Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (electronic reader txt) 📖

"Honey, I am so happy to see you here. Oh my gosh I miss you." Nayana kissed both of my cheeks. Donny kisses my cheeks too. They can't stop hugging me.

Aww I miss them so much.

I didn't expect that seeing them will feel like some part of me is filled for they are the perfect pieces that suits the hollow inside me.

They make my day so complete. I regret not making time to see them for so long.

After all the hugging, a bit of catching up and stuffs we decided to continue talking in nearby restaurant. I didn't hesitate to come. We ordered coffees and some pastries. I just texted my brother that I am with the Cavelli's.

I also invited them for lunch because the Cavelli wants to see them too. So, I will see them later.

"What is his name?" I asked Namika. We are sitting close and talking about random stuffs. She has a lot of stories. She's trying to inform me with all the happenings in the family for the past four years.

"Ace. Look at him he looks like Primo. It's unfair. I carried him for nine months inside me and he got all the features from his father. I am just so thankful that he is friendly and noisy just like me" she whined and I laugh.

"Charlie and Ace looks like brothers, Look at them they even look like a twins. So cute" I look at the two kids playing with each other.

"Yeah, Charlie is always at our house because Tres is at work. He got a really hectic schedule in the hospital. They sleep in the same bed. Play all day and even dressed the same. They don't want to be away with each other." she said and that makes them more adorable.

"So how are you? How's motherhood?" I asked her

She looks more beautiful and blooming today. She looks happy and contented in her life.

"I am a hands-on wife and mother to my boys. And motherhood is super hard but fulfilling." she shared

"If you and Deus didn't break up, I think you two already got a son." Nayana butted in the convo.

"Where is he?" I asked. It’s not that I am interested. It’s just that need to make the conversation casual.

"Don't tell me he didn't come because of work and where's Zaylee?" I don't know if I am really asking these questions.

I know seeing him will bring up some wounds but one way or another life will eventually lead us to see each other. No matter what preparation, I think I will never be prepared to meet him so let it be today. At least his family is here with us and having lots of people around us will make the atmosphere less awkward.

Namika and Nayana look at each other.

"Hey, Ali! What's up!" Tres energetically greet the two people who just arrived. They are wearing much formal clothes this time. Alison and Kai greet everyone.

What a great unexpected reunion.

"Tres. Is this your kid?" Ali pinched Charlie's cheeks and he glared at her. I laughed.

"Sucks to be you" I tease her and she just stick her tongue out at me.

"I can win his heart" she confidently said and busied herself playing with the two kids. Kai sits next to where Tres and Primo is, to talk about business.

When everyone feels hungry, we ordered proper meals. Everyone rearranges the sitting arrangement. I am now beside Charlie who is sitting in a baby sit and an empty seat is on my other side. Charlie wants me to sit beside him and I love him more because of his clingy side.

"You two. when are going to get married?" Donny asks Kai and Ali. Ali and Kai looked at each other/

"Soon" Kai said and Ali's face turned into the color of tomato.

Actually, she already wants to settle down. She always says that to me. Same with my brother. I don't know what's keeping him so long to ask her hands for marriage. He keeps on saying that he will find me a boyfriend first before he finally settle down with my best friend. Yeah, he is so afraid that I'll end up being an old maiden.

"Come propose already and give me a nephew as cute as this one" I tease my brother and playfully play at Charlie's chubby cheeks.

Charlie didn’t mind me because he is so busy eating his mashed potatoes.

"I want a baby in the house" I added and my brother suddenly smirked.

"Deus she's asking for a baby. Satisfy her bro" Kai said while looking at my back.

Did I hear it right?

D..eu..s?

I feel the presence of someone behind me but I am way to terrified to confirm if it’s really him.

My breathing falls short and my hands become weak that the utensils that I am holding suddenly feels so heavy.

I look at everyone. Some are looking at the same direction Kai is looking at, while the rest is looking at me observing my reaction.

"He is really here?" I mouthed at Ali and she nod. I close my eyes and I just want to vanished.

Heaven I thought you better meet him today huh? Where did your confident go? I scolded myself.
