"Good morning," Dannie greeted me as he entered my room.He has been so sweet to me for several days now, and I think I'm getting used to it. We have been together in this house for a week already.Dannie didn't allow me to go to work ever since I had a close call with a miscarriage, and he hasn't been going to work either. He takes care of me and the baby, making me feel like we're a real family. I smiled at the thought."You're going crazy again, smiling all by yourself," Dannie said.I ignored him and got up to wash my face and brush my teeth. When I finished, Dannie was no longer in my room, so I decided to go out.I took the elevator downstairs because Dannie prohibited me from using the stairs, fearing that I might slip or get tired from going up to our room.As I reached the ground floor, the housemaids greeted me with a good morning, and I greeted them back. I looked for Dannie and found him in the garden, focused on his laptop.When he saw me, he stopped what he was doing, ap

DANNIE'S POV I am outside my house, inside my car, but I am unsure if I should go in or not. It was already one morning when I got home from Honey's condo, my childhood friend. Honey called me when we were in the elevator with Anastasia, telling me she was already in the Philippines. I have waited for her for a long time because I told myself before she left that when she comes back, I will confess my feelings and court her. But how can I do that when Anastasia, my wife, and our unborn child are already with me? When I saw Honey earlier, I felt mixed emotions. I was happy because she was here again, the woman I have loved since we were kids, but at the same time, I felt guilty because I can't tell her how I feel because I am married to Anastasia and we were about to have a child. I tried to assess myself. "What's wrong with you, Dannie? The baby is just the reason why you got married and live with Anastasia. After the baby's born, you're getting a divorce," I talked to myself. I wi

DANNIE’S POV It's been a week since I last spoke to and saw Honey. I call her, but she doesn't answer. I go to her condo, but I don't have the courage to press her doorbell. I feel ashamed of what I did to her. I don't know what to say when I see her."Sir Dannie, your food is ready," Manang says. I'm in the pool area because Anastasia is hanging out in the garden. She's also ignoring me, but I haven't done anything wrong to her. I ignore her too, as she's always been like that lately."I'll follow you, Manang," I say and glance at my phone before pocketing it. I get up and walk towards the kitchen, where Anastasia is already sitting. She's far away from me again. Is she angry with me or sulking? I just ignore her. She's always been like that lately.I'm just putting my food when Anastasia finishes hers and wipes her mouth. She stands up and walks away. I look at her food, and only a little has been eaten. I follow her gaze until I can't see her anymore."Manang, what's her problem?"

"I'm begging you, Dannie, please let me go back to work," I pleaded with Dannie.He just shook his head in response.I've been trying to convince him to let me go back to work for a while now, but he just won't budge.I glared at him and stormed off to the far side of our bed, plopping down with a huff."Anastasia, look at the baby!" he exclaimed in surprise.I ignored him, but inside I felt guilty for not being more careful."Please be more careful, Anastasia, don't let your anger get the best of you, think about the baby," he calmly advised me.I could feel my eyes starting to water, so I decided to leave our room and head to our living room upstairs.That's where I cried my heart out. I felt even more guilty after Dannie's last words.I could feel someone hug me from behind and say, "Sssshhhh stop crying," in a gentle voice."I just want to go back to work, I'm getting bored being stuck here in your house," I said through my tears."You know that I only care about your safety, righ

I am sitting here in an unfamiliar restaurant near my workplace while waiting for my mom. I escaped from work just to see her because I really miss her. She just called the store near our house to meet me there. Even her cell phone is not allowed to be held by my dad.I am not sure if I should tell her about what I did to Dannie. I have been working for a month now in my husband's company and because some people in the office know that I am Dannie's wife, my job has become easier. Dannie wants me to work on his floor or become his secretary so he can always be with me and see me. But I don't want that, I don't want his secretary to lose her job. Besides, I am already used to my job.He didn't agree with my decision, but he couldn't do anything about it because he always follows what I want. Oh, isn't it funny that the CEO who everyone is afraid of is following me because of our baby?I shook my head thinking whether the baby is really the only reason he is treating me like this. I als
