"Wife."I turned to Luke when he called me. It's six in the morning and I'm dressing in my home clothes."What?" I asked him. He watched my every move and smiled."I'm going to the company, I just need to sign something." I laughed at what he said."Really, Luke? You still need to say goodbye?" I smiled at him."Yes!" He answered me. "You're my wife, that's why." I laughed so hard that it almost filled the entire room."Did I say something funny?" He asked me while furrowing his perfect eyebrows."Nothing, it's just not your habit to tell me." His forehead furrowed even more at what I said.I ignored him and left the room. I caught up with Nanny Josefa who was washing rice and placed it in a rice cooker. "Oh, daughter. You woke up too early today." The old woman greeted me warmly.I gave her a smile before speaking. "Because I plan to cook Luke's and twins breakfast." My answer."Why, what are you planning to cook?" – Nanny Josefa."Fried tilapia and then I will also make soy sauce w
"I'm sorry, Princess." the woman said between her sobs. I have no idea who Anna is talking to, but from what I can see, they really miss each other. I left them again and decided to go inside the house. I told Nanny Loleng the scene I witnessed outside the house, so we served it on the table. A few moments passed and Anna came in wearing a wide smile on her lips while her eyes were puffy. "Elle, it's mom." I covered my mouth with my hand in shock. I didn't think it was Anna's mother who was hugging her. The lady's eyes wandered all over the house as if memorizing everything in it. "Hello." I'm embarrassed to say hello. "Elizabeth Mendez." She introduces herself and extends her hand as she shakes hands. “Elle, Elle Copley.” I introduced myself and she nodded at me. "I know you." She answered me so Anna and I looked at each other. "You're Salvador's daughter." The cursing in my chest grew more because of what she said. Why does
“Salve’s house?” I repeated and he nodded."I know that Salve's our enemy from the very start. I once heard that he was talking to someone on the cellphone and I think that was your Aunt Trisha." He still answered."And then?" I asked again."He knew that I knew something, but he still pretended like it was nothing." I hugged him tighter.A few years have passed and Luke is still going through something like this."I love you." That's all I told him. A light smile came from his lips and kissed me on my forehead."I love you too, Elle." He answered.Until the night came, Luke never left our side, we watched television, played a game with twins and laughed all around until our stomachs hurt from laughing.It was seven in the evening when the doorbell rang so Luke and I looked at each other. Luke shrugged his shoulders indicating that he didn't expect anyone to visit so I stood up from my seat before heading outside the gate.I smiled widely at what my eyes saw. "Brianna!" I shouted and
I woke up because of the bed shaking and someone giggling. I saw the twins jumping on the bed while Luke was still covered with a blanket.I looked at the clock and it was seven in the morning. I need to dress up to go to the office. I know that I will be overwhelmed with work if I come in later, especially since Kim will not be able to come in today.I shook my head slightly remembering what I heard last night.I hit Luke, who immediately deflected it."Good morning daddy." Lucas’ language."Good morning babies." Luke answered while rubbing his eyes."I need to take a shower. I need to go to the office now." I said to Luke and he looked at me carefully. "What?" He asked but she pouted."Can you just stay here?" He asked me."You look like a baby daddy, look at your mouth." Lucia said giggling."I'll go with you mom." Lucas' groin."Me too, mom." - Lucia.The twins and I looked at Luke who couldn't paint his face."Maybe you want to come too?" I asked Luke and he sighed."I also have
It's like fate is really testing us. A few weeks have passed and Luke and I have been busy at work.Leaving the house without even getting to play with the twins and often they are still asleep when Luke or I leave. I will come at night when the twins are already tired and asleep.Lucia has been excited to go for a walk a few times but Luke and I only made promises, while Lucas wanted to go to the National Book Store which we also couldn't grant.I won't be surprised if the twins feel sullen because of our busyness at work.I sat on the sofa in the living room before resting my head and looking up. Silence enveloped the whole house.A few minutes later, I heard a car parked outside and Nanny Josefa was the first to enter, followed by the twins."Mommy!" Lucia shouted.I waited for Lucas to see if he would come but he didn't. He just looked at me before going up the stairs and for sure he went to his room."Look at this mom." I looked at what she was teaching. She has five stars on her
LUKE’S POINT OF VIEWI don't know what to do with her. She keeps lying.When I thought about her and watched her, I have piled up a lot of work, my contracts are almost a mountain, but I haven't even started one.I woke up in my senses. What am I going to do with this girl?! She is my wife but I hate her. Why can she lie? She pushes me to my limits.I have also hired a maid to be with Nanny Josefa in delivering and picking up the twins because they have already entered school.She's Angela. Its face is sophisticated and if you dress it up, you'd think it's always going to the bar and have some fun there. They are best friends with Marie. The twins need a guard more and Nanny Josefa is not capable of guarding them or fighting when Salve's men move."What did Marie say?" Harold asked me.He's here at my office, sulking because Anna has always fought with him.Because there are things that they shouldn't know, but the ending has to be told to them because of their stubbornness. Don't fol
The bedroom door opened. Luke entered there bent down and directly took off his polo shirt and pants.I stood up and approached him. He's my husband so I'm going to finish lying to him for a few days."Hey." I grabbed his attention and hugged him. He didn't move, he didn't hug me back but left and he got out of my embrace.It is inevitable to feel disappointment."I'm tired, not now." Luke's words raised my eyebrows. He moved away from me and went to the bed and immediately lay down."Is there a problem?" I asked as his right arm rested on his eyes."Is there a problem?" I bit my lip when he repeated my question. He looked at me with no emotion so I came to him and sat next to him."I was the first to ask." I still calmly answered him.He didn't say a word so I leaned into his muscular chest and lightly caressed it accordingly. "I've been piled up with work, we've been too busy in the past few weeks. Do you want us to travel with the twins? We can't be with them for a long time either
We only went to the children's Toy Kingdom. This is the only thing I can afford right now to be with them, but I can see the joy and happiness in their eyes."After this, we'll eat first then we'll go to the National Book Store." I said to Lucas and he nodded to me in response with a smile plastered on his lips.The first ride the twins took was the carousel. I'm happy to see them happy. Enjoying even without Luke. I was relieved because neither of them asked about their daddy.I also just want Luke and I to be okay, but my interrupted confession to him is even worse. He didn't direct me to the point and then I was the one to blame. I mumbled in my mind."I want Mang Inasal." Angela's words raised my eyebrows. She was driving to Kevin's mall, because Lucas preferred to look at a book there, which I accommodated."You're really, young woman." Nanny Josefa disobeyed Angela."It's okay, Nanny Josefa, but the twins want Jollibee,is that okay and if you want, you can just eat alone." I an
