Contract And Marriage

Chapter 7



Sarina

That idiot! Here I am at an empty table in the coffee shop where I bought the coffee for Maximus and watching him and the bitch named Midori talk. I can see her wiping her eyes so hard that anyone would think she was being aggrieved when I couldn’t see a single drop of her tears. She must have thought she could fool Maximus because he couldn’t see her.

It so happens that Midori is also the same woman who left him after he went back from the States blind and confined to his wheelchair. She’s Maximus’ ex-girlfriend, who quickly broke up when she discovered his condition. I guess she thought my husband would never be able to see or walk again, so she quickly ran away as fast as four o’clock. Charot! I don’t know their past, and I have no idea.

Maybe she wasn’t happy that Maximus couldn’t satisfy her anymore, so she left the man. If only she had known how sex addict he was, even in his condition, she probably wouldn’t have left.

I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I stood up and approached them. “Aren’t you done yet?” I asked, annoyed.

“I’m sorry, Love. It’s okay; we’re done talking,” said Maximus as he moved his wheelchair back. I quickly positioned myself behind it and started pushing.

“What? No, we’re not done talking yet, babe.” Midoriu said, stopping us.

“Oh, then talk by yourself,” I told her. How dare she, so thick-skinned, keep calling him babe when Maximus has already called me Love?

“What did you say?” the bitch whined at me.

“If you didn’t get it, that’s all you. What is it, Max? Are you done talking, or will I just leave you here and let your assistant drive you home?” I asked my husband impatiently because I would leave him with this woman if he wanted to.

“Come on, babe. Let’s talk; let’s not end like this.”

“I’m married, Midori. There’s nothing I can do about it.”

“You can, why don’t you annul your marriage?” What the? Can I just slap her about 20 times?

“My wife is here. Why are you saying things like that?” Maximus said angrily, which made me happy. At least, even though he’s crazy, he still remembers who I am in his life.

“I thought you loved me?” Midori said pitifully that her tears ran down her cheeks.

“Yes,” said the idiot, making me turn my head at him and glare. I suddenly feel like poking his eyes so he will never have a chance to see again. “But I am married and intend to keep it,” he added.

“No, please. Don’t let yourself suffer by continuously living with this bitch. She doesn’t deserve you.”

“Excuse me? And who deserves him, you?” I exclaimed. You crazy bitch! “Did you forget what you did after discovering his condition? You ran away!” I added. I am not letting myself be belittled by someone like her. “And I am not a bitch, maybe you are!”

Midori’s eyes widened, the same with her nose. I guess she didn’t think I knew what she did.

“I have my reasons, babe. I didn’t want to leave you at that time. Why do you think I’m here if I don’t love you?”

“Because you saw him in the hospital and wondered why he was there. Then you found out that he’s going to undergo surgery, so you’re here, acting pitiful.”

“That’s not true, babe. I accidentally saw you earlier, so I tried to talk to you,” Oh yeah? Is she thinking that I will believe that? Is she going to stand by her lie? Maximus is already blind, and she still wants him to look foolish. Does she think Aries didn’t see her? I shook my head in annoyance.

“Let’s go, Sarina,” said Maximus suddenly. Did he just call me Sarina now? Where? Where is his endearment, Love? “We’ll go ahead, Midori.”

I pushed his wheelchair, but before I walked completely, I looked at Midori and stuck out my tongue. I quickly took Maximus out of the coffee shop before he changed his mind. Oh, ha, I’m not a saint to let him cross the fence on my watch.

Our marriage continued, as well as my husband’s treatment, and the doctor saw an improvement in his therapy. Even I am happy with what I see because he can stand alone. The only thing I’m not happy about is the constant presence of the bitch. It doesn’t seem like she will stop, even though Maximus always says she can’t stay.

That’s based on what I hear whenever I hear them talk. I don’t know. Maybe it’s because my crazy husband knows I’m just around; that’s why he says that, but when I’m not there, maybe they are still working on doing some miracles.

As the days went by, I could tell Maximus was amazing. Even though I know the reason for our agreement and the exchange of the money he gave me, he still does not force me to take what he should. Yes, we make out. But that’s all. He only fingered me and nothing else.

He is also very thoughtful, considerate, and sweet to me. Sometimes I can’t believe that he is like that. And all those qualities that I began to see in him were being clouded by the bitch who keeps on appearing during his therapy, just like now.

“What are you doing here?” I asked. It’s annoying because she always attends to Maximus first.

“I’m taking care of my boyfriend,” she replied, unbothered. Thick-skinned, isn’t she?

“Who happens to be my HUSBAND?” I said the same. I emphasized the last word to put her in her place.

“He’s my boyfriend, and we’re engaged; you destroyed our relationship.”

“Are you that crazy and foolish? Am I the one who gets in between you? Should I remind you how you left him when you discovered his condition!”

“Sarina, that’s enough,” I suddenly looked at Maximus because he asked me to stop.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“You didn’t inform me; you wanted her to be here; you should have told me so I wouldn’t have wasted my time accompanying you.”

“That’s not what I meant. I’m just saying that maybe people are looking at you; it’s embarrassing.”

“Am I the one who should be ashamed? I’m your wife while she keeps hanging around you, claiming to be your girlfriend! And that’s okay with you?”

“It’s not what I meant, Sarina,”

“Since I don’t care about you, leaving you alone is better. I can make both of you happy,” I said, then left.

It’s annoying that I’m the one he’s reprimanding when that woman is disrespectful enough to shout in my face that they’re in a relationship. I already look stupid and ridiculous for keeping on telling the bitch that I am his wife!
