DIANE POV...I arrived at Incheon Airport earlier than expected. A bit lucky that I can speak their language or else I would be dead fucking seriously in trouble. Their airport was so beautiful and intimidating. I want to stroll, but I opted to follow my itinerary. I don't have room for another drama, time is gold for me. I mentally note myself. Alejandro doesn't know I'm out of the country. Shit! If, I could turn back time, but I can't. I need to find Ms. Wang for an immediate appointment. I can't waste any penny anymore. I lay down on the soft bed. Oh! I miss this kind of mattress and the smell. It's been a year since I suddenly disappeared from the modeling industry. I cursed and laugh bitterly... I laughed at the fact that my life was wasted for a year because of a dream that I never had. I don't exactly know if I'll be able to return as a model. I know this time that I fucked up big time by ruining my life. Mom was right. I had the perfect life despite just having a mom by my si
Auntie Sita Pov..."Auntie Sita where is Diane, the plants outside need assistance! The plants are withering!" Alejandro boomed after entering the house startling me. I quickly run out of the kitchen to meet him in the living room. He looks serious looking around checking the house and maybe finding Diana."I can take care of that, sir Alejandro after I will cook some dishes." I replied quickly to lessen his irritating anger."Auntie, that's not your job, that's her job in this house, she's not a princess here! Her job is not yours auntie." Alejandro's angry voice booms the whole house. His madness towards Diana is deep and unforgivable. "Sir Alejandro, she left two weeks ago to meet Anita in New York. She said Anita is in New York!" He dangerously stopped climbing the stairs. I almost have a heart attack when he stops suddenly making a crisp sound on the floor."She didn't even bother to tell me? What does she think of my house a mall where she could just go out and pops up whenever
Rex Pov... I've been standing in front of Alejandro's room, but I can't speak. I tried to swallow my saliva. My tongue twitched in pity at his condition. Auntie Sita came up to call us, but I signaled her not to make any noise. We recuperate before calling Alejandro's attention. My heart aches to see him like this. I've been there, I know how painful it is. If no one is there for you you will lose sanity."Bro, I'm already here!" I muttered knocking on his door. It takes more minutes before he looks back. "How long have you been there?" He asks not looking at me. "I just came. Auntie Sita ask me to fetch you." I lied and tried to talk normally. Though, my voice is failing me. As we walk into the kitchen. "Bro, why did you suddenly ask me to come over?" I pretended I didn’t know anything. "Nothing bro, I just miss our drink on weekends." He lied masking his evident pain. "Your right! It's been a long time since the last time we litter your grand house." I laughed back at him. He
Jack Pov...After our quick meeting. I left the coffee shop but stayed outside watching him. I'm not used to his cold appearance. I heard him as a jolly young businessman, but not a serious cold man. The last time I met him, I rejected him, but he didn't fudge. That's strange for me knowing his a damn playboy and interjects.He changes a lot. From his behavior down to his physical features. From a sweet and jolly young businessman to a straightforward cold-hearted man. From ideal sexy hunk to bold and fierce badass look. I've been there so I know how it feels, but his cold gesture hit me that hard. He just proved his capable in a lot of things. He's an unpredictable brute that I misjudge.I watched them exit the coffee shop before going to our car."Danilo, follow their car." I commanded my driver."Uncle Jack, why are we following them?" Missy asked."I need to check something, Missy. I met him twice before and today's cold gestures were over the belt. He is well-known as the sugar o
Anita Pov...It's been two years since I shut off myself from any social activities. I don’t know what happened in two years! I accidentally clicked on my spam message to expose a video! I cried agape shaking! I can't breathe kneeling on the floor. I can't bear the pain crushing my chest to see him begging. I can feel his pain, clutching my chest, gasping for air as I sob silently. "Alejandro..." I cried painfully. "I'm sorry, baby! I'm really sorry!" I can't contain my tears streaming my eyes blocking my eyes. I'm engrossed in watching the video and didn't notice someone entered my room. I'm startled by his embrace! "Sssshh! It's okay, just cry it out!" He whispered hugging me."Van I-I can't take this. Am I selfish to let him suffer like that!" I ask as my tears still dripping from my face. I choke on my saliva crying. I hurt the man I love. He fights, but I left him... My shoulder was still shaking in tears. I watched the video again unable to see, my tears blurred my eyesight,
Rex Pov...When Van left the office, Alejandro couldn't stop himself from crying and punching the table almost breaking. Releasing all his pain and frustration all at once! I couldn't breathe staring at him trying to suppress his feelings. I'm trying to avert my gaze suffocating me looking at my best friend suffer this much. Fate is cruel to him, not wanting to give him any chance. How pitiful to just stare at their pictures. Shit! That hurts like hell. His agony wants me to strangle Diane for causing this trouble. How dare she fabricated stories and landed on her own game! Anita, please come back to us! Uncle James and I just watched him pitifully sobbing whilst clutching the photos in his hand. His eldest resembles him as he grows older. Robbing two years from them is insane. If, this happens to me. I'll definitely go berserk! We stayed in the office for an hour before he finally asks to leave. I took his car keys and drive waiting for his instruction. We pass one of the stations
Diana Pov...It’s been three months since Alejandro released me. I'm elated to have my freedom back, though not from his hatred. When I left he still hated me to his core. His words were harsher and dark. His stare was deep and scrutinizing enough. I missed Arthur's birthday, but at least I can have it next year, the next year, and forever. The regret of wounding them creeps me, I just hope I can alleviate the pain I have caused by being greedy. I'm not still free, my perfect freedom is when I got their forgiveness until then, I will continue my life now. I miss two years of my life and two years with my son."Diana." Mom called startling my reverie. "Mommy, I'm here at the lanai." I responded wiping my tears."What's your plan now?" Mom immediately asks. Even my closeness with Mom changes after what I did. She proves that she will never tolerate my attitude and being immature."I'll try to meet my agent, to see what they have for me to save and start a small business." I smiled tim
Anita Pov..."Sweetheart, how are you? Venus is already two years old, when do you plan to come home?" Daddy immediately asks. "I'm just fixing our documents dad. We'll be there before you know it!" I replied. "That's good to hear sweetheart. We already miss you so much!" He beamed. "Likewise dad, I always miss you guys. Grandma let me go home, in exchange for participating in all her fashion shows and an annual visit here." Daddy laughed. "Just let it be sweetheart! She will soon retire and get busy with her other businesses." Dad slips still laughing. "How I wish that dad. She's getting old, but keeps insisting she's not!" I laughed in response to daddy. "Well, that makes her stay younger, sweetheart. That's her passion, if it wasn't for the modeling she's busy with, your mom probably still has more siblings. By the way, did you hear anything about Alejandro?" A deafening silence pass before I respond restraining myself not to collapse again. "Dad! How I wish I could turn bac
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
