Chapter 76: Chapter 76

River's POV

"You already have a grasp of Aviena, but seems like it has become a rock," Kuya Spring said with a laugh when he saw me busy on my phone. He grinned broadly as he watched me stare at each photo of Aviena at some brand abroad.

“You bought a lot of magazines again? What are you going to do there?” my curious older brother asked. I don't know either. I just like seeing her face.

I just want an update from her. She was enjoying her life in Amsterdam. I told myself that I'll just let her for now. But once she came back to the Philippines, I won't ever let her go. However, I also can't bear to visit her so I simply go to Amsterdam once a year. I simply look at her. Just like how I've been admiring her in the past. I thought I was content with just that but I want to fucking wake up in the morning again to see her. I want to live with her again.

I was busy with some papers when Marissa called. I didn't feel like answering her call because I haven't heard any news from Aviena so far.

"Hey, I have news for you." I frowned when I heard the playful voice of Marissa's voice. I know she's going to say things to me again.

"Guess who I saw here in the Maldives today," she said so I immediately sat down. I know something is going on when she says things like this.

“I saw Aviena today. She's with someone. Looks like she's really happy right now. She's so blooming,” she said so I stopped immediately.

"What?" I asked while I can't even control my frown, especially since I could still see the smirk on Marissa's lips.

I ended up overthinking things so I told the secretary to cancel all the meetings I had just to go to the Maldives.

I couldn't even sleep because of the thought of what Marissa was saying. Yes, I gave her peace but that doesn't mean I'll just let her live with someone else. I won't even let any other guy close to her if that's the case. If I had to carry her in a chopper just so she could go home to the Philippines, I would.

"It's fine, I'll just stay here," I said when I saw Aviena painting something on her canvas. I tried to look at Aviena but she immediately saw me. There is still a trace of confusion on her face. I can't help but furrow my forehead as I look at her right now. What's with her? Does she really have another guy right now?

I couldn't stop myself from approaching when I saw a man go in her way. I also couldn’t help the edge of my eyes as I stared at Aviena.

“When will you come home, Wife?” And just a second pass, she's already gone. I can’t help but be annoyed especially when I didn't see her after that. I was irritated by the thought that she really has someone now.

I came back to the Philippines but when I heard that some brand here in the Philippines will be working in the animation company, I immediately brought it. That’s an opportunity to work with her and their work is good too. I really like their ways of working in their animations.

My secretary came with me to Amsterdam. I can’t help but look around when I entered their company. Should I buy it? I can make the atmosphere much better? Or should I just donate more money? I already invested. Maybe I should also donate some furniture here. It seems like they don't have so much money.

I can't help but raise my eyebrow when I saw Aviena talking with some dutch dude. I gave them a cold look. What is this? Is he the one she's dating right now? I couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow while looking at them.

But looks like a lot of boys are really around her. Damn it. I wish I didn't let go of her then.

I can't help but feel bad as I see her talking to Tom now, that asshat ex-love team of hers. I could just see the face of it and I was already annoyed.

“No need. We will just visit you in the Philippines,” she said while smiling from ear to ear to that motherfucker friend of hers.

“Wait, what? Are you coming back? ” Wait. What did I just hear?

"Yup, I'm also coming back to the Philippines," she said while smiling with the asshat. So she'll come back just because of that idiot? Are they really in a relationship? I hope not.

“See you, Tom! I miss you too!” I could hardly hear what they were saying because of my irritation.

"So it's Tom, your boy toy." Damn it. Why would she date him? She already has me.

"You're coming back to the Philippines because of that asshat?" I asked while there was irritation in my voice.

"Then I'll just give hell to both of you once you come back," I coldly promised him before turning my back on her. But in the end, I can't just do that either.

"Eat your lunch." Damn it. Why does she affect me this much?

I get ready for her to come back. I'm fucking serious about what I said. I was even getting ready to give hell to his boy toy.

"Do that and Aviena will probably just dump you," Ocean said with a smile when she heard about me ordering my secretary to ruin Tom's career.

“That guy is an important person to Aviena. I'll tell it to her. Maybe it's not hard for you to win back her heart, she won't really come back to you then,” Ocean laughed teasingly. It is not unknown to me that Ocean often goes to Aviena's house. And I like it that way, somehow I can hear what she's planning about. I could hear Aviena’s rackets and work on her.

Well, she was the one who likes to gossip as well. I don't even know how they ended on good terms when in fact she just went to Amsterdam to say sorry for what they said.

They inform me of what they said about Aviena before she go to Amsterdam, and they became guilty about what happened to us. I can’t help but be annoyed with them the reason why Ocean goes there. Mama doesn’t want to do it. It’s hurting her pride, she said. I understand where she is coming from. I know how much she cares about me but I just hate the fact that I feel like she doesn’t trust me as her son. Well, she should because I might have lost myself because of Aviena but they still shouldn’t have done that. Aviena was a very important person to me too, just like how I was to them.

We talk about it. She said sorry but not with Aviena. I felt bad for my wife. Maybe that’s the reason why she can’t find her peace with me. Everyone hates her when the fact is she tried her best not to show her flaws. She’s so pure for the world so how can they dislike her?

I already thought about everything when she came back. I’ll make her fall in love with me again to the point that she won’t be able to even like someone else. I’ll make sure that she won’t be able to live in another country without me again.

“It seems like you don't need to live in Amsterdam, huh?” Pride ask when he saw me getting ready to pick Aviena up at the airport. I just shrugged with his teasing face.

Well, I thought of living in Amsterdam if she doesn't have any plans to go back here. I can just stay there too if that's what she wants. I wouldn’t mind at all.

But every plan I have—A, B, C, D, E, or even more letters—easily gets ruined when I saw a little Aviena in front of me.

“Mama.” A soft voice came from the little girl while trying to hide from her mother’s back. She’s my daughter. I know. I know it too well. Damn….

How? How can this happen? She is my daughter. How did Aviena manage to hide her from me? Damn. I hope I didn't let her go that time.

“She’s my daughter… Heck… I have a child…” l can’t even believe it. Damn. We really have a daughter.

“River, this is Camillia… Our daughter…” I heard Aviena say. I know. I know that damn well… I'm the only one really.

“Good morning, Mr. River Savellano, I'm Fluvius Camillia Savellano, I'm 4 years old this June 16. I enjoy water activities like you… I'm a gold medalist… and good in math… I hope you can like me… ” Fluvius Camillia Savellano . And she's a Savellano.

I can’t help the pain I feel at the idea I haven’t even seen her grow. I wasn’t even there during the times Aviena was struggling while giving birth to her. I was so mad that I didn't even know what to do but how can my annoyance stay when I see that innocent face of my wife. How can my madness remain the same when she's not even doing anything but I already forgive her. I can't just really stay mad at her.

Especially when they found out that their life was threatened by her sister. How can that fucking happen when I'm fucking away from her. I couldn't help but be annoyed that I didn't have those times to protect my parents.

But now, I'll do that. I'll promise myself that it won't happen again. To Camillia, to her, and to our unborn child.

“Love, what are you doing? Get our baby's things,” she said calmly but already in pain as we got in the car.

I couldn't help but get confused and almost took everything in our house.

"What? Will you take all that?” Aviena asked as she struggled. I couldn't speak anymore because I could see that he was getting close to the pain he was feeling.

"Wife, do you just want to call them here?" I asked because I was restless as I looked at her.

“Shut up, River. Let's just go. Hurry up or else I will give birth on the road,” she calmly said as he closed his eyes. I was even more nervous there and didn't know where to sit in the car.

“What is it, River? I'm getting sick of you,” she said angrily.

"You can sit here," she called. I also didn't know what to do so I just held her hand.

She was already in pain while we were on our trip.

When we got to the hospital, some staff had already gone to her. I was with her in the operating room. I was just holding her hand while she was shouting. I can't help but close my eyes. I felt like I can’t watch it but of course, I’ll be here.

She was unconscious after she gave birth to our youngest. A loud cry embraces the operation room. I can't help but smile while looking at the child. I tenderly kiss him on his forehead.

I just watch them both, Camillia also came after that. We both just look at her mother and brother while smiling.

“He’s so tiny, Papa. He won’t break if we ever touch him?” Camillia asks so I can't help but laugh softly.

“He won’t but you need extra care once you touch him,” I said so she nod one after another. I mess her hair because of that.

We waited for an hour to wait for Aviena to wake up. After that, the nurse gave our youngest to us.

We named him Fluvius Iver Savellano. I like it. I like both Camillia and Iver’s names.

“You didn’t sleep yet?” Aviena ask. I just smile at her because of that. I don’t want to. I want to take care of them both in case she wakes up or Iver will.

“Thank you…” she said in a small voice. I just shake my head at her. Why is she saying thank you to me when I should be the one saying that? It’s very hard for her. Not just one day but really hard for months.

“I love you… Thank you for giving birth to our son and daughter, Wife,” I said before kissing her on her forehead.

“You should kiss us too, Mama, Papa!” Camillia said so we chuckled before kissing her and Iver.

I can't help but smile when Camillia pokes Iver's cheeks. Aviena chuckled because of that too.

I can’t help but look at the three of them… My home…
