All Chapters of Contract And Marriage: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Sarina"Hi, my wife. How are you feeling?" Maximus' face greeted me as soon as I opened my eyes. I felt so weak, but seeing his handsome face gave me a sudden burst of energy."I'm okay now, my husband.""You really worried me. Why didn't you call me when you weren't feeling well?""I didn't want to bother you at work. You're always absent." He laughed softly and stroked my cheek while his thumb gently rubbed my hand, which he was holding."You will never be a bother to me. You actually give me power and energy because I get stronger when I see you and hear your voice."He never makes my heart flutter; words like that make me love him even more. Even if I can't remember many of our happy moments, I can feel that what I feel for him is real. It's like my heart remembers him even if my mind can't."I've been here since yesterday. Aren't we going home yet?" I asked. Knowing that many employees depended on him, I didn't want to take up too much of his time."The doctor said you need to be

SarinaWhat happened between Maximus and me at the hospital felt strange. I never thought I would agree to do something like that in a place like that. Well, it wasn't dirty or anything. It's just that it didn't feel right to make love in a place where someone could possibly see or catch us, even though we were married. But I admit it feels exciting and realized that no matter what, I will always do everything as long as I'm with my husband.I'm really happy to know that my husband loves me very much. That's why I need to sort out everything I need to. I need to remember. Maybe there's more that happened to me three years ago. Maybe, besides Ralph, there are other people behind why I got separated from my husband.I have to stay strong for myself and those who love and care for me. I don't want to end up in the hospital again, as it might put my baby at risk.I often dream about that scene and don't know why it keeps returning. I want to forget it, but I can't because it keeps showing

Sarina“Are you ready, Mrs. Lardizabal?” Dr. Miraez asked, and I nodded in response. Even though Jason scared me a bit, I couldn’t delay this any longer. I needed to remember anything about my past, like what Maximus told me.I straightened up on the couch and looked again at Dr. Miraez, signaling I was ready for our session. I wasn’t sure if it was my desperation to remember. Still, I pushed myself harder, squeezing out every hidden memory. Minutes passed, and though it was difficult, something Jason had said earlier flashed in my mind.“No, Sarina!”“You’re mine!”After that, memories started to flood back. It began with Maximus and me walking hand-in-hand to the airport restroom.The restroom was clean and nice to use. I had just finished and walked out of the stall when I noticed a utility worker cleaning the mirrors. The worker was wearing a face mask, so I didn’t think much of it—it seemed normal.I went to the sink, set my handbag down, and used my fingers to comb through my hai

MaximusAfter Sarina left the hospital, I got really busy. Even though I didn't want to leave her, I let her visit Dr. Miraez. I learned from her bodyguard that she saw the doctor, and I was fine with that since she had someone with her whom I trusted to protect her. She also told me about her sessions and why she needed them.A couple of days ago, my wife asked if I could come with her to the next session. Who was I to say no? So here we are, sitting in front of Dr. Miraez, who is smiling at us. Although I could see some worry on her face, she still seemed optimistic about my wife's condition. Maybe she was just concerned about what Sarina might discover, too."How are you, Mr. and Mrs. Lardizabal?" the kind doctor greeted us with a smile."We're doing well," my wife answered cheerfully, while I only managed a small smile.I couldn't help but feel worried for my wife, especially after she told me that she felt like she was about to find out something more. I could see the fear and anx

SarinaI pulled off the cloth covering the face of the man, pinning me down after I asked who he was and got no answer. I couldn’t speak when I saw who it was. It felt like my world crumbled as I looked at Jason’s grinning face. I couldn’t believe the man I loved for so long, who I thought I knew completely, was capable of such an evil act. The sweet and happy Jason I knew is gone.“You’re mine, Sarina, only mine!” he said angrily after I slapped him, and he slapped me back, causing my face to turn. It was painful; he hit me with so much force that I cried. He never let me get hurt by anything or anyone when we're together. And here he was, the cause of my pain, both physically and emotionally.“I didn’t think you’d ever do this to me.” His eyes softened for a moment, probably because of what I said. But it quickly vanished, and he looked at me angrily again.“You’re supposed to be with me, Sarina. That man doesn’t want to break up with you once your contract ends. Even you! You don’t
