"Won't you ask about Ashley's performance?" I teased.Ashley has been working with me for a few weeks now, and she's doing okay. I was just teasing Delton because I knew he was not in favor of what I did.From his laptop, he looked at me. His eyes are still serious."Your performance is much better than anyone else's," he teased, then smiled knowingly.My cheeks automatically turned red as I leaned against his desk. When he laughed softly after seeing the reddening of my cheeks, I was devastated. I immediately bent down and put my mouth on his ear."In bed or in the office?" I teased.He stopped and immediately stared at me. He bit his lip a little, and when he was about to pull my neck, I immediately straightened up."Focus, Mr. CEO." I grinned and walked away from his desk and moved to my desk.I acted as his secretary while he didn't have a secretary yet, but he also did all the work and I could only help with scheduling. I also want to tell you about my pregnancy, but I don't know
My tears fell after his lips landed on my forehead. He kissed me several times there and even kissed my tears away."I am already happy to have you, but I am now the happiest man alive, Savvy," he whispered with all his heart. That made my heart happy again.He planted a kiss on my lips before hugging me tightly."I thought you were mad," I admitted weakly."What? No, Savvy. "I really want to have a family with you," he said, moving away a bit and quickly wiping my tears.I smiled a little, especially when he put our hands together and led me out of the bathroom.After leaving, he helped me sit on the swivel chair before immediately taking out his cellphone and calling someone."Dad, I'm going to be a father," he reported with a smile on his face."Congratulations, son. You deserve every happiness in the world. Send my congratulations to Sage," said Attorney Santiago from the other line, so I nodded.They talked for a while, and I thought he would only call Attorney Santiago, but not
Delton Carancho"Are you sure about this, Son?" That was the question I remember from Attorney Santiago.I nodded my head as I looked at the picture of the only Princess of the Valencia family. I pursed my lips after remembering what her parents had done to mine, and so I wanted revenge."We can fake the marriage, Son," he suggested."No, Dad. Make it real. I'm only going to get married once, and let her marry me," I uttered with determination while staring at the woman.She captivates me. And that I can visibly see that she needs saving. Her lips were curved into a smile, but her eyes told otherwise. She looked sad even though she was smiling at the camera."If that's what you want. I'll warn you, she's a spoiled brat, doesn't know any household chores. Even in business, she doesn't know anything and she only does painting," he explained, to which I just nodded.Whatever it is, I can endure everything. But I didn't know that my patience would be put at risk because of her. She is sav
"I'm going home! Please, do not dare to stop me!" I shouted when I heard his footsteps getting near on the walk-in closet I was in. I have been planning to escape for days and yet keep failing since he's here. He was able to stop me all the time! Frustrating!"Hm, yeah, Savvy-""Will you stop calling me Savvy? And please, let me go home!" I cut him with his sweet nothings. "Am I stopping you from going home? I don't, Savvy." He shook his head and leant on the door jamb. I stop myself from packing my clothes and underwear in the suitcase just so I can face him fearlessly. And yet, he's not looking at me. Instead, he's looking down at my scattered clothes on the floor. "You're not stopping me, but what the fuck with those guards on the gate, Delton? Your displays?!"He abruptly looked at me and even acted as if he had forgotten who I was referring to."Oh, you already forgot Mr. June and Mr. Baldo?" I added.That's the only time he nodded, "Yeah. They are the subdivision guards. Do
"Sage," I whispered as I finished my signature name on the canvas.I can't help but smile while admiring the bouquet of white roses that I painted. Someday, on my wedding day, I'm going to hold this bouquet of white roses with an attached peach color.My smile widened with that thought. I even glanced at the painted off-shoulder wedding gown, as well as an elegant white-gold stiletto."Good job, Sage," I praised myself before running to the windows and taking a secret glance at Andres, who was busy pulling weeds.I pouted a little and stared at him, who looked savagely handsome under the hot sun. And even if he stood too far, I can imagine how his sinful sweat traveled from his forehead down to his sexy neck.My lips formed a smirk with his image in my mind. But then, my reverie faded as I parted my lips upon seeing the entrace of the grey Montero sport into our white high gate.I swallowed an invisible lump, and I don't know why I am suddenly nervous. I automatically hid behind the
I've realized he could be a way to escape this princess life. The only offer is to marry him and not to live with him.That morning, I already planned to marry him and escape. It's a dream come true to be able to live in the middle of nowhere and earn my own money. I'm going to sell my artwork and put on an exhibition.I smirked widely as I went down, running into the living room. But then, my feet automatically stopped when my eyes met the dark stares of the man that I painted last night. He's there, sitting and leaning against the backrest of the sofa, as if he owned the freaking mansion. His lips moved a little, and he intriguingly scanned my whole being. I was tongue-tied, and at that moment, my confidence was nowhere to be found. When a sinful smirk appeared on his sinful lips as he stared deeply into my eyes, I felt ashamed and wanted to flee.I almost had goosebumps and felt my face go bloodless."Did you paint again, Sage? How many times do I have to tell you to stop that non
I have been so out of myself the past few days, wondering if I made the right decision to marry him. I think it would be better to let my parents go to jail than to tie the knot with the attorney. He can choke you through his gaze! I carefully put down the paintbrush on the highstand table and stared lovingly at the wedding bonds that I had just finished. It was a sparkling gold that kept captivating my eyes. I wrote my name on the other one while I am still undecided about what name should be written on the other one. I planned on writing Andres, but I know that can't be.I sighed as I approached the window. There, I found Andres again pulling grass. Even if I am only seeing his back, I know he looks so muscular with his muscle tee. I felt bad for him. How can he manage to settle for being a gardener if he can always find a high-paying job?Hays, Andres. Can't you be just the Attorney?I leant my head against the window and stared deeply at him. But my eyes widened when he looked at
My lips moved a little as my hand sweated. I felt my stomach getting cold, and my heart almost stopped beating with the tension. To think Delton Carnacho is waiting for me makes me want to run away out of fear.My feelings didn't even calm down when I saw the Sweet Café. The surroundings were quiet, and there was no other car aside from that black Mercedes-Benz, black like Attorney Carancho's eyes!My nervousness faded away after realizing that there were no customers inside. That means, no one will witness the signing of the contract. I abruptly removed my seatbelt, got out of the car, and went straight to the coffee shop. But my forehead knotted when I saw the chairs were all fixed on both sides of the cafe, and not only that, there was also a red carpet in the middle. I looked through the counter where I saw a demon standing. I mean, an attorney.I am not sure if I am imagining things, but he looked like a good angel in his white three-piece suit. He even had that red rose on the s
