"Here's the folder," he said without looking at me.. I checked every paper again and saw that there was one paper that needed his signature. “Kalvis — Sir Kalvis, there is a paper that has not been signed. I guess you forgot to sign it."He looked at me with an unpleasant stare. He seemed to be upset. "Veronica, just come back here, later. Come back here later because I have something else to do. Something that is more important than that.”I frowned because of what he said. Why does he have to send me back here when he can sign right now. "Sir, maybe you can just sign it now. It won't take a minute to sign it."He stood up. He leaned on the table and took a deep breath. He came out from the middle of his table and swivel chair to come near me.I bowed so that I could not look into his eyes trying to destroy the piece of strength that I have this morning. "Look at me," he ordered me. I bit the inside of my lower lip while slowly staring at him. “Sir?”"In our lives, there are t
-Marcov-I felt like the sky had fallen on me when I heard Kalvis' voice. "Son?!"I looked back at Veronne and she was restless because Kalvis was staring at her intently. "Dad?! You know what? You are really getting worse!”My heart was beating faster and faster. I'm frightened that Kalvis might shout here and maybe someone might hear us. "Kalvis, don't make a scene here. Please, son?”The right side of his lips lifted while his eyes were looking at me like a tiger that is ready to tear his target. I raised him by myself but it feels like I don't know him anymore. "Your face is thick, dad. Telling me that seemed to be out of the supposed script. Am I really making a scene here? Me, dad? Really?”“Kalvis—”I saw how Veronne was shocked when Kalvis pointed at her, causing her to tremble. "Do not interfere with our conversation, woman. You are not part of this family! You better shut up if you don't want me to hurt your sensitive heart again!""Kalvis, I said, don't make a scene he
-Veronne-The flow of my work at Gray Ford Empire was becoming smooth. I have also met and know some of the company's employees. Actually, I came home late today because the rest of them left to party. I didn't know how to refuse their offer earlier so I went with them. I saw Marcov earlier outside the bar where my work colleagues and I were partying. He came home with me to the condo. He must have noticed that my way of walking was a bit zigzag, that's why he insisted on accompanying me home. And I let him accompany me to avoid any quarrels.I undressed in front of him. I didn't inform him earlier that I was going to join those who offered me a party, that's why he wasn't in the mood. He just looked at me blankly. "What's with that face, daddy? Are you jealous?”I sat in his lap and put my hands on his shoulders. I'm moving my hips on top of him but he still has no reaction. "Veronne."The smile left my lips because he moved and stood up. I was judged because of what he did. My e
I was staring at him the whole time because he was like a heavenly scenery that my eyes can't afford to lose sight of. I am happy because we're settled. I am still asking him questions that somehow annoy him as I want to see him having an annoyed expression, he is really handsome when he is annoyed."Why are you jealous of your employees?""Don't you see it, baby? Because I love you and I don't want you to be with other people. I can't just sit down knowing that you are talking to other people. Besides, you said yes to them and had a party with them without letting me know of it.""I guess you thought that you made the wrong decision to make me your secretary. Look at me now, surrounded by many people. My engagement in your company has even expanded compared to when I was a student. There are many people greeting me every day. It made me feel visible to the eyes of others."His elbows rested on top of his hard thighs while his fingers are holding each other in the space between. "Lik
My feet are stinging even though I don't have a wound as I walked off to Kalvis' office. I remembered that I forgot to return in the afternoon on the day he said I would. “Come in,” Kalvis', with his calm and cold voice said in a deep manner. I held the knob and twirled it a little before I pushed the door inside. He stared at me for no longer and put his eyes back on his computer. “G-Good morning,” I greeted him, trying to compose myself. The tension that the scene happened in the office of his father was still inside my head, stealing my thoughts away, and making me fear him again. “Good morning, mommy,” he said with a half smile on his face. I swallowed and bowed my head, trying to avoid his death glare. I hand him the folder being flipped to the paper he hasn't signed yet. “I-I almost forgot about this—”“I understand, mommy, don't worry about it,” he said, making me sighed deeply. My heart was racing at the moment he touched my hand under the folder. I pulled my hand and
Gazing outside of the window from my room, I am wishing that what Kalvis did in his office would be gone from my head..The week almost ended but I am still stuck with the moment he kissed me. He is really doing everything that will possibly make me stay away from his dad. I didn't attend to my duties for four days after Kalvis' lips landed on mine. I reasoned out to his dad that I am traumatised because of the cockroach that bumped into me. After several days, I don't have any other choice but to go to work even though I am not ready to see Kalvis' face again. Because of that kiss, I felt my body becoming weak when I heard Kalvis' voice inside my head. My body was reacting unusually if my left brain recalled his face during the time he kissed me. Even though I am having a hard time stepping inside the giant building, I still manage to smile back at the people who greeted me while their lips are smiling. “Baby, finally, you are here. I missed you so much,” Marcov said when I came
After 17 hours and 36 minutes of flight the plane landed safely on top of the shiny concrete field. “Ladies and gentlemen, we have just landed at Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Philippine Airlines welcomes you to Manila for your safety, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened until the fasten seat belt sign has been switched off. Please refrain from removing any hand carry items from the overhead bins until the aircraft has come to a full stop and the cabin door has been opened for you to deplane on behalf of the Philippine Airlines flight deck and cabin crew. We would like to thank you for flying with us. It was a pleasure to have you on board. We hope to see you again soon in one of your future flights once again from Asia's sunniest and the heart of the Filipino. Maraming salamat po and Mabuhay!”The man beside me stood up as if he's not with anyone. He took his luggage and then he went out of the plane. I took my own luggage and followed him. My shoulders rested a
I waited half of a minute before he get back to bed. I sighed. Without a choice I put back my luggage where I took it from. I opened the cabinet and saw that there are extra bed sheets in it. I took out a thick bed sheet and a pillow. I opened the bedsheet and positioned it at the vacant part of the floor. I put the pillow on where I'm going to lay my head on. I lay down and turned my phone on. I tried to connect on a free wifi. I received an email so suddenly I checked it. I saw a picture of Marcov heading to the airport. All that happened to his life was told by his emails. I have a smile on my face and never let negativity steal it from me. “Is that daddy, mommy? Did he miss you so much?”I let out a sigh to vanish the annoyance he is bringing. “Kalvis, please do not do this. I am trying to get rid of negativity, okay? If you cannot help me to absorb positive vibes, just do not talk!”“Are you not informed that the Philippines is also a democratic country? It means that I am
The couple of years after we buried his body at the cemetery passed, but the pain was still here with me. All the days we spent together and the nights we shared with each other were nothing but beautiful memories of two hearts that were once one. My tears crossed my pale face. As my hand lifted the glass I was holding, I suddenly smiled, looking at the city lights from the veranda. “Why can't I get drunk? ”I asked myself. In the years Marcov was gone, I was totally lost and nowhere to be found. I know we have kids I must take care of, but my eyes can't stand looking at them. Because they exactly got their looks after their father, Marcov, the man I loved the most. Dorothy and Amirah never left me. They cleaned the veranda where I messed around. They took care of my kids. And they were keeping me from seeing the good side of life, even though I am blind. Someone made me look beside me. It's his older son who really looks like him. He was not staying here anymore but gave me time
We decided to hold our quadruplet party here on some of the most authentic and beautiful beaches in the Philippines. Siargao is really the most visited place here. I heard from people who experienced this beautiful and mesmerizing paradise how accommodating the place is. I've read beautiful feedback from others. And their page got a ten-over-ten rating from the tourists. They sing happy birthdays to my children. I am totally out of appetite because of Margarette, the fake! After the short program, here comes the feast. A lot of food is placed on top of the tables. There are many Filipino delicacies on the menu. I just had puto, bibingka, and dinuguan. The sunset caught my attention. My heart is beating and aching as I am watching over it. Like the sunset, I am wishing that this agony I kept inside my heart would come to an end. My eyes are tired of shedding tears every night, and my mind is tired of having heavy thoughts over the days. I want everything to fall into place so I c
-Veronne-Carrying four angels inside my womb wasn't easy. It was tiring and made my body function less effective. But every time I heard their small cries asking for their milk, their comforts made me realize that everything was all worth it.The pain in my back and private parts when I gave birth to them was truly a nerve-wracking experience. But again, their smiles and their little laughs helped me define myself as a real woman. My aunt and cousin never destroy our family anymore. But Margarette was a total mess in my life. She was acting kind and made me believe that all the things I'd heard a few months ago were real, even though they were all part of her schemes. “Baby!” Marcov uttered. It was a second after I put my sons into their cribs. I looked at the white wall while thinking about how I was going to make Marcov believe me. I brought this up to him before, but he said that it was not real. Kalvis was protecting his wife, and my husband was protecting his son. I could
-Marcov- It's never easy to deal with a pregnant wife who is always changing her mind about everything. In addition to liking a certain thing, she would crave different things. She's been so picky right now, and what made me feel stupid was the weird thing she wanted me to do—not take a bath. Yes! It's really nasty, but I don't have a choice because if I go to the bathroom, I am only allowed to wash my face. “Marcov, come here! I want to smell you!” “Baby.” I was just calling her with my endearment for her, but her face was showing a disappointed face. I don't have another choice but to climb the bed and lay down with my head pillowing my hands. She then slowly laid down in my arms. She got closer to me and started to smell like she was smelling a cupcake that smelled so sweet. “Marcov. It's addictive!” “Baby, I really want to wash my body,” I said. “Ugh!” She suddenly punched my abdomen, and it made me run after my breath. It's impossible! I was really happy about my q
Kalvis was challenging me. Well, I will make sure that soon he will know the dirty plan of that woman. I admit to myself that I told him to accept her and try to love her, but never to be fooled by her scheme. Marcov followed me to the veranda, where I was drinking wine. He hugged me, and it made me feel calm.“Why are you here, baby? The night is cold.” “Nothing, Marcov. I am just thinking about something.”“Care to share?” I escaped from his arms and faced him. He took a goblet and poured his own drink into it. “Nothing important. You will soon know about this. Just wait.”“Lita mentioned that my son came here. Was he bothering you again? Tell me if he does.”“It's just a little misunderstanding, Marcov. Don't worry about it.” “Are you sure?” “Certain.” I smiled widely to remove the worry in his heart. He touched my face, and the warmth of his palm pushed me to close my eyes. I held his hand and slowly grabbed his hand until my lips could kiss his palm. “Make sure that no
Walking around inside the Greyford Empire made me feel indifferent. Before, I was just a hidden girlfriend of Marcov, but now I am treated so well and everyone praises me. “I knew it! I was really suspecting them to be lovers. But no one believes in me!”“Me too. I never doubted my suspicions! The way that Sir Marcov looks at Madame Veronne means the world!”“Correction, she seemed to be his universe!” “Hi, Madame Veronne! Good morning!” They greeted me. I smiled at them. The joy in their eyes seemed to be uncontrollable. They bowed to me many times. Before I arrived at the office, someone caught my attention. It's Kalvis. He just looked at me for a while and went in a separate direction.I was about to make another step when someone clapped behind me. It's Margarette. Her left brow was lifted while her eyes looked at me like she wanted to harm me. “Clap! Clap! Clap!” she said while clapping again. “You can't imagine that you really made it, right?” “Margarette, I did it! I did
-Veronne-I went to my mom, and he went directly to the company. I sighed when I remembered what he did.“Honey? How's the honeymoon? I am sure that it went well! So, am I saying that I am going to have a grandchild?” I smiled while we were in each other's embrace. “Mommy, I am not ready for that. Marcov needs me to support him in his business. You know that,” I said. “Wait, speaking of Marcov. Where is he?”“He went straight to the company. He needs to settle something. You know that his people won't be doing their jobs well if he is not around. Oh, mom. I remembered what he did earlier. He reported someone who just looked at me, and he was arrested!” My mom was surprised. She covered her mouth before she burst into laughter. Like, what the fuck? Why was she like this?“Oh! God! That's impossible!”“It's possible, mom! What was impossible? The most impossible thing here was your reaction? There's no reason to be happy about someone who was arrested for looking at another man's wi
-Marcov-We were both naked and had no space between our bodies. My member was working hard to reach her clit and make her moan like she wanted more of me. I couldn't afford to refuse the beauty that was possessed by her. She was beautiful but never like me, as she was underneath my body whispering the chants of love.“Oh, Marcov,” she said. I was looking at her face and trying to do my best to give her the best moment she will remember until the days when we were both old. My body pressed against hers. I slowly hung her right leg on my butt while digging to her depth.“Faster, Marcov! Faster!” “Uhhh.”I responded to her plea. I thrust faster than ever, feeling that the first legal sex we were sharing right now would never be compared before. This one feels so right, and this one would be a great memoir to keep in the bottom of our hearts. “Oh, Marcov! I can't take it anymore!” I pushed once, and she met my body. I could feel how her gate suffocated my dick. I am certain that she
Every woman dreams of being paired with a man who's oftentimes read the best-selling book of all time. It was a wonderful feeling that you were walking above the aisle while the man of my life was waiting until I arrived at where he was standing up. His eyes were nailed on me while I was heading in his direction. “Honey, I don't know what to feel right now. I am going to cry out loud out the happiness and sadness mixed inside my heart. God, baby. You are really a grown-up woman now, and I lost the chance to look at you while growing up, achieving your academic goal, and living the life of a woman that you want.” I stopped for a while and looked at my mother, who was guiding me when we were both in front of my groom. “By any chance, mommy, I never imagined walking down the aisle with you. But today, you proved that a mother is a mother, a woman who will always stand up and walk by her flower. Thank you for returning to my life and walking with me heading to my groom.” Tears fell fr
