"Are you done sulking?"She was even startled by that baritone voice. While her thoughts were preoccupied with Mhariel and Dino, she forgot that she was inside his car.Only then did she notice that they had already passed by the bus terminal a while ago. She turned right away to face him."Why didn't you drop me off at the terminal?" She frowned when she asked that.He didn't say anything; he just sat there and stared at her."Do you even know where to go?" He focused his gaze on the road again.She was silent again."Just as I thought," the man immediately added.She was suddenly irritated once more. It seemed as though she wanted to vent her frustration with Dino and Mhariel on the annoying man sitting next to her."It's none of your business! If you don't bring me back to the terminal, I'll accuse you of kidnapping!"Without even turning to face her again, he simply laughed softly while smirking."Fine! Stop the car, and I'll get off!" The way he responded irritated her even more.
"I have no doubt that many women would be willing to marry you, Mr... S-sean. I don't understand why you're offering it to me. Additionally, I don't see why you had to be married so soon after calling off your wedding to my cousin. Do you wish your wedding to proceed even with another woman because you regret the money you spent on the wedding preparations, if there were any?" She was wondering why he felt the need to use blackmail to force her into giving him her hand in marriage, even though they don't really know each other. Since marriage is a serious commitment, you don't just offer it to anyone. He laughed at what she said. "Do you think I care about the money? I don't have to be concerned about the expenses if I marry numerous ladies at once. Although I'm not bragging, I'm stating a fact. The truth is that if I can always make my own choice, I will never want to be married." She was even more confused by what he said. It turned out he's not interested in getting married. "T
He took her to a restaurant because she declined to go with him to his place. She was hesitant to go into his home once more since she knew it would be awkward for both of them. They will remember a hot night they spent together in that house.She simply ordered juice, but he placed a large order for food, so she had no choice but to eat as well.He asked for paper and a pen after the waiter cleared their table when they were done eating.She was surprised when he handed it to her."You can write the things that you want to be included in our deal on that piece of paper."She took it without saying anything. She noticed also that he had paper and a pen, and he began writing on it.She believed that was good so they could clear both conditions on their marriage contract.She was already busy thinking of things she wanted to put into whatever contract they would have. In less than five minutes, he finished writing, and she stared at him. Just to make sure she didn't miss anything, she r
When Sean permitted her to stay in a pricey hotel, she was unable to protest, even if she wanted to. She shouldn't be concerned about the payment there, he replied, because he owns the motel. When she saw the price for one night at that hotel, he noticed her hesitancy and said that as a result. She would simply stay there, he explained, while he sets up everything needed for them to sign the deal. In addition, he wanted her to prepare the documents for their judge-officiated wedding.He spoke to the hotel manager and then left right away. He left her there. In order to accompany her to her room, the manager herself went up with her. When the management requested that a bellboy deliver her baggage, she objected. She claimed that she could carry it alone.She came to a stop in front of the room with the female manager. When the manager unlocked it and switched on the light, she was nearly taken aback by the room's size and elegance."The most expensive and unique room in the hotel is th
"First, let's eat. I'll then ask you to read our contract.She went to grab something to eat without saying a word. She just realized that crying for most of the day made her very hungry.She ignored the man sitting in front of her. She ate voraciously."Do you know your eating style caught my attention the first night I saw you?"She looked up at him as the spoon she was holding came to a stop mid-air. She observed that his plate was empty at this time. The wine glass was all he had in his hand.Are the wealthy really like this?Before speaking, she chewed what was in her mouth. The things he said only finally sunk in after that.She abruptly formed a serious expression, set the spoon down, and wiped her mouth with a tablecloth."Oh, please... Don't let me stop you. I simply enjoy watching you eat. Most of the women I've dated consistently tend to be picky eaters.When he said it, she didn't even crack a smile."This is not a date, to start with. Second, I believed we wouldn't discus
SEAN'S POVWhen he and Yazmin were just about to eat, he saw Yvette standing on the side. His suspicion was odd because, when a special dinner is being held at his hotel, he doesn't require the manager to be there. The management does not need to be around while they are dining because the waiters are responsible for handling that.He simply returned his focus to the woman in front of her, who was repeatedly taking mouthfuls of food as if he weren't there.As he drank wine from the glass in his hand, he smiled. She was very different from the women he had been dating. When the two of them were together, it was challenging to assess her emotions.She occasionally displayed the traits of a girl who is incapable of breaking a plate but can instantly transform into a tiger. She appeared to be perpetually irritated by him as well.When they shared that night, she was the complete opposite.He gave a headshake. No matter how hard he tried to forget about their steamy night together, it kept
SEAN'S POVHe asked Yazmin to wait in the hotel's lobby. He walked into a little office he keeps for himself when he goes to his hotel.As he waited for Yvette to enter, he appeared formal.Yvette entered the room without any apparent regrets about her prior actions. He remained seated in front of his desk."Miss Santos, that was extremely unprofessional," he said without cracking a smile.She inhaled deeply before looking into his eyes."You left me hanging, Sean, and all of a sudden I see that you're busy with another woman," she said.The woman's response caught him off guard. She sounded like they had a relationship, and he was caught cheating.He paused to let his throat clear."Miss Santos-""Leave the formalities behind. We are the only two here." She interrupted him and sat down on the chair in front of his desk before waiting for him to request her to do so."I waited for your call for a few days, Sean. I made numerous attempts to call you, and I am aware that you were probab
She was instructed by personnel to wait in Sean's office; he even left her at the front door after leading her there. The moment she was going to knock, the door slightly opened. She was ready to go in when she decided against it because it appeared that people were talking inside.When she heard Sean, she turned right away to go outside."Yvette, stop. I don't think I'm the kind of man that needs a woman to change him. I'm not a one-woman man. I'm not the man any woman would want to marry."When she heard it, she blinked. As she again carefully closed the door, she shook her head.She thought at once.Which of the two is worse? This man who just started telling the woman he was flirting with that nothing can be expected of him? Therefore, it was up to the lady to accept the only thing he had to offer and forget her desire for a committed relationship. Or Dino, who gave her hope that he truly loved her and wouldn't be seduced by any other woman but ultimately had an affair with her be
