“Say that again then I’ll push you off the cliff.”
Valentine pushed her eyes open, rubbed them, then she yawned. “Have we arrived yet?”
“No, not yet, but I don’t want you missing this scenery,” William spoke. She looked past his shoulders, where rays of red, pink, and orange were still yet about to stretch across the sky.
They were on a cliff, just by the side of the road.
“What time is it?”
“It’s 5 in the morning. I saw a store that’s open for 24 hours and decided to buy ourselves snack.” He twisted his upper body to reach the bag wherein he placed the food he bought on the backseat, introducing them to her. “What about we eat breakfast together by those safety barriers?” He pointed.
She nodded, agreeing. They stationed themselves comforta

They arrived. Valentine gawked as her eyes settled themselves on a massive contemporary-styled mansion. Its asymmetry and aesthetic vibe it gave out screamed at her, wanting her to feel at home. The minimalist undertones painted all over the contemporary mansion made it more welcoming and calming.The gates opened automatically when they got closer. It must have been a sensor gate, it detected their motion even they were just almost 2 meters away from it. She was speechless; their family was obviously rich. This even made her more anxious. She twisted her body as they drove past, she watched the gate close and smiled, amused.Flowers — mostly blue ones — were planted by the fences, lining up to the back of the house. William parked his car at the front, then he placed his hand on hers. “You’re going to do just fine.”“Hopefully,” Valentine mumbled.The couple got out of the car simultaneously, then they closed the

To her surprise, William decided to bring her on a date. She beamed non-stop, realizing that she wouldn’t have to endure Helen’s personality. Valentine bathed first, then he followed right after she finished.“You can hold my hand whenever you want to.” William brought his hand out for her.She felt like she was getting teary-eyed. Valentine gladly held his hand and they got out of the room. Now that their fingers were intertwined together, she had no other choice but to go wherever he would go.When they reached downstairs, William looked for Helen.Valentine inhaled heavily and felt her shoulders shrug. She was going to see the bothered mother-in-law again, even though she hadn’t done anything but appear before her at the doorstep. What was the reason why Helen saw her like that less than an hour? What was going on in her mind?They found Helen by the garden, watering her flowers. Quickly, Valentine released her hold

The thrill that came over her realizing that they hadn’t seen each other for almost a month then bumped into each other in a different city made her excited. She wanted to dive in for a hug but her hand was clutching on five sticks of fish balls. Valentine witnessed the disappointment in Adam’s eyes — who was standing right beside Delilah.“Is there something wrong, Adam?”“Nah, it’s just nice seeing the both of you together. My baby here’s been wanting to contact you but you’re always out of reach,” he answered, avoiding her stare as he looked down on the floor.“Yes, V, what happened?” Delilah asked as she placed her hands on Valentine’s shoulders.She smiled. “Nothing much. Drama here, drama there.” Technically, it was how her life’s summed up.“Let’s talk there on one of the benches,” Delilah suggested then she turned towards the me

Valentine wondered what was wrong with him. She recalled Delilah’s words a day after her wedding with William. She said Adam would yell and curse at her whenever she spoke on the night after the wedding. If Adam was going to stay like that with Delilah, it would be best if he’d just leave her.She felt something cold poke on her lips. Valentine looked up at the amused William, then she laughed. “What?”“We need to finish all of these first,” he answered as he brought the fish balls to her mouth.Hesitantly, considering that they were in public, with lots of people around the place and her friend Delilah right beside her, she just wanted to snatch it away from William’s hand and eat it by herself.“Don’t think about it. I’m feeding you,” William spoke threateningly as he poked her mouth. “Now, open.”Red crept up to her cheeks as she parted her lips. Gently, William pushed

A ringing sound of William’s phone took over the silence. Valentine looked at him, worried if he’d pick it up or not. He glanced at Adam and Valentine then said, “sorry, I’ll just have to take this.” He fished for his phone from his pocket then answered, “Hello, yes?” Valentine wanted to eavesdrop but the voice from the other end of the line was quite inaudible. She stayed silent but still wanted to know what it was about. Instead, her eyes focused on Adam — who was showing difficulty in avoiding her stare. “What?” he spat promptly, yet in hushed tones. His sudden manner of speaking made her to look back at him and mouth, “what’s wrong?” “Work,” he mouthed back then returned his attention to the caller, “tell them to contact me.” He stood up as he pulled the phone away from his face. “I’ll be back. I need to take care of this.” Valentine nodded, understanding that he’d be busy all the time. Nevertheless, she decided to take this opport

“Hey guys!” Delilah’s voice boomed across the floor. “I thought you left! It’s hard to look for you since this place is pretty much packed.” There were three employees behind her, carrying a tray on their hands. Valentine felt relieved as she didn’t want to take care of Adam anymore. She watched as Delilah rocked her hips sideways, walking towards their table. She sat down beside Adam and placed her tray. She and Delilah said their ‘thank yous’ to the employees as they placed the rest of the trays on the table then left. “Where’s your husband?” her friend’s question caused Adam to flinch visibly. “He’s on a call,” Valentine answered, with her eyes sticking suspiciously at him. And as she faced her left, William came into view. “Oh, there he is.” “Hey.” William sat down beside her and apologized, “sorry it took me that long.” “Where were you?” Delilah unwrapped her rice from the paper, looking curious. “Work.” “Ah, very

As they arrived to the dress shop, Valentine immediately pulled Delilah in. She dragged her friend towards the part of the shop where there were many dresses lined up, where they could discuss about Adam privately and to make sure that they were far enough as possible.When they reached the part of the shop, they halted.“What are you doing?” Delilah wanted to know the reason behind her abrupt action.“There is something you need to know,” she said.“Valentine?” William’s voice entered her ears and that’s where she realized that her husband followed them. Valentine’s eyes widened as she saw Adam with him.“You can go stay there at the bench. You know us, girls, we usually take an hour to pick our own clothes,” she laughed nervously.“Okay. We’ll wait there. But take note that I’ll pay for your dress and Delilah’s if ever she wants one.”&ld

The lights inside the room were dimmed, although it was dimmed enough for them to see each other. They were standing near the bed, with William behind her. “I want to see you wearing it again,” William pleaded. His breath tickled against her neck as he moved the strands of Valentine’s hair aside to kiss her nape. “No,” Valentine replied promptly. What was he thinking? They already had a three-year old Xavier and a two-month old baby Yvonne to watch over. They just couldn’t simply hit a home run now that they had company. “Please? It’s been years since you wore my gift. I just want to see you in it one last time,” he begged. She scoffed, not believing in him with his words. “Are you certain with that ‘one last time’ of yours?” “Yes, I am.” She was convinced. Valentine sighed and wiggled out of William’s arms around her. She looked for the white lingerie he gave her the day after their wedding. It definitely had been a while since she wo

Twelve months had passed since they popped out the news of her pregnancy to Helen. And the mother-in-law herself popped the news out to the guests during her birthday celebration as well. Considering that there will always be paparazzi everywhere, it made the big announcement as a headline for the next day’s television news. Just after a few days since the announcement, Dave Henson, the manager of the restaurant where William proposed to her, apologized and introduced himself as William’s cousin. The second ‘little bird’ who did background checks on her for Helen. As Valentine didn’t want drama in her life anymore, she forgave him. After two months since Valentine gave birth to their first son, they went on a ‘little’ outing trip. Valentine, William, their baby, Billy, Helen, Vaughn, and Lucy went to Paris, France. Every time she would catch Lucy’s stare at her, she’d always receive multiple apologies at once. Yet, she forgave her too. Either once, twice, or

Just as planned, Valentine was already inside the room, she was just standing a meter away from the door, her back against the wall, and the gift she made for Helen was on her hand. William closed the door and she heard every step of his shoes click against the floor as he left.It had been minutes but Helen still hadn’t arrived. She was getting anxious; Valentine might have gotten inside the wrong room. Because of the nervousness she was earning, she’d been tightening her calves for a while now and they ached.Rather than making herself stand against the wall and wait for someone that took ages to arrive, she decided to get out of her position and pace around the room.The door opened as Helen came inside. To Valentine’s luck, it seemed that her mother-in-law hadn’t noticed her yet as she was busy talking with William. Quickly, Valentine went back to her previous position.As Helen walked in, she saw William carrying the gifts she

Valentine returned upstairs right after her conversation with Helen ended. Her husband was on his laptop. Based on the way he almost had his face plant itself to the monitor of his device, it showed that he typing away as if his life depended on it. Well, of course. William’s life did depend on it. She smiled at her silliness. “Hey.” “Why did you want to talk with her?” William asked as his eyes were still focused on the screen. “I wanted to tell her about this.” She circled her hand around her tummy as a gesture for him to understand why. His face softened and he closed his laptop. “How did it go?” the way his voice sounded smooth and cozy made Valentine want to jump on him, cuddle and scoop with him until this evening. “Well…” She plopped herself down on the bed, sitting with her back slouched and continued with a tone of disappointment, “I didn’t get the chance to tell her.” “And that’s because?” “I think your mothe

A maid knocked on their doors, as she said loudly that Helen requested for their presence as she wished to eat breakfast together with them. Valentine figured out that this could be the opportunity she’d take to tell her mother-in-law about the great news — which, she thought could be the reason if Helen would change her perspective of William and her.They got out of the room. Valentine thanked the maid for informing them and they followed her towards the dining room. Helen was already sitting on her seat with her food untouched.“Happy birthday,” Valentine greeted.She didn’t receive a verbal response. Instead, she received a stare. They ate their breakfast. All she could hear was the clink every time their spoons and forks knocked lightly against the plates. Just when they finished, Helen started a conversation about the company with William, making Valentine left out.She had to keep herself quiet just like what she did l
