It hurts for me to realize how Rozzean changed because of what I did as Tali. Back then, I only thought of myself, and I hurt him so much with my decision to leave without telling him the truth.I was scared, but I didn't realize that he would be even more frightened by what I was planning to do. I thought he would just be angry with me. But now, as the anger has subsided, what remains is the fear that I might leave him again.Now, I looked at him while he was on a call with his cellphone. I overheard that it was work-related. After our meal earlier, we went straight to his room, and he immediately opened his laptop. He became busy, while I sat on the side and used my cellphone.I was chatting with Thes. She planned to come over tomorrow to discuss what happened.I glanced at Rozzean and my cellphone alternately. When he finished, he returned to the sofa and faced his laptop. I sat beside him and leaned on his arm."Is there a problem?"I liked his scent. I wanted him always by my sid
"I thought that was Klari's house?"The guard shook his head, "No, ma'am. Someone else used to live there, but they moved to Cebu. The deal was to pay half of the house first, but it seems Ma'am Klari wasn't able to make the payment. However, I heard that Ma'am Klari plans to pay the full amount, but due to the owner's anger and the delay, it's now up for sale."I nodded."Okay..."I smiled cunningly. I bid farewell to the guards and went inside. I headed to Rozzean's room and grabbed my bag."I will buy that house."I went to Klari's house, accompanied by one of Rozzean's guards. When I faced the owner of the house, I immediately expressed my interest in buying the property. She let me in to show the inside and outside of the house."The house is in good condition, Miss Dela Vezca. No termites, fresh paint. If you want anything changed, I can arrange it right away," the owner assured me.She's Mrs. Airene Gamboa. She and her husband live in Cebu. She mentioned having four children, a
"My blood pressure is rising, Tangi. That girl has the nerve to come here! Rozzean's venom, oh my, that girl with long hair, she's really into him. I just hope she won't come back, or she'll end up bald for sure!"I was just looking at Thes while she kept on talking. Rozzean and Luther have left again because they had something to attend to in the office. The two of them didn't stay long after the argument. I told Rozzean that I'm fine, and Thes is with me, so she doesn't need to worry.But from what I can see, I should be watching Thes because her face is still angry. Her emotions are up and down because of the clash we had with Klari earlier."Take a deep breath," I said and got a glass of cold water, "drink some water to calm down too."Manang, who is beside Thes, just looked at us. She seems concerned too. Earlier, I knew she was scared when I slapped Klari a few times. She wanted to stop me, but in my anger, I knew even if she tried to stop me, I wouldn't have listened.That's wha
I paused for a moment, my heart pounding rapidly as I gazed at him. My eyes watered. My chest rose and fell, and my hands felt cold. He stood beneath a large tree with many lights above it.As I realized where we were, my eyes widened.We are on a mountain! Behind him were brightly lit houses, cars, and lights on buildings. It's beautiful!"Walk, Tangi!"I heard Thes' voice. I looked for her and saw her on the side. My lips parted when I saw who was with her."M-Mommy... D-Daddy..."Aunt Cynthia, Uncle Royce, Luther, and Taki were with her. My Mom and Dad and also my brothers, their wives, and their children. T-They're all here! They're complete!When I redirected my gaze to Rozzean, I walked again. When I got closer to him, I lightly hit his chest."I thought you were busy! You're not answering my calls and messages!" I said to him.He handed me the bouquet of red roses and kissed my forehead and lips."I was busy, baby... I was so busy preparing all of this."I moved closer and hugg
The wedding date was changed, and Rozzean's wish for the wedding to happen this month came true. It will be on May 14. Rozzean told me that I don't have to do anything except wait for our wedding day because he'll take care of everything. I went back to my house for a while because it's not allowed for the soon-to-be-married couple to see each other.Superstition."I really crave ice cream."Thes looked at me when I said that. She's my companion in my room. I'm getting ready because we plan to go to the mall. I also messaged Rozzean that we'll just kill time there. I'm getting impatient staying at home. I'm on vacation from Tinatangi for now."Let's buy later—""The chocolate one, right? Suddenly, I'm craving for that."I feel like my throat is getting dry, and my tongue is specifically looking for chocolate. So after I finished getting ready, Thes and I immediately left. I didn't wait to reach the mall to buy chocolate ice cream because I stopped at a nearby convenience store."I don
I kicked him lightly and turned my back to him, covering myself with the blanket."That's your problem! And if that doesn't get little, I won't agree to make love with you!"I saw from the corner of my eye that Rozzean scratched his head. He slowly moved closer to me and slid under the blanket. I could feel his firmness against my back, poking me."Rozzean," I warned in my tone."Baby, it won't get little anymore. Besides, isn't it good to feel me inside? The longer, the better..." he whispered. His hand glided over my breast, massaging it.His lips were on my neck, giving it soft kisses. When I faced him, I gasped as he lifted me and seated me on top of him. I moaned when I felt him move."Rozzean!" I exclaimed, slapping his chest. I heard a hearty laugh."Sorry, Thaliana, I can't make it smaller. This is my size, and I'm proud."I averted my gaze from him."It might reach and poke our baby, so no more--""W-What? Poke the?"Rozzean turned me to face him. I saw the surprise on his fa
Rozzean and I decided to keep my pregnancy a secret until after we get married. We also asked Luther, Thes, and Ferline not to tell anyone for now. We wanted to share the news with our families after the wedding and surprise everyone with the fact that we were expecting triplets.The day we found out we were having three children was unforgettable, mostly because my husband fainted. I was worried about what happened to him, but when he woke up, I could hardly breathe from laughing.He was so embarrassed. Luther, Ferline, and my best friend Thes were all laughing too. Even I couldn't help but laugh. I felt sorry for him, so I stopped laughing when he hugged me, burying his head in my neck.Rozzean kept cursing and saying he was just so happy. He fainted from pure joy upon learning that we were having triplets.His sibling didn't let it go. Luther teased him about it all the time. I'm sure they continue to tease him whenever they're together."Beautiful!"I smiled at my hair stylist whe
After ten minutes, I saw the organizer approaching me. I opened the car door and stepped out. Many photographers were taking pictures as I walked."Ma'am, it's your turn to enter," the organizer told me.I nodded and thanked her. When I stood in front of the church door, I took a deep breath.As the door slowly opened, I tightly held my bouquet. Everyone inside the church was standing. All their attention was on me as I walked slowly.I looked at the aisle and saw Rozzean. He looked handsome in his black tuxedo. He was smiling at me, biting his lower lip. I also noticed him adjusting his suit, though it seemed fine to me. Is he nervous?When I reached the middle, my parents greeted me, and I kissed their cheeks. My father was crying again!"Dad..." I said.We continued walking down the aisle."I-I'm just happy... so happy, Tangi.""I love you, Daddy..." I said to him and looked at Mommy, "I love you, Mommy, thank you so much."As I walked slowly, I glanced around the people inside the
After 6 yearsWe are outside of the room. It's Rozzean's birthday today, and I baked a cake for him. I looked at my triplets. Their pointer fingers were on their mouths. I told them not to make noise.My pets, dogs, and cats followed us. I'm thankful that none of my children are allergic to animals, and they even share my fondness for them. Thalia always plays with Rose, while Rozwell and Rockwell prefer the dogs.When Lily barked, Rockwell sniffed at her, and our dog immediately stopped."Mommy, do you think Daddy will like our surprise?" whispered Taki."I think so," I replied to Taki and lit the candles on the cake.As I opened the door to our room with Rozzean, we entered slowly. My children covered their mouths to avoid making noise. My husband is still sleeping, lying face down on the bed, and his bare back is visible."Shhh, Rockwell!" scolded Rozwell to his brother.My triplets are not identical, but Rozwell and Rockwell do have a striking resemblance."You two, stop," Thalia
Thaliana Tangi Dela Vezca Valleje POV "R-Rozzean!" What the hell? I thought it was supposed to be next week? "Rozzean!" I shouted again. He hurriedly entered our room. When we locked eyes, he quickly approached me. "W-Why?" "My water just broke! I-I'm going into labor!" We locked eyes again. He didn't move. "Rozzean!" I shouted again. When he snapped out of it, he lifted me and headed to the garage. We passed by Luther. It looks like they're still working! "Is she giving birth?!" Luther asked. "Yes!" Rozzean was still barefoot, and when he started the car, I couldn't help but cry out in pain. "Fck!" "Let me drive; where are the babies' things?" Luther asked as he turned around. "Damn, yes!" I heard Rozzean say as he got out of the car. I felt like I was going to pass out from the pain. "Ahhh!!" I screamed as the stinging pain hit me. When Rozzean came back into the car, he had the babies' things with him. Luther drove fast. We headed to the hospital. Rozzean also tried
Rozzean Cyron Valleje POV"Baby... it's 1:45 am. What do you want?"I looked at my wife, who was frowning while sitting on our bed. We moved our room downstairs because I was worried she might slip on the stairs. It's dangerous for her to use the stairs since her belly has grown bigger. Ferline said it's normal, and we can expect it to get even bigger in the coming weeks."I want spaghetti. Can you cook it for me, my love?"I nodded and smiled at her. We left the room, and she held my hand. She sat on the side, watching me as I started cooking."You look handsome..."I smiled at her. Thaliana eats a lot, but she's not gaining weight. Maybe it's because she's always hungry and eats a lot due to carrying three babies. I understand her, so I'm always with her to fulfill her cravings. I'm working from home now. Thaliana said it's okay for me to go to the office, but I refused.Even if I go to the office, I won't be at ease thinking about her at home.Now, I am working online. When there a
The next morning as newlyweds with Rozzean, I woke him up with gentle kisses. Since he was still very sleepy, I told him I would go downstairs and prepare our food. He agreed and went back to sleep.In the kitchen, I found Manang, who was already getting breakfast ready, and I helped her."I'm Thaliana Tangi Dela Vezca Valleje," I said while looking at my wedding ring."Gosh... I feel like a teenager getting all giddy!"Rozzean is my husband... we are married."Tangi... calm down! Relax!"Once the food was ready, I went up to our room with a tray in hand. I entered and placed what I brought on the side table, then approached my still-sleeping husband."Good morning, husband..." I said with a smile and kissed Rozzean all over his face."Hmmm..." he's smiling!"We are going to eat--""I will eat you.""Oh, Rozzean, seriously! I went downstairs to cook for you, don't tease me with your 'I will eat you' if you don't eat what I cooked, I'll be upset!"He suddenly sat up in bed. His eyes ha
It felt like a dream, our wedding with Rozzean. I couldn't stop smiling and laughing for almost the entire time because of unexpected and joyous events. Even my Dad danced with him. It was the first time I saw my Dad dance like that.Even my siblings joined in the fun. However, the most memorable moment was our family's reaction when we announced my pregnancy. My parents even shed tears in the end."Baby..."And here he was, Rozzean, just entering our room. He was behind me, trailing his lips along my back as he unzipped my wedding gown."Are you sure?" I asked."Hmmm... you didn't ask Ferline earlier to be sure."Ferline was at the reception earlier, but of course, I felt shy asking her about intimacy while being pregnant with triplets.I looked at her after Rozzean fully brought down my gown."W-Wait. Doesn't this need a shower? Let's take a bath first!"Rozzean smirked and then shook his head."I can't wait," he said, claiming my lips.It was obvious!I smiled and held onto his nec
After the incredibly joyful intermission number by my family, Rozzean approached me, breathing heavily. He held my hand and hugged me, placing his lips near my ear and whispered."It's embarrassing..."I laughed again and patted his back."You're embarrassed about that? You were so into it."I heard Rozzean's hearty laughter. When he let go of me, I wiped the sweat from his face and neck. He was really sweaty, even though the reception was air-conditioned!"It was Thes' idea. She said you'd be thrilled if I danced the jumbo hotdog. And she was right."I glanced at Thes, who was focused on her cellphone screen, probably watching the video she took earlier, as she continued to laugh."And Luther? How did you convince him to dance?" I asked, smiling."I don't know what happened. I think Thes talked to him. It seems like he was just forced; I don't know what Thes said to get Luther to agree to dance with me. I was surprised that Luther agreed. I never thought he would do this. You can tel
We heard loud applause inside the church after a quick kiss, Rozzean and I."Ahhh..." I turned to Rozzean when I heard his voice. He was holding my hand and kissing it."Mine... finally, you are mine."I smiled at what he said. I held him by his cheeks and gently pinched them."Really, you're the one who's mine," I replied."Hmm... I can't wait for our honeymoon."I widened my eyes and looked around, worried someone might have heard. I gently tapped Rozzean on the chest. Another honeymoon!"Honeymoon has happened several times already; your mind is still on honeymoon."He's still kissing my hand."That's different. My performance this time is not as your boyfriend but as your husband."He knows a lot! And what performance is he talking about? I was about to speak again, but the crowd came forward to congratulate us."Congratulations!"Thes came to us; I thought he had something serious to say, but I was surprised when five men approached us, and when I saw what they were holding, I co
