Chapter 53

Silence filled the whole dining room, maybe even our breathing was too shy to disturb the profound silence, that's why I couldn't hear it. My gaze kept shifting between the engagement ring and.. Kent. NO! What I mean is.. uhh.. to.. to Aria and the engagement ring, I sighed, and then returned to my seat.

"So you're engaged?" Jiro was the first to break the silence. I nodded.

"Is she?" Aria asked, this time directing her attention to Kenzo. She immediately caught my irritation. I felt a surge of annoyance within me. It seemed like she wanted to take Kenzo away from me as well. I gripped my spoon and fork tighter, and without thinking twice--

"Why? Do you also want to steal him from me?" I asked her without any concern. I met her gaze, and I clearly saw the surprise in her eyes. She quickly looked away and focused on her food.

"Kylie," Dad called me. Maybe he's trying to stop me from whatever--

"I am just asking.." she replied softly.

"Kylie, my dear, why didn't you even tell

    Chapter 56"Even stray cats on the street are taken in by kind-hearted people who notice them, but me, Kent! You left me hanging! No one noticed me to help me! No one! And now you're telling me you're disappointed?! I'm even more disappointed in you! After everything you did to comfort me when Jiro betrayed me, after making me fall for you, you suddenly marry Aria?! Did you even think about what would happen to me when you and Aria got married? Kent, you said you loved me too! I believed you! I believed.."I ended up sitting on the floor. Tears streamed down my face, and I kept wiping them away with the back of my hand. I tried to calm myself to let out all the pain and everything I wanted to say to him, the thoughts that I've kept hidden in my mind for two years."You didn't just break my heart two years ago, but everything about me. I was too wrecked to think about what to do next after you and Aria got married. All I knew was that I had to numb the pain inside my chest. I couldn't

    Chapter 57"And what does Aria's mom do for a living?" Manang Renee took a deep breath and smiled at me, but I could see the sadness in her eyes. She feels sorry for Aria's mom? But why?"My child... she's a good girl. My daughter met your dad because she used to come to your mom's house often to help with the laundry. My daughter and your mom were childhood friends, and my daughter had everything your mom had, thanks to your grandparents who helped her finish her studies. But I never expected her to get used to the luxuries your mom and your grandparents provided. That's why she started going out every night and coming home in the early morning because she was working. At first, she told me she was working at a twenty-four-hour convenience store, what was it called? Seven-eleven. I trusted her, so even though I was worried about her safety, I allowed her. She said she wanted to help me with her education expenses. But it turns out she wasn't really working at the seven-eleven, she wa

    Chapter 58"What are you doing here?" I asked him with annoyance. I also wanted to ask how he found Kenzo's address, but I decided to keep my mouth shut. He didn't say anything, he just kept staring at me."Kent!" I scolded him."Psh," he responded."What do you want from me?" I asked him irritably."Here," he said, handing me a lavender-colored binder."What's this for?" I asked, flipping through the binder. There were no writings in it yet, and there was a sign pen included, indicating that it was newly bought."I heard from your mom that you're going back to school, and today is your first day," he said, and my heart started beating faster. The butterflies in my stomach slowly returned. I tightened my grip on the binder, trying to suppress what I was feeling at the moment.Kylie, listen. You need to stop what you're feeling right now! Aria needs Kent more than you do! Remember what Manang Renee told you.I shook my head and handed the binder back to him. "Thank you, but I don't nee

    Chapter 59"Urgh! Why is there no signal here?!" I shouted in frustration at the beach. I couldn't even count how many times I raised and rotated my phone just to catch a signal, but there was none!"You're just wasting your energy, Wife. There's no cell site here," Kent replied to me. I glared at him and hopelessly sat down in the sand. We both gazed out at the vast ocean.I wiped my hands on my face and then threw my phone into the water. It's completely useless here on this island that Kenzo's chopper brought me to.I should have known better! Last night, when I heard Kent's voice in the background of Kenzo's call, I should have suspected that they were up to something no good!"God! Kenzo, why did you agree to conspire with this wretched person?! When we meet again, I won't stop pinching you!" I finally lay down on the sand. I sighed."What are you planning, Kent? When are you going to return me to Kenzo?" I asked, with my arm covering my eyes. I don't know, I just can't help but

    Chapter 60"Urgh! Feeling!" I shouted inside my room and messed up my hair. "I know, and I am sure you'll love me soon." Until now, Kent's words to me haven't left my mind."I won't let you deceive me anymore, you fool!" I lay down on my bed with my arms and legs spread. I sighed. There's no cell service here, so my phone is useless, although I don't even have a phone anymore. I threw it into the ocean. I just sighed in frustration.If my phone is still there, it's probably already soaked with seawater. I sighed again. There are no electricity poles, but there's light. Then I realized something."If there's electricity here, it means there's a generator, and for the generator to work, it needs foil. For sure, Kent has some way of communication with someone out there. I just need to know what it is. A satellite phone? It can be." I nodded to myself, pondering."But where would I find that satellite phone? He wouldn't just leave it anywhere. Maybe it's in his room? But how can I get in

    Chapter 61"I am still in love with you, Wife." I stopped kissing him when he said that."Wife?" he questioned moments later, trying to catch my lips again, but I involuntarily avoided it. He cupped both my cheeks in his hands and caught my gaze."W-what about Aria?" I asked him, averting my eyes."Wife, please... let's not talk about someone who isn't here.""But Kent, she's your wife!" I answered him. God! He's cheating on me with Aria. It feels like everything has flipped. If Jiro cheated on me with Aria before, now I am cheating with Aria's husband, who happens to be Kent."This is so wrong," I added, about to get up from sitting on his thigh when Kent embraced me."Please, Wife, don't go," he pleaded, his voice filled with desperation."But Kent, this is wrong!" I firmly replied to him. "Jiro cheated on me with Aria before, and we both know that. You saw how hurt and devastated I was, right? The same thing will happen to Aria when she finds out about this and if we continue. Plea

    Chapter 62"Kenzo..." I hugged Kenzo tightly, and he hugged me back."Baby..." I bit my lower lip to prevent myself from crying. I faced him and saw the sadness in his eyes."Baby, you don't have to do this. You know I love you, and if I have to let you go for Ken..." I cut him off."Yes, I know you love me, and please take me home now.""But..." I looked straight into his eyes and..."Please." He sighed and slowly nodded, but before we could enter his chopper, I heard my name from behind."Kylie!" I turned around, and tears started flowing when I saw Kent, topless, obviously just waking up, wearing only khaki shorts. He immediately ran towards the beach where Kenzo's chopper was parked."Wife," he called me with sadness in his voice. He wasn't wearing any slippers. I clenched my fists and looked away. He approached me, taking my hands in his and kissing the back of them."Enough, Kent," I told him."Kylie... Wife, I love you." He took me away from Kenzo's embrace and hugged me tightl

    Chapter 63I closed the book I was reading and placed it on the bedside table when I heard Kenzo's footsteps, freshly dressed after coming out of our bathroom. I couldn't help but smile when I saw him."So you really dressed inside?""Maybe you'd attack me if I changed here, Baby." I burst into laughter."You're so full of yourself!" I said to him, throwing a pillow at him, but he quickly caught it. I screamed when he jumped on the bed and relentlessly tickled me."HAHA! Okay, Kenzo! HAHA! HAHAHA!" I was almost out of breath when he finally let me go, and I was gasping for air."Haha. Baby, your tickling is still unbeatable." I glared at Kenzo and straddled him. He was leaning against the headboard, and I wrapped my hands around his neck. I knew he knew I was going to kiss him, but..."Ouch!" Kenzo exclaimed because I pinched both his cheeks. This time, it was me who was laughing uncontrollably while my hands were still pinching his cheeks."What? You're going to tickle me again?" Wel

    EndingI didn't know what to say to Aiden. I was happy and hurting at the same time. Happy because I could feel and hear Aiden's endless love for me, and hurting because I needed to be with Arden."I'm sorry, Aiden, you can't change my mind. Arden... Arden needs me more than you do."When I looked at the left side of my body, I noticed there was a cast from my fingers down to my arm. That's why I was in so much pain earlier; I had broken a bone! What's going to happen now? How am I going to go to school? How will I manage my daily routine with a broken left hand? And I'm left-handed!"But when I received Mia's call, I also left the site immediately to see you," Ero said without pause."This is nothing... just a small accident," I replied. I noticed Ero's eyebrows furrow and a hint of annoyance in his response, as if he was about to explode in anger."If it was just a small accident, why are you here in the hospital? Have you seen your hand? Why is it in a cast? Why didn't Manang Ameli

    "Kendall, break up with Jacobo. I swear, if you choose me over him, you won't regret a single thing. I am single and not married. I am all yours, you have no rival." But I guess Kendall is really a stubborn girl."Mom, I'm sure they don't see each other anymore. Dad must be busy with his work, and it's only six PM. Wait for him until seven. I'll call him for you, so stop worrying. Alright?" I told Mommy. Fortunately, she stopped crying and agreed to what I said. Sigh.Mommy is getting more stressed because of Kendall and Dad, and I really-really need to do something. The doctor said that it's bad for Mom's health to get stressed, and she should avoid it, but she can't help it because she always gets paranoid when Dad comes home late.I need to keep Kendall occupied, and if it means I have to be with her most of the time, then so be it. I know it sounds weird, but being with her feels so good. Damn. I think it's getting serious. I should hate her, right? She's Dad's mistress. She's a f

    "I don't know what I am missing for her to dislike me. I am good looking, and I am sure of that! I am also rich, and when I have my Dad's company, I'll be wealthier than her. I can give her everything that she wants and needs, no matter what it is—no matter how expensive, I will buy it for her, as long as she chooses me and doesn't run away just to be with Dad."Then, I gulped down the Jack Daniels I ordered. Instead of putting it in a shot glass, I drank it straight from the bottle. I want to get drunk to forget about Kendall. It's so f ucking weird. There's a painful feeling in my chest whenever I think about Kendall leaving me!"Dude, don't tell me you're attracted to your Dad's woman?" Liam suddenly asked me. I stopped drinking and met his gaze.Seriously?! I am attracted to Kendall? Hell no! I'm feeling like this because... uh—right! My ego is being stepped on! I'm hotter than Dad, for sure. I mean, look at me and Dad; I'm more masculine than him! It's just annoying because Kenda

    Urgh! I didn't know Kendall could also get on my nerves. How dare she say I have HIV, STDs, and other things just because I have multiple partners. Psh. It's not my fault that girls are pursuing me, okay?"You're just wasting your bras," I said to her as I stared at her chest. I smirked when I saw her cheeks turn red.She even crossed her arms over her chest, and I couldn't help but wickedly smile. Feeling uncomfortable? Well, you started it."You're only an A. Why wear a bra when you could go without one? Besides, you're flat-chested." And I burst out laughing.She called me a pervert, but seriously, she has to do her job now. I'm getting annoyed with the women who keep coming to the office, claiming that I impregnated them. Damn it! I'm a boy scout!Am I always attracting trouble? I can't understand why they're pinning their unborn children on me. I'm sure I'm not the only guy they've been with!But damn it! Kendall is really stubborn! It's hard to persuade her.

    "I love you too, Hon. Yes, I'll see you tomorrow. Don't worry, I told my wife that I have a dinner meeting, so she's not expecting me to be home later." Daddy nodded on the other end of the line."Alright. I can't wait to see you later. I love you. I'll hang up now." Daddy pocketed his phone. I don't know what to say. Seriously, I am f*cking speechless at the moment. Mom is right! Dad has a mistress!"Son?" Daddy called me. I composed myself as I faced him and pretended that I just arrived. "Have you been waiting long?" he asked. I immediately shook my head. I don't want him to know that I just found out about his dirty little secret."I just came. I'm here for this." I showed him the folder I was holding. He returned to his table and sat down. I approached him and casually placed the folder on his table. He furrowed his brows at my action."Sorry, it slipped from my hand," I said and shrugged. "Why didn't you just send it to your secretary?" he asked me. I couldn't help but wonder wh

    I quickly returned to my house to find out who arrived. Maybe it was one of Sydney or Kourtney's boyfriends? I wondered to myself. How sweet of them to come all the way to my house. Sigh.I couldn't help but feel envious again. I'm sure one of them is overjoyed right now because her beloved came to visit her, and of course, she's loved in return. True love, unlike what Ero and I had. I was the only one who truly loved.I entered the house and was surprised to see two tall men in suits and ties, looking like bodyguards.Wow, one of Kourtney or Sydney's boyfriends even has bodyguards. Is he that wealthy? Or is there someone who wants to harm him?"Kourt... Syd, who's our visitor?" I shouted from the entrance. It seemed like these bodyguards didn't care. They didn't even react when I shouted to call Kourtney.Kourtney and Sydney quickly came out of the kitchen. Kourtney had a glass of juice while Sydney carried a tray of snacks. Their reactions were incomprehensible. They seemed tense, a

    Kourtney paused in picking up my clothes and asked if Ero and I had a fight, to which I quickly shook my head."So what does this mean? You just... want to run away?" Sydney asked, still unsure. I nodded and was about to react when I raised my left hand to explain to them."Girls, I am such a b*tch for doing this, but you have to understand that I just fell in love." They raised their eyebrows at my statement. I knew they didn't fully grasp what I was saying, but thankfully, they remained silent. It would be harder to explain if they bombarded me with questions before I finished explaining."We all know that I was left behind. My mom and dad left me to be with their own families, and their spouses didn't want me. Luckily, you were there, so even though I didn't have my mom and dad, I wasn't that sad because I had you, until that day when I met Jacobo.""Who is Jacobo?" Sydney asked."Jacobo is my boyfriend... I meant, my ex-boyfriend.""What? How come we didn't know about him? And all

    "Mom just called and she wants me back at work tomorrow morning." Oh right, we've been overstaying here at the beach. Initially, we planned to stay until Sunday, but we extended it for two more days and one night because we got married here."We can go back now." I said to him as I caressed his back. I heard him sigh and then he faced me, gave me a peck, and touched our foreheads together."But..." He didn't continue what he was about to say, he avoided eye contact and pouted. I furrowed my brows. What's wrong? Why is my cute husband acting all cute? Woo! I can't help but feel kilig when I call him my husband.Until now, I still can't believe that Ero and I are married. I held both of his cheeks and faced him towards me."But what?" I asked him. He averted his gaze again, but I quickly caught his eyes. What's up with him? Oh my, this man! He's so big but acts so cute! Hmp!"We haven't made love yet." He whispered softly, but it was enough for me to hear, and I couldn't help but smile.

    "Oh, fine. Let's get serious then. What kind of assurance is it?" I asked him."Kendall, I want to keep you forever. Don't worry, I'll make you fall in love with me soonest. The kind of love that you can't even think of leaving me. The kind of love that will last even when death comes and keeps us apart. I want to prove to you that forever really exists."I instinctively covered my mouth with both hands and tears began to flow uncontrollably as Ero suddenly knelt in front of me, and the singer approached with a rose in hand.The guy who was playing the instrument earlier was holding a diamond ring this time. The diamond on it was so big that my eyes widened in surprise. I'm not exaggerating, but it's really huge."E-Ero, what if we get mugged? The diamond is so big," I said, trying to hold back my laughter, but he glared at me, and I immediately made a peace sign. I don't want Ero to devour me alive. Hehe."Oh, fine, let's get serious.
