All Chapters of Contract And Marriage: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

"Are you okay, Sarina?" I saw Dr. Miraez's face when I opened my eyes. I could feel the wetness on my cheeks, and I didn't even realize I had been crying. Maximus suddenly came closer and hugged me tightly. I felt his worry and sympathy for me. His body was shaking, just like mine. I was shaking because of fear and the pain of what I had found out. He was surely shaking from anger and concern for me."We will make him pay, my wife," he whispered as he rubbed my back gently. I felt relieved, knowing that some of my life's questions had been answered. But it was so painful to accept that the person I had first given my heart to was the one who would break and ruin me.I never imagined that Jason could do that to me, even the first time I saw him again when I couldn't remember anything. After knowing he was the first man I ever loved, I quickly felt comfortable, even though I knew Maximus was jealous of him.I told Maximus and Dr. Miraez what had happened once again. It hurt so much to re

I stood frozen in place before Maximus approached me and put his arm around my shoulders. “As I already said, it’s not the right time for my wife to talk to you, Mr. and Mrs. Satudez.”“Rina!” the woman exclaimed, so I turned around and saw my parents.“You’re really Sarina?” The couple still seemed in disbelief, but I nodded. “We just want to talk to you, dear. Your parents are here, and they know we’re not bad people.” The woman looked kind, so I nodded even though Maximus didn’t like it.I smiled at my husband because I could see the irritation on his face. He just wanted to protect me; that’s why he was like that, but since my parents were here and he was with me, I thought it wouldn’t hurt to hear what they wanted to say, even though I knew it was about Jason.We entered the house and sat down in the living room. Maximus, as always, sat beside me. The Satudez couple sat on the couch across from us while my parents were seated to our right.At first, it was silent. No one spoke as

SarinaUntil now, I still feel like I'm floating in the clouds because of Maximus' proposal. Deep inside, I know I'm just a simple person, content with simple things. I'm poor, and there's a vast gap between me and my husband. But he did everything to bridge the two worlds no one thought would ever meet.Maximus didn't even let me dress up nicely when he proposed to me a week ago. I had no idea that, at that very moment, our wedding preparations were already underway. And now, here I am at the Sarina Hotel and Casino, along with our families, for our big day.Thanks to this day's joy, all the bad things that happened in my life disappeared like bubbles. I'm staying in the most expensive hotel suite courtesy of my beloved husband. Where else would he put me but in the best because, according to him, I'm his queen, and he's offering me everything, including his life?"Wow! Is that me?" I asked the stylist after seeing my reflection in the mirror. "I look so beautiful! You're amazing!" I

7 Years Later…SarinaI never thought Maximus would make it real— that we would have many children. After our second child, Chastity turned one, I gave birth year after year. Now, our youngest, Chandler, just celebrated his first birthday.Maximus is still the same as before when it comes to his work. So, he was even more successful, especially with the hotel, resort, and casino. He still tries to come home early to spend time with me and the kids.Everything seems fine, and I’m happy—our family is happy. But I don’t know why there is a part of me that feels uneasy. I often get angry for no reason, and sometimes, I see the frustration on my husband’s face. I don’t know; maybe it’s just me.I try to hide these feelings because of our kids, especially since I’m still breastfeeding our youngest. With the children coming one after the other, I couldn’t return to work or pursue my dream of becoming a doctor. How could I when eight children need me all at once?We have nannies, but I can’t f

Sarina"Ma’am Sarina, are you okay?" I looked at Lisa, who was staring intently at me. Beside her were Rocel and Nanny Rowena, who used to be Chase's nanny and was now holding Chandler. They had their furrowed brows as they stared at me."Huh? Oh, yes, I'm okay." I smiled at them because they seemed worried about me. "Did you say something?" I asked."Rowena said she's going to take Chandler upstairs, along with Chanton and Chansen, to bathe them," she said."Oh, okay, Rowena. Thank you very much." The nanny nodded and smiled before leaving us. My sixth and seventh children were in the living room with another nanny, so she would pass by there. Chase, Chastity, Channing, Chanden, and Chancy were all in school. On mornings like this, it's usually just us left in the house."Ma'am Sarina, is something bothering you?" Lisa asked after Rocel also left us. She sat on a stool beside mine, and we were in the kitchen."Why do you ask?""I've noticed that something seems different about you. Yo
