My Secret Husband Epilogue
"They are healthy. You will see them when you are well, so get stronger soon," he told me softly and brought his face closer to my cheek.I closed my eyes. I feel the extreme fatigue in my whole body and the pain of the wound in my stomach. I had a C-section. The last time I remember, I really tried to make it in normal delivery but my body gave up suddenly. Everyone gave in to me, so everyone immediately decided for me because if not, my children will be in trouble.I could feel Hector's tight grip on my hands so I looked at him again. He closed his eyes while his face was still buried in my neck. Apparently, resting... or praying? I smiled and almost cried when I remembered the first time I gave birth and he was not by my side during those times. It was normal delivery yet it was hard for me to carry. Because I'm all alone. Everyone was there for me, cheering me, but I still felt loneliness during those times. But now, despite the pain and fatigue that my whole body feels, I feel
My Secret Husband Prologue
I was half awake when I felt a stomachache. I could feel the pain and the urge to vomit, so I quickly got up. But that sensation vanished immediately and was replaced by nervousness when I realized where I was.This isn't my room! Where am I?!"Damn!" I whispered to myself.When I looked down at myself, I nearly went into a trance when I realized I wasn't wearing anything, just a blanket wrapped around me."Ugh..."My whole world seemed to pause when I heard that faint growl. I had no idea what I'd do next. My entire body started to tremble with fear and anxiety. I prayed that my assumption was wrong. I hoped it was Ares.But I was completely mistaken when I saw the man beside me from behind. He had a large dragon tattoo on his back and a full-sleeve tattoo as well. He was broad and muscular, clearly the result of hitting the gym - definitely not Ares' back.What have you done, Ana? Who is this man?I was about to stand up when I felt something in my hand, on my finger. I examined it

I was overwhelmed by the grandeur of the building in front of me. I suddenly recalled my first day of work at this company, and now it's been three years since. I still can't fully grasp that I've been here for so long."Ana!"I quickly turned to the caller and saw Elena rushing towards me."Why did you come in? Sir Ares is already gone. He didn't leave any work for you," she informed me right away.I frowned and entered the main entrance of the Aragon Estate building with Elena."What do you mean?" I asked her in surprise. She seemed equally bewildered."Didn't he tell you? The board has an out-of-town trip today and he's with Sir Ares and Don Damien," she replied, surprising me.I didn't respond because I didn't know what to say. Ares never mentioned this to me. I just talked to him on the phone earlier, but he didn't say anything. It couldn't be true. Is she playing a joke on me?"Really? Why didn't he tell me?" I asked as we waited for the elevator to open.Elena just shrugged. "I

I had been restless in the car since earlier, while Elena seemed unfazed. I wanted to ask her what was truly going on because I felt like she was just playing a prank on me. As we traveled to the hospital where she said Ares was, she didn't talk to me, and I sensed no concern from her."Are we still far away, Elena? Is there no one we should contact at the hospital? Should I call his dad or his mom?" I bombarded her with questions, periodically checking my cell phone."Don't call anyone, Ana. We're almost there, don't worry," she replied, her tone was serious. I looked at her in surprise."What do you mean—""Just relax, Ana," she interrupted me and accelerated the car.Confused, I waited for us to reach our destination. A few more minutes passed until we stopped in front of an upscale restaurant. I turned to Elena, ready to question her. But before I could speak, she swiftly got out of the car and opened the passenger seat door. I was met with her apologetic face."What's going on? W

"So, what did your mom say about Ares' proposal?" Elena asked me once more, leaning into my cubicle.I chose to ignore her and focused on my work, stealing a glance at Ares' still-empty office. Elena was already beside me, eyeing my arm."What happened there?" She asked, her tone serious and a bit threatening.I swiftly adjusted my dress, pulling down the blouse's sleeve to cover my arm. I avoided her gaze and started stapling the scattered papers."Aren't you going to take any action? I'm swamped with work, Elena. Let's talk later," I evasively replied, but she didn't seem to take that for an answer.She grabbed my arm, making me look at her. She looked at my bruises. I winced as she raised her eyebrows. That was where Matthew gripped me last night. I couldn't even come up with an excuse because his fingers had left scratches that turned into bruises."Has Sir Ares seen this?" She pressed on, and I simply shook my head."We haven't spoken about it," I replied sparingly. Then I heard

"Are you sure you don't want me to take you there?" Ares asked again as we reached the front gate of our house.I turned to him and took my bag. When I looked at him again, I noticed he was yawning and struggling to keep his eyes open."Just rest. I'm sure Elena will pick me up," I reassured him. He took my hand and gave it a gentle squeeze."I wish I could rest with you in my room," he confessed, looking visibly exhausted. His eyes were soft, and he seemed like he could fall asleep right there.I gave him an apologetic smile. I didn't know how to respond because even though we'd been in a relationship for two years, we had never shared a bed or even been left alone in the same room. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't give in. It had never crossed my mind. Luckily, he understood my situation."I'm sorry..." I whispered to him and hugged him. "We're getting married, so...""Hush, it's fine. I don't want you to think that I'm excited to marry you just for that. I understand," he said gentl

"Where were you? You're taking forever!" Elena greeted me as I reached their table."Oh my gosh, Ana! It's true you're engaged! Can I see your ring?" Riley exclaimed loudly, quickly grabbing my hand to inspect my ring."How long have you been here? We were starting to think you weren't coming," Via said, her usual seriousness in her tone."The bartender at the counter chatted with me for a bit. There was even a guy—""Oh my god! Please tell me you didn't drink the wine Christian offered you?" Elena interrupted, and I looked at her."How did you know? I didn't drink because—""Thank goodness! Never accept drinks from that man or anyone here. You don't know what sort of
My Secret Husband Chapter 6
If only I could turn back time to that night and change what occurred, I would, a million times over. But it's too late now. Far too late.Waking up from a nightmare is bad enough, but waking up next to a stranger and discovering you're now married is far beyond what I imagined. Especially when you realize something happened between the two of you."How did this happen? I didn't... what... What did I do? Damn!" I kept whispering to myself.The frustration was overpowering because I had no memory of what happened. I glanced again at the man beside me, feeling a surge of panic. I closed my eyes tightly and hastily got dressed, gathering my belongings, though I still felt weak throughout.I rushed out of that hotel and hailed a taxi to take me home. I had no idea how to fee
