Contract And Marriage

Maximus

It has been three days since Sarina’s parents returned to the province, but I still can’t get their approval and concern for Jason out of my mind. Knowing they are putting my wife in his hands while they’re here is painful for me, even though I understand they don’t know that Sarina and I are already married.

I also can’t forget how quickly Sarina denied having feelings for me when her father asked her. It hurts because I love her. But I can’t admit that to her now, especially knowing she has no feelings for me. It’s not about being a coward, but I do have my pride.

I started to cherish our little teasing as a couple, and she looks beautiful whenever she blushes. I don’t know why, until now, she wasn’t used to me and my vulgar words even though we have been intimate every day. Her kisses are what make me breathe.

Even if Sarina doesn’t love me, one thing I am sure of is that she enjoys what I do to her. Every time we fuck and make love, accompanied by her moans and sighs that sound like music to my ears, is what I treasure the most. I love how she screamed and clung to me and gave me a few scratches whenever she reached her climax.

As a businessman known to be one of the wealthiest in the country, I know many women are infatuated with me and want my attention. I’ve entertained some before, but it was just to fulfill my needs as a man, especially since I didn’t like the woman my grandmother wanted for me, Midori Sato.

I never had specific preferences for a woman because I didn’t think I’d seriously fall for someone since my attention was focused on business. But Sarina was different. The first time I saw her face in the hospital where I was admitted and where she worked, many nurses and doctors kept looking at me, with almost all wanting to assist me. Still, Sarina was the only one who didn’t have the time to glance at me.

How do I know this? Because I wasn’t really blind and certainly not crippled. My hospitalization was just a facade to make Midori break up with me, which indeed happened. But I had to maintain my condition in case Midori changed her mind. Then, I used the situation to get close to Sarina.

“Sir, are you okay?” asked Aries. I trusted him and knew everything. He’s not just an assistant but also a close friend. When we’re in the office, he calls me Sir, but when it’s just the two of us, he freely calls me by my name.

“I don’t know what to do with Sarina. Our contract is nearing its end,” I said after a deep breath, leaning back on my office chair.

“You still have time to muster the courage to confess to her.” He believed my wife might have felt something for me as well. Nit is just as intense as I feel for her. Nevertheless, my assistant believes that she does. But I doubt it because of the way she reacted to her parents.

“I don’t think I’ll make it in time,” I told him, feeling hopeless. “You know about Jason, and I heard him say he’d wait for my wife.” Yes, I heard them talk, and it hurt when Sarina told her ex-boyfriend about our contract. It was proof that she really didn’t care about me. I thought she would at least hide that, or if she truly didn’t want to get back at him, she should have used our agreement to her advantage, but she didn’t.

“I didn’t expect you to lose hope so easily,” he said, which made me look at him. “Your marriage is legal. If you don’t file for separation, you’ll remain married. And now that Ma’am Sarina’s parents know about you, they are unlikely to allow a separation because they’re quite conservative based on what you said.”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“What if Sarina tells them about our contract?” I asked hesitantly. When it comes to my wife, I lose my self-confidence.

“Do you think she’ll tell her parents? Especially the reason why she agreed?” I thought about what he said, “One reason I believe Ma’am Sarina doesn’t want her parents to know about your marriage is to avoid the difficulty of separating from you when your contract ends. So take this to your advantage, Sir. Suppose you need to go to Catanduanes to get close to her family. In that case, that’s better, so the whole town knows she’s married, and Jason loses hope of getting back with her, even after a year.” He looks confident, making me think about what he just said.

“You said a lot, but thanks, Aries. You’re a true friend,” I said, grinning. I realized he had a point, and it’s really up to me whether I agree to separate from my wife or not. Aries also suggested I marry Sarina if I truly loved her. I knew what I did was risky, but as I said, I really love that flat-chested woman. I didn’t want to be away from her and couldn’t imagine anyone touching her either.

I’m also grateful for my friend Dr. Jerold, who conspired with me. None of this would have been possible without the people close to me, whom I consider family. They help me a lot in executing my plan to get rid of Midori. And now to get close to my wife.

“By the way, are you okay with going abroad? You need to meet the international investors you want to partner with for the hotel and casino business you want to start,” Aries reminded me. My hotel chain plan is on the move and has already started, and thank God, everything is going smoothly. That’s why I decided to take a big leap. It’s a long-time dream that will materialize soon.

“When is it?” I asked. Now, more than ever, I shouldn’t neglect my businesses; I must grow them for my wife and future children. For now, I’ve decided to show Sarina my sweet side, my thoughtfulness, and, most importantly, my love for her.

“You need to leave next week. I’ll include Ma’am Sarina in the booking, and you have to take this chance on your honeymoon.” He informed me, smiling. He’s rooting for us, so I need to believe in myself. But,

“She doesn’t have a passport,” I said weakly.

“No problem, Sir. I’ve taken care of it. It’s already being processed and will be delivered on time. I have already pulled some strings, so leave them to me.” I grinned at what he said, “Don’t forget my bonus, especially if something good happens between you two in Las Vegas,” he added.

“Noted,” I quickly replied, and he grinned as well. He was about to leave my office when my grandmother suddenly came in. It’s been a while since we last saw each other, and I admit I feel sorry for her, but I won’t let her belittle my wife anymore. She had to know how important Sarina was to me, so she had to accept my wife, whether she liked it or not.

“How are you, grandma?” I asked, but she just rolled her eyes at me. I took a deep breath before getting up from my seat to approach her. She was sitting in my receiving area while Aries was leaving.

“Now you ask,” she said, still upset. She’s always like that whenever she doesn’t get anything she wants. My grandfather spoiled her a lot. I know because I saw how much he took care of and loved this old woman in front of me. He’s also my role model for loving someone. I mean loving my wife, Sarina.

“Grandma, please, don’t be mad. It’s natural for me to defend Sarina because she’s my wife, and I love her. I hope you understand because I don’t want you to be angry with me.” I said in a low voice, asking for understanding. “I want you to try and get to know her. She’s not what you think she is.”

“I still can’t see what you see in that girl, Maximus. No matter how hard I try to understand your decision, I still can’t,” she replied, glaring at me. I know that it was hard for her as well. I used to say yes to her request, whatever it was, but now I refuse because of a woman.

“Grandma, please give Sarina a chance to get close to you. I assure you, once you get to know her, you’ll realize I didn’t make a mistake in choosing her.” Maybe I’m pushing my wife too much on her, but I have no choice but to do that so she understands that Sarina and I can’t separate anymore.

“Fine, I’ll get to know her,” she suddenly said, which surprised me. “But you need to give Midori a job here so you can get to know her as well.” I knew there was a catch.

I took a deep breath, about to answer, but she didn’t give me a chance, “Take it or leave it, Maximus.” Then she stood up to leave. I didn’t chase after her because I was sure it would only give me a headache. Why did I even entertain her?
