It was nine o'clock in the morning when She woke up. She's currently preparing her breakfast at the table, She didn't see Mommy Carmela and Lilet and she've been looking for them for a while, maybe they went grocery shopping again. "Good morning Ms. Dahlia," a young woman greeted Her. The face is unfamiliar, maybe it's a newbie. She has has long curly hair and brown skin. I think She is. in its twenties. "Good morning too. Can I ask a question?" She smiled and immediately nodded at her. "Did you see my mother and Mommy Carmela?" She kept asking. "I saw them left this morning around eight o'clock, maybe they went shopping. Mrs. Monte Cristo asked me to take care of you when you wake up. I'm sorry I didn't approached you right away, especially cooking your breakfast. I just finished watering crops." The woman explained, Dahlia smiled at her, she remembered when she was like the woman in front of her. "It's fine, what's your name?" she asked again. " My name is Sarah, Ms. Dahlia
Travis POV When he heard that his wife was still not pregnant, he suddenly lost the desire to talk to her as well as doing his job. He's currently in his office, has a lot of work to do but he's not in the mood to do it. He was very disappointed, he was hoping that after their outing his wife will bear a child. He doesn''t know how long they have to wait. How many more years until Dahlia and him bear a child? What other way? They have done everything. "Sir, Mr. Cruz is here looking for you." Travis looked at his secretary. He nodded to indicate that the visitor must enter. His secretary left and later Mr. Cruz was inside in his office. "Good afternoon Mr. Monte Cristo," the man greeted. "Good afternoon. Please have a seat, Mr. Cruz." he pointed his hand in front of his office table. Mr. Cruz sat down immediately. "I'm just here to congratulate you, my fellow investors liked your proposal last time," he then said. "Thank you, Mr. Cruz," he answered. "They are requesting t
The next dayTravis went back to his office to work on all the papers piled up on his desk. He piled up with work today, that's why he's cramming right now. He shoud finished it all because later they have a photoshoot. He also hung out in his office for a few hours and worked. His secretary also served him some snacks but he didn't touch them. When it was time for lunch, that's when he finished. Their photoshoot is at 1pm later. His secretary again served his food for lunch. His secretary was surprised when she saw that he hadn't touched his snack and just shook her head. He thanked her before she left his office. He opened his food and gulped it down. He was happy because the dish was pickled. There was as much Filipino cuisine here near their building. Travis smiled when he saw it, He also miss home cooked food. Since he came here to New York, he only eat burgers, pizza, and canned foods. It was early afternoon when they went to the venue where they were going to do a photo shoot.
I know that telling the truth to Dahlia is very important especially since we are far from each other. I'm sure she'll just overthink it and get jealous, I'm not even around her to explain everything to her. I don't want to ruin our relationship again, especially since we just fixed everything... I also have to be careful about what I'll say to her. Yes, I'm a little disappointed because we haven't had child. But it doesn't mean that I will repeat my mistakes before. I was so stubborn and cold to her. Maybe I'll just say this when I'm in the Philippines, after all, Emery and I just ate as a friend. Maybe Emery and I won't see each other anymore because she's done with her work to my company. As I've said, last night she can go out here in New York if she wants to. I am currently typing my paper works. There's a lot piled up, especially now that the photoshoot is over. Reports and presentations are the only thing missing. Tomorrow I will be presenting our project to the investors. Aft
Instead of calling Dahlia last night, Travis didn't. With so much thinking and his conscience was eating him up, he couldn't't sleep well. He was looking at his laptop, whether to call Dahlia or not. When he was with Emery his guilt always increases. Damn! It was really wrong for him to cling to that woman. He tried his best to avoid her but his body surrendered "If you didn't feel sorry for her, this might not have happened... See, that woman will always be pestering you," said his mind or conscience. He slapped his face and looked in the mirror. It was 3A M in the morning and his spirit was still wide awake. Wtf. He still has a lot to review for his report tomorrow. Travis took the paperwork and reviewed all of them. He has to make it perfect so that he can finally went home early. He misses his wife and he'll make it up to her. They will start a new life without bitterness and all. His review was interrupted when someone knocked on his door. He was frowning, who's knocking o
When Travis finished fixing Emery's sink, he bid goodbye to her. "I am done fixing your sink, I want to go home now," he said while fixing himself. "No! I mean, stay here please. I should give you a snack." Emery quickly took the dish that Travis thought was carbonara. Wow did she cook again? Emery really knew how to cook already, he was amazed. Emery really changed. Emery handed it to Travis and he took it from her. Travis tasted it and suddenly his eyes widened. "Is it delicious?" she asked. Travis nodded but his wife's cooking was still much better though. Travis just continued eating and ignored her. "Hm. Aren't you and your investors going to celebrate later?" That question made him frown. How did she know it? Emery saw his forehead creased and laughed softly. "Mr. Cruz told me and he invited me there," she continued. "Ah, is that so," he answered boringly. "I am your friend, Travis. Whatever I feel for you, I'm holding it back. I also promised Dahlia that I won't
Travis stretched out on his bed, he held his head because it suddenly throbbed. It hurt so much that he felt dizzy. Eventually it disappeared. Travis was very surprised when he realized that this was not his room and that he was also topless, wearing only a boxers. He felt someone move next to him. He looked and it was Emery. Shit! What happened? He quickly left her room and entered his condo. He washed his hand over his face and pulled his hair. Get a grip, Travis! What did you do last night?? He didn't remembered what happened last night, thinking of it, his head hurt more and more. Oh God! Dahlia will kill me because of this.The only thing he did was to fix his things. He hardly bother putting his things away. He had to go now! He glanced at his laptop and wanted to call Dahlia but he didn't. Travis decided not to tell her that he's going home because he want to surprise her. Travis smiled to himself, maybe that would make her happy. She loves surprises. But despite that, suddenl
After a minute Travis and Dahlia let go of each other. Travis's face became serious. "Love, I'm really sorry." Dahlia's smile disappeared and was replaced by surprise. "W-Why? Why are you sorry? Did you do something wrong?” she asked him and began to cry.Oh God! Travis really love his wife!"No, I just want to say I'm really sorry for all the pain that I've caused you. I didn't mean to be cold and hurt to you. Because of my envy and insecurities, I hurt you. I was only thinking about myself and I didn't think that my wife was hurting too. Honestly speaking, I blamed you, but I was all wrong. It's not your fault that we haven't had children yet and neither of us are to blame. Maybe it's not really the time yet and we will wait for it. We will wait together when God will grant us and that is to have a child. I love you, Dahlia. And I can't see anyone more than you."Travis saw his wife crying. His heart softened because of what he saw and he immediately wiped it with his two hands. "
Princess Dahlia Sofia I sighed as I stared into a large mirror, looking at my reflection. I smiled when I saw a smiling figure behind me. She's so beautiful in her white gown. “How is our Bride? You seem nervous, ah," she smiled at me and I shook my head. "It's like I'm getting married for the first time." I shook my head. She held my arm and our eyes met. "Just relax, Best Friend, okay? This is your special day so enjoy it. You're so beautiful right now, you're going to hit me hard," Emery told me with a laugh. It's been a few weeks since she recovered from the shooting. I thought she would disappear from our lives but I am glad because she still fought even in critical condition. "Thank you for being here at my wedding and now, you are my maid of honor." I winked at her so she laughed at me. "I am very happy because everything is going to be okay. I knew to myself that you and Travis were meant to be in the first place but you know I'm crazy...It's all my fault--" "Le
I escorted Dahlia and the children out first to make sure they were safe. As for those women, we gave them towels and blankets to somehow cover their naked bodies. When they got out, the police and NBI came. I quickly returned to the house and looked for Emery. I heard crying in the distance so I followed it. My eyes widened to see a man kissing a woman. It has been put on but it still has a cover. I quickly pulled that man away from the woman. Damn! This person is a pig and evil! I didn't notice that the man was different. I thought Mr. Ronaldo but it's different. I felt a focus on my head so I immediately stopped punching the man. When I saw the man I punched, I immediately frowned because it turned out to be Mayor Gregorio. What the actual fuck? Does the Mayor also have anything to do with this? I shook my head. "Looks like you're strong enough, son, you've been able to track us down here. Where is the five billion I sent you? Did you give it to my staff?” asked Mr. Ronald
Travis I'm excited to go to my wife Dahlia's house, because today is our bonding time. Today is Saturday and today is our bonding time as a family. Dahlia also told me that she has something important to tell me. I don't know but I am so excited, maybe she will say yes to me. Just dream once and I'll make it happen. In fact, I really want us to be in the same house but I don't want to lead my wife's decision. As long as possible, she will be the one I'll follow, because she might resent my asking her to live under the same roof. Dahlia said I was too excited, she didn't even answer me yet. As much as possible, I am careful with what I say and what i want. I don't want to turn her off and commit a sin again or be unpleasant in her eyes. I am so conscious because of my wife. I love her so much and I don't want to lose her from my life. I smiled widely as I drove to their mansion. I also need to make up for the children because I was busy looking for the Congressman and planning t
"Love, Mommy is looking for you, she said she wants to see you, is it okay for me to pick up the children from the mansion and bring them home? Just go past them since Mommy is looking for you, she says she misses you," Travis said on the other line. I was currently at work when he called me. A few days passed when we arrived in the Philippines. "Okay, have you heard from Emery yet?" I asked. I heard his sigh when I asked him that. "Not yet, love. I can't contact her either. I am worried for her and for her daughter." Emery hasn't come home to her condo for a few days so as a friend we are also worried about her. We are also taking care of the evidence we gathered against Emery's father but the problem is there's no witness. Oh I forgot, there's one and it's Emery. Emery is the only one who can imprison his father. "Don't worry, I'll get help from my staff as well as Mom and Isabella's staff. We will find Emery and Emmeren.” "Thank you, Dahlia. The child has become too close t
I took a deep breath and smiled. Mom, Isabella and I were already fine. I don't want to harbor anger towards them, I don't want to be stressed. I love them so much and they were my only family so I can't stand the fact that we had an argument... Yes, I was hurt but the pain made me more mature. I learned to forgive and understand the people around me. I've been looking for Travis since this morning, he didn't show up. Where was that man, I also need to talk to him so that when we get home we will both be okay. I'm ready to face him and I'm ready to fight those person who destroyed us both. I looked around the palace but still nothing, I frowned when I saw Mom talking to Travis. I was suddenly felt nervous, I didn't expect them to talk. I hope Travis isn't nervous too, I chuckled. The nervousness was evident on Travis's face. It's really obvious on his fac, seems it's like he's going to poop. I immediately walked closer to them and smiled when they saw me. "It looks like you
"Mommy, are we going to the Philippines? Daddy said, we're going home," Mathilda asked sadly. "Yes baby, we're going home, Mommy has a lot of work to attend in the Philippines. We will live there with Daddy," I explained. I don't know where Travis is, he suddenly disappeared from the twins' room. This is where he slept and I was in my old room. My night was peaceful because Tristan and I were okay. I don't know why I can forgive him so easily. Maybe I don't feel that bad about him. "Matthew, have you seen your Daddy?" I asked my son who was currently playing on his tablet. He immediately stopped playing and looked at me. "I didn't see him, Mommy." I just nodded and exited the room, when someone peeked at our door. It was one of Queen Isabella's servants, if I was not mistaken. “Good morning, Princess Sofia. The Queens are here," she politely said so I nodded. I straightened myself up and waited for Mom and my sister. "Your Abuela is here, greet them okay?" I reminded t
Here we are inside the dining table with Travis, Tristan, Isabella, Mom and Tristan's parents. I just laughed at my excessive plasticity. I don't know how I was able to smile and mingle with them when I was hurting. Isabella's face was also awkward, she couldn't even look at me. "Son, why didn't you tell us you were coming home?" Mom asked me so I turned around. "I want to surprise you all, but I was the one who was surprised," I promised him with a laugh. I know that Tristan's parents understand Tagalog because as far as I know, his mother lived in the Philippines for several years. They didn't even laugh at what I said so I coughed. “The wedding is on Sunday, are you going to attend, Princess Sofia? And who's that boy beside you? Is that your boyfriend?” the queen asked me so I turned to Travis. The man who looked at me was restless. I knew he was nervous so I held his hand under the table. I smiled at him, I wanted to calm him down. "He's my husband," I answered the queen with
When we arrived in Spain, we immediately hailed a taxi, I immediately put on a cap and sunglasses because someone might recognize me. When we entered, Mathilda immediately came running and I just shook because of her veil. I don't even know who inherited it, Travis and I are not talkative. "Mommy, can we tell Abuela and Tita Isabella that we are already here in Spain?" Mathilda asked me and I shook my head. "No, honey. We will surprise your Abuela, you want that, right? You like surprises.". It nodded at me and clapped. "I can't wait to finally introduce my Daddy to them, right 'Tus?" Mathilda asked her sister. He just nodded to him as a sign of agreement.Matthew always nodded to his brother. My son is also funny sometimes. Always spoiling her sister, even if she doesn't want to, she will do it anyway, not only to disappoint and make my daughter sad. That's how Travis used to be to me, he just changed when Emery came back into our lives. "You don't seem okay,"I took a deep brea
Until now, what Travis said to me is still in my mind. Are we still married? Is he just fooling me or what? This man is also annoying sometimes, because I ask him questions and he never gets an answer. He said we should talk about it when we get home to the Philippines. I'm itching to know why we're still married. Did I think I was free from him? Not yet. You'll just get really pissed off. If only we weren't inside the plane, I would have scolded him earlier. "You better go to sleep first, let your mind rest." I turned to him and tormented him.“I can't sleep, it's your fault! How are we still married? Are you fooling me again?” I asked him. He took a deep breath and shook his head. "You better take care of your problem there in Spain first. Even if you don't say it, I know you have a big problem. John also told me the reason," he softly promised me. It was enough for me to hear his voice. Our twins are currently sleeping, they can't be woken up because it's so disgusting when they
