Yul's POV
"Omg... I'm sorry, Mr. Servano."
I went beside George and wrapped my arms around her shoulder, gently squeezing her in.
Feeling the warmth of her body is what I'm dying to experience once again. When was the last time I could enjoy this warmness with her?
"That's alright. But may I warn you that this should be the last gossiping I will hear from you." I looked at her from head to toe. "I don't want to cut off with another employee."
"Another employee?" murmured George.
I nodded. "Yes."
"What do you mean?" she asked confusingly.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Servano. I hope you forgive me," said Alicia. She walked away with Gene, her gay friend. One of my employees as well.
"Hey, who did you fire? Was she..."
I nodded as I lead the way back to my office. "She kept on insisting on doing something I never wanted--- to be her boyfriend."
As we approached my office, George gently locked the door for me. "She's kind of getting into my head. What does she want from you?"
"And why the lock, wifey?" I asked mischievously, smoothly feeling the atmosphere she was trying to create. "You naughty girl!"
I groaned, as if I was a werewolf, and jumped closer to her, reaching for her neck to get consumed by none other than her husband.
"Why did you leave?" she asked as the drunkenness in her voice couldn't hide the urge.
licking her neck as I aggressively sucked it in, I replied, "Because it seems like your siblings don't want me around."
"We're they your wife?" she asked, and this time, she seems a bit upset. she's ready to disengage from the sensation we're both sharing.
"They're not, but they were your family. I don't want to put you away from them. Also, I know they were your life. Not just your family," I explained. She moved away from me and took a really deep sigh.
How awful. Our dearest intimate sharing of love is getting interrupted because of this conversation.
But it's better to talk about it as soon as possible instead of delaying it. or maybe I wanted to create more damage to her heart?
Knowing that I hurt her for being away, being intimate with each other isn't the first thing that she wanted to experience from me.
I know what she wanted, and it's kind of unfair if I delay that again.
"Fine, I know it's my fault. I run away again," I started, as my arms wrapped around her waist. it's good that she's not resisting, so I rested my head on her shoulder.
"At least you know. Now what do you want? what will happen to us? Yul Matthew, may I remind you that I am not your contracted wife anymore. I am your WIFE! you married me!" she murmured, but I can feel the urge to shout in her vibrating voice.
As we get immersed in the deepening conversation, my door suddenly opened.
"Fuck..." I murmured, aggressively pulling body away from her.
"We will go home now, George."
It's Harry. My guards are behind him, facing the floor as they know what will happen later after this commotion.
How could they let someone barge into my office?!
But I won't let him.
I pulled George away from him and face him instead. "Why are you causing a ruckus here?"
he chuckled. "get away your hands from my sister."
"Bro---"
"No! shut up, don't start me with your bro thing, stop this instant and just return my sister! NOW" he shouted. Harry is fuming mad. What happens to him? What did I do to him?
"No, harry..." George is starting to tear up.
"Oh, baby..." I caressed her cheeks.
A sudden hit from my side struck my cheeks, causing me to drop to the floor.
Then I just saw the image of my wife, getting smaller and smaller.
I don't understand. What does he want from our family?
A few hours after, I was awakened by the splash of water, coming from an employee I just fired a few minutes before getting back here.
"So, now you're with a Halle instead of a Yutengco."

George's POV
I let Harry pull me until were outside the building before I throw his hands away from me and complain.
"What is your problem?" I shouted. we're here in the parking lot with no people's eyes. so I can reprimand him any way I wanted.
He tried his best to calm down by breathing as deeply as he can before responding to my question.
"Do you even realize where I'm getting all of these aggravations toward your husband despite seeing you in great pain after his absence?" he said.
"Whoa, could you breath?" I said sarcastically. "Anyway, that's exactly my point! Where are you coming from?! How do your useless emotions have something to do with our relationship?!"
Harry slammed his rearview mirror, not even minding if it cause damage. I didn't notice that were beside his car, huh?
"You still don't understand. he's hurting you. he's wrecking your life again! you know what, I always know you're better off without him. why don't you go back to Japan with Yancy?" Harry is starting to calm down.
But I was frustrated because of his out-of-the-world suggestion. "He's not wrecking my life, he IS part of my life, and the family I'm trying to save! Harry, why are you taking out your anger on him? Haven't you said you both make-up?"
"Exactly. But he's proving continuously how incompetent he is, and that I was right about what I thought about him. He never changes. He's still perverted for trying to deal with two women at once, going back to his puke--- which happened to be you --- after throwing you out."
My hands instantly reacted as soon as I heard him insult me, in front of my damn face. I slapped Harry. "It looks like you're getting ahead of yourself. Leave me alone."
I was about to run away from him and go back to my husband with the primary purpose of why I came here--- to make up with him. But he spoke again. "I saw him hugging another woman."
"STOP! Don't try ruining his image again, it's not working," I shouted, and went back into the business of going back to Yul.
Honestly, I'm a liar. It's working. I feel like he was right. I feel the need to ask Yul about Harry's claim. I need to reassure myself because I don't want to feel suspicious about him anymore.
But... he wasn't a womanizer anymore, right? I'm not just getting swayed by my emotions, right?
"Kuya!"
"Harry, what happened?"
"Ate!"
I heard them, but I'm not looking back. It was Yancy, Hanakim, and Fernando. I'm sure they will understand, better than Harry.
As I went back, my steps are weighing heavier. what is this feeling? What is this atmosphere? Why are they looking at me as if I'm a newcomer prisoner?
Never mind, stay focused. I need to check him out.
"I told you, that woman Will is such a slut. Tss, brother? for sure, it was just an excuse."
"Yes! I know. I've heard she was once a stripper."
"What?!"
"Lower your voice, she's literally in front of you!"
"I'm sorry! you made my emotions rise high! So what now? Did I win with our bets? HAHA!"
"Fine, I didn't know that Mr. Servano will get head over heels toward Ms. Halle."
THAT'S IT! I can't help but look back at those gossipers. I can't process the information that was coming in continuously to my head.
Head over heels? HALLE?! I thought he fired her.
"Could you repeat what you just said?" I said, almost above a whisper. I know that this is causing a scene, but they started it! No mercy, this time. I won't let this slide.
"Well, since you asked, let me tell you. Soon enough, you will have a divorce paper from Mr. Servano."
I closed my eyes aggressively as my fist are gripping tighter. "I said, repeat what you just said."
She gulped. "Mr. Servano is head over heels toward Ms. Halle. Is that what you wanted to hear?"
I took a deep sigh, process what she said, and continue my step. I need to confirm it myself. I need to know where are they coming from with all those accusations.
But I wasn't even stepping ten, I heard another triggering rumor.
"See? She's a squammy."
I went back and gave her what she deserve--- a slap and a pull of her hair.
"Is that enough to shut you up?" I whispered. But I'm not yet satisfied. I pushed her harder. "Or will it be better if I fired you in the name of your CEO?!"
"Oh my god... GUARD! Escort this woman out of here!" It was an employee, the person who was in the company of this woman I'm holding in my palm.
The guard instantly came to check in the commotion.
"Oh, Mrs. Servano, I'm sorry for her behavior. She's new."
"What?! DAD! You're taking her side?!"
Dad? Whoa, she was the daughter of a loyal employee.
"Shut up, Verny! I'm trying to save your ass here!"
Verny, huh? Let me remember your name.
I cleared my throat and push slightly this woman away from me. "Deal with them, I have to go back to my husband."
Damn, those people bought so much time, I almost forgot where I'm going. Jeez.
"UH... Mrs. Servano, I don't think you should go inside his office," said the guard. Tremble is evident in his voice. He was following me until I get inside the elevator. Honestly, this is freaking me.
"Why?" I asked lamely.
"Uhm... maybe because he was busy with his paperwork?" he said hesitantly.
I shook my head. Something is definitely wrong.
Not minding the continuous demands of Mr. Guard, I put on a long face while processing my mind. I don't want to cause a ruckus, I need to calm down.
He said that he cure his sickness, and I trusted him. I'm sure he won't do that.
As my feet are getting nearer to his office I can feel myself purposely putting a lot of pressure on my steps, causing them to be heavier.
"Hubby?" I called him, no response. I continued to go inside his office, reaching for the personal room made especially for him.
"What the fuck?!" I mumbled.
She smirked. "What are you doing here?"
"Hey, hey! It's not what you think, wifey---"
I have no time for this.
I turned my back against them, letting my face get covered in tears. It doesn't matter if my make gets all smudge. All I care about is I don't want him to see me like this.
I saw them...
