Fia's POV

I just walk up and found my sister walking back and forth in front of Renz's office in the house.

"Sis?" I gained her attention and she pulled me at the same place she was standing earlier.

"He's been inside that room for days now, he did got out but just to eat. And I bet he also sleeps in there, right? Why is he so affected by that Kristine?" Zia asked my twin fuming with madness. I laughed a bit.

"Sis, natural 'yon, because he likes her."

"Yeah, but he has a life. He has a wife," she said pointing at me. I laughed again.

"Zia, why don't you talk to him?"

"E kung ikaw kaya?" Balik na sabi niya

"No! Ikaw na, kuya mo 'yan." Suhestyon ko

"No! Ikaw na, asawa mo yan."

"Pero mas close kayo," I battled.

"Pero ikaw hindi ka natatakot sa kanya."

"Mas nakikinig siya sa iyo," sabi ko at pinanlakihan siya ng mata.

"Mas—" Naputol ang pagsagot ni Zia nang biglang dumating si Lhester.

"Why don't we do this instead?" He asked and kicked the door open. Renz looked at us surprised sitting on his chair.

"Hmm. May..sasabihin daw si Fia sa'yo kuya!! Sige bye!" Tulak ni Zia sa akin papasok saka hinila si Lhester. Fck! Those idiots!

"What?" Renz asked coldly.I looked at him, he looks wasted.

"Hmm, how are you?" I asked sitting on the other chair.

"You knew all about these don't you?" He asked back glaring at me

"What are you talking about?" I asked innocently

"You knew about Kristine's true identity, but you didn't even give me a hint!" He yelled a bit. That's why I smiled slightly.

"You never asked."

"I never asked? Damn, Fia! You should at least make me realize that I'm making a fool out of myself!" Napatayo na siya. I eyed him and smirked.

"Why would I do that? That would make your suffering less hurtful."

"Wha--what?" He asked confuse.

I sighed and crossed my arms on my chest. "We had a deal Renz. As long as you are my husband, I promised to make your life a living hell. And I did. Because you won't sign the god darn annulment papers. Kung gusto mong tigilan na kita, pirmahan mo lang ang mga papeles at tapos!"

Napabuntong hininga naman siya at umupong ulit.

"I can't do that." He stated looking at me.

"Why?"

"Because I like you already, Fia. And I want you to stay as my wife."

I laughed and stood up. "Bahala ka, kung 'yan ang gusto mo. Sige 'wag mong pirmahan ang annulment, pero asahan mong 'di lang pamamahiya ang kaya kong gawin sa'yo."

Renz's POV

I knew that Fia's words aren't empty threat, but just like what I said. I want her to stay as my wife. And there's only one way of making her stop her childish game, which is to make her like me.

After days of staying in my office and analyzing my feelings for Fia, I decided to go out. And I found Lhester and Zia in the living room.

"What are you still doing here? Akala ko lumipat na kayo sa hotel?" I asked

"Matagal tagal pa kasi ang pagre-renovate no'ng bahay, saka nakakabagot sa hotel, kaya gumala muna kami." Sagot ni Zia

"Sus, 'wag kang maniwala kay Zia. Sinadya ka niya, kasi nag-aalala sa'yo." Biglang nangasar naman si Lhester sa asawa, kaya sinamaan siya ng tingin ni Zia. Pero ngumiti nang bumaling muli sa akin.

"Kuya, are you okay now?" Zia asked worried. Kaya tumango na lang ako, pero nagtanong siyang muli.

"It's not that I'm eavesdropping earlier, but it's just--- I heard about the annulment. " She said lowering her head. Nginitian ko na lang siya.

"Don't worry about that. Dad will never allow me to sign those."

"Yeah, and you won't allow yourself to sign those. Am I right Renz?" Sabat ni Lhester

I looked at him, what does he know?

"You like her already, I can tell. I'm also a guy. He said and I saw Zia's face lit up.

Pero nabawi ang ngiti ko nang makitang dumating si Fia kasama na naman niya si Zach. And she smiled while he opened the car door for her.

I just sighed on the sight. Way to go, Renz! Ngayon pa lang, talo ka na! Ha! Tsk!

Napapitlag na lang ako nang tapikin ako ni Lhester at may binulong. "Don't show her you like her."

"'Huh?" I asked, but Fia and Zach entered the house already.

"SIS!" Biglang yakap ni Zia sa kapatid

"I have good news!" She squealed.

She pulled Fia and Zach and place them beside me.

"Babe," she smiled to Lhester and Lhester nodded.

"Guys, I'm pregnant!" She announced. I smiled quickly hearing it. She looked really happy too.

"WOW! Congrats, Sis!" Yumakap si Fia.

"So, how many months already?" I asked

"I'm just two weeks in the way. " She smiled and then Lhester wrapped her arms around Zia's tummy. They both look so happy and contented. I stopped smiling when Zia started to teased Fia.

"Aren't you jealous, sis?"

"Well, kind of." Fia pouted but instead looking at me, she looked at Zach. One point goes to Zach again. Ha! I want to punch him already, tsk!

"I think you better tell papa about the news Zia." Pag-iiba ko na lang sa usapan, baka kasi ano pang magawa ko.

"Yeah! Sige aalis na muna kami ha! Bye, everyone!" She giggled and left with Lhester. Napakaway na lang ako sa papaalis na mag-asawa, naiingit rin ako. Lalo pa't ang taong gusto ko ay sa iba rin ngayon may gusto.
