The Billionaire’s Playmate

Rozzean and I decided to keep my pregnancy a secret until after we get married. We also asked Luther, Thes, and Ferline not to tell anyone for now. We wanted to share the news with our families after the wedding and surprise everyone with the fact that we were expecting triplets.

The day we found out we were having three children was unforgettable, mostly because my husband fainted. I was worried about what happened to him, but when he woke up, I could hardly breathe from laughing.

He was so embarrassed. Luther, Ferline, and my best friend Thes were all laughing too. Even I couldn’t help but laugh. I felt sorry for him, so I stopped laughing when he hugged me, burying his head in my neck.

Rozzean kept cursing and saying he was just so happy. He fainted from pure joy upon learning that we were having triplets.

His sibling didn’t let it go. Luther teased him about it all the time. I’m sure they continue to tease him whenever they’re together.

“Beautiful!”

I smiled at my hair stylist when I heard her compliment.

Today is the day! One of the most important days for us-our wedding. Rozzean asked me for the theme, and I chose red velvet. Red, the color of love.

I looked at myself in the mirror, observing my reflection. I stood there, gazing at my wedding gown, satisfied with my makeup, and feeling ready for the day.

While looking at myself in the mirror, I placed my hand on my belly. My babies… Mommy is getting married to Daddy today. Thank you for being healthy. I’m also grateful for holding on tight, my little ones.

I was scared when I found out from Ferline that I was already six weeks pregnant. I am just so thankful that we are fine. My babies are fine because what I went through before leaving Rozzean’s house as Tali was not easy.

After we found out that I was expecting triplets, Rozzean became incredibly caring. Even though I am now at my parents’ house, he visits me regularly to check on me. I’ve told him many times that I am okay and will be okay. Just yesterday, he was here and scolded by his mother because we’re not allowed to see each other anymore, and we’re getting married.

He’s stubborn, but I understand him.

“You can go out now.”

I turned to the one who spoke. She was the one who fixed me up.

“Thank you,” I replied.

When the door opened, Thes walked in. She’s also ready. She looks absolutely stunning in her red velvet gown. She’s my maid of honor.

“Rozzean might be bursting with nerves there, Tangi. Let’s gooo,” Thes said, giving me a big smile.

“As if I wouldn’t make it on time for him,” I replied.

A few seconds later, Mom entered the room. She stopped in front of the door and didn’t come closer to me. When I faced her, I saw tears welling up in her eyes. I approached her and hugged her.

“Mom…”

She caressed my back. I felt the slight shaking of her shoulders. Luckily, waterproof makeup was invented, so even if we cry now, our makeup won’t be a mess.

“My baby… I’m so happy for you, sweetheart. Even though you’re married to Rozzean, make sure to still visit us, okay? Like what you usually do when you were living alone. I’ll be upset if you don’t.”

I nodded at my mother and kissed her on the cheek.

“I will visit you, Mommy, and Dad. Oh, by the way, where’s Daddy?” I asked.

He wasn’t in my room, and my siblings didn’t knock to visit me either. Curious, I looked around my spacious room.

“Oh, they’re waiting, on the stairs. Come on?”

I took Mommy’s hand, and she held it tightly. I know my hands are cold. I’m nervous too! I glanced at Thes, and she followed Mommy and me.

We walked out of the room. When my mother let go of my hand, she gestured for me to stand at the end of the stairs. I went there as she wanted me to. A few moments later, I saw my siblings and Daddy.

I looked up at them.

They looked very handsome in their black tuxedos. They lined up while looking at me below. I saw my brother Griz smiling at me, Daddy too, and even Grand. But Grecion was looking away with a frown, and I noticed his swollen eyes.

Did he cry?

“You can still back out,” Grecion said to me, making me laugh.

These were the ones who kept telling me to get married before. And now that I’m about to get married, it seems like they don’t want it anymore? Especially Grecion! He’s the most annoying among all my siblings!

“You are so beautiful, honey,” my Dad said and blew me a kiss.

“Daddy…” I said.

They all descended and approached me. I didn’t want to cry in front of them, but when I saw my brothers and my father crying, I couldn’t help but cry with them.

“Our little princess found her prince,” Griz said. I couldn’t help but smile at his words. He approached me and hugged me tightly.

“I love you, Tangi. I loves you so much,” he said.

“I love you too, Griz. Thank you…”

He stepped back, and the next one to embrace me was Grand. He kissed my forehead before hugging me tightly, his hand gently rubbing my back.

“We are still going to watch you even if you have your own family. You will forever be our little star, little savior, and our little princess. I love you, Tangi,” he said.

They used to call me their little star when we were kids. They said I brought light to our home. I always made them laugh, especially when Griz was scolded or spanked by Dad for being naughty. I was the one who softened Dad’s heart when I spoke because they knew that when I talked, our father’s anger would subside.

“Thank you, Grand. I love you too…” I said and kissed him on his cheek.

When I looked at my Dad, I opened my arms, and he smiled at me. He walked towards me and hugged me tightly. I felt his kiss on my head.

“My youngest… is getting married.”

This is all because of my father. How I met Rozzean-an amazing and wonderful man. I am fortunate that the two men in my life love me so much.

“Daddy… Thank you for choosing the better man for me. Thank you so much… I love you, my Daddy.”

I heard him sniffle. When he pulled away, I wiped the tears from his cheeks.

“I love you too, Tangi. I love you. I am so happy, sweetheart. I’m incredibly happy for you and Rozzean,” he said and hugged me tight again. As my Dad stepped back, I looked at my brother with the serious expression, Kuya Grecion.

He didn’t come closer to me, so I went to him instead. I hugged him tightly. I felt Grecion hug me back. I heard him sniffle, and I felt the slight shaking of his shoulders.

I patted his back.

“Brother…”

“We used to want you to get married, but now that you’re getting married, it’s like we don’t want it anymore. Our little Tangi will be far away.”

I bit my lower lip at his words. Time really flies; it feels like just yesterday we were all kids, and now we each have our own families.

“Grecion, we could still see each other, come on! Rozzean won’t kidnap me,” I told him. The way he spoke, you’d think we won’t ever see each other again. That might be why he’s crying like this.

When Grecion pulled away, he held my face in his hands.

“Maybe it’s just normal for older brothers. You’re our only sister, and it’s hard for us to be far from you. But if Rozzean hurts you, just tell us. We have an agreement with Dad, and those multiple punches in the offi–”

“Borther!”

I slapped him on the shoulder, and everyone laughed.

“Grecion, Rozzean is scared of Tangi, so he won’t misbehave!” Thes shouted.

“But, Tangi,” he said, holding my hands tightly.

“Married life isn’t easy, but I know you and Rozzean can handle it. I know that he will take care of you. We saw how he endured, how he looked at you from afar while waiting for the time when he could approach you and talk to you. That man… he loves you so much, Tangi.”

Tears fell from my eyes because of what Grecion said.

“Love each other, and if you encounter any problems, just call us, your siblings.”

“Thank you, thank you so much!” I said, patting his back. He hugged me tightly again.

“I love you, Tangi, I love you…”

“Don’t be stubborn, okay? Be a good wife,” he said, and I nodded. There seemed to be meaning behind his words about being a good wife.

When Grecion stepped away from me, I looked at the important men in my life. They were all wiping their tears. I turned to Mommy, Thes, and the wives of my brothers, along with their children.

We are all crying.

“If you encounter any problems, report Rozzean to us immediately. We’ll handle it, we’ll give him a beating,” Grand said.

I laughed again.

I glanced at Daddy and my siblings. They were now smiling at me. When the photographer entered, we lined up for a family photo. My siblings’ eyes were red. It will surely be noticeable in the picture!

“My tough guys are actually crybabies!” Mommy teased.

The wives of my brothers laughed at the comment. Meanwhile, my brothers just grinned.

“Let’s go?” Daddy said, extending his hand.

“Rozzean might get nervous if we’re late.”

I nodded at Daddy and took his arm.

It wasn’t the kind of love I thought would happen, especially for someone like me who never thought about marriage. Because of my decision to pretend to be a maid to find out Rozzean Cyron Valleje’s bad behavior, everything ended up leading to a wedding.

When we arrived at the church, I was left inside the car, and my parents went ahead. When I heard a knock on the car window, I saw Thes. I opened the door, and she entered.

“Tangi, wow, I can’t believe it. It’s really a wedding, so many people!” she exclaimed.

She witnessed how I was hurt because of my relationship with Rozzean. She also gave me a lot of advice on what I should do when Rozzean and I were going through rough times, but I didn’t follow them because of my overwhelming love.

“It’s nerve-wracking, and it feels like we just discussed it recently, and now we’re already getting married,” I replied to her.

I didn’t pay much attention to our wedding. Rozzean took care of everything. He just asked me about the theme I wanted for our wedding. He also inquired about the flowers I wanted for the church and the reception.

“Rozzean is afraid you might run away, but you’re deeply in love!” Thes teased.

Thes held my hands tightly.

“But I think this is normal. But, I’m so happy, Tangi, extremely happy. You’re getting married, and you and Rozzean will have three kids. It’s just… unbelievable.”

She wiped away the tears that suddenly fell from her eyes.

“Thes…”

“Honestly, I just thought, Tangi. You’ll have a family, and you’ll be busy with them. I just thought, during the times when I’m not okay… can I still call you to talk? You know…”

Now it was my turn to cry because of what she said. I hugged Thes and gently stroked her back. I knew what she was going through, and I understood her because I was the one she always called when she felt deep sadness.

“You are always welcome to my new home, Thes. Even in our house with Rozzean. Nothing will change between us, Thes. You’re still my Therese Catalina, my best friend with a foul mouth but is incredibly kind.”

She lightly slapped me, “You’re too much with your foul mouth.”

We both laughed. How can I not be foul-mouthed when she keeps talking about all sorts of things related to intimacy, and she’s still a virgin?

“But, Thes, I am also praying for you. I hope a man comes into your life to take care of you. Even if I’m not by your side because I’m busy with my own family, I feel at ease knowing that there’s someone there to make sure you’re okay. Don’t you have any suitors?” I asked her.

She’s beautiful, sexy, smart, and has many businesses. She was chased by guys when we were in college, but I haven’t met anyone who became her boyfriend.

“Uhh…” she rolled her eyes and looked away from me, “None! Hahaha!”

She forced herself to laugh at the end, so I raised an eyebrow. I was about to say something again, but there was another knock on the car window. I saw Maki. Thes opened the door, and she went out.

“The processional starts. Wherever you go, Therese, the organizer is dizzy looking for you,” Maki told my friend.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

I looked behind me, at the front of the church. The entourage was lined up. The organizer was arranging the queue of people who would walk down the aisle. The children of my siblings were part of the entourage. I found them adorable!

“Mommy…”

When I heard that voice, my gaze returned to the open car door, and I saw Taki.

Oh, gosh! He’s so cute! He’s wearing a black tuxedo with a velvet bow tie!

“Mommy…”

He entered the car and stood beside me.

“Hello, Taki…” I kissed him on the forehead.

He’s our ring bearer. Handsome!

“You are going to walk slowly, okay? Take your time and don’t run,” I told him.

“Yes, Mommy.”

I kissed his cheek again, and when Taki was called, Thes took him and carried him. I stayed inside the car, my hands on my chest. I was nervous! Everyone was already here, and there were so many people.
