But I still stopped the painting and got really worried when afternoon came. I tried to call my mom and dad, but both of their phones were turned off. I just decided to call her Miss Nenita."Miss Sage, is there any problem?"I swallowed the lump of wanting to rant and express my anger. Instead, I tried to calm down and just forget about Delton and Ashley for a while."Uhm. How's my mommy? I wanted to pay a visit, but Attorney Carancho was still busy. I don't have any other drivers here aside from him. " I pouted even though she could not see that.Honestly, I want to go back to my room in the mansion. I can see Andres just by peeking through the window curtain. But now? I can't even see him on social media."Your parents are still busy. But they might visit you there, Miss Sage. One more thing: you're a married woman now, and you should get used to it. And if you don't like the attorney, then you can give him to me." She even giggled after speaking.I chuckled lowly when Delton and M
That night, I let him sleep right next to me. closed enough to feel each other's bodies warm. I even let him hug me from the back while on the bed.But maybe it's not all enough. Yes, I could feel his body warm. It warmed mine, but didn't touch my heart or caress my soul. Instead, it made me feel weak, gloomy, unsatisfied, and lonely as it slowly crept inside me.It was strong enough that even if his hug tightened and he tried to make me feel secure, it turned out differently. It felt unsecured and unprotected. He was at peace at night, while I was not.I am just glad that he didn't take advantage of me. He was patient, even if it took me a few more days to finally live my life.I yawned, then stretched my arms. I tied my hair and fixed my racerback sando and leggings. I think I needed to breathe some fresh air to regain my energy and to invite good vibes into the house.I massaged my neck as I headed straight to the house gate and to finally at least walk around the subdivision.I wa
"How dare you, Delton! My virgin neck!"I gave him a death glare before marching and running back home. I swayed my hand when I felt him following me."Savvy, I only got carried away. I didn't intend to suck it that good—""Shut up, Delton! There's nothing good about what you did!"My cheeks heated as I remembered what he did to my neck and how hot it was when he licked it earlier. I wanted to cry again, but instead I ran fast to the room when I reached the house. He was even knocking a lot, but I ignored him.Savvy, open this. I'm going to get new clothes," then he knocked again, but this time it was with force.I rolled my eyes and didn't mind him. I headed straight to the shower room to scrub my neck. I spend a lot of time taking a bath. I think he was gone, and so I just fixed the room and settled my painting tools. I stayed a few more hours inside the room, and was even curious when Delton didn't bother me.I didn't even understand myself why I decided to open the door, only to b
"Uhm. You're griping me too much, Delton," I mumbled as I sensed the tightening of his embrace around my waist.But it seems like he didn't listen to me when he hugged me more tightly. His strong arm is already at the top of my stomach."Why Andres, Savvy?" he said out of breath.I sighed and tried to remove his hug, "Why not Andres, Delton? Who should it be? You told me I could bring whoever I wanted and yet, here you are getting mad at my choice. " I arched my brow a little, though he could not see it.That's when his hold loosened as he lifted his head away from the crook of my neck."Why are you even stopping me from seeing Andres? I am not going to escape—""How sure are you? You are escaping at any given time," he smirked as he looked at me intently. What more if you already have your apprentice? I'm never going to trust that Andres. He will surely bring you to his home to make you his mistress."He stood and caressed his messy hair. Her brows almost met as he gazed at the ticke
I irritatedly closed my eyes. And when I opened my eyes, I lifted them towards him just to be in awe after seeing his dark stare towards Andres. His stares towards him are all in the dark and can be a reason for your death. My lips parted and I felt nervous for Andres. I tried to escape from his arm and wanted so badly to help Andres, but Delton only tightened his hold on my stomach. He placed his chin and mouth near to my ear."Savvy, don't ever look at other men or they will stay in the dark... forever," he said nonchalantly that made my heart covered with coldness.I gulped and focused my gaze towards Andres, but I was stunned when Ashley came and abruptly clung her arms to Andres' arm. She did even kiss him on the cheek without warning.I froze on my feet because of what happened. I hadn't been able to talk to Andres since Ashley pulled him away with her and joined the group of people.My heart clenched and I felt jealous. I have never kissed Andres, not even on his cheek. And wha
"One thousand dollars all in all, Ma'am," the cashier uttered as she smiled widely.I doubt if I should pay for it, but since I hold grudges right now, I think this will make me feel better. I abruptly handed the black card to the cashier. "Just swipe it, Miss." I smirked.She nodded and swiped the card before fixing the paper bags. That's a lot of bags, but I think I can manage to hold most of those.It's a good thing that Delton let me go earlier. I told him that I would only buy milk tea, but since I was still annoyed about the exhibit incident, I headed to the mall and bought what I wanted. I am even thinking of escaping right now, but I know he has eyes on me. He surely didn't allow me to go out, especially if he knew that I wanted to escape. Sure, there are guards around, but they are unnoticeable—or maybe not.And then I saw Mister June in his black cap and Mister Baldo in his white cap, both silently hiding from the side wall.I cleared my throat and simply got the card from
I heard him groan, "I think I need to work hard. I need to double my time and triple the case I'm working on because I forgot that my wife was a princess and couldn't live on two thousand dollars only. Maybe I need to put a lot of people behind bars so I can give you your needs and wants," he uttered absentmindedly before he headed out of the walk-in closet.I pouted, but I don't feel any guilt. I even changed clothes from time to time for the following days so I could try everything that I bought. I haven't seen him that much in the house; he sometimes spends his time in his home office.And I am still pissed as I remember that he brought Ashley to the event and ordered her to cling to Andres. And even if he won't admit it, I knew he was to blame for that matter. Out of annoyance, there have been days that I woke up late. I will only eat, but I won't cook. Aside from that, I am still mad. I also have no idea how to do those chores.And I got so fascinated again by painting that I alm
I guess I am drifting away. I can't even overcome my nervousness about what he said. I called Miss Nenita so I could talk to Andres.I need to leave, to escape as soon as possible. I think this is the best chance, especially since Delton was busy with his law firm. This chance is very rare."What have you thought, Miss Sage? Are you escaping? Tsk! Don't ever do that!" she pleaded.I sighed and closed my eyes tightly."Miss Nenita, I am not escaping. I just want to visit the mansion. I miss Mommy and Daddy so much. I haven't talked to them since I came here," I whispered, as if I was so lonely.It's true that I miss my parents so badly, but I won't be visiting the mansion. Delton will easily catch me there."Please, Miss Nenita. And uhm, can you send me money through any money transfer? ""Miss Sage, that cannot be. Let Attorney Carancho send you here," she pursued.I shook my head and put on the black slingbag and cap. I won't bring any clothes; that would be a hassle."Miss Nenita, i
