight to Mr. Bentley's office. Seeing her, he quickly got up and respectfully greeted her. "Good morning Mrs. Gal…I mean, Mrs. M.J. It's a pleasure to have you here." "It's a pleasure to see you too Aaron. Hope my husband is on seat? I need to see him now!"Mr. Bentley frowned. How on earth did the boss's wife know his first name? However, Angelina was too worried to realize her slip of tongue. All she cared about at the moment is talking to Maxwell so he could fire the betrayer's ass as soon as possible! "I'm sorry

    All of a sudden, Angelina felt herself being roughly shoved away. She gasped at the sudden, unexpected action while staggering from the impact. Luckily, she was just lightly pushed away, without much force so she didn't fall or accidentally hit anything.With widened eyes, she looked up at the culprit, who was also looking at her with an aloof, cold and indifferent expression on his face. "Rehearsal time is over. Now back to reality. What makes you think you can barge in here and say what you feel like about my trusted employee and expect to be believed?"Angelina had never been more stunned in her life. She just couldn't believe her ears or eyes. All that…what he just did to her— pulling her into his arms, nuzzling his face into her hair, hugging her tightly and calling her his little man, were all just part of play acting?! He was just having a rehearsal?! Unbelievable!!But whether or not she found it hard to believe, the evidence was right there in front of her— he's now bac

    Two days later, Angelina and Isabella were in the latter's study room, both deeply engrossed in their various activities when the person they least expected to see at that time of the day knocked before walking in. While Angelina was occupied with Isabella's laptop, trying her hands on some programming, Isabella was busy drawing in a secluded corner so that nobody can see what she's drawing, using the software program Maxwell designed specially for her after discovering that she had talents.That was how Maxwell walked in and met them. Isabella's eyes instantly widened as she queried, "Da-da?!"But Maxwell wasn't paying attention to her. His gaze was focused on one person and one person only ever since he walked in— Angelina! His signature sunglasses were hiding his eyes from view and so Angelina couldn't read the expression in his eyes— that's if there's any at all. But what was he doing? Why was he looking at her as if she was the only one he had eyes for? She thought he had a

    Later that same day at night, Angelina kept tossing and turning on her very comfortable bed. But try as hard as she may, sleep eluded her. All she could see when she closed her eyes was Maxwell's face when he uttered those profound, heartfelt words of gratitude to her. She had seen him looking aloof and indifferent, she had seen him looking cold and distant, she had seen him looking livid and furious, she had seen him looking tormented and devastated and she had seen him looking aroused and lustful. In short, she had seen him in different kinds of moods, bearing different kinds of expressions on his prepossessing face but not that kind she saw earlier in the day. Not that warm, profound, earnest, highly touched and gracious expression she witnessed in Isabella's study room earlier on.And that pulled the strings of her womanly heart. It didn't just make him look even more handsome and attractive, but also made him seem more approachable, more loving, more lovable. If only he could ke

    Like the previous times, he kissed her like a starved man. Like a man who had been denied his means of survival for so long. Like a beast in heat. Like she was the only thing and only one he had ever wanted in his entire life…And all the while his lips were engaging hers in a scorching french kiss, his erotic hands were kept busy as well, wandering all over the places they could reach in her body. Cupping her boobs, caressing her bare thighs, stroking her arms, pulling her hair down and running his fingers through it… But Angelina wasn't holding back as well. It was as if the beast in him aroused the wild cat in her as she kissed him back with the vigour of a tigress. She was becoming bolder and bolder with every kiss they shared and now, she kissed him with a passion that rivalled his own.And when she snaked her hands into his bathrobe and touched his bare chest, Maxwell let out a deep moan and instantly, the rhythm and tempo of the kiss changed.It was as if that single touch; th

    Even before her stinging hand could return to its initial position by her side, she felt a firm grip on her upper arms before she was roughly pushed against the wall nearby and her swollen lips invaded once again.Those same skilled lips that had sent her to smoldering heights just seconds ago crashed against hers with a renewed vigor. As if the slap was just like fuel added to an already ravaging fire— the ravaging fire of his desire for her. His lips, thoroughly kissed and swollen just like hers, attacked her own with unrestrained passion, trying to make them part so he can snake his tongue deep inside.But not this time. This time around, Angelina was in full control of her senses so she clamped her lips as tightly as she had never done before. Then with all her might, she used both hands to try and push him off her body but alas, her strength was no match to that of the muscular, young Adonis Greek god-like body pushing her back against the wall.Maxwell refused to relent. He was

    Needless to say, none of the two of them got even a wink of sleep that eventful night. They didn't even bother trying to do so at all since they knew it would be in vain. While Maxwell was forced to take yet another cold shower in the middle of the cold night before he engrossed himself with work, Angelina chose to spend her own sleepless night chattering non-stop with her pet bird. Even though all the talking parrot could say in return is "Hey honey, I love you", she wasn't deterred. She just kept talking to it, telling it everything and nothing, just to take her mind off what happened earlier in the kitchen. At least, having the beloved pet professing its undying love for her served as a reminder that no matter what, she still has someone who loves her for herself, not just lusting after her body…As early as five thirty am, Angelina who still hasn't gotten used to the harsh cold weather of the United Kingdom which was worse than that in her home country America, forced herself to

    And about doing it at the office— would they have at least ended up kissing each other that fateful day at the office when she met Ethan for the first time had it been they weren't interrupted? Only God knows because one thing that Angelina is quite sure of is that once those hypnotizing grey eyes fix themselves in hers, she becomes a prey that's totally submissive to their owner's charms…She quickly shook her head as if to ward off the wandering thoughts before speaking to Alicia. "Nice try Ally but we are not changing the topic of discussion. I asked you a few questions and you're yet to answer them. So yes, I'm all ears." "Forget about all that. It's all in the past now. I'm sure you'll be more excited to hear about this…"Alicia trailed off and turned to look at Jeremy with a questioning look on her face. When he nodded in approval, she returned her gaze back to Angelina before going on, "Actually when you walked in on us, we were having a kind of celebratory sex.

    Six months later… In the just concluded bakery section of the state of the art buildings of Isabella Gallagher Memorial Foundation, a heavily pregnant Angelina waddled around, inspecting the ultramodern baking equipments. Even though Lucy had volunteered to be the caretaker of the London-based foundation center, from time to time, Angelina goes there to inspect things, especially when a new project has been completed or when some newly- bought equipments have arrived. That's not because she didn't trust Lucy's capability of handling things superbly. No, far from it. She knows she's quite capable and just goes there to make sure things are running smoothly. After all, the foundation is her pet project and her lifelong dream and she loves it just like her own baby! So far, apart from the basic infrastructures that had already been established in both the American and London-based foundation centers, a culinary school, sewing and knitting center, sports arena, arts school for painting

    Over the moon with joy, Maxwell hastily slipped the ring unto her finger and as he got up to seal it with a kiss, Angelina's hand suddenly appeared in front of his lips and pushed them away from hers. "Not so fast, lover boy! We have a score to settle first."Maxwell's eyes instantly widened in trepidation. What score do they have to settle? He thought they have already crossed that bridge earlier. He thought she had already forgiven him! But before he could voice out his fears, Angelina's melodic voice reached his ears. "You came here, wowed me with your mind-blowing confession, went ahead to steal my breath away by telling me I'm the one for you, your peace of mind, your bane of existence, your home, your soulmate and so many other mind-blowing things before going down on one knee and proposing to me. You did all that, without even giving me any chance to state my own feelings. Oh I forgot, I don't suppose to have any feelings. After all, 'you know I don't share your feel

    Maxwell couldn't believe what he was seeing and hearing. And he knows for sure that he isn't dreaming so could this mean…He looked towards Ethan who was standing behind Angelina for confirmation and just as he nodded his head to confirm that indeed she has regained her memories, Angelina's voice rent the air once again. "Pfft! Can you believe this, bro? I thought that your friend would be a little more excited about seeing me but it seems…"Angelina never got to finish saying what she intended to as she suddenly felt her body engulfed in a very tight hug against a warm, tall, hard and familiar body. In a flash, her own hands automatically wrapped themselves around the tall, imposing figure. At the same time, her eyes fluttered close on their own accord. Their joined bodies reverberated as in unison, both she and Maxwell released very huge, deeply felt sighs of relief. Home, at last! At long, long last they are finally where they rightfully belonged; in the most blissful home ev

    Ethan and Robert had just finished having an early dinner together and were on their way to the airport when the former received a call. Upon checking the caller id on the screen, a frown materialized on his face. But that notwithstanding, he swiped and answered the call. "What's up Dr. I-know-it-all? Have you perhaps forgotten your stethoscope with me? Or is it your brain?"From the other end, Dr. Nick sighed. "Look, Mr. Marlowe, I haven't called you for another round of bickering. We need to talk. Urgently. Where are you now? Since you're answering your calls I can tell that you haven't boarded the plane yet, so where can I meet you?"It was Ethan's turn to frown as he instantly became alert. "What's the matter? What happened? How is Angie? Don't tell me anything happened to her! M.J would kill you if anything happens to even a single hair on her head!"Dr. Nick huffed. "Relax, dude. Jolie is perfectly fine. Well, I guess she'll be if only you keep quiet, listen t

    Dr. Nick clamped his eyes shut as out of nowhere, sudden pain, sadness and gloom overcame him. How could he have been so blinded? How could he have let his feelings cloud his rational thinking? He had fallen for a woman who is way beyond his reach! He knew right from the onset that she belonged to someone else, that she was someone else's wife but he still let his guard down such that his hidden and long-suppressed feelings for her gradually resurfaced!And now, she is pregnant. What cruel game is this that fate is playing with them all? Here he is, deeply and passionately in love with his childhood buddy but he can neither express it nor even think of acting on it because she's carrying the baby of another man. Another man whom she has absolutely no memories of at all– the man she believes is nobody but a complete stranger to her! God! What kind of mess is this?!What is he supposed to do now? How is he going to break the news of her pregnancy to her when she doesn't even remember h

    Angelina grinned widely at him. "Of course! You're my best friend so of course you can't just like me! And you know the feeling is mutual too, right? You're the bestest best friend in the whole wide world and so I love you too!"Once again, Dr. Nick gave her that strange, intense look and cleared his throat. "Erm…Jolie, I have something that I want to tell…"Just then, the shrill sound of his phone interrupted him and as he looked down at the caller id, his entire demeanor instantly changed. Without answering the call, he abruptly got up from his seat while saying to Angelina, "Shit! I completely forgot that I'm supposed to meet someone by two pm today and it's already a quarter to two now."Perplexed at his reaction to the call, Angelina, who had also seen the caller id before he silenced the phone, frowned up at him in confusion. "Who is this Mr. Blondie whose mere call has gotten you so worked up like this? You don't even behave this way when the hospital medical

    Maxwell stood in front of the large painting of Angelina and himself in his exquisitely furnished living room, slowly tracing the outline of his wife's gorgeous face with misty eyes and a forlorn and wistful expression on his face.All of a sudden, he felt a hand on his shoulder and even before her gentle, soothing voice rent the air, he knew it was his mother. "You know that staring at her picture will not magically conjure her up, right? Why are you doing this to yourself, son? When will you stop punishing yourself? It's been almost two months now since we left Croatia. Since you left your wife with a complete stranger! All you do is keep sending money, stuffs and either Ethan or Robert to go check on her while you remain here torturing yourself with depressing thoughts. Just take a look at yourself. You haven't just lost a lot of weight but also look so haggard! Arnold told me that once I'm not here, you don't eat at all and hardly sleep at night. And now you're standing here

    When Dr. Nick had given Angelina the two gadgets that Maxwell sent over for her, she had only accepted the laptop and refused to accept the phone, claiming that she had no use for it since she had no one to communicate with.Even though that's what she claimed, the real reason is because she doesn't want any reminder of her past life at the moment, the past life that she has no memories of as at present. She knows that once she has a phone, someone connected to her forgotten past might call her and that will inevitably push back those depressing thoughts which she had shoved away to the forefront and hence, make her sad and gloomy. And that's the last thing she wanted at the moment. All she wants is to pretend as if all is well, to live in the moment, to be happy and keep having great fun with her best friend. Therefore, she surely doesn't want a phone as of now! If her memories return in the future, then she'd surely require a phone. But as of now, she had no need for it!When Dr. Ni

    Dr. Nick didn't get a chance to return to his office until much later in the evening when he had rounded up all he had to do for the meantime. And after having one look at his tired face, Angelina abruptly got up, took the lunch basket in her left hand before holding Dr. Nick's hand with the right one. "You're coming home with me right this second, Dr. Lifesaver!"However, instead of letting her to pull him along with her like she intended to, Dr. Nick stayed put in his place while shaking his head and saying, "No Jolie. I can't leave now. I just performed surgeries on two of my patients and I have to be there when they eventually come to. I need to assess them and…" "Oh no, Dr. Lifesaver, you have already done your part. There are other doctors who can do whatever needs to be done. Besides, you look so tired and dead on your feet and as far as I know, you can only save lives when you yourself are alive and well! So like I said earlier, you are coming home with me now
