Chapter 77

CLAIRE POV

“Your lip tints products are cheap, cheap like you! You are cheap! Iww!” Huan judger me and my products.

I met someone who offered me if I wanted to sell a lip tint product, and now I am selling them in a bazaar.

“Look, no one is buying in your shops because the packaging is ugly and the colors are trash. Add a nude color; these colors are for prostitutes.”

I’m starting my business, and Huan is giving it bad luck.

I am curious about what Huan is doing here with her assistant with a big mouth.

“You know what? No one is going to buy from your shop! Look at the other stall; they have a lot of consumers except you.” Huan roared.

I felt a little hurt. Huan must support me in her business because we are sisters. But why is Huan bringing me down? And it seems that she doesn't want me to become successful in life.

I am getting support from a stranger instead of my family, my blood.

I bow my head and let Huan say whatever she wants because even if I fight with her, it won’t benefit me.

“Get out of here. You are ugly. If my products are ugly, you are uglier. And get out of here. You are not going to buy!” I shouted at her while widening my eyes.

She is making my head boil.

Huan was stunned when I shouted at her. I didn’t expect it to and didn’t know where I got the confidence to yell at her.

“Get out of here! Choo! Go away!”

I touch my womb I feel slight pain.

“Get out!” I shouted again.

I don’t care about her anymore, and I was too kind to her; if I continue being an angel, Lord might get me.

When this place gets crowded, that’s where Kiki comes. In just an instant, many women want to take a photo with him, and they giggle at him.

Of course, I won’t let them have a free picture of Kiki; they must come from me before they have a photo with him.

The line on his is too long, and the woman has a crush on him. Even a gay gets in the bar too.

I closed my store earlier because they bought all my products. Even my tent they want to buy it.

Instant sold out.

"I should always take you with me to sell all my products," I said to Kienzo as I entered the condo.

We ate out, and I was the one who paid.

`

"When you are about to give birth, we will take your replacement and expand your business." He said and opened the condo.

He let me in first.

"It's up to you," I said briefly.

Our quarrels have lessened, and his coldness has diminished; he is becoming sweet to me.

“Are you tired? Do you want me to massage your feet?”

I nodded at him in response.

“When you give birth there, we will move into our house. It’s already under renovation for our baby. ”

He has a plan for our child.

And thanks to God, we don’t have a problem.

“Don’t you have cravings?” He asked me.

I raise my eyebrow at his question.

“Enzo is having a hard time with Chandria because his craving is too strong, and she is suddenly fighting with him, she has mood swings, and Enzo can’t handle it anymore. He has a dilemma. And his experience is giving him a trauma; he doesn’t want to have another child.”

“And I’m lucky because you are not making me suffer.” He chuckled while massaging my feet, “you might run away from me.”

“Our baby is kind; maybe their baby is naughty.” I giggled.

I know Chnadria’s cravings have already ended, and maybe she’s just making Enzo suffer.

Kienzo, stop massaging my feet.

He comes close to me and holds my hand gently.

“If loving you is a crime, I’m looking at a life sentence. That day you courted me and stayed by my side through my downs and my deepest situation. I want to convict you for stealing my heart out of the blue and making me happy forever.” He chuckled.

His laugh is sexy.

But I don’t understand anything about what he said, and I feel he will sue me anytime.

“I never thought I would fall in love with you. We should know that your exquisiteness is not a crime but stealing my innocent heart does.”

I am getting nose bleeding.

I feel the butterfly in my stomach, but I don’t know what he means.

“And, and this is my assurance to you, let me love you with how the lawyers spend their time defending righteousness.” And got something in his pants and was stunned when I saw a small black box. He opened it, and I saw a big shining diamond on it.

“Claire, can I spend my Chapter 1 Article 13 of the Civil Code of the Philippines with you?” He asked me earnestly. He is already kneeling in front of me. I am teary-eyed.

He is hiding his sweetness.

What’s that?

What should I answer?

We both looked at the door when someone pressed the doorbell, followed by a loud knock. That visitor wants to break our condo door.

My heart beat fast.

“That’s Kyle.” Kiki guessed and stood up and opened the door.

“Kienzo!” Kyle frowned, and he called his elder brother like a child.

“Kyle, don’t you know how to knock in the right way?” Kiki scolds him, and he leaves him at the door.

Kyle is eating chocolate while frowning.

“They are fighting again in the house. Mommy is a soy sauce; She’s meddling in the married life of brother Enzo. I don’t wanna stay at home!” Kyle looked annoyed, and he came inside.

“Mom is so overacting, and Chandria is a drama queen!” Kyle said stressfully.

“Why? What happened?” Kiki asked curiously.

“Kienzo and Keran are fighting again, and mom is meddling again… as always,” Kyle said and rolled his eyes.

“If mom called you and asked about me, tell her I ran away with my girlfriend,” Kyle smirked.

“Psh!”

“Kyle, did you know that I am proposing? You ruined my proposal.” Kiki said annoyingly, and he glared at his younger brother.

“Really? I don’t believe it.” Kyle continues to eat his chocolate and lean.

Kiki sighed in depression.

“You are proposing, with you two only? You are too secretive that even your proposal is hiding from us!”

Kiki sighed, walked near me, and kneeled in front of me. He ignores his younger brother, who keeps complaining.

“Will you love to spend your Chapter 1 Article 13 of the Civil Code of the Philippines with me?”

Kienzo only understands what he is saying.

“What’s the  meaning of that?” Kyle sat on the sofa and looked at us.

“Claire,” Kiki called my name Impatience.

“Yes! My dear!” I said even though I didn't know the meaning of what he said it. This man knows a lot of things.

Sometimes it’s funny to have a genius husband because you will lose in a debate, and your brain is bleeding too.

He slid the ring on my ring finger, and the condo changed.

“Woah! There’s a firework!” Kyle yelled and ran out the wide window, seeing the city lights.

Kiki pulled me and kissed me thoroughly on my lips.

I am teary eyes—there is a firework in the cloud and a date today shown on it. I saw a pic of us, and there’s also a note saying, I love you.

“That was sweet but corny,” Kyle commented.

"He should have had that airplane earlier." Kyle's complaint.

"I have something to say." I looked at Kyle.

“Hay, why you all my brothers like that? You are all in a mess!” Kyle complained again. He keeps complaining in his life and never feels grateful for small things.

“You two are having a moment together, and, If I didn’t come, I wouldn’t know. While Enzo is fighting again with brother Keran, he punches him multiple times in the face.

Keran kisses chandria, and the first brother sees it, then mom meddles in it; why can’t she mind her own business and let the oldies fix their problems? Chandria cried, and  I contacted old Enzo. Dad punch Keran and Enzo.”

We look at Kyle.

“Where’s Enzo?” Kiki asks his younger brother.

Kyle looks like he is already in his twenties because he is tall and has good taste in fashion.

“I will ruin your moment because everyone is arguing in the house; I will stay here for a while, okay? Thank you! And brother Kien, I am not looking for a missing person, and just like I had said earlier, I can’t contact old Enzo, and I don’t know his whereabouts.”

Kiki glared at him.

“How’s my nephew?” Kyle suddenly ask.

“Do you have mood swings and cravings like sister Dria? That one stole my chocolates, and when I reported it to old Enzo, she got scolded by him.” Kyle told us.

I am not that picky, unlike before; I wasn’t aware that I was already pregnant, so I like the smell of Kiki even if it smells terrible.

“Pregnant women are all different,” I answer him.

“That’s good. Don’t steal my chocolates, okay?” Kyle asked me, and he bit his chocolates.

“What do you want for dinner?” Kiki asks me.

We just ate.

—

“Keran, let’s talk.” Kiki seriously said to his third brother.

Kienzo left his wife to Kyle, and he is happy that his younger brother became kind to Claire. They had a bonding when he left them.

“I don’t have time for that.” Keran passed him, but he pulled him in his collar and brought him to the kitchen bar counter.

Kienzo releases him without any care.

“Brother Kienzo, Chandria is waiting for me in my room!” Keran said irritatedly to him.

“Did you know that you’re ruining their marriage?” Kiki clenched his fist.

“No! Chandria loves me. Enzo made her pregnant,” Keran said without a heart.

“I’m getting what’s mine, and Chandria chooses me,” Keran said proudly.

“We will go home together; Ria will live with me,” Keran added.

“Keran,” Kiki warns him.

“Chandria and Enzo are married and going to have a baby.”

“I don’t care, brother! Chandria was mine in the very first, fuck!”

Kienzo stayed calm.

“When Chandria chase you, beg for your love. Why didn’t you love her? Now they are already married. You are acting like an idiot bastard. It’s not right, Keran. Enzo is still your brother and at least respect his marriage.”

Keran clenched his fist tightly.

“Damn it! I didn’t know where I would realize her worth when she left! Brother!... I am longing for her care! Her patience with my attitude. I mistreated her, but she chose to stay and love me, and I am a fucking asshole not to appreciate it! I was an asshole, but I now realize my mistake, and I won’t do them again. I learn my lesson. I just realized her sacrifices for me.” Keran's voice is full of regrets. He regrets the things he can’t take back anymore, no matter what he does.

“And I will take what’s mine.” Keran is full of determination. He can only correct his mistake if he wins back Dria, and he did.

Kienzo heaved a sigh and got a tequila.

“If Enzo didn’t make her pregnant, you wouldn’t know her worth?” Kienzo asked and poured wine into two glasses.
