I’ll admit that she looks so seductive, but why is she wearing that 

After I wake up in the morning / 

g at the sound of my alarm, I get out of bed to freshen up 

Right as my mind is clear enough, the first person I think about is Vanessa when she came to my duor last night. I keep wondering why she wore that specific nightgowns. It’s not that it matters time. She’s fee to wear whatever she wants. I’m post curious about it 

message notifications go off in only a few seconds and I wonder. 

While I dry my hair, I form on my phone and place it back on the table. Hy mevs what I missed while my phone was off 

Curious, I open my inbox and there are so many messages from a phone number I don’t recognize. But upon reading the first message, it takes everything in me not to hurl my phobe against the wall. It’s Carmella, 

I don’t know 

he’s using someon 

or it’s a phone number she’s never told me about. Whatever the case is, reading her

know she’s biter about all this. I just wish she wouldn’t blame anyone but herself in cause she was the one who lied to me 

After 

atnsing myself down, i dress up and head to Vanessa’s bedroom door. She was mentioned so many times. 

“Who is it?” she asks from inside as soon as I knock on the door

is open the door, I keep reading through Carmella’s messages and it actually hurts me to warn Vanessa about it. 

hen, I raise my head so I can speak, but words escape me as I look at Vanessa’s side profile. Her hair’s in a messy bun, she’s in a white tank op that accentuates the curves of her breasts, paired with some high waist jean shorts that only slightly cover her thighs 

dey,” she says, glancing at me, then facing the mirror again. 

se looks too good to just be home. I hope they’re not going to meet up with Patrick or something 

re you 

and Mia going out?” I ask, stepping inside and closing the door behind me as my gaze lingers on her figure. 

o, she’s spending the day with me here. We might go out later, I don’t know. Oh, I received so many threats from Carmella 

she tells me about the threats and how she’s already blocked the number, I look away from her, clenching my fist at how busty she looks ht now. It doesn’t help that the image of her bare breasts on the night she was drunk flashes in my mind and just like that, my heart begins 

race a little. 

in after I return to my bedroom, it takes a while for my heartbeat to normalize. All this just because of Vanessa? 

er, I hear an engine outside and some cheerful voices, so I watch from my window and Mia’s just arrived. 

hey hold hands and make their way inside, Vanessa’s face brightens up in a way I’ve never seen before. She must be that thrilled to have 

best friend over. 

I 

immediately sends me a text and I know that this is the part where I get to play the loving husband, so I head down to join them in the 

E room. 

ps curve into a fake smile as I get closer and even though I’m focused on Mea, I find myself glancing at Vanessa since they’re sitting next 

ich other 

ven’t seen you since the wedding. Welcome!” I say to her, sitting beside Vanessa and throwing my arm over her shoulder 

nk you.” Mia chuckles. “You have such a lovely home.” 

glad you could finally visit. Please make yourself at home and make any requests you have” 

e, I already told her that,” Vanessa looks up at me as she holds onto my hand hanging on her shoulder. 

Tolayfully shrug: There’s no harm in telling her twoe – 

Even though i don’t mean it, we all burst into laughter, can’t have Vanessa’s best friend leaving 

with the wrong impression 

The small talk only goes on for a few minutes for me until I can’t take it anymore. Being this close to Vanessa has me constantly glancing al her bust and i want it to stop so excuse myself 

At 11 am I stand in front of the mirror, fixing my necktie so I can leave inter- 

project sites 

Something that shouldn’t take me this long, stretches on for a few 

My father and I will be heading over to one of the 

stantly think about Vanessa and what she’s wearing today 

It reminds me of a similar outfit from our honeymoon on that island, when we were still so distant and hostile with each other. 

I’m glad things are different now, and it’s only because i got to see just how compassionate she is with the children, Just like before, I sna believe she’ll make a great mother 

As soon as that comes to mind. I tilt my head in wonder. She showed up last night in the same nightgown she wore on the night I first told her I needed to get her pregnant. What was she trying to say? I remember her being awkward just before she left. Wait, could it be? Just thinking about it makes my eyes widen. 

Wanting to know the truth, I abandon my necktie and head to the elevator, I need to talk to her before I leave for work 

in the living room, Vanessa and Mia are all smiles and chatty even as I approach the two of them. 

“Babe, can I talk to you for a second?” My voice is gentle with a smile. “I’m sorry about this, Mia. I’ll bring her right back.” 

“I don’t mind at all.” Mia smiles back at me. 

As Vanessa gets up, she places her hand in mine and I lead the way in the other direction. Once I have her far from Mia, I let go of her hand 

and sigh heavily. 

“When you came to me last night, were you trying to say what I think you’re trying to say?” 

“Why do you think I came to you dressed like that?” She crosses her arms. 

I chuckle in disbelief. “Did you seriously expect me to just figure it out?” 

“Well, you’ve figured it out now. I’ve been trying to tell you this since the other day.” 

“What? Are you telling me that we could have already done it by now 

if you 

didn’t waste time?” 

She sighs. “just didn’t know how to say it, okay?” 

“You could’ve just sent me a text 

“I tried.” She looks away 

It’s funny to me how someone so bold can’t even tell me something like this. It’s probably because she’s not used to it. 

“How many days do we still have?” i 

“About three days.” 

I’ve been waiting for this for a while now. It’s only because I need to start a family and no other reason. But as I say my next words to her, I can’t help but glance at her from head to toe. 

O 

Chapter 13. 

hope Mia’s not staying over, I don’t want anyone or anything getting in the We’re doing this tonight so you better be available.”
