Its almost midnight when we reach our home. We went straight to our room.
I went first to the bathroom to ready myself to sleep.
I open the window to breath some fresh air.
Many things happened in the past months. I’m not sure though if I’m liking it, especially the change that I am feeling right now.
Before I only wanted to love our business because that’s what I made of.
But things change after I marry him.
Suddenly I started to ask something aside from business. I started to ask for my husband’s love and affection, I started to ask for a normal and loving family.
But reality will slap you real hard.
I faced again the truth, that I am just a business wife.
I quickly wipe my tears when I heard the door from the bathroom.
After a few minutes I felt his warmth as he hug me from the back.
“Penny for your thought wife?” He said sweetly.
I shake my head and tried to give him a smile.
“Nothing.” I just said.
“Are you sure?” He ask me again.
I started to closed my eyes when I felt his kiss on my shoulder.
I just nodded.
His kiss went from my shoulder to my neck, my ears until it reach my lips.
“I love you wife!” He muttered.
He turn me to face him to give me a more passionate kiss.
His kiss is so gentle and passionate.
“I love you” he said between our kisses.
I just deepen our kiss as my response.
I heard him groan.
His groan made me feel more hot, and wanting it more.
He started taking my nighties off.
He went on my tummy and gave it a kiss.
“Baby I will made love with your mom tonight. I will be very careful I promise.” He whispered on my belly.
And then he face me again and gave me kiss.
He carefully lay me in bed and start with our love making.
***
I wake up early after our love making last night.
I just watch him peacefully asleep.
My favorite thing to do every morning is to memorize his face.
This is the guy that I love dearly. The father of my child.
I can’t help myself so I follow my heart and gave him a quick kiss. I used to do this to him. He told me that my child will definitely look like him because I am always craving for him.
When I tease him by telling him that I also craving for Alex, his face will turn to sour which I find it cuter.
I felt him hugging me. But I stop him.
“You’ll crashed the baby.” I reminded him.
He chuckled and then he hug me from the back.
“Good morning wife!” He greeted me while giving me little kisses on my shoulder.
“Morning hon and to your junior as well!” I said teasingly.
“Naughty wife” He said and he tighten his hug.
Oh I love to wake up like this everyday!

We are having our breakfast when Maru got a call from his dad.
“Yes dad?”
His eyes widen and then he smiled.
Based on his reaction, I think he got good news from his dad.
“Okay Dad! We will go there right now.”
“What did dad said?” Excitement is visible in my voice.
“My brother is back!” He happily announced.
I furrowed. “Brother?”
I didn’t know that he has a brother. All my life I thought that Maru is an only child of the Ottave.
“I have an older brother. But he had a fight with dad that’s why he was never mention in any events. My dad is really angry at him that’s why he always said that I am his only child. And I’m just glad that they are okay now.” He explained.
“That’s great news! But is it okay to ask what happen?” I ask curiously.
He pinched my nose. “Of course, your my wife you have the right to know all the things about our family.”
I just smile.
“My big brother is not interested in our family business. As per him he wanted to create his own empire. My big brother is really great in handling business. When we were in high school, he already has his own money. He’s good in stock market, he invested in it because that is where he will get funds for his future empire.”
“At first, dad is happy with what my brother is doing. He really seen him as his heir of his business. But the thing is, my brother told dad that he has no plan to inherit the business.”
“They always argue about that until my dad chase him out if our house.” He continued.
“Why didn’t I met him before?”
“We’re not studying in the same school. And he’s not that sociable. He barely shows his face when we have gathering in the house.”
“What is his name again?” I ask curiously.
He look at me with suspicion. “Why do you want to know his name?”
I bit my lips trying to control myself to smile.
“Nothing. Why? Is it wrong to know the name of my brother-in-law?”
“His name is James Maru Ottave.”
My brow creased. His name sounds familiar.
“Why Mara?”
I shake my head. “Nothing. Its just that his name sound familiar.”
“Maybe because he was your supposed husband.”
I was shocked. “What do you mean?”
He just shrugged. “He was really the one our parents arranged for you if my dad did not chase him out.”
I suddenly become silent. I’m trying on remembering things.
James is already in high school when his dad chase him out. I was only 10 years old when I heard my parents talking about my future husband. How did Maru’s brother became my supposed husband?
“Why are you not saying anything wife?”
“Nothing.”
