“Who would drive me to that place, then?” The man furrowed his brows as his hold on her wrist tightened. Dalmi tried wagging her hands to get away from his hold, but the man seemed like he was determined not to make her succeed in going away. His vision darkened, and for seconds, Dalmi thought it was one of the things she wanted to avoid: his piercing black eyes.
It sent shivers down her spine, and his stare seemed like it was hypnotizing her to stop.
“I...I don’t know! Who the hell could drive from Manila to Batangas and back within just a day? I am not getting any dime from this, Carden!” she protested.
How could one be so harsh? If only she knew that the man’s help woul

BBAP CHAPTER 115“I have never seen something like this for years…” Dalmi whispered to herself as she stared at the scenery in front of her. She stayed for six long years in Chicago, but working while taking care of her child deprived her of trips like this and now that she could see it in front...no words could describe how satisfying it was.The blue lining from earlier was now blue-green saltwater. The sun was up, and the salty breeze invaded her nose as she watched how the waves rolled back and forth, crashing the rocks and the shore and then going back. It was a repetitive scene, but it was some kind of unique music that she would be willing to watch and listen to as long as she could.The last time she went to a palace like this, she had no time to enjoy it, for she mourned for the freedom that Carden stole from her. Now, the sea and this familiar smell felt like it was the one who brought her a slight glimpse of it. Was she tired
Bound by a Prank Chapter 116: The Woman She didn't Expected To Be
BBAP CHAPTER 116Dalmi’s fear mounted every second that passed by. Seeing the same pair of eyes who used to be friendly and joyous were now laced with seriousness, query...and doubt. Her heart lurched, and the fear grew bigger and bigger as the creeping silence covered the gap between them. The crashing waves and the birds flying on top of them transformed into a setting like that of the horror movies she watched.“It was not the main reason as to why I brought you here...Dalmi,” the woman said in a low voice. If looks could kill, the woman’s strict, dark orbs could probably murder her with no sweat and doubt,Dalmi had the desire to leave and run away from the woman. She didn't know why she was as frightened as this, but seeing how the woman looked right now made her remember her feelings earlier. She thought, she feared being alone in such a big mansion. Turns out, the one she should fear was the unknown person walking beside her for a
Bound by a Prank Chapter 117: As Rained Pour, so as the Memories
BBAP CHAPTER 117Of all the days it would rain, why does it have to be this day?That was what Dalmi asked herself when she felt the droplets of water falling on her hands. Mixed emotions came rushing inside her. Anger, embarrassment, frustrations. All of it was mixed up, but the rain seemed like it wanted to tell her that it was okay to cry, and if she was ashamed, he could go with and cry with her.She was afraid to cry, for she wasn’t sure why. She was angry at Carden for two reasons: because he didn’t tell her that he’d stay for days and he let her drive to this island and because he told someone about their past, making her appear as if she was the bad one.Dalmi had always been understanding of all the things he did from the past, and if he only didn’t hurt her as much as she could endure back then, she must’ve been with him until now.“It wasn’t like that, Dalmi. I know how bad you wanted to go
Bound by a Prank Chapter 118: We Need To Stay
BBAP CHAPTER 118“Let’s go back now,” Dalmi finally said after a few minutes of calming herself down. And at that time, Carden didn’t let go of her, nor even talk. He just stayed there, caressing her hair as she continued to cry herself. Right now, she could already predict what her face looked like.If Amanda and Jaime Bermundo will throw her even a glance, they would probably find out that she cried. She was just thankful that it was raining, and that her tears were not that visible for the droplets mixed with the water falling down her face, along with it.“If you no longer want to go back there, we could just go to the car. I have some spare clothes that you can change into and we can drive back to the city.”If she was in her right mind, she would gladly oblige and walk with him. But now that her breathing was ragged and her gasps wouldn't stop because of her loud sobs earlier, she couldn't. Her eyes were puffy, an

BBAP CHAPTER 119 “I know you badly want to go home, I will be the one to call your parents and let them know you are safe here. I just didn’t want to go into any trouble. If we ever leave tonight, we need to make sure we are safe.” Dalmi didn’t know what to say. After eating in silence for a couple of minutes, Jaime just told her they couldn’t leave and now, Carden was telling her that there was a typhoon hitting South Luzon and it would be better if they stay inside the house even for two days before they can go home. Does fate favor this man more than her? Because as much as she wanted to avoid him, the more she was getting closer. It was just so frustrating that she had to stay here instead of driving back home and she had no choice but to follow. With a heavy and unwilling heart, she let out a deep, long sigh. What else could she do if these people are just concerned about their future state? She would prefer to endure days inside this big house i

BBAP CHAPTER 120Dalmi didn’t know how she would explain to her father when he was not in front of him. If she was the old Dalmi Arizona who didn’t care about her father’s shouts and yells, she now realized how important it was, and to know that she’ll get scolded when she’s already twenty-nine was both embarrassing and frightening.“I...I didn’t want to stay here longer but-”“Why do you sound like you are nervous?” Damiar Arizona spoke on the other line, halting her from her words. Her brows creased in confusion.“What are you saying? I know you were angry! Of course, I need to come clean and-”“I was saying t
Bound by a Prank Chapter 121: We Don't Need Your Love
BBAP CHAPTER 121What the hell was she talking about?It was what Carden could ask himself after he heard her words. He didn’t have time to ask her, for her already when he got back his sanity from long seconds of gaping.He still couldn't get it. Of all people, he knew that he was infertile and he couldn't give her a child so how come he was the real father of the child she beared? His heart hammered loud and fast. He couldn’t think of how it became possible when it was clear to the doctor that he was infertile. It was impossible!But it has been years...the woman should be tired of lying by now, and he could see from her eyes the hatred and rage from all that he said earlier. The way she revealed the one she has been talking to was not his husband but a child...and he was the real father.He messed his hair. He wanted to come after her, but his mind was confused. What would he say to her? He can’t even believe it!With hi

BBAP CHAPTER 122At that very moment, Dalmi realized that Carden Thompson was a complete jerk. How can one be so insecure about himself and doesn’t believe in his own ability? She knew he was infertile, but it has been years and it still hasn’t occurred in his mind that there was no way she would cheat in their relationship?Shaking her head, she went back to her room and reached for her phone on the bedside table. She sat at the edge of the bed and searched for Jack's number in her phone and called him. When she put it on her ear, her eyes drifted towards the glass window. She could see from the small gap between the mirror and the curtain that the rain was still pouring outside, but compared to what they had earlier after she took a bath, it was better.“Dalmi! Where are you?” Brooke’s worried voice rang before her ears, making her move the phone far from her ears as she listened to the woman. “We have a typhoon and you are

Chapter 143: When They Thought Things were fixed “This is why I don’t trust you, Carden. I don’t want my child to marry someone as incompetent as you.” The way the old lady said it to him felt like it was a dagger sent to his chest. To hear his wife’s mother those words were too painful to swallow, and his mind couldn't accept. “You...don’t trust me? Auntie, I was just worried about my son!” “Because you know you cannot protect him! You know you can’t protect your family because you are incompetent! I already knew you are that kind of man when I met you!” Carden had never thought that Dalmi’s mother could be like this. Never in his entire life, he had imagined for one of the

Cold sweat numbed her fingers, and her heart hammered fast.“D-Denver is w-what?” as if she suddenly became deaf, she tapped her ears with her hands.“D-Denver is missing, Dalmi-”“How the hell would that happen, Carden? You were with him!” she yelled when it dawned on her. She was expecting the man to deny it, or to say that he was just joking and would laugh, but she was wrong!Her eyes turned sharp, and her cheeks burned in anger. “Tell me you are joking right now, Carden! Bring him to me or you’ll never want to experience my anger!&rd

Chapter 141: Where is He?“Mommy! When will Daddy come to pick us up?” Denver pouted his lips and forcibly leaned his back on the couch. It was a Saturday morning and Carden was promised to bring him to the mall and play.It has been a month since that night, and everything was going smoothly. She thought the man was just joking and that he only said it to her because they finished making love, but after a week, with a velvet box and diamond ring in his hand, he proposed to her.It was the second time that they will get married but at that very moment, it felt like it was the first...and it really was. Because they started at a forced marriage and although they had an engagement, there was no love and meaning behind it compared to how it was at that time.Until now, she couldn't believe that she would once again marry Carden Thompson. In a span of a week, the preparations started. The first week became busier than she thought, for it was the t

Chapter 140Carden crossed his arms as he leaned his back at the wall. It was past eleven, and Denver and Dalmi were already in a deep slumber; however, he still couldn’t get himself to sleep.He was standing on Dalmi’s veranda, his back leaning on the wall and his eyes gazing at the deep, night sky. His disheveled hair kept on dancing with the cold wind as if it was upbeat music that won’t stop his hair from moving sideways, but he didn’t mind, for the only thing he wanted right now was to enjoy the peacefulness of the night.Up until now, he still couldn't believe that everything was falling into their right places. Denver accepted him as his father, he and Dalmi were fine...and they’re gonna sleep on the same roof tonight. It felt nostalgic and surreal, like a dream...and he was scared it might be taken away once he wakes up tomorrow because he didn’t want to fall asleep.“I thought you were asleep,” he s

Chapter 139Carden Thompson’s eyes widened when the kid held on to the hem of his shirt.“Are you going to go here again tomorrow?” he asked with his puppy eyes, as though he was telling him to say yes.Did Carden hear it right? Did Denver really call him his daddy or he was just dreaming?“Can you...can you repeat what you just said earlier?” he said. His eyes are still wide from the shock as he glimpsed at Dalmmi who also mirrored what he felt right now.Ecstasy, shock, disbelief...all of it was mixed up in his heart that he didn't know how he would react.“I am asking if you wil

Chapter 138“Mommy! Someone ate my Banana Split!” Denver cried and gripped the white comforter. Tears cascading down his chubby cheeks as his face reddened in anger.“I asked Yaya Linda to find it in the refrigerator but she said there was nothing!”No matter how she tried to act like she was sad about his loss, she couldn't. The kid just said that he didn’t like it in front of Carden, now that he was gone, he was searching for it?“I thought you don’t like it? Why are you asking Yaya to find it for you?” She wanted to laugh, but she knew her child would cry more if she did so she just touched his hair, pushing it upwards to see the whole of his face.

Chapter 137Dalmi’s jaw dropped when she saw how Denver put the spoon down and crossed his arms like a grown-up man. The kid, who obviously looked like he enjoyed the first two scoops when he was tasting it, now looked as though he had tasted the worst banana split he ever had.“I-is he serious?” She shifted her gaze towards Carden who just picked up the spoon and sat at the seat where Denver sat earlier. He picked a portion of the desert and acted as if she was now in front of him.“Carden! Aren’t you offended that your child didn’t like what you did?” she furrowed her brows. If her son was already weird, she already knew that he got it from his father. Instead of thinking as to why Denver had to walk out, he just eats the leftovers! She glared at him.“Why? Should I be sad that Denver walked out?”“Yes! He just said he doesn’t like it!” she retorted and crossed her arms.

Chapter 136“No! Papa Johannes is my father!” the kid’s yell made Dalmi go back to reality. She was then, in gape and shock of the sudden revelation earlier, and seeing how her son ran away from them made her heart hurt.“Denver!” She called and was about to chase after him when he realized that Craden didn’t stand up and that he was still standing on his knees.“Carden, I’m sorry... i'll try to talk to him and explain things,” she said in a troubled voice and sighed. “I told you we can’t just say this to him in a rush, I know Denver would freak out…” she shook her head.But the man just let out a burst of low laughter before he stood up and clapped his hand to clear off the dust.“I don’t want to lie, Dalmi...I am hurt, but I will never give up on him. I promise I will wash off every memory from that man until he accepts me as his father.”That
