Contract And Marriage

Sarina

After that time, he took me, and Maximus became possessive. He always calls and wants me by his side, but I like it. The only annoying thing is that his grandmother is always around with the bitch Midori, who sometimes even deliberately stays in our condo for a long time. Just like today, it’s Sunday, and Maximus and I are in the living room. His grandmother left and said she was just going to see a friend for a while, but she left behind the bitch who was a willing third wheel to me and my husband.

“Babe, I’m thirsty,” said Midori, making me roll my eyes in annoyance. Is she thinking of asking me to get her something to drink? The nerve of this woman if that’s the case. There’s no way I will do that, even if Maximus asks me.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“You have your feet; walk to the kitchen and get your water,” I said while smiling.

“Why would I do that? I am Max’s girlfriend; you’re his nurse!” she exclaimed, which angered me. How dare she tell me that when she knew who I was?

“Well, I am Max’s desirable wife, so get your ass up to get your water because I am not going to do it for you.” Her trick and overacting skills won’t work on me! Excuse me!

“Get your water, Midori.” If Maximus hadn’t said that, I would have punched him. So Midori got up from the couch and went to the kitchen. I was grinning for victory when my cell phone rang, so I quickly picked it up and answered it. “Who’s calling?” my husband quickly asked.

“My mother. Why? Do you want to talk to her?” I asked as well. The way he asked me made me feel like he was thinking that I was cheating on him and the caller was my lover.

“Give it to me,”

“Why do you want to talk to her, and what will you say?” I asked again.

“Is there something wrong with wanting to talk to my mother-in-law?” he asked too.

“She doesn’t know what you are saying, so shut up.” Then I stood up, but he stopped me, so I said, “I’m just going to talk to Mom.”

“Do it here,”

“What if you suddenly talk and my mother hears you? She might get suspicious of why I was with a man.”

“I am not going to talk.” He looked serious, and I had nothing to hide, so I stayed and answered the call.

“Mom,” I said.

“Oh dear, finally you answered!” my dear mother said cheerfully.

“Why? Did something happen? Is it Dad again? Oh my gosh, he’s going to get it from me!” I said continuously.

“Oh dear, not really. Your father is good now and feels sorry about what he did. He was even ashamed because he knew you shouldered everything,” she replied, making me sigh in relief. “I called because I wanted to ask you to come home. You know the feast day will be this weekend, and we haven’t seen you for a year.”

“You sounded like you miss me, Mom.”

“You’re weird; how can you say that? Of course, I missed you! Every mother would feel the same when they didn’t see their children, especially their daughters, who were away and living alone.” I feel happy that she misses me. I’m the kind of sweet daughter who would always want to be with my family. It’s just that because of what happened to me and Jason, I decided to leave the province and work here in Manila.

“I’ll try, Mom. I’ll ask permission from my boss first.” I can’t say yes right away even though I want to go home because I know Maximus needs me. As I said that, Midori returned with a glass of water in her hand, smiling wickedly, so I made a face again. She’s the reason why I’m hesitant to leave my husband alone. What if she and Grandma came here while I was away?

“Okay, dear. We’ll wait for you. Be careful there. Bye.” After saying goodbye, I ended the call and put my cell phone in my pocket. Midori is here, so I really have to be careful. What if she does things like the ones I’ve seen in telenovelas by female villains?

“What did she say?” asked Maximus. I looked at him before rolling my eyes because his ear was already on mine while I was talking to my mother. He was literally listening to my conversation with Mom, and yet he was still asking questions.

“Seriously, do you want me to repeat what you’ve heard?” I asked, too.

“Yes, for sure.”

“Never!” I snorted at him before I got up and went to our bedroom. I don’t care about him and his mongoloid ex-girlfriend, who has skin as thick as the bottom of my mom’s pot in the province. And I don’t care if they talk to each other or do whatever they want.

“Hey, stay here!” he shouted, but I didn’t listen. It’s up to him if he lets that bitch to take advantage of him.

After I entered our bedroom, I thought about what had happened in the past few weeks. I have been happy even though Midori and Grandma are always present to ruin my day. It’s because Maximus seemed different. He’s still a pervert, but I could see his sweetness. I don’t feel bad for his possessiveness. I mean, I don’t feel like I’m being suffocated or choking in our relationship. It even makes me feel beautiful, so it’s fine.

His eye surgery is scheduled for next week, and I have to admit that I’m excited and a little nervous. He’s very handsome, and I was worried about him seeing me and finding out I’m just ordinary. Argh! Why should I think about it? It’s not like I was the one who forced him into this marriage. It’s up to him; I just accepted his offer.

“Sarina!” I was surprised as I sat on the bed when Maximus suddenly spoke, and at the same time, the door to our room burst open.

“You startled me!” I exclaimed, holding my chest. What is he doing here? Where is Midori?

“Why are you surprised? Did you do something bad?” he asked. Why does he always seem suspicious? He’s making me feel guilty even though I know I’m not doing anything.

“We’re together all day. Did you ever feel that I did something?” I asked, getting up from the bed to help him get in so he wouldn’t get hurt, blame me for it, and eventually get mad at me, thinking I didn’t care about him.

What I like about him is that his condition didn’t hinder him from walking around the condo. He was acting normally, which made me wonder whether he was really blind. But because of his scheduled surgery, I shake that thought off of my head. There’s no reason for him to fake his condition or lie about it.

“Why were you surprised?” he asked as he sat on the bed.

“Because I was thinking.”

“Of what?”

“Whether I go home or not.”

“Why are you thinking about it so much?”

“When I leave, how about you?”

“What about me?”

“How about you when Lisa went home in the afternoon? There won’t be anyone here to help you out.”

“Grandma would be here,” he said, making me suddenly look at him. Does that mean he’s letting me visit my family? Wait, if his grandmother would be here, then that bitch is going to be here as well. What if she crawls on Maximus while he sleeps?

“As well as your ex-girlfriend?” I asked, raising a brow. At least he couldn’t see on my face that I didn’t like the idea.

“Don’t get jealous because you are already my wife,” he said, grinning. I shook my head and didn’t bother to deny it anymore. I knew that he would never believe it because he would only believe what he wanted to believe. Another thing is, I actually feel bothered about that bitch’s presence. “You can go, but make sure to be here on the day of my surgery. I want you to be the first person I see when the doctor tells me to open my eyes.”

I couldn’t believe what he said, but I felt happy and satisfied. Our marriage is not normal, and I didn’t expect to be the first person he wanted to see when he regained his sight. “Why didn’t you answer, Sarina?”

“Yes, I will. Thank you very much,” I just said. I guess I need to see my family to motivate me. All my eyes were feasting with was, his dick, which only made me feel like I was a pervert as well.

Thankfully, my husband let me visit my family. I admit I already feel satisfied with our marriage, and I hope we will be a good couple. I want to work things out with Maximus and be content with my married life. You’ll never know; Maximus might not want to divorce me after our contract ends.

Everything seemed pretty good, and I thought everything would be okay. However, I was not prepared for Jason’s insistence on his feelings for me and our getting back together after my contract with Maximus ended.
