All Chapters of The Millionaire's Runway Wife: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

IT WAS around midnight when I had the chance to get home from work. We had a long-complicated surgery today, so I came home late. Since the house is near the hospital, mabilis lang akong nakauwi sa bahay.I wasn't expecting Reeve to be awake since it was already late, but I was astonished to see him on the sofa, sitting with his laptop on his lap and a coffee mug on the Coffee table. As usual, he's wearing a navy blue muscle tee and gray sweatpants.He quickly shifted his head in my direction and I feel like I was a burglar that got caught thieving in action. His eyes flickered with an unfamiliar emotion when he saw me entering the house.I kept my face and posture relaxed despite his presence. "I didn't expect to see you awake," I uttered as I removed my shoes to switch them into my house slippers."I was waiting for you," he drawled.I quickly twisted my head at him as my stomach cramped with guilt. "Y-You waited for me?" I uttered softly.His lips quirked as his eyes turned gl

"Are you two Married?"Napangiwi ako, but I still remained poised. "Well, we still need to get to know each other, Doc," I said politely.Before we can even go further with their personal questions about our status, nagpaalam na ako na uuwi na. Nagpaalam na muna ako kina Dra. Nikki at Eunice at sa iba pang doctor bago lumabas ng pub.Nang makalabas kami sa pub ay halos gawin ko ng dalawa ang hakbang ko para hindi kami magka-usap ni Reeve. I don't want to talk to him. I'm still on the verge of throwing a fist on his face because of what he said in front of my co-workers.Pero nakalimutan kong kamag-anak pala niya si Daddy long legs dahil nahabol niya kaagad ako sa parking lot. He cornered me in front of my car."So, courting stage, huh? You told them that I'm your suitor?" His voice took on a familiar cocky lilt."What do you want me to say? Gusto mo bang sabihin kong asawa kita? That you're my husband?!" Bagamat kalmado ang boses ko ay madiin 'yon.His eyes twisted with irritation and

THE next days were just similar set-up. I would wake up in the morning by Reeve. We will eat breakfast together then he will hand me my lunch and snacks that he prepared. After ko umalis ay doon pa lang siya aalis ng bahay. Sa gabi naman, he comes home early while I always get home late, so it's surprising that he's not here yet.Mas nauna akong umuwi sa kanya ngayon. I checked my phone to see if he texted or called me, but he didn't. Maybe he's busy at his restaurant.Mag-a-alas nuwebe y medya na kaya kumain na ako mag-isa. I cooked spaghetti meatballs with mozzarella cheese. Nasanay akong kumain na kasabay si Reeve kaya ngayon na wala siya, I suddenly felt lonely while eating.Pagkatapos kong kumain ay niligpit ko na ang mga pinagkainan ko para mahugasan na. I just put the extra spaghetti I cooked inside the fridge. Then, I went up to my room to take a night's shower and do my skincare routine. After I took a shower, I applied a sheet face mask. I took my laptop and searched for my

KINABUKASAN ay nagising ako dahil sa kung anong mabigat na bagay na nakasiksik sa'kin. I slowly opened my eyes and was caught off guard when I saw Reeve still on the bed, hugging me. His legs were caging me, and his arm wrapped around my stomach.He looks so innocent while sleeping.I took a breath and examined his face while he was peacefully sleeping. From his thick and dark eyebrows, my eyes went down to his hooded eyes. His eyelashes are thick and curly, which gives his amber orbs look mystical and eye-catcher. Natural na mapungay o parang inaantok ang mga mata niya dahil sa mga talukap nito. He has tiny stubbles on his prominent jaw, and he got an aristocratic nose. Ang mga labi naman niya ay manipis sa ibabaw habang ang sa ibaba ay makapal at natural na mapupula.The tattoos on his arm aren't big and not too many. Kung bibilangin ay nasa limang tattoo lang ang meron siya. Ang pinakamalaking tattoo niya ay ang snake tattoo niya.He looks very beautifully sinful.Huli na para maba

DAYS passed, and I felt like I was living in a dream. Being Reeve's wife is a great feeling, no doubt. He wasn't kidding when he told me he wanted to work out our marriage. Because of his unceasing efforts, I learn how to be comfortable around him.He was able to melt my guard down.I smiled as I breathed through the cold night as I leaned on the railings of our balcony, watching the dark yet peaceful sky as it gave me peace after a long day of tiring work at the hospital.I'm wearing my usual pajamas— a pair of yellow satin shorts pajamas and a short sleeves button-down from my favorite brand. Since the fabric was satin, humahaplos sa balat ko ang malamig na simoy ng hangin.Narinig ko ang pagtigil ng tunog ng shower mula sa loob ng kwarto— his done taking a shower. My heart started to pound when I heard a door opened and closed. Kinagat ko ang labi ko at napainom sa gatas ko nang biglang pumasok sa isip ko ang taong nasa loob ng kwarto at nagbibihis ngayon.Ilang araw na kaming mag
