The Billionaire 3: Tyron Cruz

Isabella is happily watching her five-year old son, Jherickson and her three-year old daughter, Anabelle who is playing with their Uncle Anthony and Don Samuel, who is now fifteen-years old. It is a weekend and they are all at the Morgan’s Villa, it became their routine that they will all gather there to spend time with Don Samuel. At the age of 80, Don Samuel is getting better and better each day maybe because of the joy of having his family.

“Hey, wifey.” Tyron greets her as he slides his arm around Bella’s waist and kiss her cheeks.\

“Look at them, hubby.” Isabella said, smiling as they watch the old Don laughing with his grandchild and great-grandchildren. “What a sight to see, finally, grandpa achieves his dream to see his great grandchildren,”

“Yes, and as time goes by, he is getting better and better. He is strong as a bull.” Tyron agrees. “And our children are one of the reasons why he decided to continue living.”

“I agree. He really looks happy and satisfied now, unlike when I first saw him.” Bella said. “And up until now, I kept thinking that if you haven’t knocked some senses to me, maybe we will not achieve the happiness we are experiencing now. I almost wanted him to die when we saw him again in the hospital.”

Tyron sigh and hugs her tight. “Don’t be like that, Bella. It is understandable why you acted that way.”

“I don’t know, Tyron, what if he lost hope and died? I will carry that my whole life.” Bella said as she sadly stares at her grandfather.

“But that didn’t happen, right? You listened to me, swallowed your pride and had a good talk with your grandfather.”

“Yes, that is why I owe you a lot.” Bella smiles and loosely wraps her arms around Tyron’s neck. “I love you.”

Tyron was taken aback at her sudden remark, it is unusual for his wife to be the first one to say those three words, usually it is always him who is the first one to say those. “That’s unusual, eh.” He said making her pout. Tyron chuckles before saying, “I love you too.”

After they had their lunch, Isabella approaches Don Samuel who is seated in the balcony, overlooking the garden.

“Grandpa…”

“The flowers in the garden are beautiful, aren’t they?” Don Samuel said, smiling. “Do you know that those were planted by your grandmother? She doesn’t want to accept any help while planting those, even though I told her to hire a gardener.” Isabella didn’t say anything but she stares at the old Don. “She told me not to deprive her one and only hobby, since I always left her alone here. She wanted to create a garden for our sons to play with, but that dream of her was short-lived. Your Uncle Ricardo got kidnapped and even though we give the ransom money, he didn’t come back to us; after that, your grandmother suddenly lost her usual brightness.”

Your grandmother is the most beautiful woman I ever saw in my whole life.” The Don smiles lovingly. “I am actually thankful to her that she married me despite the fact that she can’t stand being with me, I still remember the time when she said that she is against our marriage.

I want you to know that I am glad that you were the one I married instead of my lover then. If it were him that I married, I may not have experienced the happiness of a family I discovered with you. To be honest, you were not my ideal man nor my ideal partner in mind but you defied all of those. You managed to break the wall in my heart that is why I agreed to be married with you. Ours maybe an arranged one but I married you according to my own will. I
