I’m Just His Wife

“Sleep, Rigella …” someone whispered in my ear and I was completely swallowed by drowsiness …

The next day I was surprised when Ivan allowed me to go out for a walk with Ice but I just needed bodyguards. Honestly, I really noticed that he was OA. He even reminded me not to talk to strangers. What am I, child? Psh.

Ice and I were now at a mall and shopping for Ice”s likes. If maybe, I was just myself, I ran away and just sent the annulment to Ivan. But no, Ice was with me with ten bodyguards. My God, I have defeated the president of the Philippines. Can I escape it?

After shopping for toys, we went to the bookstore. The bodyguards were carrying our belongings. People were already looking at us e. Jusko.

I told them to just wait for us outside the bookstore because they might just be crowded there. When they sat down, Ice and I entered.

My son dragged me to educational books and I just told him to pick up everything he wanted. Ivan gave me five credit cards. Sometimes I think, how rich was he? was he really very good at business and very rich?

I took a cart and Ice put in it the ones about History, Physics, Algebra, Trigonometry and so on. Jusko, my son was only in grade one but I can’t deny that he was smart. He actually excelled in everything so he was consistently top one.

We sold two carts full of books. The one, in academics while the other was Detective Conan series, One Piece, and other manga. Can he read it all?

Well, it’s kinda my fault too. I always made him read books when he was three years old so maybe this was what happened. But, should I take this as a good sign? Because in our family, whoever was smart and knows, he was the one who will be trained for the company. The guy who can’t do what he wants anymore. As far as I know, that’s what happened to Ivan especially since he owns two large corporations.

We already paid at the counter through a credit card. Just one swipe we were paid and the books were given to us. I was swallowed because of more than ten plastic ata.

But before I could get the plastic bags someone had already taken that. One man. He easily lifted the ten plastics. He was as tall as Ivan but his body was bigger.

“Wait-” I was about to take the plastic when he took them away from us. I saw Ice holding the hem of my dress.

“A pregnant woman like you should not carry heavy things, Miss. And also, you must not wear fitted shirts or dresses, your stomach will be pinched.” Said the guy.

I frowned and looked at what I was wearing. I’m wearing a pink fitted floral dress.

“Who were you?” I will ask.

“I’m Creed Agoncillo, Mrs. De Leon. And if you’re asking why I know that pregnancy of yours, simple. Because I’m an OB doctor and … I have connections. WE have connections …” She said smiling.

Creed Agoncillo? Wait … my eyes widened when I realized who he was. “You’re … you’re Ivan’s friend?” I was shocked by the question.

“Uhh, I think we should continue this talk outside this bookstore? We’re getting much attention here.” He said so I turned around. Most of the people were looking at us. “… and also, this plastic bags were heavy. Damn, let’s give this to your bodyguards.” was he overweight? Why doesn’t seem obvious.

I nodded and we walked out of the bookstore. When we got out Creed handed the bodyguards our purchases and they greeted him.

“Boss Creed.” they said at once and bowed.

Creed just hugged them and Ice turned to us. Ice still clung to the hem of my dress as if she was embarrassed.

“Woah! It’s really the strength of De Leon’s blood ah! He looks just like your son. That animal was really fierce in bed.” He knelt down so that he and Ice were equal.

It was as if I blushed at what he said. Jusko, doesn’t he have this man?

“Hey, young man. Don’t be shy. Do you know that that makes you gay? What a waste of your race, go ahead.” Smiling Creed said to Ice.

I was just shaken. Jusko, this man’s mouth doesn’t have a filter.

“was that true?” Ice asked so my eyes widened. Why, did my son believe ?!

“Yes! Handsome people like us shouldn’t be shy. We have the looks and anything so you shouldn’t be shy.” Confident says Creed.

Ice sighed. “I think, you have too much confidence, Mr. Whoever-you-were. But let me tell this to you, being shy was not the basis for you to be a real man. Yes, you can be confident but not as always. It should be in place. Yes, I’m shy but my confidence was in place. Like at school, I am confident because I can do anything that my classmates don’t but I’m not that boastful. The looks you’re talking about “Yes, you have that. But just because I’m handsome and shy doesn’t mean I’ll be gay.”

We were just stunned by what Ice said. For the first time, I heard him speak at length and in Tagalog. Also, he looks old when he speaks. Gosh!

When I recovered I sighed. When you oppose Ice, he will be talkative. Now, I know.

I heard Creed’s applause so I frowned at him. “Bravo! You’re the son of that stupid De Leon. You’re exactly the same. That animal’s blood was really strong. How did you make it Ice, Rigella? Try for me to inherit what will be. my child.”

My eyes widened and I swallowed. What was this Creed!

“Stop talking nonsense, Mr. Whoever-you-were. Mom, I’m hungry.” Said Ice.

“Hey, call me Tito Creed, Ice. I’m your father’s best friend.” Creed said and stood up.

“Really? I thought you’re just his apprentice or something. You don’t really look like his best friend.” Ice’s blocker.

“Woah! Do I really look like his apprentice? I’m more handsome than your father, young man.”

“You actually look like a monkey, Tito Creed.”

“What the hell!”

“Don’t curse Tito-”

“Hey, hey. Stop that! Let’s just eat.” I stop them. Jusko.

The two fell silent. Good.

“It’s wrong to stress your Mom, Ice. She has your baby brother or baby sister in her tummy.” I heard Creed whisper to Ice.

“I have a baby sister?” Ice asked curiously.

“Yes, young man. So, we should behave. Maybe something else will happen to your Mom and we’ll talk to your Dad.”

“Okay, Tito Creed.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

I stopped walking for a moment because of what they were talking about. I turned to them both and raised an eyebrow at Creed.

“How did you know that I’m pregnant?” I will ask.

Creed shook his head. “Uhm, because your OB was my girlfriend. She told me about you and … yeah, I found out. So, I also told Ivan about it. If you just saw the look on his face. It was priceless.” He laughed and said as if someone remembered.

I was just shaken. He already know. They were right, there was no secret that was not revealed.

After we ate I said goodbye to cr first. Creed brought three bodyguards with me because he was the one to guard Ice.
