See you in the next chapter!
AngelWhen I woke up, my body was aching. I didn't even want to get up, feeling lazy. I thought about what happened last night and couldn't believe how intensely Salvatore claimed me. I never thought he would be taking me that way. I mean, he literally fucked me!Wait, speaking of Salvatore— I looked to my side and noticed he was still asleep. How am I supposed to face him, especially after remembering the things I said to him last night? I moaned and begged him to thrust harder. It's embarrassing! It didn't even feel like it was my first time!I slowly moved to get up, even though I didn't really want to. My body was still sore because of everything Salvatore made me do—things I never thought I could. I didn't even realize my body was that flexible!Just when I thought I could get up, Salvatore pulled me back."Rest, baby, you're tired," he whispered as he wrapped me in his arms, making me lie back down. A wave of electricity spread through my body, making my hair stand on end. I was
AngelDays passed, and I finally started my online classes. It was fine because Salvatore made sure I had everything I needed. He bought me a laptop and a new cellphone, and I learned from Mauro that Angelo was also fully equipped. In a conversation with my brother, I discovered he was now attending a private school.I was so happy because, at last, my brother and I could study. It felt like a dream, which seemed impossible to achieve when living with Aunt Anacleta. I never imagined that things would improve after she used Angelo and me to pay off their debt.Meanwhile, the last time something happened between Salvatore and me was the morning after my first time. I don't know if he lost interest or what, but he still kisses me often, and at night, we still sleep next to each other, with him holding me tightly as if I would disappear from his side. I don't know what changed or why he hasn't tried anything again.I enjoyed what we did, but that's not why I'm wondering. Of course, with ho
AngelI didn't expect my relationship with Salvatore to go smoothly initially. But somehow, I started to trust him. He still frequently went out, and whenever he did, I couldn't help but feel anxious, fearing that something might happen to him.It was noon, and my class had just ended when Salvatore suddenly entered our room. I smiled at him before standing up from my seat and kissing him. "You're early," I said as our lips parted."I didn't leave. I was just downstairs." I frowned, thinking he had left earlier and gone somewhere."Okay, do you have something to do?" I asked."Yes, I'm leaving. I'm going to buy some clothes," he replied as he walked to the walk-in closet, presumably to change, so I just waited for him to finish.When he came out, I asked, "Are you going to a party later?"He's wearing a simple, long-sleeved polo shirt rolled up to his elbows and denim jeans, making him look even more handsome. I swallowed hard because his chest was clearly defined."Yes.""Are you goin
AngelI don’t know exactly what I should feel. It’s like a painful weight on my chest. He said he would only be around men, but why is a woman beside him? Is this why he seems different? Who is that woman, and why do I always see her with Salvatore? They aren’t just together—they’re always kissing. Am I not enough? Is she the reason nothing’s been happening between us again? Or maybe they’re having an affair, and that time he was with me, she just wasn’t available?I lay in bed, feeling empty, and decided to just sleep. I had planned to wait for Salvatore, but there was no point. I’d just look like a fool waiting for him when he already has someone beside him, and he’ll probably be home by morning anyway.The next day, I woke up with a heavy feeling. When I looked beside me, Salvatore wasn’t there, and there was no sign he had slept there either. My suspicions were probably right—they were together.Even though I didn’t feel like it, I forced myself to get up for class. I can’t let my
Angel He didn’t say anything after I said that and just stare at me. “What did you say again?” he asked, furrowing his brow. “I want to work,” I repeated, keeping my gaze on him. He clenched his jaw before running his hands over his face. I felt a bit of fear, worried that I might have angered him too much and he might do something to me. But then I realized that something like that might happen if he got tired of me and kicked us out—me and my brother. “Has there ever been a time when you or Angelo didn’t have food?” he asked, holding back his anger. “No.” “Is there something you need that I haven’t provided for you or your brother?” In terms of material things, no, there wasn’t. Everything was available in his house. But security—security for a lifetime—was something I wanted him to provide for me. But I couldn’t tell him that. I took a deep breath before answering, “None.” “Give me a good reason why you’ve told me you want to work.” He was still trying to control his anger,
AngelEven though I was annoyed and had to serve them, I couldn’t do anything about it. After getting their order, I brought it to the kitchen before getting back at them with glasses and a pitcher of water.“Water, Ma’am?” I asked the woman with a smile. She seemed too focused on Salvatore to even look at me, so I poured her some water.When I turned to Salvatore, I didn’t even get a chance to speak because the woman interrupted me. “No need to ask him; I don’t like any woman talking to him,” she said with a hint of threat. I decided to follow her.“As you wish, Ma’am,” I said with a smile, then left to wait for their order at the counter. I would if I could avoid serving them, but that wasn’t possible.I tried not to look at them but couldn’t help myself. Pretending to glance around, I saw Salvatore all eyes and ears on the woman, listening attentively to whatever she was saying.I looked down in embarrassment, thinking he might look at me, too. Maybe he’d sneak a glance. But I was w
AngelI approached them to stop the old spoiled woman from causing a scene.“And you’re back,” she said with a grin. “Do you need anything else, Ma’am?” I asked after deep breaths, trying not to show my frustration. “I need water and do it fast.” “Okay, Ma’am.” I glanced at Benedict and pulled him away toward the water dispenser. I grabbed the pitcher nearby, filled it with water, and returned to table number 9. “Here’s your water, Ma’am,” I said while carefully pouring it into the glass before her. I felt she was about to do something bad, so I prepared myself. I wasn’t wrong. As soon as I saw her grin and stand up, I knew what was coming. I watched as she threw the water in my face. “That’s for calling me old, you good-for-nothing!” She was about to slap me, but I stopped her hand. What she had done was already too much for her unreasonable anger. “Ma’am, you’re a customer, but I’d like to remind you that our establishment has CCTV cameras that can be used to file a case again
AngelMy manager sent me home early, saying he'd clock me out since the workday was almost over. I thanked her and started getting ready to leave.As I walked toward the ride stop, I glanced at a convenience store. Without thinking twice, I went in, even though I had no idea what I would buy. I headed straight to the back, where the drinks were, and grabbed a beer without much thought.I don't drink because I don't like the taste, but I couldn't help it this time. I was upset with Salvatore. Honestly, I'm way better looking than that old spoiled woman! So why was he looking at her and not me?After paying for the beer and some snacks I picked up at the counter, I sat on one of the chairs inside the store. There were seats outside, but I didn't want to risk it—who knows if some crazy person would pass by and mess with me.I started drinking the beer with my snack, which I was glad I bought because the drink was really bitter. How do people even like this stuff? And they drink it like wa
Angel“Mommy, is this okay?” Savinna asked. It was Saturday, and we were in the kitchen, preparing lunch for Mauro, Nadia, and Angelo’s visit.Last week, Salvatore invited me and the kids to go out. The twins had a great time since I hadn’t really taken them anywhere like that before. Honestly, I wasn’t familiar with Manila and could only navigate around Angeles and Pampanga, which has probably changed a lot by now.“Get up and go to the living room, sweetheart. Let Mommy and me handle things here,” Salvatore said with a smile as he picked up our daughter from her chair and placed her on the floor. “Go and play with Savanna.”“But she doesn’t want to,” Savinna complained. Salvatore looked at me for help, but I wasn’t going to save him this time. I was done dealing with the twins' endless arguments and discussions about everything. It was his turn.“Besides, I want to help.”“Sweetheart, you’ll be a bigger help if you stay in the living room. Why don’t you turn on the TV and check if t

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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
