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

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 of pity in watching him 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

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

"Mr. President, I didn't know who Calla was in your life. I didn't even know anything about her except for her name and her birthplace. She even insisted I am just one of her life's passersby.""Liar!" President Ric sneered, and his sharp gaze made me hold my breath. "Why did you keep her in your place? Why did you spend so much to look for her? And why did you let her come after you in Hawaii?"A heavy weight ran over my chest when I heard him. Before I could draw out my conclusion, President Ric spelled it out for me."While your wife was asleep, or out on her activities, you were also indulging in pleasure with another woman."Sean's color drained as he looked stunned at the president's revelation."Your woman is a bitch!"The president's stare turned lethal at Sean, its glare pierced into my core, tearing me down. He stood up abruptly, slamming a fist into the table. The glass hissed and crackled; the trace of its broken surface turned into a wi
