SOLD TO THE MAFIA | SAILUBPON

CHAPTER 28

The morning sun peeked through the curtains, casting a soft, golden light over the bedroom.

Sailub stirred slightly, his arm wrapped around Pon as he lay beside him, still lost in the comfort of sleep. Pon's head rested against his chest, the steady rise and fall of his breath calming the chaos of Sailub's mind.

The twins were peacefully asleep in their crib, their soft coos and giggles from earlier still lingering in the quiet house.

Sailub smiled softly as he watched Pon sleep, his face calm and relaxed. After everything they'd been through the stress, the challenges, the pain it felt surreal to have moments like this. These fleeting seconds of peace, of normalcy.

In a world where chaos seemed like a constant companion, these moments with Pon and their children were his anchor. His family, his everything.

"Pon..." Sailub whispered, brushing a lock of hair from Pon's forehead, his voice soft so as not to disturb him. "Time to wake up, sleepyhead."

Pon stirred, his eyelids fluttering as he groggily blinked, trying to adjust to the light. He yawned, stretching out a little before turning to face Sailub, his face breaking into a lazy smile.

"Morning..." he mumbled, his voice still heavy with sleep. He blinked a few more times before fully waking up. "Did I sleep too long?"

Sailub chuckled, his heart swelling at the sight of Pon's drowsy expression. "No, you're fine. You deserve all the rest you can get."

Pon stretched again, his body sore from the constant changes in his pregnancy, but a sense of contentment settled over him as he looked at Sailub. "How are the twins?"

"They're still sleeping," Sailub said, sitting up a little. "But you should rest. You've been through a lot recently."

Pon smiled, nodding as he settled back into the bed. "I just feel so lucky to have you, Sai. I don't think I ever truly realized how much I needed you... until I met you."

Sailub's chest tightened, the words hitting him more deeply than he expected. He had always known how much he loved Pon, but hearing those words from him, hearing the sincerity, made his heart swell with emotion. "You're everything to me, Pon. You've made my life so much better."

Pon reached for Sailub's hand, intertwining their fingers. There was no need for grand gestures or words at that moment. The silence between them was comfortable, secure.

And Sailub knew in his heart that everything he had worked for, everything he had built, had been for moments just like this. Moments where he could hold Pon and feel the world around them disappear.

Later that day, after a quiet breakfast together, Sailub found himself walking around the house, preparing for something he'd been planning for a while now. It was a secret surprise for Pon.

something he had been working on in the background for weeks. He had arranged for everything to come together, for the perfect moment to unfold, and he couldn't wait for Pon to see it.

It was just one of the many ways he could show Pon how much he meant to him.

As the day wore on, Sailub kept busy making phone calls, coordinating things with his trusted associates, arranging a private, intimate setting.

He had it all planned out. But despite the meticulous preparations, the only thing on his mind was Pon. He couldn't wait to see the look on Pon's face when he revealed what he had been working on.

Pon, on the other hand, was blissfully unaware of Sailub's plans. He spent the day playing with the twins, cooing at them and watching them giggle, as Sailub prepared everything in the background.

There was a sense of calm in their routine, a sense of normalcy that they hadn't had in a while. Pon was enjoying being a mother, enjoying the life they were building together, and savoring these peaceful moments before life inevitably got more complicated.

Sailub couldn't help but smile as he watched Pon interact with their children. He had never expected this kind of life. When he had first met Pon, he had been a different man cold, calculating, wrapped up in his own world of power and mafia dealings.

But Pon had changed him. Made him softer, more caring, and more patient than he had ever thought possible. Pon had brought out the best in him, and Sailub knew he would do anything to make him happy.

As the day came to a close, Sailub took a deep breath, stepping outside to make sure the last of the preparations were in place. The surprise he had planned was almost ready.

All that was left was to wait for the right moment. He would make this special for Pon no matter what.

Pon, still blissfully unaware, spent the evening enjoying a quiet dinner with Sailub. The twins were fed and tucked into their crib, and the two of them sat at the table, sharing a meal, talking about the simple things in life. It was a peaceful moment, the kind Sailub had always dreamed of.

But his mind was elsewhere, already thinking ahead to what was coming.

As the night wore on, Sailub excused himself, telling Pon he had to take care of a few last things.

Pon gave him a curious look, but Sailub simply smiled and told him it was a surprise. Pon couldn't help but smile back, intrigued and excited to see what Sailub had in store for him.

Little did he know, everything was about to change in the most beautiful way.

---

The next day would mark a turning point for them, one that would define their future in ways they hadn't even imagined yet.

And Sailub was determined to make this moment unforgettable for Pon the man who had transformed his life completely.

For now, though, all he could do was wait, savoring the anticipation of the surprise, and the quiet moments that made their life together so special.
