31: Forehead Kiss

CHRISTY:Everette wanted me to show me to his people. To introduce me to them? The big question of why on my mind might have been plastered on my face because Everette was looking at me with confusion. But at the same time, my heart fluttered.In my past relationships, none of them wanted me to meet their friends or family. But when it comes to Everette, it seemed like it was easy for him.He was not ashamed of me? Mom never introduced me to our employees. It was only my brother saying it was only the successor that should be given the privilege. So, the people in our company only saw my brother. Some of them knew about me because of my big brother too because he had this picture of us in his office. And now, Everette wanted everyone to know about me even if we got divorced after six months.“What are you planning, Everette?”No. He must be planning something. That was the only thing that I could think of when he said those words. Perhaps he had plans of making me a laughingstock i

32: Cook

CHRISTY:A pair of strong hands snaked around my waist while snuggling in my body.I groaned and out of habit, cuddled that thing or someone. Hmmm. He was so warm that having a blanket was no longer necessary. He smelled so much like Everette as it had the same addicting smell as him. Wait. Everette? Why would I be thinking of Everette? My eyes flashed open and looked at the man whom I was cuddling. It was indeed Everette. His arms snaked around my waist while his head was on my breast.Memories of what happened last night flashed in my memories.I panicked internally and slowly untangled myself under his embrace, careful not to awaken him. I could still not face him like this. It was embarrassing!Glancing at the clock on the wall, I found out it was already noon.Dammit.Did I sleep this late?For the first time, I had the most peaceful sleep without waking now and then. I leaned on the headboard while biting my lower lip. Don't fret, Christy. Just pretend that he did not put

33: That Woman

CHRISTY:I stopped midway in cutting the chicken meat and stared at him with disbelief. Everette never considered thinking it was I who cooked everything. It had to be Secretary Levi. Might as well slap me. “Are you seriously telling me that? Levi? Is your secretary the only one you could think of? Is he the only one capable of cooking for you? You're seriously ruining my mood right now, Everette.”I did not like this day. First, I found out about that woman on his wallpaper. Next, he had to say Secretary Levi was the one who cooked everything. Cooking was the only thing that made me forget my annoyance earlier and why did he have to bring my irritation now?His eyebrows formed a straight line. “Did you order? I told you I don’t eat takeouts. I want them cooked inside the house.”I glared at him.I cut my fingers while peeling potatoes. I burned my hands when I accidentally touched the hot surface of the stove. It was not Secretary Levi who experienced those things! It was me!“S

34: Support

CHRISTY:Everette and I were not talking as we were driving to his company. We were using his car, even if I insisted that I wanted to ride with Happiness. The sense of comfort and security that the car gave me was at the highest level.I felt him constantly glancing at me now and then but pretended that I did not care a bit.I was still mad at him for snapping at me. For making me feel as if I did the greatest sin of all—touching his phone. I admit it was not good to touch someone else's phone, but still…why did he have to be mad?It only showed that he was guilty. “About earlier…” he started while his eyes were glued to the road.I folded my arms in front of my chest. “What happened earlier? I no longer remember.”That should be enough to tell him that I was not in the mood to be talking about it. I was afraid that if he kept on insisting on what happened earlier, I might snap and tell him hurtful things that I might regret earlier.The best thing to do was to keep silent. “You k

35: Alone

CHRISTY:The moment I stepped out of the car, Everette was there to assist me. He offered his hand, which I gladly accepted. He was a complete gentleman all along the way and never failed to assist me.He looked at me with kindness when he felt my cold hand."Don't be nervous. My people are all kind. I already told them that any kind of disrespect towards my wife would never be tolerated."Lies. No one was kind except Poppy, Kelly, and Sebastian.My own mother was not even kind to me so why would they do the opposite? They would only talk behind my back. “I’m not nervous,” I denied. “What made you think that?”“Your hands are like ice.”“I'm only cooled. It does not mean anything, Everette. Mind your own business.”Upon entering the lobby, the security guard was all smiles.“Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Watson.”I returned his greeting while feeling Everette's pat on my hand. My steps faltered when I saw Everette's employees were in line as they waited for us. In front of them was

36: Visit

CHRISTY:Could the ground swallow me whole now rather than answering her answer?What would I say? Dammit. I was expecting that everyone was given a memo on my face to watch out. "Miss?" the woman asked. "Are you lost? I'm sorry but if you don't have an appointment, you cannot meet the CEO." The woman was only doing her job, but a part of me was a little bit annoyed at the outcome of this tour. Right. Would Everette tour me around his company or not?“Ahm…is it really necessary?” I mumbled.“I’m so sorry, Miss but that is one of our protocols. I cannot do anything about that. Mr. Watson might fire me.”“Are you perhaps the other secretary?”“I am Secretary Levi’s secretary, Miss.”Oh. This might be the woman Everette was talking about earlier. The other secretary. Well, it was not my fault that she was not there on the ground floor earlier.“I know Levi. I am his friend.”The beautiful woman scratched her belly. “Secretary Levi doesn't have a friend.” She motioned for the door. “I w

37: Order

CHRISTY:The meeting ended roughly two hours later. As much as I wanted everything to finish in only a minute, we had a lot of things to deal with. The next thing I knew, it was already late. I continued looking at my watch and phone. She had not returned my messages. When we were on Swiped, she always returned my messages, but now, it was rare.“Be safe on your way,” I exclaimed and ended the meeting shaking my business partner’s hands. “My secretary will update you on the progress.”“It was nice having business with you, Mr. Watson.”“You, too,” I retorted and waited until he was out of the restaurant. “It’s my pleasure, Mr. Smith.”I checked my phone again. No replies from Christina. She was not fond of replying. She could have at least replied to me. Was that too much to ask?She was always giving me a headache. She was stubborn. Defiant and won't even submit. I did not need full submission, but it would help if she would listen to me now and then. Her nostrils flared whenever s

38: Everything is Wrong

CHRISTY:I felt Everette’s gaze on me, but I tried to pretend that it did not bother me at all. Little by little, his tears were making me unconscious, and it was too damn hard to pretend that I was not affected at all.“Remember when I said back then that I want to open a coffee shop where customers are also allowed to read whatever books they want while they are waiting for their orders?” Poppy’s eyes brightened as she played with Sebastian’s hands. “Oh, that one? Go for it. What are you waiting for? Bastian and I will always be at your back. We are always one call away, Poppy. Please remember that.”Poppy’s loyalty and friendship had already been tested since time immemorial and she was not the type who would leave me alone. When I ran away from my wedding…when my parents disowned me, she was the one who stood as my family. I chuckled, temporarily forgetting about Everette. “I think I need to plan for that. I still haven’t decided on the location, yet.”“There’s a two-story bui

39: Also

CHRISTY:If Mom meddled, it only meant that she was up to no good. She was brewing with something I did not know at all and that was something I should be wary about.Everette did not know the woman behind that smiling face and I should protect him from Mom. Mom…how do I say it? She was good at dealing with people to the point that she could easily befriend them and when you lowered your guard, that was the time when he would strike.“Your Mom has been constantly texting me. Are you listening to me, kitten?”Everette snapped his fingers in front of my face.He did not know anything so I must pretend that there was nothing to be watched out for. I groaned inwardly. She must be planning something. “What did she say, Everette?” Maybe I will visit the mansion again? To have a chit-chat with Mom.“Nothing much. She was asking about you. If you are well.” Mom would never ask if I was still alive or not. “She also asked about our relationship. If you are taking care of me. If we are not fi

40: Dangerous

CHRISTY:My hand started to get cold. After seeing how Everette’s mom looked at me, and how Clara hated me, it was enough to say I wouldn’t be going to their family dinner. Why would I pretend that I wanted to be there when in fact I did not? I was always not good at faking everything, especially when it comes to people. And I was certain his Mom would only want his child and was only forced to ask me to join because I was Everette’s plus one.“Kitten, Mom, and the rest of my family were already expecting us. The elders wanted to meet you.”Was he certain his Mom was included? I did not think so. “What’s the point of having that dinner?” To fake myself? To put myself on display for their judgments, I asked, stood, and went to look for a rug to clean the table. I put the peelings in the trash while shaking my head. I put up with going with him before because Poppy and Sebastian were there, waiting for us. But this so-called dinner? There was no Poppy. I would only put myself in an a
