After Ten HoursAlice instantly shuts her mouth. Dahil may ugali pa naman ang boss niya na totohanin ang bawat sinasabi nito. Takot lang niya rito.Cody at the side wants to chuckle. Akala kasi niya hindi natatakot kay Devi ang assistant nito na tinawag sa pangalang 'Alice'.'Alice pala huh?'"Let me correct you," suddenly, Hugo spoke. "I am not your boss's boyfriend, I am her fiancé instead."Alice was stunned and instantly surprised. Nanlalaki ang mga mata nitong tumingin kay Devi. "Boss, is it true?"Devi's lips twitched. She pressed her forehead as if she was having a headache. "If you three don't stop talking, you can get out and talk outside!" Devi says in a low but clear tone.Hugo cleared his throat. "Cody, go now and drag this woman with you." segunda naman ni Hugo.Alice frowned and took a look at her boss. "Boss, I came along here. Since last night I had no proper sleep and haven't eaten yet because I was very worried about you. I am also very tired of getting here a.s.a.p.
Lucca & Xillin's VersionAfter the doctor and nurse changed Xillin's dressing ay nagpaalam na ang mga ito at lumabas na."Luna... I mean, what happened to you, Devi? Why are you injured?" tanong ni Xillin kay Devi habang nakakunot ang noo nito."She was injured just because of you." Hugo was the one who spoke."Hugo!" Devi warned Hugo. Of course, Hugo did not know that she was hired by Xillin's father to secure her safety during the event.Hugo just pressed his lips into a straight line."I... I look after you, and encounter your attackers," Devi said.Napaawang ang bibig ni Xillin. "Oh, I'm so sorry, Devi. Hindi ko akalain na may nakabuntot na masamang nilalang sa akin kagabi. Nadamay ka pa tuloy sa panganib ng dahil sa akin.""It's fine. Let's just be thankful that nothing else bad happened to you." Devi said trying to ease Xillin's guilty feelings."Yuh. I'm very thankful right now. K-kung wala ka at kung hindi mo ako nahanap kagabi... I really don't know where I am today. And what
Corny!"Xillin!" Lucca was trying to hide his irritation at Xillin's stubbornness."What?!"Lucca sighed. "Alright, I know you are still angry at me but, will you please calm down?""Angry? Why am I getting angry at you? Bakit mo naman naisip na galit ako sa'yo? Mr. Bozzelli, all I want now is to have a private nurse to assist me. That has nothing to do with you!""Why do you need other people? Can't I do what they can do?" tanong ni Lucca rito."Why do I need other people? Of course, I have money, I can afford to pay even if I get thousands of nurses to assist while I am here at the hospital. And of course, you can do what they can do, but the problem is I don't want you to be here. I must accept the help of other people than you!" Xillin's straightforward answer.Lucca stared at Xillin deeply and unblinkingly. His Adam's apple bobbed. He didn't realize na darating ang araw na aayawan siya ni Xillin nang dahil sa nangyari sa nakaraan. Of course, he did something wrong in the past. Ano
Unwillingly Release After two days of staying at the hospital, Devi felt very bored lalo at si Hugo lang ang halos nakakaharap niya at nakakausap. She was thankful because Hugo was there when she couldn't walk, ngunit hindi na talaga niya kayang ang humiga ng humiga sa hospital bed niya.Hugo did not let her walk a little. Lagi itong nakabantay sa kanya. Susubukan pa lang niyang bumangon at maglakad-lakad ngunit palagi lang siyang nabibigo.Hugo's line is always. 'Do you want to stay here any longer?'Kahit pa sabihin niya na okay na ang mga paa niya at kaya na niya itong ilakad ng bahagya ay hindi pa rin siya nito sinasang-ayunan. But at that time, ayaw ng paawat ni Devi. Alam na alam naman kasi niya sa sarili niya na kaya na niya ang maglakad ng paunti-unti."Devi!" Hugo warned her when she was about to get up."Hindi mo ako mapipigilan ngayon. I want to get up. Now, move aside!" Devi said in a clear normal tone."You can't. The doctor said—""I want to get up!"Hugo clicked his ton
White CoatDevi immediately fixed her wrinkled hospital dress as she heard Alice's grumbling tone."Boss!" tawag muli ni Alice nang tuloyan na itong pumasok sa loob ng ward ni Devi.Devi cleared her throat and faced Alice seriously. "What's the matter?" Devi asks not looking in Alice's direction."Oh, why are you standing now? Okay na ba ang mga paa mo boss?" tanong ni Alice habang nakatingin sa direksyon ni Hugo at Devi."Y-yes... They are fine. A-and, Hugo helped me to walk a little." sagot ni Devi rito na hindi halos makatingin kay Alice ng diretsyo."Oh, that's good. Anyway, what happened to your face boss? Your lips are swollen and your cheeks are even flushed red?" tanong ni Alice habang nakatitig sa buong mukha ng boss niya."H-huh?" Devi stammered."Yeah. Yung labi mo parang kinagat ng maraming bubuyog. Anong nangyari diyan? Have you encountered allergies today?" Alice's innocent question.Mas lalong nanginit ang buong mukha ni Devi dahil sa mga tanong na iyon ni Alice.Hugo ju
White Coat 2Devi blinked her eyes and was shocked. "Y-Yanzy?""Yeah, it's me..." Yanzy got inside. Went near Devi on the side of the bed and ignored the people around them."H-how did you know I am here?" hindi pa rin makapaniwala si Devi sa kanyang nakikita."So, wala ka talaga pa lang balak na sabihin sa akin na may nangyaring masama sa 'yo? Kung hindi pa nadulas sa akin si Alice ay hindi ko talaga ito malalaman? How dare you, Devi! I'm so very worried about you. But you...""I-It's okay now. Look, I am fine. Balak ko namang sabihin sa 'yo pero kapag fully recover na ako. I know, you will be worried about me being hospitalized kaya minabuti ko munang itago sa 'yo ang totoo. But I swear, I'm fine now." Devi long explanation.At the side, Hugo is just staring at the two women talking as if there are no other people around them. While on the other side, Lacyd looks stiffened and very much surprised."Your feet! Is it okay?" tanong ni Yanzy. Lumapit ito sa paanan niya, binuksan nito an
The More You Hate, The More You Love!Yanzy's gulped. Her eyes look down at Lacyd's extended hand."Doctora Yanzy, he's asking for a shake hand. Come on, accept it. Pareho naman kayong Doctor." Alice suddenly speaks.Devi observed Yanzy's expression, and she also looked at Dr. Lacyd Forb's expression.Hugo also observed, and then suddenly he remembered something. Napapatango siya habang napapatingin sa dalawang nakikipagtitigan lang sa isa't isa. "Didn't you know each other?" wika ni Hugo na ikinabigla ng lahat, except Lacyd."Oh, really? May nakaraan ba kayo Dr. Lacyd and Dra. Yanzy?" namamanghang tanong ni Alice."No. I don't know him!" agarang wika ni Yanzy at saka ito nakipagtitigang muli kay Lacyd. She became serious and calm, and her eyes turned cold. "Hello, Dr. Lacyd." tinanggap niya ng pormal ang pakikipagkamay nito at wala pang limang segundo ng hilahin muli niya ang kamay mula rito.Devi, of course, felt something was amiss. She continued observing Yanzy and she simply glare
Compatible And Perfect"Alright... Alice, as what you said. You still need to work with our paperwork. Now, you two will go." Devi dismissed the two scowling assistants."Alright, goodbye boss, and Dra. Yanzy." Alice bid goodbye and nodded to Hugo and Lacyd.Tumingin naman si Cody kay Hugo. "Boss, I must also continue with my work." wika ni Cody. Alam kasi niyang siya pa rin ang gagawa ng maiiwan n'ya na trabaho."Your choice," Hugo's only response.After Cody and Alice get out of the ward. Sinulyapan ni Devi si Yanzy."Where is your luggage?""In the hotel near this hospital," sagot nito kay Devi habang pagod na pagod itong naupo sa gilid ng kama ni Devi."You want to stay there? Or do you want me to arrange a convenient apartment for you?" tanong ni Devi rito. Alam kasi niya na hindi sanay si Yanzy na mag stay sa isang hotel. Mas gusto nito sa isang apartment na kumpleto na lahat sa kagamitan."No need. I will do it myself after I finish attending the meeting," sagot ni Yanzy sa kaib
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
