Honey
Serene’s POV
Arghhh, how can he do that and why didn’t I do anything about it? Alex, he’s making me lose my cool and control. I was never like this. He had violated me and my body just now. And he was naked!! Wait, did he think that I was going to follow him there, so he took off all his clothes? Why did he have to remove his briefs if he was only changing his clothes? And my butt cheeks, I think I can still feel his fingers pinching them.
What had happened to us was unexpected. Although I wanted to thank him for stopping because if it was me, there was no way that I was going to do that. I wanted him and feeling his hardness poking at my belly did not help at all. It made me want him even more.
Our intimacy is getting further and further as we continue doing it. Did mom feel that way towards Lorenzo as well, which led her to what she had become? I didn’t want to end up like her, I should try to hold and control myself when it comes to Alex. He is my husband and I believed he was far from Lorenzo but I still shouldn’t let my guard down.
I went down and looked for the maid that was carrying the plants. I will just help her with that. I don’t mind doing all this kind of work, I was doing it in our mansion as well and it serves as one of my training too. “Is there anything else that you need to do?” I asked the maid and she looked at me, confused. “You said, Alex asked you to clean.” I added to remind her about what she had told me earlier.
“Yes, Ma’am. But why do you need to ask if there’s still something to do?”
“I will help you out,” I replied.
“What!!” she exclaimed and I wondered why, “You don’t need to help me. I can do it myself.” she said.
“Are you sure?” I asked her again.
“Yes, ma’am. I am almost done as well,” she replied.
“Okay, if you say so. Just tell me if you need any help,” I said, and left her with what she was doing. Maybe she was just not comfortable with me around her. I walked out of the mansion and went to the garden. We have something like this in my grandparents’ house in Portico, and I want to stay there whenever I want to think about something. The maid who wanted a certain woman for Alex left the mansion. According to my husband, she returned to his parent’s house.
“You’re here.” Alex said and I was about to look at him but he hugged me from behind and kissed me on my cheeks.
“You are really making that your habit.” I told him, raising my brows at him. He chuckled and sat beside me.
“What’s wrong with that? You are my wife. Isn’t it inappropriate to make that a habit to another woman?” he asked, and I rolled my eyes at him. He knew exactly what I meant but he had this habit of acting ignorant as well.
“Yes, Sir?” the other maid asked as soon as she approached us.
“What do you want to eat?” he asked me and then I looked at the maid, so he called her for our food.
“You know that we can just get ourselves food if we want to eat,” I told him and he looked at me. Then he laughed at me.
“Tell me, what do you want to eat,” he asked.
“Burger, fries and coke,” I replied, and he looked at the maid.
“I will ask the kitchen,” she replied, and left us. I followed her with my gaze and then I looked at Alex.
“You have those here?” I asked and he nodded.
“I like it as well. My favorite if you ask me,” he said, grinning. “While we are waiting for our snack, care to tell me what has happened? I really didn’t know the full details. Atty. Lawrence just told me that you’ve won and filed a case against them for compensation.” he added. I think he was really curious, so I told him.
“They were just plain stupid. They even forgot to check on their CCTV and the one that they put up near my room is the one that sold them out.” I told him, he was looking at me waiting for more. I sighed and continued.
“Mavie had her blood ready as prop and her mom was watching the entire scene but she testified that she arrived late and Mavie was already hurt when she saw us. And the rest is history.” I told him to satisfy his curiosity.
“How do you plan to get compensated?” he asked and I thought about it.
“Well, because the board has been wanting to scare me off in the company, I think their little share will be enough.” I replied.
“You can get more than that if you want to,” he said, and then I looked at him.
“That will be too easy for them. I want them to feel how I feel when they throw me out of my mother’s house. I already laid out a plan and I intend to follow it.” I informed him. I don’t care if he will think that I am bad as long as I do what I want to do with those people.
“You should have done that even before. What took you so long to take action?” he asked.
“I want them to totally enjoy what they have so they will feel worse when they lose it. Another thing is my mom’s last will. I don’t know why she had to include my marriage there. Did she actually think that I was going to marry someone like her husband? I am not blind even when it comes to love,” I replied.
“So what do you think about me?”
“What about you?” I asked as well.
“Well, you said that you’re not blind, are you not blinded by my looks?”
“I was blinded by the inheritance I was going to get when I married you.” I replied, rolling my eyes at him and he laughed.
“I was blinded by the company as well, but when I kissed you, I am addicted to it now.” he said, then gave me a wink.
“You like teasing me?”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yeah, I like kissing you.”
“Funny,” I told him, and our snack came and we started eating.
“What do you want me to call you?” he asked. He looked serious, so I was confused. “Like babe, sweetheart or darling?” he asked again and I almost blew the coke on his face, but I managed to hold it, which made me choke. He laughed and he looked amused.
“Is it your first time being called that way? For me, call me babe. I like the sound of it,” he said, and he was serious again.
“Are you not going to stop teasing me?” I asked him instead.
“What’s wrong with asking you to call me babe? I am your husband and I want you to call me with endearment.” he replied.
“No, I am not going to call you that.” I replied and continued eating.
“What’s wrong with babe, Loraine calls me that even if she is not my girlfriend,” he said, and I glared at him.
“You want me to call you something other women used to call you? Are you crazy?”
“Yeah, crazy for you.” he replied and laughed. Is he serious? I am the mafia leader of Portico and he was teasing me like this? If grandma and grandpa found out about this, I was sure that they would be teasing me as well. I shouldn’t let them meet him.
“Babe,” he said, and then I glared at him, “Fine, Honey,” he said, and then I glared at him again, “No one calls me honey. It was especially for you,” he replied, and then kissed me again. He is always like that, kissing me the least I expected. That’s why I can never win against him. What am I going to do to this man? How am I going to leave him if I think I am going to miss him? Shit! I shouldn’t feel this way, this is shocking.
And he decided to call me “Honey”, which was not one of the choices.
