“WELL, THERE’S only one way to find out,” Keandrick responded and take out his expensive phone, waving it in front.

I raised a brow at him in confusion, didn’t get the idea he was trying to express but instead to feed my confused self, he turned his gaze to his phone’s screen and dialed someone’s number. I don’t know what was running inside my boss’s head. This happening was a huge plot twist in both of our lives. Both living our lives, this marriage thing made our lives turned upside down. We are both a victim. We both don’t know what truly happened and why we ended up in this kind of situation and we both don’t know how we will get out of this situation. Well, I hope we could find a way, the fastest way to get out of this mess. I don’t think I would be able to sleep tonight because of this.

I know I swear to myself that I didn’t want to meet him again since that chocolate encounter at the small store near the park. But because of this damn marriage certificate that we both don’t kno

    I sat in the visitor's chair and turned my head away from Keandrick's eyes so he wouldn't see my flushed face. He had been staring at me for so long that I was about to get up and leave his office to calm down because I felt like I couldn't breathe. a stranger who appears to be his age. I lost my desire to leave the room.“Good day, dear friend!" A man uttered.“Whoa! All I wanted to do was hug you, dude. You must have missed your friend." The man, who was still grinning, questioned Keandrick. Everywhere he goes, this guy brings his own sunshine with him.From my vantage point, this person appears to be close friends with Keandrick. He really does exude positive energy from the moment he walks into the room. He even wanted to hug my boss, but my boss kept putting himself between them.Although Keandrick's response was emotionless, his male companion appeared unconcerned, as if he was accustomed to my boss' tolerant demeanor.Keandrick's emotionless response causes me to almost snort;

  • The Marriage Contract   Chapter 29

    THE WORD marriage was a big word for me. If ever you’ll enter into the sacrament of marriage, you must be ready for the lifetime commitment because marriage wasn’t just a stage of life where you wanted to marry someone at first then if you get tired, you’ll leave him or her. In the stage of marriage, there was no room for playing. People weren’t playing at this stage. Before two people enter this stage, you two must be very sure that you love each other and that both are willing to enter into a lifetime commitment. Being married to someone was the starting point where you will be building a family with your partner. Before you marry someone, ask yourself first, “Am I ready to commit?” Because as I said, this is the stage of our lives where there’s no turning back. Some people were getting divorced from their partners because, in the first place, they weren’t truly ready for the commitment, that they think married life was easy but it wasn’t. I said to myself that if ever I finally g

    I’M PRETTY sure that Keandrick would find a way of getting out of the mess that I brought. I think I am bad luck here because ever since I entered the picture, I brought a mess to him. Yeah, what luck. After the confirmation of that fucking real marriage certificate by Darwin, my mind was like wandering in another universe, still processing these unending weird happenings around me. While Keandrick on the other side, immediately called someone on the phone I assumed that he was going to file an annulment of this so-called marriage thing I’ll be thanking him for that but that will be after if we get successfully annulled. Darwin teases his friend before we took separate paths to get to our supposed work. Well, it was just Darwin who left since he has a lot of work to do on his list. Keandrick must be grateful for having a friend like him who could spend a little of his time helping his friend’s problem. “See you around some other time, Audrey! I’ll update you two if there’s any prog

    TODAY IS ANOTHER day to spend in the Saavedra company. I’m still sleepy but I need to go to the company. I just couldn’t take an absence because I need to sleep because I am a fucking secretary of Keandrick Saavedra.Ugh, I really hate this!I lazily got up from my bed and went straight into the bathroom to get ready. I wear a black skirt that’s above the knee a sky blue long sleeve. I really love it when my outfit is like this because I look like a professional with this kind of outfit on. I put a light makeup and I’m done.“Oh, you’re already going?” I get one sandwich from the plate that I assume Bella prepared for breakfast before I nodded my head to her.“I’m in a hurry. I think I’m already late,” I lazily responded and get the mug of coffee she was holding and took a sip from it. For being together for God knows how many years already with Bella, we no longer care sometimes if we used the same spoon together or take a sip of coffee from one’s mug. Yeah, we have nothing to hide f

    The whole meeting just went smoothly and I was just beside Keandrick, taking down notes on the important matters. And when we finished, the two guys shake their hands to close the deal. I stand up when the two guys both stand up.I guess the businessman here is his business partner and they just made another deal. Fucking millionaires."Thank you for your cooperation," Keandrick said as they shake hands.The businessman was I think just around his 30s already. Not bad though. He looks dashing in his coat. Looks mature enough."It was an honor to work with Saavedra Inc.," said the other party. The businessman then look at me and smiled which I returned and give him a slight bow to show respect.Keandrick and I went back to his office and I was just behind him, following him. I took a glance at my wristwatch while walking and saw that it was already noon. Lunchtime. Time flies so fast when you are busy doing something. I even heard my tummy growling, telling me that I need to eat and th

    I CAME BACK to Keandrick’s office and saw that Darwin was still there. They were talking about something that I didn’t know about so I didn’t mind them and just put them on the table near the couch where Darwin was sitting.“There you go,” I said as I put the plastics on the table. “I didn’t know what food you guys will like for your lunch so I just grab the food I think you’ll like eating for today. I couldn’t call any of you two because I don’t have your contact number,” I explained and that’s the truth.“That’s okay, Audrey. I think this fried chicken is the best. I didn’t take any breakfast and I am super hungry right now.” I chuckled at Darwin’s statement before he quickly dig in.That made sense. Looking at him right now, keeping himself busy with the food, I could say that he is indeed hungry and I think that he was more hungry than me though. I gave Keandrick the food that I bought for him but he just stares at the food on his table like it was the most disgusting dish right n

    ANOTHER LESSON I learned in life, is that when you are mad, you should avoid talking because you might burst out. By bursting out your frustrations, you can also hurt someone. And when you hurt someone, it is too late to ever turn back time again.I gulp hard when Keandrick takes another step and my feet seem like they have their own lives and that they took a step backward. One more step backward and I felt something cold against my back. And when I glance at my right side, that’s when I thought that I had nowhere to go. I felt the cold wall against my back and I don’t know what to say. I just burst out with my frustrations due to fatigue from my boss! And he’s not just an ordinary boss. He is Keandrick Saavedra!What am I thinking?!I just shouted at Keandrick Saavedra!Panic started to register in my system at the thought that he might not sign my clearance for my finals. This job will serve as my final exam! My performance here would be my grades! What if he’ll fail me?! Oh god, I

    After what happened yesterday at the restaurant, I still don't know how I will be able to face Mr. Saavedra. I mean, I just shouted my frustrations to him yesterday! Now, even though he said that he's not mad, I still feel nervous. Like... What if he just said that and surprised me today that I'm already fired, right? That's possible because I've read that in some books.The thought that he would tell me later that I was fire, made my heart beat faster than normal. I facepalm in my recklessness. You're so dead, Audrey. So dead...If not for my college diploma, I wouldn't be worried this much because I could still find a job. But god, this is for my college diploma that's why I am this nervous as hell!Lord, am I gonna repeat my last semester in my last year of college? I don't have any savings if in case I'll repeat the semester.I have already called all the saints I could call to spare me the trouble I created.

    I SILENTLY TOOK a glance once again at Ken, his hands on the steering wheel, swiftly manuevering it and quietly driving. Looking from his side profile, I could really tell that there's no doubt that he was a younger version of his brother. It's just that, Keandrick is just more mature and always have this dark aura with him that will make people think that he carries half of the world's biggest problems, he also look intimidating that would made everyone afraid of him and the serious one, and Ken on the other side is always that friendly version, always have this positive vibes with him and smiles at towards almost everyone. I didn't expect that I would bump into him at the baywalk at this hour. I mean, what is he doing there? It's almost 7 in the evening and he's out there. Or maybe he also just wants to breathe fresh air from all of those toxicity of work in the office just like me. Whatever. Whatever what he's doing out there is none of my business anyway.

    It was already past 6:30 in the evening and I was not yet in my best friend’s condo unit. After I got off from work, I decided to have some alone time with myself. I decided to go here at the bay walk, where I could feel the cold breeze of the young night hitting my body making a few strands of my hair go up to my face.The crisp air by the water has a captivating and energizing quality that creates a visual mosaic that conveys the moment's essence. The crisp, cold air tickles my skin as I sit at the park's cement bars to keep myself from falling into the water.The faint aroma of salt penetrates the sea breeze and flows into the crisp air, adding to the whole experience. The wind blows through my hair, a symphony of rustling whispers, and it feels both energizing and calming, like nature's embrace.The sound of the wide body of water resonates throughout my body as the breeze envelops me, giving me a sense of the infinite. Waves breaking in the background blend with the wind to creat

    Chapter 44 My hands went cold as if I am shivering due of the aircon that was turned on. But I know more than that. I am nervous. And I don’t know from where it came from and why. My mind could sense something was off if I really go inside my boss’ office. I don’t want to give myself false hope but I hope I was wrong because I really don’t want to talk about it. As I turned the knob and pushed the door lightly, I saw Mr. Saavedra sitting on his usual spot and just like the some other days, he was busy reading some papers. I was about to back down but before I could even closed the door, he already caught me peeking inside and from that moment, I know that there’s no turning back. It’s too late now because he already caught me in the act. “You’re here,” he uttered in a low voice but enough to sent shivers on my body as if we were just close. “Come here,” he added and I did what he said. My steps were average and I don’t know why am I nervous right now. My heart pounded louder than

    It's already 3 in the morning and I still haven't gotten any sleep. My mind was still active at this hour which made it harder to sleep. It was clouded with thoughts and I couldn't have any idea how to calm my mind and finally put myself into a peaceful sleep. I was just staring at the white ceiling. I could still feel my eyes being puffy from all of the crying because of that encounter with my ex-boyfriend and gladly, Bella kept her mouth shut after seeing me in my worst state once again, maybe already an idea after seeing me at that state.I move to the left and hug my extra pillow. I still have work later and I'm here, deprived of sleep. What in the world is happening to me?!My ex-boyfriend... I just love him too much for me to feel such pain after breaking up with him because that's the least that I could do, to free myself from him. But the pain is too much for me to handle. I have so much on my plate that I'm almost going crazy. And I just want this to be over.But then, I'm s

    Just by the thought of my relationship status with the CEO of the Saavedra Inc.—Keandrick Saavedra, is enough to make my eyes and heart cry in confusion, in frustration, and because of my own stupidity. Never in my life had I thought that I'd ended up in this kind of situation. He confessed to me. He said he likes me. He never denied it to me. I was even the one who is not believing in every words that goes out in his very own mouth and tongue because well, even if other people is in my position, they will as well find it very impossible that a person like Keandrick Saavedra will like me. I read a lot about rich men falls in love with poor girls but I already set in my mind that the reality is way too far from the fictional world. And for somehow, I know I have hurt his ego. And then now, we just kissed. I honestly don't know what will happen to us next. I am his secretary and it is normal for me to interact with him because basically, he is my boss here. I work for him.

    "Uh... Did I interupt something?" A voice uttered and I quickly move my face away from Keandrick. I was about to stand up from Keandrick's lap but he didn't let me. He look at me with warning eyes and I just pouted and just choose to sat comfortably on his lap despite the embarassment I am feeling right now. But then, I still choose to quickly get myself up and fix my skirt that is a little bit crumpled due of sitting at Keandrick's lap. My heart was pounding hard inside my chest. I cleared my throat like as if nothing happened a while ago and convinced myself that the person who just came inside the room didn't saw what we are doing. I face palm due of embarrassment because I know to myself, even if I admit it or not, that someone saw Keandrick and I kissing passionately. Oh my god! I felt my cheeks heated at that realization that I just kissed Keandrick's lips! He's my boss for goodness sake! My cheek continues to heat up and swea I am now looks like a fucking red tomato.What I ha

    "You really wouldn't believe that I am into you?" he added but I don't know how to respond to the words he said that all I could do is blink. "Well, Audrey, from now on, I am formally informing you that I'll court you and make you my girlfriend," he uttered with finality while staring directly into my eyes as if he can see me through my soul. We stared at each other as my eyes remained widened in shock, mouth gape open.I tried to look for signs in his eyes that he was just messing with me but I found none. And deep in myself, I know that I am scared that Keandrick might really saying the truth—that he'll make me his. I don't know why am I even scared and it just frustrated where this is coming from. I don't know what to say after that sudden confession. God! Keandrick Saavedra never failed to surprise me! He always got something on his sleeves.Keandrick Saavedra is a well known ruthless business man in the country. Their family is famous due of their chain of hotels in the country

    "Ah, I'm so tired!" Bella mumbled as we both drop our bags on the floor and exhaustedly drop ourselves on the sofa and tightly close my eyes.We just came home at Bella's condo from our shift at the coffee shop. The number of customers tonight was countless. There are lots of them. Some stayed at the shop to review maybe because the finals is coming. On the other hand, Keandrick also message me when he got home to his parents which I find it unusual for him to do it. It's the first time he message me to update his whereabouts and I couldn't get the idea for of him updating me. Meh, it was beyond office hours already. My face crumpled at that thought. I tightly close my eyes to rest myself for a bit due of exhaustion."You hungry?" I uttered, enough to be heard by the girl beside me. "Nope," she replied, popping the letter 'p'. "I want to rest now. I'm sleepy," she added and I heard her yawned. I nodded. "Same."I get up and pick my bag that I just drop on the floor and went to my r

    After we finished eating, Keandrick insisted on taking me home to Bella's condo but I suddenly panick when I noticed the time when I take a glance at my wrist watch. It's almost 6 PM already and I still have my shift at the coffee shop. Gladly that I already ate, I'll just eat light meal again if I feel like I'm hungry again. "Umm... Just take me at the coffee shop. I still have night shift," I started to cut off the silence and felt Keandrick turned to me. When I take a glimpse at him, I noticed how his brows furrowed while looking at me intently. Confusion was written all over his face but I just avoided his gaze."You're... Still working at night?" I heard him uttered, curiousity was evident in his voice.I silently nodded, "Hmm... It'll be finished at 10 PM," I replied without taking my eyes off the view in front. The car were still not moving."Shall we, Mr. Saavedra? I'll lead the way. Don't worry sir, it's just a few meters before the building where I am staying." He nodded an
