All Chapters of Contract and Marriage: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Maximus' POV:My happiness knew no bounds because of what happened between Sarina and me.We barely slept because I didn't hold back anymore. I was too infatuated with her, unable to control myself when she was willing.I loved her even more because of what she did for me.Honestly, I hadn't expected her to do that, especially after she once told me she wouldn't moan.Just imagining her moaning, let alone giving me a blowjob—yet now, I knew she fully enjoyed everything I did for her whenever we made love.Fucking her in every way I could was my way of showing her my love.The way I made her feel how crazy I was about her proved she was the only special woman I deeply desired. If love languages were real, that would probably be mine."Umm…" I looked at my sleeping wife, now cuddling me with her head resting on my arm.What had this woman done to me that made me so crazily in love with her?I kissed her head while gently stroking her arm. Her skin felt so smooth as if she regul

Maximus' POV:"Where are we going, Maximus?" Sarina asked.It was our last two days in Las Islas, and I wanted to introduce her to Mariano before we returned to Pearlisia.She had been asking me since earlier, but I didn't want to tell her right away—I wanted to surprise her.Not everyone knew about me and my brother—it was a well-kept family secret.If my grandmother had her way, she'd bury it forever. She despised the fact that my mother had a child out of wedlock before she married my father, something she never forgave my mother for."Can't you just wait, wifey? We're almost there, and all your questions will be answered," I said, half-complaining.Why was this woman so impatient? Shouldn't she have patience since she was a nurse? How did she deal with stubborn, troublesome patients? "I'm just asking! Is the place we're going to such a big secret? For all I know, you've already brought other women there, and now you're acting mysterious." She even rolled her eyes at me.

Sarina's POV:I stared at Maximus, who couldn't bring himself to meet my gaze. We were back at the hotel, and he'd been silent since we left Mariano's house.Now, as we sat on opposite sides of the bed, preparing to sleep, I wondered what he could be thinking.Shouldn't I be the one avoiding his eyes after all the teasing I'd done when I thought he was blind? Yet, I had every right to be annoyed with him for making me feel like a fool.The thought made my eyes narrow as I glared at him.Coincidentally, he glanced at me, his eyes widening before quickly looking away.I couldn't hold it in any longer."Maximus!" My voice was loud enough that he couldn't pretend not to hear.He flinched in surprise before speaking. "I can explain, wifey. I didn't mean to deceive you. Like Mariano said, I did it because I wanted Miranda to leave me. I couldn't tell Grandma I didn't want to marry the woman she'd chosen for me. I knew she'd force her decision."I gaped at him, taken aback by how qui

Maximus' POV:I had only asked for three words, but she gave me two full sentences. I couldn't stay still because the happiness I felt had no bounds.She loved me—I was loved by Sarina Sanchez-Salonga!She fell asleep after uttering those words, and here I was, looking like a complete fool, staring at my peacefully sleeping wife.I rested my head, feeling like a teenage boy who had just seen his crush walk by in the school corridor.Shit! I was a grown man and shouldn't be acting like this. I should know how to handle the situation, especially considering my deep feelings for Sarina.I took a deep breath and kissed her forehead before deciding to sleep.It was almost morning, and I needed rest so we could leave later and enjoy ourselves. It was our last day here in Las Islas, and we would return to Pearlisia the next day.I needed energy so I could explore with Sarina later, and of course, we had the night ahead of us. I wouldn't let anything get in the way of us again.With t

Maximus' POV:"Find her!" I shouted to the airport security after realizing my wife was missing.I couldn't stay still, and I didn't know what to do. I had been waiting for four hours, hoping for any news about Sarina.I paced around the security checkpoint while they continued investigating every possible lead, questioning anyone who might have seen something. "Hey, man!" Andrei called out as he and Allan entered. "What happened?"I glanced at him because I knew he had connections here at the airport and ties to the authorities in Las Islas."I don't know, she just went to the restroom, and I was waiting outside for her, but she never came out," I replied, my voice shaky."Okay, breathe, man, breathe," Andrei said, patting my back repeatedly.How could I handle something like this? Something only Sarina could make me feel? Damn it!We had been fine. She knew I loved her, and I knew she loved me, and then—this.When I had nothing left to hide, when I had already experienced
