“Are my babies ready?” I smile at Ulie as I showed him the twins. Today is their dedication day in the Church and also their official appearance to the public (with media).“They are so beautiful.” Ulie utter as he gives the twins kisses.“Of course they are. We are their parents, it’s already given.” I confidently said to him.He chuckled. “Mommy is getting cocky here. But we can’t deny that she is correct. Right babies?”The twins giggle as if they understand what we told them.I can’t help myself but give those two lots of kisses.“Finally you guys are here!” Kaela said as she went to us the moment our car arrived at the hotel parking space.The church venue is in the Laertes Hotel ballroom. The church is renting the said room for church service.“We are not yet late Kaela. Stop overreacting!” Ulie hissed at his sister.Kaela pouted her lips. “I just miss the twins, brother. Let’s go inside already, everyone is waiting”She went to me to carry Amelia while I was carrying Alistair.
Time flies so fast. Many unexpected things happened. Who would have thought that my plan of having someone to be with will come to this?I only want to have a child of my own, but God gave me more. He gave me a great partner-not romantically, but he can still be considered as family. Ulysses is a great dad to my soon-to-be five years old twin. Aside from Ulie, God gave me his family. It’s like a package deal.I couldn’t ask for more. I am very contented with my life right now, not to mention how my company grew for the past five years. We are now one of the in-demand architecture and engineering companies.Our company starts receiving clients abroad. My parent's vision for the company is now happening. I am sure that they are happy with all the company’s achievements.Speaking of international clients, we are currently waiting for Mr. Schulz of Schulz Technologies. Schulz Technologies are planning to have their office building here in the country.Most international clients, especia
“I heard that you had a meeting with Mr. Schulz?”I smiled and nodded at uncle Laertes. “Yes, Uncle. They are planning to have Schulz Tech's first office building here in the Philippines.”We are currently eating our dinner together as a family.“I assume that you already close the deal.”“I haven't closed the deal yet, but I will am confident that I will,” I said confidently.I am confident to say this because I know my capability and my subordinates as well. We proved that already for the past years.“What happened, Ellie? What's stopping them from giving you the deal?” Kaela curiously asks.“Nothing happens, Kaela, don’t worry. It's just that they wanted to see our design first before signing a contract with us, which is the standard in this industry. The client has the right to look for another Architect if they are not happy with the building design.” Kaela looks irritated, which made me confused. “That Quen is demanding! He always acts as if he was a king or something. Ugh!” “
My interest in Hadley Adelson started when Nick told me about her, how he became close with Ulie because of her. After I talked with Ulie about his friendship with Mr. Schulz, my interest in Hadley grew. I suddenly wonder, does Ulie like Hadley Adelson too?I could not ask him to elaborate on why his friendship with Mr. Schulz was ruined because of Hadley Adelson. After he told me that Hadley is the reason why their friendship was over, Amelia woke up and she was looking for us. We had no choice but to finish our conversation and go to Amelia to get her back to sleep.If I am not mistaken, Ulie wanted to cancel the wedding, and I don’t see why Mr. Schulz will get angry with Ulie. Unless Ulie also has a feeling with Hadley Adelson, he had no choice but to let her go because of his friendship with Mr. Schulz. I remember Nick told me that Hadley is in love with Ulie. Maybe, that’s the reason why Ulie’s friendship with Mr. Schulz is over. Well, all of these were all my assumptions. Nothi
In a few weeks, my twins will turn five. We all agreed that we will celebrate the twins’ birthday in Kade Quinn Island along. We invited some family friends like Nick, Luna, and Jace. The twins invited their close friends, some of them are with their parents, some are with their nannies.The preparation for the twins’ birthday is done. I ask Kaela for some help in managing the said party because I want to focus on my presentation with Mr. Schulz. My team and I are now having overtime to make sure that our presentation with Mr. Schulz tomorrow will be perfect. When I reach home, the twins are already asleep. I watch them sleep peacefully for a few minutes, then I kiss them and whisper to them good night. I was about to go to my room when I saw Ulie come out of his room.“You just got home?” He asked.I nodded at him. “Yes. We reviewed our presentation for tomorrow. We want to make sure that we are not missing anything. We want it to be perfect.”He went to me and hugged me. “I’m sure
Today is the twins’ 5th birthday. Most of the guests were amazed by the scenery of the island. I feel proud whenever I hear compliments about the island, especially when they start talking about the villas and suites of the island.“Who’s the architect of this island?” Elena, Cassie’s mom asked.“This island was designed and built by Cabello International Corp,” Ulie answered.Elena face me and started to give me compliments. “I also have an island but not as big as this, it was a gift from my husband. Can I hire your company to renovate my island?”“Of course, I would love to.”Elena handed me her business card. “Here’s my business card. I’m sorry, I know this was supposedly a vacation to you, but I can’t help it. I’m really amazed by your work now that I am seeing the actual product.” “No worries. I will ask my secretary to contact you and set a meeting with you once we are back in Manila.”Aside from Elena, other parents ask me to work with them. Some want me to renovate their res
“Nothing. I will never let myself fall in love with someone like him, even if he told me he liked me. I will never fall for him twice.” I feel weird. I know I should feel at ease now that Ellie is assuring me that she is done with the guy she once fell in love with. But instead, I feel scared without knowing the reason why I am feeling this way.“Hey, dude! Are you okay?”I looked at Nick who was seating beside me. I called him to join me for a drink. I feel like I needed it. There’s a lot of things going on in my mind. “I just feel weird.”“Is it because of Ellie’s first love?”I frowned. First, love my ass. Nick chuckled. He knew I didn’t like what he said.“Why are you frowning? It’s true. Or you prefer it as Ellie’s only love?” Then he laughs aloud.I was close to punching him, I just clenched my jaw. Who the heck is that guy anyway?!“Kidding aside, I know I’m right. Ellie is the reason why you called me this late to have a drink.” Nick said in a serious voice.I heaved a sigh.
I can’t sleep. I am bothered by my past. I didn’t expect that I will be sharing my painful past that casually with other people.FlashbackIt was my first day at the university when I first met him. I was looking for the room for my first class when I bump into him. He was tall, he was thin but still in a good physique. You know that he is handsome despite his eyeglasses. “I’m sorry.”He looks at me and smiles. “No worries. Are you lost?”I shake my head. “No. I don’t think I’m lost. I was looking for my classroom.”“Oh!” Then he grabbed my schedule in my hand and began to read it.“We are block mates. I can show you our classroom if you don’t mind.” He kindly offers.“I don’t mind.”That is the start of our friendship. Even though he has eyeglasses, you will never mistake him as a nerd. He was famous not just in our class but in the whole university. Aside from being handsome, he was smart-which explains the eyeglasses, he has a good sense of humor and is popular with girls.He was
