"Leaving" I answered him without emotion. "And this middle of the night?" "You don't need to know". He was surprised by My answer, even I was also surprised by My answer. But I just ignored it. I'm tired, I'm so tired. It quickly approached me and was about to grab me by the arm, but I immediately moved away I hope he will speak but I turned his back on him.
Three years into my marriage to Theo, and all I can say is that, initially, it was a delight to be his wife.
He was previously unable to do with me the things that I am experiencing with him now.
He only said, "I'm leaving," without showing any emotion.
I was going to give him my customary cheek kiss when he walks into the office when he turned his face away and gave me a chilly stare.
My heart was a little hurt,
and grinned sourly right away.
For the past few months, it is how he has always treated me.

For the past few months, it is how he has always treated me.
When I returned, he had already left. I accepted it with a smile.
I sighed and turned to look outside, thinking, "It's a shame; maybe I'll just pass by his office." The large, silent, and lonely mansion was just me.
My name is Serene Avallon-Alcazar, and I am the wife whom my husband despises for not having kids.
Anyone Pov;
When she came into the kitchen to fetch the item she intended to hide in the food she had prepared, I left right away. I anticipated that she would insist on delivering me the food she made, which was bland and frequently salty.
I gradually became less interested in our relationship.
We have been married for three years, and throughout that period, the foundation built on love and dreams that we shared progressively crumbled.
She's got a catch; she can't have me a child.
Hopefully everything will be well. I regret not having given up hope that we might become parents sooner if she had told me about her condition sooner, but she kept it a secret.
the ailment she'll experience in two years
Every time I saw her, my hunger gradually decreased as a result.
I kept going when Jeanette abruptly called. I answered right away and grinned at her.
"Good morning, honey!"
Can you go by my condo so I can give you a surprise? In her tone, she said, "I surely think you will love it." I know I will.
I said,
"I'm on my way, sweetie," and then I hung up.
I sped off to her condo since the heat I felt energized my body.
I almost rushed to Jeanette's condo when I got there, and as soon as I opened the door, I grabbed her.
She muttered with a smirk, "Woah, easy there; you're wild.
I said, "Don't stop me from doing this; I miss making love to you," and carried on with what I was doing.
Serene is unable to provide for my needs or wants; therefore, you can't hold it against me.
I'm merely a man with a desire that Serene is unable to satisfy.
because she consistently declines my requests for sex.
I'd like to try once more. She won't eat if my miracle occurs since she doesn't want to
Because she consistently claims that her condition prevents her from carrying another person.
I forget that I was married each time I engage in this transgression; instead, lust is the dominant emotion in my body.
I'm determined to get Jeannette pregnant.
Jeanette asked feebly, "Won't your wife know this?"
I coldly muttered, "What if she finds out?" "Is there anything else she can do besides divorce me?" before kissing her once again.
It doesn't matter to me how peaceful it seems.
because having a child is all I want.
Theodeus Alcazar is the CEO of my own business.
The husband of Serene a lying and a cheater.
Serene Pov
I'm going to bring the food I've prepared to my husband's workplace.
I feel like he's making me look bad, even though I know he doesn't want me to join the firm.
I simply disregarded it and grinned at myself in the mirror.
Serene, you can do it;your a strong
I was dressed in a high-waisted, basic white cardigan that seemed comfortable.
I went to the garage to get in the car after making sure I looked okay.
My initial thought was to call Aimee, my husband's secretary, and inquire as to whether Theo was at the office.
After only three rings, she answered it right away.
"Hello, ma'am,"Good morning, why did you call?"
"I'm just asking if Theo is there yet, he said he had a meeting this morning."He was in a hurry; that's why he left his pocket." "But don't worry, I'm on my way to bring it to him." I said.
"Ahh, ma'am".I feel her voice is nervous.
"Yes, is there a problem, Aimee?"I have a gentle question. I feel like something is wrong.
"M-mam, Serene, Sir Theo doesn't have a meeting today; he canceled it for an important matter." I was surprised to go to the car and immediately drive, and I braked hard.
Why do you appear to hear someone?" and "M-mam, are you okay?"
I ended the call without being shocked.
Theo isn't employed by the business.
Why did he then claim to have a meeting this morning? He seems to be telling me something false. No, he isn't; perhaps I just went to see him, or perhaps my significant other actually went to see him.
But is it worthwhile for him to conceal it from me and tell me a lie?
I have a lot of questions, and I feel like I should visit my husband's former condo.
I'm afraid, and my heart is racing.
My eyes' outer corners are also becoming warm.
I arrived at his condo; I was standing at the door.
I entered inside a door that was just slightly ajar. If that's how he got here, I have a lot of questions.
So I cautiously opened the door.

"This November 13 2***, the President has already declared the evacuation of the people who live in such an area that is the source of thick smoke due to the spread of chemical gas. While the scientists are still continuing to investigate the origin of that thing..." I heard the news of the reporter on T.V. I just sighed and shook my head before placing the junkfoods I chose to buy on the counter. "Hey. How many months has that issue been, they still haven't been able to resolve it? Are they really scientists?!” the cashier complained while watching the news. I didn't say anything because he was right. The news has been like this for months. But until now it is still not finished, sometimes people just think that the Government is just making that smoke an excuse to cover up other issues about them. "All 180 pesos." I immediately returned to the store when the cashier told me that. "Oh! Just a moment.” I said. I quickly took out my wallet and gave him the money. He immediately accepted it and thanked me. I just smiled back at him before turning around carrying the junkfoods I bought. "Don't forget to wear a face mask before going out to avoid inhaling chemical gas—" I didn't hear anything else the reporter had to say when I got out of the convenience store. I am now wearing a face mask because that is the protocol given to us by Governments. We also cannot criticize their protocols because we might be given a warning. While I was walking home. I couldn't help but notice other people just coughing somewhere. It's like they have a serious illness. I just shook my head and continued walking until I reached Ate's house. "Im here." I said when I entered our house. I immediately went straight to the living room and put the junkfoods there before looking for Ate Mika. "Meisha, is that you?" I heard Ate Mika say from somewhere. I immediately looked at his behavior. Weird? He didn't call me "Shasha". "Sister Mika, did you just come home?" I will ask. Based on what he's wearing, it looks like he just came from work. He smiled at me before nodding, "Where are you from? Do you know I've been looking for you for a while now?" "It's like you haven't gotten used to me, Sister. Well, you know I'm a wanderer." I said before laughing softly. "But anyway, I bought junk foods at the convenience store. Feel free to take it.” I took the plastic containing the junkfoods from the table and gave it to him. After that, I immediately went straight to the kitchen to get an apple. "What is the apple for?" Ate Mika immediately asked me. "Because I saw someone on YouTube that turned chocolate into apple sauce, that's why I want to try it too." "Won't that hurt your stomach? Can I cut?" "I can do it, Sister. Just watch.” I said and was about to cut an apple when it suddenly hit my finger causing it to bleed. Shit. "Hey! I already told you! I should be the only one. You are really stubborn, Meisha." Ate said and quickly took my finger. But I was surprised when he suddenly slapped the wound on my finger in his mouth and sucked it hard to relieve me of the pain. "A-Ate Mika, wait!" I quickly pulled my finger from him. I can not believe. What happened to him? He's not like this when I get hurt. "Why Meisha? Is there a problem?" he asked while still looking at my finger. I immediately hid my wound on my finger, "What the hell.. what's wrong with you Sister? Why are you acting weird? Y-do you know you're scaring me." I nervously told him. He smiled horrifyingly, "What are you saying, Meisha? Nothing happened to me. I just want to treat your wound." "Cure? S-as far as I know, you're afraid of blood so how could you just suck my wound all of a sudden? Also, you don't really call me Meisha, do you? That's Shasha, Sister." I said while backing away from him. Suddenly, the smile on his lips disappeared and was replaced by a scary aura. "Annoying." It started, "I should have eaten you when I first saw you." W-what? ate? Sister Mika's words didn't seem to sink into my brain. All I know is, something is wrong with what's happening now. I was surprised when Ate Mika's body suddenly trembled and then her skin cracked, causing blood to start splattering. "S-Sister?!" I retreated even more in fear. "Argh!.." his voice gradually changed while his appearance changed. I bit my lower lip because of fear. I stopped thinking when Ate Mika suddenly stopped shaking. He was bent over so I couldn't see what was happening to him. "Sister Mika?" I hesitated whether to approach him or not, but in the end I managed to approach him anyway. "Sister Mika? Are you still alright?” When I was about to touch it, I was surprised when he suddenly raised his head. His eyes were wide open as if he was about to spit. While his face is full of blood. "...EAT!!" it shouted before attacking me. I screamed in shock because he was holding both of my arms, "Sister Mika! What?!" I said while continuing to push his face away so he wouldn
Someone's POV I have a dream.. A weird dream to be exact. "Selene!" I stopped walking when I heard my name. I quickly turned my attention to the behavior of the person who called me. "I-it's you.." I exclaimed when I saw a man with a familiar face. He smiled sweetly at me. "Selene.. please.." what? I frowned as he slowly approached me. "Please, suck my blood." I was stunned by what he said and could not react immediately. What? *Kringg!* *Kringg* (Sounds of alarm clock.) I took a long breath as I got up from the bed. I was staring at the white wall, breathless. "A dream..?" I whispered to myself. I looked around before my hand fell on my forehead. I'm still in the room so that means it's just a dream... "Shit, when will that dream stop?" "Selene, your mouth." I was surprised to realize that I was not the only one in my room. From the shocked face it was replaced by wonder. "Wtf? Sister, why are you here in my room again?" I asked him. He looked at me seriously before closing the book he was holding. "I just want to borrow your book, that's all." He said while still sitting on the floor. I sighed. She's my sister, Vera Laurent. Second oldest of our siblings. "If you got it, can you get out of my room?" I asked him. His left eyebrow rose quickly, "Seriously? Is that how you treat your sister?" This is a serious question. I was about to answer him "yes" when I suddenly noticed his iris or middle eye turned red. I swallowed because of that. "N-no, what I mean is..." Sh*t. "What?" "Can you give me space to think about my dream?" I asked a little nervously. D*mn. It's really different when you're the youngest. "Oh." In the blink of an eye, it immediately returned to its original color. "Are you still dreaming about that?" Sister asked me. I quickly nodded to him, causing his mouth to open slightly and to nod as well. "Actually, I noticed that a while ago." He said before looking again at the book he was holding. "How?" I want to ask. He raised his index finger and pointed at her eyes. "Because the color of your eyes turned red." I was stunned by what he said. "What?!" I exclaimed before rushing to the mirror and looking into my eyes. "The fuck?!" "Your mouth." Ate Vera scolded me, but I didn't pay attention to it. It's just that when I dream about that man again, my eyes suddenly become like this. "What should I do, Sister?" I asked nervously. Today is our first day of school! "Just calm down." He said. I nodded and tried to calm myself down. A few hours passed, I calmed down and got ready to go to school. "Hey, good morning." I turned around with a tap on my shoulder. "Good morning, Brother Felix." I greet him back. He is my Big Brother. Felix Laurent. Actually, she and Ate Vera are twins, but they have different personalities. "It's your first day of school, right?" I looked at the person who spoke. Kuya Nikolas The oldest of us all. I smiled at him and nodded, "Yeah." "By the way, I'm not going to have breakfast with you anymore. I need to hurry because I might be late." I will explain to the three of them. "Okay, take care!" Kuya Felix smiled and said to me. I just nodded before running out of the house. My school is not far from our house so I just walked to it. Also, such a person doesn't get tired right away we— "Did you watch the news this morning?" I secretly looked at the two students who were walking almost at the same time as me. "Ah, is it about the corpse found behind an abandoned building?" His companion asked. "Yes! Gosh, I was surprised when the reporter said that the vampire did it again." I stopped walking when I heard what another woman said. What? "How many more victims are there?" "Maybe 60 plus?" "Shit! That's a lot!?" I swallowed saliva. What the f*ck? 60 plus victims? How did that happen? Why don't we know anything about that? We are also vampires. Because of the nervousness I feel, I quickly took out my cellphone from my skirt pocket. My hand was shaking a little just typing Kuya Niko's contact number. "Vampires like them should be killed." I was stunned again when I heard the last thing that woman said. Killing...? It was as if my breathing got heavier after hearing those words. I clutched my chest and tried to calm myself down. "Excuse me.." Calm down, Selene.. "Ahm... Miss? Are you okay?" I slowly turned to the person who spoke. Wait.. Am I still dreaming? "I-it's you again..?" I said breathlessly. He frowned and said something else but I didn't hear it anymore when I lost consciousness.
"Love, where are you going?" I asked Gray adjusting his polo shirt. "Do I have to tell you?" he said with a sarcasm tone. "N-no... I mean, it's late and you're leaving..." "My friends and I are just going to meet, is that bad?" he asked while looking at me evilly. "O-Okay... be careful, Love.." He took a deep breath and before he left, he looked at me and shook his head. "L-Love.." I called her and held her arm and she looked at me with a frown. "What?" he asked and I leaned forward to kiss him on the cheek and the look on his face got worse and he rubbed his cheek as if there was dirt on his cheek. I was left bowed because of its treatment of me. What did I do to him and he is like this to me? He's my husband but it doesn't seem like it. He is always not at home and if he is there, he always locks himself in the room. He's my childhood best friend! We were in high school when they talked about us staying together but he was against it because he only thought of me as a brother and he had a girlfriend at the time. In the case of our parents' insistence, it didn't do anything either. He talked to me before that I should help him prevent the wedding they were preparing from going ahead because Aunt Beatrix, who is Gray's mommy, also found out about it. "I didn't know you were like that, Gray!" Mommy Beatrix said disapointed when we talked in the living room. "Mom, I'm sorry! I told you I wouldn't get married, we're just kids! And.. he's not what I want." he said but it only got a slap from Mommy so I immediately intervened. "Auntie.. that's right.." I said turning to Gray and I was surprised to see his evil look at me. "This is all your fault, Niah!" he said so that my shoulders almost fell from what he said. He left and didn't listen to Mommy's shout at him. I am happy now that he is my husband but there is something missing, a lot is missing! The barrier between us is too big. We're married for almost three years! After we went to college, we got married. And even after three years, he still hasn't learned to love me. I wiped the tears from my cheeks and just lay down and let myself be pulled by sleep. 𝗙𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗢' 𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗜𝗖 𝗮𝗺 I was distracted by a loud crash I heard. I immediately got up and looked at the clock on the side of my bed. It's five o'clock. I looked to my side and it wasn't there. I was stunned when the door opened and Gray spat out. "Grey..." I immediately stood up and turned on the light and supported him but he just pushed me. "H-Hey.. Who are you?!" he told me to stagger while walking. It looks like he drank a lot. "Gray, change first..." I said and was about to remove his polo shirt when he touched my hand. "Don't you dare...touching me..you're not my wife!" he said smiling at me. I've been hearing that from him for years but I don't pay attention because every time he says it he's drunk, I just think that maybe he just doesn't want to treat me as his wife that's why he says it. "You're not my wife..." he said and suddenly lay down even though he hadn't changed yet. I took a deep breath and took his clothes from the cabinet but I was stunned by what he said. "We're marriage...is...fake...so, don't you dare!" I let go of the clothes I was holding and looked at him, he closed his eyes. I approached him and shook him." G-Gray.. what do you mean?!" I asked but I heard no answer. What does it say?! I'm afraid, what if our marriage is fake.
Loraine was a dutiful wife to Marco since they got married three years ago. However, he treated her like trash. Nothing she did softened his heart. One day, Loraine got fed up with it all. She asked him for a divorce and left him to enjoy with his mistress. The elites looked at her like she was deranged. "Are you out of your mind? Why are you so willing to divorce him?" "It's because I need to return home to get a billion-dollar fortune. Besides, I don't love him anymore," Loraine replied with a smile. They all laughed at her. Some believed that the divorce affected her mentally. It wasn't until the next day that they realized she wasn't fibbing. A woman was suddenly declared the world's youngest female billionaire. It turned out to be Loraine! Marco was shocked to the bone. When he met his ex-wife again, she was a changed person. A group of handsome young men surrounded her. She was smiling at them all.

You shouldn't be with suckers who just want your money. How about you come back to me? I'm a billionaire too. Together, we can build a strong empire. What do you say?" Loraine squinted at her ex-husband with her lips curled in disgust.

His gaze held me. Fine dark eyes. Those eyes... where had I seen them... Then it hit me. The snob at the club. What was he doing in Mr Hendricks house and in the young Master's room? Wait... Was he an old servant I hadn't met or a new man servant? I scanned him. He looked nothing like a servant. The aura from him felt nothing like the one a servant could possess. His eyes pinched and he took a step towards me. "Did you not just hear me? What are you doing in my house?" His tone was icy. His house? There was only one person aside from Mr Hendricks that could say those words... Young master, Jay Adams! I looked at him again and hell the resemblance struck me. My jaw hung open and for a moment I felt my body go numb. *********** Jay Adams was a perfect man. More like a demigod that commanded both wealth and power. Women swooned over him and wanted a taste of him but he hated women. He does not believe in love. Beneath the tough exterior, beneath his million dollar tuxedo and his coldness were his flaws. And then there was Karen, a complete opposite of him. Poor with a sick father, a sister to cater for and saddled with debts. What will happen when these two cross paths?
