Thank you for reading, see you in the next chapter!
Angel"Look closely at the fabric and design. This is for casual wear, so it has to be comfortable," I explained to one of the designers at SA Clothing. Honestly, they were all talented, so I couldn't understand why the company was facing such a huge financial crisis."Yes, Ma'am," Jek responded. We were in the meeting room discussing the company's new designs."I want all the designs finalized for the third-quarter catalog.""Copy, Ma'am," the four designers, including my assistant, responded in unison before standing up. Just as they were leaving, the door opened, making all of us turn to look."Good morning, baby," Salvatore greeted, making my eyes widen. The people who heard him grinned, which only made me glare at him in annoyance."I told you not to call me that, especially in front of other people," I snapped once everyone had left, leaving just the two of us."And why not?" he asked as if he had no idea what I meant."Look, we're at work, and as much as possible, I just want to
Salvatore“Papa, is it ready?” Savinna asked. I was setting up their laptops for their online class. I really wanted to transfer them to a school here in the Philippines because their class schedule was so off. Morning in Michigan meant nighttime here.“All set, sweetheart. Go ahead and take your spot, you too, Savanna.” The twins happily followed while I sat beside my baby, busy with her tablet on the sofa. I gently lifted her back a little and stretched my arm around her, pulling her close. She didn’t resist and just kept doing what she was doing.I kept switching my gaze between the twins and Angel, who was now leaning on me. I caught the twins smiling at us as if they were happy with what they saw. I signaled them to focus on their laptop, and they quickly did.I should’ve been bored since I wasn’t doing anything, but watching my family like this made me feel content.I could hear the twins answering their teacher, and it made me proud to know they were smart. Well, not to brag, bu
SalvatoreFor the past three weeks, I’ve felt like I’m in heaven because my relationship with Angel has progressed. I brought some clothes to my wife and child’s condo. I wanted them to live with me but knew I had to take things slow. I didn’t want Angel to think I was being too pushy.Angel and I go to work together every day, and at night, we sleep beside each other, but that’s as far as it goes. Angelo and Nadia visit them on weekends, and we all spend time together.I never thought I had this much self-control, resisting the urge to claim the woman I love. Maybe it's also because I fear she’ll get mad if I push myself on her.“You look busy.” I lifted my head when I heard Mauro’s voice. “You didn’t even hear me knock.”I stretched my back and leaned on my chair. “Not really. I just want to finish my work before going home.”“Because of Angel?” he asked as he walked closer and sat in front of my desk.“Of course. That way, we can go home together.” Sometimes, she leaves first when I
Angel"Mommy, are you sure you're still going to wait for Papa?" Savanna asked, and I nodded. Their classes had just ended, but Salvatore still hadn't arrived."He had a lot to do earlier before I came home, so I went ahead.""But you're still not eating," Savinna answered this time."Your Papa hasn't eaten yet either, so I'll wait for him." The two of them stayed quiet, just looking at me. "You know what? Why don't you both go to your rooms now and sleep?""Okay," they said in unison before kissing my cheek and heading to their rooms. I stayed in the living room, sitting on the sofa, waiting a little longer. I glanced at my phone, itching to call him, but I stopped myself.I waited for another hour before finally getting up to put away the laptop the twins had been using. I lost my appetite since it was already so late. I was on my way to the door to lock it when it suddenly opened, and Salvatore walked in, stopping when he saw me."You’re waiting," he said after locking the door behi
Mature ContentSalvatoreI felt like I was going crazy when I saw her nightdress. It barely covered anything, especially since it was so thin, and she wasn’t even wearing underwear. I was so damn close to picking her up and taking her to bed to claim her over and over, but she pushed me out of the room.I stayed in the living room and tried to sleep but couldn’t. After a few more minutes, I gave up and went back to the bedroom. I could clearly see her figure lying on the bed, peacefully sleeping.How could she fall asleep so quickly, as if what she said earlier didn’t affect her at all? Fuck. She told me we should have another set of twins. I’m such an idiot, as always!I took off my shirt before lying down beside her, positioning myself behind her. Hesitantly, I pressed a light kiss on her exposed shoulder, but she didn’t move.“Baby…” I called softly, continuing to plant gentle kisses from her shoulder up to her cheek. I stroked her hair carefully, like always when I put her to sleep
AngelEven though my body was sore, I still woke up early the next day. I was already used to this routine, so it didn’t really matter how tired or sleep-deprived I was.I looked beside me and saw Salvatore still fast asleep. I couldn’t help but smile, remembering how he claimed me last night while whispering that he could still keep up with me.I was momentarily confused when I realized we had ended up with our heads at the foot of the bed. I glanced at Salvatore again and gently stroked his cheek.I looked at him until I noticed something on my finger. I brought my hand closer and stared at it."Do you still remember?" I turned to look at Salvatore, who was now awake. He reached for my hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed it."When did you—""I never took that off. It was always attached to my necklace." So that was what I noticed last night."I'm sorry, I took it off.""It’s my fault. But honestly, I was hoping you’d leave with it.""Good thing I didn’t, or I might have sold it.
MauroI’m nervous about my plan. My talk with Angelo wasn’t going to take a whole week, but I told Salvatore just in case something unexpected happened.I love Nadia, and I want to be with her. Damn, I’m old, yet I’m still single because I kept waiting for that stubborn woman.Honestly, it’s fine because I allowed Nadia to do what she wanted. She could work, and I could see the happiness on her face when she finally gave her parents a good life.Now that Angel is back, I’ve decided to take things seriously with that restless woman. Well, after talking to Angelo, I hope it will go well. Salvatore is lucky; he already has twins, and I’m just about to start my own family.“What are we even going to talk about?” Angelo asked. I looked at him closely and couldn’t help but shake my head and smile.We were on the balcony of the condo we lived in. Yes, we lived together. Ever since Angel left, I took care of him. Better me than him staying with Nadia; that would’ve given him an advantage over

That confirmed it was really her."How did you get in here?" I asked, stepping closer as she approached me, too."I opened the door.""And you think I wouldn’t know that?""Then why are you asking if you already know?""I'm asking you, my love. Can’t you just give me a proper answer for once?" She's always like this. Every time I try to have a serious conversation with her, she just jokes around."You're drunk. Why would I bother talking to you properly?""I'm not drunk! I just had a few drinks.""And you had to argue about it.""You still haven’t answered me. What are you doing here?""Looking for Angelo." She was staring straight at me while I was getting annoyed. Why was she looking for that kid?"Why?" I asked, trying to hide my irritation."He left his keys at my place.""He went to your house?" I asked to confir

Salvatore“Papa, why did you leave Mom?” Savinna asked. I could see she really took after Angel. I looked at Savanna, sitting beside me, just staring, waiting for my answer.“Because I’m an idiot,” I replied after a while. That's the only possible answer I could give them.“We already know that,” Savanna replied without hesitation. She’s exactly like me. “What Sav wants to know is the real reason. Like, do you have another woman? Do we have another sibling to another woman?”“Of course not! I only love your mother!” I answered quickly, and I saw Savanna’s expression change. She seemed to like my response.“Then you really are an idiot.”“Savanna, watch your language.” I smiled when I heard Angel’s voice. After cleaning the kitchen, I joined them in the living room. If this is what it feels like to have them all in one place, I’d trade everything I have just to keep moments like this forever.“Sorry, Mom.” I love how the twins always apologize to their mother whenever Angel corrects the
