After 3 years from another country David Johnson Del Ruiz decided to come back home because of his dying grandma. It was all over the media that the only heir of Del Ruiz Corporation came back after 3 years.
David Johnson or DJ is surprised that his so called wife didn't come to the airport to fetch him. If he remembered correctly this wife of him is head over heels if it comes to him. Rea, his so called wife is the reason why he left his country and is the reason for all the tragic incident that happened to his beloved Fei. He hated Rea from head to toe and didn't even bother to look any update about her this 3 years. " I don't care about her anyway." in DJ's mind . He is inside of his car and is going to the hospital where his grandma is staying.
DJ entered the room and his jaw tightened as he saw the woman beside his grandma. Of course it is her, Rea. She is feeding his grandma some sort of herbal soup that filled the room with good smell. DJ forcefully smiled and kissed his grandma's forehead as he sit beside her. Rea stopped feeding grandma and put the bowl in the table.
Rea silently move her feet and is going to the door to exit but grandma speaks. " Why don't you stay here beside me and let's talk , I have something to say to the both of you..." she spoke gentle as the first time she met her. Rea slowly sit on the other side of the bed opposite to DJ.
Madam Del Ruiz deeply sighed and smiled. " I am too old for this generation. And the thing that I only want is to see my great-grandchildren faces. The both of you are the only people who can grant me my wish before I will leave this world. I will not ask for more...." she said with a soft gentle voice. Rea didn't answer that leave DJ a little surprised. He knew Rea wouldn't let this opportunity to say "yes! of course!" and be like a little innocent kid with a high pitch voice that he hated the most. " Maybe it's true that people change." DJ thought.
After closing the door Madam Del Ruiz, Rea's face straightened and came to being emotionless. She didn't said any single word to her so called husband and is going to the elevator. The same for DJ who literally hates her. While inside the elevator she pressed for the P stands for the Parking. While he was lost in his thought.
" This woman was the reason why Fei died,, but why wasn't she guilty at all? She used to be clingy and annoyingly chatter box, but why is she cold to me now? Did she finally realized that I will not love her? " DJ's thought. " So it is you .... 'panda face'..." Rea's thought. The elevator opened and no one spoke .
After a week Madam Del Ruiz decided to be transferred to her grandchildren's house. Of course to be taken care by Rea, whom she finds kind. The madam didn't knew that the house was not used by DJ. He was staying in one of their hotels privately right after they are married 3 years ago. DJ thought that it was Rea, of course, the cunning woman who convinced his grandma about this sudden decision. His jaw tightened as he sipped a wine from his glass.
DJ has no choice but to come back to the couple house after his grandma called him about her sudden decission. With no maids he straightly walk to the masters bedroom late at night. There she is , sleeping under the moonlight gaze. The ac is closed and the big window screen opened as the wind freely come and let the curtain fly. She is in her night dress gown and the blanket is under her feet. She is like a goddess with no name with her bare face and no makeup. DJ silently hold her hands that is beside her head and start to kiss her neck.
Rea opened her eyes because she felt the lips of someone kissing her neck. From the smell of alchol coming from his breath , she knew it is DJ. They told her he didn't even want to touch his wife even he is drunk but what is he doing right now? . Rea felt the danger so she get the vase near on the top of the table beside the bed. She smashed it on the back of his head that he collapsed. Lucky for her it didn't bleed.
DJ remembered he wanted to confronted his wife that is why he came home and saw Rea under the moonlight, after that he was blacked out and didn't remember anything. The back of his head is hurting but his anger rise up when he remembered Rea and his grandma. While he is on the shower, a knocking sound can be heard and when he said enter, the maid open the door. " Maam Rea said breakfast is ready." her sweet voice can be heard. " Okay." DJ replied coldly. He remembered last night that there were no signs of maid in the house. Oh well he must have been really drunk.
There she is , his so called wife. With her pale face and cold emotion. Her eyes contains no sadness, no guilt, no happiness , it is empty under the sunlight. DJ seated opposite from Rea who is sipping her milk. " You didn't wear you red lipstick today? " a mocking question of DJ while the maid is giving him a breakfast. "I just heard the news this morning about Madam Del Ruiz. I suggest for you to move in or else..." Rea coldly talking but she stopped when DJ punch the table. Blog!!! " Suggest? Ah I see ! Just as I thought this will happen! You cunning woman. Yes I will move in and I will show you just how evil I am that you!!... You will be the one to stay out of my life!!" he angrily shouted. He didn't even finish his breakfast and he already wants to leave. " Just what kind of woman are you ?? That he felt disgusted?? ..." Rea speaks to herself.
After 3 days of preparation Madam Del Ruiz finally get what she wanted. She is now in her grandchildren's house with her nurses. After 3 years it is still new as ever and everything are clear as new.
DJ is with his friends Lukas and Vineto. " Woah. Staying in abroad makes you more popular man!" Lukas hug DJ. " Late again Lukas? " Vineto commented. " Well you know I am a family man now so my wifey first before anything else." Lukas proud voice can be feel. Vineto eyes widened in disbelief. " I cannot believe that the player Lukas just said that. Who are you really? " DJ laughingly ask. " But seriously man. I didn't believe it also at first. I am afraid of commitment, I am afraid I might hurt her so I avoided her. But destiny wins and we met again. The rest is history. " Lukas seriously replied. " You're lucky man..." DJ answered while the image of Fei appeared on his mind. His jaw tightened while he remembered her.
This will be the year before graduation for DJ . Fei is second year college and is new in the city. She is pretty and witty that she became popular and DJ being the only successor of Del Ruiz Corporation is a nerd. He didn't join any kind of sport because he finds it useless, he cannot use in business. He is just the quiet one and wears thick glasses. DJ is the one who follows rules and Fei is not. She is not that smart, but she is the leader of cheering squad for basketball. She has the warm smile for everyone.
It is dinner, Madam and Rea are waiting for DJ who just came late. They have their dinner silently. " As a wife you should take care of your husband. Do not let the maid take care of him specially that he is drunk..." Madam speaks after eating. " Yes grandma. " is the only anwser of Rea.
Rea and DJ are in their room and as ordered by Madam Del Ruiz she didn't ask any of the maid to touch her husband. DJ is not that drunk this time unlike the last time. He doesn't want to do anything and think anything. He is just upset about everything but he cannot do anything because he loves his grandma so much. Let her do what she wants is what he is thinking right now. DJ is tipsy this time and he accidentally threw some wine in his clothes that is why he smelled like one.
DJ throw his self on the bed and Rea sighed. She stare of the big body of DJ in the bed. She silently sit beside DJ and started to remove the upper button of his polo sleeve with a cold emotion. "Fei..." he murmured. He is now ***** in the upper part of his body. However Rea didn't even blink an eye. She get a tshirt in the drawer and gently put on his head first. She needs to let him in sitting position for him to wear so she pull him gently by sitting in his lap and hug him while pulling forward to her so it looks like he is hugging her, his hands are at the top of her shoulders. She manage to do it fast but little did she know that DJ almost didn't breathed. This is the first time that his body and her body have that close physical contact, she smells nice. " Is she really this innocent ? Why am I expecting more?" DJ thought. After changing his clothes , Rea decided to sleep on the big sofa that facing their bed.
The sun hits Rea's face on top of the king size bed. She was a little puzzled how she got in the bed, of course it was her so called husband doing. She is really confused how DJ treated her cold last night then the next day he will be this sweet. " Rea is lucky to have you as a husband 'panda face'..." she thought.
It is early and everybody are not awake yet incuding the maids. DJ being in abroad for 3 years didn't yet adjust in his own country timing. He wakes up and saw this little innocent woman sleeping on the big sofa. He is supposed to walk towards the shower and passed through her but he stopped infront pf her. " Beauty can be deceitful, David Johnson.... how can this beautiful creature in front of me can do all the tragic incidents that happened to Fei...?" he even questioned his self now. DJ gently put his arms under Rea's little body and put on top of their bed before going to shower. " It will be a problem if grandma will see her in the sofa." DJ talked to himself as if giving an excuse to his action.
Rea is busy on her small garden when a visitor came. It is her mother, Rea's mother, Mrs. Carpio. They went to the master's bedroom and closed the door to make sure no one hears what they are talking about. " You are wrong. I thought you said he will not live here. " Rea stated. " I miscalculated it. I did not expect that Madam Del Ruiz will insist on having a great grandchild and David will return." Mrs. Carpio hissed. " These things are not in the contract Mrs. Carpio. From the first place , I do not care about these matter, I hate surprises." Rea's cold emotion alerted Mrs. Carpio. " Look , I will pay more... I can even let your papa have a medication in Abroad. Trust me he can be cured... And just think about 'her' .... she has also suffered ..." Mrs. Carpio's eyes are filled with tears.
" Why would I even care about her when from the first place she had chosen this. She knew he didn't love her. She knew he will not look at her, but why would she even enter a marriage with this guy? Is it because of money ? Is it because of Mrs. Carpio, her mother? .... Is it really possible she has fallen in love? " Rea thought while not being affected by Mrs. Carpio's teary face.
" I am Roa Dominguez, not long ago when I am a stranger in everyones life. They have their own lives while I am living happily in my innocent world far from them. I am a tourist guide in a valley where it is not that popular. We are only a thousand plus population in that area and most of the population are seniors. Why? Their children will work in the city and chosed to have a family there , much practical for someone who have a family. So I am one of the 2% at my age who have chosen to stay in the village to be with my sick papa. Not long ago when we found out about his cancer. "
" DJ are you listening to me ? " Julie his assistant secretary is reminding him about his meeting to Mr. Derick Louise, but DJ seems to be in a deep thought not knowing he is thinking about his little wife at home. " Julie is it possible that a person's personality will change after a few years ? " DJ is confused. Julie rolled her eyes as if his boss is crazy and shakes her head lightly.
Caroline received pictures from an unknown number and as popular paparazzi who want to expose the dirty deeds of the business world is her expertise. She smiled and started to type as if being possessed by the devil himself.
Her lips pressed against his lips together with her body under the moonlight. He can see her, her small face, her heart shape lips and her glowing innocent eyes. He wants to devour her, he wants to conquer her, but she stands up and turn around him. She walks to the dark corner of the room, and he wants to stop her, but his body won't follow then a pair of arms embraced him from his back. It is a familiar feeling, of course he knew this hands, it belongs to Fei.
That night DJ didn't go home because of some important documents that he needed to finish, and he fell asleep resulting to his nightmare. From his office he can see the moon as if he can reach it. It looks near but logically speaking it is far. His office is on the top of the building but yet he cannot reach it. DJ is a big fan of the moon. When he sees one he finds it comforting, he even had this painting of the big round moon in one of the corner of his office. "I should go home..." he thought.
DJ went to Madam Del Ruiz room the moment he arrived. Unexpectedly his grandma is awake. " Your grandpa is the same when he was the same age as you. A busy businessman but he managed to have a child after two years of marriage. " Madam Del Ruiz started to give his grandson a sermon. " I will work hard for the company." DJ answered. " They are waiting for you to fall, and then they will stab you until you cannot fight back. It is not because of the company that I wanted you to have a child, but I wanted you to have someone you can be proud of. Someone you can give half of your burden like your grandpa to your father. " Madam Del Ruiz. DJ didn't answer and forcefully smiled. He kissed his grandmother forehead" Goodnight grandma..."
Like yesterday DJ found Rea in the sofa sleeping. He sighed and walk to the shower.
DJ's jawline tightened as he read the newspaper. He is having breakfast together with Madam Del Ruiz and Rea. Rea opened her phone and received a message from Mrs. Carpio saying" I will help you this time. The rest are yours... " Rea is puzzled. She saw the headline in the newspaper that DJ is reading. 'SECRET LOVER OR INFERTILITY OF ONE OF OUR FAVORITE COUPLE?? ' It is a blind item and pictures of a woman with the blurred photo of a man. Of course Rea knows who the man is. The photos are the same as the one that Mrs. Carpio had that she claimed from her daughter's phone.
The phone of DJ and Rea started ringing endlessly. " The media from different station wants to talk with you." Julie sounds exhausted from the other line. " Julie cancel my appointment with Mr.Louise." he said" But sir that is very important?" she reminded. " Do you think he will talk to me after this mess? " DJ jaw tightened. Julie sighed" Okay sir."
Rea didn't answer her phone as if the whole situation didn't bother her and sip her coffee. Her expression still is cold but she can feel DJ looking at her. " I cancelled all my appointment today for my wife. I think we need to go out once in a while as a sorry for always being busy from the moment I came back from abroad." DJ is directly looking at Rea. " Why of course! There is this popular beach for a couple, you may don't know about it. They say it's a trend you can go there!" Madam Del Ruiz excitedly recommended.
It takes two hours to go to the popular beach and Rea didn't bother to talk with DJ. Madam Del Ruiz didn't send the driver with them for their privacy.
DJ tightened his grip on the steering wheel and the car speed up. He is upset and wants to threatened Rea, but she didn't faze. " It is you isn't it ?! I thought you have change, I can see that you're not.... she is in the coma but you still manage to destroy her name! You unforgivable woman! " His jaw tightened because of anger. " You wants to destroy me ? If I will be dead you cannot get any of my affection. Let us die together..." he gently said while smiling.
Rea closed her eyes and her one eyebrow lift up. " Stupid man. If you die how can you take revenge to me?! If we die how can you give justice for the woman whom you acknowlegde that you love?! If I die will that be enough?! Live and get revenge you stupid brat!" she shouted. She closed her eyes because she expect the car to clash but it didn't happen.
" We are here..." DJ gentle voice is heard by Rea and she slowly opened her eyed. They are beside a big stone and cliff, she can see the beach down but it is full of people. " We can see the ocean and sunset from here. I don't want to be in a crowded place so this is enough for me. This place change so much but this rock is still here. " DJ remembered Fei and his jaw tightened. " I will go down to the beach. You can wait me here in the car if you want and besides I don't want to be with someone who is moody, it affects my mood. " Rea get her snacks in the back of the car and walk towards the beach. DJ watch her figure as she walks far from him. He didn't expect to hear those words from her. He hates her more, he hates her guts, he hates her love and hates everything about her. Three years ago she annoys him but now he 'hates' her.
" I am not afraid of death but I am afraid to lost someone I love. I am afraid someone will die because of me. Panda face cannot die in front of me but he can die somewhere far from me if he really wants it. Oh crap I forgot he is a proffessional racer! Well... he will not notice, will he ? Stupid of me! " Rea thought while applying sunscreen to her face.
