All Chapters of I Am the CEO's Contracted Secretary (SPG): Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

For one terrifying second after Dera opened her eyes, nobody moved.Not Alex.Not the nurses rushing into the room.Not even Lora, who had spent the last several days talking nonstop like silence itself offended her personally.Because after so many sleepless nights, after too many moments of hope ending in disappointment, everyone had become afraid of believing too quickly, afraid that this would disappear the moment they reached for it.Alex stared at Dera like a man witnessing a miracle he no longer thought he deserved to see.Her eyes were still weak and unfocused from the coma, her breathing uneven, her body exhausted beyond imagination, but she was awake.Alive.Looking back at him.“...Alex?”Her voice came out barely above a whisper, rough and fragile from days of silence, but the moment Alex heard it, something inside him completely broke apart.“Baby…”The word escaped him like a prayer.His trembling hands immediately cupped her face carefully as tears filled his eyes so fa

I used to think relationships were supposed to feel dramatic all the time.You know grand confessions in the rain, toxic tension, screaming matches followed by passionate reconciliations, the kind of romance that feels like a car crash but somehow gets romanticized in movies because everyone is apparently mentally unstable there.Then I met Ji Lian Chen ang pogi kong asawa akkkk kinikilig parin ako tangina.And somehow, against all odds, I fell in love with the human version of deep breathing exercises.Which was honestly insulting.Because how dare someone stay calm while dating me?“Why are you staring at me like that?” Ji Lian asked without even looking up from the steering wheel while driving, his voice carrying that usual calmness that always made me want to either kiss him or annoy him aggressively.“I’m thinking.”“That’s dangerous.”I gasped dramatically from the passenger seat.“Wow,” I said while placing a hand over my chest, “so this is emotional abuse now?”Ji Lian sighed

The hospital had finally allowed Dera to rest properly after days of emotional chaos, meaning the adults around her were now aggressively forced out of the room whenever they became too loud, which unfortunately happened often because Alex and Lora together possessed the emotional stability of two dramatic television characters fighting for screen time. As a result, the triplets ended up spending most of the afternoon with Lora in the hospital lounge while Ji Lian handled an important phone call nearby, and although everyone originally believed this arrangement would be peaceful, they clearly forgot one crucial detail. Lora should never be left unsupervised with children for long periods of time. Especially three children who inherited both Dera’s stubbornness and Alex’s intelligence. “Okay,” Lora announced dramatically while sitting cross-legged on the floor surrounded by snacks she absolutely did not buy herself, “today’s lesson is survival yeah boys survival like basta Yun na

The hospital became quieter after midnight.Not completely silent, because hospitals never truly slept, but softer somehow, as if even the walls themselves understood that the people inside needed rest after surviving too much pain all at once.The nurses lowered their voices while walking through the hallways.The lights dimmed slightly.The noise of the city outside became distant enough to feel unreal.And inside Dera’s room, almost everyone had finally fallen asleep one by one after emotionally exhausting themselves the entire day.Dion was sprawled across the couch with one sock missing for reasons nobody wanted to investigate anymore.Deya slept curled against Lora’s side while clutching a stuffed bunny so tightly it looked personal.Alexion had somehow fallen asleep sitting upright beside Ji Lian, who remained awake only because years of family responsibility trained him to function even without proper rest.Meanwhile Lora herself snored softly while half hanging off the couch

The house slowly became livelier again during the following days after Dera returned home, though peaceful recovery remained nearly impossible because the people surrounding her were either naturally loud, emotionally unstable, overprotective, or all three at once.Still, despite the chaos, warmth gradually returned to the estate little by little.The staff smiled more often now.The children laughed louder again.And for the first time in weeks, the terrifying heaviness hanging over the Vasilyev household finally began lifting enough for everyone to breathe properly.That afternoon, sunlight filled the enormous dining room while the smell of freshly cooked food drifted warmly through the air, and surprisingly, the loudest people inside the house at the moment were not Lora or the triplets.It was the mothers.Specifically Dera’s mother and Alex’s mother discovering they actually enjoyed gossiping together far too much.“Alexander was a terrifying child,” Mrs. Vasilyev said calmly whi
