A Husband For The Wild Heiress Chapter 77: Shifting Hearts 2
Tala greedily filled her chest with air as she looked at herself in front of the mirror. She was wearing a beautiful moss green dress she made for herself especially for that occasion—Princess Olivia’s wedding. Finally, after weeks of endless working and sleepless nights, natapos din niya ang wedding gown ni Princess Olivia. Nakatulong ng malaki ang paglipat nila ni Atlas sa Walbrick House upang matapos niya sa tamang oras ang gown. Gigising siya nang maaga sa umaga at paglalamayan ang gown ng prinsesa hanggang sa gabi. Literal na pagkain lang ang kanyang pahinga. But she doesn’t have any complaints. In fact, she prefers that she's busy from sunrise to even after when the sun sets. She’d only hit the sack when her body would feel like dropping from exhaustion. That way, she will not have time to be alone with her thoughts. She took in a sharp breath. Hesitation was still clearly evident in her eyes. She was still contemplating if she’d go to the wedding or not. Para kasing hindi

Knoxx slowly walked over at them and Tala made sure she’d look at him with a straight face. She wanted to show him that she’s unfazed by his arrogance and indecent presumptions. She wanted him to know that for the past two weeks, there were no trace of struggles on her part as she recovers from the heartache he caused. She could do that. She’s a pro in pretending, wasn’t she? However, as soon as he had a whiff of is familiar scent tinged with alcohol, her mind wandered. Why does he smell of alcohol? Has he been drinking? Why? Was he suffering too secretly? Impossible. He looked happy with Genevieve, the one that’s meant for him from the beginning. To make matters worse, the knot on her stomach turned tighter when he looked at her the same way on the last night they were together two weeks ago. Natapos lang ang pagtitig nito sa kanya nang magsalita si Atlas. “Daddy, you’re here!” masiglang bati ng anak, mabilis na yumakap sa ama nito. Knoxx’s face turned soft in an instant, marah

“So the girl is still alive?” she asked one of her men whom she tasked to do something impossible again tonight, eliminate the commoner Tala Eloise Sandejas. “Yes, my lady. It seemed like, she sensed me. She went back inside the palace quickly with Prince Knoxx,” said the one she’s talking to on the other line. With Prince Knoxx, she repeated inside her head, anger slowly rising from her chest. And here she thought that she’d already fixed that thing about the prince. She had seen how devoted he was with Genevieve for the past weeks. She thought that finally, her plan was progressing… and yet it seemed Knoxx was still secretly enamored with his commoner wife—fooling her and the world. She’d have to take a look into that tomorrow. She took in a sharp breath as she began to pace inside that secret bunk house near her house. She fell asleep there after she went home from the palace. She was waiting for someone important, one that has been helping her with her plans just recently. And

Ares was pacing inside his room. He was waiting for Knight to call him. He’s waiting for his report on something he had tasked him to do. When he received a call from Knoxx more than a month ago that he needs to come back home to help him unravel their family’s enemy, it was Knight who told him the details he had uncovered about their family’s mysterious enemy Apparently, their grandfather’s former nurse has been living in Casablanca under a different name for years now. That was the reason why they had a hard time finding her for years. The nurse confessed that on the night his grandfather died, she did not sleep intentionally on her chamber and forgot her duty. Someone spiked her tea and made her sleep all through the night. The next day, when the palace was in chaos with the death of the sovereign, the nurse was abducted and threatened that if she won’t leave the country, she will be dead in the next 24 hours. Fearing for her life, she took the next flight out of the country. Na

Tala’s heart was hammering against her chest as the private jet owned by her family prepares to make its landing on Manila. She initially thought of going home to her apartment in New York. But even the city she loved the most in the world would just wound her if she goes back there with her state. Knoxx had saved her and her son there. Though his presence there was brief, Knoxx had been there with them. His memories would just haunt her—hurt her. It’s not a good place for her to heal her broken heart. If she must move on, she must go to some place where she doesn’t share any memory with Knoxx or at least that’s what she thought she must do. And so, the next safest place she could be at is in Manila, in her father’s house to be exact.She huffed, trying to calm her racing heart as the plane finally mad a touchdown the runway. Nagsasalimbayan sa isip niya ang napakaraming isipin. Una na riyan ang magiging pag-uusap nila ng Daddy niya. She’s sure her dad would freak out when she and h

“Wow, you surely rode the crazy express huh?” komento ng pinsan ni Tala na si Charlie bago ito uminom ng juice na nakasilbi sa harapan nilang magpinsan. Nasa lanai silang dalawa sa mismong bahay ng Grandma Liza niya sa Tagaytay. She and Atlas ended up there matapos siyang pakiusapan ng abuela na doon na lang sila tumuloy sa bahay nito matapos nilang magtalo ng Daddy niya. She was already settled to staying at Gold Hotel for a few days o even weeks before she finally fix her work arrangements, subalit tumawag sa kanya ang lola niya—persuading her to stay with her instead. Kung paano nito nalaman na nakauwi na siya—silang dalawa ni Atlas, hindi niya alam. Their homecoming was a secret. But then again, wala naman talaga silang lahat na magkakapamilya na maitatago sa lola niya. Her grandmothe is the Sandejas matriarch, she knows everything concerning the clan. One could only imagine how far her influence can go. Sa totoo lang, ayaw sana niyang manatili sa poder ng lola niya dahil ayaw n

“How are you feeling? Nakatulog ba kayo ni Atlas kagabi? Hindi ba kayo namahay na dalawa?” umpisa ng Mommy ni Tala nang makarating sila sa kwartong tinutuluyan niya sa bahay ng Grandma Liza niya.She suggested that they’d talk there dahil sa ayaw man niya o hindi, they’d have that inevitable talk about her real identity now. The conversation is quite sensitive. She’d rather keep it just between the two of them.“We are fine, Mom,” she answered in a composed tone, trying to keep a level head.Tumango-tango ang Mommy niya, pilit na ngumiti. Maya-maya pa, niyuko nito ang isang brown envelope na hawak nito, sandali nito iyong pinakatitigan bago ito muling nag-angat ng tingin sa kanya.“I think you should see this,” kalmadong sabi nito bago inabot ang brown envelope sa kanya. She willed her shaky hands to get the envelope before she gently eased out its contents.Baby pictures and other documents. Iyon ang laman ng envelope. Sa nanginginig na mga kamay ay isa-isa niyang sinipat ang mga ret

Maya-maya pa, nagpunas ito ng luha ang Mommy niya. Maingat nitong inabot ang kamay niya bago ito muling nag-angat ng tingin sa kanya. “Remember when I told you that I grew up in an orphanage after my mom died and that I hadn’t known my biological father?” Kumurap siya, marahang tumango. Her mother had always been vocal about her background. Na ulila ito, laking bahay-ampunan at hindi nanggaling sa maalwang pamilya gaya ng Daddy niya. “About 15 years ago, unbeknownst to your Dad, I took the courage to finally look for him—my biological father. But sadly, nang mahanap ko siya, matagal na pala siyang wala.” Her mother paused, trying her best to compose herself. “You said last time that you were different from your siblings, that you make art instead of being overly achievers like them… just like your Dad.” Marahan nitong pinisil ang kamay niya. “My father’s name was Arnoldo Mancini and he was… a p-painter just like you, sweetheart. He had a small studio in Florence years ago before h

Tala slowly gave her reflection on the mirror a once over. On her was a black silk dress; an exquisite diamond necklace Knoxx had given her on their anniversary; and of course her favorite pumps produced by her very own brand, Stella. She tried, but she cannot help herself but smile. Why wouldn’t she, life has been so good to her for the past two years. After that heartfelt reunion she and Knoxx had at her parent’s house in Manila, she officially became Mrs. Stavropolous, again, that very same day. After her parents and the rest of her family came back from their quick tour at Asteri Island, that is. Hindi niya alam na sa buong panahon na asar na asar siya kay Knoxx dahil hindi ito nagpapakita sa kanya, pasimple na pala nitong hinahanda ang kasal nila with the help of her Auntie Sam and her parents. Yes, her parents did a great part on the display of ‘sea-of-roses’ inside their house. Her father proudly admitted that himself right after the wedding. Knoxx then had decided to move h

Tala's heart instantly hitched, turning around as quick as she could. And there she saw him, under the bright morning sun, just a few steps away from her, the prince who’ve swept her off her feet since their crazy wedding night, Prince Knoxx Iossif Stefanos Stavropolous. She quickly gave him a once over and he never disappoints! Her prince is as handsome as ever. He grinned, making her eyes roll in fake annoyance. Agad siyang namaywang. “Why are you here? And where are the people of this house? What did you to my parents, Knoxx? And Atlas, where is my son?!” sunod-sunod niyang tanong sa mataas na tinig. Knoxx gave her a heart-stopping smile, making her want to rush to him for a hug. But she stilled herself. She must not let logic falter now. They must talk. They must. “You don’t have to worry, mi bella. Everyone’s safe. And regarding your question, I came here to explain—“ “I already know everything. Everything,” she said, cutting his words. He paused and stared at her for a whil

“Arise, shine, Star Princess!” anang pamilyar na tinig ng Mommy ni Tala na siyang nagpagising sa kanya. She gently opened her eyes and the warmth of the morning sun coming through the big windows of her bedroom greeted her. Pasimple siyang nag-inat at umayos ng pagkakahiga sa kama. She saw her mother arranging another bouquet of pink Ecuadorian roses on the vase on top of the bureau inside her room. “Another one?” she asked, gently pushing herself to sit on her bed. Her mother smiled. “Yes, princess. Your husband doesn’t miss a day,” anang kanyang ina bago muling ipinagpatuloy ang pag-aayos sa mga bulaklak. Husband. She still can't believe that the arrogant prince made her go through all the tears and heartaches for nothing. Knoxx is still her husband or so her father had told her. These days, her parents are openly discussing about Knoxx, especially her Dad. And she is more than relieved to know that despite his absence, Knoxx is slowly making his way through her parents' hearts.
A Husband For The Wild Heiress Chapter 95: A Love Like No Other
Knoxx heaved a sigh as he stared at his phone, recalling the brief conversation he just had with Tala. Talagang ayaw pa rin talaga siya nitong kausapin. Well, with his wife’s temper he knew that the whole ‘getting-back-together’ plan he had in mind would surely be a feat. But that doesn’t mean he is giving up. He’s just… being considerate given Tala’s condition.Olivia had given her last night an earful of dos and don’t’s when it comes to dealing with pregnant women. At totoong nakinig siya. He clearly remembered how his bratty princess of a cousin reminded him over and over again that pregnant women must always have things their way. And that’s what he just did. Hopefully, that by giving in with Tala’s wishes for now, lumamig na rin ang ulo nito sa kanya at tuluyan na siyang kausapin pagbalik niya sa Pilipinas.Pagbalik niya sa Pilipinas.He sighed and put his phone back to his pocket. Pagkatapos niyon ay pinagmasdan niya ang royal ring sa kanyang palasingsingan. His Majesty gave it

“Yes, Genevieve seduced me and I gave in. I allowed her to fool me and get the better of me. I-I’m sorry,” said King George, still lying down on his hospital bed. Makahulugang nagkatinginan sina Ares at Knoxx, sharing the same gleam of anger in their eyes towards their enemies who had made them suffer for years. Kararating lang nila mula sa Pilipinas at doon sila sa ospital dumiretsong magkapatid. At first Knoxx was conflicted to leave Manila. Bakit hindi, inaayos pa niya ang gusot sa kanila ni Tala tapos aalis siya? If it wasn’t for his mother’s persuasion to go home, baka nagpa-iwan na siya. But he’s glad he did go home. Because if he didn’t, he would’ve missed the clan’s meeting and his Uncle George’s confession. Yesterday, they were informed that his Uncle George had already opened his eyes. But the doctors didn’t allow any member of their family to talk to him just yet. They had to make sure that the King’s condition is stable and that he is ready to receive visitors. It took a

“Ano pang tinatanga mo d’yan? I told you to leave, haven’t I?” gigil na singhal ni Tala kay Knoxx. She really cannot believe he’s inside her room right now, and lying on the bed with her, her very own bed! Nasa baba lang ito kanina a, kasama sina President Tuazon at Ares. Paanong naroon na ito agad sa kwarto niya? Pinaakyat na lang ba ito ng mga kaanak niya nang gano’n-gano’n lang? Imposible. Her Dad hated Knoxx’s guts noon pa. And she’s sure her father, hated Knoxx all the more after everything that has happened between her and her ex-husband. So how in the world was he there inside her room—comfortably sitting on her bed looking more handsome than she remembered? She tried to get her wits straight as she questioned herself. But all she could ever think were all the awful—morbid even- thoughts on how Knoxx ended up inside her room. She groaned inwardly as panic and anger instantly rose in her chest.Pagdating talaga kay Knoxx, ni minsan, hindi umayos ang huwisyo niya. Tumikhim si

The dinner was filled with formal talks about business, leading a country and current events. The topics were of his interest but when Atlas finished his food, Knoxx excused himself to spend more time with his son.They were by the receiving room, playing a race game on his son’s IPAD when Joshua approached him again, asking him to step inside the library. Agad siyang nagpaalam kay Atlas at nagsimulang maglakad pabalik sa library. He glanced at Ares who was walking towards the lanai with the rest of the Sandejas family and President Tuazon. His brother grinned at him and gave him a thumbs up. For what, he does not have any idea. Pagdating sa loob ng library, agad na nagsalita ang Daddy ni Tala. “There are three things you must know before we move forward from here. First, I hate you. That won't change even after a million years. Second, I still think you don’t deserve my daughter nor my grandson. Understand?” “I understand, Sir. And the third?” Sandali siyang tinitigan ni Joshua.
A Husband For The Wild Heiress Chapter 91: Promise 2
Knoxx had been in many difficult meetings and negotiations his entire life. He had been exposed to such since he was younger for he’s been born a leader, one who's supposed to see beyond the mist—composed, level-headed, sure with just about everything. But right there, in front of Tala’s parents, Knoxx felt like he has just been thrown in the water when he doesn’t know how to swim. Nangangapa siya at halos hindi niya alam ang sasabihin. If he’d be honest, his knees were shaking like a fckin leaf. Well, he should be. Noong huli niyang makaharap ang mga magulang ni Tala, nangako siya na iingatan niya ang mag-ina niya. And the events that had led them into that situation clearly proved, he had not been taking care of his family like he promised. He doesn’t even want to lie either or appear to be all righteous in the midst of the chaos. Because at that point, he knew, alam na ng mga magulang ni Tala ang mga nangyari rito sa pananatili nito sa Maritria. He cannot deny any of it. So he wan

“I dont’t know what got into your head and created trouble inside the hospital. Sa pagkakaalam ko, malinaw ang pagkakasabi ko kay Quint na galit sa inyo ang mga Sandejas,” sermon sa kanila ni Kylie habang ginagamot nito ang sugat ni Ares. Naroon sila sa isa sa mga treatment room sa emergency ward. A different doctor, a resident he presumed, was attending to Knoxx and dressing his wounds. “Bakit ako ang pinapagalitan mo? It was all Knoxx’s fault! I had warned him dozens of times—Ouch! Dammit! That’s hurts, Dr. dela Vega!” reklamo ng kapatid niya, panay ang ngiwi habang patuloy si Kylie sa pagdampi ng antiseptic sa sugatang mukha nito. “And it will hurt more if you’d continue complaining, Prince Ares!” gigil na sagot ni Kylie, patuloy sa pagdiin ng bulak sa mukha ng kapatid niya. Ares complained again, louder this time. Knoxx huffed. Why can’t his brother keep quiet? Hindi ba nito nahahalata na sa bawat reklamo nito, siya ring pagdiin ni Kylie sa mga sugat nito? Quint’s cousin surel
