I woke to bright sunlight shining through the window. I checked the time. Oh my! I would be late for work. I instantly got up from the bed. However, a strong arm suddenly stopped me. That's the only time that I noticed Alexander. He was still lying on the bed.
"Sleep some more." He mumbled with his eyes closed as he wrapped his arms around my waist.
"But it's only Wednesday. We have work."
"Let's not go to work today."
"I can't, I still have some reports to finish," I uttered softly as I tried to get u
The transition went out smoothly. Just like when I got married, everything happened in a snap. I was now working as my husband's secretary. I didn't expect that meeting him unexpectedly that night would transpire into something good like this. It's been a week already since Alex revealed his real identity. But until now, I couldn't believe that the President of the Prime Group of Companies was my husband. Moreover, I couldn't believe that he would treat me more than I deserve. Oh Lord, if it's just a dream, I don't want to wake up anymore. Who would have thought that the known cold-hearted billionaire was in love with someone like me? I used to smile every time I would recall how I first thought that he was some kin
When I checked my post on my social media account, it had twenty reactions and eight comments already. I chuckled as I read the comments one by one. Emily commented, 'How to be you, frienny? You're so lucky! I'm so happy for you!❤' Jane, my high school friend, also commented, 'I'm jealous! Where can I find a man like him?' Karen, my officemate from my previous company, said, 'Hannah, who's that man? Face reveal!' And so on. I was busy replying to the comments on my post when Alexander noticed me giggli
In the blink of an eye, Alex had changed. I didn't comprehend what happened. It seemed that he was not the same Alex that I used to know. And this was the day I dread the most. To wake up to the truth and realize that everything was just nothing but a dream. That night, Alex didn't sleep in our room. I was feeling restless. I couldn't sleep either. I shed tears until my eyes got dry. Confusion washed over me. I asked myself multiple times, what went wrong? What happened? If this was only a nightmare, I wanted to wake up. It was the most emotional distress I have been through in my life. I was so devas
I spent overnight in the office finishing the reports. I didn't even manage to eat. Sigh. The feeling that I was working alone in the office was depressing. I kept on checking my phone. Hoping that Alex would text or call me. Unfortunately, I was hoping for nothing. Funny. I still wished for an impossible thing. Gone were the days that Alex cared for me. He didn't talk to me the whole day. He didn't invite me to eat lunch and didn't even look at me when he left the office. I didn't know what's the matter with him. Was it really that easy for him to put everything aside? My heart was shattered into a million pieces, thinking that Alex
I looked at Alexander with a complicated stare, but he glanced at me stoically. I couldn't read what was on his mind. I couldn't read his emotions either. "I saw you and your woman in the library. Is she your new lover? Is everything between us over? Or perhaps there's really no us? What Alex? Tell me!" I muttered angrily when he didn't respond. My heart rate sped up, afraid to hear his reply. What if he admitted that she's indeed his new lover, that we're really over? "Don't dare to leave because I can find you wherever you go." Alex threatened me. Then, he turned and went out of the room without ans
Alex was still standing in the center of the stage, waiting for the host to introduce his woman. I saw him looking in my direction. My heart skipped a beat. However, he quickly averted his gaze when our eyes met. As the host continued, I held my breath. My heart was pounding wildly in my chest. "I'm honored to announce that Mr. Ricafort would also like to introduce his fiancée." The crowd buzzed. Marga and Karen glanced at me. Fiancée? Did I hear it right? Alex would introduce his fiancée? Wait, maybe he didn't want to shock his people. That's why he would only introduce me as his fiancée, not his wife.
Alexander's POV Thanks to Robert, I didn't have a hard time telling Hannah about my real identity. I had the right moment and perfect opportunity to reveal it to Hannah. Although I didn't plan it that way, destiny led the way. When Hannah told me that she would visit her mom at the hospital, I agreed. Then, I asked two of my bodyguards to follow her secretly. Although I could monitor her location, I still wanted to ensure her safety. I only dismissed the bodyguards when they reported that Hannah was on her way home. However, when I noticed that her location was out of the way to the condo, I alerted my bodyguards and quickly followed where
I sat down beside the bed, gazing at Hannah's beautiful pale face. My heart was starting to waver, but my mind kept on reminding myself that she was the daughter of the persons behind my parents' death. I shouldn't feel this way. She didn't deserve any pity from me. I stood up and went out of the room. However, knowing that Hannah was just a wall away from me, I felt restless. So I decided to go home early that day. As I opened the door, I bumped into Liezel, my former secretary. "Apologies, M-Mr. Ricafort." She apologized. I noticed her face turned crimson.
