I stayed inside the room until Rozzean finished his meal. He told me to wait so I wouldn't have to go here again to get his dishes. Well that’s him being considerate. I mean, his room was on third floor. As I observed him eating, every little movement he made seemed perfect in my eyes. So... this is what it feels like when you like someone? He is the first man I've laid my eyes on, so I didn't really know. When Rozzean finished his meal, I went downstairs and cleaned the kitchen, but my thoughts were still occupied by him. "I will confess. I will tell Rozzean that I like him. After that, I will return home to talk to Daddy. I won't complete the two months that I promised." The next day, I woke up early, prepared breakfast, and cleaned the garden. I didn't have the pool cleaned by Manang because I did it myself. I wiped the tiles, arranged some furniture in the living room, and provided breakfast to the guards outside. "How hardworking you are, Tali. Is there something happening?"
Rozzean Cyron Valleje's POV"Good morning, sir!""Good morning, Mr. Valleje!"It was not a good morning because I am not feeling well today, but I had to smile back at the workers who greeted me."Good morning, Mr. Valleje."I nodded to my secretary. She's walking with me while reminding me of my schedules for today.I arrived early at my company for the work that needed to be finished. I looked at my watch to check the time.7:45 am."What's my first meeting for today, Miss Salas?" I asked my secretary.It's early, but my head is already aching. This is probably the effect of working overnight."You have a meeting with the production team about the new RCV product at exactly 9:00 am, Mr. Valleje."RCV is my own company. I can say that I've worked hard to establish this company. I've had setbacks that nearly shattered my self-confidence before I reached my current position."As far as I can remember, I already talked to the production team last week. I approved everything. All the mat
Rozzean Cyron's POV Part IIWhen I was young, I had a nanny. Her name was Nanay Sol. She raised me and gave me the love I didn't feel from my real parents. She took care of me as if I were her own child. I was so happy when she was my nanny, but my dad kicked Nanay Sol out of our house for a simple reason.She was accused of breaking a vase that my dad had bought at an auction. I still remember how I cried when I saw Nanay Sol leave our house. She was the only person who truly cared for me.Later on, my dad found out that it was Luther who had broken the vase. I was so angry that I punched Luther. We fought, and what I'll never forget is how my dad pushed me to see the injured face of his adopted child."Why am I reminiscing about the past now?"I returned to my work. I finished reading and signing the papers piled up on my desk.Time passed quickly at my company, and my condition worsened. After all the meetings, I returned to my office and lay down on the long sofa.I felt the need
Rozzean's POV continuationI went to my bedroom and lay down. I felt a different kind of pain in my body. I cleared my throat many times, and my head was hurting so much. I closed my eyes to sleep, hoping that when I wake up, the pain would be gone.But I was wrong. After a few hours, my condition worsened. I was shivering. I couldn't even move my body to get up and take a glass of water."D-Damn it. I-I have work tomorrow."I reached for my cellphone and tried to call Manang Selya to come and bring me some water, but I dialed the wrong number because of my blurry vision. It's Tali's number. My new maid."Hello?"It took me a while to answer because my throat was sore."W-Water...""S-Sir Rozzean?""I n-need water, bring water to my room.""Okay, sir! Just a moment!"It didn't take long before I heard the door of my bedroom open. I could hear the sound of my air conditioner. It seemed like she adjusted my air conditioner."S-Sir?" she asked."Water.""Sir, you're sick. You need to eat
How did my womanizer friend with high standards for women notice my maid?Furthermore, while we were eating, he didn't take his eyes off Tali, whom I found irritating. Has his taste in women changed?"Rozz, can I borrow your maid for three days? Looks like I want—"What the fck? That shocked my being but I didn't show it. I acted the same."No.""Even for a day, bud? I'll just cook at home—""I said no, Maki. Why are you so persistent today?" I asked, irritated. He really pushed my patience. Did he notice something?"I need Tali here in my house."Maki smiled at me."So her name is Tali," I gave him a sharp look, "Tali, if Rozzean fires you, tell me immediately, okay? I'm willing to take in a maid even if I'm not looking. I wanted a cute maid who can cook delicious food. A maid like you—""Maki," I warned.I don't care if we're friends. I know him; he's a womanizer, he plays with women. He better not try to take what's mine because I'm not afraid to lose a friend."Ohh... Rozz, isn't
Thaliana Tangi Dela VezcaI can't believe what's happening. I really can't believe it. I was on Rozzean's lap. He was looking at me, his hands were on my back. We were looking at each other, and no one was speaking.Is he saying that he likes me? That h-he fell for his maid?"Did your voice escape you, Tali? Why aren't you speaking? And why are you looking at me like you can't believe it?"His breath hit my face. It felt like I suddenly got dizzy, early in the morning, but this is how our scene started. Earlier, I was on top of him, and we kissed, and now he's not letting me go, holding me tightly with his hands."Slap me, sir." I said in a low voice.He raised his eyebrows at what I said.It's just that. I can't process what's happening. Rozzean kissed me, indirectly saying he likes me. Now, th way he holds me, it's like he doesn't want me far from him."What? What are you thinking?"When I raised my hand to slap my own cheek, he caught it."Do you think you're dreaming?" he asked.I
"Tali, you've been standing there for a while now, huh?"I closed my eyes tightly before turning to Manang. I shut the door and approached her. While we walked to the kitchen, I bit my lower lip in frustration.Respect your feelings? Damn you, Rozzean. Not even a day after you confessed that you like me, and now you're going with that orange girl? What? Because I didn't admit that I like you too? Is your ego so fragile that you can't accept that I didn’t give you the answer that you want?Damn it, I just wanted him to wait, to give me some time. I'm also caught in this situation because I like him too.But I don't want to confess as Tali. I want him to know my feelings as Thaliana. Honestly, this is painful for me. Rozzean likes the fake image I created.But it’s here and I need to face the consequences."It seems like sir and Klari are getting along well. At least, Klari's waiting is worth it.”I glanced at Manang when she said that.I approached the fridge and took a bottled water.
I couldn't move because of surprise. He's Rozzean's brother, and he recognizes me. As in me as Thaliana Tangi Dela Vezca. A daughter of a Billionaire! not just a maid!How did this person knows me?But no, I should keep my identity a secret. Not now, especially when I found out that Rozzean has feelings for me. He would hate me if his brother tells him the truth. Our meeting might not happen if I return. I won't have a chance to explain my reasons.That's what I want to avoid.I just need time... that's all."Sir, what are you saying?" I asked with a smile.So that's why he said that to me earlier. He knows that I am not just a simple person."Oh? Why are you denying it? We're the only ones here. That's why I sent coffee to the gazebo to talk to you."Oh no. It means he noticed me in the kitchen earlier. He recognized me. But how? I wasn't in the spotlight when my father and brothers celebrated their success in their businesses.He stood up and approached me. He was smiling, but it f
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
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
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
