"Daddy, Mommy looks so pretty today," told Kenzie with dreamy eyes and a smile not to be ignored.
She looked at her mother, and back to her father, waiting for an answer.
Ethan was dividing the chicken pops between the two kids when Kenzie remarked. It made him smile and look up to Samantha. He agreed, "Your Mommy is... always pretty."
It had only been recently that Ethan had been willingly and clearly expressing appreciation, and that was towards Samantha. No one else.
"Of course, they will always think that their Mommy is pretty," Samantha countered, trying to hide the blush on her face, but the truth was, she prepared for that special lunch.
She wore a dress she had not worn in years. It was one of her mother's dresses; a plain navy blue, ruffled sleeve dress with semi-plunging neckline.
Her wavy hair was down to her shoulders as usual, but that day, Samantha put on a little makeup over her face and wore her mother's pendant. <
It was because Ethan was leaving for a business trip on Friday, that he dropped by the condominium on a Thursday night. He only had a few minutes to spare, but he wanted to see the kids.He realized how the video conference calls did not satisfy his yearning.Ethan came in with treats for the children and a bouquet for Samantha.When Samantha opened the door for him, he handed her the flowers and said, "Good evening, Sam. They are for you."With a flushed face, Samantha pursed her lips and accepted the flowers. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Ethan. They are beautiful.""Daddy!" Kenzie was the first to run to him, this time jumping at him. She easily became secured in his father's strong arms."Kenzie! What if your Dad did not catch you? Don't do that again." Samantha scolded, nearly raising her voice."It's okay. I'll catch my little girl always," assured Ethan. "I got her, Sam.""Wow! Daddy, Mommy has flowe
Saturday 5:00 AM."Good Morning, Sam," Samantha heard Ethan's husky voice on the other line.She bit her lip, feeling a little excited at getting a call from him so early."Good Morning," she responded before clearing her throat."Did I wake you?" Ethan asked."Yes, but, it's fine. I have to prepare breakfast, anyway," Samantha answered. "How was your flight?"Last night, Ethan only sent her a message, saying that he arrived rather late due to a delayed stop in the Middle East while refueling.Ethan took a private jet, flying across the Pacific. He did not like sharing a space with other people, other than John and his executives."It was okay. It was boring as usual," declared Ethan. "I never liked long flights. On my next business trip, I'll take you and the kids with me."It was a cold morning, and the sun has not shone yet, following Ethan's words, Samantha felt her cheeks turning warm.Hearing
The time came and went.It was Tuesday, lunchtime, the day of Ethan's return to Braeton City.From school, Kenzie, and Kyle, together with Samantha, were on their way to the airport to meet Ethan.Ethan wanted to have lunch together, right after landing.Parking by the side of the runway, the children waited while seeing several airport officers go up and down the private jet.It did not take long for the children to see John Garcia stepping down, and they immediately knew their father would be the next.From inside the luxury car, Kenzie said, "Let's go out to meet Daddy!""Yeah, I want to meet Daddy as well," announced Kyle. "I want to see his plane!""Mommy!" Both of them pleaded."It's okay, Miss Davis, they can go off to meet Mr. Wright and they can see the plane if they wish to," said Edgar.Only after Edgar's suggestion did Samantha and the twins got off the car.&nb
"You know... you are like Mary Poppins' bag." Samantha pursed her lips, turning to Ethan before announcing, "You come in a bag, full of surprises."That made Ethan give out a genuine smile. He leaned over to Samantha and declared, "Speaking of surprises, you sure gave me the biggest... surprise in my life."Samantha chuckled and suggested, "Showing up, having two kids?""I suppose," with his business-like expression, he said while leaning sideways, maintaining the stare at Samantha.While munching on her popcorn, Samantha realized how rarely Ethan looked at the screen. She whispered, "You are barely watching.""I'm listening," Ethan answered.She glanced at him for a second and said, "You did not eat any of the popcorn.""I'm feeling all tired from the trip. I can't move my hands. Do you mind... feeding me?" Ethan said it so casually, it did not seem like he was making a move.It utterly made Samantha giggle while s
"Are we going home after this?" Samantha asked, realizing it was still nearly six in the evening."No, Sam... The night is still, young," Ethan responded. He then moved closer and whispered to her ear, "I have another surprise for you.""What is it?" She asked, turning to his athletic face.She nearly fainted, seeing Ethan's well-defined jaw-lines, and while she had seen this before, she could not help but appreciate it once more.Samantha found herself lost in Ethan's intense brown eyes as he glanced at her for a second. She heard him say, "It's a secret. We still have two itineraries for today."Ethan did not miss pinching lightly on Samantha's cheek before reaching for her hand.They wound up walking hand in hand, out of the cinema and to the lift. Still, the mall attendant was with them all the way.After the mall, Edgar drove them to the Wright Diamond Hotel where a few of the company's employees saw
Samantha wasn't sure why, but she was starting to feel nervous. She kept asking herself, 'Why are we going around this house?'She already had an inkling, especially after seeing the kitchen. Besides, what was the use of showing her such a beautiful kitchen if it was not for her? Moreover, the butler and the maids addressed them like they were a married couple.'Stop it, Sam! You are making assumptions!' She scolded herself right before Ethan showed her the master bedroom.When Ethan presented her with the biggest room in the mansion, she flushed outright. While she adored looking at the sizable bed, her mind was thinking of something else. She brushed away her thoughts and remarked, "Wow! I really am jealous of the bed."Sitting on the mattress, she remarked, "It must be... really comfortable to sleep on this bed."She immediately eyed Ethan's reaction and heard him chuckle for the first time that night. She thought, 'This man is hidin
"You told her about the kiss limit," reminded Ethan."I know. I hate it when they remember these things... my kids are just too sharp," Samantha responded before forcing Ethan's hands off her waist. She smiled and pecked on his lips again. "Let me get the kids.""Hmmmm," Ethan's typical response.Before letting Samantha go, however, he put a hand behind her neck and savored for one last kiss.His actions made Samantha chuckle as she forced herself free from Ethan's hold. She whispered, breathing against his lips, "I'll be back."While Ethan turned on the lights to the living room, Samantha walked in the direction of their bedroom.It did not take long for Kenzie and Kyle to walk back out with Samantha, both puzzled for the late evening wake-up call. Kyle was especially still sluggish."Hi guys," greeted Ethan while remaining to sit on the sofa.Kenzie went straight into Ethan's lap and said, "Hi Da
Once again, Samantha was under the watchful eyes of The Wright Diamond Corporation employees.The very next day, Ethan set up a meeting with his lawyers to draft the marriage agreement between him and Samantha.While Samantha took back her initial qualms to signing a legal document with Ethan, he still insisted.It was because he wanted Samantha to feel that she was in control in going into this marriage, that he went through with coming up with a legal arrangement.The company's CEO personally fetched Samantha from the lobby, together with John, Ethan's assistant.Like the last, they walked hand in hand, going to the lift and into the conference room.In front of Ethan's most trusted attorneys, he instructed, "Include in the marriage agreement all of her conditions.""Yes, Mr. Wright," both attorneys acknowledged alternately.Samantha nearly chuckled at what they were about to do, but since

Months after Samantha and Ethan had their honeymoon, they were back to their busy lives. With the second hotel in full operation, Samantha was now running five restaurants all in all. She now manned over two hundred chefs, requiring the promotion of two executive chefs. Ethan, on the other hand, was on the road to making his first Diamond Hotel outside the city. Ultimately, he wanted to make a hotel chain, keeping the Diamond brand. Kenzie and Kyle accelerated two years ahead, making them ready for high school after a year.While still young, both were fixated on their dreams and already had a map outlined for them to follow. Kyle wanted to be a computer engineer while Kenzie wanted to be a model or an actress. While the entertainment industry was not what Ethan dreamed for his child, he understood that he should not be in the way of his daughter's dream. He supported them by giving outside-of-school classes.
Many years had passed since Ethan and Samantha got married. Yet, Samantha's beauty remained remarkable at thirty-three. Her golden hair already grew down to her back, and she did not seem to have aged at all.She had her hair somewhat straightened, with just enough waves to give life to her still angelic face.It was thanks to Ethan's pampering that she always had time to take care of herself.Getting her hair and make-up done in front of a vanity table, she received compliments left and right."Mrs. Wright, you are so beautiful. Your husband must really adore you.""Mr. and Mrs. Wright are perfect for each other."Samantha smiled as they fixed her up. She said, "I am... confident about that too. We are a great pair."Still, it was because she was wondering about the dress she was about to wear that she asked, "Although the dress has Sapphire gems on them, does it look to you as a wedding gown?""No, no.
Another year passed."Winfield, do you take Sarah to be your wedded wife, to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, and forsaking all others, be faithful only to her, for as long as you both shall live?" The officiant asked.Looking into his wife's eyes, Winfield Davis answered, "I do."After the priest asked the same Sarah Davis, she smiled back at her husband and answered, "I do.""May your love be eternal and undying. In witness of your love and commitment, it is now my pleasure to introduce you to those present here as husband and wife. In honor of your entrance into holy matrimony, you may now kiss the bride," the officiant closed, encouraging Sarah and Winfield to face the crowd.Smiles could be seen between Winfield and Sarah as they officially remarry after a year of moving to their new home.Cheers and
"Following my years of service, I officially announce my retirement. It has been a memorable and challenging years, serving my country, but the time has come for me to give my attention to my lovely wife, Sarah, and to my daughter," Announced Winfield Davis as he stood in front of a podium.Flashes could be heard around the military stadium where many of the reporters were invited to witness the General's official statement as he stepped down being the head of the nation's armed forces.Finally, after two years of requesting from the government, Winfield was granted the chance to retire early and spend the rest of his time with his family."And with my official retirement, I am proud to reveal the next general to follow in my footsteps!" Added Winfield.The crowd cheered and gave their applause to the newly appointed general, who happened to be one of Winfield's trusted men.In the front rows, Samantha, Ethan, and thei
"Doctor? How is it?" Ethan asked after the doctor came back in with the results of Samantha's recent laboratories.The doctor sat on his desk and reviewed the documents. After a while, he answered, "Everything is normal, and it has been for more than a year now."With a smile on his face, the doctor added, "I suppose it's safe to say that the Kannareth disease will no longer manifest."While Samantha was pregnant, she had monthly laboratories done, just to keep her health monitored.Shortly after giving birth, they have switched to quarterly visits to the doctor, and thankfully, Samantha showed no signs of the Kannareth disease.The doctor scoffed and declared, "So the pregnancy may have really helped!""We think so, doctor. In fact, BNU pharmaceuticals are already looking into this angle." Ethan leaned back in his seat and told, "I have even funded their research so more women who are affected by this illness will find a solutio
Six months passed.Both Kaleb and Kate were growing up well. The twins were gaining weight fast as well.They were able to easily sit up with minimal support at six months, already able to play with their siblings, blabber, and giggle happily as they did."Crawl to me, Kate!" Kenzie called as she and Kyle were playing with their younger siblings from inside the nursery."And Kaleb, come to me!" Kyle encouraged.The four of them were inside a fenced area of the nursery, with floor mats and with stuffed toys and other toys fit for their age.Nearly every day, Kenzie and Kyle had made it a habit to play with their siblings in the afternoon. Their Mommy usually joined them whenever Samantha would get off from work early.Kate and Kaleb excitedly crawled in the direction of their siblings, racing as they giggled in thrill.With Kaleb's stronger built, however, he managed to arrive firs
"John, I'm taking a paternity leave for two weeks," Ethan told his assistant on the phone.He heard John Garcia's awkward response, "Ah, boss. Your family owns the company, so you don't need to ask permission."There was silence between them before Ethan said, "I know that, John. I am telling you so you can clear my schedule and do what you needed to do. As necessary, see me at home with important documents.""In any case, Dad will stand in for me," Ethan added."Yes, Mr. Wright, and congratulations on your babies! May I just say, I am very - very happy for you," said John.Putting down the phone, Ethan turned to his little man, sleeping in the hospital crib. He smiled, took Kaleb in his arms, and said, "Mommy will have to keep visiting your sister for some time... So I guess, you'll spend more time with Daddy for two weeks."Soon, Samantha came in with Sarah, being brought with a wheelchair. Samantha said, "I'm ready to go
2:00 AM at a private hospital. "Doctor, what's going on?" Ethan asked the hospital's resident' physician from inside a private room equipped for Samantha to give birth. "Mr. Wright, your wife's water broke. She will have to deliver the babies soon," told the doctor. Both of them spoke outside the room while Samantha and the babies were being monitored. "But the second baby is not ready yet," Ethan expressed, utterly concerned for his child. "Mr. Wright, sadly, there is no stopping this. It's because the first baby is already ready," the doctor told. "What we can assure you I that the babies will be given the best care and treatment." "Your second baby may need a machine to breathe while her lungs are still not yet fully developed. However, it depends. Base on your wife's records; she received steroids treatment. The baby's lungs may have developed in advance." The doctor shrugged and said, "We can only tell when the b
