Alejandro Pov...This week has been exhausting, we opted to unwind since it's Friday. We were enjoying the conversation when two women approached our table with excitement and delighted to see us. "Hi, boys!" They greeted us flirtatiously. Rex and I stared at each other trying to figure out if we were going to hitch them, but knowing Rex he wouldn't. Since Coleen dies, his love life and sex life were buried with Coleen ages ago. No woman can make him shudder or entice him. "Hi!" We greet and I wink at them. They giggled excitedly while Rex frowned.These women are really experts. Rex left rejecting the woman leaving us. I was supposed to chase Rex when the other woman grabs my crotch and squeeze it making me groan. Fuck! I can use you to suppress my frustration. I kiss her hardly while she continues to murder my crotch as the other woman left us. I stop kissing her and ask. "Your name sweetheart?""You can call me Pam handsome." Her flirtatious response and sits on my lap trying to
Anita Pov...Two months ago since I gave birth to Venus, my body is slowly back in shape. Halmeoni (grandmother) takes care of everything, making sure I'm eating healthy and doing some exercise to bring me back to my strength. Grandmother believes in healthy living so does what you eat and what you do. I approached a small pond I felt sadness and longing. I don't want to hold back my tears as they want to come out! My God! Why is so hard to forget when it's already four months? Why does he always visit my mind? I pathetically cried."Why are you crying again, princess?" Grandma asked. I wasn't aware she was beside me. I wiped away my tears before responding to her."I'm not crying grandmother, I'm fine, I just miss home." I lied. "This is also a home princess and it's your home. Live comfortably. Think that this is your home, and although your parents aren't here with you, we can make you a bit better. You are not alone princess dear." Grandma Kim coaxed."Neh halmeoni (yes grandmot
Lorrie Pov..."Alejandro! Oh my god!" I covered my mouth crying as I entered his condo. Lots of broken glass anywhere and blood was splattered on the floor."Alejandro son!" I painfully cried as I approached him. I'm suffocated looking at him broken and helpless. My son who is cocky and a player becomes like this."Uhmn. Mom!" He answered like a child with tears in his eyes and a bloody hand. This is my fault! I can't stand looking at my children like this and it's my fault"Ssshh! It's okay son." I said to him as my tears dropped hugging him tightly."Mom! I want them back, please!" His pleading groaned with tears. It pierces my heart hearing him plead. What I have done? Why did I listen to Diana? I messed up everything and put pain and anger in everyone. I don't deserve to cry or feel pain. "I'm sorry, son for hurting you! I'm really sorry!" I cried. "I need them in my life! Mom, I need them please!" He pleaded again. Piercing my heart to see him painfully hurt and wasted. Every w
Diana Pov... "Hi Lauren!" I greeted her happily as I reach Alejandro's office floor. She looks at me surprised."Diane, what are you doing here?" She asked confused."I brought lunch for Alejandro maybe he hasn't eaten anything yet. I heard from his friend that he often doesn't eat on time, just worried he'll get sick." I explained that I shouldn't but Alejandro trust her so much. "Please! Diane, not now! Have a pity on yourself, you're heavily pregnant you must take care of yourself first. Today, is not the right day Diane!" She felt sorry for me and worried as she pulls me back to the elevator but I'm stubborn. "I'm just going to visit my husb- to visit Alejandro and send his food, then I'll be leaving." I insist."Diane, I'm telling you please have mercy on yourself. It won't be good for you if you will insist to go in that room!" She cried, worried as she holds my hand tightly, this is always the scenario when I come here when my stomach is not yet obvious. They always get rid
Lauren Pov...I'm still shaking and terrified at what happened at the office. My body screams for a break. My ears and reflexes are too sensitive and still in fear, any movement gives chills to my bones. He's totally a different person that day, his firm curses, violent stare, and venomous words piercing your heart slowly in pain and fear. His parents choose to be calm and try to calm him, but foolish Diana still insists that she wants to end her almost giving birth to her child. She's a person a lot of work to process. Why can't she grasp the reality?Love, look what love can do to a person. It's a fucking dangerous, either bad or good. I really don't know where she is. He came back after visiting Uncle Jack, which turns him into a heartless cold person. What happened when he visits Uncle Jack? Anita and Van shut off any connection to us. I keep sending her emails, at least she could read them."Hi cousin, it's been too long. How are you? Can you please answer me? I had a lot of thi
Rex Pov...I drop by his office, but I can't talk to him. I watch him busy flipping all the documents on his table while sipping a cold coffee beside him. I want to feel sorry, but I can't, I'm more scared of what will gonna happen. He's an unpredictable cold-blooded man now."Buddy, have a lunch break." I ask bothering him since he will not let any second pass without sitting in his damn chair."Just a minute bro!" He answered not even raising his head. Damn, I miss his cocky grin and fucking signature smirk."Bro, your birthday is right on the corner, where are we going to celebrate?" I ask."I don't have time Rex. My schedule is fully booked. I need to finalize my Subic and Tarlac expansion." He said seriously still buried in those packs of papers. I raise my brows trying to digest what he just said.I sighed, he always throws a lavish birthday party anywhere he wants to, inviting famous people. Where are you Anita, maybe you can bring back my mischievous friend. I can't stay looki
Diana Pov... It's been two months since I gave birth to Arthur and Anita has been missing for almost a year. As the days went Alejandro became more dangerous and unpredictable.Staying with him is a room of hell, but I have to endure everything. If, my investigator has a lead where the hell she is, my life will be free. Though I've been used to living like this for a year, cleaning and gardening isn't hard work anymore, but his backyard and front yard are too spacious. Auntie Sita pity me enough for helping in taking care of Arthur when I'm busy. I sighed deeply contemplating my life if I didn't choose him. The doorbell rang and startled me."M-Mom!" I was startled to open the door."Pack Arthur's things now, I'll take him back to New York!" She immediately said as I opened the door without even hugging or kissing me."Mommmy! You can't do that to me. You left me for almost a year when I needed you!" I protested crying against her."You brought that to yourself, Diana! You know why I
Rex Pov... Alejandro's mother contacted me to meet her without telling anyone. I'm confused why would she ask me that but I obliged maybe it's important knowing what Alejandro is going through."Good morning auntie!" I greet her as I entered their house."Good morning to you too, Rex!" She reciprocated. "Why did you want to see me alone?" I ask upon sitting."I need your help, but I don't want them to know about this favor." Auntie said sternly."Anything Auntie, as long as I can!" I hesitantly replied."Book me the best place to stay in Manila for one week or two, same with my ticket!" I'm definitely surprised by her sudden request, she never travels alone so what the chase this time? I'm trying to picture her and she is not putting on a facade."B-But! Auntie, why are you going to Manila alone?" She just smiled and don't want to celebrate her reasons."I'll send you the booking of your ticket to your email later, but one of our friends in Manila will take care of you. Alejandro an
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
