That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 84: A Taste Of Bliss
CHAPTER 37: A Taste Of BlissNagkamalay si Gael dahil pakiramdam niya may mga matang nakatingin sa kanya. Nang tuluyan niyang buksan ang kanyang mga mata, saka pa lamang niya naramdaman ang matinding pananakit ng kanyang katawan. He closed his eyes again as he recalled the events before he passed out. Dread clenched his chest once again. There's fear. And then there's the thought of losing his family... forever. Lahat ng takot at kalituhang na naramdaman niya kahapon ang nagpangyari upang tuluyan na siyang magpakababa at magmakaawa. Yesterday, he had decided to lay down his everything at the feet of his enemies. He was willing to be stripped off of everything he has just to get his family back. And when Charlie came out to talk to him-- the rain, the pain, the threats-- none of those mattered anymore. All that mattered was Charlie and the hope she carried with her as he walked over towards him.And just when they were starting to have a little bit of clarity regarding their situati

PART 2"I hope you wouldn't mind that I will keep Charlie from her work for a while, Gael. For the meantime, ako muna ang kakausap sa mga tauhan ninyo sa Oceanlink. I will be representing Levi and Charlie," anang Daddy ni Charlie kay Gael habang naghahapunan sila. Dalawang araw na si Gael sa kanila. But it was only now that he had regained enough strength to join the rest of the family for dinner. Kanina, dumalaw ang Grandma at ang Uncle Joshua at Uncle Kiel niya. Together with her parents, kinausap ng mga ito si Gael in private. Hindi niya alam ang pinag-usapan ng mga ito subalit natitiyak niyang nagkalinawan ang kanyang pamilya at si Gael.Sandaling bumaling si Gael sa kanya, ngumiti bago ibinalik ang tingin sa Daddy niya. "I'll call my assistant first thing in the morning, Sir. I will inform him about the new arrangement. But I do assure you that there will be no problem on our part."Tumango-tango ang Daddy niya bago nagpatuloy sa pagkain.Her Grandma smiled and roamed her eyes

“One sunny side-up coming right up!” nakangiting sabi ni Gael bago inilapag sa harapan ni Levi ang plato ng niluto nito."Thank you, Daddy!" masiglang sagot ng anak nila bago ito nagsimulang kumain. Kasalukuyan silang nag-aagahan na mag-anak sa penthouse kung saan pansamantalang tumutuloy si Gael. She and Levi had moved there a little over a week ago and they had been living in bliss since.Gael is nothing but a doting father to their son and loving husband to her like he had always been. He takes care of all their needs kahit na mas gusto niya sanang siya ang mag-alaga sa mag-ama niya. But Gael insisted that it must be him that should take care of them for he had been absent in their lives for the past five years. Kaya naman hinayaan na lang niya. Alam niyang gusto lang nitong bumawi kanya at maging kay Levi.Lalong-lalo na sa anak nila.They had only been together as a family for a few days but she can almost see now how Gael will spoil their son. Lahat ng hilingin ni Levi, binibig

“This better be it Hugo or else you will really hear from me this time,” gigil na sabi ni Charlie sa assistant ng asawa niya habang pinagbubuksan sila nito ng pinto ng sasakyan kung saan sila nakalulan na mag-ina.Namutla si Hugo, bahagyang yumuko. “I’m just following instructions, Ma’am. I hope you won’t take it against me.”She huffed and rolled her eyes bago siya bumaba sa sasakyan. She’s not pissed. She’s just annoyed.Paano, para na siyang mababaliw sa pag-aalala kanina habang patungo sila sa Prime Mall. Only when they arrived there, Hugo met them and told her that Gael was fine and that they just needed to pick up something at the mall. That irked her instantly. Lalo pa at ayaw sabihin ni Hugo sa kanya kung saan nagpunta ang amo nito. But before she could even lash out at Hugo, dumating ang isang babae at iginiya sila sa novelty shop nito kung saan nagsukat ng ship captain costume si Levi.She really doesn’t understand what the costume is for. But she withheld herself from sayin

Charlie watched as Levi’s eyes widened as the man on the next house performed a magic trick. Her little boy clapped his way to amazement after the trick, so as the other kids.“Those men are professional magicians. Mabuti na lang at nakumpleto silang lahat on the last minute,” sabi ni Gael.Her brows furrowed instantly. “You mean to say hindi sila ang may-ari ng mga bahay dito?” Umiling si Gael. “Who owned the houses then? Buti pumayag silang ipagamit ngayon para sa trick or treat ni Levi,” tanong niya, habang patuloy sila sa paglalakad na dalawa.“Us.”“What?”“We owned the houses here on this street, love. I bought them all just for this.”Napahinto na siya sa paglalakad, bumaling sa asawa. “What did you say? W-we owned all of these houses?” Kalmadong tumango si Gael. Lalo siyang napanganga. “You cannot just buy a whole street, Gael! Saan natin gagamitin ang mga bahay na ‘to pagkatapos? We cannot live in all of these 12 houses!” she said, incredulous.She’s not knew in splurging. O

“Here, have some coffee,” ani Charlie habang ibinababa sa harap ni Gael ang tasa ng kape na siya rin ang may gawa.Nag-angat ng tingin si Gael sa kanya. His eyes, just like the few days that have passed, was distant—gloomy. It was as if she's not there. O mas tamang sabihin na nasa iba ang isip nito. He forced a smile. “Thanks, love,” anito bago tahimik na dinala ang tasa sa bibig nito.She released a slow breath and sat on the chair in front of her husband. They were at the balcony of the Bernstein mansion. It was already late afternoon and the sun was beginning to set on the horizon. But she feels like Gael’s day was just about to start.Ito kasi ang nagbabantay sa lolo nito sa gabi. Mula nang dumating silang mag-anak sa Germany halos tatlong araw na ang nakararaan, hindi na natigil sa pag-aalala si Gael sa lolo nito. Why wouldn’t he? The old man was shot on the chest by one of the three butlers in the mansion, whom, they had found out later on, had been working for Alaric for the

“Des Auge (Eyes).” “D-des Auge.” “Die Nase (Nose).” “Die N-nashie.” “No, schatzi. It’s die Nase.” “Die N-nase.” “Very good, Levi! You are a fast learner just like your Dad.” Nagmamadaling lumingon si Levi kay Charlie. Her son’s eyes were sparkling with pride. “You heard that, Mommy? Grampy said I learn fast like Dadddy!” Charlie chuckled and walked over at the bed where Levi and Aksel were. She reached for her son’s cheeks and gave it a gentle pinch. “I heard that, sweetheart. Now why don’t you go with Jacob for a while and let me help Grampy with his food,” aniya. Mabilis na ibinalik ni Levi ang mata kay Aksel at nagmano sa matanda. “Bis später, Grampy! (See you later, Grampy!)” bibong sabi ni Levi bago lumabas sa silid ni Aksel. “You raised a really smart boy, Charlie,” ani Aksel nang sila na lang dalawa ang naiwan sa silid nito. "That's because you are a great teacher, Aksel. Don't you agree?" she said as she helped Aksel sit on the bed. The old man chuckle

Nilingon ni Charlie ang tinuro ng matanda bago tumayo at humakbang patungo sa lumang bureau na sinasabi nito. On top of it were the Bernstein family pictures from decades long ago.. She carefully pulled the topmost drawer and took out from it a small box that was made of wood. Carved on top of it was an ornate letter B, probably symbolizing the family’s surname. She walked back over at the bed and gently placed the box on Aksel’s waiting hand. He stayed silent for a while, just eyeing the box in his hand. His eyes were glazing with unshed tears, like he had been recalling a distant memory. Ilang sandali pa, hinamig ng matanda ang sarili at nagsimulang magsalita. “I promised my late wife to give this to the next Bernstein lady-of-the-house.” Nag-angat ito ng tingin sa kanya at inabot ang kanyang kamay. “That’s you, Charlie,” anito bago tuluyang inilagay sa palad niya ang maliit na kahon. “Go ahead. Open it.” She slowly did and she gasped when she saw a beautiful vintage emerald

Dahil na rin sa pagod sakakaiisip at kakaiyak, tuluyang nakatuog si Charlie. Nang magising siya, madaling-araw na. She can’t believe she slept that long and missed dinner!Dinner. Shes' not supposed to miss any meals!She secretly groaned, realizing what she did.That has sent her to the edge of panic and relief all at the same time. Sandali siyang nakiramdam. Gael wasn’t cuddling her like he used to. She turned to her side carefully and she saw her husband sleeping on his side too facing away from her. Napalabi siya. Mukhang nagtampo na talaga sa kanya ang asawa.Hindi bale, today is officially their anniversary. She can tell him her secret now.Mabilis niya itong niyugyog. “Gael, wake up,” she whispered.He groaned, shifted slowly and lied on his back. Singkit ang mga matang tumingin ito sa kanya. “W-What? What is it?”Umusog siya kaunti palayo rito. “You have to get up. I’ll tell you something.”He huffed and clicked his tongue. Subalit bumangon din. Sandali itong bumaling sa orasa

“Again? Pero puno pa ang fridge niyan, love. Nakita ko kagabi nang bumaba ako sa kitchen,” reklamo ni Gael kay Charlie nang muli siyang maglagay ng dragon fruit sa cart. They were out grocery shopping in a local grocery store in Cancun. They have been staying there for a week now in celebration of their second wedding anniversary. It was a trip she didn’t really want to take at first because she easily gets tired lately. But when Gael told her that she will call the shots every time, she was in in no time.She rolled her eyes and faced him. “Can’t you get it? I’m not buying them for me to eat. I’m buying it because they looked cute,” pagrarason niya, muling naglagay ng dalawang piraso pa ng nasabing prutas sa cart.Gael huffed. “Should I buy you a dragon fruit farm?”“Of course not!” sabi niya, muling naglakad sa aisle ng prutas na kinaroroonan nila.“What about a grocery store then? You want me to purchase this grocery store for you?”Namawaywang na siya at hinarap ang asawa. “You

“Are you ready?” tanong ng Mommy ni Charlie sa kanya.She filled her lungs with air and gave her mother a slow nod. “Yes,” she replied smiling.Gumanti ng ngiti ang Mommy niya, nangingilid ang luha. Masuyo pa nitong inabot anag kanyang pisngi. “I wish you all the happiness in the world, sweetheart.”“Thanks, Mom,” sabi niya bago niyakap ang ina.They stayed like that for a while bago sila nakarinig ng katok sa pinto. “Hey, the music’s starting and all the guests are waiting. Don’t tell me may balak ka pang itakbo ‘yang anak mo, Sam,” said her father’s familiar voice outside the door.Natatawa nilang binitiwan ng Mommy niya ang isa’t-isa. Sandaling nitong pinunasan ng panyo ang gilid ng mga mata nito bago siya muling nginitian. “Let’s go. Your Dad cannot wait to give you away… officially,” pabirong sabi ng Mommy niya bago inabot sa kanya ang kanyang bouquet.When her mother opened the door to her room, she was met by her father’s loving gaze. “Finally,” anito, nakangiti. He gave her

“Ate, sa ‘yo na po ito,” anang sampung taong gulang na batang babae sa kanya. The girl was handing her a big white gumamela flower she probably picked near the gate of the orphanage. Napangiti siya, bahagyang yumuko bago tinanggap ang bulaklak na inaabot ng bata. “Talaga, akin na lang ‘to… ano nga ulit ang pangalan mo?” “Chamy po, ate.” “Salamat, Chamy.” The child gave her a soft smile in return. Akma na sana itong tatakbo pabalik sa mga kalaro nito sa ‘di kalayuan nang pigilan niya ito. “Ano nga palang gusto mong maging paglaki mo, Chamy?” The child beamed at her.“Gusto ko pong maging nurse, Ate!” Sandaling nangunot ang noo niya. “Bakit naman nurse, Chamy?” “Gusto ko po kasing alagaan si Lolo Gael d’yan sa kabilang building.” Lalong nagsalubong ang mga kilay niya. “Lolo Gael?” Mabillis na tumango si Chamy. “Gael lang po kasi ang alam niyang banggitin. Kaya Lolo Gael.” Tumuwid siya ng tayo, hinayon ng tingin ang building ng carehome sa mga matatanda na naroon din sa compoun

It was a manic day for Charlie. No. It was chaos spelled in all caps.She’s running late from her appointment “Hey, slow down, beautiful. You’ll hurt yourself,” nakangiting sabi ni Gael sa kanya, sumandal pa sa hamba ng pinto ng walk-in closet niya.“Go away, Gael. You know I cannot be late today,” sabi niya habang naglalagay ng sunscreen sa mukha. Gael chuckled. “Bakit, hindi ka naman late a. You still have at least an hour and a half to spare.”She scoffed and picked up her blush powder. She won’t wear her full make-up today. “An hour and a half spare that I’ll spend for travel. You know how’s Manila traffic in the morning, Gael. It’s one of the worse and I can’t afford to be late today. Nakakahiya sa orphanage at carehome! At lalong nakakahiya kay Ate Sophie.”It’s true, kasama niya sa pagpunta sa bahay-ampunan at carehome ang kapatid ni Jasmine ngayon. Siguro, kung hindi lang kapapanganak ni Jasmine, baka kasama rin niya ito ngayon.Visiting orphanages was a thing she had been d

Gael jumped out as soon as the car pulled over infront of the police station. Doon sila dumiretso nina Gray at Jacob mula sa simbahan. Aside from Lena, wala nang sino pa mang nasaktan sa masamang insidente na plinano ni Alaric. And it was more than a relief for him. Now he can focus on one thing, ang puntahan si Charlie sa mismong police station.Pahapyaw nang sinabi ni Jacob sa kanya kung ano ang nangyari, subalit hindi pa iyon buo. And not only does he need to talk to Charlie for the full details but he also needs to see his wife to calm the lingering worry in his chest. The picture of Lena dying in his arms was still vivid iin his memory. And he cannot stop thinking that, it could've Charlie dying in his arms and...He shook his head, willing the unwanted thoughst away. Charlie is fine, he convinced himself before picking up his pace. He was at the director’s office in no time. Agad naman siyang hinarap ng pinuno ng kapulisan. Sandali niya itong kinausap at sinabi nito mismo sa ka

Sandaling namanhid si Gael sa kanyang nasaksihan. Panandalian niyang kinumbinsi ang sarili na imahinasyon niya lang ang lahat. Na nasa maayos na lagay si Charlie at walang kaguluhan na nangyayari sa mismong araw ng kanilang kasal. He even tried to blink a few times—willing the dreadful scenario away from his head. But when he opened his eyes, his bride, his wife still laid there on the cold ground, bleeding.With his chest constricting, he tried to stand up, wanting to go to Charlie as soon as he can. But his bodyguard nearby kept him from doing so. Anger burned his skin in an instant. He had to go Charlie and no one, not even the damn death god himself could prevent him from doing so.He turned himself onto the ground, lying on his back, and gave the bodyguard hovering over at him a straight jab to the jaw. Napaupo ito, bago siya mahilo-hilong binitiwan. He took that chance to crawl his way to Charlie, who fell near the entrance of the church. ‘I like the water, Kuya Gael. Can you t

Hindi matapos-tapos ang pagsipat ni Charlie sa sarili niya sa lifesize mirror na nasa kanyang hotel suite. Hindi pa rin siya halos makapaniwala na naroon nga siya at ikakasal ulit kay Gael. This time in a church and in the presence of their family. Well, some of their family. But nevertheless their families are present and that’s the most important thing.She looked down at her ring finger. The emerald engagement ring and the ink she had five years ago are there, a testament of everything she had gone through loving Gael. But she’s glad she finally made it right there at that very moment, when she can declare to the whole world that Gael is hers as much as she is his. That in the world of broken promises and dreams, of heartaches and of tears, Gael is her always—the one she will keep on choosing to love as long as she breathes.Her phone rang, immediately stopping her train of thoughts. Agad na nagsalubong ang mga kilay niya nang mag-register sa screen ang pangalan ni Gael. She picked

Kanina pa nasa harap ng salamin si Gael subalit panay pa rin ang pag-aayos niya sa kurbata ng kanyang suit. The damn thing just won’t align! Frustrated, he took it off altogether and huffed. He’s anxious for some unknown reason. Gray, who arrived last night, said at it must be the wedding jitters but he refuses to believe so. He’s just on edge because he didn’t get to see his wife and son for hours now. Sneaking in at Charlie and Levi’s hotel room crossed his mind a few times last night. With his skills as a former elite boduyguard, he could do that with no sweat involved. But his grandfather gave him a talk about keeping his word and just wait until it’s time for them to meet at the altar again. Subalit naging sobrang napakahirap niyon sa kanya dahil sa iisang hotel lang silang naka-check –in na mag-anak—just different floors. Idagdag pa na talagang makulit si Tala at panay-panay ang pagbabantay sa mag-ina niya, h’wag lang niyang makita ang mga ito. Gray told him to have a little
