"How were the two of you so far?" her father asked.

They were in his office to talk about their company's merger with Maverick's mom's company.

"We're fine, Dad," she answered, shrugging. She would have liked to add that she just slept all night on their first night, but of course, she won't tell that.

"I'm glad to hear that, hija. I was afraid that you'll change your mind once you live under one roof with my son," Maverick's mom said.

"Oh, no, Ma'am. That never going to happen," she answered.

"We're doing just fine. I'm just adjusting but that will never be a problem, right, honey?" she answered, turning to Maverick who's sitting beside her.

He raised an eyebrow at her and she immediately glared at him to get what he wanted to say. "Of course. You don't have to worry, Mom. We're fine," he answered, smiling at his mother.

"That's good. And hija, please stop calling me ma'am, you should get used to calling me mommy or mom. I'm your mother now that you married my son, Hija," said her mother-in-law. And for a mommy, she felt warm in her heart. Finally, after twenty five years, she will have someone she can call a mom.

"All right, Mommy," she answered, still hesitant to say the last word.

"I hope the two of us will give us a grandchild soon. I am excited to have a child at home. My Emilia is the first and last child I who has been at our home," her Dad said.

She did not know if she would laugh or what for what they hear but she just chose to smile. "We'll get there soon, Dad." she answered, smiling awkwardly. And when he looked back at Maverick he just raised an eyebrow at her, he couldn't help but smirk at her.

"I won't be around for five days," she told Sandro.

His eyebrows immediately rose. After their meeting with Maverick's parents, she went straight to his office. Sandro is working as the planning manager in their company. "And why again?" its question.

"Honeymoon, Sands. In Palawan," she answered. His eyes widened then he grinned like a dog. It will definitely suck again.

She immediately glared at it. "I know what you are thinking and I'm telling you already that we won't do it," she said immediately.

"Eh, what if your husband looks like that? He is not a saint to suffer without that and he just seems to know that he is immediately the type of man who has a lot of experience like that," Sandro asked.

She folded his arms and raised an eyebrow at her. "Is that still my problem? He can fuck whoever he wants, as long as he makes sure that I will not be ashamed of what he does," she replied.

"Are you sure about that, girl? You'll just let your husband really talk to others?" Sandro assured.

"I'm so certain, Sands. And it was also came to him that this marriage will only be on papers. So why would I react on his rendezvous?" she asked. Sandro shrugged. "I don't know about you two. You are wasting race, my God!" sa

He crouched down. "If you want, you can volunteer in my part. Ask him to impregnate you," she replied.

"Girl! If only I could, all right? You don't have to force me anymore, I be willing to volunteer," he replied and it only made it harder.

Her plan did not include having a child with Maverick. Because, she does not want her child to experience everything she has experienced.

She didn't say a word and just let his friend speak. She still has some other things to worry about and one of those was their honeymoon. They were set to leave to Palawan for their five days honeymoon. She did not want to leave and would rather work for those five days but of course, she could do nothing because it was part of their parents' plan.

It was late at night when she got home. When she arrived at Maverick's house, she was surprised to find some of his friends there, those with him at the table at their wedding.

"Hey, Mrs. De Chavez is here!" someone announced.

She smiled as everyone who greeted her. "Hello, good evening," she greeted them, all eight, five boys and three girls. She almost jumped when she felt someone caress her waist and when she looked back hse immediately met Maverick's cold stare at her.

"I didn't know they would be here. They suddenly showed up in our door," he told her.

She sighed and shook her head, taking a step to her side causing for Maverick's hold on her to lose. "It's fine, don't worry," she said with a small smile on her lips, making her eyes go slanted.

"I'll just get dressed," she said to Maverick before turning to his friends. "Enjoy the night, just ask us if you need anything," she told his friends.

"Okay, Mrs. generous is still good, but this Maverick is very stingy," someone said and she just laughed at that.

She entered their room and went straight to their walking closet. She was already stripping off when the door opened and from there entered Maverick.

"Oh, gosh! Don't you know how to knock ?!" he shouted here. She took off her skirt and only one button was left on her long sleeves. But Maverick just shrugged and watched her from her head to toe, arching his brow after and looking at her straight in her eyes.

"Change fast. I'll introduce you to them," he said and turning his back after, leaving her alone there.
