“I’m not in a rush,” Marcelo replied, his voice steady.

If not for his actions, his words might have seemed more convincing.

Renee gently patted his shoulder, trying to soothe him. Beneath her touch lay the solid strength of his

muscles.

“Wait, just wait!”

“Renee, is this really the time to ask me to wait?”

Marcelo’s voice was strained, but he took a deep breath and halted, remembering a past incident when he

had been less considerate.

He exerted control over himself, asking gently, “What’s the matter?”

His thoughtfulness unexpectedly made Renee feel a twinge of guilt.

“No, it’s just…be a bit…more gentle,” she murmured.

“Are you trying to set me on fire with your words, Renee? Is that it?”

Marcelo’s frustration bubbled into a laugh. He lifted her effortlessly, her body now relying solely on his

strength, leaving her no avenue for escape.

“I think I might keep you up the entire night!” Marcelo told her.

“Wait…we need to use a condom!”

Suddenly, Renee’s mind was on the fact that they had to take precautions.

Marcelo’s looked at her, a hint of challenge in his voice. “If you get pregnant, we’ll have the baby. Can’t I provide for it or secure its future?”

Renee met his gaze with a defiant look.

Marcelo, seeming to understand her concern, led her to the cabinet.

“Choose one that you feel comfortable with.”

True to his word, Marcelo kept her awake through the night.

Renee wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but as they finished, the first light of dawn was creeping through the curtain.

By the time she woke, it was already noon.

The events of the night replayed in her mind.

She couldn’t shake the thought that Marcelo had seemed particularly enthralled by their intimacy without protection.

Previously, he had always been mindful about using it, but last night, he had left the choice to her, almost

as if he was making a point.

He even made her to help him put it on.

Their current abode was a presidential suite in a five–star hotel, not some seedy love motel. The array of contraceptives seemed oddly out of place in such a luxurious setting.

This wasn’t what Renee had expected from a presidential suite!

“Well, onto the next matter. What? Want to abandon your marketing department role? Change your plans

or quit. Come on, working for such little profit is practically charity.”

Marcelo’s deep, composed voice drifted from the living room, bringing Renee back to reality.

After a moment, she realized the man who had tenderly bathed her before showering himself, and thus had slept in later than she had, was now busy with work in the living room.

As Renee reached for her phone to check the time, she noticed over twenty W******p messages from

Sarah.

“Renee, are you awake yet?”

“It’s ten already. Are you still asleep?”

“Are you awake? Hello?

“If you’re up, reply to me as soon as you can.”

“Why aren’t you answering my calls? Hey!”

“I might come over and knock on your door, okay?”

It seemed Sarah was hesitant to intrude on Marcelo and Renee’s private time, hence the barrage of messages and calls for confirmation.

Renee noticed two missed calls from Sarah.

Marcelo had set her phone to silent, and she hadn’t responded.

The last phone call came in at about half past eleven in the morning.

It was now one in the afternoon.

Renee was at a loss for words.

Since her clothes were in tatters, she resorted to wearing Marcelo’s white shirt she found on the floor.

Remembering past embarrassing incidents, she didn’t dare make a sound as she entered the living room.

Marcelo was lounging on the sofa, a laptop perched on the coffee table. The laptop, brand new, had been purchased just that morning.

Upon noticing Renee, he signaled the others in the video conference to pause.

“Do you want to eat here, or shall we go out?” he inquired.

Renee blinked her eyes at the laptop.

Marcelo assured her, “I’ve muted the microphone.”

Still wary, Renee approached, carefully covering the camera with her hand before peering at the screen.

Indeed, it was muted.

“Renee, it’s as if I’m having an affair with you,” He remarked jokingly.

“Weren’t we secretly married?” She responded, feigning innocence.

Marcelo leaned back, crossing his legs to ease the mood.

“What makes you think that?” he asked.

“Didn’t I place the wedding ring on your finger?”

Renee reflexively glanced at her right hand, where the pink diamond sparkled under the light.

“I thought…we had agreed to keep our marriage a secret…”

“We never made such an agreement,” Marcelo replied, his mood visibly uplifted, like a child reveling in a

newfound treasure.

“By now, many must know that Mrs. King, formerly Miss Hudson, is you.”

Only then did Renee recall Marcelo’s declaration at the auction, which had certainly put to rest any lingering doubts within their social circle.

Marcelo seemed disinterested in continuing his meeting.

Having covered the main points, he gestured to his employees on the screen, indicating the end of their

discussion.

“Has Sarah been here?” Renee inquired.

He nodded. “I didn’t wake you. You were sleeping so peacefully.”

A wave of speechlessness washed over Renee.

She had overslept because of the man standing before her!

“Marcelo, do you ever run out of energy?” She half–joked, half–complained.

Despite this not being their first time, Renee still found it hard to comprehend someone who seemed immune to fatigue or sleepiness.

Her body ached, yet there he stood, brimming with vitality.

“Would you like to test that theory again?” he teased.

Renee was at a loss for words. After a whole night together, how could he even entertain the thought of

more?

When Renee met Sarah, she noticed an undeniable oddity in Sarah’s gaze.
