Witty AssistantAfter Devi bid goodbye to Yanzy, her phone beeped immediately. Hindi na s'ya nagdalawang isip na sagutin 'yon dahil ang tumatawag sa kanya ay walang iba kundi si Alice. Alice is her witty but very reliable assistant."Boss, why didn't I reach you for hours? Tinatawagan kita ng paulit-ulit pero ang operator lang din ang paulit-ulit na sumasagot sa akin. Thanks, God, I finally reached out to your number. Kung hindi ay ipapa-blotter na talaga kita boss," ang bungad agad nito sa kabilang linya.Devi frowns. "Blotter?""Yes boss, kasi lagpas bente kwartro oras na nang hindi kita makontak. You know, it is really strange. Mawala na ang lahat pero alam ko ikaw hindi."Devi pursed her lips. Alice is a second demotion of Yanzy, kaya alam niyang katulad ni Yanzy, sunod-sunod rin ang tanong nito sa kanya."I'm fine, Alice. What's the matter?" tanong rito ni Devi."Well, boss. I just want you to know that there is someone who investigated your background—"Devi cut Alice and said,
Green Tea, HoneyAfter Devi placed her phone on the bedside table, she decided to go to the kitchen. Sa pagkakaalala niya ay apat na oras na simulang hindi niya namataan si Hugo.Devi was thinking about what was going on with Hugo, kung ganoong inaatake siya ng gastritis niya. As Yanzy says, hindi basta basta nawawala ang pananakit ng sikmura hangga't hindi iyon nagagamot. And she was wondering if Hugo had already taken medicine.'But how does he take medicine kung hindi sapat ang kinain niya kanina?' Devi thought.When Devi reached the kitchen, she immediately opened the refrigerator and looked for some ingredients that she needed for Semolina Porridge.When Devi found what she needed, she then started to prepare it. First, she boiled the two eggs, then she ready the 2 tablespoons of semolina in a bowl, 1 cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of olive oil. After Devi stirred it, she then put it in the latest model of microwave. Her next is to blanch the spinach leaves into hot water for only 1
Buried"Alright, as long as you will make my green tea, honey.""Honey?""Yes, honey?"Devi was rendered speechless. Her cheeks burned red because of Hugo's word of endearment."Can you be serious?!" she snorted.Hugo said nothing, and at that time his focus was on a porridge that he ate. It seemed he was enjoying it, and also drank the tea, but then she noticed his ugly expression while sipping."You're not a fan of tea?" tanong niya rito."I don't want the taste of the tea," he said placing down the glass."That tea will help to relax your stomach. Ngayon pa lang sanayin mo na ang sarili mong uminom niyan.""I don't like it. I still choose coffee.""Are you really tired of living?""The doctor said, I can drink coffee like dark roast coffee beans that will have varying levels of acidity. He also said for those who enjoy their daily brew but want something gentler on their stomachs due to conditions like gastritis, low-acid or decaffeinated coffee options provide great taste along wit
Only OneBefore Devi could react, Hugo's lips immediately pressed her lips without hesitation.Devi immediately gasped. Her whole body stiffened, her eyelashes flustered, her palms on his chest slightly trembled, while she also held her breath, and his heart started beating fast.Hugo's arms held her slender waist while kissing her slowly but deeply. When he realized that Devi was holding her breath, he stopped and looked at her intensely."Breath," his alluring voice whispered..Hugo's voice woke Devi up. Doon pa niya pinakawalan ang pinipigilang hininga. She was gasping. Napalunok rin siya habang mariing nakipagtitigan sa mga mata ni Hugo. Her heart is still beating fast."W-why—"Before she could finish talking, Hugo's lips came close again, and then kissed her lips firmly. Pinabawi lang pala siya nito ng paghinga saka sinunggabang muli ang kanyang labi, and that time Hugo deepened the kiss. Ang kanyang mga palad na nakatukod sa dibdib nito ay hinuli ni Hugo. She was now pressed by
Coffee to TeaDevi finally slept, but in the middle of the night, her sleep distracted slightly. Dahil inaantok pa ang buong diwa niya ay hindi na niya iminulat ang kanyang mga mata. Devi felt there were warm arms that wrapped around her body. Itutulak sana niya iyon ngunit pinigilan nito ang kanyang kamay.She felt that person slowly place her head in something warm embraced. Devi immediately found a comfortable place to lay, in her sleepiness she positioned herself where she was comfortable and hugged as she slept soundly again.Hugo smiled while staring at Devi's sleeping face. He found her very adorable. Hindi niya mapigilan ang sarili na higpitan ang pagkakayakap sa katawan nito, and he also kiss her forehead saka niya pinatay ang ilaw sa lampshade.The two of them sleep peacefully while embracing each other.*****The next morning, Devi woke up when she felt that someone was eyeing her while sleeping. Pagmulat niya ng mga mata ay bigla siyang pinamulahan sa magkabilang pisngi nan
She EscapeDevi finally got away from Hugo's harmony villa without his knowledge. Isang araw rin siyang magmanman, nagmasid, at nagplano kung paano siya aalis sa bahay na iyon ng hindi siya nahahalata ng mga kasambahay nito habang si Hugo ay nasa opisina nito.Her skills are enough for her to escape. Hindi niya akalain na magiging problema pa niya ang pagtakas sa bahay ni Hugo. It's like she's a prisoner, and she has no right to get out without his order.What a joke. She is Devi Miller, a woman that no one can suppress and order her around. For her, she is the ruler in her own world.Devi dressed like a servant, she managed to impersonate Ana. Dahil isa rin siyang magaling sa art of makeup, madali niyang nagawang gayahin sa pamamagitan ng paggamit ng makeup ang mukha ng kasambahay. She made a move when Ana was with her, she made her sleep with some techniques that she learned in special martial arts. She feels sorry for Ana, but she has to do it in just for hours. She badly needs Ana
Grey IPhoneDevi stayed in her apartment for 3 days. Wala siyang ibang ginawa kundi ang magmukmok magisa. Gumigising siya ng maaga upang mag exercise sa mini garden set ng buong comfound nang cityscape apartment. Then go to shower, prepare and eat her healthy breakfast. Saka siya haharap sa harapan ng kanyang laptop upang gawin ang lahat ng trabahong nakaatang sa kanya. She also held short voice conference meetings and attended voice online discussions. Araw-araw ay ganoon lang ang nangyayari sa buong buhay niya. No hassle and no complications.Working online is very convenient for Devi. Dahil isa siyang private specialist, no need for her to show personally in those indoor Conference meetings. Isa rin kasi sa mga rules niya ay 'Not showing personally and not dropping her true identity'. That's why, all of the people who she has been working with were very curious about her identity. Ni hindi alam ng lahat ang totoong hitsura niya. Ang alam lang ng lahat ay isa siyang babae. Si Alice l

The Best"You... you're what?" Hugo stammered and frowned."Pregnant... I'm pregnant." Devi said with gladness."Y-you're pregnant? H-how come?"Devi's face slowly turned sour. She didn't think her husband questioned her pregnancy like that. "You mean, how did it happen? Of course, you are always active in bed. So, pinaghihinalaan mo na hindi sa'yo ang bata?" she feels angry with Hugo's reaction. She slowly unclasped her hold on his neck.Hugo immediately explains and tightens his hold on Devi's waist. "Don't get it wrong, honey. I mean, how come, I've always been careful most of the time. How come we produce a baby in an instant?" Hugo gently explained."Oh, it's a babies." Devi corrected him."What do you mean, babies?" nagtatakang tanong ni Hugo rito."Twins. There's two little creatures in my womb." Devi smiles while saying it.Hugo was dumbfounded. His eyes blinked seriously while staring at his smiling beautiful wife."Hubby, you're not happy with our babies? Don't you like them?
I'm PregnantAfter Hugo hung up, he immediately called his wife. He patiently waits until Devi picks up the phone. Pero natapos na lang ang ring ng hindi pa nito sinasagot ang tawag niya.Mas nangunot ang noo ni Hugo. As he remembered, Devi usually picks up his call after three to five rings. He placed down his phone.All of the people around their hearts skipped a beat when Hugo's eyes looked at them. Hugo is about to speak when his phone rang. Agad niya iyong sinagot ng makita si Devi ang tumatawag."Honey... What's the matter?" Devi's warm voice was heard on the other end of the line.Hugo's angry face adjusts a little. "Are you okay?""Yuh, I'm fine. I'm in the middle of the meeting when you call me that's why I didn't answer your call.""Mom told me to check you. Are you not feeling well?""Hey, I'm fine."Hugo frowned. "Sure?""Yuh.""Hm..." Hugo is not convinced. Hindi naman siya tatawagan ng ina niya kung hindi ito nagsasabi ng totoo. "Are you still in the meeting?""Yes, but i
FearHarvey and the old couple frowned."What did you say?" sabay na tanong ng tatlo kay Jhulia.Jhulia warmly smiles at them. "I said... my daughter-in-law, Devi is pregnant with twins.""Sweetheart, really?" Harvey asked with a smile.Jhulia nodded. "Yeah. Ava, my gynaecologist friend, confirmed it this morning when I brought Devi with me for a check-up. It happened that I suspected Devi's pregnancy without her knowing. Kaya dinala ko siya sa clinic, and..." she looked at her husband, "Sweetheart, we are going to be grandparents soon. I'm very excited because it's a twin. Our son is really amazing.""What a good news. By the way, where is Devi?" tanong ni Harvey sa kanyang asawa.Kumunot ang noo ng dalawang matanda habang nakatingin kay Jhulia."Devi... uh, I can't stop her from going to her company. She is having a meeting today, so she asks me to drop her in the office after I treat her to satisfy her cravings.""What? You let her work?" Helga asked Jhulia with a frown."Mom, kilal
Break The NewsAfter the check-up, Jhulia and Devi bid goodbye to the O.B. doctor."What do you want to eat?" tanong agad ni Jhulia pagkapasok nila sa kotse.Devi glanced at her mother-in-law. Nagisip siya kung may gusto ba siyang kainin sa mga sandaling iyon. "Nothing...""Nothing?" Jhulia raised her eyebrows."Yeah.""Are you sure?"Devi nodded."Come on, tell mommy and I will buy you anything you want. Anyway, may sinabi ka kanina na gusto mong kainin. What is it again?" Jhulia asked Devi when the driver opened the car engine."I don't like eating now.""No. Tell me again.""Mommy, lumipas na ang cravings ko, wala akong maisip na gustong kainin ngayon. Um, can you please drop in at the Miller Company, I have something to do in my office.""No. Tell me first what food you like to eat, saka kita ihahatid sa office mo." Pamimilit pa rin ni Jhulia sa kanya.Devi has no choice. "Alright, I want strawberry ice cream with chocolate syrup and creamy doughnuts. That's all." Inulit na lang ni
Twins"Congratulations, you are pregnant Mrs. Devi Ivanov." The doctor confirms Devi's pregnancy.The words 'you're pregnant' keep on ringing in Devi's ear.Napapatulala siya na napatingin sa doktora habang ang dibdib niya ay lumakas ang pagtibok."Yesss..." bigla namang napasigaw si Jhulia sa magandang balita at agad niyakap si Devi na nakatulala pa rin sa mga oras na iyon."A... am I really pregnant?" Devi stammered."Yes." Sagot naman ni Dr. Ava at Jhulia sa kanya.Devi swallowed hard and blinked her eyes beautifully. She didn't know how to express her emotions, knowing that she was pregnant."Are you not happy?" Jhulia said."I am overwhelmed, mom. Of course, I am happy. But... I don't know how to express it."The two women chuckled at her cute reaction."Well, of course, it's because this is your first time being pregnant. Well, congratulations again.""Ava. Kailan ang expected due date ng daughter-in-law ko?" Jhulia asked her friend in an excited tone."To know when we need to ru
Run TestDevi was a bit wondering when Jhulia urged her not to drive and bring her car. She just asked her driver and drove them instead."Mom, where exactly we were going? You didn't let me drive. Pwede naman ako na lang ang magmaneho at magdala ng car. I can drop you anywhere you want after this, or I can send you back to the mansion again before I go to the company."Jhulia shook her head. "No. Ayokong mapagod ka. Since Hugo says that you look tired everyday. Well, ano ba ang nangyari may sakit ka ba?"Umiling si Devi rito. "No mom, but yeah these days nakakaramdam ako ng kakaiba.""What kind? Tell me, darling.""Like, I feel tired, I feel dizzy sometimes, I get irritated in such small matters. I also feel sleepy and lazy all of a sudden. And I hate Hugo when he's always against what I want. Like what he did this morning. And weird, I also feel emotional instantly.""Kailan mo lang ito naramdaman, hija?" Jhulia seriously asked her."I think a week ago, Mom."Jhulia gently smiled an
Breakfast2 Weeks LaterDevi and Hugo are still in the Ivanov Mansion. Hugo's grandparents are still with them. Gustong gusto na ni Hugo ang bumalik sa Villa nila at masolo si Devi but his grandparents and parents didn't allow them as long as his grandparents were there."Grandma, Grandpa, kailan ang balik niyo province?" Hugo asks them while they are having breakfast.Helga and Victor frowned upon hearing it.Victor put down the newspaper that she was reading. And Helga stopped eating."Are you trying to send us out?" Victor asks narrowing his eyes."You brat, at balak mo talaga kaming pauwiin na?" Helga said throwing Hugo a deadly look."I'm just asking. My wife feels bored staying here at the mansion." Hugo uses Devi dahil malakas ang asawa niya sa mga ito. They really adored Devi since there is no woman in the Ivanov family."Si Devi o ikaw?" Helga sneered.Harvey smirks. Alam niyang uwing-uwi na ang anak niya sa Villa nito kasama si Devi.Hugo pursed his lips and silently ate his
PinnedAt the parking lot. Hugo and Devi were hand in hand walking in their car. Agad lumabas ang driver ng kotse at binuksan ang backseat. Malapit na sila sa kotse ng biglang huminto si Devi sa paglalakad."What happened?" Hugo asked frowning."Honey, I'm tired of walking. My ankle is hurting." Devi said, complaining.Hugo smirks.Devi slowly raised her arms. "Carry me, Mr. Ivanov, please?" she cutely said.Hugo nodded. "Of course, my clingy wife," Hugo whispered and carried Devi into his arms.Devi instantly hooked her arms around her husband's neck and leaned into his arms. "Thank you, hubby. I love you."Hugo was pleased.After he placed Devi in the car. Isasara na sana niya ang pinto. But Devi pulled him inside the car. Hugo has no choice but to get inside dahil si Devi na ang umusod papasok.When the driver got inside the car, he immediately pulled down the partition of the car.Devi instantly moves and snuggles into her husband's arms."Are you drunk?" Hugo asks her.Devi shook
Old CoupleDevi was satisfied with her husband's kiss. Her eyes sparkled again while learning Hugo's broad chest. Tumingala siya rito at ngumiti. She reached the corner of his lips and wiped the red taint with her thumb. Hugo let her do it while embracing her waist.The powerful couple is showing affection to each other while Emma is still in front of them.Emma couldn't take it anymore; she avoided staring at them while walking in the background with her heart aching.Ang hindi nila alam ay ang mga paparazzi na sikretong kinukuhanan ang mag-asawa ng mga larawan. May kuha rin habang nandoon si Emma. Ang paghahalikan rin ng mag-asawa ay kuhang kuha sa kamera."Are you tired? You want to go home now?" masuyong tanong ni Hugo kay Devi.Devi nodded. "Yeah. But, everyone is still here even your family. How can we go home just like that?" Devi said and yawned.Hugo smirks and kisses her forehead. "Come on, ako ang bahala."Devi nodded. "Okay."Hugo gently drags Devi, but before they can reac
