I don't know what time William went home dahil maaga akong nakatulog. Nagising nalang akong nasa ibang kwarto at yakap-yakap niya. Napakurap ako at hindi makapaniwalang lumingon Kay William na mahigpit na nakayakap sa akin ngayon. Nagulat pa ako ng makitang gising na siya. He stared at me and planted a kiss on my forehead. "Good morning, wife." he greeted me with his bedroom voice. "Good morning, William." I greeted him back as I nuzzled on his chest. This is nice. The warmth from his body felt so nice. I looked around the room and noticed that black dominated the color of his room. His wall is painted with black. His blind folds too are black. His bed sheet is gray and most of things are black. The only thing that isn't black is his carpeted floor. It's gold in color. "How did I end up here?" tanong ko sa kanya. "Hmm. I went to your room and transferred you here." sagot niya. Hindi ko man lang namalayan na binuhat niya ako kagabi. Tulog na tulog siguro ako. I looked at the w

I tried my best not to give into Wil's touch. For goodness sakes pareho na kaming nakabihis. I turned to him and kissed his cheeks then I held his hand, fingers intertwined. I pulled him outside of my room. I laughed at his reaction. He didn't expected it. “You got me there, wife.” “I'm still sore.” I whispered to him. He looked at me and shook his head while smirking. Damn hot. Sabay kaming bumaba ng hagdan. His hand placed on my bare back. I saw Gustav at the front of mansion's door. He made a call when he saw us descending from the grand staircase. I bet it's the driver he called. He bowed at William and step aside as we walked through. The limousine is already waiting for us. Two of the securities open the car's door as William and I get inside. I give the address to William and he forwards it to Gustav who is now sitting on the side of the driver seat. Two cars are in our front while the other three followed us. William made a call of his secretary saying to finalize

Naka-angkla ang aking kamay sa braso ni William habang hinihintay si Snow na bumaling sa amin.“Thank you for coming!” Ngumiti ako kay Snow at niyakap siya. Nasa bukana siya ng pintuan kasama ang kanyang asawa. Tapos na ang party at nag uwian na ang kanyang ibang bisita. The girls are still here, enjoying the company of each other. Inaantok na ako kaya kahit hindi ko pa gustong umuwi dahil gusto ko pa sanang makipag-usap sa kanila ay inaya ko na si William. The other girls and their husbands will stay for a while. Kami lang ni William ang mauunang umuwi. Nagpaalam na ako sa kanila kanina lang at hindi pa sana sila papayag pero ng makita na lang namumungay na ang aking mata dahil sa antok ay pumayag na rin sila.“You're welcome. And thank you for inviting us, Snow.”Nag-usap saglit sina William and Kirill bago kami lumabas ng kanilang mansion at sumakay sa naghihintay na limousine. The security personnel immediately went to their position. I waved for the last time at Snow before we

Malalaking hakbang ang ginawa ko papasok sa opisina ni William. Limang araw na siyang hindi umuuwi sa mansion pagkatapos ng gabing iyon. Tinanong ko si Gustav kong nasa labas ba ng bansa si William dahil hindi man lang ito tumatawag sa akin o kahit magpadala man lang ng mensahe pero hindi naman daw at nasa kanyang opisina lang kung kaya’t nagpasya ako ngayon na bisitahin siya. I told Gustav not to tell him because it’s a surprise visit. Nagulat ang kanyang secretary ng dire-diretso ang pasok ko sa loob ng opisina ni William. Gustav and the other securities stayed outside of Wil's office.Kumunot ang aking noo ng walang tao pagpasok ko pero may coat na nakapatong sa swivel chair. Sinarado ko ang pintuan at naglakad papunta sa kanyang mesa. I looked around and saw a luxury bag on the sofa. Napalingon ako sa kaliwang parte ng opisina ng may marinig akong kakaibang boses. Habang papalapit ako dito ay lumalakas ang tunog na naririnig ko. Kinakabahan man ay lumapit ako dito at nalamang may

Hindi agad ako nakatulog ng gabing yun. Hindi ako tumuloy na makipagkita kina Snow dahil biglang sumama ang aking pakiramdam. Kung kaya't sa halip na magpahatid ako sa cafe ay dumaan na lang ako sa convenience store upang bumili ng almond nuts. Ewan ko at bigla akong nag-crave nito. Sa sasakyan pa lang ay sinimulan ko na itong kainin. And I can't describe how satisfactory it was. Alas diez ng umaga na ako nagising kinabukasan at tinatamad akong bumangon sa kama. My personal helper brought my breakfast in my room. Sa kwarto na ako kumain. Pagkatapos kong maligo ay nakatulog ulit ako. I can't believe how I can be a sleeping monster these past few weeks. Lumabas ako ng kwarto suot ang puting bestida. My hair is in a messy bun. Wala ako sa mood na ayusin ang ayos ko. The securities are just watching me professionally. Sinalubong ako ni Gustav sa living room at tinanong kung saan ang punta ko. I dismissed him saying I'm only going to the kitchen to get some ice cream I bought the other

Sinabihan ko si Gustav na huwag ng ipaalam kay William na pupunta kami ngayon sa clinic ni Doc Nathan. Hindi agad siya pumayag dahil trabaho niya raw ang i-report ang lahat ng ginagawa ko o ang lahat na pupuntahan ko. I rolled my eyes at him in annoyance and told him that I don't want William to get worried about me. Kailangan ko lang pumunta sa clinic upang makasigurado na maayos lang ako. Eventually, pumayag rin naman siya na huwag ng ipaalam kay William ang pagpunta namin sa clinic. Sandali lang din naman ako sa loob dahil ako lang ang naka-schedule sa buong umaga, much to my advantage.Doc Nathan gave me pregnancy test kits. I tried it three times and he even took a sample of my blood too to make it more accurate. And the results are all the same. It's positive. I am pregnant!“Congratulations, Mrs. Cavanaugh. It's still in its early weeks, so you need to be more careful. Please refrain yourself from stressful things because it won't be good for you. The first trimester is the mo

“What do you think you are doing?” Malamig na tanong ni William sa akin ng hawakan ko ang kanyang braso upang pigilan siya sa pag-alis. I can see how his vascular arms protruded. “Can you please stay?” mahina kong sabi. Kakarating niya lang at aalis na naman siya. He looked at my tiny hand on his arm looking so disgusted. Napabitaw ako sa pagkakahawak sa kanya at sinalubong ang kanyang malamig na tingin. I don't understand. Alam kong nakakatakot siyang tao sa unang pagkikita pa lang namin pero sa ilang buwan na pagtira ko dito sa mansion ay kailanman ay hindi niya ako pinagbuhatan ng kamay. Hindi niya niya rin ako pinagsasalitaan ng masama pero bakit bigla na lang siyang naging ganito kalamig sa akin ngayon. We were fine. We were doing well. We even made love and he was sweet and thoughtful to me. Pero bakit biglang nagbago ang ihip ang ng hangin?“I love you, Wil. I really am. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ayaw mong maniwala pero yun ang totoo. Please give me a chance to live you.” I sa

Napatampal ako sa aking noo ng magising na nag-iisa na naman ako sa kwarto. Pagkatapos naming magniig ni William ay nakatulog ako. And now, I'm alone in my bed when I woke up. It's past lunch now.I dialed the kitchen's number and asked for food to be delivered to my room. I looked at myself and thank goodness, William dressed me up.I got off in my bed and looked at my phone. There was no message for him so I sent him one asking where he is. I didn't expect him to reply immediately so I put down my phone after sending him a message. A knock on my door came after a while. It was Lydia, my personal helper. “Good day, Mrs. Cavanaugh. Here's your food.”“Thank you, Lydia,” I said as she handed me the tray with a crab soup and a Caesar salad I requested. She nodded and distanced herself from me and patiently waited on the corner side of the room. I told her she can sit down on the sofa but she firmly declined my offer. Hindi ko na siya pinilit at hinayaan siya sa kung ano ang gusto niya
