Book 2:2   "Sean, what are we doing?" I asked as he instructed the driver to run around the parking lot. Sean did not answer me, but his eyes were on the vehicles at the circumventing parking area outside the restaurant. When he saw that Eric's car was still there, he asked the driver to pull over at the space parallel to where Eric had parked. I knew better when to keep my mouth shut, so I just kept quiet while observing him. When Philip emerged from Eric's car, and when he got back to his vehicle, Sean picked up his phone from the stand and dialed Philip's number. "Sir, good noon!" I heard Philip's answer on the other line as Sean set his phone into a loudspeaker mode. "Is everything ready for tonight? We have just arrived from Hawaii." "Yes, sir. I even have Dr. Red's gown delivered at the house." We arrived just in time for the hospital's  30th Founding Anniversary Celebration. Du

Book 2:4I sat up straight and shifted my gaze between Eric and Calla. They looked so beautiful together, and their physical attributes complemented each other. Calla's tight-hugging gown outlined her lovely upper body shape, but the modified A-Line design of her skirt flared below her hips, concealing her sexy butt. The advantage of Eric's meticulous attitude was that he always planned everything well, and it reflected even in the pale blue shade of Calla's gown, matching Eric's navy blue three-piece suit.My eyes subconsciously fell on Calla's lower abdomen, and my heart ached at the thought that inside her womb could be Sean's child.  She caught me looking at her belly, and she smiled."No bump yet," she smiled genuinely and wondered how she could stand unaffected before the two men who shared her life and before me as the rival. Because if anyone would ask me, I already felt like disappearing from their sight. Not because I was

Sean told me a while ago that he had cut all his communication with Calla while we were in Hawaii, but how did she found out about our wedding? Sean made it sure that the ceremony had its full privacy that no reporters were allowed. He also warned our guests that we wanted to keep our moment private."She has her ways, Red. She is linked to the president, so she could always use his power and influence to do what she likes.""Why did that man say that you only marry me because of your love for power and wealth?""That's foolishness."I shut my mouth after that. It was Sean who had the wealth, so what that man said was indeed nonsense. I just placed my head in his chest, finding comfort in sniffing his scent. He moved and swayed me around until the music stopped.We were about to go back to our seats, but the lady of the ceremony stopped us."Mr. Sean Grey and Dr. Red, may I ask you to please remain on the dance floor?"Sean shifted hi

As if everything fell according to a plan, the music changed before the previous ended. Sean's dance continued without being noticed since the waiters placed another set of desserts on each of the tables."Red, why not go out and wash your face? You don't want Sean to see you crying."I chuckled lightly and nodded. For the first time after our breakup, my mood lightened up with him. I had already seen the gentle side of him, and I thought I had understood him better."You are right.""And because I don't want to see you hurting more from watching them dancing their hearts out.""Ouch!" And a bittersweet grin broke out on my face.Eric chose rather wisely to go back to his seat while I went to the bathroom. Perhaps, he was just avoiding gossip or avoiding Sean's suspicion. I was glad Eric made a move because it was not yet the right time to expose Sean's lies. I got hurt at the thought that it was Sean who first set the rule of open communica

I remembered that day when Sean looked so disheveled as he entered my room here in Laminae. When I accepted Sean's offer to lead the team of medical professionals to handle Laminae's clinic for hundreds of workers, he provided me a private room to stay. He could have allocated a bed for me in the doctor's lounge, but he assigned a luxurious space for me. I knew at that time that his room was next to mine.I wondered why Sean looked so messy at that time, but when I saw his things in my bedroom, I was emotionally moved. I presumed that Sean was really sincere in inviting me into his life because he decided to share a room with me. He planned everything for both of us. Even the house that I bought from Philip turned out to be a shared complex with him. Now that we are married, he converted the house into a single-detached house even before we returned from Hawaii.This side of him confused me. He made everything possible for us to get closer to each other. I co
