"But we can just take an absent just for today, don't you think I'm working too much?" Carden frowned and stood a step back, his head tilting as he tried to convince her wife.They are inside his walk-in closet. When Dalmi told him that they have to go to work instead of cuddling inside her room, he immediately turned it down and never wanted to leave her but the woman was too pushy that he had to go out.He didn't even wear his work attire and just knocked behind her door as she gets ready, but he couldn't convince her."Didn't you say that a leader should be a good role model?" she arched her brow and walked in front of him. She touched his shoulders and checked his polo."But we'll just take an absent this day, it wouldn't be–"

"So gay," he cursed as he once again, strike his head on the steering wheel.He just couldn't accept it. Weeks, months, years have passed ever since he knew about his infertility but every time results will come out, he'd still feel the same pain he could hardly endure.All his teenage years, he played with girls and thought that he was just living his life the way he wanted. It was when he realized that the sperm he was emitting was too low compared to what he knew should come out. There are times when he'd lost his smell, at times he'd have pains on his lower body, and times were he wondered what was wrong with him.He thought he was all healthy until Casimir told him to get himself checked. He was twenty when he confirmed that he was infertile and he couldn't bear a child. But he couldn't accept it, so he tried to cure himself through the things Dr. Osmenia has given him, in hopes of the betterment of his reproduction and his health.Knowing these things, he

Dalmi narrowed her eyes and tilted her head closer to the lady. The purple-haired woman with the pair of hooded eyes and thick eyeliner wore a frown on her face, her arms across her chest."You really are that girl!" Dalmi pointed at her and covered her mouth with her palm, her jaw dropped as she remembered the night where this woman left her alone in that parking lot after an attempt to save her."You...how dare you?!" she yelled and jumped off the high stool to get closer to her.At her side, was Jackie, still holding the shaker as he glanced at the two females in front of him."Uh...Dalmi, do you know who this woman is?" Jackie asked and tilted his head to her.Brooke, the woman with the purple hair eyed him with her sharp orbs the moment he talked to his best friend. He wrinkled his nose. Why would this woman look at me like this when I was just asking? He wondered."She was that woman, Jackie!" she pointed at her again, now, her face turning crimso

Dalmi opened her mouth. The excruciating pain in her chest was too heavy. Pain sheeted through her body as her legs curled towards her stomach. Her weak arms slowly went up to her knees as she struggled to breathe."Carden...planned it all," her voice trembled as her eyes went up to Brooke's face. She had this strange expression in her eyes, very far from the ice-like orbs of hers. Now, it was trained with pity...and regret.Dalmi shook her head and buried her face on her knees as she tried to halt the tears from cascading down her cheeks. In denial of what the woman said, she gasped and convinced herself that she just want to deceive her.There was no way Carden would do such a horrible thing. It was just a bunch of lies meant to hurt her.Carden was not the type of man to go beyond those things...or as what she knew. The man seemed like he doesn't care for her at that time. He almost loathed her because of the things she did to stop the marriage so why would he

"I couldn't believe my father let me marry a monster!"Carden felt like the world loses its balance and it fell above him. He couldn't believe those words came out from her sweet wife.Those pair of ocean orbs turned from being gentle to something which could mirror the umbrage inside her. All of it felt too much for him."D-Dalmi what are you saying? I was just-"The chair's leg interrupted his words as Dalmi stood up and face him. Her bloodshot eyes looked like a mixture of rage and cold, and it was making him more and more depressed."D-do we have a problem? Why are you being like this?" he tried to reach for her hand, making up excuses as though it could stop the fight between them. He couldn't bring himself to admit his wrongdoings, even though he knew telling the truth could end this...and he was afraid that the relationship they just started would come along with it."Did you do it?" Dalmi asked in a shaking voice. In her mind, she was begging fo
