"Attorney, what.. are you doing here?" I am so fvcking nervous at this moment.Good thing my children have left before she arrives."I thought you lived far away, but you're close to Rod's house," the attorney said with a smile."How did you know that I live here?""I've been looking for you. I went to Karen's house, I thought you lived near her, but a neighbor of hers told me where you live."My eyes widened. I looked to my apartment. She will be surprised when she comes in and sees that there are a lot of children's things inside."D-Do you need anything from me, attorney? You should have called me.""I misplaced my phone, sorry."Oh. Okay"Do you need something from me, attorney?"I saw her peeking into my house.“Is it okay if we talk inside the coffee shop? I haven't cleaned yet so yeah," I blurted out.Good thing she agreed immediately.-----------------"H-How's R-Rod?" I asked after we finished ordering coffee."Rod is fine. But there is a problem," I started to get nervous w
10TH DAY when I received Atty. Manilou’s text again."Did the attorney send a picture again, March?" I nodded."She's manipulating you." EyaKaren and I but to sighed.She sent me a picture of Rod in a wheelchair. No matter what Karen said, I still couldn't help but stare at Rod's face that was struggling."Why haven't you moved on from him, March? That's why you're struggling now because you still love him." Eya."It's hard to forget the person who tried to fight for you, Eya. I understand March.” KarenI looked at them.And then turned to my children.I have thought about it many times. I bit my lip hard."U-Until Rod gets better, can you look after my children?"Karen and Eya looked at each other.Rod is having a hard time now. His mom kept on sending me videos about him and my heart is aching every time I see him in pain. I want to take care of him. Even as an employee.He is no longer my world but I can't deny, that I am hurting now because of what happened to him."Are you sure?
(BACK TO PAST) "Are you ready, March?" Atty. Manilou asked me after the make-up artist done making me a beauty. I'm wearing a backlist black cocktail dress today. Rod has been calling me for a while but I'm not answering his calls. Several of his messages are coming into the SMS which I immediately delete because I don't want to read them. "Yes, attorney. I'm ready," I said. I tried to smile even though I didn't want to smile. "Ah wait, I'll just answer Rod." Attorney said. I was stunned and nervous. "Rod? -yes.. March? Yes. She's with me.” I'm already convinced that I might be the one he's looking for and I'm not wrong because I heard my name from his mom. "March, Rod wants to talk to you," the attorney said while handing me her phone. My hand was shaking as I took her phone. I went a little further to talk to Rod. “H-Hello?” "Why don't you answer my call?" even though I don't see him, I know his forehead is wrinkled now. "Ah.. Sorry. I'm doing something," I said. "What
His kisses went down to my breast as he pushed me to his room. I know at this moment that I am ready to give him everything in me. He laid me down in bed and started kissing my body. He whispered sweet words to my ears and I was deeply drowned by it. He removed his clothes and went back to my lips and kissed me hungrily like he didn't taste it before. I felt his touch in my thighs upwards to my mound. I arched my back when I felt his thumb, rubbing my flesh while sucking my breast. I am catching my breath when Rod entered his finger in my hole while playing my nipples. I grabbed his hair and pulled him closer to my breast. I am biting my lower lip to suppress my moan but Rod is thrusting me hard and fast, which made me close my eyes and started to shout his name. I am moaning. "Are you ready?" he whispered. I nodded. "Yes, you are." He said after he dipped his finger in my flesh and felt my juices coated with his thumb. I am dripping wet. I felt him in my entrance and I cried w
I took a deep breath before leaving the comfort room, but when I got to the lift, I saw the chairman, waiting in front of it. My eyes widened. Why is he here? "Chairman, good morning," I said. "Hija," “Yes, C-Chairman?” I uttered nervously. I looked at Miss Tanya who was next to him. Did Miss Tanya tell him? "Can I talk to you?" he asked. Maybe not. But why is the chairman's reaction like this? Did he and Rod had a fight again? "Yes, chairman," I answered. He walked away first so I followed him. My phone rang, I knew Rod was calling but I didn't answer him. I also know that Miss Tanya turned towards me. Chairman and I got inside the car. "Do you know who Rod's girlfriend is?" My eyes widened and Miss Tanya was also looking at me through the mirror. "N-No chairman," I lied. The old man nodded. "I tried to find the girl Rod was talking about but I couldn't find who it was." I was just silent while he’s miserably talking about the woman his son is hiding. "Can I ask you
"Why are you so quiet today?" Rod asked as we entered the resto."What? Of course I’m n-not….," right. He saw it through.He took my hand but his looks did not change. He looks serious as if he is no longer happy with my behavior.I've been quiet for weeks because I've been thinking about what Miss Tanya said to me."Is there something bothering you?" he asked again."Don’t worry, I’m fine Rod,”"Are you perhaps bothered to what Clarissa has said?” I shook my head and looked ahead.I can't say yes, that it's really bothering me. Even though it hasn't gone away from my mind.I am guilty of the accusation that I am indeed a slut—a mistress."Why should I worry about that?" I lied so much."Well yeah, you shouldn't be." He said."It's my first time here," I changed the topic when we entered the resto.Then from where we are, we heard laughter from the group of men in the corner.“Congratulations, Engr. Caseres,” That’s what I heard from them.I looked at Rod. “Why did you invite me here
(Back to present) "Why are you here?" The dislike in his voice was melodious as if he really hated me. His face was devoid of any emotion. "I'm here to take care of you," I said calmly. But he grinned. It’s full of sarcasm. "Are you kidding me?" I didn't answer him. I approached him while holding the plate but he purposely stomp my hand causing the food to spill and the plate to break along with the glass. "Go away because I don't need you," he said. I didn't listen. I picked up the broken plate. "ARE YOU DEAF? GO AWAY!" He was so angry. I remained seated and picked up the broken glass. Every time he screamed, I was hurt. But I’ll stay cause I still like him. Even if he does this to me. "HEY! ARE YOU IGNORING ME?" "Hate me, but I'm here to take care of you." I said He looked at me. I didn't move. How can Rod glare at me like that? But I don’t care about that now. His recovery is more important to me. "I want to crush you," he said. I know, I can see it in his eyes. "Cru
"Where is he?" Atty, Manilou asked me after I opened the gate for her. It's only six o'clock in the morning and she's here. "In his room," I answered. "How was yesterday?" I looked down. I don’t how to tell her what happened between us. "You don't have to answer," she said when she got the answer from my reaction. "Please have patience with Rod, hija. He’s always irritable after the accident.” "I understand," I will understand, attorney. "Come on, come with me to his room," I nodded and joined her in Rod's room. We caught him without any shirt. "Mom," We looked at each other, but I was the first to take my eyes away because his deadly gaze was there again as if I had done something wrong to him. "Rod, your servants and your private nurse have resigned," Atty. manilou said. "For the 10th time, son," "I don't care," he answered coldly. The attorney sighed. "It doesn't matter, March is here. She will take care of you so please be kind to her." "Tss.. Where did you get her,
"Is this it?" Rod said while holding my hand. Ironically, I was the one holding his hand because I felt he might get lost here in the cemetery. "No, it's this way," I said as I pulled him in the right direction. Rod and I were heading to my mom's grave. And because there were many twists and turns along the way, we were having a hard time navigating, especially since he's a big guy. "Excuse me," I kept saying that at every tomb we passed by. "Why are you saying that, babe?" Rod asked. "To prevent your 'eggs' from swelling," I said, laughing. What's wrong with Rod, he's oblivious to any superstition. Actually, since earlier. When we were entering, he was talking so much that I asked him to be quiet since we're in a cemetery. I guess he was wondering why I wanted him to be quiet, so he bombarded me with a lot of questions. As we passed by a large cross, I caught sight of a woman's face that was very familiar to me. Miss Tanya? I looked again, but because of the large blades of
I squint as the drops of water hit my body. After rinsing off, I peeked into the room and saw Rod putting on his watch. He had showered before me, so he's all dressed up now.I stepped out in my bathrobe and caught Rod eyeing me up and down. He quickly averted his gaze when he noticed me looking at him."What are you doing, babe?" he frowned. I chuckled, slapped his arm, and went straight to the vanity area."What are you talking about?""You're seducing me! Can't you see I just got dressed!""Heh! Stop it, Rod! Aren't you tired? It stings!" I said to him. The kids weren't home; they were with the chairman since it's weekend.So, Rod freely does things he can't do when the quintuplets are around.I saw him walking towards me. He held me by the shoulders, and I closed my eyes as I felt his lips on my neck.He's going to the US in the next 2 days. I'm gonna miss him."You're dressed now," I told him. He just groaned and continued kissing me.I closed my eyes and held his head as his lip
When Rod and EJ arrived home, we immediately greeted them outside the house. Eya was still here with us."Hi, baby," Rod said and kissed my cheek. He put his hand on my waist and kissed me again on the neck.I chuckled and pinched his nose. He's so clingy even though his children are watching us. But our children seemed happy about it."Hi, Aunt Eya!" EJ approached Eya to kiss her cheek after he came to me to kiss my cheek and lips."Did you have fun, EJ?" I asked. He nodded and smiled. "Yes and I learned a lot, mom. And I'm excited to learn more," he said.Earlier, he asked if he could accompany his dad because he wanted to see how Rod works. I didn't agree because he had school, but his siblings convinced me, so I relented."Papa! How was it?" CJ asked his dad. I furrowed my brow."Big brother is good!" Rod answered and even gave a thumbs up. The smiles on the kids' faces widened as they looked at EJ."Wow! I'm so proud of you, big brother EJ!" AJ said and even clapped her little ha
"Have you heard about Rod's wife, March?" Eya asked. We were at the coffee shop near the school, and I was with Eya. We were waiting for the four kids.EJ didn't go to school today but went to his dad's office."I don't know where attorney hid her. But one thing's for sure, she's with her child," I said while munching on fries. Eya nodded."What about Tanya? I was shocked by the revelation. So she's the reason why you and Rod got separated? Unbelievable!"Even I, was extremely surprised by what happened."I heard the chairman wants to have her jailed. But you didn’t agree? You feel sorry for her?"I shook my head. I just really don't want us to be stuck in the past anymore. I want to move forward and let Miss Tanya do whatever she wants.But I won't ever approach her again."But you know what, because of what happened with the Malaques, the topic about your Quintuplets with Rod wasn't discussed much. The made-up scandals about Rod's involvement weren't given much attention because eve
"I still can't believe it!" Rod said. We're together now and the quintuplets are already home, Arian brought them earlier."Do you know about this?" he asked. I shook my head. "I just know now. Ralph told me."He fell silent."So that's why. That's why Clark was so hot-headed towards me. And Tanya, her mother?" I felt sorry for Clarissa, but I couldn't help but laugh at Rod. He looks really cute while saying that.He was so mind-blown by the revelations at the party earlier. He could hardly speak. He was stunned when Tanya said Clarissa was her daughter, and he was even more shocked to find out that Clark was Clarissa's lover."If your mom wasn't there earlier, things might have gotten out of hand." I leaned on him.Earlier, when Clark was trying to get Clarissa to go with him, the attorney arrived and intervened. The attorney brought a bunch of bodyguards and personally escorted Clarissa out of the venue. All you could hear was Clarissa crying.Meanwhile, the Malaque family was force
"Clark?" I asked in surprise.I looked ahead, and Clarissa had a light smile on her face as she stood beside Rod, guiding my children."Are you joking?" I asked, waiting for him to say, 'just kidding.'"No," Ralph replied. I looked at him, and he took Punn from me when he saw that Punn wanted to go to him."Why are you telling me this?""Because I want to ask for your help. Protect her. She's going to tell her parents about Punn.""What? Shouldn't she delay that?" If her father finds out about her child, he might hurt her."No. She wants to be with Punn now. She's already decided that even I can't stop her."I bit my lower lip and looked at Rod in front.The quintuplets were already introduced. As usual, many were surprised and angered by the introduction of my children.They couldn't criticize Rod because they could see Clarissa, his wife, supporting him, along with the chairman and attorney Manilou.The venue was filled with applause while my playful children were, smiling and wavin
After a week, the party that the chairman mentioned finally pushed through. I'm with the attorney right now, and we're getting ready with the makeup artists they hired."Mama, look at me. I'm a princess," we all chuckled upon hearing AJ words. Actually, Clarissa is also here with us.Attorney and Clarissa are still not okay with each other, but they're civil.Attorney knows about Rod and Clarissa's conversation about divorce, and other than that, we haven't told anyone else. So at some point, I know attorney understands Clarissa.During the past week, Clarissa visited the house with Punn, and my kids played with her child."I'm nervous, March. What if dad hurts Punn?" she whispered."Punn's with his dad, right? So don't worry," I said, but her expression didn't change."Is everyone from Malaque invited here?" she asked. I nodded because all the elites were invited by Rod and the chairman."Maybe Clark will come," she said. Her brother? Aren't they not on good terms?"March, I'll take
It's been three days since I found out about Clarissa's child in the hospital.Inside the restaurant, we're waiting for Clarissa to arrive."Do you think she'll agree?" Rod asked."She's here," I whispered as I spotted Clarissa approaching us."Hey," she greeted, giving Rod and me a kiss in the cheek. Unlike before when she was so radiant, now she's not. She looks pale."Are you okay?" I asked with concern.She nodded. "I'm fine. I'm sorry for being late," she said.I looked at Rod, and like me, he's also worried about Clarissa."We can reschedule this if you want. You look so pale," Rod suggested."It's fine, Rod. Let's proceed. Is this about the divorce?" Clarissa asked."I'll agree to the divorce. Don't worry," she added.Rod sighed and sat back in his chair."Yes, but I don't want to give you any part of the Chavez estate," Rod said bluntly.Clarissa nodded, not even surprised. It's as if she expected it. She didn't get angry either."I understand. I'm not after your wealth, Rod,"
"After the wedding, Rod and I didn't live in the same roof. Rod left and went back to the Philippines while I stayed in the US for 2 years."I remained quiet as I listened to her."I didn't go back because I was so angry that I got married to him.""I thought you used to like Rod?" I asked. I still remembered how clingy she was to Rod back then."Why would I like him? He has a bad attitude, he's arrogant, and conceited," she said, furrowing her brow.I chuckled.That's Rod. That's how Rod was when I first met him."And he's disgusting. He’s kissing different girls at the bar, so why would I like him? But that's what dad said so who am I to say no?"I met her dad. Her dad is the type of person you wouldn't dare disobey. Even I felt scared when he visited earlier. I wouldn't dream of him becoming my dad."But while I was in America, I got pregnant," Clarissa said, looking at her child who was now peacefully sleeping in bed.I looked at her child, whom she named Punn. That's why this chi
