The weekend flashed by as quickly as it started and Monday had already creeped in and I'm dreading it. Kailangan kong pumasok at bibisita ulit si Hunter upang makita si Julian.Tulad nang mga nagdaang araw ay darating si Hunter ng alas siete o alas otso ng umaga para saluhan kami ng breakfast at makikipaglaro siya sa anak kong gustung-gusto ang atensyon mula sa kanya. They would start early in the morning and end 2 hours before Julian's bedtime.It had been a routine in a matter of days. Nagsimula akong magluto ng breakfast at dumating si Antonia ng pasado alas sais. I had to start early for I'm cooking for an army!"Bonjour, Madame..." she greeted me when she entered the kitchen.(Good morning, Madame...)"Bonjour, Antonia." I greeted her back and continued swirling the egg on the pan for scrambled eggs.(Good morning, Antonia.)"Madame, il y a beaucoup de gars dehors..." she paused as she peak at the living room, she must've been pertaining the ones at the door, "Du lobby aux banqu
Looming over me was Hunter Grayson Huntington. His aura is domineering. Like a tyrant king.Bumaba ang tingin niya kay Julian na mahimbing na natutulog sa bisig ko. At muling umangat sa lebel ng mata ko."I just asked how you've been and your response is shut the fuck up?" he said in a rather airy voice as he tilt his head to one side and steadied his stare on me with those chartreuse eyes.It's been so long since I last saw those eyes. It brought back so much memories."Momma..." Julian called me.I look down to my sleeping son and with hushed voice I asked, "Yes, baby? What does my baby want?""Milk, momma..." he said and started cooing on my neck.I looked back at Hunter who's staring intently at the sleeping figure of my son."Hunter..." I called him.Nilingon niya ako, "Lola Estrella wants to see our child..." "Hun-"He cut me off, "I spent the last 3 years trying to find you, Julianne." his voice controlled, "I'm not asking this for me, Julianne. I'm begging you. Do this for Lo
Nakakunot ang noo ko nang maingat akong inalalayan ni Hunter pababa ng kanyang sasakyan. Ngunit 'di na rin ako nakaimik at pinabayaan siyang gawin ang gusto niya.It's not like that I'm really pregnant, right?It just happened one time.The sex, I mean.It just happened one time."Uhmm, Hunt..." I called him."Hmm?""Where are we?" I asked, "And whose house is this?" turo ko sa magarbong bahay sa harap namin.Tinitigan niya ako sandali, "That is m-" he paused, "I mean, our house that we are going to live in..."Is this a joke?Gusto ko iyong sabihin ngunit pinigilan ko ang sarili ko. I just moved in with him just a week ago. Kakatapos ko lang din ayusin ang aking walk-in closet tapos lilipat na rin pala kami rito?As far as I'm concerned this is an exclusive village!This is Bel-Air Village!"If you don't like living here, I have a house in Urdaneta Village..." he sai
After our honeymoon, Hunter and I stayed with his family for another week before going back to the Philippines. I wasn't that thrilled coming back home.I'm already dreading facing Hunter's parents and my parents as well. Marrying in a rush is such a mistake on our part. It was clear as day, we both came from wrecked marriage.Not one employee back at work knows about our sudden marriage at Vegas, which is a relief to me.Ayon sa mga dokumento, I'm married. But my name remains Julianne Averee Lustre. I'm aware how difficult it'll be for me to take my name back after taking Hunter's surname.Ayaw niya iyon siyempre. He's convinced that I should take his surname. Pero will Tito Henry allow me to use it? I'm aware how prideful Huntingtons are. Kita iyon sa klase ng pamumuhay nila.If they disagree with our marriage, we can easily divorce since we only did a Vegas wedding."Are you sure, you're leaving here?" malungkot sa t
Wedding day arrived in a flash. Our scheduled wedding is at 3 PM at the Paris Las Vegas' recreation of Eiffel Tower's observation deck.Darlene was the one who did my makeup. She painted my face in peach and nude colors. Like what we discussed yesterday, gusto kong magmukhang barefaced.Pagkatapos akong makeup-an ay inayos ni Tita Elizabeth ang buhok ko. She put my hair up in a bun. At saka inilagay ang tiara at ang veil."You're gorgeous Julianne!" Tita Elizabeth complimented me after nila akong ayusan.Tinitigan ko ang sarili sa vanity mirror. I don’t know why Tita Elizabeth complimented me in a fluttering way. Dahil simple lang naman ang aking makeup. Pero sa huli, pinilit kong ngumiti, "Thank you po Tita Eli...""We do apologize for this sudden wedding," wika nang Lola ni Hunter, "If Barbara and her fiancé didn’t back out, they c
I'm still confused as to why we are the ones that got the license to get married. Hindi ba iyong si Barbara na anak ni Tita Erisa ang ikakasal dahil buntis siya?Hunter and I was silent the entire ride to Paris Las Vegas. We are there to book our wedding. Ang sabi sa amin nang nagbigay sa amin ng aming lisensya ay by scheduling ang wedding ceremony sa Eiffel Tower ng Paris Las Vegas.It was unlike other wedding ceremony done along the chapels and/or places along the Las Vegas strip that is open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.Inalalayan ni Kuya Darren si Lola Estrella pababa ng kotse. She was smiling at us the entire ride. But I just can't seem to find happiness in this very situation.Hunter and I, We, are getting married in Paris Las Vegas' Eiffel Tower in three days!"I'm sorry in forcing you both to get married early, but as you may know..." the old lady clenched her
