I couldn't help but sob. It really hurt to see Rozzean and Klari together, but that was the sign to proceed with my plan of forgetting him. He looked at me several times earlier, even though that woman was beside him, but I wouldn't read too much into it."Even if you said you miss me so much! Hmph! I won't believe it!"I stood up and went to the bathroom, feeling the urge to vomit.I really had too much to drink because of what happened tonight. Klari was also testing my patience. Earlier, she brought up the topic of Rozzean's maid—that was me. I saw Uncle Royce's expression change. He probably knew that his daughter was in love with her helper—that was me, again."Hmmm..."I rinsed my mouth at the sink after throwing up. When I looked at myself in the mirror, my eyes widened. My vision was spinning due to drunkenness. I couldn't see the surroundings very well.Damn. I was so drunk. It's been a while since I got this intoxicated.I exited the bathroom, staggering as I walked. As I wa
I couldn't move. I wanted to speak, but nothing came out when I tried to. I felt my face flush as I heard Luther's words. He heard us, he... fckng heard us! Did I moan so loudly? What did I say?Damn! It's embarrassing!"Thaliana--""I-I am sorry! I-I didn't--"He held my arms. I was surprised when he burst into laughter. He stepped back for a moment and then looked at me. He paused but burst into laughter again. I gasped and felt a profound sense of embarrassment."L-Luther...""Your reaction! I was just kidding, Thaliana!"W-What...When I realized what he said, I slapped him a few times."A-Aw! That hurts! stop it! it hurts!"I was annoyed! I thought he really heard us! In my memory, I vividly recalled my intense moans because of what I did with Rozzean. Of course! We are at their house! In their fckng house, and their parents are here!Even though their room is on the second floor, I thought, what if they heard us?"Did something happen? Just by your reaction. I won't tell anyone,
"Thank you so much, guys, for today. I'm satisfied with how everything turned out!" I said to my team."Thaliana, take a rest. It looks like everything is okay now, and you're done."Luther approached me and said that. I was already checked in, and the other guests were in their respective hotel rooms."I am okay, Luther. I'll check if there's anything I missed that needs fixing," I replied.When I felt a tap on my shoulder from Riza, one of my employees, I turned to her."Ma'am, the handsome one, is he your fiancé?" she asked.I didn't say anything and just smiled. Luther looked around the venue, seemingly checking for anything that might need attention. The decorations around the pool area were already in order."Luther!"We both turned at the sound of that voice. I saw a man and a woman approaching. My eyes were fixed on the woman because of her beauty!"Hey, Hector..."The guy called out to Luther as they approached us."The cakes are here, also the cupcakes. Where should we put t
I couldn't answer Rozzean's question when suddenly my cellphone, which I was holding, rang. I saw Thes's name on the screen."H-Hello?""I'm here on the third floor, Tangi. I am near. Oh, I'm sure Rozzean is here later. When I see that guy, only his eyes will be scratch-free!"I quickly glanced at Rozzean in front of me upon hearing Thes's words."H-Hold on, Thes!" I said and ended the call. I grabbed Rozzean's hand and quickly closed the door to my room."Thaliana—"I hushed him and covered Rozzean's mouth when he tried to speak."Keep quiet!" I whispered softly. I looked for a place to hide him before Thes arrived.But I couldn't find anything! The closet was too small, and he wouldn't fit there!When I heard a knock on the door and heard my friend's voice, I gasped. Where could I hide Rozzean now?!"Tangi! I'm here!" Thes said outside the door. I could hear her clearly. Rozzean and I looked at each other, and I covered his mouth."Where should I hide you?!" I whispered.I looked at
My lips parted.The tears that I've been holding back since earlier fell. I wiped them away and pushed Rozzean away forcefully. I even glared at him."I hate you.""I will forget you. Everything about you. Thes is right, I can find another man who will see my worth. Not like you who's more—hmmp!"He crossed the distance between us and forcefully kissed my lips. I tried to push him away, but he held me tightly, one hand gripping my waist and the other at the back of my neck.His eyes were angry as he looked at me. When his lips finally moved away, he spoke."You can't forget me. You love me. You love me so much, and you won't forget me," he said firmly.His breath was on my face. Our faces were so close."No! I can! I can forget you!" I shouted at him. I glared at him. I was right; he was doing all of this because of my Dad."You are mine, only mine. You won't belong to another man.""I'm not yours! I-I won't be yours anymore! I h-hate you! I hate you s-so much!" I was crying while say
"Dad..."I remembered what happened earlier."No... you're not causing Rozzean any trouble in his company, right?"I heard my dad sigh. His lips moved, and then he scratched his neck."Did he talk to you?"I didn't say anything. Again, I heard his sigh."I know that you still love him, my child. I can see the love for Rozzean in your eyes, and I can also see the pain, and that's something I can't bear. You're my only daughter, Tangi.""Did he tell you that I talked to him, asking him not to approach you or talk to you until you turn away from your engagement with Luther? I am really sorry, my child."That surprised me.The time suddenly stopped when I heard what my father said."W-What?""D-Daddy, w-what did you say?"My dad couldn't speak anymore because the emcee signaled that Uncle Royce and Aunt Cynthia were there. Luther called me, and even though I wanted to talk to my dad more after hearing what he said, I couldn't do it anymore.Luther was smiling and clapping as his parents e
When I released her hand, I looked at her seriously. I will never let her hurt me."Don't try to put a hand on me, Klari. I am a Dela Vezca; no one hurts me and gets away with it."She laughed, "And you think I'm afraid of you? I am a Barios. If the Dela Vezca family is rich, our family is even richer—"I immediately took out a check from my bag, making her stop talking."I will buy your house in Tagaytay, the one in Rozzean's village. Name your price.""I will buy it."I wanted to laugh when I saw her reaction.She glared at me in frustration."Don't try me, Klari. I am distancing myself. You heard and saw how I distanced from Rozzean at the hotel earlier, but who's the one approaching me? Who's the one chasing after me?"I took a step forward again. She stepped back, but her feet collided, causing her to fall to the floor."Oh my gosh!"Served her fckng right."I know where I stand in his life now, and you..." I said, lowering my gaze to her and smiling."You don't have a place in h
Rozzean Cyron Valleje (His side)I gazed at Tali beside me, unable to wipe the smile off my face as I looked at her. She was sleeping, her hand resting on my waist, holding onto me. My hand moved, gently gliding across her cheek to her rosy lips."I love you, Tali..." I whispered and leaned down to kiss her. Her eyebrows moved, and I thought she might open her eyes, but instead, she turned away from me. My forehead creased in confusion. I held her shoulders and slowly turned her back to face me."Hmm... Rozzean..."I lowered my face again and kissed her cheek."I'm sorry, continue your sleep. I will not interrupt you."I had proposed earlier, and she had nodded. I glanced at her hand to see where the ring was.It was a wonderful feeling. I never thought I could experience this kind of happiness in my life.Before making this decision, I sorted out everything that might be affected by this choice in my life. I talked to my parents and told them about my desire to marry Tali—my maid. I
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
