I sat up straight and shifted my gaze between Eric and Calla. They looked so beautiful together, and their physical attributes complemented each other. Calla's tight-hugging gown outlined her lovely upper body shape, but the modified A-Line design of her skirt flared below her hips, concealing her sexy butt. The advantage of Eric's meticulous attitude was that he always planned everything well, and it reflected even in the pale blue shade of Calla's gown, matching Eric's navy blue three-piece suit.
My eyes subconsciously fell on Calla's lower abdomen, and my heart ached at the thought that inside her womb could be Sean's child. She caught me looking at her belly, and she smiled.
"No bump yet," she smiled genuinely and wondered how she could stand unaffected before the two men who shared her life and before me as the rival. Because if anyone would ask me, I already felt like disappearing from their sight. Not because I was

"Liar!" My knees started to shake as I watched the mad man barging into the function hall. He wore a set of crumpled, cotton shirts and black pants on top of white pair of sneakers. He had a fair complexion and good looks, concealed by his disheveled, and untrimmed hair. Except for the crumpled shirt and messy, long hair, the man looked like he came from a prominent family. The brands of his clothes looked expensive, as well as his pair of Gucci Ace leather sneakers. I was familiar with it because of Eric. "Mr. Sean Mark Grey, you are going to marry this woman while offering your love to someone else?" "Have someone call the guard!" Sean instructed to particularly no one, but the hospital's security officers came running after a while. "Mr. Grey, that is not the answer to my question. Why would you offer a whirlwind marriage to this woman when your heart belongs to someone else?" "Take him away!" Sean ignored him, motioning for the guard to co

Sean told me a while ago that he had cut all his communication with Calla while we were in Hawaii, but how did she found out about our wedding? Sean made it sure that the ceremony had its full privacy that no reporters were allowed. He also warned our guests that we wanted to keep our moment private."She has her ways, Red. She is linked to the president, so she could always use his power and influence to do what she likes.""Why did that man say that you only marry me because of your love for power and wealth?""That's foolishness."I shut my mouth after that. It was Sean who had the wealth, so what that man said was indeed nonsense. I just placed my head in his chest, finding comfort in sniffing his scent. He moved and swayed me around until the music stopped.We were about to go back to our seats, but the lady of the ceremony stopped us."Mr. Sean Grey and Dr. Red, may I ask you to please remain on the dance floor?"Sean shifted hi

I turned my head sideways to look at Eric. He was also staring at them with a creased forehead. "Jealous?" I smirked. Never once in five years did he make me feel he was jealous whenever I danced with his business colleagues. He even asked me for it to maintain good ties with his prospects or business partners. "I am jealous on your behalf. How could Mr. Grey flirt with another woman in from of you?" "Look, who's talking? Weren't you doing the same way back then?" I rolled my eyes in disdain. After all the pain he caused me, how could he judge another man? I may be hurting to see Sean and Calla happy together, but my trust in Sean prevailed. He had proved his love to me countless times, and he was a million times gentler than Eric. "I was honest with you, Red. I never gave false assurances." I chose to keep silent because I saw no good in bringing up the past with him. Sean was just displaying sportsmanship and maybe trying hard to put down th

As if everything fell according to a plan, the music changed before the previous ended. Sean's dance continued without being noticed since the waiters placed another set of desserts on each of the tables."Red, why not go out and wash your face? You don't want Sean to see you crying."I chuckled lightly and nodded. For the first time after our breakup, my mood lightened up with him. I had already seen the gentle side of him, and I thought I had understood him better."You are right.""And because I don't want to see you hurting more from watching them dancing their hearts out.""Ouch!" And a bittersweet grin broke out on my face.Eric chose rather wisely to go back to his seat while I went to the bathroom. Perhaps, he was just avoiding gossip or avoiding Sean's suspicion. I was glad Eric made a move because it was not yet the right time to expose Sean's lies. I got hurt at the thought that it was Sean who first set the rule of open communica

Though Eric succeeded to sow some seeds of doubts regarding Sean's personality, all those just disappeared like bubbles every time I was with my husband. I could never remember any of his flaws because he showered me with utmost care and love. Eric also took his distance from me so I was able to focus on learning my new responsibilities. Dr. Fabella and the rest of the administrative council were so patient with me. And with Sean's full support, I was able to adapt to my new designation faster than I thought I would be. One busy day, Dr. Fabella encouraged me to take a half-day off. Perhaps he knew that I got so drained already. There were lots of meetings and orientations, and it got me dead tired at the end of the day. I went to Laminae to surprise Sean. Ever since we returned from Hawaii, I had not visited the company anymore. I hadn't even met my team as the head of the clinic. "Dr. Red, glad to see you again!" Hazel ran to meet me while I

I remembered that day when Sean looked so disheveled ashe entered my room here in Laminae. When I accepted Sean's offer to lead the team of medical professionals to handle Laminae's clinic for hundreds of workers, he provided me a private room to stay. He could have allocated a bed for me in the doctor's lounge, but he assigned a luxurious spacefor me. I knew at that time that his room was next to mine.I wondered why Sean looked so messy at that time, but when I saw his things in my bedroom, I was emotionally moved. I presumed that Sean was really sincere in inviting me into his life because he decided to share a room with me. He planned everything for both of us. Even the house that I bought from Philip turned out to be a shared complex with him. Now that we are married, he converted the house into a single-detached house even before we returned from Hawaii.This side of him confused me. He made everything possible for us to get closer to each other. I co

I stood frozen by the door after Calla declared her war against me. I watched her enter the door to her office, and I flinched as she slammed it close. I didn't have to let Sean explain why she exited on that door. Aside from the room we shared, and the one that Calla occupied, Sean had another private room in his office, just beside Calla's space.With the way Sean connected our doors in the house, and here in Laminae, I could not keep myself from suspecting that perhaps, on the wall adjacent or parallel to Calla's room, it could also have a door connecting the two rooms from inside. No one would ever suspect that while Sean is inside his office, he could always find time to spend some romantic moments with her.I swallowed hard as the pain crept fully into my heart. It hurt too much that I didn't have the energy to confront him. I walked away and went back to our room, trying to act brave. And since I came here to surprise him with dinner, I set up the table just as

"Doc, I need you in the clinic. Now!" Sean's loud and frightened voice pierced into my ears. I turned my head sideways to look and tell him I didn't need Dr. Mimi. She could treat my signs of mild dehydration but not its cause. However, Sean was white as paper as he stared at me, his eyes as wide as his opened mouth. I just lost the energy to stop him. I panted in exhaustion as my episodes of vomiting drained my strength. Drops of sweat trickled down my temples, and my skin was cold and clammy to my touch. My knees wobbled, and before my vision turned into a complete shade of black, my feet lifted off from the floor. Sean carried me to the clinic. Dr. Mimi personally inserted an IV line in my arm, running a plain Lactated Ringer's solution afterward to replace my fluid and electrolyte loss. I cast her a weak smile without saying anything as I was too tired and emotionally drained to talk. Dr. Mimi did not insist on speaking to me even if she knew that it wasn

"This is a mistake," I said, breaking the silence and awkwardness. "Because you thought that another man is coming in?" he said, and his lips broke into a tender smile. He strode fast towards me, then wrapped me right away in his arms. "I miss you, babe," he said in a hoarse voice, hugging me tighter. "I missed you so much." "You have no right to say that. In the next few hours, you will already have a new bride." Sean then held me at arm strength and looked into my eyes. "Mia?" "Who else?" I replied, my voice startingto crack. "My mother has long adopted Mia as my little sister. I'm sorry for not telling you this because it was part of the plan to mislead President Ric and his allies." My goodness! I felt like a candle, melting in too much shame. "I have always told you that there's no one else in my heart, long before I found you." Sean cupped my face, and when he was about to bend his h

I furrowed my brows while I took the paper bags from her hands."Dr. Mia would like you to be there at her garden wedding this afternoon."I froze in my seat, unprepared to take the big blow. Sean and Mia are getting married today? Why hasn't she told me about it? Is she afraid to break the news to me because I am sick?I felt a lump sticking inmy throat, summoning the floodgates of tears behind my eyes to open up. I chuckled loudly, but my tears trickled endlessly that I couldn't brush them enough with the back of my index fingers."Look, Dr. Red, the garden is already ready," the nurse said as she walked towards the glass wall, peeping throughthe narrow slits betweenthe curtains.I jumped off the bed after a while then sauntered towards the glass wall. A beautiful flower garden greeted my eyes, and there were rows of chairs and tables indeed, wrapped in cream and burgundy pleated skirts.I scanned the place furth

I ran to the window and parted the curtains to the side. I looked over the direction of the Kalasag Hill, and just as I anticipated, I saw black clouds of smoke rising from the forest. Instead of losing my strength in fear, I felt an adrenaline rush from within me. I stormed out of the room, and without heeding the manager's yells, I ran towards the direction of the forest.I felt within me a prodigy of strength that none of the resort’s staff was able to stop me. Not long after, I heard the sound of the galloping horse’s hooves.“Ma’am, hop in!” the manager yelled at me while I moved to the side to give way.I saw him pulling short both the reins. Then he braced one hand on the horse’s neck, holding the rein tightly and grabbing its mane. Raising the other rein up and back, he then pulled it toward his shoulder.The manager then got off quickly from the horse as soon as it pulled to a stop. Without waiting for his inst

"Thanks, God! You're finally awake!"I shut my eyes back when the blinding light of the sun entered my eyes. I then opened them slowly until I got adjusted to the glare. I stared at the woman who stood by the bedside, brushing the tears in her eyes with the back of her hand."Mia?" I exclaimed, my eyes glowed at the sight of my rival in my love for Sean."Why are you here?"Her lips trembled right away, and her eyes welled with tears. "You scared us so much, especially Sean. I got so worried that he might not be able to handle his grief."I furrowed my brows as I gathered back my thoughts on what happened before I drifted off to sleep. The ache on my back, the muscle pain, and my grogginess told me I had been in bed for days. Then, I remembered I was running after Sean and ended on escaping from the president through the cave. And I recalled everything that followed after that. A bronco bug bit me, and Philip's voice was the last thing I heard befo

The manager gestured with his hand to let me follow him to the elevator. Once we were there, he took me to the seventh floor. He waited until I stepped out before he came up by my side. Then he led me to a room at the end corner of the floor. It had mechanical locks that seemed difficult to break in, but the manager keyed in the codes with deft fingers. In less than a minute, the door opened, and he led me inside.My eyes caught the huge screen right away, displaying multiple windows that showed different areas of the hotel. The manager then ran his fingers on the keys, and the lobby where the president and his men were dining,zoomed in.“Did you hear something from them that scares you?” he asked, turning his head to look at me.I just held his gaze, but I did not nod nor shake my head.“Is this the reason?” he asked again, and after some clicks, a window opened to an area by the outskirts of the forest.My eyes flew

I tuned in a sharp ear while I was sipping from my cup, listening to their conversation. Pretending to be occupied, I picked up a magazine from under the table. These men were just a few meters away from me, though a pillar blocked me from their view. I knew they saw me, but perhaps thinking I was harmless, they did not seem to mind my presence.“Have the troops arrived already?” one of the men asked, his voice louder than a whisper. But because of the deafening silence of the place, you can hear even a needle dropping.“Yes, they are already surrounding the forest of Kalasag.”“How far is it from here?”“It’s the next hill from here.”So, I am now in a resort close to Kalasag, Sean’s homeplace. Mr. Ian and all his allies must have brought me here to blackmail me into selling the other half of my shares by using Sean as a pawn. But of all places in the face of the earth, why does Mr. I

I got up from my bed and walked towards the window. Parting the curtains to the side, the blinding light of the sun piercing through the window panes made me close my eyes for a moment. I closed my eyes tightly then opened them slowly until I got adjusted to the glare. The moment I gazed into the distance, all I could see was the rich and sprawling greeneries below the wide canopy of the sky, animated by its sailing, fluffy clouds. From where I stood, it looked like I was on top of a hill overlooking the rolling stretch of farms and plain below.I then looked around the room. My huge bed satatop a carpeted floor under a chic ceiling design illuminated by white, LED lightings underneath a rectangular frame. Aside from a set of couches, a coffee table, and built-in lockers, only a set of television, a phone, and a refrigerator graced the room. But what caught my interest in being here was the glass walls that allowed me to see the spectacular views of the rows of trees, t

I couldn’t seem to imagine that my grandfather had other women. Perhaps, he did it while grandmother was still alive. But who am I to judge him anyway?“It was a short-term relationship with his secretary, back then. When your grandmother found it out, she almost left; but luckily, your grandfather was able to persuade her to save their marriage. From then on, he never had a female secretary, and that was how Philip came in.”“So, Philip was grandpa’s secretary?”“And Sean’s, when he passed away. He is your grandfather’s most trusted assistant.”My heart sank as I heard it. I still remembered how Philip affirmed Hazel’s confession about my real identity. If it were not for him, I would not have trusted Hazel’s claims. If it were not for him, I would not have come to believe that Sean was making lies all along.“Sadly, he has betrayed them,” I said, my lips tur

“Dr. Red, I just received a report that Prospero City is now on complete lockdown,” the pilot told me after I climbed into the plane after our last stopover for refueling and engine checks.“Is it because of the spread of the Bronc X virus?” I asked, stiffening in my seat; my eyes unblinking.“Your city is the only place negative of Bronc X infection,” the pilot replied while his hands were fumbling over some keys on the cockpit. “But it is heavily guarded since Mr. Sean Grey’s business establishments are there. No one is allowed an entry or exit for the moment.”My thoughts then went on Sean and I was wondering if this pilot beside me was the one who transported Sean to wherever he may be at this moment.“Is Sean in Prospero now?” I tried to sound dry, presuming that everybody already knew our status. And surely, this pilot who brought every dignitary to each of their destinations had also
