BMOM ➭ 021ꕤꕤꕤARYM ZCHRYNNE “MaiMai” –“But we can’t be together anymore, Jasper. Not like before.”“B-but why? Is… is there someone else?” His voice trembled. I sighed. I had to lie.“Y-yes. I have a boyfriend now… and I love him.”There was a moment of silence between us. I couldn’t tell if my ears were playing tricks on me or if I really heard him sob.“Jasper…”“It’s okay, hon. I’ll accept being your secret lover. I don’t care. As long as we’re together again.” Jasper pleaded through tears. I couldn’t believe my ex-husband was crying for me—willing to be just a side piece. Was it love that made him lower his pride, or did he have another plan?I didn’t speak. I just listened to his quiet sobs, barely concealed. I felt pity, but I refused to give in. I didn’t know if his intentions were pure.“I can’t promise you my time or attention, Jasper. You can’t demand anything from me. You have no security.”“It’s okay. I understand. Even just a little time with you and little attention—

BMOM ➭ 023ꕤꕤꕤARYM ZCHRYNNE “MaiMai” –Because of Lovebel’s nonstop chatter, I forgot to message my boyfriend—who also happens to be my ex-husband.“Wow, Boy Saliva sent so many messages. Tsk. Doesn’t this guy have anything better to do?” I asked myself.“Hon, call me when you’re not busy. I love you.” His message made me smile. We’re like teenagers who just started dating.“Tsk. It’s only fun at the beginning. Then when you get hurt, you blame every man in the world.” I shot a glare at the bad energy that passed by. He literally walked over to my spot just to throw shade. That guy is such an attention-seeker—Boy snot, for real.I gripped my pen tightly, ready to speak, but Lovebel beat me to it.“True, sir! That’s real talk. Us girls can be a little crazy sometimes. One guy messes up, and suddenly all men are guilty. Hehe.” The guy laughed so loud it probably echoed across the globe. I hope his dentures fall out.They kept joking around like a pair of lunatics. They’re a match—one

BMOM ➭ 025 ꕤ ꕤ ꕤ ARYM ZCHRYNNE “MaiMai” – “Where are we now? I need to go home—I have work tomorrow.” I asked irritably. “We’re at our secret place.” I looked outside and only now noticed we were in a secluded area. It looked like a vacation house. There were lots of trees around, but also Christmas lights strung up everywhere. The surroundings were stunning. We got out of the car, and I saw even more clearly how beautiful the place was. The house was moderately sized, just two floors. It was lovely and felt very airy. Jasper grabbed a few things from the car before guiding me inside. If the outside was beautiful, the inside was just as gorgeous. The ambiance was so relaxing. If you’re looking for peace of mind, this is the perfect hideaway. This was the kind of place I’d dreamed of for years. “Wow, hon, this place is amazing.” I said in awe. I couldn’t help but praise it—it was breathtaking. The fear and anxiety I felt earlier were replaced by peace. That’s t

BMOM ➭ 027ꕤꕤꕤARYM ZCHRYNNE “MaiMai” –“You, easy-to-get woman, you’re going to be late for work! Move faster!” I almost punched myself—look at the time, and I’m only about to shower now.It’s not like I overslept. Actually, I woke up early. But instead of getting ready for work, I got worked. Ugh.Your uncle’s flag ceremony started early, so he begged for “just one round.” His little buddy was like a hotdog fresh out of the freezer. And me? Miss easy-to-get, herself—I spread my legs. That “one round” turned into three. And now, here I am, scrambling.“Hayst! You prioritized lust, now you’re a frantic duck! Spread those legs some more!” I scolded myself. I didn’t let Jasper join me in the bathroom—who knows what kind of shower he’d turn it into.I finished showering quickly. I had new clothes to wear, courtesy of my clingy boyfriend who sent someone to buy them.I rushed out, planning to have coffee and breakfast at the office. Jasper was waiting for me, grinning like he’d just won

BMOM ➭ 029ꕤꕤꕤARYM ZCHRYNNE “MaiMai” –“Oh right, today is the arrival of our big-time client. Why do you think he decided to build an airport here in Romblon?”I asked Sven curiously while he was driving. As usual, we were heading to the office together.“I heard his wife was originally from Romblon but left him. Apparently, she went abroad to hide, and he spent years trying to find her. So he built an airport in Romblon, hoping she’d come back.”“Oh, that’s sad. Is it true?”“That’s just what some of their employees say. Not sure how accurate it is.”“Your gossip radar is weak. That tea’s half-brewed.”“Arym Zchrynne a.k.a. MaiMai, I’m not a gossip, okay? Like I said, it’s just what their employees said—I didn’t ask.”“But you were listening to their conversation. Don’t pretend. Tsk!”Sven just shook his head at me. He refuses to admit he’s a gossip too. At least I don’t deny it—nor do I confirm it. Hehe.We were early, so I freshened up a bit. We were heading straight to the con
