The Billionaire's Secret Wife

Unang Kabanata: The Marriage

1 WEEK LATER.

The view is fascinating here in our private island near Hawaii.

My dad wants to celebrate his birthday here because this is the island where she met my mother.

This was a tourist spot years ago but then my dad bought it because he said it has a 'Sentimental Value'

That man is really in love with my mother.
He'll buy the moon for her, he'll do anything to make her happy.

And since mom died. He never dared to date another woman. He always say I looked like mom and he's afraid that if he marries again. My mother will hunt him.

Habang nakatingin ako sa balcony, kitang-kita ko ang mga bisita na paparating sakay sa yate na binili ni Daddy.

Some of them have personal yachts and some of then travelled by their choppers.

We would've celebrated Dad's birthday in Singapore pero ayaw niya na may mga media na kumuha nang litrato sa birthday party niya.

He just hired a personal photographer at binayahan ito nang milyon-milyon.

Binaling ko ang tingin sa malaking salamin sa loob nang kwarto ko.

Everytime I see this red dress, I remembered him. That guys from the shop. Every day I dreamed of him.

Lucky him, he caught my attention.
But I'm also lucky to buy this dress first.

This dress is a form-fitting, floor-length gown made of a luxurious red velvet fabric.

It features a draped, cowl neckline and thin spaghetti straps.

These dress accentuates my curves, creating an elegant and sophisticated silhouette.
Then my overall look is completed with a matching red clutch from Prada and a pearl necklace from Tiffany and Co.

This dress does not look cheap at all.
Cause I wore it of course.

At hindi rin maaring Hindi mamahalin ang mga suot ko.
Daddy's friends and colleagues are owners of multinational corporations, I can't show up looking like a cheap joke.

"Miss Nel... the program is about to start. Please be at the grand stairs at exactly 5 minutes. You're father will be their for his grand entrance with you."

Dining kong sabi nang event coordinator matapos niyang kumatok sa pintuan nang kwarto ko.

"Be right there."
Agad ko namang sagot.

I looked at the mirror once again and smiled to myself.

Damn I'm hot.
I think I'll be Inlove with myself.

MINUTES later pumunta agad ako sa kinaroroonan ni Daddy. This is his special night. Although, it's just so sad to see that I'm the one walking with him in his grand entrance and not my mother.

"Dad..."

I called to him as I held his arms.

"Here's my angel. You look beautiful tonight Nel."

Ngumiti siya sakin.

"I'm beautiful everyday papi..."
Pabiro kong sabi na nagpangiti kay Daddy.

"Mr. Tan, Miss Nel it's time for your entrance."
Dinig kong sabi nang event coordinator.

Inalalayan ko si Daddy papunta sa dalawang malaking pinto. Doon kami dadaan patungo sa grand staircase.

This is a big mansion.
I got lost in here once.

"And please let us all welcome our celebrant for tonight. Mr. Louis Tan and his beautiful daughter, Sheniel Tan."

Pagkatapos i-announce nang speaker iyon ay biglang bumukas ang dalawang malaking pinto sa harap namin ni Daddy.
