I approached my children and Rod. I couldn't tell if he was smiling or not because our boys were behind him, doing something to his body.

"What did you do to your dad?" I asked, giggling.

"Papa said he can carry us all," DJ replied.

I shook my head as I walked closer to them and took BJ from behind him.

"Just because you're babies of your dad doesn't mean you can bully him," I chuckled.

"Nah, it's fine baby," Rod said, trying to maintain composure even though he wasn't really okay.

I remembered my conversation with the attorney earlier; I felt guilty about what I did to him.

I sat beside him and hugged him after putting down Blake. I buried my face on his neck, knowing that my kids were watching us now.

"Hey, you okay?" Rod asked, looking surprised at my action.

"Sorry," was all I could say.

He stood me up to carry me to the couch.

"Is there a problem, baby?" he asked while caressing my hair.

I shook my head, my face still buried on his chest.

"If not, I assume you just want to cuddle

    "Grandpa, doesn't your back hurt?" Chairman chuckled at AJ's simple question."Oh, princess, grandpa is strong.""Really? Can you carry us five?" DJ asked."Kuya, grandpa's bones might break," BJ said worriedly.The chairman laughed again."What? Grandpa is still strong! Look!" The chairman stood up and lifted AJ, but immediately winced and slowly sat back on the couch, holding his lower back.We could almost hear his bones creaking. It seems BJ was right."Oh, see? Grandpa can't carry us because he's too old," CJ, with a smug face, said to DJ.The attorney stood up and approached them. “Stop it Martin. You’re old. You can’t carry them all.”The chairman laughed again. "No, I'm not. I just need more exercise. I think I'm still as strong as a buffalo."I looked at Miss Tanya, who was emotionless as she watched my children. I stood up to bring her the juice and bread prepared by the helpers.We're in Rod's house now, accompanied by the chairman and Miss Tanya. I invited the chairman to

    “What did you say?” Clarissa, and her tone is rising reason why some of the customers here are looking at them.“You? My mother?” she added.“That’s a big scoop,” Karen said, covering her mouth.“Lower your voice, Clarissa, if you don’t want this to turn into a scandal,” Miss Tanya advised, so Karen and I pretended to eat, avoiding being noticed.“Answer me. What do you mean I’m dad’s child?”Clarissa's voice was serious after that. You could feel her anger and frustration.“We had a relationship with your dad back then,” Miss Tanya said.“You were dad's mistress? He cheated on mom?”“And with that, we have you,”Clarissa laughed. It was a mocking laugh.“WOW! SO I SHOULD BE THANKFUL TO YOU FOR BEING A HOMEWRECKER?”After saying that, Clarissa fell silent. We couldn’t hear what Miss Tanya was saying anymore, so I looked their way. I saw Clarissa, angry and teary-eyed."YOU'RE A LIAR!" Clarissa screamed."Clarissa, please.. Listen to me.""No! Shut up!"Clarissa ran off, followed by Mi

    When we arrived home at Karen's place, we found Rod outside. Beside him were the kids imitating his posture. They grinned, and all eyes on me. Rod leaned on the gate, unaware that the five were mimicking his stance. I struggled not to laugh, especially when Rod crossed his legs, and the five copied him. Even CJ, who's usually serious, was into the mischief. "Where have you been?" Rod asked, furrowing his brow. "Where have you been?" echoed the five. It seemed that's when Rod noticed his kids watching him, ready to mimic whatever he did. He chuckled and turned his attention back to me. "Mama!" Rod "Mama," the quintuplets mimicked again. Oh, they're so cute. "Well, well! Looks like Mama's in trouble now, huh?" Karen said, just getting out of the car. "We went on a date," I replied to the questioning looks from my bosses, as if I'd been gone for five decades. "AUNT!" the five kids exclaimed, running towards Karen. Smiling, I walked towards Rod, letting the kids to greet their a

    A normal day with my family. Rod still bonds with our kids. It's been a week since we've all been together.We're making the most of our time together, especially since Rod will be leaving next month."Papa, DJ is cheating!" I furrowed my brow at CJ's voice. What are they up to?"What? I'm not, CJ. You lose, I won.""Kids! Take it easy. You won't run out of coins!""Papa, the coins are fake. There's a hole in the middle," AJ said, even though I couldn't see, I knew he was frowning."These coins are not fake, princess. This is a 5-cent coin." I chuckled when AJ argued again, saying it's fake because it has a hole."Stop it, BJ. Why are you peeking at my cards?""Papa, EJ is not being fair!""BJ, son, that's not fair!" Rod exclaimed."What? Why?" BJ asked."How is that being fair, BJ? You're cheating!" CJ chimed in."Oh. No fighting—DJ, stop climbing the table. Goodness!" Rod seemed really stressed."Papa! Can I join?" AJ's voice came."NO!" All five of them said."What? Why?""No cards

    "Mama, what's for snacks?" asked EJ as he approached me and gently kissed my cheek. He had already taken a bath and he smells good. He was wearing a black tank top, and I couldn't help but smile as I looked at his handsome face."Oh, dear, I hope you won't give headaches to those girls who will like you."He grinned."I want sticky rice with mangoes and hot chocolate, mama,""Where's your papa, and your siblings?""He's on his way here, Mama. He's with DJ," he replied, then sat down and took some food from the table.He must be hungry. Rod came in, carrying our four kids. He had AJ in his arms, BJ clinging to his back like a monkey, while CJ and DJ were holding onto his legs.We exchanged glances. Despite having just showered, his sweat was already dripping. "Help, babe," he said. I chuckled."You're really bullying your papa, kids.”I took BJ from his back, and the other two let go of his legs and ran towards the table."Mama, it smells so good," AJ said."Of course.

    The next day, I dropped the kids off at school. Rod left early because he was needed at the company. He had been on leave for a long time just to bond with us. I just said goodbye to my kids after dropping them off at school, then I went into Rod's car with the driver he assigned earlier. I asked to be taken to the market because I needed to do some shopping again. I bought a lot the other day, but I kept forgetting to buy some things. And our stock of food was running low. With seven of us, food disappears quickly. When I arrived at the market, as soon as I got out of the car, I saw Clark. He was leaning against his car after getting out. I let out a heavy sigh. He walked towards me. "You really feel like a wife, huh?" "What do you need?" The smile disappeared from his lips, and he took hold of my hand. "What did you do to my sister?" I furrowed my brow even more when I saw the anger in his eyes. "What are you talking about?" "Why is she avoiding us? Did you and Rod threat

    While Rod was busy with his tasks, I was helping him organize everything he needed to read so that his work would be easier.I've been seeing him furrowing his brows and sometimes shaking his head. I feel like he's taking longer because I sometimes catches him staring at me."Rod, stop staring,""You're kidding, babe. I'm not. Do you think I'm head over heels for you?""Oh, aren't you?"He fell silent, so I glanced at him and saw how flushed he was while he focused on what he was reading.See? Haha. I just shook my head and went back to what I was doing. Ten minutes later, Rod spoke again."Babe, will you pick up the kids after this?""Yep. I'll drop by the school to get them,""I want to come with, but it looks like I'll need to work overtime.""It's okay. Your kids will understand. Do you want us to bring your dinner later?"He looked at me, "is that okay?""Of course. Why wouldn't it be?"He smiled at me and scooted his chair closer to me. Why doesn't he just focus on his work?"I

    "Why did you slap me?" I asked, staring at Miss Tanya."Because you're ruining my child's life!" she said. Her forehead creased as if she realized something, "why weren't you surprised? You knew?"I knew that Clarissa was her daughter? I grinned."I know all your secrets that could ruin your child," I said, surprising her.Her eyes widened suddenly."The next time you lay a hand on me again, I'll retaliate. There's probably no greater pain than seeing your child pay the price," I warned."Try me!""I will definitely try. I'm not afraid of you, Tanya. Because I know you were behind the chairman's threat to me before. Just pray I don't lose my temper, or I might report you to the chairman," I said, turning away to leave.Her slap hurt, but I was seething with anger at everything she had done just to separate me from Rod.I went to the mall first to freshen up. I couldn't let the kids see the swelling on my cheek. They'd wonder, so I bought some foundation to cover it up.After touching

    "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.
