Be Mine, Once More BMOM ➭ 001 ꕤ ꕤ ꕤ ARYM ZCHRYNNE “MaiMai” – “Let’s get married then.” Sir Jasper said in a serious baritone voice. I wasn't sure if what I was hearing was correct since we were both drinking , and I, well, my vision was already spinning from being so drunk. “Sure! I want to do it right now, Sir! I won't back down!” I said provocatively. I was so broke and just wanted to drown myself in alcohol. I’ll deal with my actions later when the pain in my chest from my failed love life goes away. We were at a bar, and my companions had already left. It was a good thing Sir Jasper was also here, so he shared my table since he was also alone. It just so happened that he was also here, and like me, he was also heartbroken over his ex-girlfriend, who was now in a relationship with his brother, Japeth. If I wasn’t mistaken, her name was Yasmine. I had seen her once at the company with Ma'am Briannah. Since we were both intoxicated, we talked about our heartaches, which was w

BMOM ➭ 003ꕤꕤꕤARYM ZCHRYNNE “MaiMai” –“Feel at home, wife. Everything here is yours too.”Sir Jasper—well, my husband now—is such a flirt. It still feels awkward calling my boss “my husband.”I couldn’t do anything when Jasper insisted on taking me to his home. I guess I really have to accept that I got married out of the blue. Ugh, it hasn’t even been a month since my breakup, and now I suddenly have a husband. Cheers to alcohol.Before I agreed to go with him, we made a deal: we’d try living together and fulfilling our responsibilities as husband and wife for one year. If no love or child came out of it, he’d file for annulment and we’d go our separate ways like strangers.Our months together have been peaceful enough. Though sometimes, I catch Jasper staring longingly at a photo of his ex-girlfriend. I can still see the sadness and regret in his eyes.I’ll admit—I’ve grown to love him. I keep wishing he’d learn to love me too, so we wouldn’t have to part ways. I don’t want to f

I’ve been working here in Singapore for six years as the secretary of Sven Dione Tan, CEO of World Construct Enterprises.“I—I’m really coming with you?” I asked hesitantly.“Of course. You’re my only secretary. Don’t tell me you’re hiding from someone in the Philippines?”Sven grinned teasingly. He was at it again! He knows my life story. In fact, he’s the one who helped me get to Singapore and gave me this job. Sven has been my partner through everything—especially when I was still adjusting to life here. From my pregnancy to raising my child, he was always there.I never imagined that my skinny childhood friend from elementary school would become a powerful CEO in just a few years.Sven is nothing like he used to be. He’s incredibly handsome now, with a well-built body. I’ve seen his eight-pack abs more than

BMOM ➭ 007ꕤꕤꕤARYM ZCHRYNNE “MaiMai” –“Wanna have some drinks?”I turned to the person offering me a glass of hard liquor—it was Architect Lopez. I smiled politely and shook my head. He was handsome too, just as tall as Sven and still quite young. Maybe just a few years older than me, but I didn’t like the way he looked at me.“Thanks, but no, Architect. I don’t drink alcohol,” I declined respectfully.“Oh, I see. I’m sorry about that,” he replied with a smile. He didn’t seem offended by my refusal.Sven had gone to the restroom for a moment, so I was alone at our table.“Do you need anything, Architect Lopez?” came Sven’s baritone voice. His brows were furrowed, clearly displeased.“Nothing, Mr. Tan. I just offered Ms. MaiMai a drink.”“Thanks for the offer, but she doesn’t drink alcohol.”“Yeah, she already told me. Sorry again.”They exchanged a tense look, but Architect Lopez was the first to break eye contact.He excused himself, leaving just me and Sven. We didn’t join our c

I wasn’t sure if there were truly no other seats available, or if he deliberately placed my ex-husband right in front of me.I felt someone sit down across from me. Not to assume, but it felt like he was staring at me. I was slightly hunched over, fiddling with my phone.I smiled when I read Zanyca’s message:“Mommy, grandfather taught me how to catch a fish. I’m so happy ‘cause I caught a big one—they called it tilapia! And grandfather caught some crabs too. It’s so scary, my gosh!”I could already imagine her face while telling the story.Suddenly, the room went quiet. I felt like everyone was looking in my direction. I frowned and looked up at Virgilio, raising an eyebrow.He was grinning from ear to ear. The couple looked like they were about to faint from excitement, and I had no
