"Are you crazy?!"

He chuckled as he continued to trail me to my car.

“What? You were the one who declared me your husband,” he exclaimed as we reached my car. “And by the way, I’ve heard Luther’s been asking about us.”

I turned to him and rolled my eyes. "I only said that because Nathalie was accused of being your side chick."

"Fine. Whatever you say. But when you’re ready to tell your family about us, let me know. I’m more than willing to make the announcement. I’m sure our families will be delighted."

"You wish!" I exclaimed before sliding into my car and departing, leaving him standing there.

As I made my entrance into the restaurant, my brother acknowledged me with a wave.

"Did I keep you waiting?" I inquired.

"No, not at all. I've only just arrived," he responded.

I couldn't help but notice his persistent gaze towards the entrance.

"Expecting someone?" I ventured to ask.

  • Devious Billionaire Husband   Back to normal

    I woke up feeling lighter now. For the first time in a long while, the heaviness on my chest was gone. I stretched and smiled a little. The talked I had with Mara last night helped me unload the heaviness in my heart. The guilt I felt because of the feelings I had with her husband is now gone. I feel more lighter and free. Going to the US is one of the best decisions that I've done. I was able to pursue the career that I really wanted and I successfully moved on from Andrew. Though Mara's word was bugging me, but I couldn't care less about it. What matters most is that I'm done with my one-sided love with Andrew and I'm now ready to moved forward. I stood in front of the mirror as I got ready for work. Today wasn't just another day, this day will serve as my new chapter in life. I am now leaving past behind me and ready to face my present and hopeful of my future. I had just stepped out of my car when I caught James staring at me. I gave him a brief nod, barely acknowledging his pr

    My eyes widened in shock. “How did you know?” I asked, my voice trembling as the weight of her words sank in.How long has she known about my feelings for her husband? Was I that obvious? Even James noticed how I felt about Andrew…But why didn’t she confront me sooner?Mara offered a timid smile, her expression soft as she reached for my hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. “I just found out a month ago,” she admitted.My forehead creased as confusion washed over me. “A month ago?”She gave me a small nod before recounting her conversation with James on the day I left their place.Mara's POV FlashbackYelle left the house and didn’t have dinner with us.

My daughter even cried when we explained that her ninang Yelle had to leave because something important came up, and she couldn’t join us for dinner.Thankfully, Andrew knew how to calm her down. James stayed for dinner, played with Tanya afterward, and tucked her into bed.Once Tanya was asl

  • Devious Billionaire Husband   Confession

    “What is he saying, Yelle? Who is in prison? And who is his victim?”I closed my eyes, frustrated by his tactlessness. I wasn’t ready to share this part of my life. It wasn’t easy to admit how foolish I’d been. I had almost become a victim of a gold digger.I’m a smart person. I can usually tell when someone has hidden motives, which made it even harder to accept what they had told me about Kyle. I couldn’t believe I had failed to see through his evil scheme.It made me question myself. Was I really that desperate to move on? So desperate that I let myself fall for a schemer?“Yelle! Answer me!”I snapped back to reality when Mara shouted at me. Her eyes were full of concern and panic. Andrew remained silent, but I could see the same worry in his eyes.Tears welled up in my eyes, and despite my efforts to hold them back, they began to fall.Mara stepped closer and wrapped her arms around me.I glared at James, still trying to hold back the tears. He avoided my gaze, leaving his express

    “Excuse me?!”What the hell is she talking about? Why would I ever name my future son Maru? That’s the last thing I’d do—never in a million years!In fact, I might just banish the name Maru from my list of future baby names. I can’t stand it!“Marry me.” He said in a whisper.“But I want Maru Ottave,” I whispered back.“I am Maru Ottave.” He said then he claimed my lips.Fudge! Why did that memory have to pop up now? This is all Mara’s fault!I glared at her. “Don’t say that again!”Mara and her husband just laughed. They think this is funny?! Ugh! I should have ignored the whole thing with their son’s name. Now it’s all backfiring on me.Mara and Andrew were busy tending their new born, while Tanya and I left in the living room. "Tada! Do you like it?" I asked Tanya while showing her the dress I bought in the US. I bought bunch of things for her. Of course I bought some for family, Mara, Andrew and their new baby. But most of my the things in my luggage are all the things I bought

    “Mom, Dad, look who’s with me!”Luther and I had kept my transfer back to the Philippines a secret from our parents. We wanted to surprise them—and it was the reason my brother had extended his stay in the U.S., to bring me back with him.My mom gasped, her eyes welling up as she took me in. “Abrielle? Is it really you?”I smiled, warmth flooding me as I nodded. “Yes, Mom. I’m home.”She crossed the room in an instant, pulling me into a tight embrace. My dad followed, wrapping his arms around us as my mom held on like she’d never let go.My brothers stood off to the side, grinning at our little family reunion. Daniel, who had helped plan this surprise, looked especially pleased as he watched our parents’ joy.To celebrate, Daniel had reserved a table at a fine-dining restaurant. As we settled into our seats and began eating, conversation flowed easily, filled with laughter and updates on life.Midway through dinner, my dad looked at me, curiosity in his eyes. “So, how’s James?

My brother had upgraded my ticket to first class, but we had to change flights since the first class seats on the original one were fully booked.As we checked in, I spotted James entering the airport. My brow furrowed in confusion. What is he doing here? He was supposed to be on the same flight as the JDLI team.“You’re here,” my brother greeted James with a nod.James merely nodded back, his eyes darting to his watch repeatedly, as if waiting for someone.“Are you expecting someone?” I couldn’t help but ask.He shook his head, a small smirk tugging at his lips. “Why would you think that?”I shrugged casually. “You keep looking at your watch.”“Oh, that… I’m just checking the time. Our flight’s coming up so
