Sabrina

I cross my legs and look at Harold's face when he finds out that I and my three best friends had been home last night and witnessed his infidelity. I throw the divorce agreement that Arin wrote.

She was a lawyer, while Lily was a general surgeon, and Hanna manages two of her family's businesses, an entertainment and broadcasting company.

"You know that it's easy for me to... expose your shit, Mr. Ross. I wonder how your parents and grandpa will... discipline you after this video is shown on television and social media. So..." Hanna halts and glares at Harold.

"The prince of the Ross family will surely be seen as a beggar in the streets if he disagrees to sign these papers and drags his butt in that office," Arin added. Lily suddenly throws the knife in the middle of the table.

"Choose your poison, Harold. I can save lives, but I know how to end one without leaving a trace," she stated, smirking.

The three of us blinked when we saw her lethal expression. Hanna laughs and looks at Harold. "You heard her. She's a surgeon, don't forget that," she stated.

Harold looks at me, and her smugly expression flashes. I held my fork and knife tightly. "How about you, hmm? Don't forget. You have nothing now, Sabrina. Your grandmother has disowned you. I know that old woman too well. She will never forgive you no matter how you kneel in front of the Paige's ancestral mansion," Harold mocks.

Arin threw her fork in Harold's plate, which startled him. "Have you forgotten who we are, Mr. Ross? Do you really think we'll leave her behind?" she grunted.

I raise my hand and stop them from making one more remark. They rolled their eyes. "Just signed the papers, and we'll go to the respective office after. You shouldn't make me mad, Harold. You haven't seen that side of me."

I cut the meat, and the eerie sound that my knife created startled them. "I'm sure you can't handle my wrath if you keep on making things nastier than they have been," I added.

I chewed the meat and calmly stared at his face. I'm trying to control myself not to throw the knife in his face. "Alright! Let's see where you'll end up. Don't beg me if you finally realize that I'm not joking," Harold says.

He even chuckles to mock me. He signed the papers. After breakfast, my best friends came with us. They watch the two of us as we fill in the form. We received the papers that prove that we're divorced. As we walked out of the building, I smirked when I saw the evidence that I'm already divorced. Lily opens the car door for me.

"We must celebrate later tonight. You finally woke up, honey!" she jokes.

Harold scoffs and looks at us. "Don't be bitter, EX. Anyway, say hi to Leah for me. It's her turn to pick up the trash that I throw away," I stated. I look at him meaningfully. We laugh and get inside the car.

Gabriel

At the parking lot, Leah was glaring at me. We used different cars. I'm glad I didn't listen to her when she told me that I should sell my car. It's second-hand and not a style for my age, but as long as I have a vehicle to use, I don't mind.

"Make sure that after this, you keep your mouth shut and delete that video. Don't make me mad, Gabriel. The Ford family can make your life a living hell." I scoff and shake my head lightly.

"Is that so? I don't mind deleting that filthy video. Let's get inside. Looking at you makes me want to throw up," I grunted.

She was insulted, but I passed through her and went inside first. After filling in the needed document, we handed over our marriage certificate. "If the two of you had decided not to pursue this, you can both come back to cancel the process during the cooling-off period," she said.

We look at each other and scoff. "I don't pick the trash that I already threw away," I commented.

I walked away and ignored Leah's reaction. I get inside my car and drive back to where my paternal grandma lives. As I arrived, she welcomed me with open arms. "You finally realize your mistake, my grandson," she says while hugging me tightly. I simply smile sadly.

"Let's get inside. I cooked your favorite meal," she stated. "Thank you, Grandma."

At the table, she was looking at me. "I should've listened to you, Grandma. Marrying a rich lady is a mistake," I utter. She shakes her head.

"No. You married the wrong lady. Not all women or men from conglomerate families look down on ordinary people like us. Not all ordinary or poor people are good ones either," she commented. What she said was true.

"I wasted my youth on a selfish woman like her grandma. I sacrificed my dreams for her, yet she didn't see those sacrifices that I made," I mumbled. She placed a card on the table.

"All the money that you sent to me was all here. Your grandpa and I saved some money also. This card has three million dollars. You can start the business that you've been thinking about. Grandma will support you," she stated.

My tears fall, and I stop eating my noodles. "Eat... you have become thinner. Stop dwelling on the past and move forward, my grandson."

I message my friends and tell them my plans. They told me that we should meet in a bar to celebrate as well. All of them were happy that I let go of my toxic marriage.

At seven, we meet on one of the clubbing streets. Shawn told me that they paid for a room and hired some female models. They haven't changed a bit. I was walking in the hallway when one of the doors opened and a woman bumped into me.

"I'm sorry!" we both said.

I heard a sound and watched her beautiful hair fall on her shoulder. I looked down and saw the jade hairpin that holds them together. I pick it up and face her. "Let me tie it for you," I utter. She smiled.

"Are you sure?" Wait, she looks familiar!

Sabrina

I was startled and thought I hit the face of the man when I opened the door. For some reason, he was staring at me intently. "What's wrong?" I ask. I look at my jade hairpin.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Forgive me. Like I said, I can tie your hair for you," he says. That surprises me more. I can tell he's not flirting with me. "Are you really sure you can?" I ask.

He nods. I closed the door and turned my back. "Let's see," I stated.

He didn't say a word. I thought his touch would disgust me or he'd show some nastiness, but he didn't. He gathers my hair and ties it. In just a minute, he finished.

"Can you take a photo from the back? Let me judge your effort," I remarked.

He laughs. I heard a clicking sound, and he handed over his phone. My eyes dilated when I saw how beautiful it was. I look at him. "Are you... ahem!"

I look at him from head to toe. He laughs, which made him beautiful. His chocolate brown eyes were beautiful. It was dangerous yet dreamy. It holds emotions that can make anyone kneel.

He has an oval face shape, a sharp jaw, full lips, and a regal nose. He has long and thick lashes and brows. "I'm Sabrina. Anyway, thank you. I'm sorry for almost hitting your face." He smiled.

"Gabriel, don't mention it. It's my fault anyway. It's been years since I entered this kind of place. I forgot that the door will be open outward," he says. I laugh.

"Thanks for this." I pointed to my hairstyle.

We bowed to each other and went in different directions. I step out of our room to have some fresh air and let my friends enjoy the male models that they ordered. In my entire marriage, I changed completely, but, in the end, I didn't get the chance to tame him.

After eating noodles across the road, I went back and saw my friends dancing with those five male models. I drink my margarita and watch them. Time had passed. All of us were already tipsy. I left them no choice but to call their brothers that will pick them up.

"Are you sure you can manage, little sister?" Big Brother Jude asks. He's Arin's older brother. I made an OK gesture.

"Don't worry about me, big brother. I already called someone to pick me up. Take care! Bye-bye!"

I wave my hand and smile. He smiled as well and drove away. I stood straight and took a deep breath. I had no choice but to sleep in that hotel across the street. I tried my best to walk straight until I reached the hotel. "Welcome to our hotel! What can I help you with, my lady?" she asks happily. I smiled. "One room, please."

We turn our heads, and our eyes meet. I frowned. "I'm sorry, my lady and sir, but we only have one room left. It's on the fifth floor. Sir, you should find another room. This young lady came here first." He smiled.

"No problem. Thank you," he says.

He looks at me and bows his head. I look at him. He was dead drunk. He can't even walk straight! "Wait, Gabriel!"

Gabriel

She was kind. Her beauty complements her kindness. Her arm wraps around my body while mine is on her shoulder. "Wait a sec." She opens the room and helps me as we enter the room. "Oops!" she exclaimed.

I tripped, and she had no choice but to push me on the wall and hold my shoulders. "I'm sorry—hik!"

I shake my head. She's splitting into two. I drank too much while telling my friends how my wife cheated on me last night. That I finally saw her having sex! Not to me, but with her cousin-in-law! I look at the lady in front of me.

"You look like her but much prettier and kinder," I whisper.

"What? You're really drunk. Let me get you in bed," she says. I was dragged and pushed in the bed. She was about to leave when I grabbed her wrist and pulled her down. I got up and crawled on top of her. "What are you doing?!" she asks, panicking. I held her chin.

"Your lips... they look delicious."

I lean closer. I kiss her upper lip first and meet her eyes. "I'll be very gentle..." I whispered.

"You..." She closes her eyes.

The moment my lips land on hers again, it seeks for a searing kiss. Her lips were soft. She tastes like a margarita. I grab her hips and spread her legs using my knee.

Her body was so soft that I wanted to feel her warmth against mine. I grab her wrists and hold them together above her head. I lick her lips and then bite her lower lip softly. She was gasping after breaking that kiss.

"Can I?" I ask.

She might be a stranger, but I already pushed her in this situation, but still, I want to ask for her permission. "Umm..." she replied.

I kissed her forehead, her eyes, and her nose, then gave her a smack on her lips. "Forgive me for my rudeness, but I don't want to stop..."

I lick her earlobe and softly bite her sensitive spot. "I want you, Sabrina."

My other hand unzips her dress as I plant kisses on her neck down to her collarbone. I let go of her hand, and she takes off my coat. I pulled down her dress. I gasped when I saw her half-naked body. I admit it. I was mesmerized and aroused instantly.

Abstaining from sex because of my ex's negligence might be one of the reasons why I get turned on easily. "Or maybe... you're too beautiful for me," I murmured. She pushed me and sat on my crotch. She takes off her dress and throws it on the floor.

"I'm not that beautiful. But you are," she whispered.

She ran her finger on my muscular body and smiled while staring at my abs. "You're of legal age, right?" she asks.

That made me laugh. I held her hips and pulled her closer. "If I'm not, are we stopping?" I tease. She shakes her head.

"Just shut your mouth and you'll be fine. You know what I mean," she replied. I grabbed her hips and pulled her closer.

I lift my head and leave a mark on her upper left boob. "You can trust me. I'm keeping my lips shut. In return... satisfy me, my lady." She claimed my lips this time. I'll fall for this trap. Let's just hope that we won't meet again.

Sabrina

I woke up the next morning. He was still sleeping cutely. I grab my phone and take a photo of his beautiful face. "For a young boy, he has a lot of energy and—agh!"

I place my hand on my waist. I switch to the front camera and check my neck. He leaves too many hickeys! I grab his coat and check his wallet. I took a photo of his ID. I look at him after. "How could you lie?! We're both 29 years old!" I exclaimed.

I put it back and grab my clothes. I took a quick shower, and he's still sleeping. I placed my jade hairpin next to him. "Thank you for a wonderful night, Gabriel."

I planted a small kiss on his cheek and walked away. I didn't waste my time and headed back into Paige's ancestral home. I know my grandma was monitoring my marriage. "Welcome back, young lady!!"

The maids and butlers aligned on each side and greeted me. "Uncle Troy, where's my grandmother?" I asked.

He followed me as I entered the villa. "She was waiting for you at the table, young lady," Uncle Troy answered.

We headed into the dining room, and Grandmother was indeed waiting for me there. He pulled my chair. "I told you so," she says. She put down her chopstick and looked at my eyes.

"His roots might be good ones, but sometimes, trees can have rotten fruit," she says. She was serious while scolding me. "Too bad because you marry the rotten one," she added. "Did you tell Grandma Nelma?" I ask.

She sighed. "My cousin and I were good buddies during our younger years. She has a weak heart. I don't have the courage to tell her," she simply replied. "Please don't. Let her own grandchild expose her sins. She and Leah's parents will discipline her based on Ford's family rules."

"What are your plans now?" she asks.

I sip my juice and meet her eyes. "Grandma... I'm willing to take over our businesses. You're right. I shouldn't leave my dreams for a man," I whispered.

She smiled. "Alright. This time, you should listen to my advice," Grandmother asserts. "If that's your wish, Grandma, I will do as you say," I replied.

Two months later...

"Jenny, who made this report? Call her to my office now." She blinks and leaves right away. My secretary came back, bringing the employee that made the report.

I pointed to the folder. "I already underlined your mistakes. Check your report, and I need it before two in the afternoon. Am I heard?" I ask. She bows her head and speaks.

"My apologies, Boss Sabrina. I will change it right away!" she exclaimed.

"Alright. Next time, double-check your graphs before printing," I remarked. She raises her head and looks at me. "Understood, Boss Sabrina!"

She bows down again and leaves. Thea sighed. "You speak with the other employees gently, but to me?" She sighed and shook her head. I frowned and covered my mouth.

"What kind of smell do you have, Thea?!" I exclaimed, a little mad. She steps back and smells herself. "Huh? Are you talking about my new perfume, Boss?" she asks.

"New perfume—ugh!" I ran inside the bathroom and threw up. I feel like my stomach was being flipped upside down. After throwing up, I wash my mouth and take a deep breath. I look at my reflection in the mirror.

"Boss Sabrina, are you okay?" Thea asks. I covered my nose. "Change your clothes! I hate that smell!" I grunted.

She left and followed my order. I wipe my face with a tissue and look at my reflection. After calming down, I decided to go to the hospital and meet my grandmother there. As I arrived, she had already finished her appointment with the doctor.

"I thought you wouldn't listen to me. You need to listen to your body and go to the hospital when needed," Grandma says.

"Can you wait for me then? I want to know your test results after speaking with the doctor," I remarked.

Grandma nodded. They run some tests on me. An hour later, the results were out. Grandma tags along when the nurse asks me to get inside the doctor's office. "Congratulations, missus. You're two months pregnant with twins," Dr. Dan says.

My eyes dilated when I heard his statement. "What did you say, doctor? I'm pregnant with twins?!" I exclaimed.

She looks at me, puzzled. "Thank you, doctor. Troy, wait for my granddaughter's prescription. Sabrina, let's go," Grandma says. She drags me with her. At the parking lot, she's looking at me.

"No matter what happens, I don't want you to remarry that jerk! We can raise my great-grandchildren without them!" she grunted.

I gulp and look at her. She frowns. "What's wrong? Are you going to defy me again?!" she roars. I shake my head.

"That's not the problem, Grandma. Harold had never consummated our marriage because he keeps on making excuses. I learned that it's because Leah is the only one he wants to sleep with..." I paused.

I was nervous and scared of how my grandma will react to my confession. "What?! Then who is the father of your twins?!" she yells thunderously.

I grabbed my phone and showed her the picture. She grabs her phone and calls someone. "I want you to find someone and bring him to Paige's villa as soon as possible! Run a background check as well. I need every detail about this man. Every single detail!" She drops the call and sends the photos to that person that she calls.

"We will have another serious conversation as soon as we get home."

I didn't say a word and just listened to my grandmother's nag until we arrived in the villa. In the end, she demanded marriage for our twins. I never realized that the night I lost to my desire would result in an unexpected blessing. In my room, I stare at the photo of Gabriel.

I place my hand on my tummy. "My little ones... tell me, how can I face your daddy?"
