I am sure of my decision. Decision to move from our old house. Luke and I are still married and I don't have to play house to house with him anymore.Seeing him with twins makes my heart melt. Melting for happiness because finally, what I thought could never happen in my whole life is now here. My rest is now before me."Mom, where is that house?" I smiled at Lucas' question. Lucia always sits on the side while putting her toys in a box."He's a bit close from here, but I'm sure you'll be interested." I answered him."Is that our house?" He asked me more so I nodded."Yes, our house." I smiled and continued to arrange things.Some time passed before we finished.Every time I look at Luke I can't stop laughing because of his behavior last night.He didn't think I could move into our house, he said he thought I didn't have that house in mind at the time so he quickly called Nanny Josefa when I said that so the house could be cleaned."What's funny?" Hearing Luke's voice brought me back
"Wife."I turned to Luke when he called me. It's six in the morning and I'm dressing in my home clothes."What?" I asked him. He watched my every move and smiled."I'm going to the company, I just need to sign something." I laughed at what he said."Really, Luke? You still need to say goodbye?" I smiled at him."Yes!" He answered me. "You're my wife, that's why." I laughed so hard that it almost filled the entire room."Did I say something funny?" He asked me while furrowing his perfect eyebrows."Nothing, it's just not your habit to tell me." His forehead furrowed even more at what I said.I ignored him and left the room. I caught up with Nanny Josefa who was washing rice and placed it in a rice cooker. "Oh, daughter. You woke up too early today." The old woman greeted me warmly.I gave her a smile before speaking. "Because I plan to cook Luke's and twins breakfast." My answer."Why, what are you planning to cook?" – Nanny Josefa."Fried tilapia and then I will also make soy sauce w
"I'm sorry, Princess." the woman said between her sobs. I have no idea who Anna is talking to, but from what I can see, they really miss each other. I left them again and decided to go inside the house. I told Nanny Loleng the scene I witnessed outside the house, so we served it on the table. A few moments passed and Anna came in wearing a wide smile on her lips while her eyes were puffy. "Elle, it's mom." I covered my mouth with my hand in shock. I didn't think it was Anna's mother who was hugging her. The lady's eyes wandered all over the house as if memorizing everything in it. "Hello." I'm embarrassed to say hello. "Elizabeth Mendez." She introduces herself and extends her hand as she shakes hands. “Elle, Elle Copley.” I introduced myself and she nodded at me. "I know you." She answered me so Anna and I looked at each other. "You're Salvador's daughter." The cursing in my chest grew more because of what she said. Why does
“Salve’s house?” I repeated and he nodded."I know that Salve's our enemy from the very start. I once heard that he was talking to someone on the cellphone and I think that was your Aunt Trisha." He still answered."And then?" I asked again."He knew that I knew something, but he still pretended like it was nothing." I hugged him tighter.A few years have passed and Luke is still going through something like this."I love you." That's all I told him. A light smile came from his lips and kissed me on my forehead."I love you too, Elle." He answered.Until the night came, Luke never left our side, we watched television, played a game with twins and laughed all around until our stomachs hurt from laughing.It was seven in the evening when the doorbell rang so Luke and I looked at each other. Luke shrugged his shoulders indicating that he didn't expect anyone to visit so I stood up from my seat before heading outside the gate.I smiled widely at what my eyes saw. "Brianna!" I shouted and
I woke up because of the bed shaking and someone giggling. I saw the twins jumping on the bed while Luke was still covered with a blanket.I looked at the clock and it was seven in the morning. I need to dress up to go to the office. I know that I will be overwhelmed with work if I come in later, especially since Kim will not be able to come in today.I shook my head slightly remembering what I heard last night.I hit Luke, who immediately deflected it."Good morning daddy." Lucas’ language."Good morning babies." Luke answered while rubbing his eyes."I need to take a shower. I need to go to the office now." I said to Luke and he looked at me carefully. "What?" He asked but she pouted."Can you just stay here?" He asked me."You look like a baby daddy, look at your mouth." Lucia said giggling."I'll go with you mom." Lucas' groin."Me too, mom." - Lucia.The twins and I looked at Luke who couldn't paint his face."Maybe you want to come too?" I asked Luke and he sighed."I also have
It's like fate is really testing us. A few weeks have passed and Luke and I have been busy at work.Leaving the house without even getting to play with the twins and often they are still asleep when Luke or I leave. I will come at night when the twins are already tired and asleep.Lucia has been excited to go for a walk a few times but Luke and I only made promises, while Lucas wanted to go to the National Book Store which we also couldn't grant.I won't be surprised if the twins feel sullen because of our busyness at work.I sat on the sofa in the living room before resting my head and looking up. Silence enveloped the whole house.A few minutes later, I heard a car parked outside and Nanny Josefa was the first to enter, followed by the twins."Mommy!" Lucia shouted.I waited for Lucas to see if he would come but he didn't. He just looked at me before going up the stairs and for sure he went to his room."Look at this mom." I looked at what she was teaching. She has five stars on her
LUKE’S POINT OF VIEWI don't know what to do with her. She keeps lying.When I thought about her and watched her, I have piled up a lot of work, my contracts are almost a mountain, but I haven't even started one.I woke up in my senses. What am I going to do with this girl?! She is my wife but I hate her. Why can she lie? She pushes me to my limits.I have also hired a maid to be with Nanny Josefa in delivering and picking up the twins because they have already entered school.She's Angela. Its face is sophisticated and if you dress it up, you'd think it's always going to the bar and have some fun there. They are best friends with Marie. The twins need a guard more and Nanny Josefa is not capable of guarding them or fighting when Salve's men move."What did Marie say?" Harold asked me.He's here at my office, sulking because Anna has always fought with him.Because there are things that they shouldn't know, but the ending has to be told to them because of their stubbornness. Don't fol
The bedroom door opened. Luke entered there bent down and directly took off his polo shirt and pants.I stood up and approached him. He's my husband so I'm going to finish lying to him for a few days."Hey." I grabbed his attention and hugged him. He didn't move, he didn't hug me back but left and he got out of my embrace.It is inevitable to feel disappointment."I'm tired, not now." Luke's words raised my eyebrows. He moved away from me and went to the bed and immediately lay down."Is there a problem?" I asked as his right arm rested on his eyes."Is there a problem?" I bit my lip when he repeated my question. He looked at me with no emotion so I came to him and sat next to him."I was the first to ask." I still calmly answered him.He didn't say a word so I leaned into his muscular chest and lightly caressed it accordingly. "I've been piled up with work, we've been too busy in the past few weeks. Do you want us to travel with the twins? We can't be with them for a long time either
"Did you see her at school?" My mom asked me. I just focus on my phone while scrolling on Facebook."Yup." I answered boringly.“Did you see her as a woman–”"Mom here we go again, I don't like her, so stop pushing me to her. I don't like her, she's too cool and noisy. She likes a stalker so please mom, tell her mommy to tell Elle that even if it's for a few days or at least she's going to stalk me–” She patted me on the head."Are you deaf? Elle is kind and beautiful. I have no other woman to accept besides her. Starting today, you will take her to their house."“Mom–”"That's an order, so please. If anything happens to her, it's your fault!” After saying that, she turned her back on me and left the kitchen.I dropped my spoon on the plate. Ever since school started, I've been bringing her to their house on purpose because that's what Uncle Salvador said. So who am I to say no? And damn, my mother said, how can I continue with my plan to stop her from being delivered to them?When yo
Elle's POVWe arrived at exactly 3AM at the hospital. Luke's hand was shaking. That's why I hold his hand and squeeze it."Your hands are shaking, can you please calm down? Leo said he's okay now." I was shaken by Luke's actions.“I just–”"I just what?" I cut off what he had to say.I know that he hasn't been with his father for a long time but I never thought that he would react like this. While on the way, he never stopped telling the story of everything that happened.I just listened to him the whole ride, and even though I wanted to react to what I learned and what happened then, I couldn't do anything.Besides what happened and all that is in the past.And I think this is the final chapter of our story."He's inside but he still doesn't wake up." Luke's face couldn't be painted by Leo's words."I'll take care of it Leo, you can go home now. Thank you.”"Just one call." I nodded at what Leo said. I opened the door and went inside.We brought him to the VIP Room so that he could l
Luis' POVHe's smart, my grandson is a smart kid. He took his father's wisdom.I know Luke's getting angry with me when he sees me here. I met Trisha in the prison where I was assigned. I'm the one who makes her flee for some reasons, instead of her hiring someone else to do her plan to do bad things for my son, Luke's family, I'm the one who agreed to get her out of jail.I will end up with a woman like her.I will not make the same mistake in the past where I almost killed his wife. Salvador ordered me to do that to his own daughter. How cruel is he? That was the mistake I made and that day when Luke saw my face and he let me leave, I left all the property with him, especially the company. He even gave me money even though he knew I had a lot of money.I even started what I wanted. It was not my plan to run the company before, I really wanted to be a police officer and because of the late Mr. Copley, I need to take care of it and leave behind my dreams to become a policeman.That's
Luke's POV We left immediately at the unit, with me Harold and also Kevin. In fact, we don't know where to start looking but I know they haven't gone far. It's either they're still here or they've left. But how will Trisha do that without Salve's help? I glanced at my phone I was holding. Aunt Elizabeth's name flashed on the screen, I answered it immediately and her deep breathing caught my attention."I'll text you the address, Trisha has a lot of staff so don't go alone." "Where are you! Come back! It's too dangerous–" "I'm okay. I'm hiding. Come quickly!" She said and ended the call. We immediately got into the car and wasted no time heading to the place she texted me. It is a remote and isolated place. The trees are almost passable and I can't fathom the idea that there is another person behind all of this. Trisha would not have been able to take such a step if she had no other help. If it wasn't Salve then who?Leo's POV I walked closer to the gate where Trisha's staff was
I woke up with all the lights off in the room and only the lampshade on the side serving as light. I glanced out the window and it was dark outside.I slept too long and didn't realize it was night. I was still holding my stomach that was growling due to hunger.I was about to stand up when the door opened and the light came on. My eyes narrowed due to the glare and eventually I saw Luke standing as he approached the bed. It carries a tray containing food.“Dinner in bed?” I was shaken by what he said."That's right, I just woke up and my stomach is already churning." I answered and sat down. "You're preferred huh?" I'm still laughing because it has a small table laid out on top of the bed."Always, my wife." I was shaken by the answer. "Just for you." He went on to say that this is why I'm secretly excited because if I reveal it and he sees that I'm excited and affected by what he's saying, he'll definitely laugh at me.The ending is that I was just annoyed by his perfect face by cha
Luke's POVLooking at her sleeping sound and sleep make my heart flutter, she still affects me. Why did I end up being his husband?Our parents are friends and because they are friends, they pushed us both to work out.At first I didn't see her as a woman. She used to be naughty and pay too much attention. But when I confront her that she is making too much of a scene in her life which is not what I want, I want my life to be private and it depends on me who I talk to.Mom, what to be Elle is my priority especially when I go home. I still have to send her to there house instead of being able to go home early and rest.But one day because of annoyance I didn't bring her home. That time she called me so many times but luckily I answered one of her calls.She's on the run because someone tried to grab her, she almost got raped and that's where it all started. That's when she started avoiding me. Yes she said thank you that day but the next day she also started avoiding me. I was so mad t
I was standing here on the veranda. Drinking cold milk and overlooking our wide yard.One week had passed and we were back at our house. All is settled, everything is back to normal.There is no calamity to think about tomorrow.You just need to wake up in the morning, do our stuff and that's it. Since it was Saturday, I also thought that the twins would go back to school again.Dad and Aunt Elizabeth are still here. They were here for a month before they decided to fly to America next month. I didn't object because it was their right, it was their happiness and I am happy that I have a brother.Daddy won't be alone anymore, he has a new family and I'm happy for that. I am also happy to see my father healthy and strong so I will give them their freedom. Even if I wanted them to come home and stay here, there was nothing I could do about it.Sashalyn? I'm happy for her. She finds her happiness with Doc. Andes. Sashalyn has also received a donor for her eye. Now they are taking care of
Luke's PovI woke up and saw a white ceiling. I can't feel my arms and legs but you can barely move my head."Luke." Hard voice of someone.I couldn't face it directly but I could feel footsteps approaching."He's awake! Thank you God!" The words of a woman."Does anything hurt?""Call the doctor, Eliz."After saying that, Aunt Elizabeth came out.He is crying now while looking at me. Salvador Lindsay is in front of me who you think is a child because of crying.I smiled at him then he chuckled."I thought you wouldn't wake up. I'm not crying because of you. I'm crying because if Elle finds out about your condition, she might stop talking to me and hate me."I tried to talk but I couldn't. My mouth didn't open and it was as if the words I wanted to say we're just stored in my brain."You can't talk right now because of the drugs that were injected into you. It's good that you remembered us." He said laughing while wiping his tears.I stared at the ceiling and thought of my family.How
My mind and heart are tired. I was tired of thinking but I focused more on the twins and Eli. I was watching them play on the ground. It's been a month. We have been staying here for a month I believe and trust that he is okay and will come back to us. I also avoided asking because I didn't get anything either. I went to the kitchen and got some fruit from the fridge. I peeled the apple and cut it accordingly. I have also peeled an orange and grown grapes. When I finished, I came out of the kitchen again and put the fruit on the center table. "Thank you, mom." Lucia said smiling. Eli just quietly picked it up and smiled at me. I hope that my father and Aunt Elizabeth were okay. That they are alive and find Salve so they can come back and be with us. I was about to eat the apple I was holding when I heard a noise outside when suddenly we heard gunshots from outside. I quickly approached the children and hugged them. "Fuck! What are those?! C'mon get up!" Kevin helped us to sta
