Though Eric succeeded to sow some seeds of doubts regarding Sean's personality, all those just disappeared like bubbles every time I was with my husband. I could never remember any of his flaws because he showered me with utmost care and love. Eric also took his distance from me so I was able to focus on learning my new responsibilities. Dr. Fabella and the rest of the administrative council were so patient with me. And with Sean's full support, I was able to adapt to my new designation faster than I thought I would be.
One busy day, Dr. Fabella encouraged me to take a half-day off. Perhaps he knew that I got so drained already. There were lots of meetings and orientations, and it got me dead tired at the end of the day.
I went to Laminae to surprise Sean. Ever since we returned from Hawaii, I had not visited the company anymore. I hadn't even met my team as the head of the clinic.
"Dr. Red, glad to see you again!" Hazel ran to meet me while I
I remembered that day when Sean looked so disheveled ashe entered my room here in Laminae. When I accepted Sean's offer to lead the team of medical professionals to handle Laminae's clinic for hundreds of workers, he provided me a private room to stay. He could have allocated a bed for me in the doctor's lounge, but he assigned a luxurious spacefor me. I knew at that time that his room was next to mine.I wondered why Sean looked so messy at that time, but when I saw his things in my bedroom, I was emotionally moved. I presumed that Sean was really sincere in inviting me into his life because he decided to share a room with me. He planned everything for both of us. Even the house that I bought from Philip turned out to be a shared complex with him. Now that we are married, he converted the house into a single-detached house even before we returned from Hawaii.This side of him confused me. He made everything possible for us to get closer to each other. I co
I stood frozen by the door after Calla declared her war against me. I watched her enter the door to her office, and I flinched as she slammed it close. I didn't have to let Sean explain why she exited on that door. Aside from the room we shared, and the one that Calla occupied, Sean had another private room in his office, just beside Calla's space.With the way Sean connected our doors in the house, and here in Laminae, I could not keep myself from suspecting that perhaps, on the wall adjacent or parallel to Calla's room, it could also have a door connecting the two rooms from inside. No one would ever suspect that while Sean is inside his office, he could always find time to spend some romantic moments with her.I swallowed hard as the pain crept fully into my heart. It hurt too much that I didn't have the energy to confront him. I walked away and went back to our room, trying to act brave. And since I came here to surprise him with dinner, I set up the table just as
"Doc, I need you in the clinic. Now!" Sean's loud and frightened voice pierced into my ears. I turned my head sideways to look and tell him I didn't need Dr. Mimi. She could treat my signs of mild dehydration but not its cause. However, Sean was white as paper as he stared at me, his eyes as wide as his opened mouth. I just lost the energy to stop him. I panted in exhaustion as my episodes of vomiting drained my strength. Drops of sweat trickled down my temples, and my skin was cold and clammy to my touch. My knees wobbled, and before my vision turned into a complete shade of black, my feet lifted off from the floor. Sean carried me to the clinic. Dr. Mimi personally inserted an IV line in my arm, running a plain Lactated Ringer's solution afterward to replace my fluid and electrolyte loss. I cast her a weak smile without saying anything as I was too tired and emotionally drained to talk. Dr. Mimi did not insist on speaking to me even if she knew that it wasn
We continued our disrupted romance at the clinic. Sean was more gentle this time, and in every inch that his hands and mouth had touched, spoke of his love and care for me. He treated me like fragile porcelain, even as when he slowly entered inside me."Are you sure this won't hurt our baby?" he asked as he moved in and out with care. I knew it must have been so difficult to restrain his urge to pounce harder and faster."Just go ahead. Faster," I whispered, pulling his hips with my two hands. I was so close that I hated his turtle move.Sean chuckled as he gave in, seeing that I was already restless. Yet, as soon as I had my release ahead of him, he pulled out and continued it with his hand. I felt a deep sense ofpity inwatchinghim that I reached out to help until he shivered and rolled his eyes, allowing his sticky fluid to drip into my fingers."Our developing baby is protected by the amniotic fluid in my uterus, as well as by the str
“Good morning!”I glanced towards the voice of a woman coming in our direction. Her smile was bright as the morning sun rays piercing through the glass wall of the restaurant Sean brought me in.“Miss Trixie,” Sean greeted back with a smile as he scrambled to his feet to pull out a chair for her to sit down.“This is too kind of you, Mr. Grey,” she said, throwing me an awkward gaze before she sat down across us.“Miss Trixie, you’re here,” I said, smiling, acknowledging her presence. She was Eric’s most favorite designer, and ironically, Sean’s, too. I just learned about it when we had our gown fitting for that party in the hospital during the Founding Anniversary.Trixie glanced at Sean with a confused expression even if her smile never left her face. I also shifted my gaze between Sean and back to her.“I let her come over so that you can choose a dress for tonight,&rd
We stepped into a large function hall in one of the prestigious hotels that Eric owned. People were already inside, dressed in formal attire. Since I had been into many functions and launching like this in the past with Eric, where I mostly stood as an escort with no real understanding of their business whereabouts, I never asked what kind of event we were attending tonight.Sean and I marched down the red carpet with bright smiles on our faces, numbed to the continuous flashing of the cameras aimed at us. I noticed that most of the people around were the same faces in his business circle; only that tonight, the men had their wives or partners by their sides."What's the event tonight?" I finally asked Sean as I felt amazed at seeing lots of female attendees tonight.Sean pulled a chair for me and motioned for me to sit down before he pulled out another seat next to mine. Once in his seat, Sean pointed the huge, glittering letters on the stage that said. "Thanks
I danced with Sean all night, resting between intervals when he felt I was already exhausted. I saw several pairs of eyes thrown at us, perhaps, waiting for the chance to dance with Sean. Yet, Sean did not leave me as he promised."Mr. Grey, may I have a moment with you, please?" Dr. Fabella approached us while we were on our way to leave.Sean glanced at me, and I nodded. I held high respect for the chairman, so I offered to stay behind and wait for him in the coffee shop. I felt cold, and I wanted a hot drink."Chairman, kindly wait for me in the lobby. I'll accompany my wife first to the coffee shop.""Go ahead." Dr. Fabella gave me a nod and a smile, motioning for us to go ahead.Sean chose a table by the glass wall with a couch as its seat. My eyes lit up to see the soft cushion and pillows. I could no longer wait to slump my body into its comfort. The moment I leaned my head on the backrest, my drowsiness took over, and I didn't know how long
