Becoming the Chairwoman of Devin Cruise Lines was a responsibility I had always anticipated, but hearing it declared so suddenly made it all feel so real.But things turned different now, gusto ko nalang tumigil sa pagtatrabaho at mas bigyang oras si Thaddeus para sa ninanais kong pamilya.

Thaddeus's eyes, filled with tears and regret, met mine with a profound sadness that pierced through me. It hurt me to see him like this, so vulnerable and torn. He was always transparent with me, and that honesty was one of the things I loved most about him. Kasi hindi ako manghuhula, para malaman ang mga sakit o kung ano pa mang nararamdaman niya.I'll still be clueless if he doesn't say a thing to me. Tulad nang mga panahong nasa ikatatlong taon na kaming nagsasama. He became distant.But now, the question remained—how much could I really know if he kept his pain hidden?"I don't want you to hate your father, Cali," he said quietly, his voice trembling as he sat on the edge of the bed, his elbows resting on his knees. He ruffled his hair, a sign of his distress. Seeing him like this was a stark reminder of how complicated our situation had become.Palagi nalang ba kami magsasakitan? Hindi na ba kami sasaya?It seemed like we were stuck in a cycle of pain and misunderstanding. I want

***"Mama! Si Thadeo oh!" Tili ko nang hinahabol ako ni Thadeo sa sala nila. Nagpapatintero kami sa lamesang nasa gitna ng sala.Gumagawa kasi ako ng project sa bahay nila at si Thaddeus ay gustong halikan ako. Magkaiba naman kami ng strand, dahil ABM ako at si Thaddeus naman ay STEM."Hoy, Thadeo! Ano na naman iyan?!" Kaagad na napatigil si Thad nang makitang may hawak na kutsilyo si mama. Kakalabas lang galing kusina."Mama, hindi mo naman papatayin ang sarili mong anak, hindi ba? Mahal na mahal mo kaya ako!" Kabadong sabi ni Thad, habang ako ay tawang-tawa."Kung wala kang gagawin kay Cali, pero kung oo, aba hindi ako magdadalawang isip, Thadeo!""Mama naman! Anak mo ako e, bakit mukhang ako ang sampid dito?" Nakangusong sabi ni Thad. Nag-belat naman ako sa kanya kaya mas lalong humaba ang nguso niya."Ano ba ginawa sa'yo, Cali?" Tanong ni mama saakin. "Ginugulo ako mama, tapos gusto niya ng kiss." Sumbong ko.Naningkit naman ang mga mata ni mama at hinabol si Thaddeus, dala ang kut

Habang titig na titig ako sa picture ay bigla akong ginulat ni Thaddeus dahilan para mabitawan ko ang picture frame pero kaagad niyang nasalo iyon."Thadeo!" Singhal ko sa kanya. Tawang-tawa naman siya kaya sinamaan ko siya ng tingin."Good morning, baby." Bati niya pero sinamaan ko lang siya ng tingin."Wala ng good sa morning ko!" Singhal ko ulit sa kanya. He pursed his lips in amusement that made me roll my eyes again.Bakit ba masyado siyang palaasar?"I prepared breakfast for you, kain na tayo." Aya niya. Tumango naman ako at naglakad na palabas sana ng kwarto nang bigla akong buhatin ni Thaddeus."Thadeo!" Gulat kong sigaw sa kanya. "What? I want to carry you to downstairs, mahal." Pinaningkitan ko siya ng mga mata."I can walk, Thaddeus!" Inis kong sabi sa kanya. Umiling naman siya."Well, not now." Sabi niya sabay ngumiti ng pilyo saakin at inilapag ako sa kama."Isa, Thaddeus!" Asar kong sabi sa kanya. Natawa naman siya at kinurot ang pisngi ko."Ang cute mo talagang asarin,

Warning: This chapter includes explicit sexual content and discussions of intimacy between characters. Reader discretion is advised.“I’m officially yours, Thaddeus Dela Vera.”Nang sagutin ko ang tanong ni Thaddeus ay kaagad niya akong niyakap, binuhat at masaya pa akong inikot sa ere. Nang inilapag niya ako, ay hinalikan niya rin ako. Ilang segundo din nang mapahiwalay sa isa’t isa ay kaagad niya ring sinuot ang singsing sa daliri ko at nang tignan ko iyon ay halos mapanganga ako dahil totoong diamonds ang nasa singsing.“See? May mararating din ang pagiging makulit ko,” he said with a smile that radiated pride and satisfaction, as if he had accomplished something extraordinary.I couldn’t resist teasing him. “Dinaan mo lang ako sa sex,” I joked. Bigla naman siyang napanguso, kaya nilapitan ko ang mukha niya at hinalikan ko siya, pero nakanguso parin siya, kaya natawa ako ng mahina.“Oh see, ang hilig mong mangasar saakin, pero kung ikaw na inaasar, asar talo ka rin naman.” Sabi ko

Thad and I spent the night on the yacht engulfed in passion, exploring each other in every possible position and space. The yacht became our private haven, with every corner bearing witness to our intimate connection.As the night wore on, we finally collapsed onto the bed, both exhausted and sated. The physical exertion left us drained, but deeply fulfilled. I nestled against him, my body feeling a pleasant heaviness from the intensity of our time together.As I began to drift into sleep, feeling the heavy weight of fatigue pulling me under, I felt Thad’s gentle touch. He carefully cleaned me up, his movements tender and attentive. His soothing presence was a comforting balm after our fervent night.“Good night, Cali,” he whispered softly, his voice warm and filled with affection. I managed a sleepy smile in response before finally surrendering to the embrace of slumber. The last thing I felt was his loving gaze, a perfect end to a night of shared passion and deep connection.Nagisin
9 Muses Series #1: Anchored Hearts 24 - The Wedding
Nagkwentuhan lang kaming dalawa ni Zen, nag-iisip narin sa mga ipapangalan ng anak namin, oo dinamay niya ang akin kahit na hindi pa naman ako sure na buntis nga ako. Tsaka kaninang umaga ko lang na-feel ang ganong sintomas, kaya imposible namang buntis ako—hindi din, ilang beses na bang pinutok ni Thaddeus sayo?"Gaga ka! Sex on the yacht? While Thad steering the wheels?! That sound incredibly hot, Cali! Nainggit ako!" Zen exclaimed, her eyes wide with excitement. She playfully hit my arm, clearly thrilled by the juicy details.I couldn't help but grin, remembering how Thaddeus looked in the cockpit area. "He was mad while I'm teasing him," I said, a mischievous smile playing on my lips. "He looked so intense and focused, but it was also... really hot."Zen shrieked with laughter. "Gaga ka! Hindi daw marupok!" komento niya dahilan para matawa kaming dalawa. "Talandi din ano!" sunod niya pang sabi."Gagi kasi, ang hot niyang tignan, tapos nang-aakit pa mga mata." I admitted, I suddenl
9 Muses Series #1: Anchored Hearts 25 - Emotions
After the reception, the after-party was in full swing. The room buzzed with laughter, music, and lively conversations. Guests were enjoying themselves, dancing and mingling, but I was far from feeling the same excitement. My earlier symptoms had worsened, and I found myself making several trips to the restroom, trying to escape the overpowering smells of the food that made me queasy.Thaddeus, ever-observant, noticed my discomfort. He approached me with a look of concern, his brow furrowed slightly. "Are you sure you’re okay?" he asked, his voice laced with worry."Walang strawberry cake." Mahinang sabi ko sabay nguso. Nagulat naman si Thaddeus, tinignan ako, kaya napatingin din ako sa kanya. Halata ang pagkagulat sa kanyang mukha nang sabihin ko iyon.Then he suddenly smiled and said, "You're craving something? I'll request it from the chef. Do you need anything?"I shook my head, though the mention of the cake made my mouth water. "Just the cake," I said with a soft giggle, my mood
