Chapter: Chapter 12Who would've thought that I could endure Grant's presence in almost a month. An arrogant, annoying man like him. Even myself, I can't believe that I am still here.I was just staring at him while he was laughing together with his best friend, Saxson. Wearing his simple maroon v-neck t-shirt that fitted to his well-formed physique, paired with black short.Months ago we were just strangers, not literally 'cause we knew each other, it just that we were not close."Grant might melt if you won't stop staring at him," untag sa akin ni Cecille. I swiftly dodged my gaze, acted as if I was busy on my phone. "Well, can't blame you, he looks handsome."Hindi ko siya muling pinansin. Nagpapanggap na hindi ko naririnig ang mga sinasabi niya. Ayokong mag-isip siya ng ibang bagay dahil sa nahuli niya akong tinititigan ito."Oh maybe I'm getting older, I forgot that you're a great actress." Sa pagkakataong ito ay nilingon

Chapter: Chapter 11"Ha! And why would you want me to stay?" I asked, attempting to keep my rage under control. Who do you think he is to order?He walked away rather than answering my question. But I'm not going to let him pass up this issue again. He's good and skilled at evading it. As if fucking shutting his mouth will suffice to cover up everything."I'm talking to you, Grant." He still walking as if he doesn't hear me. "Will you please stop walking away and answer my damn question, goddamn it Samonte?" Cecille hold my arm to calm me down. Landon and Saxson were both staring at us. "Who are you to make decisions for me?" Huminto siya sa pagkakataong ito at lumingon sa gawi ko."I'm your husband, plain and simple." Bakit ba niya palaging ginagamit 'yong husband card na 'yan, kung alam niya ang totoo na nagpapanggap lang naman kami?"You're not my husband, and I'm not your wife. Will never be so just fuck off!" I don't care if I damaged his e

Chapter: Chapter 10I groaned when I feel like someone's body laid over mine. I slowly opened my eyes until it became wide-eyed. Grant arm was wrapped around my waist, his one arm serves as my piloow! And my face...my beautiful face was burried on his chest. My legs were in between his'.Fuck! What is it Jade? You shit. Why did you let that jerk hugged you?I gently removed his arm around my waist. Umusog ako sa gilid ng kama upang 'di na kami magdikit. Pero bago pa ako tuluyang makalayo, muli niyang kinawit ang braso sa aking bewang at hinigit ako pasiksik sa kanyang katawan. Sinubukan kong magpumiglas kaso mas humihigpit pa ang yakap niya."Don't move. Let"s sleep more," he whispered in a bedroom voice. "Better.""Taking advantage? Really, Grant?" ani ko sa naiinis na tono. Subalit parang wala lang itong narinig na mas lalo pang pinagsiksikan ang sarili sa aking katawan. "I'm human, not comforter!"

Chapter: Chapter 9Pagkatapos magbihis, magkasabay kaming bumaba ni Grant. Back to being married just for pretending. Oh fuck I am really tired of this. But yeah, I chose this, so have no choice but to stand for it."Here's the newly wed!" masiglang saad ni Mommy Daisy. I forced myself to smile. Lalo pa't lahat sila'y nandito."You are always look elegant, Ate Jade," Kath commended. I was wearing a knit sweater paired with skirt, and black boots. While Grant was just wearing a white button-down short sleeve polo paired with gray trouser and white sneaker."You too baby, you are so beautiful." Hinalikan ko ang kanyang noo, saka bahagyang pinisil ang kanyang baba."Baby pffffttt..." Luminga ako upang hanapin kung sino iyon, only to find out that it was Gladyse who's standing behind her mom. "Hi Ate gorgeous Jade," bati niya sa akin. Natawa na lamang ako. Ang kapatid ko naman ay masama ang pinupukol na tingin sa kanya.

Chapter: Chapter 8I yawned as I staring at Grant. It's only 6 in the morning and here we are. Abala siya sa pakikipag-usap sa matandang lalaki. Nandito kami sa rantso nila."Hey babe, come here," tawag nito sa akin. I stood up while frowning. This guy is really making my life fucked-up. "Someone's here having a not-so-good morning," he said teasingly and messed up my hair.Natawa ang matandang lalaki na nangangalaga sa mga kabayo. I frowned even more at what he did. He really know how to ruin my day. Well, just his fucking face is enough to pissed me off."What are we doing here?" Hindi ko maitago ang inis sa tono ng aking boses. "It's only 6 in the morning, dude. I still want to wrap up my body in a fluffy comforter." I heard him chuckled. Parang natanggal 'yong kaantukan ko nang marinig ang malambing niyang tawa."Hindi pa rin nagbabago si Señorita Jade, mahilig ka pa ring matulog." Lumingon ako sa gawi ng matanda na

Chapter: Chapter 7Until now I am still thinking about Grant said yesterday. Why mom did that? I vividly remember what she told to dad that night, before they got finally divorce.I turned my head at the mansion that I had never been able to call home. Every passing day, felt like I was stucked in hell. Mom's right, our memories inside of that house was a nightmares. Living with them was a nightmare. I bit my lower lip when tears started to flow."Saan ka ba pupuntang bata ka?" Awtomatiko akong nahinto sa pag-iyak nang marinig ang pamilyar na boses.God! I really missed her. She was my only crying shoulder back then. She gave me love that my parents had forgotten to give."Yaya Gema," I uttered as I looking at her. Is she misses me too? Is she thinking me? I want to run towards her. Hug her tight and tell her what I've been through"Please, yaya Gema. I just want to visit our farmers," maktol ng dalagang kasama niya.S

Chapter: Chapter 10I covered my face with my hand when the rays of the setting sun hit my eyes. In the eight hours I stood in the convenience store I did nothing but smile. I didn't know that it was jaw -dropping.Walking in a the middle of the busy street has become a part of my daily life. I've encountered a million of people everyday. Some of them may be the same person I'd bump into yesterday, some may not."Oh Carroll, kalalabas mo lang sa trabaho?" asked Aling Josefa, one of our neighbors."Ah opo. Saan po ang punta ninyo?" I asked her back."Sa bayan, ibebenta ko itong kakaunting isa na nahuli ng asawa ko." Tinaas niya ang dalang timba. I just nodded and started walking again.It's five o'clock and she's still going to town? Well, that's how life works here. You must've to strive hard, otherwise you won't have a food to serve at your dining table.As I lift my chin again, there's a little boy running towar

Chapter: Chapter 9I was just sitting on the upside-down boat here in sea sore. It's been 3 months. My pregnacy was now visible. I already have a hard time moving my body. Viviane visited me once a month.Nag-iingat na baka malaman ng pamilya ko na alam n'ya kung nasaan ako. Thinking of them, I couldn't help but blame myself. When I escaped 3 months ago, and my supposed fiance' found out, he took everything from dad. According to him it's our payment for dad's non-fulfillment agreement. Because of what he did, dad had a heart attark that lead him to be paralyzed.As much as I wanted to go back, I couldn't. Makakadagdag lamang ako sa problema na meron sila. It was all my fault. So I only go back, once I already have a solution to all problems I caused."Ate Carroll!" tawag mula sa likuran ko. Maya-maya pa'y narinig ko na ang mga yabag niya palapit. "Halika na, kakain na tayo." He reached for my hand to help me."Thank you

Chapter: Chapter 8Drone of the yacht engine woke me up. A sunbeam hits my face that makes me groaned. I could feel my body waving along with the ocean waves crashing on the yacht. Eyes still partly closed I pulled myself from the cot.Where's Viviane? I streched my arms and opened the door. That bitch, she didn't even bother to wake me up.I peeked a look at my wrist watch. It's already 7 in the morning, yet we're still here in the midst of ocean. We were travelling for almost half of a day, using Viviane's private yacht, and just paid someone to drive for us. She's indeed living with everything laid out in front of her. Born with a golden spoon in her mouth, so am I?"Here bitch!" I turned my head on wherein Viviane's voice came from. She waves her hand, sitting comfortably on the deck. I had sneered at her when I saw her holding a bottle of liquor.For pete's sake, is it her way to greet a new day? Sometimes she's hard to read. Weird and inexplica

Chapter: Chapter 7I quickly smite Viviane on her nape as soon as we get inside my room."Ouch bitch, why did you do that?!" she groaned with a sharp look, while caressing her nape.Nakakainis! I craved it for one week. Nahawakan ko na. Nasa kamay ko na, nawala pa! Gusto kong umiyak. Maglupasay. How could be this world so cruel? I only wanted to eat mango, pero bakit pinagkakaitan ako?"Oh shit! Are you crying over that mango?" Viviane stated. I just threw her a death glare. "Fine. I'm sorry," saad niya sa malambing na tono.I turned my back at her. Folded my arms over my chest, like a kid throwing tantrums. They don't know what I feel. Why I became sensitive all of a sudden? Nevermind!"Here, I brought an extra for emergency." I looked up at her. She was holding a paper bag laid out in front of me. "You know I'm a soldier, always prepared.""Yet you let me cried first." I poked her after grabbing it

Chapter: Chapter 6"You're exaggerated, Viviane. I'm just not feeling well, don't give a conclusion without basis. Just a reminder, we're not in court," I said and rolled my eyes at her.She took a deep breath. Her eyes still on me, as if I am a criminal and she's the prosecutor. Sinusuri niya ang bawat paggalaw ko. I stood up. Her stares really scares the hell out of me."Why do you think you felt these all of a sudden? Do you even try to take a glance at the mirror, Carmell? You look pale. There's something inside of you, admit it," pagpupumilit pa niya na tila siguradong-sigurado sa sinasabi.I pursed my lips to stop myself from talking back. Maybe she has a point, but heck my mind can't absorb it. How could I be pregnant in just one time sex? For sure that guy know what are the consequences, so he had use a protection perhaps.But what if he didn't? No Carmell, you're not pregnant. Don't jump into a conclusion.

Chapter: Chapter 5All their eyes are on me. Waiting for me to explain where I went last night. If only dad's stares were scorching, I might have turned to ashes here in my seat now."Have you swallowed your tongue, Carmell?" hindi na nakatiis na tanong nito. "We're asking you. Where have you been last night?" He asked again. This time, in a low yet cold tone."I...I-I just...went somewhere, where I can relax, dad. Don't worry, I didn't do stupid things as what you always think." His jaw clenched simultaneously with the movement of his adams apple."Darling, we're just worried. Next time, let us know your whereabouts." I nodded at what mom said. "Have you eaten breakfast?""I'm fine, mom.""Stop spoiling your daughter, will you?" naiiritang saad ni dad. "She's no longer a child. Let her be responsible, Myriam," dugtong pa nito mas lalong nagtatangis ang bagang."She's my child, Raymond. Don't command me to take
