Chapter 12
Sarina
I went to Maximus’ room after Jason and I talked and found out that the two witches were gone. Where did they go? “You’re done?” I asked my husband who was sitting in his wheelchair, holding his cell phone, looking like he was waiting for someone. I noticed that he was in a bad mood. Why? It wasn’t because of what I said and did earlier, right?
“Where have you been?” he asked, and I couldn’t figure out why he seemed different from me.
“Just outside. I said I won’t go home, didn’t I?” I answered before asking, “Where are they?”
“If you’re just outside, why don’t you know where they are?”
“I wasn’t informed I needed to look after them too.”
“You’re looking for them, aren’t you? You said you were just outside; you shouldn’t have known they had already left,” he replied angrily.
“Are you angry because of what happened earlier?” I asked but didn’t receive a reply. Instead,
“Let’s go home, Sarina,” he said before he got up. Now that he could actually walk, he looked different. His stance was very confident. If he weren’t blind, he would probably be very intimidating.
I used to push his wheelchair before. But now that he can walk by himself, he still needs me. He’s still blind, so he still needs my support. And he might go somewhere else if I let him walk by himself. I was about to hold him back, but he beat me to it.
He groped my arm, slid his hand down to mine, and intertwined our fingers before we started walking out of the room. The car was in the basement parking lot, so we went straight to the elevator.
I also didn’t expect Jason to be there; I was about to press the basement parking button when he stopped the elevator from closing. He got in, looking at us and then at our intertwined hands. “You have eaten already, right?” my husband asked in a different tone. He sounded sweet while his thumb gently rubbed my hand he was holding.
“Y-yeah,” why am I nervous? I know Jason and told him I’m already married, so we can’t be together anymore. I even told him about my contract with Maximus, but I changed it slightly. I don’t want him to know that for 10 million, I agreed to let Maximus use my body.
“What did you eat?” he asked. Why is it still asking? “Ah, I’ll just guess.” Then he suddenly brought me in front of him and touched my chin before kissing me. I was about to get away from him, but his grip was tight. Why did he suddenly kiss me? I accidentally looked at Jason and saw the surprise and pain in his eyes.
I felt Maximus’ tongue enter my mouth while sucking my tongue. I don’t know how long it was until I felt him stop. “Hmm.. You had coffee,” he said.
The elevator rang, so I looked at the door and found out we were in the basement. I quickly guided Maximus out while I couldn’t look at Jason, who was walking behind us. The driver greeted us and opened the car door, but he let me go first instead of going in like before.
“You go first,” I said. Then I looked at Jason, who was also getting into the red Pajero we both chose when he bought it. It wasn’t there when we arrived, so I didn’t expect our cars to be nearby.
“I know what I’m doing, Sarina.” I was shocked by what Maximus said, so I followed him to prevent any more arguments. He didn’t go in right away; he just stood for a few seconds before finally getting in. At the same time, I saw the Pajero leave. The driver turned to the driver’s seat and started driving.
While on the way, Jason was on my mind, including the words he said. He was willing to wait until the end of my contract, which I don’t know if I’ll be happy with or what. What am I going to do? Then I remember our conversation;
“I’m ready to wait, Love. You are the only woman I love. I’m only happy when I’m with you.”
“You don’t understand; I left you because of another woman I saw with you. I’m already married, so how can you accept me despite my current situation?”
“Because I love you, and it’s my fault that we broke up. I was not careful and let Abigail do that to our relationship, so I am not taking it against you. Please, Love, promise me that after your contract ends, you will return to me. I will wait for you, and I hope you don’t stop me from seeing you at least.”
I was confused because I didn’t want to be a bad woman. And with what he said, I might turn out to be if I didn’t stop him from waiting. I don’t want to push him into something I’m unsure about.
“What are you thinking?” I was startled by Maximus’ sudden question, and at the same time, he tightened his grip on my hand.
“Nothing; besides, it hurts me. You’re holding me so tight.” It was as if he had lost his temper and quickly let go of me.
“What are you thinking?”
“Nothing!” I said, feeling annoyed.
“You just feel like not talking and acting something you’re not, and you’re telling me it’s nothing?”
“Well, no. It’s because I was thinking that when we get home, your grandmother and that bitch will be there again.”
“You sounded like a jealous wife.”
“I am not jealous!” I exclaimed.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yeah, I know.” I looked at him suddenly, but he looked outside as if he could see. I just shook my head because I’ve noticed how he seems to be used to being blind when he’s been in the dark for seven months, I think.
We got to the condo, and I was thankful the two witches weren’t there. “I want to go into our bedroom,” Maximus said. I brought him there and made him sit on his bed. I was just surprised when he suddenly pulled me, which caused me to lean against him.
“I’m claiming what I bought, now.” My eyes widened, and before I could get up from his lap, he was already kissing me. “Respond, Sarina. We had a deal,” he said emphatically, so I just followed him and kissed him back, just like I always do whenever we make out. I could feel his wantonness mixed with anger every time he touched my small breasts. So, he wants to claim me now, huh?
