Anita Pov...I woke up as if a truck had run through my whole body. I feel tired and exhausted out of energy breaking. My head is heavy and it's hazy. Oh my God!… I hissed looking around. I scratch my eyes to see clearly, the room is dark and I don't feel like I'm lying on my bed. I tried to stretch my hand to grab my phone. I wonder what time is it. I mouthed as I moved and the covering on my body falls off making me shiver a little. "What!" I blurted shock. Why am I still here in Sir Alejandro's office? Did I sleep here but why? I confusedly ask myself. Suddenly, what happened slowly flashed back: I cried heavily for the second time around, a man I didn't know claimed me again, but last night, I just felt like Deja Vu. Every caress he made on my body as well as how he pounded me like crazy reminds me of three years ago. But if he is the same man, what is he doing here? Manila is far from Cebu!While I'm asking a lot of questions I pick my clothes scattered on the floor and wear t
Alejandro Pov...I don't want to leave Anita, but I must get this bidding again. I want to prove to them, I can multiply any business in my hand at a young age. I'm not an incompetent businessman and I want that to slap in Mr. Paloma's damn face.I will never forget him! I don't care even if decades will pass by. I won't intimidate him as he did to me but I will make sure one of these days when our paths cross he will not mock and humiliate me like before but I must still say thank you, apart of me change because of that fucking unforgettable humiliation I had. Some of the businessmen I met joked about that and I just smiled at them.Maybe bad things happen to good people and bad happenings can bring out the best of you that you never know existed. That's the belief I am trying to slap in my face because I got Anita after that.It's been two months since that hot steamy night in my office with Anita yet she's still the same since she started working here. Still, it makes my mood sour
Anita Pov...Alex's fourth birthday is coming up, but the uneasy feeling that I feel makes it more evident while the days are approaching. This is the first time I feel worried and anxious like this. I don't understand why! "Anita sweetheart, please come down and you have a guest." Grandma calls gently."Just a moment grandma, thank you." I answered politely.I could barely step my foot down the stairs. I'm surprised to see daddy sitting there without prior notice. My hand was shaking and sweating as I approached them."Anita!" Daddy's broken tone was so heavy that I cringed and shivered. I kneel down immediately holding his hand."Daddy, I'm sorry!" I uttered heavily as my tears freely flowed from my face."I didn't raise and educate you properly, for you to repay all my sacrifices and care for you Anita like this!" Daddy's angry tone and disappointment."Dadddy!" I cried heavily. I'm not yet ready for this conversation with him."I have high expectations and good plans for you, for
Anita Pov...After talking to dad, everything calms. I really thought he will not forgive me and disown me for doing something that will shame our family's reputation.Dad falls in love with Alex and he spent most of his time playing with him and teaching him to call him grandpa daddy instead of grandpa. I've never been happy! Life is really full of surprises. "Am I invited to Alex's birthday?" Dad asks while looking at the invitations and tokens on the table. "Of course dad, I want you to be a part of his life now. He needs someone like you!" I hug his back. I know I hurt him so badly for leaving, but at least I proved to myself that I could stand alone. "Thank you, Anita!" He responded. "Dad, next month is his birthday. What if you extend a month more to stay? I also miss you!" I tried to be coquettish asking him. I really miss him, four years out of his sight. "I still have an important appointment in two weeks, for a Hotel and Resort to open in Makati. I won the bidding and I
Anita Pov...We celebrated Alex's birthday successfully in one of the famous hotels in Cebu owned by Mom's best friend. I really missed mom. I hope my sister will visit me though. I was about to leave the venue when my eyes caught a man wearing a black mask standing in front of the elevator. Say I'm surprised was an understatement. I'm totally shocked! My body froze unable to move.Wasn't he the man that night? What the hell is he doing here? I wondered to myself. Before he could see me, I run back to the venue. I'm scared he might notice me and take Alex from me. I live my life keeping him away from social media. Calm down, he doesn't know anything, my mind trying to calm my nerves. "Daddy, let's go home. I got an urgent call to report tomorrow." I say to daddy. I don't feel like staying over the night here. I feel like the world is too small for the two of us. How could he be here? He was the reason why I came here in the first place. "We're supposed to stay here princess. Jay's g
Anita Pov...I knocked on the door of his office. He might be busy and I don't want to disturb him unless it's urgent."Come in Ms. Anita." He acknowledges my presence."Sir, can I disturb you for a few minutes?" I ask hesitantly."Yes! Anything, I can help you with?" He answered sexily. Damn it! Anita, please concentrate."S-sir, I just want to inform you that I'm going to resign." He suddenly raised his face and I accidentally meet his gaze. I bite my lips worried that he might not let me resign. He let a soft growl and back to his paper works before talking."Tell me, why are you quitting after four years working here? Is your salary too low or did I do bad things? You're an efficient worker Ms. Paloma." He asked me again and for the first time, I stared at him. I feel my world stop moving and my tongue is stuck in my mouth that I can't speak. His stare is really hypnotizing that you could even forget to talk as if your tongue is tied up. What if he will smile again, I might crawl
Alejandro Pov...It's been a week since I made love with Anita, but she still doesn't care. Am I really nothing to her? Does my charm doesn't affect her? Damn It! My head throbs thinking of her denying my touch! Why she doesn't care? Is it just one time fuck for her? Damn it!"Anita come to my office now!" I called her on the intercom."Sir Alejandro, Is there something I can help you with?" She asks peeking her head to the door half open."Get inside and let's talk!" I ordered not pleased at her. She's acting strange now that something happens to us!"Sir Alejandro, if it's not about work. I'll better go." She said as she turns her back to leave. What the hell is wrong with her? She's really provoking my patience."STOP RIGHT THERE ANITA!! You won't like what I can do! Alejandro for you." I exclaimed furious at her."Seriously sir Alejandro what is your problem? Shouldn't you be happy because you got what you wanted? What on earth are you up to!" She also shouted at me. If you know.
Anita Pov... "Are you really coming back for good?" Missy texted. I stopped packing and replied to her message. I'm not lying or joking. I am going back and rebuild our life again with daddy."Yes babe, I will help daddy in running our business. He plan to open another branch here in Cebu with a coffee shop." I replied eager to go home. "Oh! That's a good idea, Annie! So, you really say goodbye to your handsome boss." She replied. I just sighed with her teasing me again. Yeah, I did and that's forever. "Yeah! By any chance I will come back here though but that's unsure. I'd rather work there or abroad with my siblings." I replied. "Then I'll apply at the coffee shop as your clerk!" She jokes. I replied with a laughing emoticon. I'm ecstatic about daddy’s new proposal. He believes I can run smoothly because of my four years of experience here at the hotel. He thinks I learned a lot and needed to venture. Business is a big risk but he's not afraid I walk to his path.I am also exci
Samantha Pov... After 5 Years... Of all the things that happen in our family, we become stronger. We face everything with open hands as we know we are in this together. Just as our beautiful, unforgettable promise on our wedding day. In sickness and health. For poorer and richer, we did! Our families didn't leave us as well. We help each other and achieve each of our dreams. I thought the family I dreamed of would never happen. Fixing what is broken isn't easy, especially if trust is already ruined. You can trust again, but it wasn't the same. Doubts are always there knocking you off. Triggering your mind to suspect! I live my life believing he loves me to keep doubts away, though he shows his undying love every day so do I. We always look like a newlywed couple or a teenager who is just in love. Giggling when we see our crush. That's what we both feel. It's been 5 years but our love isn't fading. As the days, months, and years passed by, our love blossomed unexpectedly. My brothe
After the wedding, we both decided to travel locally for a month for our honeymoon since she was already almost four months pregnant with our twins again. For our first destination, I chose to go to Baguio, then Bulacan before Subic for our honeymoon. After almost two weeks, we plan to go to Boracay and back to Palawan. Then I suggested the last week staying in the Manila Marriott Hotel. Samantha supported us all the way and gave some suggestions. I did not allow her to return to Australia and New York and asked her best friend to take care of her business there while she was away. I will let her travel when she has already given birth and is capable of moving comfortably. At the moment, I'm still in bliss that I want to be with them and see them anytime, especially my lovely wife, who amazes me all the time.We are here today at the Baguio Country Club and this is our second day. It's nice to go for a walk, from around five pm onwards, feeling the chilly breeze and fresh smell of
Rex Pov...Now that the long-awaited day came, I felt nervous and my chest was going to explode, fidgeting. Samantha and I are getting married today, but I'm nervous and worried. Three days before our wedding, she lived with her parents, saying that we had to be apart for three days before the said wedding day.In the three days that I was not with her, I could not sleep well or eat. I miss her cooking and how caring she was. You just have to wait a few hours, Rex, you will see her. I mumbled to myself. My other two friends did nothing but laugh at me as well as my brother!"Buddy, just relax! You will see her in a while before you don't want to see her!" He mocked, jokingly."That was before!" I uttered, embarrassed."Then what about now, if that was only before?" He asked back."Because now, I love her and don't want to lose her again." I responded shamelessly, seriously looking into his eyes.He was my best friend but Samantha was her only sister. He has the right to ask! He smirk
Rex Pov...Our upcoming wedding is taking a toll on us but in a nice way. I can't be happier reaching this stage with her after the roller coaster incidents.Maybe if Samantha hadn't been persistent, we wouldn't have had a happy ending but only pain until our twins grew up. I always say no, not because of my pride, but because I didn't pay attention. But with everything that has passed in our lives, we have learned to appreciate each other before everything it's too late. I'm always scared she might get sick or hurt herself.Our wedding is next month and I can't wait to call her Mrs. Jimenez.Samantha is three months pregnant and we only spent one month preparing for our wedding. She was already five months pregnant on the very day of our wedding, so the balloon design of her wedding gown looked even better. Both of our parents didn't want us to get married after she gave birth. They want us to get married before her belly grows. During our one-month preparation, we didn't have any
Rex Pov...I frown when memories of Coleen are back in my head. I really can't get her out of my life. She was once a part of my life, hiding from Samantha. I met her at a meeting with my client who is a regular customer at the Diner's Pub he owns. After a few meetings, I courted her. My courtship and our date lasted for three months. Since we share the same hobby, it is not difficult to get along. I thought I really, fell in love with her but I just now realized that I didn't love her like I loved Samantha, who I hid from my heart for a long time because of Coleen. My love and desire awakened the moment I saw her with someone else. I'm very angry because of jealousy, which I don't want to accept. I smiled again at my stupidity. I already have her, but I keep on pushing her away. I also loved Coleen but I love Samantha more. Now, I can get justice for her but a little sorry for her, since my heart has always been in love with my best friend's younger sister. I chuckled, sticking my
Rex Pov...My hunch was right. We were asleep and mom woke us up. They brought a lot of fruits and vegetables so that Samantha would have something nutritious to eat. I sighed, staring at the fruit they brought. I am not starving my wife! She asked permission to take the twins - oh no, actually, she is informing me that they took the twins and they will return when Samantha gives birth."That's not possible, mom. I've only been with them for a month, why take them away?" I protested."Rex your priority is Sam. It's not easy to get pregnant with mischievous children. When she gives birth, make twins again." She responded."Mom!" I blurted out in disbelief."What? I want grandchildren." She snorted again. Samantha was already red as a tomato."You just said it's hard to get pregnant and then you want to get her pregnant again." I protested again."Why, don't you want to have a lot of children? Isn't that what you always wanted to have a big family?" Mom sneered. Samantha's eyes widened,
After our successful get-together dinner, I left them enjoying themselves as I needed to go home. I already miss Samantha. I was in the middle of the road when Alejandro called."Hello Alejandro?" I gleamed."Where are you? Dad was supposed to bring the kids back but couldn't contact Samantha." He said. I felt nervous, clutching my chest. I'm allergic to these kinds of calls! My heart wants to jump out freakingly, nervous whilst my brain becomes stagnant and can't think quickly."What?" I exclaimed, nervous."I'm here at your house right now. See you later. I told dad to keep the kids for a while." He responded."Okay. I'm on my way, bro." I answered nervously. I was so happy just now, but now my heart feels like it's going to explode with fear and nervousness when she leaves me again. I shook that thing out of my mind, driving faster.After arriving at the condo, I took a long step to get inside. I searched the entire condo but there was no Samantha. The food I cooked was also untouc
Rex Pov...I went to work with a broad smile and energetic. Since my parents took the children, I left Samantha still sleeping. Before I left the condo I cooked her favorite food and will fetch her later to go home and see our kids. Those little munchkins I miss them so much! I hope Uncle James brings the twins back and will not ask for an extension. I miss them running towards me when I come home. Those are the precious moments I can't exchange with anything. I want to cherish these little moments while they can still be cuddled. I'm growing old scared I wouldn't be there when they needed me the most. Now, that I have Samantha beside me, I can't contain my happiness engulfing me. I wish I had been true to myself before. Loving Coleen was just my scapegoat to run away from her since she was too young for me! I am still over the moon at the sweet feeling of being loved and to love her again. I loved Coleen before but it wasn't this happy and the love I had for Samantha was not reall
Rex Pov...Uncle James took Xander and Alexa home. Mommy argued that they should be the first to take my children since they had just arrived. While they were arguing on the rooftop of the restaurant, I told Samantha to go home. Fuck! I miss her so much. I didn't know how much I missed her until that kiss I gave her. I was very anxious to pamper her again after three months when something happened in my condo. Her action at home two weeks ago in the study room was out of the box, but I enjoyed it. She really hides something obscene about herself. But it's okay as long as she does that thing only for me.I'm excited to reach home as I drive so fast. I wanted to go home but suddenly I changed my mind. I turned the car around and took her to my condo. No one is there and no one will bother us. I will mark what is mine, this time with love. I smiled and looked at her who was taking a nap. Our Hills View Paradise Restaurant is in Tagaytay, so the trip back to Manila is a bit heavy. Afte
