Adriel was breathless by the time she got to Daphne’s house. She hastily knocked on the door and waited for it to open. It was already 8:00 in the evening, meaning she was already two hours late from the time that she was supposed to pick-up Zenon.The door opened, and the first person who greeted her was Daphne.“Where’s—““Shh,” Daphne placed her index finger in front of her lips.“Why?” Adriel asked in a much quieter voice.Daphne gestured for her to come inside, and there she saw the reason for Daphne’s actions. Zenon was lying down on the couch, sleeping comfortably while hugging his fox plushie.Adriel kneeled down to his level and softly caressed his hair. She smiled while looking at how peaceful her son was.“He fell asleep while waiting for you,” Daphne quietly said from behind her.The smile fell from her face and was replaced with an apologetic gaze. “I’m sorry, baby,” she whispered before placing a chaste kiss on top of his head.“Let him rest for a while,” Daphne said. “L

“What the fuck?!” Daphne said loudly, her voice resonating in the open, wide children’s park. Adriel quickly covered her mouth before she could say any more curses. They got a few glares from the other parents sitting on the benches next to theirs. Adriel shyly bowed her head and muttered apologies under her breath.“Quiet down, will you?” she whisper-yelled.“Mmhh,” Daphne pointed to Adriel’s hand, which was covering her mouth, signaling her to remove it so she could talk.“If I remove this, will you promise not to curse anymore?”Daphne nodded her head.Adriel slowly removed her hand from Daphne’s mouth and grimaced when she felt a wet sensation on her palm.“What the fuck?” Daphne repeated, but this time quieter.Adriel glared at her and slapped her lap. “I told you not to curse anymore! We’re in a children’s park!”Daphne ignored her comment and proceeded to bombard her with questions. “Zeth? As in the handsome boy you met on the farm Zeth? Infuriated and annoyed you to the maximu

Zeth sighed as he ended the call with his “mother.” She had called once again to pester him to marry someone and give her a grandchild. This was the second...no, maybe the third time of the month that she had called, and all three times, she said the same thing. Zeth finally told her that he doesn’t want to have a child in his lifetime just to shut her up.He placed his phone inside his pocket and massaged the bridge of his nose. He only talked to his mother for a couple of minutes, but he already feels demotivated to go through the rest of the day. That’s the effect that his mom has on him. At this point, he doesn’t even want to call her his “mom.”After hearing that Zeth’s phone call had finished. Adriel put on a straight face and knocked on the door.“Come in,” Zeth grumbled.Adriel went inside the room and made it seem like she wasn’t just listening in on Zeth’s phone call.“What is it?” Zeth asked. “Sir, the main models are already waiting for you downstairs in the conference ro

Kian was dumbfounded the moment he saw the kid’s face. No matter at what angle he looks at him, he still looks like Zeth. If he didn’t know better, he would think that the kid would be Zeth’s son.“Mister. It’s your turn to order!” Zenon tugged on the hem of his shirt. “Zenon, stop bothering strangers,” a woman, who Kian assumed to be the kid’s mother, said. The woman didn’t look familiar at all, so he just brushed off the possibility of Zeth having a long-lost son.“Sorry. I just wanted to tell him that the Choco Taco is delicious!” he exclaimed cutely, making Kian chuckle. He rarely found kids cute, but this kid is definitely cute. “I’m alright, little boy. You should just go with your mommy,” he said before finally ordering two Choco Tacos from the ice cream man.Cedric, who was busy texting someone on his phone, finally looked up and frowned when he saw that Kian just ordered. “What took you so long?” Kian nudged Cedric’s shoulder and discreetly pointed towards Zenon who was ha

“Zenon,” Daphne shouted from a distance when she saw that Zenon was with two other people she couldn’t recognize. She ran to where they were and went in front of Zenon, giving the twins a suspicious look. Kian and Cedric looked at each other, afraid that Zenon’s aunt would misunderstand the situation. “My mommy’s name is Adr—“ Zenon popped out from behind Daphne, but Daphne quickly covered his mouth before he could finish his sentence. She kneeled down to his level and whispered in his ear. “Zenon, what did we tell you about talking to strangers?”“But they aren’t strangers, aunt Daphne! See,” he spread out his hands. “They helped me clean up my mess.”“Oh,” Daphne said. Then if that’s the case...She got up from the ground and cleared her throat. “Thank you for helping my nephew. I’m sorry for being so suspicious the moment I got here.”Cedric shook his head and smiled. “No worries. We would have done the same if we were in your situation.”“Well then,” Daphne said. “I think we sh

Adriel hurriedly opened the door to Daphne’s apartment. She saw Daphne in the kitchen, making herself a cup of iced coffee.Daphne turned around when she heard the door opening, smiling at Adriel as she went in.“Hey, you’re back. Zenon’s taking a nap, so you can stay here for a while,” Daphne said. “Do you want some?” she asked, gesturing to her iced coffee.Adriel shook her head and sat down on the couch, nervously fiddling her fingers. Daphne sat right beside her and leaned back on the couch.“Oh,” Daphne said, clapping her hands. “Something interesting happened this day.”Adriel bit her lips and turned towards Daphne. “Did you, perhaps, meet a set of twins this morning?”Daphne’s eyes widened in surprise. “Are you a psychic or something? How did you know?”Adriel closed her eyes and placed her hand on her forehead. “Ah, I was hoping that it was just a mere coincidence.”Daphne frowned. “What’s wrong?”“The set of twins that you met...I know them,” she confessed.“Oh,” Daphne said.

“Found you," he smirked while looking down on Adriel. "Uncle twin!" Zenon shouted excitedly. Adriel's eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly covered Zenon's mouth just in case other people, especially Zeth, would hear his voice. "I knew I saw someone familiar when we first came in," Cedric smiled. "It turns out it was you," he then looked down at Zenon. "With your child." Adriel is at a loss. Her mind is running about a million miles per second, and all she can think about is that Cedric would divulge her long-kept secret to Zeth. Cedric chuckled while looking at the nervous Adriel. "Relax, I'm not going to tell him. Instead, I'm going to help you." Adriel looked up at his eyes to see if he was joking but could only see sincerity among them. "How?" she softly asked. He raised his hand, signaling for her to wait. He then brought out his phone and called someone."Hey," he said when the other person on the phone picked up. Cedric placed the phone on the loudspeaker so she co

"What?" Adriel spluttered. Zeth called for one of the sales attendants to bring out the clothes that the supposed model was about to fit. "Wait, are you serious, sir?" she warily asked. "I'm serious," Zeth nonchalantly said. "You have the same height as the model." He then slowly looked at Adriel's body from top to bottom, Adriel gulping when his gaze stayed longer on her chest area. “And it seems like you also have similar body measurements with her." Adriel looked down at the ground and bit her lips. “But, sir. I'm not qualified to try on these outfits. Maybe, I should just call a proxy model so she can be the one to temporarily replace our main model." Zeth shook his head. "I've already thought about that. And it would take up more time. I have a meeting in the afternoon, and it's already nearing 10 o'clock. This is the best option that we have." After he said that, the clothes were brought out by the sales attendant. "Here are the items, sir," she bowed her head before leavi

"Ooh la la," Adriel said as he ogled the man in front of her. Aria sat down next to her and also couldn't take away her eyes from the new gardener who was tending to grandpa Earl's garden. They had been in the villa for about a week now, and they were planning on going back to the city together in the next weeks or so. Right now, they were having afternoon tea on the porch. Adriel had already sent her kids to take a nap, so she invited Aria to eat outside on the grass since the weather was lovely. However, they were in for a surprising treat when they saw the new gardener that grandpa Earl had hired tending to the plants and grass. He was probably a 40-year-old male, and he seriously had lumberjack vibes. You know those types of men that you see in forests chopping wood up? Tall, muscular, and mature. It also doesn't help the fact that he's wearing nothing but a thin, white shirt that has already been drenched by his sweat, causing it to look transparent under the soft afternoon

"Baby, my baby," Adriel muttered in her sleep, her head moving from side to side. Zeth quickly opened his eyes to see what Adriel was talking about. He let out a sigh when she appears to be having a nightmare. "Angel," he gently said, patting her cheek softly. "Angel, wake up. You're having a nightmare.""No, don't take my baby away from me," she continued fighting him off. Zeth placed a chaste kiss on her lips, causing her to calm down. She opened her eyes slowly and was met with Zeth's reassuring face. Her eyes started tearing up, probably from all the tiredness and the hormones. "Where's our daughter?" she asked. Zeth smiled. "Our daughter is fine, angel. She's in the room next to ours," he said. Adriel finally let out a sigh of relief. In her dreams, she couldn't find her daughter, so when she woke up, she thought that everything would be the same. She buried her face in Zeth's face and inhaled his comforting scent. "I'm so happy," she said. "We have another baby in our live
Running Away with the Billionaire's Baby Special Chapter 6: His Past
"Oh my gosh," Aria exclaimed as soon as they arrived in the vicinity of the Zhang mansion. It was her first time coming here, and she couldn't believe that Kian hid the fact that they owned this kind of home from her. She knew that his family was rich, but she never even imagined that they were rich RICH. Kian scratched the back of his head, looking around the house where he spent his childhood in. All the good and bad memories came rushing to his mind—mostly the bad memories, though. Because of his family, he had quite a hard time growing up. If it weren't for Cedric, who was always with him when they were younger, then he reckoned that he must have gone insane. It's a good thing that his parents don't meddle with their lives anymore. As they grew up, they just started caring less and less. For Kian, that was better, though. At least now, he can choose the life he wants to live. "You okay?" Aria asked, looping her arm around his. Kian snapped out of his thoughts and tried his be

"Kian, Kian," Aria shook Kian awake as she looked at her phone in awe. Zeth had just sent her a text message, saying that Adriel had already given birth to their daughter, and there's nothing she wanted more but to travel to the province to see the precious little girl herself. She clicked her tongue as she shook awake her lover. "Wake up, Kian," she exasperatedly said. "Baby," she tried calling out her sweet nickname for him, but to no avail. She sighed and decided to bring out her final weapon. "We're not going to have sex for an entire month if you don't wake up right now."Like a magic spell, Kian woke up from his slumber and looked at Aria with wide eyes. "No sex? What? What's happening? What time is it?" he said, still drunk from his sleep. Aria smiled and held onto his arm, pulling him to stand up from the bed. "Let's go!" she excitedly said. "Where are we going, Aria?" He looked at the bedside clock. "It's literally 4 AM in the morning! Where do you want to go in this ung

Adriel rolled down the car window to let the fresh gush of wind run through her hair. She closed her eyes and breathed in the scent of the sharp grass and the fresh flowers. She was already eight months pregnant, and it's been getting harder and harder to manage her pregnancy each day since her due date was getting nearer. She's been feeling more nauseous in the city with all the pollution, so Zeth decided for them to stay in the province while waiting for her due date. Zeth chuckled as he watched his adorable wife smiling widely at the green scenery. Even if he'll be swamped with work the second he comes back to the city, he knows that it's better for them to stay here for the sake of Adriel's health. He's willing to do anything just to always make her feel at ease. "Aren't you feeling dizzy, angel?" he asked. Adriel looked back at him and shook her head. "No. The air over here is so fresh that I don't feel nauseous at all. Thank you for bringing me here despite your busy schedul

"Why are you so nervous?" Kian asked, looking at Zeth, who was pacing back and forth in the hotel room. "Fuck off," he said. Kian raised his hands up in surrender. "Damn. You don't have to be so sensitive."Zeth groaned and attempted to run his fingers through his hair. However, when he realized that his hair had already been styled, he quickly placed his hand down and continued pacing back and forth."You're making me dizzy, man. Sit down," Kian exclaimed. "Where's Cedric when you need him?" Zeth asked under his breath. "Hey," Kian said in an offended voice. "Your best man is right here!" he exclaimed, pertaining to himself. "Don't look for another person when I'm literally right here.""Yeah. You were my second option," Zeth deadpanned. "If Cedric didn't have to leave too early, then he would have been my best man."Kian rolled his eyes. "Whatever, man. You're stuck with me. And because you said that, I'm not going to comfort you. Instead, I'm going over to the bride's room upst

"How are you doing over there, bro? Have you been to the Eiffel Tower yet?" Cedric shook his head. "Not yet. I've never really gotten the chance to tour around," he said. Kian's eyes widened in surprise. "What? But you've been there for a week. You should go around the city when you have the time!" Cedric scratched the back of his head. "It's just that—It's hard adjusting to the atmosphere here. Besides, I took care of my papers for the company transfer, and I also finished furnishing my apartment. I didn't have any time to tour around." Kian sighed. "Are you deliberately staying in your own apartment?" "No," Cedric sheepishly said. "You're lying," Kian said. "I know that you're confining yourself in your own little space once again. There's no use in lying to me, bro. I know you like I know the back of my hand." Cedric clicked his tongue. "There's nothing interesting around here!" "You haven't even tried going out yet. How would you even know?" he asked. "Come on," Kian urge

“Let’s sleep,” Aria said after a heavy make-out session.“What?” Kian absentmindedly said, still dazed from the heated kiss they shared. Aria giggled. “I’m tired, honey. Let’s sleep,” she said, wrapping her arms around his waist and resting her head on his chest.After a few seconds, the rise and fall of her chest started getting deeper—an indication that she had already fallen asleep. Kian looked up at the ceiling and sighed. “Aria,” he said.As expected, Aria had already fallen asleep. He closed his eyes as he placed one of his hands over his crotch. He felt his hardening member underneath his think cotton shorts. He let out a sigh of disbleief before pinching himself. "Calm down," he whispered to himself. He looked at Aria, who was peacefully sleeping beside him, and couldn't help but bite his lips. It has been about two months since they started their relationship, and everything has been great since then. Sure, they bicker from time to time, but it's really nothing serious.

“Adriel Summers,” he smiled up at her. Adriel looked down on her lover, still unbelieving of the current situation. Of course, she had imagined this a thousand times in her head. Being married to Zeth and having the opportunity to stay with him until the end of their lives was one of her greatest desires. Now that the moment had come, she couldn't help but be emotional. “You have changed my life in the best way possible, and I don’t think I can live without you anymore," Zeth said. “I love you so much,” tears started welling up in his eyes. “I see you every single day, and yet I still feel like I miss you. I love you so so much, but I still feel like I haven’t loved you enough. So, allow me to love you for the rest of our lives. I may not be able to promise a perfect relationship, but what I can promise is perfect love.” “Will you marry me?” he finally asked the question. It was a brief statement, but nonetheless, it was perfect. Tears started streaming down Adriel’s face the se
