"Wifey, wait!" Sigaw ni Brix, at patakbo itong humabol kay Mira na mabilis naglakad palabas ng building.Nagtinginan ang lahat na halos hindi makapaniwala sa narinig. Akala nila namali sila ng dinig sa sinabi ni Brix."Wifey?!" Lahat ay hindi maka getover sa narinig, wala din ni isang gumalaw sa pagka shock lalo at nakikita nila ang mga sumunod na eksana sa labas. Hinaharang ni Brix ang asawa, na tila sila nagpapatintero habang naguusap, but they cannot hear their conversation."Haliparot na lalaki! Padaanin moko!" Inis si Mirasol at inulan ng suntok at tadyak ang asawa , pero lahat nailagan ni Brix. Ang huling suntok ay nasalo niya kaya magkadikit ang kanilang katawan kasi hindi na nito binitiwan ang kanyang kamao. "Bat ka nandito? Namimiss mo ako? Nagseselos ka ba? Mahal mo na rin ba ako? Uyyy umamin ka! " Sunod sunod na tanong nito kay Mira habang pilit niyang hinihila ang kanyanh kamay mula sa pagkahawak ni Brix. Napatigil si Mira sa narinig. "Rin"? Tama ba pandinig ko? Ano ba
"Marco the playboy, what brings you here? Diba from the hospital eh pumunta ka Nimbus kanina. Kala ko dun ka matutulog? Okay na ba kamay mo?" Tumigil saglit ang kotse sa tapat ng gazebo na kinaroroonan ni Marco. Tila concern naman si Brix , kaya hindi na umangal si Marco sa pagtawag nito sa kanya ng playboy. Bad image tuloy siya sa asawa nito. Uy wow, sinusundo niya ang misis niya? Wow good boy na yata ito ah! Iba talaga ang magagawa ng true love ah, hehehe! Sa isip ni Marco. "Go ang park your car first, and then join me later. Gusto ko kayong makabonding." Sabay yumuko para tignan ang nasa tabi ni Brix. He smile at her so he noticed that her hair is not curly anymore. Nagparebond? Siguro pakana ni Brix para kahit sa buhok man lang eh may hawig sa doctorang hindi nakaka kilala sa kanya. He chuckled deep inside. Saan kaya nagkakilala ang mga ito? Tahimik lang si Mira sa loob ng kotse. But when Marco smiled at her, she smiles back. She notices that Marco's eyes hide something she c
"Buntis? Do you suspect that she's pregnant? Bat dimo siya ipacheckup?" Suhestiyon ni Marco. He is also curious, who will their child look like? The handsome one, or the ugly one. Thinking about it, he can't help but grin. "She's a doctor. Maybe she's already aware of it kung buntis man siya." " Oh! So you looked for a wife with the same profession as the doctor stranger sa highway? Maybe para may chance na makita mo siya? Haha wow naman! the famous, mighty, and handsome Brix Jose does everything in the name of love! " He can't believe what's happening. Pero naalala pala niya, inis na inis ito sa babae noong time na yun dahil hindi niya ito kilala. Umandar kasi and kayabangan nito noon kaya narinig niyang gagantihan niya ang babae. Posible kayang hina-hunting niya ito para akitin hanggang mainlove ,tsaka iiwan na lang?" Huh! Bahala ka na nga kung anong gusto mong paniwalaan. Wala akong magagawa kung walang signal ang utak mo. " Inis na sabi nito sabay tungga sa laman ng kanyang bas
"It seems you're a fan of his product Mirasol," Eric uttered while staring at the limited edition Earth Sports watch on Mirasol's flawless wrist. He wanted to buy a pair of them but he did not have a chance since the last two pairs he saw is already reserved. The goodness of the watch is that it can signal the other pair if the one who is wearing the first pair will suddenly collapse or fall. If it detects any movement not usually done by the first user, the other watch will change its color to red. He plans to buy for himself and give the other one to Mirasol since he greatly values her. However, he was surprised that she already own one. But who gave her? Who owns its pair?"Am I?" She was startled. How can she be a fan, eh she never knows he has his own brand. But when she looked down at her watch, she noticed the beautiful font of the word EARTH engraved inside the watch glass. She remembered that she found it on their bed's side table with a note "Stay safe and remember, You have
Mirasol went straight inside the building to see the employees who copied her disguise. She was amused and she felt better. She loves looking at them. When suddenly, Marco a friend of Brix appeared in front of her and offered her some drinks."Madam, please make yourself comfortable," Marco said politely. In his mind, he is imagining the changes in this woman after the surgery."Thanks Marco, pero no need na tawagin akong madam. Pwede mo na akong iwan dito. By the way, nasaan si Brix?"" Ah eh. Nasa office. Ayaw daw niyang maistorbo ng kahit na sino." He smiled awkwardly. " You mean kahit ako?" Napataas ng kilay si Mirasol." Yep! Ewan anong nangyari dun. He told me earlier na susunduin ka daw niya, pero bumalik naman agad. "" Oh! Okay, fine. You can leave me alone here."" Are you sure? ""Of course!" And then Marco really left her. She wonders, what makes Brix so busy? Anyway, lagi namang busy yon. Pumunta lang naman ako dito para personal na makita ang mga nanggaya sa akin eh. Sh
"Who is she?" With a choked voice, Sandra asks. Sandra is his long-time rumored girlfriend. Her heart and dreams were shattered. She dreamed that Marco will love her back, and that's why she continuously tolerate him being a womanizer. She is his rumored girlfriend but she was never invited by him to his unit inside the Nimbus Productions building. And now, he is very intimate with this unknown woman. Is she a new talent? or a model? Is she that beautiful and sexy? The woman is facing the door, that's why Sandra doesn't have a chance to see her face.On the other hand, Mira was worried about the possible big scandal if this woman took a video of her and Marco and uploaded it on social media. It will surely make Brix angry and perhaps...he will kill her? Oh, what am I thinking? She doesn't belong to the world of showbiz, so as much as possible, she does not want to be involved with any showbiz personality. However, she forgot that she was the wife of the very famous one."Do something
Marco is worried, however, he just thinks that Brix is joking. How can a big event be prepared in just a few hours? Impossible! So he just continue his daily routine. Malapit lang ang gymnasium sa Nimbus kaya't kitang kita niya iyon. Nang pumatak ang alas siyete, marami nang nagsisidatingan na reporter at iba pang mga sikat na personalidad. Doon na siya naniwalang seryoso ang kanyang baliw na kaibigan sa hamon nitong laban, lalong lano na nung nakita niya ang isang malaking tarpaulin ng larawan nilang dalawa ni Brix. Nagsimula na siyang mabahala. He dialled Brix' number. "Huuyy! Seryoso ka? Alam ko talo na ako, black belter ka eh." Maktol niya sa kaibigan. Abot abot ang kaba, pano nalang kung matalo siya, anong iisipin ng kanyang mga fans? Lalo na ng mga pretty girls. " Ikaw din naman ah. See you later. " At pinatay na niya ang cellphone. Maya maya ay nag ring ito, akala niya si Brix ang tumatawag. "Ano, nagbago na ba isip mo? Postpone na kaya natin to, pag mag box offic
What he saw is a total eyesore. He squinted his eyes in disgust, and continue to walk without smiling anymore. His fans surrounding him noticed the sudden change in his expression, but they ignored it as long as they took a picture with him. Marco is late, he arrived when Brix is about to remove his suit and change to his sportswear. In the live streaming, the netizens pointed out the sudden change in Brix's facial expression. They urged the reporters to figure out the reason why. "Hala ang saya lang kanina ng asawa ko, bakit biglang nagbago? Sorry na baby! "" Sweetheart bat biglang nawala ang smile mo? "" Please paki tignan naman kung bakit biglang nagdilim ang mukha ng baby ko, " Samantala, yung ibang netizen naman ay naka tuon kay Marco. "Love, huwag ka nang tumuloy. Atras ka nalang kasi galit si Rex Jay."" Galingan mo Marco my dear! Patunayan mong mas malakas ka sa kanya kahit mas pogi siya sayo. " Kick-boxing ang face off nila kaya kailangan pa nilang gumamit ng gloves
Habang nagiisip si Mira kung pupunta ba siya sa receiving area para masulyapan si Brix, inakay na siya ni Manager Enriquez papalayo sa receiving area bilang pagsunod sa iniutos ni Aries."Hey! Mister Enriquez, saan mo ba ako dadalhin? Teka lang--" naiinis siya sa paghawak sa kanya ng manager. Tila may malisya kasi ang bawat titig nito sa kanya." Doc, sumusunod lang po ako ky boss Aries, " patuloy ito sa paghatak sa kanya papalayo sa receiving area, at papalapit naman sa exit. Gusto ni Aries na umalis na sa building si Claire para hindi makita ni Brix ang marka ng sampal sa pisngi nito."So kung ganon, pag sinabi niyang halikan mo ang paa niya, gagawin mo? Walang makakapigil sa akin kung saan ko man gustong pumunta! Kaya't bitiwan mo ako..." " Or else what? Doc, huwag mong sabihing makikipagharap ka sa isang prominenteng personalidad? Para ano? Ipakita ang iyong naglalakihang chikinini? Or balak mo siyang akitin bilang koleksyon bukod kay boss Aries?" walang respeto ito sa kanya dahi
When Mira woke up in the morning, she expected to see Brix laying beside her peacefully sleeping. Or right in the kitchen cooking for their breakfast just like before. However, instead of seeing her husband, she found a letter on her bedside table. She carefully opened it with trembling hands. With her fast beating heart, she read it word by word making sure she did not skipped even just a little information. When she's done reading, she crampled the letter, and collapsed back to bed. She sighed desperately as she placed the letter on her chest, "Ito na nga ba ang sinasabi ko eh! This is the most difficult part of marrying a criminal," she lamented while crying. She stayed there for about an hour. Then with heavy heart, she dragged herself to the bathroom to take a cold shower. There, she saw the multiple marks of their passion last night. She wiped away the tears that are about to fall, and noticed that the ring Aries gave her is gone. Brix took it. What will she explain to Aries
"What is it love?" kunot noong tanong ni Brix habang nakatingala siya at nakatitig sa mukha ni Mira. Nakaluhod parin kasi ito, kaya asiwa si Mira at hinawakan ang kamay ni Brix. "Pwede bang maupo ka nalang, nakakaasiwa namang nakaluhod ka diyan, para kang timang..." Natatawa na siya sa itsura ni Brix. In Brixs mind, 'ganyan nga, ngumiti ka pa.' He loves seeing her smile. "No, I'm comfortable kneeling infront of you. Ang laki ng pagkukulang at kasalanan ko sa inyo ni Brent. I am so sorry." He squeezed her hand and kissed it repeatedly. "Sorry din, kasi sinubukan kitang kalimutan by responding to Aries' love. Sorry, Brix. Kaya maupo ka na please."" Okay. So ito yung ring na binigay ni Aries...este Eric na Enrico? Imagine ang dami niyang pangalan, "He look at the diamong ring, "parang heirloom ng family niya ito. Let me remove it?" He attempted to remove it from her finger. Pero pinigilan siya ni Mira kaya nagtataka siyang tumingin sa mga mata niya."Brix, diba usapan niyo ni madam n
Maayos na natapos ang usapan nina Mrs.Montemayor at Brix kaya umalis na ito. Napagkasunduan nilang ilihim kay Eric, aka Aries na alam na nila ang kanyang tunay na pagkatao. Naiwan sa apartment sina Brix at Mira na tila estatwa , at matagal na katahimikan ang bumalot sa kanila.Si Mira ang unang bumasag sa katahimikang iyon."So kailan mo pa alam na ako si Mirasol?" mahinang tanong niya. Nagaalala siyang daanin na naman ito ni Brix sa kalokohan. He smiled ," Bakit?" sinagot niya ito ng isa ding katanungan."Wala, Gusto ko lang malaman." Wala siyang balak sirain ang araw niya. Ayaw na ayaw kasi niya yung tinatanong , pero sinasagot din ng tanong."When I gave you a check and you deposit to a name Brent...Doon kita pinaimbestigahan," he admitted.Nailing si Mira, "Tsk! So nung nasa Las Vegas tayo, alam mo na pala. Ginawa mo akong tanga..." her voice seems like a whisper , but Brix heard it all. He took a deep breath trying to calm his nerves. Para siyang nanginginig habang kaharap ang k
Though her call was rejected many times, she did not give up. She made up her mind to coax Mirasol, the apple of her sons eyes. She made a desperate move to go directly to her and plead. She bought a lot of gifts for her future daughter in law. With her driver and two bodyguards, they head to Mirasol's apartment.When her car parked, someone saw her , and thought, "Talaga lang, pati mother ni Eric alam din! Tsk! Very interesting Mira! Magaling!" Brix is so heartbroken, but decided to make a drastic move to end Mira's illussion. He thought, 'Ako parin ang legal husband mo. Hangga't buhay ako, magiging kabit parin ang iyong lover boy!'Nagsuot siya ng sumbrero at facemask bago lumabas ng kotse para walang makakita sa kanya. Ingat siya ngayon at baka ma headline na naman siya pag may makakitang vlogger. Sinundan niya si Mrs.Montemayor, ang ina ni Eric ,na tita niya."Tita! Where are you going? Ihatid ko na po kayo!" " Ikaw pala iho, dadalawin ko nga ang aking future manugang."" Really
"Eric? Oo nga, dina nga natin siya naalala eversince nangyari yun. Masyado na kasi tayong busy." Ani Gil habang nagiisip. Tahimik lang na nakikinig sa kanila si Brix. Siguro kung hindi siya nadepressed noon at nasa katinuan para mag imbestiga, sana hindi na naging Claire si Mira. Pero bakit pati ang kanyang biyenan, pumayag?Kailangan niyang kausapin ang mga ito.Gil and Marco stayed with Brix the whole day and tried their best to divert Brix's attention. At the end of the day, they saw him smiling again.Meanwhile, Mira is about to sit down in her couch after a long tiring day when she received a call from an unregistered number. Kakaalis lang ni Aries, dahil hinatid siya nito at gusto pa sanang mag stay ang binata pero ipinagtabuyan niya ito. Gusto talaga niyang magpahinga, pero sino kaya itong istorbo? Pinindot niya ang receive button."Is this Claire Michaels?" she immediately heard an aristocratic voice from the other line. Hindi pa siya nakapag"hello?" pero nagsalita na agad ang
Aries just smile at her as if no serious things was ever mentioned. She did not see any emotion in his eyes. She thought, 'Wow okay lang sa kanya ang past ko, at may anak pa! I really need to learn to love him.'"So? How do you expect me to react,babe?" Nakataas kilay ito na tila nanunudyo pa. "Ahmmm so you mean okay lang sayo?" she asked with a wide eyes staring at him. Her nervousness is vanishing."Yep ofcourse! It's not your fault that you fell in love at the wrong time," he again smiled and look at her with eyes full of understanding. In reality, he want to bring out her past. He really want to know the reason why she married Brix despite the short period of knowing him."Thank you, Aries. Thank you!" She got teary eyed and then stood up just to hug him. Eric aka Aries felt he won a million dollars lottery. Sa wakas mamahalin na siya ng taong mula nang makilala niya ay minahal na niya.Meanwhile, in Brix's villa, he is reviewing the footage captured through a necklace. Ngayon l
Presto! May bago na silang makakatulong sa mansion. May isa pang kasama ang kanyang mga magulang sa pagaalaga sa anak niya. Hindi na siya magaalala dahil mukhang honest naman ito. Mabilis nilang naka close ang matandang nagsauli kay Brent dahil masipag at hindi ito palaimik. Magiliw din ito sa bata kaya gustong gusto siya ni Brent. Dahil gustong makasiguro ni Delon, pinabackground check niya ito sa kaniyang tauhan."Boss, legit true po lahat ng impormasyong sinabi ng matanda. Mag-isa nga po talaga siyang nakatira sa isang barung barong na tila salat sa lahat ng gamit at pagkain. Nagtitinda lang po siya ng plastic bag sa palengke," report ng isa sa kanyang tauhan. "Mabuti naman," natuwa si Delon sa resulta . "Irenovate niyo ang kanyang bahay. Gawin niyong concrete at kumpletohin din ang gamit sa loob," utos niya. "Pero boss, diba nasa poder na ninyo ang matanda? Sino pa ang titira doon?""Isang beses kada linggo ang restday niya, kaya gawin niyo agad para may uuwian siya. Dahil ayaw
"Get up and lets have a dinner," ani Brix at nauna na itong tumayo at lumabas ng silid..mayamaya ay dumungaw siya sa pinto, "fix yourself Claire , para kang multo. Nakakahiya sa mga attendants!" "Waattt? Nakakita ka na ba ng multo?" Kunot noong tanong niya kay Brix." Oo, ikaw!" at mabilis itong umalis sa pinto kaya hindi tumama sa kanya ang unan na ibinato ni Claire. Pagtingin ni Claire sa kanyang reflection sa screen ng nakapatay na TV, ang gulo nga ng buhok niya. Kaya mabilis siyang nag ayos at nagbihis ng kumportableng damit. Paglabas niya sa dining area, nakaupo na si Brix sa harap eleganteng mesa na puno ng pagkain habang naghihintay sa kanya. May isang flight attendant na naiwan, ang dami lang nila kanina ah. Naintindihan ni Brix ang kanyang pagtataka kaya sinagot na niya ito kahit hindi man nagtatanong."Pinagpahinga ko na muna sila. Paaalisin ko din ang isang ito," binalingan niya ang nagi isang attendant na nakatayo at magalang na naghihintay sa kanilang request."Mucha
