“Niccolo. It’s been a long time. I’m happy to see you again.” Napaiwas ako ng tingin nang ilahad ni Dad ang kaniyang kamay upang makipag kamayan ngunit tinignan lamang iyon ni Accius. “I need to go with Dollina now. It’s nice meeting you again.” He said in a formal way. “Ah, already? Dad?” Vienna interrupted. “Oh, right. Niccolo. You already know her, right? She’s Vienna, my daughter. Sadie’s older sister. I hope you two will get along since we’re together here in our company."“Ah, hi. It’s nice meeting you, Niccolo. I’m Vienna,” Vienna smiled shyly. I can’t tell if she’s intimidated by his presence. Accius just nodded at her and turned at me. I knew he wanted to leave together with me but I should come with my father and sister. They came here unexpectedly. Nagtungo na kami sa opisina ni Dad. I told Accius that I’ll just massage him. I should be with my sister first. “Anyway. I wanna see your office, Sadie. Should we go there?” Vienna said. “Sure. Dad will come with us?” She s
"Mommy. Abuela and Abuelo are here na? We will go to their mansion to visit?" Sirena asked while fixing her ribbon clip in her hair. "Yes, Sirena. And remember what I've told you? You'll meet your Tita Vienna. My sister," I smiled. "Will she like us?" Sirena tilted her head and looked at me with her innocent look. "Of course, baby." When we arrived at the mansion, Mom was already there, waiting for us with the foods she cooked. Tumakbo ang dalawa patungo sa kaniya. Mom hugged both of them. Tuwang-tuwa na makita ang kambal. Mabilis niyang ma-miss ang dalawa kaya paniguradong miss na miss niya na ang dalawa. She adores the two more than me. But that's fine with me, they can love my kids more than me. Ang gusto ko lang ay ang mahalin nila at iparamdam iyon sa dalawa. I don't care about myself anymore. All I care about is my kids. "Hi, Mom. Where's Dad and Vienna?" I asked when U noticed that she's the only one here. She sighed. "Papunta na ang Dad mo. I told him that he should free
“What do you mean, Mommy?” I got their full attention now. “Do you want to meet your father?” maingat kong tanong. “We can meet our Dad, Ma?” Archer’s confused little voice. I nodded. “Yes. baby. If you two want that, then, we will.” “Of course, Mommy! That’s my dream.” I can see how excited she is. Ganoon din si Archer na may ngiti sa mga labi. “Can we finally meet our Dad? Is that okay?” I nodded at Archer to assure him. It’s Sirena’s dream, and Archer’s wanted it for a long time. Hindi ko alam na ganoon nila kagusto na makilala si Accius. I don’t know what his opinion would be if he found out that we have twins. Back then he wanted to have kids with me. Nagbago kaya ‘yon? But after all. I’ll respect his decision. I’ll accept his words and decision. I hide them from him. Days passed. Hindi ko pa rin nakakausap si Vienna. I'm not visiting her in the mansion and I'm too busy at my office to see her. Nasabi rin ni Mommy na busy siya sa kumpanya. "Mr. Vasquez visited earlier, Ms
Galing ako sa kusina patungo sa living room ng bahay nang madatnan ko ang tatlong mag-aama na magkakasama roon habang masayang nag-uusap. The twins look so hapy with their big smile while talking with their father. Tutok naman si Accius sa kanilang mga sinasabi habang may mga ngiti sa kaniyang mga labi. Maya-maya pa ay nakaramdam na nang antok si Archer kaya nagtungo na ito sa kaniyang kuwarto. Sirena was in her Dad’s arms. Nakatulog na ito sa mga bisig niya habang kandong ito. Nag-angat ng tingin sa akin si Accius at tumayo habang maingat na buhat sa si Sirena.“Where’s her room?” Dinala ko siya patungo sa room ni Sirena. He gently put Sirena on her bed. Inayos ko na lang ang pagkakahiga niya at hinalikan siya sa noo. I turned at Accius who were staring at us. Papalabas na kami sa room ni Sirena nang bigla siyang magsalita. “Let’s talk, Doll.”I nodded and we headed to the veranda of my house. Pinagdiklop ko ang aking mga kamay at pasimpleng sumulyap sa kaniya na nasa malayo ang t
"Doll? What's the matter?" I stopped when I heard Accius' voice. Napalingon ako at nakita si Accius na pumasok sa aking kwarto. I smiled and sat on the couch in my room. He sat beside me and kissed my forehead. I suddenly realized how exhausted I was. I let my body rest on him. Sumandal siya sa backrest habang ako ay nakasandal sa kaniyang katawan. I buried my face on his neck. The warmth in his body was relaxing. His arms were wrapped around my waist. I felt his other hand enter under my shirt. Mas naramdaman ko ang init ng kaniyang palad sa balat ko habang humahaplos ang kaniyang kamay sa aking likod. "How's the twins? Tulog na ba?" I asked while relaxing in his body. He hummed and kissed the top of my head. "They're already sleeping. They wanted us to have a time together," he said. I chuckled. Nagtagal kami na ganoon hanggang sa hindi ko namalayan na nakatulog ako. Nagising na lamang ako nang mag umaga na. Bumaba ako at nakita si Accius na naghahanda ng pagkain sa lamesa. “G
"You had been stalking me for years, but you don't know that I can use a gun?" I asked, trying to sound sarcastic. "Wife. Please, give me that f*cking gun. Now," he commanded. "Accius. You can't just order me like that. I'm not one of your f*cking dogs!" I snapped. I may look brave right now, but inside of me is already trembling. I wanted to shout at him, I wanted to ask him so many questions. Pero hindi ko magawa. Dahil kung tatanuning ko siya ay maaaring biglang bumuhos ang mga luha kong kanina ko pa pinipigilan. He nodded and sighed. "Okay. You can have that gun. You can point that on me. Whatever you want, Doll. Just please, don't leave me." "Please, just don't leave me. I love you," he pleaded. His eyes were now gentle, like how I always see him. So different from what I saw earlier. My mouth parted, shaking my head. "You don't love me, Accius. You're just obsessed! That obsession of yours won't take us anywhere."Napailing siya na parang hindi makapaniwala sa mga naririni
I draw and anchor the bow. I let out a sigh as I released the arrow. I smirked as I looked at my score of 10. I heard Reed clapping his hands. "Nice shot, Sadie," he said, smirking at me. I shook my head as I watched him aiming the target. He scored 9. I smiled playfully and gave him a thumbs up. "Too bad, bro. When Sadie hits a perfect score, you'll lose," Kyle said. I fixed my grip on the handle and aimed the bow. Then I released it. "How's that?" I chuckled at Reed who was just smirking at me. "Good job, Sadie. You're getting better and better. Maybe soon I'll always lose against you, huh." "You're flattering me. But yeah, thanks to my great teacher," aniko at mahinang natawa. Reed is an archer so he's really good at this. "You're welcome?" he said, smiling playfully. Kyle, Reed and I did a high five as we finished. I took off my finger tab, arm guard and chest guard. "You should go home. It's nearly late. You'll be scolded again," sabi ni Levi habang nililigpit
Just like the plan, we got married but not in the church or grand wedding like my dream. He's just quiet, he's only looking at me that makes me uncomfortable. His parents aren't even there. Do they care? His son is marrying someone and they are not here. But that's not for me to think anymore. Niccolo wanted me to live in his mansion right away. I was even surprised when my things in my room weren't there anymore. But it's a big surprise when I saw Hunter sitting in my bed. I gasped and started to sob. I open my arms wide, welcoming him to hug me. I smiled when come to me right away."Hunter! I missed you so much!" I cried and kissed him. He's big now. He barked at me trying to hug me. I chuckled and tried to carry him but I couldn't. He's already big so I can't. "Hunter! How are you? Are you okay now? Mabuti naman at magaling ka na. Naka-uwi ka na rin sa'kin sa wakas." Just by looking at him makes me happy. Ang kulay puti niyang balahibo ay napaka linis. He's a White Siberian hu
