The Marriage Contract のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

THE SECOND meeting with that man in the coffee shop where I work never happened again, which I am grateful for. I prayed to never see him again after the first time we met when he first used me, and I think my prayer failed once because we met again in the coffee shop that night when I made my duty. One week had passed, and I believe the days I spent working full-time at the coffee shop to earn more bonuses were not in vain. And from the day I start my task and am assigned as a secretary to the company, I'll be back in the night shift because I'll be a secretary during the day. That same night, following my encounter with that man, my professor also sent me a document in a brown envelope containing everything I needed for this task. According to one of the files, I'll be working for the Saavedra company, which was a little surreal. When my professor sent me an email, I assumed he was joking or made a typograp

AT 5 a.m., I AM AWAKENED BY THE TONE OF MY PHONE ALARM. I still didn't want to get out of bed because I was tired from sleeping late the night before to finish those papers. I had no idea that my first day as a secretary would be a living hell. I can't believe it's only the first day and I'm already exhausted! So, with sleepy eyes, I attempted to get out of bed and make my way to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Yes, I prepare breakfast in the morning. I'm not going to be late. I promised you I'd do my best as a secretary. It's better to start early than late. For breakfast, I simply prepare rice, fried hot dogs, and fried eggs. After I finished cooking, I went to the bathroom to take a bath and change into a short and plain t-shirt. When I returned to the kitchen, Bella had already finished her bath and was wearing a short and a sando on top, wiping her hair with a towel to dry it a little. "Good m

I WAS PANTING HARD and gasping for air. I tried to calm myself once I was out of my boss's office. Something heavy lifted from my chest the moment I walked out of that damn room. I returned to my cubicle and sat in my chair, still trying to calm myself. Because of my angry breathing, my chest was moving up and down. When I finally calmed down, I realized I had gone beyond my capabilities. I wasn't supposed to say those words because I admitted that he was still my boss and that I was just his secretary. It was my responsibility to do everything he said, and I had no right to refuse. And my initial reaction was over. That, I believe, is due to my stressful job. It was only two days here, but the stress level was nearly 100 percent. I wash my face with my hands, frustrated by the realization that washed over my system that my boss will punish me by giving me a lot of work loads or simply choosing to throw me out of this building, causing me to fail this year because of my overreaction

“WELL, THERE’S only one way to find out,” Keandrick responded and take out his expensive phone, waving it in front.I raised a brow at him in confusion, didn’t get the idea he was trying to express but instead to feed my confused self, he turned his gaze to his phone’s screen and dialed someone’s number. I don’t know what was running inside my boss’s head. This happening was a huge plot twist in both of our lives. Both living our lives, this marriage thing made our lives turned upside down. We are both a victim. We both don’t know what truly happened and why we ended up in this kind of situation and we both don’t know how we will get out of this situation. Well, I hope we could find a way, the fastest way to get out of this mess. I don’t think I would be able to sleep tonight because of this.I know I swear to myself that I didn’t want to meet him again since that chocolate encounter at the small store near the park. But because of this damn marriage certificate that we both don’t kno

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
