The Billionaire's Wife

Prologue

Aviena's POV

“No! I don't want to go to the Philippines! ” Camillia's already throwing tantrums while holding my legs. I can't help but look at her.

"Camillia." I just called her name and she slowly adjusted to her seat while holding back her tears.

“We’re not going to stay there for so long. It will be fast. We will go home right away. ”

"No."

"Why?" I ask calmly because my daughter doesn't usually throw tantrums when she doesn't have any reason to.

She sobbed slowly so I turned to look at her.

“Shh… Mama’s not mad at you… I just wanted to know why don’t you want to go there. Don't you want to see how beautiful Mama's birthplace is? ” I asked her again so she tried to stop crying but she couldn't.

"I… I was just scared…" she whispered softly. I slowly stopped what I’m doing. I know what she's scared about.

"Hmm?"

“I was just scared that Papa won’t like me. What will happen if he won’t love me, Mama?” she even asked me so I smiled at her before shaking and messing up her hair.

“Papa will like you and if he won’t then Mama’s always here. You're Mama's baby, remember?” I asked her with a smile so she nodded slowly.

“Are you sure Papa will like me, Mama? Will he like my curly hair like yours?” she asked. Gradually the tears disappeared from his eyes.

“What about the way I speak, Mama? Will he likes it? ” It didn't even bother him.

The truth is I don't really have an idea if he will like everything about her but if he won't then don't. I will not force my daughter on him. I know he hates me but I just really hope that he will love his daughter. Whatever happened, this little cute girl came from his balls.

“Are you finally going home now, Ate? Miss you, Ate! ” Marieta shouted loudly from the other line. I can't help but smile.

"Where’s the ugly little girl?" she asked so I laughed before showing Camillia who immediately frowned when she saw her Aunt. We're already in the airport and planning to go to the Philippines now.

"I'm not ugly, you ugly old hag," she complained so I immediately turned to her.

"Camillia." She knew I would scold her right away so he immediately apologized.

“I'm sorry, Tita. You're so annoying. ”

“Your daughter will really inherit from you, Elder Sister. She’s just going to apologize but still my fault, huh?” I laugh because I can’t deny it either but I change through times. I know how to apologize now.

"Prepare the long list of excuses when you talk to brother-in-law River, Elder Sister." The smile disappeared from my lips when she mentioned the name of the man I had been preparing to meet for a long time. I thought I was okay. I thought I could do it but now that Camillia and I are in the Philippines, it seems like I just want to back off. I can still remember his angry face as if I'm back from the past.

"Good morning, Ma'am." As soon as I got off the plane, some staff led us outside. Camillia looked at me because of this. I also stared at her. I can’t help but be nervous. As if I would lose my breath while walking. For no apparent reason, we are the only ones guided by them.

I stopped when I saw his familiar guards. Almost everyone is scattered at the airport.

“Mom? What's happening?" Camillia asked me. I want to run but I know… I know that I won’t be able to run anymore. He himself told me he would imprison me when we met again. But the heck with that brute! We haven't seen each other!

"Camillia, let's go," I said to my daughter who was wondering about me but immediately followed.

"Ma'am!" Shouted by some staff who guided us earlier. I was carrying Camillia while running. I know. That one won't stop me. He'll fucking make my life hell. That's what he told me back then. I didn't know where I was going.

"I'm sorry," I said when I hit someone because of being in hurry. Stupid. I even dropped my belongings.

I just lowered my head to look at Camillia for a moment who was stunned by what was happening and seemed like she wanted to ask but because she could see the confusion on my face, she didn't say anything.

I slowly looked at the person in front of me because he is not leaving there. My mouth was immediately left wide open when I saw his face.

I was immediately annoyed to see his blue eyes just staring at me. His lips were smirking but his eyes were screaming danger.

"What are you doing here?" I shouted loudly at him.

“You asshole—” I would curse at him annoyingly when I realized that my daughter is here.

"Mama, that's bad…" Camillia said to me. It was as if I was completely out of breath as Camillia's eyes slowly landed on his father’s face.

They said that Camillia looks at me but people haven't seen him. She looks like the little version of him but with soft features.

“Wait! Is that my Papa?” Camillia whispered to me. I nodded. Her blue eyes gradually rounded. She looks at her father.

Camillia immediately hid behind me when she realized what was going on. River met my eyes. I sometimes thought that he was just a statue born with a handsome face. You can see often there is no readable expression on his face but now, mixed emotions can be seen here.

“You—” He couldn't even speak completely as if he was calming himself down.

"I'll take custody of my daughter," he said in a tough tone.

"As well as the mother of my child."
