THE first rays of sunlight lit up my room, indicating that another day had dawned. I rubbed my blurry eyes and walked to the window. I pulled up the white curtain, revealing the pearly glow in the sky.

Today is a rest day for all the medical volunteers. The Areno's director— my mom, gave us a two days rest day after the one week we spent on the medical mission. Today is a great day to rest and enjoy the freedom from the battlefield of my work.

I took a deep breath before I headed to the bathroom to wash my face. I mentally listed everything I thought of doing today— yoga, cleaning the whole house, grocery shopping, binge-watching a movie, and maybe I can learn how to bake something!

I was hopping on the stairs wearing a pair of ombre sports bras and leggings. I tossed my hair into a bun. I was holding a yoga mat when I bumped into someone. It causes me to drop the yoga mat.

Napahawak ako sa aking dibdib dahil sa pagkagulat. "I thought you already left!" My eyes dropped at my phone to

    PINANLAKIHAN ko siya ng mata nang marinig ang sinabi niya. How come he is directly looking at my eyes when saying those words? Hindi ba siya naiilang? Where is he getting all of his confidence?I bit the inside of my cheeks."May balak ka pa ba magpadagdag ng tattoos?"He shrugged. "I wanted to, but I won't get a new one if you don't like it." he retorts.I sighed. "I'm fine with you getting another tattoo. Huwag lang marami saka malaki."Napatango naman siya sa sinabi ko. Kumuha siya ng popcorn na nasa lamesa saka niya ako sinubuan na alanganin pa akong tanggapin. He smiled a little when I accepted the popcorn.I swallowed. "Have you had a girlfriend before?" kitang-kita kong natigilan siya sa naging tanong ko.Based on his reaction, he had women before."So, is it before or after we got married—" I yelped when he grabbed my arm and spun me around until I straddled one of his legs. My blood flared in my cheeks as he tightened his grip on my waist.Our eyes locked, and my heartbeat i

  • The Millionaire's Runway Wife   CHAPTER 30: First misunderstanding

    REEVE and I were eating breakfast when we both heard the doorbell. We glance at each other before Reeve decides to stand up and check. I was casually sipping my coffee when I heard a bark from the living room, causing me to turn my head.I quickly stood up to check if I was thinking right. My mouth parted when Beau and Scout came running to me, wagging their tails."Omg! Hi, babies!" I greeted them using my baby voice. I caressed their head and looked around, trying to look for their Dad.I felt the awkwardness when I saw a good-looking guy standing a meter feet away from us. Kausap niya si Reeve at kitang-kita kong sabay silang bumaling sa direksyon ko. I wanted to divert my gaze from them, but my eyes were stucked in their direction. I just gave them a reluctant smile. I heard footsteps coming closer in my direction. I stood up with dignity and met their gaze. The guest of Reeve was wearing a simple workout outfit. Mukhang kagagaling niya lang sa gym at nang matapos ay dito siya d

    I lick my bottom lip and puff a breath. "Well, I don't know who spread that rumour, but it was Nurse Eva's rap. Siya ang nagsabi kung nasaan ako,"Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ni Nurse Eva at mabilis na nagtakip ng mukha. All of us looked at her. "Sorry naman, dra! Nagtanong kasi siya kung saan exactly iyong medical mission, wala naman akong balak sabihin pero. . . Ang gwapo kasi, 'eh.""Marupok ka, Evangeline!" Dra. Eunice gently hit Nurse Eva's arms, causing us to chuckle.I shake my head. "It's fine lang naman. But is he really that handsome?" I asked her."Opo, dra," she giggled. Napatingin siya kay Dale na tahimik lang sa gilid. "Uy, baka magselos ka, doc, 'ah? Don't worry, ikaw pa rin ang number 1 crush ko!" She proudly stated.Heat quickly drew on Doctor Dale's face. Dra. Eunice and Dra. Nikki teases them both. Tuwang tuwa ako habang nakatingin sa kanilang dalawa. Not gonna lie, they look suitable for each other."Hello po, doc! Hello po, Nurse Eva!" Some interns stopped at our

    MABILIS akong nakarating sa bahay at bumuntong hininga nang maabutan si Reeve sa living room, nakaupo siya habang may binabasang mga files na nakalagay sa folder. He's wearing an olive green sweat shorts and a plain fitted black white shirt.I took an exaggerated sigh. He raised his head, and our eyes met. Ibinaba niya ang hawak na folder sa coffee table."Wife," His voice was pitched low and rough."Let's talk after the dinner," bungad ko sa kaniya at nilagpasan siya. Pumasok ako sa kwarto namin at naglinis ng katawan.Nang kumain kami ay parehas kaming walang imik. Mas nauna rin akong pumasok sa kwarto at naupo sa sofa. I crossed my arms on my chest while waiting for him. Handa na akong tanongin siya sa nangyari noon."Kelsea, wife," Reeve says while holding a glass of milk.Pinigilan ko ang sarili kong mapangiti dahil dinalhan niya ako ng gatas. I just gestured to the couch in front of me. "Sit," utos ko.Naupo siya sa couch na nasa harapan ko, humalukipkip at bumuntong-hininga. H

    NAGING abala ako sa mga sumunod na araw sa trabaho. Hindi kami masyadong nakakapag-usap ni Reeve simula nang mapag-usapan namin ang nangyari noon. Para kaming bumalik sa pinakauna. A transparent barrier formed between us since I learned the reason behind our marriage.Areno's charity ball is only two days away, and I still haven't told him about Mommy's invitation. I don't know if I should inform him about it or if I'll just attend the charity ball alone.These past few days, I've realized a lot of things about our situation. Napatunayan niya ang sarili niya sa akin kahit sa maikling panahon lang. Kahit papaano naman ay nakilala ko na rin siya. My parents always tell me a great marriage is not when the perfect couple comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to love their differences.And now that I am married, I want to use the values of my parents in our own situation. Tears, pain and financial woes, I won't give up on our marriage because a good marriage allows f

  • The Millionaire's Runway Wife   CHAPTER 34: Areno's Charity Ball

    TONIGHT is the annual charity ball of the Areno Medical Center. Everyone who's working in the hospital was invited to attend the party. That includes the maintenance worker, support staff, Interns and other medical staff.Katatapos ko lang maligo at magbibihis na ako. I was wearing a robe while drying my hair. I told Reeve I would do my hair and make-up, and he agreed to it after I rejected his offer to hire a hairstylist and make-up artist for me.Dagdag gastos lang kasi iyon. I'd rather spend my money on much more important things. I started putting on some light make -up that could match my gown and my hairstyle. A video from YouTube was playing while I am putting on make-up. Nang masatisfied ako ay nagbihis na ako.I felt amazed when I looked at myself in front of my vanity mirror. My hair was in soft curls that matched my look. My make-up look was soft glam with peachy-nude lipstick. My gown is a rosegold sequin gown with a ruched cowl like neckline which reaches to my feet.Hu

    MABILIS na nakarating kami sa venue ng charity ball. Bumungad sa amin ang napakataas na five-star hotel na pagmamay-ari ng mga Silvestre. I was about to open the car door when he halted my hand, then he quickly got out of the car and opened the car door for me. He offered his hand again with a subtle smile on his lips.Napansin kong natigilan siya nang makita ang kamay ko. I looked at him, confused. "Is there something wrong?""I've realized you're not wearing our wedding ring," he uttered with a low-pitched voice.I glanced at his ring finger and was dazed when I saw the identical ring I wore eleven years ago. Napalunok ako. He looked at my dazed reaction, and I saw the emotion I couldn't read in his eyes."I-I kept the ring. . . I didn't throw it, I swear." I whispered."You just didn't like wearing it?" he whispered icily. Nakiliti ako nang bahagya dahil ibinulong niya iyon malapit sa tenga ko. Desired coursed my veins when he snaked his arms on my waist and softly squeezed it. "

    I EXCUSED myself and quickly stood up when I saw my parent's arrival. Reeve also stood up and followed me. Nasa tabi ko siya habang nakapulupot sa beywang ko ang matigas niyang braso."Hi, Mom." I gave her a peck on the cheeks. "Hi, Dad!" I hugged and kissed him on his cheeks."Hello, sweetie!" Mom eyed me before her eyes flew to the man standing beside me. Her mouth was agape before he hit Daddy's arms. "Babe, may boyfriend na ang panganay natin!" She said.My cheeks burned in an instant."Good evening, Mr and Mrs Altamirano. I'm Zuriel Reeve Roschefort. It's my pleasure to meet you both again." Nalaglag ang panga ko nang magpakilala at maglahad siya ng kamay sa mga magulang ko."Zuriel Reeve. . ." Dad looked at him piercingly. "It's been Eleven years, am I, right? Ano nang balak mo sa anak ko?" "Dad!" I appalled."Babe, huwag mo naman biglain ang mga bata," humahagikgik na sabi ni Mommy. "Pero kailan nga ba ang kasal?" bigla niyang hirit."Mom!" I exclaimed. I never felt pressured

    Unseen chapter: The Honeymoon We had fun in the night market and so did the bonfire party with the other guests. Nakainom din kami ng authentic Mexican foods at alcohol. Nauna na akong maligo sa asawa ko't nag-aayos pa 'yon ng mga pagkain na pinauwi sa amin ng mga mababait na staffs. I was patting my damp, long hair when I caught a glimpse of the thin, vulgar, red lingerie that Khrizanta had gifted me. She told me to wear it on our honeymoon. I don't know what got to me, and I brought it with me. The chills the lingerie gives me make my blood rush in my veins quicker. I shut my eyes, and the moment my eyes opened, I found myself bravely wearing the lingerie. Tinignan ko ang sarili sa salamin. From the boobs down to my thighs and bottoms, it fitted me so well. My confidence increased rapidly the longer I stared at myself. I took my make-up kit and looked for a bold colour of lipstick. I picked the one with a red shade and spread it on my lips. "This must make him drool, rig

    Unseen chapter: The HoneymoonI woke up the next day without my husband on the bed. Bumangon ako sa kama at napangiti nang maamoy ang mabangong amoy na nanggagaling sa niluluto niya.I stretched up my sore muscles before tidying up the bed. After that, I marched towards the bathroom and took my time doing my morning rituals.I grabbed my phone and walked towards the glass door of the balcony, pulling it open. Tumapak ako palabas at pinagmasdan ang tanawin. I took a sigh of amazement as the view in front of me took my breath away. The immaculate cerulean blue water of the sea is screaming tranquillity. Hindi masyadong malakas ang alon sa dagat. I can see people enjoying their day at the beach.I sat on the rattan couch while holding my phone. Nakahinga ako nang maluwag nang makitang may update na si Mommy tungkol kay Killian. Apat na messages 'yon at may kasama pang attachments.Mommy sent me pictures and a short clip of Killian's day without us. They went to church this morning and a

    Unseen chapter: The Honeymoon For my first outfit, I wore a ruffled sleeves white dress that reached above my calves. I turned my dark hair into a low bun with a few thin hairs dangling on both sides of my face. I applied light make-up as it suits me very much. Hindi na ako nagsuot ng mga alahas at tanging wedding ring namin ni Reeve at ang hikaw ko ang suot ko. Reeve was wearing a black button-down short sleeve and white trousers. The first four buttons of his shirt were opened, revealing his hard chest. Kumakapal na rin ang buhok ni Reeve. Simula noong mag retired siya bilang lieutenant-colonel, nagpapahaba na siya ng buhok. But hubby continued getting faded haircut as I told him I love seeing him with faded hairstyle. Reeve and I entered the highly recommended Mexican restaurant near our hotel called Riviera Maya restaurant. The restaurant itself has a modern Mexican interior and an overlooking ocean view. A server immediately introduced himself and guided us to our tabl

    Unseen chapter: The Honeymoon "Hubby, do you think it's really okay to leave Killian? What if he cried because we weren't there for him? What if something bad happened to him while we were away? What if the breast milk I prepared ain't enough?" I asked worriedly. "Do you want us to bring him? We can go back and get him," he asked back. We are now in the car, travelling to the airport. Hindi na namin sinama si Killian at baka magdalawang-isip pa ako na hindi tumuloy. I don't want to leave our son. I am too worried about him, but at the same time, I want to be with Reeve, just the two of us, on our honeymoon vacation. I sighed and shook my head. "I want to, but this is our vacation as husband and wife. I just can't stop thinking and worrying about our son. Ito ang unang beses na iiwan natin siya sa loob ng apat na araw," He reached for my elbow and tugged me so I could face him. "Wife, don't worry too much about Killian, okay? He's in the good hands. Your parents want to ha

    Unseen chapter: The Honeymoon "Hubby, do you think the 20 million we donated to the kids and families in Palestine is enough, or should we add at least 10 million more?" Reeve's strong arms immediately caught my waist. He pulled me and let me use his lap as my chair. My heart instantly leapt with his move. "Wife, 20 million is enough. We still have Ukraine and another country to send our donations, remember?" "Yes..." "So, we have to save..." I felt his hand squeeze my waist. "Baka mamulubi naman tayo niyan," My lips parted before I chuckled. "Hindi naman siguro, hubby." He bowed his head in silence before he burst into laughed. "You are not sure, wife." I felt his lips on my cheek. "Have you told Killian about our plans?" I sighed upon remembering that. Reeve and I will fly to Mexico this week for our honeymoon for our second wedding. Today is our real honeymoon because when we first got married and had our honeymoon, we were both drunk. Last month, our wedding

    Time flies so fast because Killian is growing so fast. Killian is now ten months old, and in two months, he will turn 1. He can now crawl and stand on his own. He also have two primary teeth in front of his gums. He likes to explore and be mobile the reason why we've put up safety barriers in his nursery room. Killian giggled as I tickled him gently on his chubby neck. His little chuckles are sound to my ears. I can't help but chuckle while watching him. May dalawang ngipin na siya sa harapan, making him more adorable. "You like it when Mama tickles you, huh?" I gently said and kissed him on his forehead. "Mama and Papa loves you so much, baby. Don't grow up so fast, please?" Killian made a random sounds as if he was talking back at me. Napangiti ako pinunasan ang namumuong laway sa gilid ng labi niya. Saktong lumabas si Reeve galing bathroom nang magsalita si Killian sa unang pagkakataon. It wasn't the first time, but it was the first he uttered clear words. Most of the time,

    ON our second day, we went to the French Aquarium in Le Bon Marche. Kirsten and Killian enjoyed their time there since they had some activity regarding sea creatures. We also went to some high-end brand shops to buy pasalubong. Then, we went to the Eiffel Tower. Tomorrow, we decided to visit the Disneyland Paris. I was staring at the magnificent view of the sunset when I suddenly craved steak. I wanted to eat steak, but not the usual steak that was cooked by a normal chef. I want it to be exceptional! I pulled the hem of Reeve's jacket. I looked at him in doe when he glanced at me in confusion, yet his aura looked radiant. Palibhasa, natuloy kami sa pagdidilig kagabi. And I swear it was so good that we had four rounds! "Hmm? What does my wife want?" he asked while grinning. "I want steak for dinner." He looked dazed. "Steak? I knew a steak restaurant in the corner," he says. I shook my head in disagreement. "No! Gusto 'ko luto ni Gordon Ramsay! I want him to cook the steak

    After over 16 hours of non-stop flight, the airplane safely landed at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. Reeve got our luggage on the carry-on while I readied the kids to disembark the plane. But before we leave, lumabas si Dad mula sa cockpit para batiin kami. I was mesmerized seeing him wearing a pilot uniform. May mga ibang crew ang napatingin sa paglapit ni Dad sa amin. Dad gave me a peck on my cheeks before he tapped Reeve's shoulder. "Lolo, you're here! You are amazing, Lolo! You navigate this big aircraft by yourself!" Killian jaunty says. "Thank you, buddy," sagot ni Dad at bahagyang ginulo ang buhok ni Killian. "Lolo is a pilot?" Kirsten innocently says. Dad nodded, chuckling. "I am, sweetheart. How's the flight?" he asked cooly. "The flight was fine, Dad. Thank you for landing us safe," sagot 'ko. "Of course, sweetheart. That's my job, to make you all safe in the air and to make sure the plane will safely land on the runaway," he answered. "You're so cool, Lolo!

    DAYS and weeks went in the blink of an eye. Last two months, we celebrated Killian and Kirsten's birthday. And now Reeve and I will celebrate our 7th anniversary as a husband and wife. We've been married for 17 years, but we are celebrating the anniversary of our second marriage. . . "So. . . You'll be back next month?" Mom asked in curiosity. I nodded with a subtle smile. "Yes, mom." "Ingat kayo doon, okay? Message me after the airplane lands at the airport," she said, making me nod. "Don't worry about us, Mom, we will be fine," I assured her. "I'll miss you and these two adorable children," she says and proceeds on hugging Killian and Kirsten. "I'll miss you both, sweetie pie," she says. "I will miss you too, Lola pretty!" Killian muttered. "Love you, Lola," Kirsten says, kissing mom on the cheeks. Nakangiti ako habang nakatingin sa kanila.
