Clingy Birthday Boy "We're just going to check the house. Why do you need to be this beautiful? Hmm?" A strong arm wrapped my waist, hugging me from behind. "Reeve!" I startled. He planted a gentle kiss on my exposed shoulder. I looked at his reflection in the mirror. "I'm always dressed up beautifully. What were you saying?" I acted clueless. His lips rose, and a grin curved in it. "You're always beautiful, wife. Your beauty is Alluring," he says. Heat cascaded on my cheeks. "Aren't you going to dress up? Can I pick your outfit for today, please?" He looked stunned. Ngumiti ako sa kaniya kaya bahagyang umawang ang labi niya. He thought I was joking? I wasn't! "So. . . Pwede ba?" I asked, asking for his permission. He licked his bottom lips and nodded abruptly. "O-Of course!" his voice perked up. I grin, and I quickly stood up. He moves to the side to give me a way to his closet. When I was in front of the wardrobe, I immediately scanned all of his clothes. All
Birthday party WHEN we arrived at the townhouse, mas ginandahan ko pa ang acting skills ko. We tour the house like it was nothing. Until I excuse myself that I am going to pee. Nang nakapasok na ako sa banyo ay mabilis kong nitext si Luhen. I texted him that we were going to the poolside, so they need to get ready at any minute. I took a deep breath and composed my relaxed face before I made my way out of the bathroom. "Reeve, Let's go. Check natin 'yong pool side," I muttered casually. He nodded. "Alright, wife." We sauntered downstairs and went to the kitchen, where there's a sliding door for the pool. The moment Reeve slid the sliding door, nagsilaban ang mga kaibigan niya at mga kaibigan ko. "Happy birthday, Reeve!" I tilted my head to his side, watching his reaction. Halata sa mukha niya na hindi niya inaasahan na makita ang mga kakilala niya. A wide smile peal on my face when his gaze went at me. "Y-You plan this?" he asked in bewilderment. I nodded, smiling s
Happy Hormones "THERE aren't any more things to hope for. What else is needed when you have already come to me," he says. I could see sparkling hearts in his eyes as he stared at me. I smiled lovingly before I leaned to give him a light kiss on the lips. But he immediately encircled his strong arm on my waist and his other arm on the back of my neck. Someone blows one long whistle. I pushed him and looked around to spot my fellow doctors, including his friends teasing us. Napasinghap ako at mabilis na itinago ang mukha sa dibdib ni Reeve. Narinig ko ang mga halakhak nila, including his. "Oh my god! Reeve! Are you going to take a swim?!" I yelled when he started undressing himself, including his shoes. "Yes! Come here, wife. Let's swim!" he says. "But I don't have an extra clothes!" His lips turned upward as his eyes gleamed in mischief. "Let's swim naked, then." My mouth fell open with his remarks. The adrenaline rushed through my veins as I started undressing my dress. I
My mother-in-law I was in a good mood all day. I'm confident that my four happy hormones are fully activated right now. Because aside from cuddling with my husband, we also had a mindblowing make love before I went to work. "Dra? May bago pong pasyente sa trauma 4 at kayo ang nirerequest ng pasyente na umasikaso sa kaniya," Nurse Pia approached with a tense expression. "I got it! Thanks, Nurse Pia!" I say, smiling at her. "Welcome, dra!" Napangiti rin siya. I walked to the fourth bed and approached my patient with a wide smile. "Hi, Mrs Roschefort—" My eyes grew wider when I read the patient's name on the chart. Napakurap-kurap ako at mabilis na kinabahan nang tumaas ang isang kilay niya. She somehow resembles Reeve! They have the same lips. Don't tell me. . . She's my husband's mother?! "So, Ikaw pala ang girlfriend ng anak ko? Girlfriend ka ni Reeve?" My mouth fell open and I felt my nervous blood rushed through my veins. I gulped. "Y-Yes, I-I am." I am your son
His Family BUMUSINA ng tatlong beses si Reeve bago bumukas ang kulay berdeng gate at nag-drive ito papasok. Bumungad sa amin ang isang maliit na fountain sa gitna. Napapaligiran ng mga puno at iba pang halaman ang mansion nila. "Let me carry this," he muttered, carrying the indoor plant I bought for his mom. "Sure. I'll carry this," I raised the paper bag that contained the wine and wine sleeves I bought for his dad. He intertwined our free hands before we marched towards the main door. The door was opened by a maid. Ngumiti ako at binati siya pabalik nang batiin niya ako. "Oh my! Hon, nandito na sina Reeve!" Tita Laide approached us and gave me a peck on my cheeks. "How are you doing, hija?" "I'm doing well, Tita. Anyway, I brought you a gift," I answered politely, and Reeve immediately showed the plant I bought for her. "Oh my! Hindi mo naman kailangan mag-abala pa! Merci, hija." Tinanggap niya ang Areca palm. I smiled subtly. "It's my pleasure, Tita." Isang lalak
Caught In The Act TW: This chapter contains disturbing words about rape, assault, and drugs. Please engage in self-care as you read this chapter. SOBRANG bilis lumipas ng mga araw. Anim na araw na lang ay pasko na. Reeve and I decided to buy some Christmas decor for the house since it will be our first time spending it together and we want it to be special. I'm excited because this will be my first time spending Christmas with someone I love. . . Aside from my family, of course. "What else do we need to buy, wife? Hmm?" malambing na tanong niya habang tulak-tulak ang push cart. "Let's buy noche buena packages, hubby. I wanted to give away some packages on the family we will see on the road." He immediately nodded. "Alright. Maybe fifty will do?" "Make it a hundred, hubby. I'll pay for it." I uttered. He smiled. "A hundred, then. But I'm going to pay for it," he offered. I slightly frown. "I'm going to pay for it, Reeve. Ako naman ang nakaisip," reklamo ko. "I want to pay
First Major Fight MY heart clenched in pain. Sobrang bigat at naninikip ang dibdib ko na parang sasabog na 'to. I never thought he would do this to me. . . Sa kaibigan ko pa talaga. "Wife, it's not what you think, okay? Let me explain-" His voice's shaking. Umiling ako at tinulak ang kamay niya nang akmang hahawakan niya ako. Patuloy sa pagbuhos ang mga luha ko habang nakatingin sa mga mata niya. "No! Don't touch me! I hate you. . ." I sob. "I-I don't want to see you, so please don't come home," I muttered between my sobs. Then, I look at Ashleigh, who's watching us with her triumphant expression. I want to slap and pull her hair for trying to steal my man, but I don't want to cause a commotion. I clenched my fist as I looked at her with hatred and disgust. "Fuck you, bitch," I said with hatred and flipped my middle finger at her. Then, I storm out of Reeve's damn office. "Wife! Please, listen to me first-" He abruptly followed me and tried to explain, but I cut him off. I s
Faithful "WHERE is he?" Nag-aalalang tanong 'ko nang salubungin ako ni Luhen pagdating 'ko sa loob ng club. "Your husband is there!" I glanced at the direction where his finger were pointing to at napanganga ako nang makita si Reeve, nakahiga sa sofa, nakapikit habang may hawak na bote ng Black label. My throat was dry, so as my lips. I can't stop myself from getting hurt just by the sight of him. Napunta sa lamesa ang mga mata 'ko at napasinghap nang makita kung gaano karaming bote ang nakapatong doon. Halos liparin 'ko ang distansiya palapit sa kaniya. Naupo ako doon sa kapirangot na space sa may bandang ulo niya at marahan na tinapik ang pisngi niya, ginigising siya. "Reeve. . . Wake up. Reeve, wake up," I whispered, trying so hard not to shed a tear. He didn't wake up, and he just groaned. I took an aggravated sigh. Kaagad lumapit si Luhen at bumuntong hininga nang makitang ayaw gumising ni Reeve. "Damn. I thought you could knock some sense to him, but I guess not,"
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. When the boarding was announced, we knew we needed to let our feet walk until we reached the inside of the plane. I was pulling o
