The Marriage Contract Chapter 28
I sat in the visitor's chair and turned my head away from Keandrick's eyes so he wouldn't see my flushed face. He had been staring at me for so long that I was about to get up and leave his office to calm down because I felt like I couldn't breathe. a stranger who appears to be his age. I lost my desire to leave the room.“Good day, dear friend!" A man uttered.“Whoa! All I wanted to do was hug you, dude. You must have missed your friend." The man, who was still grinning, questioned Keandrick. Everywhere he goes, this guy brings his own sunshine with him.From my vantage point, this person appears to be close friends with Keandrick. He really does exude positive energy from the moment he walks into the room. He even wanted to hug my boss, but my boss kept putting himself between them.Although Keandrick's response was emotionless, his male companion appeared unconcerned, as if he was accustomed to my boss' tolerant demeanor.Keandrick's emotionless response causes me to almost snort;
The Marriage Contract Chapter 29
THE WORD marriage was a big word for me. If ever you’ll enter into the sacrament of marriage, you must be ready for the lifetime commitment because marriage wasn’t just a stage of life where you wanted to marry someone at first then if you get tired, you’ll leave him or her. In the stage of marriage, there was no room for playing. People weren’t playing at this stage. Before two people enter this stage, you two must be very sure that you love each other and that both are willing to enter into a lifetime commitment. Being married to someone was the starting point where you will be building a family with your partner. Before you marry someone, ask yourself first, “Am I ready to commit?” Because as I said, this is the stage of our lives where there’s no turning back. Some people were getting divorced from their partners because, in the first place, they weren’t truly ready for the commitment, that they think married life was easy but it wasn’t. I said to myself that if ever I finally g

I’M PRETTY sure that Keandrick would find a way of getting out of the mess that I brought. I think I am bad luck here because ever since I entered the picture, I brought a mess to him. Yeah, what luck. After the confirmation of that fucking real marriage certificate by Darwin, my mind was like wandering in another universe, still processing these unending weird happenings around me. While Keandrick on the other side, immediately called someone on the phone I assumed that he was going to file an annulment of this so-called marriage thing I’ll be thanking him for that but that will be after if we get successfully annulled. Darwin teases his friend before we took separate paths to get to our supposed work. Well, it was just Darwin who left since he has a lot of work to do on his list. Keandrick must be grateful for having a friend like him who could spend a little of his time helping his friend’s problem. “See you around some other time, Audrey! I’ll update you two if there’s any prog
The Marriage Contract Chapter 31
TODAY IS ANOTHER day to spend in the Saavedra company. I’m still sleepy but I need to go to the company. I just couldn’t take an absence because I need to sleep because I am a fucking secretary of Keandrick Saavedra.Ugh, I really hate this!I lazily got up from my bed and went straight into the bathroom to get ready. I wear a black skirt that’s above the knee a sky blue long sleeve. I really love it when my outfit is like this because I look like a professional with this kind of outfit on. I put a light makeup and I’m done.“Oh, you’re already going?” I get one sandwich from the plate that I assume Bella prepared for breakfast before I nodded my head to her.“I’m in a hurry. I think I’m already late,” I lazily responded and get the mug of coffee she was holding and took a sip from it. For being together for God knows how many years already with Bella, we no longer care sometimes if we used the same spoon together or take a sip of coffee from one’s mug. Yeah, we have nothing to hide f
The Marriage Contract Chapter 32
The whole meeting just went smoothly and I was just beside Keandrick, taking down notes on the important matters. And when we finished, the two guys shake their hands to close the deal. I stand up when the two guys both stand up.I guess the businessman here is his business partner and they just made another deal. Fucking millionaires."Thank you for your cooperation," Keandrick said as they shake hands.The businessman was I think just around his 30s already. Not bad though. He looks dashing in his coat. Looks mature enough."It was an honor to work with Saavedra Inc.," said the other party. The businessman then look at me and smiled which I returned and give him a slight bow to show respect.Keandrick and I went back to his office and I was just behind him, following him. I took a glance at my wristwatch while walking and saw that it was already noon. Lunchtime. Time flies so fast when you are busy doing something. I even heard my tummy growling, telling me that I need to eat and th

I CAME BACK to Keandrick’s office and saw that Darwin was still there. They were talking about something that I didn’t know about so I didn’t mind them and just put them on the table near the couch where Darwin was sitting.“There you go,” I said as I put the plastics on the table. “I didn’t know what food you guys will like for your lunch so I just grab the food I think you’ll like eating for today. I couldn’t call any of you two because I don’t have your contact number,” I explained and that’s the truth.“That’s okay, Audrey. I think this fried chicken is the best. I didn’t take any breakfast and I am super hungry right now.” I chuckled at Darwin’s statement before he quickly dig in.That made sense. Looking at him right now, keeping himself busy with the food, I could say that he is indeed hungry and I think that he was more hungry than me though. I gave Keandrick the food that I bought for him but he just stares at the food on his table like it was the most disgusting dish right n
The Marriage Contract Chapter 34
ANOTHER LESSON I learned in life, is that when you are mad, you should avoid talking because you might burst out. By bursting out your frustrations, you can also hurt someone. And when you hurt someone, it is too late to ever turn back time again.I gulp hard when Keandrick takes another step and my feet seem like they have their own lives and that they took a step backward. One more step backward and I felt something cold against my back. And when I glance at my right side, that’s when I thought that I had nowhere to go. I felt the cold wall against my back and I don’t know what to say. I just burst out with my frustrations due to fatigue from my boss! And he’s not just an ordinary boss. He is Keandrick Saavedra!What am I thinking?!I just shouted at Keandrick Saavedra!Panic started to register in my system at the thought that he might not sign my clearance for my finals. This job will serve as my final exam! My performance here would be my grades! What if he’ll fail me?! Oh god, I
The Marriage Contract Chapter 35
After what happened yesterday at the restaurant, I still don't know how I will be able to face Mr. Saavedra. I mean, I just shouted my frustrations to him yesterday! Now, even though he said that he's not mad, I still feel nervous. Like... What if he just said that and surprised me today that I'm already fired, right? That's possible because I've read that in some books.The thought that he would tell me later that I was fire, made my heart beat faster than normal. I facepalm in my recklessness. You're so dead, Audrey. So dead...If not for my college diploma, I wouldn't be worried this much because I could still find a job. But god, this is for my college diploma that's why I am this nervous as hell!Lord, am I gonna repeat my last semester in my last year of college? I don't have any savings if in case I'll repeat the semester.I have already called all the saints I could call to spare me the trouble I created. I noticed that as the graduation was nearly approaching, all the bad luc
