"Did I interrupt something?" says the chairman wearing a stretched smile from ear to ear. He brought a basket of fruits for Serina and placed it on the top of the bedside table.
Vincaster stood up and acted as if nothing awkward had happened between him and his wife. He kissed the back of his grandpa's palm and helped him sit on the edge of Serina's bed. "Does your age make you forget the basic rule of knocking before entering someone else's private space?"
"Stop scolding your grandfather. Hubby, where's your manners?" Serina interrupted and thought it was great timing to act like they were a real couple.
Vincaster was surprised when Serina cut her off and asked about his manner. His upper lip curled a bit in protest, and if it wasn't for the sake of conv
"Yuck!" She stood up and immediately wiped her lips."Yuck?!" He repeated her words, but this time he was questioning her. "You.. argghh! How dare you insult me?" He was holding his temper and tried not to be sensitive as hell. "Do I look like a virus to you?""Yes, you are a virus that will kill me in the future," she replied while getting all her staff and the basket of fruits. Then, she stormed out of the room."What did you say?" he followed her but had to stop when the nurse assigned to process the patient discharge documents asked for his signature.Serina was about to leave when all of a sudden her phone rang. She glanced at Vincaster from a few blocks away from her, who was busy sig
"Take us to this address," says Vincaster while handing over a piece of a business card.The driver kept glancing at them through the rear mirror. "Miss, you seem uncomfortable. Do you really know the guy next to you? Is he harassing or threatening you?" The middle-aged man could not help but meddle when Serina sat on the other end of the passenger's seat to distance herself from Vincaster."Didn't you hear me calling her 'wife'?" says Vincaster with his infamous expressionless face. Despite his nonchalant countenance, his voice had proved his irritation."I have been a taxi driver for two decades, and believe me or not, I often hear weirdos and psychotic people use that excuse.""Do I look like some c
Serina suddenly stood frozen in tears seeing her mother alive. Back then, before she traveled time, her mother died because she saved Savina when the fire broke out from their apartment.“I miss you so much, mom.” She embraced her tighter. "Mom, can you drop the knife first? Hear us out. Anyway, Vincaster, I want you to meet my mom, Samira Alpheus."Her mother is bewildered by Serina’s odd behavior. "Both of you, sit down. We need to talk, and you..." Samira glanced at Savinah. "Go to our room and don't eavesdrop. This matter is for adults only.""But... mom!""No more buts, close the door and go study in our room. Don't come to the living room unless I'm done with these two."Savinah stamped her feet before leaving. Samira placed the knife on top of the coffee table, next to the dilapidated sofa in their sala, only a few steps away from the door. She was starin
"Ouch!" He arched in pain as his back hit the wardrobe when Serina cornered him."Don't ever call me your wife in public. I already told you that I don't like people discovering my weird connection to you," says Serina in a very low voice, just enough for Vincaster to hear it because she's afraid that the people outside the room might catch their conversation."Then, what should I tell the people around us? I can only protect your secret in my jurisdiction, and that is LV's personnel and staff. Keeping your secret from your neighborhood isn't something I can assure.""Are you stupid? Why would you worry about my neighbors? Just don't respond, aren't you the snobbish type, so ignoring people around you is an easy task."
Vincaster is left alone with Savina in the dining area. He was stealing glances at Savina, and the latter noticed it."What? I won't help you, Mr." She glared at Vincaster. "Are you really my sister's husband?" she asked."Yes, we were married for almost three months," he replied.On the next day, after they met at the exclusive bar, he proceeded with the legalization of the paper, but he waited for two months before sending it to Serina. Technically, from the day they signed the paper on the bar, they are already married, and it was almost three months from today's date."You stole my sister from me. She is supposed to live with us once we get out of the financial crisis, but now she has to live
"Just kidding, Let's sleep since we're both busy for tomorrow," says Vincaster while removing his t-shirt after letting go of Serina."H-hey, why are you sleeping half-naked?" she panicked when his broad shoulder and muscular chest revealed before her eyes."It's freaking hot in your house, and I can't sleep without an aircon," he replied while closing his eyes.She turned her back on him and crouched to touch the floor, and a cold moist emitted by the floor kissed the tip of her finger. She stood up and glanced at the empty space next to her husband."The floor is too cold, and even if I use a blanket, I'll probably catch a respiratory illness if I insist on sleeping there," she mumbled after tu
"Are you going to school now, Savi?" "Yes, brother-in-law." Serina massaged her forehead because hearing how her younger sister addressed him so dearly had almost made her scream in irritation. It makes her want to scold Savina. "Do you want me to drop you at your school?" Vincaster asked. "I'm used to walking my way to school since it is only walking distance from our house." "Wait for me. I'll just take a quick shower, then I'll drop you off." "You don't need to do that. It's not your obligation to take care of my sister. I'll drop her off. I'll give you my spare
"Where are you?" says Viscanster while checking the time on his Rolex watch."Why are you asking a question with an obvious answer?" She replied while heading out from the faculty, but Gregory suddenly appeared."Done with all your class; are you going home?""Yep. How about you?""I still have night shift class to teach," Gregory replied."Goodbye then, I'll go ahead,' she replied and completely forgot that Vincaster was on the other line."Hello! Did you just talk with somebody else while I'm still talking to you over the phone?" says Vincaster. He was upset because Serina see
