Billionaire's Acting Wife- (Montreal Property #3)

BAW- Introduction!

Saven Louis Montreal - is the second son of Don Samuel and Donya Sheila Montreal. He is both a business magnate and a billionaire.

Unlike his brothers, Saven didn't manage any of their businesses. He pursued his dream of becoming a doctor instead. He works as a doctor at Don Helario Memorial Hospital, which is owned by a family friend. He is also a shareholder of the hospital and holds stocks in some of the biggest hospitals in Asia.

His irresistible charm is undeniable. With his mestizo looks and angelic face, inherited from his mother, who was once named the most beautiful elite of her time, he stands tall at 6 feet and 1 inch, with muscles that make women swoon. But he doesn't take advantage of them; playing with women's emotions is not his style. This sets him apart from his brothers. He respects women as he respects himself.

At the young age of 25, he married Faith Mauricio, fulfilling his childhood dream. Despite her repeated transgressions against him, he remains steadfast in forgiving her.

Now 31 years old, he has a 5-year-old daughter who suffers from a congenital heart condition. He does everything in his power to make his daughter happy, as his wife doesn't devote much time to her. He fulfills all of his wife's shortcomings towards their daughter, even though he knows it's not enough.

***Saven's POV***

-

Naikuyom ko ang aking kamao. Kahit pa hindi direktang aminin ni Faith sa akin pero huling- huli ko ang tinatago nyang sekreto.

I confronted her. Pero ako ang pinalalabas nyang mali. Nagkaroon kami ng matinding away, dahilan para mag- alsa balutan na naman sya.

Kakauwi lang nya galing sa New York, dahil sa pictorial ng bagong international brand na eni- endorse nya. She stayed there for almost four months. Puro trabaho ang inaatupag nya.

For that time, marami syang na miss na milestone ng anak namin. Hindi sya nakarating sa recital ng anak namin. Pati ang tatlong araw na nasa hospital ng anak namin, hindi din sya nakadalaw.

Isang tunog mula sa cellphone ko ang pumukaw sa diwa ko.

"Hello!" Kinalma ko ang ang aking boses.

"Boss---" si Greg ang nasa kabilang linya. Pinababantayan ko sa kanya ang asawa ko.

"Speak up!"

"Boss, nasa hospital si maam." Aniya.

"What? What happened?" Kinakabahan ako ng sobra.

"Naaksidente boss."

"Sabihin mo kung saan hospital at pupunta ako."

Agad akong tumungo sa hospital na sinasabi ni Greg. Faith was in critical condition nang nadatnan ko sya sa hospital.

"Mom, pwede kayo muna ang bahala kay Sandy." Tinawagan ko ang aking ina. Malungkot ang boses ko.

"Of course." Ani sa kabilang linya. "Bakit?"

"Faith met an accident. She's still in critical condition."

"Tell me kung saan hospital sya naka-confine. At papuntahin ko dyan ang ilan sa mga kapatid mo." May pagkaalala sa boses ni mommy.

My mother didn't like Faith, but she respected her as her daughter-in-law. After I told mommy that Faith was confined in the hospital where I work, I quickly ended the call with her.

It didn't take long before my older sibling Seighfred arrived, accompanied by his wife Afiah. Her pregnancy was obvious. The two were holding hands.

"Malapit lang kami dito ng tinawagan ako ni mommy." Ani ng kapatid ko. "How is she anyway?"

"Nasa operating room parin." Lumo kong pagkakasabi.

"Magpakatatag ka. Were here!" Si Afiah. At tinapik ang balikat ko.

"Salamat." Pinilit kong ngumiti.

I glanced at Seighfred. I could clearly see the wonderful sparkle in his eyes whenever he looked at his wife. I know that my brother loves his wife very much. He's truly fortunate to love such a wonderful, amazing woman. Not everyone is lucky in love.

Every now and then, my siblings started to arrive one by one. That's how we are. We support each other even if it's not obvious. Even my brothers didn't like Faith. But, they still worried about her.

I can't blame them for not liking Faith. Aside from her looks, there's really nothing appealing about my wife. She's completely different from Afiah, who is very beautiful inside and out.

This is the reason why I had a slight liking for Afiah before. But it doesn't mean that I want to be romantically involved with her. She is my brother's wife, and when she left because of Seighfred's foolishness, I was really angry with my brother.

Ilang araw nang comatose si Faith. Kahit ano pang pagtatago namin, nalalaman din ng anak ko ang nangyari sa ina nya. Isa naman kasing sikat na personalidad ang asawa ko.

Todo iyak ang anak ko. Nagkaroon daw sya ng masamang panaginip.

"Please baby, stop crying! Alam mo naman makakasama 'yan sayo, diba?" Ani ko. Nag- alala ako ng sobra sa kanya. Bawal pa naman nya ang umiyak ng sobra.

"Dad, please tell me that mom will be okay. Tell me that she will recover. That she will come back to me and take care of me. That she won't leave me. Please, tell me dad." Mangiyak- ngiyak na pagkakasabi nya sa akin.

"Oo naman." I wipe her tears using my finger. "Ano ba kasi ang napaginipan mo at naging ganyan ka." Pinilit kong ngumiti para maibsan ang takot nya.

"I dreamt that mommy passed away. That the machines in her body stopped working." Napahikbi sya.

"Sweetheart, dreams can be scary, but they're not real. Mommy is still here with us, fighting hard. The doctors and nurses are taking good care of her. Let's send her all our love and positive thoughts. Everything will be okay." ani ko sa kanya, niyakap ko sya ng mahigpit dahil wala parin syang tigil sa kakaiyak.
