I remembered that day when Sean looked so disheveled as he 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 space for 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

    We continued our disrupted romance at the clinic. Sean was more gentle this time, and in every inch that his hands and mouth had touched, spoke of his love and care for me. He treated me like fragile porcelain, even as when he slowly entered inside me."Are you sure this won't hurt our baby?" he asked as he moved in and out with care. I knew it must have been so difficult to restrain his urge to pounce harder and faster."Just go ahead. Faster," I whispered, pulling his hips with my two hands. I was so close that I hated his turtle move.Sean chuckled as he gave in, seeing that I was already restless. Yet, as soon as I had my release ahead of him, he pulled out and continued it with his hand. I felt a deep sense ofpity inwatchinghim that I reached out to help until he shivered and rolled his eyes, allowing his sticky fluid to drip into my fingers."Our developing baby is protected by the amniotic fluid in my uterus, as well as by the str

    “Good morning!”I glanced towards the voice of a woman coming in our direction. Her smile was bright as the morning sun rays piercing through the glass wall of the restaurant Sean brought me in.“Miss Trixie,” Sean greeted back with a smile as he scrambled to his feet to pull out a chair for her to sit down.“This is too kind of you, Mr. Grey,” she said, throwing me an awkward gaze before she sat down across us.“Miss Trixie, you’re here,” I said, smiling, acknowledging her presence. She was Eric’s most favorite designer, and ironically, Sean’s, too. I just learned about it when we had our gown fitting for that party in the hospital during the Founding Anniversary.Trixie glanced at Sean with a confused expression even if her smile never left her face. I also shifted my gaze between Sean and back to her.“I let her come over so that you can choose a dress for tonight,&rd

    We stepped into a large function hall in one of the prestigious hotels that Eric owned. People were already inside, dressed in formal attire. Since I had been into many functions and launching like this in the past with Eric, where I mostly stood as an escort with no real understanding of their business whereabouts, I never asked what kind of event we were attending tonight.Sean and I marched down the red carpet with bright smiles on our faces, numbed to the continuous flashing of the cameras aimed at us. I noticed that most of the people around were the same faces in his business circle; only that tonight, the men had their wives or partners by their sides."What's the event tonight?" I finally asked Sean as I felt amazed at seeing lots of female attendees tonight.Sean pulled a chair for me and motioned for me to sit down before he pulled out another seat next to mine. Once in his seat, Sean pointed the huge, glittering letters on the stage that said. "Thanks

    I danced with Sean all night, resting between intervals when he felt I was already exhausted. I saw several pairs of eyes thrown at us, perhaps, waiting for the chance to dance with Sean. Yet, Sean did not leave me as he promised."Mr. Grey, may I have a moment with you, please?" Dr. Fabella approached us while we were on our way to leave.Sean glanced at me, and I nodded. I held high respect for the chairman, so I offered to stay behind and wait for him in the coffee shop. I felt cold, and I wanted a hot drink."Chairman, kindly wait for me in the lobby. I'll accompany my wife first to the coffee shop.""Go ahead." Dr. Fabella gave me a nod and a smile, motioning for us to go ahead.Sean chose a table by the glass wall with a couch as its seat. My eyes lit up to see the soft cushion and pillows. I could no longer wait to slump my body into its comfort. The moment I leaned my head on the backrest, my drowsiness took over, and I didn't know how long

    Sean wrapped an arm around me tightly. Looking at the murderous look of the president, my knees started to shake. I was wondering what Sean had done, causing him to act this way. Wasn't he the one asking Sean a favor to keep Calla? If this is all because of jealousy, he wouldn't have gone a long way to follow us here. "Mr. President, what wrong have I done for you to scare my wife?" "I'm not scaring anyone, especially your wife, because she is just one of your victims, just like me." "Whatever you are talking about, Mr. President, I don't understand. I never have any ill intention towards anyone." Sean stepped forward to end his confrontation with the president, but one of his men blocked our way. "Don't you dare show some disrespect at President Ric!" Sean drew out a deep sigh, and I could tell how much he was holding back his urge to throw a punch at the president's face. Before he could speak, someone spoke behind us. "Follow us at

    "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
