But I realized that after a problem is solved, there is another problem to solve. It is inevitable. What matters now is that I have someone to face all of those problems and trials, and everything will be light. Hindi na magiging mabigat sa akin dahil may katulong na ako at kasama. Gwapo pa at mayaman. Ano pang poproblemahin ko?
"Tama, hindi mo dapat tanggihan ang grasya," sabat ni Erl na siyang nagpaputol sa pagpapantasya ko. Natawa na lang kaming lahat dahil sa komento niya.
But a smile vanished from my face when I felt something eerie in my stomach. I felt nauseated. Naduwal ako, causing them to look on synchronously.
"Hey, are you okay?" "Jothea, ayos ka lang?" sabay-sabay nilang tanong, pero hindi ko na nasagot dahil nagmadali ako sa pagpunta sa faucet. Rinig na rin
"I'm here, baby. What happened?"Bakas ang pag-alala niya sa boses niya.I pouted, suppressing my tears. "S-sorry for taking up some of your time, Ismael. Can I just go there instead? I have something to tell you."I am biting my nails while waiting for his answer."No need to say sorry, baby. Why? Is there something wrong? Why is your voice like this?""It was just—" Tuluyan na akong napaluha at dahil sa ginawa ko, mas lalo ko lang siyang napag-alala. Bakit ba kasi ganito niya ako tanungin? He's pushing the buttons of my vulnerability."Don't move. I'll go there."Ism
"Makipagkita ka sa akin kung ayaw mong ikalat ko 'to."Napapikit ako. This will definitely destroy Ismael more than me. This shouldn't be seen by him.I tried to call her, but the line wasn't connecting. The next thing I received was an address. At hindi ako nagdalawang-isip na puntahan 'yon. I immediately went out of the company and took a cab to go to the location Roxsielle sent me.Naalala kong muli ang pag-uusap namin nila Ismael at Sav noon sa Europe. Of course, she would have a copy of it because she's related to Raviel, or, should I say, she's the half-sister of that guy. For sure, she has been conspiring with him since the very beginning. Because if not, why would she contact me again? Ano na naman ang kailangan niya? What does she want from me this time
"What are you talking about?" lakas-loob kong tanong sakaniya, kahit na ang mga paa ko'y hindi makakilos o makatakbo man lang palayo. "Mabubuti ang pamilya ng Mondalla! Mabubuti sila sa akin!""To you, yes, because they will benefit from you, but to us? Do you know what his grandfather did to us? That professor's grandfather produced an arson in the city of Laranez in 2008 which killed my parents. Pinasunog niya ang mga bahay namin para lumikha ng problema para matulungan...para magpabango sa mga tao."City of Laranez?That's where we lived before.Hold on.Arson in 2008?Namutla akong lalo nang maalala ko ang sunog na nalikha ko sa bayan ng Laranez noon. Iyon ba ang tinutukoy niya? I was
"And it irritates me." Ipinagpatuloy niya ang pagbuhos ng gas sa paligid. Nagtangka akong humakbang palayo ngunit binantaan niya akong bubuhusan ng gas kapag umalis ako."Subukan mong umalis, pasisiklabin ko 'tong lahat."I was brave enough to accept that this was my end since I deserved it all, but when I suddenly remembered the thing inside my belly now, I started to become more scared. What if this baby is Ismael's and I couldn't protect it? Would that mean I failed to become a mother? At magiging tatlo na ang buhay na tinapos ko dito sa mundo?"I am pregnant, Raviel; hayaan mo muna akong maipanganak ito bago mo ako gantihan, please," pakiusap ko na mas lalong nagpabugnot sa kaniya."Ginagago mo ba ako?" Ibinagsa
At dahil sa tunog na iyon, alam ko na kung sinong tumatawag. Nakangising ipinakita sa akin ni Raviel ang screen ng phone ko. It was Ismael.Napapikit ako at napakagat sa labi habang pinipigilan ang paghikbi. "Please, Raviel, don't do this. Leave him alone..." But he remained deaf to my request. Tumayo siya at akmang babangon na ako nang apakan niyang muli ang tiyan ko. Napangiwi akong lalo sa sakit."What a ringtone," he bantered as he answered the call and put it on a speaker."Baby, where are you? I'm here at Safira. Where did you go? Hindi ka raw nagpaalam sa kanila."My tears intensified upon hearing him as I put my hands on my lips, biting my skin, attempting to calm the hiccups caused by crying.
ISMAEL'S P.O.V."Nine x minus seven i, greater than three, multiply by three x minus seven u." [The equation described is: 9x - 7i > 3 (3x-7u) ]Who on earth would give an activity in the middle of this terrifying situation? I let out a sigh. I hope Jothea will be distracted for a while and buy time for me.I immediately went out of Safira and called Mr. Tory. The unglorified tears were attempting to bug out of my eyes. What I learned stirs me inside."Mr. Tory, the plan B," I immediately ordered when he answered the call."Acknowledged," he spoke. As far as I was concerned, I was rejecting that plan, but clearly now I have no choice but to execute it. Numerous times, I have kept my silence and done my actions in secrecy because I don't want our family's name to be involved, but here we are now, with no choice.I was about to enter the car when someone called my name. It was Joth, rushed to appear in front of me while catching his breath. "Sir, we have a situation here. I saw Roxsiell
"Sir, I apologized; we're working on the plan, but our men are insufficient. In order to dispose of those bombs promptly, we require more backups. I've also contacted the authorities to help us keep track of Miss Alvandra."I closed my eyes for a moment. I still can't believe Raviel was willing to involve innocent people just to lure me out. I don't think this is about his parent's death anymore. He must have held a huge grudge against me. "Do everything, Mr. Tory. Jothea's life depends on it," I pleaded. "How about we call her parents?" he suggested. "No, don't do that." I declined. Knowing her parents, they won't bother to help, since I know they were trying to conspire with Raviel before. I just realized that when they went to Mondalla's residences. They knew about Jothea's recent stay in my penthouse. Just like how Raviel discovered it when he told everyone back at Marcus University about us.I also received a couple of blackmails from Jothea's mother, and that's why I was reall
I finally found myself arrived in the lot where Jothea is. A long chain hung from the ceiling, binding her hands. She was standing up, wet in every part of her body. Her head is dripping blood down to her ivory face. She was unconscious. I immediately rushed over to her in haste to free her, but I suddenly noticed it wasn't water at all; rather, her entire body was drenched with gas.I tapped her face, waking her up, and I did it several times, losing hope for her to open her eyes."Jothea, please wake up. I'm here," I cried while clearing the hair on her face and tucking it behind her ears.Slowly, her lids opened, and her eyes met mine, and that was when tears started to pour again. "Ismael..." She called my name with a smile. "You're here. I'm saved. You saved me again." She closed her eyes again, causing me anxiety."Yes, my love. I'm here. Please don't close your eyes for me. Keep yourself awake," I told her while completely unbinding her hands. She immediately fell into my arms,
She felt my completeness and absorbed it without delay. I groaned. As she continues to pound herself into me, her hands rest on my shoulder."Professor, can you help me?" she pleaded. "Lift me up, professor. Lift me to the heavens!"I loosened my tie before I consumed her breasts. I sucked them all in as I helped her build tension inside.I swiftly lifted her to the bed to resume having sex there. I also took off my clothes and pants before getting on top of her again and entering her abruptly. My arm rested on the bed as we continued to make out."P-professor...""Stop calling me that, Jothea. Our show is done.""Why? I miss you as my professor." She spoke while grinning. "We never had sex at our university.""Because that is a decent place, Jothea. Ayokong ihiga ka lang kung saan basta-basta."I briefly sensed the discharge of her bodily fluids as her smile intensified. "Gosh, that was unexpected." With a
He chuckled. "Tito Danjer also told me that. I guess he's also in love.""He is, and you will experience it someday at the right time, in the right place, and with the right person. You just have to be patient, okay?""Okay, Dad. I love you.""I love you too." He went into a deep slumber shortly after closing his eyes entirely. I went to check on Iso, who had gone to sleep beaming. How cute. He looks like his mother."I'll be with you later, baby. I'll just have to attend to your mother's needs." I kissed his hand and head before completely leaving the room.I entered the other room and saw that my wife had just come out of the bathroom. She's totally naked and looks like her breasts are beckoning me to suck them."They are getting bigger," I commented before approaching her. I carefully cupped her breast using my right hand. "You know that I am not a fan of non-vanilla sex, but what about we try to roleplay?"She grumbl
She turned to me before glaring at me. "Hey, tama ba ang nakikita ko? Tinatanggihan mo ako?" she asked. Hold on. I smelled her, and there was no hint of alcohol. Also, I knew she wouldn't drink because she was still breastfeeding, but why was she being so rough with me today?"No, my love. That's not true. I was just worried that Cal might see us here." She hit my chest. "Palibhasa, hindi mo na ako mahal na mahal, eh!""What?" My eyebrows met."May babae ka ba? Sabihin mo sa 'kin! Bakit ayaw mo? Hindi na ba ako maganda?""W-what? What are you talking about?" I asked in disbelief."Nagsasawa ka na ba sa 'kin, kaya hindi mo na ako madalas tabihan? Iiwan mo na ba ako?"I caressed her cheek. "Hey, I don't know what you're talking about. You are always beautiful in my eyes, and I have no other woman. You are the only woman in my life. I never looked for another. Ano na naman bang ikinuwento sa 'yo ng best friend mo?" I tried
"Congratulations, Mr. Mondalla. We managed to save both of them. It's a miracle."My knees got weak, and I ended up on my knees while continuously thanking God. Does he mean my wife and my child are both saved?"Can we get inside?" Mom asked the doctor."Yes, you can."They went inside first, while I was still gathering the courage to see my wife's face.I felt the doctor tap on my shoulder. "You just chose what is right, Mr. Alvandra. Thankfully, your wife appears to be aware of your decision, which is why she is fighting for her own survival with her child.""Thank you, doc." I just hugged him."Thanks be to God." His final farewell to me was a pat on the back. With all my strength, I stared into the room."Nasaan si Ismael?" I heard my wife's delicate voice."I'm here," I responded. She turned to me and gave me a wide smile, as if she didn't make me worry about her at all."What's with you?
"And you're still as patient as ever, Ismael. I'm so lucky to have you as my husband. I never had a moment that I regretted getting married at such a young age."She leaned over to look at me. She caressed my face. "I'm happy, Ismael. Since the day we got married, you have ensured that I have never felt lonely or abandoned. I am really grateful."I drew her nearer so we could embrace. I ran my fingers softly over her smooth back rather than her chest. "I am grateful too. I am proud that you are the mother of my child and my wife. You know that you alone can complete my life, yet you have blessed me with a child, and I still want to have another one. That proves that you will never abandon me.""I won't; didn't I promise that? Also, who told you that I only want another one, Ismael? I want eleven more."It made me giggle. "Be careful what you wish for, my love.""How I wish we'd get good news after tonight," she whispered."I hope
"Good job, my baby boy. Now, just like you said, I'll take over. Let me bring you to your nanny, okay?" "Yes, Dad!" I kissed Jothea's cheek before I winked and left the room. "I'll play with you tomorrow, so don't come to our room tonight. Do you understand?" "Yes, Dad!" Before leaving my intelligent son with his nanny, I put him to sleep. I made sure to remember to lock the door when I swiftly returned to our room. I undressed the second I heard the water running in the shower so that my wife and I could take a relaxing bath together. As I held her naked body, I could feel her trembling. "Did I tell you that you're getting unbelievably beautiful every day?" My voice was raspy as I whispered. While she felt my gentle touches on her body, she twisted around to face away from me. "Stop it, Ismael. Let's just take a shower and sleep. We're not supposed to do this tonight," she resis
"My love, what are you doing there? It's getting cold. Cal is waiting for you," I said before I walked to the balcony where my wife was. It's already eight in the evening, and she's still there outside, standing up and looking at our field.I embraced her close. "What's bothering you?" Under my breath, I spoke.She shook her head. "Iniisip ko baka may problema sa akin kung bakit hindi tayo magkaanak.""But the doctor said we were both healthy and fine.""Yes, and we're following the diets, and we're making sure to make love based on our plan."Her tone betrayed a hint of unease, which I picked up on. I kissed her cheek. "Didn't I tell you before that it was out of our hands? If God still doesn't see that it's the right time for us, then He will not give it yet. Let's just be patient, my love."I held her chin to kiss her. I noticed the tears in her eyes. "We'll be fine. Let's just enjoy the moment while Cal is our only baby. Havi
"You like this?" I asked. "I love it." The satisfaction in her squirming prompted me to touch her back. "Relax, baby." I persisted in licking her femininity even as she turned her back. "Can you just let me sit? I don't think my legs can stand," she complained. "That's my goal, baby. I'll fuck you hard while we're here until you're unable to walk anymore." I got to my feet before I broke through her defenses once more. Unceasingly, she wailed. I embraced her tightly as I sensed her knees weakening. I kissed her smooth back as I continued thrusting like a wild beast. "Ismael! I'm cumming! Ahhh!" I feel that she is because of the tightness of her grip on my hands. "Wait for me." After what seemed like an eternity of moving, my warriors finally began to disperse. I pulled out my canon before bringing her to me to kiss me again. "Hindi ko na alam kung tubig pa ba ang b
"Ahhh!" That was her sound when I inserted my finger into her now-drenching flesh. She seemed to be just as enthralled as I was. She plays with my hair while biting my bottom lip. She's dominating. She's been more than aggressive since we tied the knot."I want more, Ismael," she whispered hoarsely. Without hesitation, she shoved me onto the bed. She took off her dress strap while still standing, and her clothes plummeted to the floor in an instant. Her stunning white lingerie is now crystal clear in my mind.She crawled on top of me. I couldn't help but smile as she swiftly undid my belt and secured it to her palm using her teeth.She's insane. Not her dancing above me while her hands are in the air."Suck me," she ordered, drawing her chest up to my face. I reached and kissed her underarms as her hand remained raised. "Not there! Ahhh!""Where should I then?" She remained silent and let out a low groan as I went on with what I was doing
