Chapter 183 My Little Wife
183 My Little Wife
Tony woke up because of his phone that kept ringing. He reach for it and answer it.
"You are still sleeping." His boss said. Tony glance at the clock. It's already eight-thirty in the morning. "I will stay in the house to accompany my wife. You are appointed as a CEO. Everything is settled and the schedule as well. You have an hour before the meeting stars."
"Shit!" He groan and hang up immediately. He shook her. "Nica, baby, we are late."
She moan and brushes him off.
"I don't want to work." She said lazily.
"Something happened?"
"Don't ask." So he didn't.
"Okay." He kiss her forehead. She sat up lazily.
"Take a shower." She said. Tony did take a shower and he got out and smell something delicious. His stomach complains and Veronica gave him warm water. He drank it and he scoop her bare ass under her negligee. She smack his hand away. "You are late."
"I still have few moments." He grin. He pull her up to the counter table and spread her legs. Veronica was in euphoria as she accept him and make love to her quick, fast and hard. Tony couldn't get enough of her. She was a little jelly. "I'm going to dress up now." He kiss her cheek.
Veronica prepare his breakfast and put it in a thermal bag. She put it in a backpack with his other stuffs that he needed. She then fix his tie and help him put on his jacket. She gave him her bike's key.
"There's traffic so better use this." She said. Tony smile. Feeling like he's the luckiest husband in the world.
"I'll be home soon, my little wife." He kiss her lips.
"Okay." She said as she wave him off.
Tony was excited on going to work and leaving the work early. Knowing that his Veronica is just home waiting for him.
Veronica clean up the kitchen and fold the bed neatly. She then prepare her bathtub with warm water as she stay there for an hour. Then she dress up and sat on her sofa turning on the television. Waiting for someone. So just in an hour, there's a knock on the door.
As she expected it was Francisco with Sylvia and few body guards. She look surprise—for an act too natural for her. He has flowers and fruits and whatever compensation that he could give. Even shopping bags. Dior. She hate Dior, Sabrina too.
"What are you doing here?"
"You didn't come to work."
"I'm going to resign." She didn't let them in at first.
"It's too hot outside. Are you not going to offer us something to drink?" Sylvia asked. She open the door wide and Francisco and Sylvia enter as two body guards waited outside and two secure the door.
She offer them the comfortable sofa and she prepare a refreshment for them. Lemonade with honey. She put the pitcher and two glasses of lemonade in front of them. She sat down on the single sofa.
"These are for you." Francisco said as he pass the Dior bags for her. She only took it and then put it on the floor.
"Thank you. But I think my wardrobe is full with enough clothes. Tony buy me new clothes every week." Tony did. He made sure that she look beautiful always with new clothes.
Francisco didn't say anything at all.
"If you come here to convince me to train and take over whatever you said is for me, I am not interested. I don't know what happened back then why I ran off, but I am now contented with my life."
"You are living here in a small unit. It's dangerous here. What if there's an earthquake?" Francisco said like a real father would.
"That's not my problem now. Tony can buy a house for us."
"And if he betrays you?" Francisco asked. "Men are still human. They can't control themselves over something lavishing." She understood what he meant. Veronica had thought for a while. "When will the wedding be? I shouldn't missed it, right? Your grandpa is worried about you."
Veronica look outside the window. Like she was in a deep thought. She act naturally though it was all scripted.
"Let me resign." She said. "I'll sort things out by myself."
"Visit your grandpa, then. How about you bring him somewhere to eat? He's been lonely. I am sure that Tony would be please to meet him. Have you told him about who you are?"
Veronica shook her head like it's what worried her. Francisco was pleased with every emotions that she's showing. But he never knew it was all an act. Sylvia was quiet and observe Veronica. She couldn't find any flaws. Veronica is a natural liar and an actress. She just wished that Veronica is something that would disregard Francisco soon.
"Okay." She mutter. "I'll tell Tony to reserve a restaurant for Grandpa." She mutter.
"Then, it is settled. Let me know whenever you are ready to be trained. I am sure that you are a fast learner." He stood and she remain on her seat staring at nowhere. Francisco kisses her top head like every father would do.
Veronica flinches but she never acted like it. She hold herself until they left. She clenches her first and hated his touch. She was young when she saw Francisco do the same thing to her mother whenever she got upset over something and he would betray her over and over again.
She went back to bed and pull Tony's pillow as she shove her face there just to comfort herself.

Aria pick up the crying Ana from the crib and patted her gently. She was worried about her babies. Their fever keep coming back so she call Ethan from the office.
"Don't worry, Ana, Kiel, daddy's coming."
It didn't take long when Ethan came and the maid settled the bags for the twins. Ethan kisses Aria and his eyes soften to the twins in Aria's arms. Aria was petite and the twins are growing big and healthy so their weight increases as well. He took Kiel and shush him.
"Ethan, their temperature is higher than before." Aria said worried sick.
"I know, baby. Let's go. They are going to be fine." He help Aria to cover up Ana into a warm and fluffy coat and he did the same with Ezekiel.
Their driver drove to the hospital and he requested a private VIP room. Soon, the doctor came and check on them. Ethan never see Aria this worried since their twins got sick. She look pale and looks like she's going to get sick next. Haven't he taken care of them well? What a bad husband and father he was.
Soon, the twins are sleeping with dextrose on their thighs. Aria stood to get some water. Ethan has been watching her and after she takes three steps, her world turns and get dark. She almost fall down but he caught her and wrapped her around his arms.
"Baby?" He calls and he carried her to the sofa and ring the doctor. "Aria…" Ethan doesn't know what to do now.
