(Forbidden Short Stories 2) ❤️ACANTHA RILEY❤️

EPILOGUE

❤️JAIDEN KAI❤️

Riley and Elise are out shopping. We are left in charge of our pretty little angels.

My baby girl's name is Kalene and Avery's is Hadara. They are very pretty and well mannered,

both a mini me of their Moms. Two and a half years old si Hadara, Kalene is three, they are like

little Steffords wife in training. "Daddy what are you doing? Drink your tea now!" my little

drill sergent demanded. "Yes my little darling," I complied.

We are having a little tea party, complete with tutu and pearls. I can't help but laugh

silently at Avery's pink wig. Good thing,  my baby doesn't like me wearing wig, she likes

my soft hair better. "F*ck you," Avery mouthed to me when he saw me laughing.

"Daddy, I saw a make-up tutorial in youtube, will you let me try it on you?" my girl asked

sweetly. "No, shi--, sheesh," bawi ko. No swearing allowed policy kami. Lagot kami

sa mga asawa namin. "All the make ups are with mommy, sweetie."

"Why don't we watch, Dora or the cute little ponies? It sounds like fun," tulong sa

akin ni Avery, looking a little green. I know namumutla na rin ako, make up?

Sh*t, I need a little boy to keep my sanity, I love our baby girl pero ayaw ko na ng

make-up at ng nailpolish kung girl ulit ang kasunod. Whew, tagal naman dumating

nila Riley, pinagpapawisan na ako ng malamig, sa mga trip ni Hadara at Kalene.

"It does sound like fun Daddy," ngiti ni Hadara. "Yes, thank fu--, plush! I mean

plush," ngiti ni Avery sa kanila. "Let's go, watch now," alok ko naman.

"Okay," they say in unison, and started walking regally to the entertainment room.

"After you my princesses," yukod namin. After naming maiayos ng upo ang dalawa,

umupo si Avery sa tabi ni Hadara. "I'll just get you snacks, your highnesses,"

paalam ko sa kanila. Nakangiti ako habang naghahanda ng popcorn, my mind travelled

to four years ago. Elisha and Avery's press statement was very simple but very effective,

that there was a will left by Jerik Razon stating that Riley and I have to marry at a certain

age to keep the wealth in the family. That Riley is Jerik's adopted daughter therefore we have

no blood ties, and that we have no choice but to marry or else the state and businesses will be

given to Jerik's favored charity institutions. Syempre dahil sa ang mundo natin ngayon ay

mahilig sa materyal na bagay, they understood perfectly, walang matitinding harsh judgements

kaming narinig to my relief, I don't want my Duchess suffering. Even our business partners and

collegues understood, and commend me for doing what is right, because they also practice

fixed marriages slash merger of empires.

"Hey handsome," I heard Riley's sexy drawl in my ear as I felt her arms embrace my waist.

"Your back from shopping? It's still early babe," ngiti ko sa asawa ko at humarap dito.

"I miss my favorite guy and favorite little girl suddenly, nag-aya na akong umuwi," she smiled

sweetly. "Why babe, are you not ready yet to part with your pearls and tutu?" she teased me.

"Ah ganun, maybe you need to be barefoot and pregnant again wife, so you'll know who's

the man of the house, it's time for Kalene to have a little brother," I growled to her as I try

to catch her. She run from me squealing loudly. I smiled contentedly as I follow her to

the other room. Life is good, although it was not easy juggling between being a CEO and a

family man, the last four years was the happiest years of my life. And I wouldn't want it

any other way.

THE END...
