Chasing Ex-Wife
They say MARRIAGE is made out of love, faithfulness, and responsibilities. That is the three words that they say, it will be the foundation to have a good marriage. But mine's not the case. Faithfulness is not needed when it comes to the both of us. We don't have responsibilities for each other. And our marriage was not made in love, It's made of pure agreement and just business. Nothing more, nothing less.
Darya Valenciana is married to a man who's one of the richest man in the world named Cevier Clarckson Montebella. The man who she finds arrogant and intimidating at the same time. Arrange marriage and marriage in convenience is a thing from the both families of Valenciana and Montebella since spanish era. Being rich and being a good daughter, Darya obeyed her parents to marry Cevier. Five years of being married to him, not even one bit change. They're always fighting with each other everyday or even when they see each other, Cevier being rude to her, insulted her every second. Insulted her as a wife. Darya couldn't handle it anymore. That one decision that would change her entire life is to cut her string on him and divorce him. She only wanted peace and nothing more. And by divorcing him, the peace would be by her side in no time. Divorce and peace. That's what she want and she'll never stop until she gets it.

Chapter: Chapter 21“Are you okay?” I asked Darya. Hindi niya ako matingnan. Here we go again. After the things that we did together, it will only be like this…toxic. Nakakasawa rin. It is our honeymoon, we’ve made love… Natagis ako ng bagang ko. “I have to go, please…” At ganoon na lang ‘yon. Hinayaan ko siyang umalis. In the middle of the cold night. I felt lonely and cold. Hindi ko maintindihan. First, the wedding in Hawaii. Pero wala rin naman ako pakialam doon dahil gusto kong mapakasal sa kaniya. And no matter what I do, hindi pa rin iyon sapat sa kaniya. I felt that I wasn’t good enough in assuring her that it was only her. Ang hindi ko lang magawa ay ang saktan si Gladyss. She was a family friend. But I hate it that she was spreading such nonsense humor. Kung kanina’y malambing si Darya, ngayon, iba na ang ihip ng hangin. It frustrates me. Selosa siya. Heck, I was happy about it. It’s one of the things that I love about her. Pero hindi ko mapigilang masaktan. Dahil sa tuwing nagseselos siya,

Chapter: Chapter 20“Eat. Even if you're angry with me.” Cevier said. Nagluto siya ng kare-kare. Nanatili akong nakahiga sa kama maghapon. Ni hindi nga kami nagpapansinan e. “Wala akong gana.” He sighed. I felt his arms around my waist and he nuzzled into my neck. Para akong nabuhusan ng malamig na tubig. How can he still have this kind of effect on me? When I despise him for having an obsessive ex-fiancee. “Please?” I felt his nose on my neck, inhaling my scent. Mas lalo akong natunaw sa kaniyang bisig dahil sa ginawa niya. “I hate that you’re skipping meals because you’re mad. Please eat. Kanina ka pa walang kain.” We are still in his private villa. Mga ilang araw na kami rito dahil sa honeymoon. Hindi kami magkatabi matulog. Pumupunta lang siya dito kapag wala na siyang trabaho at para mag hatid ng pagkain. And in some instances, he would lay next to me and hug me. Thinking it would ease the anger that I felt for him. It did. Pero sa tuwing naaalala ko ‘yong babaeng ‘yon, hindi ko mapigilang

Chapter: Chapter 19“Cevier Montebella is spotted with the heiress, Gladyss Fererro kissing in the corridor of the high-end club in Taguig. Is this a sign of reconciliation between old lovers?”I saw the article pop-up. Pinindot ko iyon. I can almost hear my heartbeat. Pumikit ako ng mariin nang makita ang larawan na naroon sa article. Si Cevier na naka suot ng isang itim na suit, kissing Gladyss. He was wearing the tie I gave him while kissing his ex-fiancee. I couldn't believe it. But it wasn’t a surprise.Pumatak ang butil ng luha ko sa aking cellphone. He never failed to disappoint me. Hindi nalang sana ako naniwala na maaayos pa ito. “Naku, girl. Huwag kang umiyak masisira ang make up mo.” The make-up artist said.“Huy, Evan. Tulungan mo nga ako dito sa hair niya,”Tumayo si Evan galing sa sofa upang tulungan ang make-up artist. Tahimik akong nag-sccroll sa aking cellphone at nakitang may mga bagong articles na na release sa websites. “Excited nang matali si, Darya.” Biro ni Evan.That one articl

Chapter: Chapter 18Mataman kong tiningnan si Cevier. He looked so stern, but also frustrated. Ngumiti nalang ako at umiling, dismissing our conversation. I can’t…trust him right now. We both stayed quiet. Nakatingin nalang sa mga taong nagsasayaw sa harap namin. Hindi ko siya pinansin. Hanggang sa natapos na ang gabi. Hinatid niya nalang ako sa bahay namin. I just thanked him. Diretso ang lakad ko at hindi na siya sinulyapan muli.“Hi, ate.” Salubong ni Vien sa akin.How long has it been? She looks a bit mature now. Siguro’y hindi na kami nagkikita kaya ganoon nalang ako kagulat. She’s not in her favorite cartoon character pajamas anymore. She’s in her high school uniform and a light on her face. She’s wearing her glasses but I’ve noticed something different right now.“Hello, Vien.”“You’re out partying with your friends?” She asked.“Yes. Kasama ko sila Evan. How about you? How’s your day? I’ve noticed…you got your braces removed.”“I’m glad you noticed. Bagay ba sa akin?” She showed me her perfect

Chapter: Chapter 17"This is all your fault!" Napapikit ako nang naramdaman ang hapdi sa aking pisngi. I touched my cheek as tears fall down my cheeks. I looked at her like I was questioning my worth.Tinuro ako ni Mama. She is crying, her face is red, and she's also breathing heavily. "How can you be so selfish! Alam mong nababaon na tayo sa utang! Pero ano ang ginawa mo?! You broke the engagement!"I stared at my dearest mother, wide-eyed. Growing up, I looked up to her. Pero ngayon, I hate how she is. How she chose to raise me with tough love instead of gentle parenting.I hated how she made me feel so little. Na kahit sa isang bagay na dapat talaga ako ang magdedesiyon, ay hindi ko magawa!"Ma! Am I really that selfish to refuse the engagement? I have the right to! He cheated on me—""Pero malulugmok tayo sa kahirapan! Hindi ka ba nag-iisip?!"I stared at her helplessly."And instead of making a solution, you're going to sacrifice me?! Ma! I am your daughter! I am not your sacrificial lamb!"Isang

Chapter: Chapter 16Pinasundo ako ni Papa sa airport matapos ko siyang ni-text na pauwi na ako ng Pilipinas. He didn't ask why. Kinuha ni Manong Domeng ang aking maleta at nilagay sa likod ng sasakyan. Agad akong pumasok sa loob ng sasakyan.Pagka uwi ko sa bahay, wala si Mama at si Vien. Tanging si Papa lang ang sumalubong sa akin. Agad ko siyang niyakap. I hugged him for minutes until I started sobbing. He patted my back and ask."What happened?" Mas lalo pa akong umiyak. Hinaplos niya ang likod ko."Paano ko malalaman kung iiyak lang ang baby ko?" Umiling nalang ako at nagpatuloy sa pag hikbi. Nanatili siya sa ganoong ayos hanggang sa natapos ako. Somehow, hindi na gaano kabigat ang nararamdaman ko."Why are you back so soon, anak?" Umiling ako. He sighed and never asked again. Hinatid niya ako sa kwarto ko."Everything will be alright. If you don't wanna tell me, it's okay. If you want to cry, then cry. It's alright, anak." His words comforted me."T-thank you, Pa." my voice became raspy.He patted

Chapter: Chapter 25 “Where are you going?” He asked darkly.Napatalon ako roon. I was caught red-handed. Hindi ko inaasahan na ma-aabutan niya ako ngayon. Kung nagising siya ng wala ako, panigurado, sisisihin ko ang sarili ko dahil imbes na lumayo ako, may nangyari pa sa amin kagabi. “Come here.” He commanded.Parang tambol ang puso ko. Nakapagbihis na ako’t lahat-lahat. May hinanda na rin akong script sa kaniya kung sakaling puntahan niya na naman ako. Tapos ang usapan. Sasabihan ko siya na lalayuan ako at huwag ng guluhin pa.Pero ngayon, nasira ang plano ko. I was defeated. He knew it. Dahan-dahan akong lumapit sa kaniya. His arms wrapped around me and he slightly squeezed my body as his lips kissed the bridge of my nose, to my cheeks, and before it travelled to my lips to kiss me.“Are you trying to escape me?” He asks, eyes narrowing.I looked at him, guilty. “Hindi pa tapos ang usapan natin, Ember. Kaya huwag mong subukan na tumakas ulit dahil itatali na talaga kita sa kama ko.”Kinabahan ako sa

Chapter: Chapter 24HIDALGO’S P.O.V.KANINA pa ako nakatanaw kay Ember sa malayo nang may lumapit sa akin na pamilyar na mukha.It was Eden. The supermodel. Hindi ko alam kung ano talaga ang sadya niya pero alam ko kung nilalandi ako. At hindi ito bago sa akin. My eyes went to Ember's direction again. Nilapitan siya ng kaniyang pinsan at ni Cevier. Cevier’s a good business partner. But heck, right now, I want to punch him. May sinabi siya kay Ember na dahilan para tumingin ito sa direksyon ko.I saw the disappointed look on her face. Bago ito nagpatuloy sa pakikipag-usap sa kasama niya. While this girl in front of me couldn't take a hint.“You know, all you have to do is lay down…I'll do the rest.” Hinaplos niya ang dibdib ko at wala na akong ibang maramdaman kung hindi pangdidiri sa babae.I know that she's finding some ways just to lay down tonight. But I'm not interested. Kung kanina’y sumasagot ako sa hindi importanteng tanong niya, ngayon, nauubos na ang pasensya ko sa babaeng ito.“Look, I'm not in

Chapter: Chapter 23“I'm not here just to be your friend, Ember.”Narinig ko noong lumabas ang dalawa sa hotel room ko.I looked at his reflection in the Mirror. Seryoso ang kaniyang mukha at unti-unting naglakad patungo sa akin.Suminghap ako nang bigla niyang pinalandas ang kamay niya sa likod ko. It went from my nape to my lower back. Nanindig ang balahibo ko. Napalunok ako. It stopped at the top of the fabric of the dress.“The back of your dress is too low.” He growled.“Well, too bad, I love my dress, Hidalgo.”Hindi ko maiwasan sabihin iyon.I glared at him. Ano naman kung maikli ang backless na ‘yan? Umiling ako at tumayo na. Kakaaya ko lang sa kaniya na pumunta na kami sa venue kanina. E ngayon, parang gusto ko nalang mag-stay dito para kausapin siya.Hindi nalang siya nagsalita at sumunod nalang sa akin na lumabas ng room at naglakad papuntang elevator. Nang makarating sa Venue, agad din kaming dinumog ng mga kakilala. Kaso lang, nagkalayo kami ni Hidalgo dahil may mga iilang mga importanting t

Chapter: Chapter 22This is absurd.I know that this is a crazy idea. Nakaupo ako ngayon sa isang table ng high end na restaurant. Hidalgo was in front of me, giving his orders to the waiter. Sinalinan ako ng tubig ng isa pang waiter na lumapit sa amin.I stared at it for the whole time he was talking to the other waiter. “What do you want?” Napatingin ako sa kaniya.“Pasta, please.”He stared at me for a second. I froze. For a moment, he seemed like a deer stuck in headlights. My hands were shaking when I grabbed the glass filled with water. I took a sip on it, hoping that it would calm my nerves.“I wanted to talk about what happened-”“There’s nothing to talk about, Mr. Edralin.”“Hidalgo,” He corrected. He looked at me sternly. Animo’y kaunting panunuya ko ay may gagawin siyang hindi tama para sa akin.“Engr. Hidalgo.”Suminghap siya. It was a long, long, sigh that it bothered me.“You say my name like we didn’t share something…”“And I choose to forget all that, Mr. Hidalgo. That was a year ago. D

Chapter: Chapter 21It was easy to manage the company dahil pinalaki naman ako para mamahala sa kompanya. But forgetting him was the worst. It had been one year yet my dreams were still filled with him. With us. Na pati pag-idlip ko’y takot ako.Hawak ko ang kwintas na binigay niya sa akin. Sa tuwing nangungulila ako para sa kaniya ay lagi kong sugot iyon. This was not I expected when I thought I could forget him. Napapikit ako no’ng tumama sa akin ang pang-umagang araw. Nagpasya nalang ako na maligo at mag bihis para sa trabaho.“Oh, I hired a new driver. Umalis na kasi ‘yong dating driver natin, Hija. You should bring him and…I’ll double your security discreetly. I don't want anything to happen to you.”“Okay, Pa. Uminom ka rin ng maintenance mo.” I said. Bago nginuya ang adobong manok.“Hija,” tawag niya. His eyes were gentle. Nilapag ko ang kubyertos. He held my hand and squeezed it.“Pa,” Napatingin ako sa kaniya.“I know it's too much to ask this but…I want a grandchild. Malapit na akong mamatay

Chapter: Chapter 20Pinanood ko ang mga kahoy na nadaanan namin. Sakto lang ang bilis ng pag-andar ng sasakyan. Mang Carl was quiet as we drove past Cervantes. Si Manang Berta ay nasa tabi ko. Nagpumilit siyang sumama dahil gusto niya akong ihatid sa bahay naming sa Maynila. Mga ilang oras din ang biyahe namin bago nakarating sa aming exclusive village.“Good afternoon, Ma’am!” The guard that usually greets me, looked at me with his eyes wide. May sinabi siya sa walkie talkie bago kami tuluyan na pinapasok.Everything was familiar. I’ve been here before. I’ve known the guards. This was the village that I grew up to. The memories, all of it, came back, flashing in my mind. And then I wondered, paano si Papa? How did he survive all those months knowing that his daughter was nowhere to be found? Ni kahit isang bangkay man lang ay wala. It was difficult, I’m sure.Huminto ang sasakyan sa isang pamilyar na modern mansion. Lumabas na ako sasakyan. Ang iilang mga kasambahay ay napahinto sa pagwawalis ng mga tu
