Isaac POV Bettany's figure has already disappeared at the back of her door but I'm still standing here in front. I'm holding a small wrapped box that she gave me a while ago. My curiosity told me to open it but as I promise Bettany I would wait for her instruction when I could open it so I controlled myself. I'm surprised when she greeted me with a Happy Birthday earlier, I didn't tell her my birthday on purpose. I couldn't remember when the last time I celebrated it but since I meet Bettany, I'm looking forward to it for the first time celebrating it with her but unfortunately, she is not available. I'm going to ask her earlier to have dinner with me and celebrate it but I got disappointed when I heard her tell me she couldn't be with me for breakfast and dinner. I thought my birthday will be different this year but I was wrong. I'm still happy though that she knows that tomorrow is my birthday even though I'm not the one who told her about it, it seems that I am already important to
ISAAC POV I was too occupied with my work that I didn't realize the time passed by. I find my phone hoping Bettany has already messaged me from the morning coz I'm missing her already. When I check it there was no message at all. She didn't inform me if she has arrived safely at her parent's place. Is she, that busy that she couldn't even send me a single message? I dialed her number; I badly wanted to hear her voice. It rings repeatedly but there's no answer at all. My mood dampens immediately. Now I'm so disappointed, is it so hard to answer my call? I'm starting to sulk at my table when Jeff comes to my side and reminded me of my meeting. "Mr. Jones your meeting is about to begin in a few minutes". Jeff politely reminds me. "Hmm, I'll be there. Is it my last schedule for the day? I asked Jeff just to make sure. "Yes, Mr. Jones after this meeting you are free to have dinner with your sister Avery". I just nodded to Jeff and he left my room. I couldn't help myself but think about
Bettany POV "Princess, are you tired? Isaac asked me after everyone left. Avery left with her parents and Isaac's best friend. Tamara also went home; I and Isaac are the only one left behind. "Not yet, why? I smiled at him. "Can you accompany me for a ride? he gently asked me with his hopeful eyes. "Sure, where are we going? I agreed with him. "You will know". he answered me mysteriously. We went out of his place and went down to the parking where his car was parked. He drives us to the road and I'm still clueless about where we were going. I observed the scenery that we passed by but I'm not familiar with it and couldn't still figure out where our destination is. After a few minutes were already outside of the town. "Isaac, where we off to? I couldn't help my curiosity and ask him. "You will know when we get there, patient princess". he just smiled at me. "Fine, by the way, did you like our surprise? I stared at him expectantly. "I don't like it princess but I love it. I did
ISAAC POV I slowly open my eyes and realize I'm all alone in the blanket on the sand, Bettany is not on my side and nowhere to be seen. I didn't realize I fall asleep on her lap. I still couldn't believe Bettany is already agreed to be mine. This is the best gift and most memorable one I received on my birthday. I scan the area along the beach and I found my girl standing near the water looking ahead at the ocean. My heartbeat becomes fast just by the view of my girl standing there like a water goddess. Her long wavy hair moves every time the wind blows, and a visible smile on her beautiful face, I could feel the warmth in my heart at this view. How I wish every time I open my eyes in the morning what I can see, is her face. It's still dawn and the light in the sky is slowly peeking on the horizon. The blue and clear sky are now mixed with the orange effect of the sunlight rising. I slowly approach Bettany in the back and wrapped my arms around her. She looked at me with some emotion
Isaac POV After my short trip with Bettany on the beach, I didn't feel tired at all. I don't feel sleepy at all, instead of sleeping in my bedroom, I went to my study room to work. I still have time before our dinner later. I need to finish some work before I went back to New York. My attention in the headquarter in New York is needed, this time I need to spend a whole month out there. When I realize I'll be gone a long time I felt sad and uneasy. My relationship with Bettany is just begun but here I am going to be away from her for a month. I want to invite her to come with me but I know her well, she will decline it immediately coz of her work here. She's just a workaholic like me sometimes and I got jealous of her work. She's having more attention to it rather than to me. I woke up at my thought when my phone rang. Ring...Ring... "Hi, Bub". I could hear the excited voice of my sister on the other line. "Yes, what's the matter? why did you call? I ask her straightforwardly. "Can
Bettany POV Days and weeks passed and I felt even more happier with my relationship with Isaac. For a long time, I'm always praying that someday I can be with the person who's willing to spend his time with me. It could be on a happy day or a bad day. I want to share my everything with that person. Till now I couldn't still believe I'm in romantic relations with Isaac. Every day when I opened my eyes, I always ask myself do I deserve him. I'm just an ordinary woman who fell in love with him. I told him we could take it slow but what happen these past few weeks I don't think we're in a slow phase. I already meet his parents and he meet my parents though were not official at that time yet. Like Ryle and Tamara's advice to me, I need to avoid being an over-thinker person. I need to learn how to go with the flow, enjoy, and embrace every moment that is happening with us. This is my first official relationship and I don't want to mess it up. I know I'm still lacking in some areas, but I ma
Isaac POV When we arrived at the restaurant, I heard a familiar voice call my name. This is the voice that I'm not looking forward to hearing again. She is the biggest nightmare of my life. When I turned around to see this woman, I controlled myself not to burst into my anger. I didn't even realize that I'm holding Bettany's hand tightly. When I looked at Bettany I could see in her eyes that she has some questions to ask but I'm not ready to answer them yet. I requested her to come with the waiter to our table and wait for me there. She just nodded and let go of whatever she was going to ask. I'm glad that she understands me at that moment. After Bettany left, I went outside and Livy followed me out too. She was staring at me and after a second she spoke. "Isaac, can we talk? Who's that woman? I heard Livy ask. "It's none of your business, what do you want Livy? I don't have anything to talk about with you." I said straightforwardly. "Isaac, I know am wrong about what I've done to
Bettany POV Being overjoyed sometimes made someone anxious. The feeling that all your happiness will not make last longer than you thought and when you close your eyes everything will just evaporate to nowhere. That's what I'm feeling right now. When I heard what Isaac told me, I felt my surroundings got darken. The smile on my face gradually faded away. "Princess, I need to fly back to New York tomorrow". Isaac said and looked at me sadly when we were having dinner at his place. I felt sad at the same time but I didn't show it to Isaac. "How long you will be gone? Instead, I asked him how long he will stay in New York this time. "A month or so, some problems in the headquarters occurred and my presence is needed there so this time my stay there will be long but as soon I'll finish, I'll fly back here". when I heard that he will be gone for that long I felt alone again, that time I couldn't control myself and my smile faded. "Oh, is Avery going back with you as well? I asked him s
Bettany POV It’s been four years since our lives changed completely. After I wake up in a coma, I focus on my rehabilitation to recover my strength easily. Isaac has been on my side every step of it. He didn’t leave me no matter how I assured him that I was already okay and I had fully recovered after two months of my rehabilitation. I come back home where my little bundles and our whole family waiting for me. They gave me a warm welcome once again. Tamara and Bryan are now married and have a 2-year-old daughter Amelie. Ryle and Hannah also have a 1 one-year-old daughter Ria and a 3-year-old son Matt. Avery and Dallin are now engaged and they will get married next year. Alice and Ian have another 3-year-old son Xander and Baby Zoe is 12 years old now. My family and friends are getting bigger and bigger now. We’re happy that everyone is happy with their own life. Everything is falling into its place and no one is behind. “Momma”. Aki ran towards me crying. “Hey, what’s wrong little
“Why are you crying like a baby, love? I suddenly heard a familiar and hoarse voice when I looked up at my wife. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My wife stared at me with pain on her face. She's trying to lift her hands but I can see how she's struggling. I woke up from my stupor and rang the bell to call the nurse and doctor. "How are you feeling, princess? Do you need anything? I asked and wiped my tears discreetly. I couldn't describe how I'm feeling right now. It's kind of overwhelming that finally, my wife came back to us. "Water, love". she uttered dryly and I got up for water and assisted her in drinking. I shifted our sleeping twins to their crib beside my wife's bed and Dr. Pierce arrived with his assistant in no time. "Mrs. Jones, finally you awake. How are you feeling at the moment? Dr. Pierce said to check up on my wife thoroughly while I'm standing and watching from the side. I couldn't even blink my eyes because I was afraid that if I closed my eyes and opened th
It’s been six months since my wife gave birth to our little bundles and it’s been six months that my wife is not on our side. She’s still in a coma at the hospital but she’s not in the ICU anymore we shifted her to the VIP room already. She can breathe now on her own without the machine’s help. Dr. Pierce said that all her vitals are getting good and all we can do now is to wait for her to wake up on her own. It’s been six months since my life changed totally I fight the battle where I’m not sure I could win. I can’t give up without a fight that's all I can tell myself. I handed the full authority to all my business temporarily to my sister. I needed to focus on my family, I couldn’t leave my wife’s side and our little bundles needed me. I need to be stronger for them. I will make sure that the time will come when my family will be complete and happy once again. Aki and Amell are very active now. They can crawl and start to babble some baby words. My family lives with me temporarily
Isaac POV The moment I heard the cry of our baby I couldn't explain how happy I felt inside. This is the moment my wife and I've been waiting for the few past months. Our little bundles can finally see the world. I’m so delighted to see both of them and hold them in my hands. But the happiness I’m feeling right now didn’t last long. I can feel something weird is happening to my wife from the way she’s talking to me. “Love, get our little bundles, make sure you will take care of both of them. Love them the way you love me. I’m tired now I think I need a rest. I love you always and forever, remember that”. my wife said and I realized her eyes were shutting slowly I panicked when I heard the unstable sound of the machine. I handed the twins to the nurse without care for anything else but my wife. “Princess, hey, Dr. what’s happening? I said trying to talk to my wife but she was not responding. The delivery room now is in chaos and I don’t know what’s exactly happening to my wife. “Mr.
“Ah, Ah”. We’re on our way to the hospital and I’m trying to endure the pain and hide it from Isaac but I can't, when the contractions hit me I can’t help but just scream in pain. I know Isaac must be worried right now but I can't help it. “Princess, inhale, exhale we’re near in the hospital now. Everything will be alright. I’m sorry I made you feel this way, we’re not going to have kids anymore after this just hold on, okay we’re near, we’re near now”. Isaac said, but in every word, he said now I don’t care about it anymore at this moment. All I care about now is the pain to go away I’m feeling and seeing my little bundles. Finally, we arrived at the hospital and Dr. Pierce was already on standby. They pushed me into the delivery room and I’m scared now. I hold tight to Isaac’s hand, I need him inside the room to be my strength. “Don’t worry, princess. I’m not going anywhere I will be with your side to welcome our little bundles. Don’t be scared I’m only here and any minute now we
It’s been a while since we knew we were having twins. From the day we revealed the gender of our little bundles our family didn’t stop giving us a gift for the twins. Isaac decided that we needed to shift to a bigger place since we were now having a kid. He bought a house near to my parent’s place and we already shifted thereafter a month after our gender reveal. We started decorating the rooms of the twins and being prepared for their birth. Yeah, finally anytime soon in this coming week, we can already meet our little bundles. Isaac decided to work from home again he doesn’t want to leave by my side especially anytime now I could give birth to our little bundles. “Good morning, princess”. he greeted me when I opened my eyes from sleeping. He has already freshened up and just waiting for me to wake up to have our breakfast and do our morning routine. “Hmm, good morning hubby”. I groaned greeting him. I couldn't move properly now because of how big my tummy is. I always need Isaac’s
“Love, are you excited? I asked Isaac coz today we’re going to my monthly check-up and we will find out the gender of our little bundles. “I am, princess. I couldn't wait to know it. Do you have gender preferences in your mind? He asked. “None exactly, all I wanted is for them to be healthy. I don’t even care if they’re both male or female coz I will love them both no matter what”. I said lovingly. “Hmm, me too, princess. All I wanted is for all of you to be healthy. That’s all that I've been praying for”. he said and he walked towards me and kissed me on my temples and he kneeled to kiss my big baby bump. “By the way love, we still need to wait till evening before we know the gender. Our families are throwing a party and they want it to be a surprise to all of us so we can’t directly ask Dr. Pierce to say it to us”. I said reminding him. Avery planned a gender reveal for our twins this evening so we have a family gathering once again. “Yes, princess. For the hundredth time, Mom a
Bettany POV It's been a month since Dr. Pierce advised me to have full bed rest for the stability of our little bundles. To make sure they become healthy I follow Dr. Pierce's advice. Every day of the past month I've only left our bed when I'm going to use the bathroom but with the help of my husband. He didn't make me walk and he was afraid that I was going to bleed again. I understand his worry so I didn't argue with him. It feels like we're both in House Arrest but mostly bed arrest. In this past month, he didn't go to the company as well. He instructed Jeff that if it was only an urgent matter that needed his attention, that was the only time he could report to him. He didn't leave on my side 24/7 so our life in the past month only revolved around our bed. He made sure I didn't get bored as hell, he entertained me as much as possible. He always talked to our little bundle and that made him more adorable. He's going to be the best father to our twins that I'm really sure of. "Lov
Isaac POV “Dr. Pierce, how’s my wife and my twins? I ran anxiously when I saw the door of the emergency room open and Dr. Pierce came out. I can hear my heart thumping loudly. Am I ready to hear what he will say? What if. No, don't think like that Isaac. My princess and our little bundles are stronger than I know. Nothing gonna happen to both of them." I said to myself. I'd never been scared of my life before but when I saw my wife had blood in her hands I felt someone tagging me once again in the dark. I repeated telling her that everything would be fine but the truth is I'm not actually sure of my words either. I need to be stronger for both of us. It's not the time for me to give in to the darkness. I have a wife who needed me to be her strength. No matter what happens I need to be stronger for both of us. "Mr. Jones, I'll be honest with you. It makes us have a hard time stopping the bleeding but we are lucky that you arrived on time. Mrs. Jones and your child are both safe and o
