Forget About Me, Billionaire 40: Dangerous
CHRISTY:My hand started to get cold. After seeing how Everette’s mom looked at me, and how Clara hated me, it was enough to say I wouldn’t be going to their family dinner. Why would I pretend that I wanted to be there when in fact I did not? I was always not good at faking everything, especially when it comes to people. And I was certain his Mom would only want his child and was only forced to ask me to join because I was Everette’s plus one.“Kitten, Mom, and the rest of my family were already expecting us. The elders wanted to meet you.”Was he certain his Mom was included? I did not think so. “What’s the point of having that dinner?” To fake myself? To put myself on display for their judgments, I asked, stood, and went to look for a rug to clean the table. I put the peelings in the trash while shaking my head. I put up with going with him before because Poppy and Sebastian were there, waiting for us. But this so-called dinner? There was no Poppy. I would only put myself in an a

CHRISTY: I must keep my distance around him or I will be crying in the end. For the nth time. Whenever I loved someone, it was I who always cried whenever we broke up. This man…if he kept on doing this, I should never be blamed if I fall for him.And if you truly fell for this man, what would happen to you? No one loved you for real, Christina. All they cared about was what you could offer to them in return and that was it.I wanted my heart to rest even for a bit. “Touch me and you are dead,” I threatened. He grinned from ear to ear. “Please don’t kill me, kitten. I have a lot of things to do. A lot will cry when I die.”Lucky him while I? No one would shed tears for me when I left this world. It was only Poppy and Kelly and their baby. “This feels like a date,” I commented all of a sudden without thinking about it and it was already too late when I realized what I just said.My cheeks flamed and I just wanted to hide under the table. Everette gave me his signature warming smil
Last Updated : 2024-02-29Forget About Me, Billionaire 42: Ben (Part 2)
CHRISTY: It took a few rings before Ben picked up the call. Then, his face flashed in. His once neat face already looked like a lawn with tall grass. His eyes told me he had not experienced a life full of luxury. It was tiring as if he was barely hanging. But the most important part was that he was well.Before, I was already imagining what our meeting would be like after he ran away. I imagined I would hate him for leaving me, but maybe it was only because of my emotions. Now…I felt relief that he was well and alive. Still…there was an ounce of some emotions which I could not pinpoint. “Hey,” Ben declared, hesitating. I did not know what I would say to him. Whether I would scold him for leaving me alone or scream at the top of my lungs until he realized what he had done. My hands trembled and forced my hands to steady. A long silence filled it. It was awkward and I did not know how to break it. There were a lot of things I wanted to ask, but I did not know where to start. “Hey,

CHRISTY:I almost had a heart attack when Everette suddenly talked. My heart beat wildly against my ribcage as I clutched my chest. In my irritation, I slapped him on his shoulders. “You nearly killed me. Do you hate me so much that you want to kill me?”He flinched but did not move away.He looked at me with a knotted forehead. “It was not my intention.”“It is your intention,” I answered. “Don’t do that.”He chuckled. “Rest easy, okay? I promise I will not scare you again.”Everette sat and yawned. “Are you done talking to your brother?”“His name is Ben.”He thought for a moment and said, “Ben? Why did your parents never mention him?”It was no longer a surprise after what happened. During the first family dinner with the family, Ben was not there, and the Watson family believed that I was an only child. “Isn’t it obvious? They did not want anything to do with him. They already disowned my brother after he ran away from his supposed obligations in the company. He ran because Mom

CHRISTY:I thought I would be able to sleep since Everette was no longer sleeping beside me, but I was wrong. My mind kept on wondering if he was able to sleep on the couch. Shit. Was it my fault now? He was the one who thought I was a slut and that was one of the most painful things I could ever hear from someone. And I was not expecting it to hear from Everette whom I trusted so much.Still…was he comfortable on the couch? He had work to do and sleep was the best thing that he could do to regain his strength.I rolled on my back.I was always sensitive when it came to my ex-boyfriend, especially if someone thought I was a slut. They always reminded me of Mom who said I always spread my legs whenever I wanted to.I got out of bed.“I will only drink water,” I muttered to myself and sat on the bed. Then, I looked for my slippers stepped out of my room, and went downstairs while constantly saying I was only getting some water.Liar. You want to check on him. I am not. I did not care

EVERETTE:"How many times will I tell you to change the font? Make this presentation presentable!" I growled while throwing the bundle of papers on the floor.Levi was at the corner watching the scene take place. My head felt like it was going to burst from the stress. “I'm so sorry, Mr. Watson. I will just repeat them.”“You better do that or you will be firing you next.”The woman sniffed. “Mr. Watson. Take pity on my child. She is still attending school and if I lost my job, I don't know where I would be able to get funds. While you are at it, please help me.”The woman seemed like she was already ready to cry but held herself. Levi shook his head while glancing at the woman.Did I feel sorry? I was not. Those crocodile tears would not make me feel sorry. The woman’s lips trembled while I massaged my neck. Any minute now, she will be crying. She might be thinking I was the devil, which I did not care at all. My head had been aching for quite some time while my eyes wandered to C

CHRISTY:As soon as I sent the message, Everette replied faster than I expected asking the location. I was about to reply to him, but then he called as if he could no longer wait for my text. “You want to see me?” Everette asked, not bothering to hide his excitement.I sat upright as my drowsiness disappeared upon hearing his voice.“T-that’s what I want.”“Are you no longer mad at me? Did you see the food on the table? I cooked them for you. May I know what time you woke up? I wanted to send you a message, but you won’t ever reply to me. I thought you’re not the type to reply right away.”“We can talk about it when we meet.”“I will ask Levi to fetch you.”“Why would he when I already have my car. "I have a car. I want to be with Happiness." "Levi can drive.""I will be the one driving it. Don't you dare decide for me, Everett. I did not give you the power to."Silence flowed between the line that I could hear the sharp intake of breath. "Sorry," he muttered under his breath. "Tell

CHRISTY:"I trusted you, but when it comes to people around you, I don't trust them.” He trusted me despite how I treated him. A lump formed in my throat. “Why do you trust me?” I asked with difficulty. Maybe it was because I was never good to him. Everette smiled sadly. “When I was small, the house helper whom we thought was loyal to the family was the one who nearly got me killed. No. At first, it was an attempted kidnap, but the other house helper was able to see me while I hid in my closet," Everette said.My mouth gaped open.“Is that true?”He gave me a curt nod. Why did I not know about that painful history?It was because you never asked about it and you’re only good at fighting with him. "What happened next?""She was killed when my parents found out her location. I was crying back then, pleading with her that I don't want to go with her.”“She must have not listened to you.”“My cries were not heard and to stop me from talking, she broke my fingers.”I gasped. “That

CHRISTY:Then Everette's eyes snapped open.I held my breath as I stared at his beautiful eyes."Kitten...""You're awake. Are you done pretending that you were asleep?" I asked softly, already tired of fighting with him. A year of hiding from him only made my love for him grow even stronger.My heart yearned for him, and seeing him after a year, I felt like I had become whole again.He sat while I snatched my hand away and put it on my lap."You still love me," he commented."I did not say anything like that," I denied, averting my gaze. "Yes, you did. I heard you say one, Kitten.""It was only your dream, Everette. You did sleep, right? You were dreaming earlier."Touching my chin, he forced me to look at him. My toes curled. Yes. I still loved this man. A year of not seeing him made me want to jump at him and kiss him like crazy and have lots and lots of sex as if to make up for the lost time. My hands yearned to touch his face and traced the outline of his cheeks. Everette le

CHRISTY: When you least expected someone, you would meet that someone. I thought my husband had already gone home like what Poppy had said. Did Poppy lie to me or was it only because my husband waited for me to step out? "Kitten...It's you." He looked at my face and down to my body and back to my face again. "I was right. You are only at the bakery shop. W-Why did you have to lie?" he asked, his voice trembling. His hair was already long and his mustache and stubbles had grown so much as if he was a completely different person. Despite that, he was still beautiful. The very person whom I managed to love. "I'm not. Y-You're mistaken, Mr." I pretended to fan myself. "You're drunk, Mister." "I only drank two canned beers, Kitten." He sauntered towards me, but I stepped back. "What are you doping? Like I said, I am not who you think I am." His expression turned glassy. "Kitten, please. Tell me what I did to punish you like this. What did I do wrong, Kitten? Why did you leave me

CHRISTY:"He is gone," Poppy announced after talking to my husband. I hid in the kitchen as Poppy struggled to look for some alibis and lied to my husband. I was glad I was able to watch the CCTV camera and found him approaching. If not, he would know I was here, working in Poppy's bakery shop. If Everette will find out that I was only here for the whole year, he might be mad at Poppy. The woman had no fault. In fact, she was kind enough to give me a job where I wanted it. Everette…he looked like a hermit who just came out from his hiding place. He had a rugged expression on his face, but he was still handsome.How long has it been since I last saw him face to face? More than a year already and I just wanted to run into his arms."Thank you, Poppy. You're the best," I said weakly. “Thank you for having my back.”She looked at me with a stern look. “I was not happy with what you did, okay? I was only forced to do it because I loved you. But Christy…how long will you keep on punishin

EVERETTE: It had been an nth time since I stared at my wife’s picture when we had our cruise ship. It was a candid picture of her while we both sat on the sand. A year of missing her. My wife was gone just like what I dreamed. When I entered the house, when I returned back from working on the company, her clothes were still there, but she never returned. At first, I was scared that she was kidnapped again, but there were witnesses of her going somewhere else alone. She was not kidnapped. The truth was, she was only looking for a perfect opportunity where she could go and run away. It had been what? One fucking years of her absence. No calls. No text. Not even anything. Until now, I blame myself for what happened. Maybe…if I did not work late, I would still be able to stop her from disappearing. “Why don’t you give up, Everette?” Vincent said. “If you did not find her, it only meant that she did not want to be found.” We were in the house. I asked him to come and he did witho

CHRISTY: I want the world to swallow me now. What a very perfect timing. Beatrice being able to witness me slapping her husband. I would understand if she would hate me after this. She loved her husband so much that salpping him will be the reason why he would throw a fit. I did not know how to console Beatrice or how would I be able to face her and explain what she just heard and what she had witnessed. Did I regret going to their cabin? I did not. All I was thinking was this woman who looked like she could not even hurt a fly. "Beatrice..." I mumbled. Approach her. She deserved to know what her husband said. Are you sure? The other part of my mind said. If the truth would hurt her so much, was it worth it? Left with no choice, I sauntered towards her. "How long had you been listening?" I asked directly, no loger beating around the bush. If she hated me after this, all I had to do was accept everything adn move on. There was so much bigger things that needed my attention.

CHRISTY:I did it! I was able to slap Drake! I was able to avenge Beatrice!It was not so me to hurt anyone, but after slapping Drake, I felt this weird sense of fulfillment coming from the inside of my chest. Instead of getting guilty, all I felt was the sense of fulfillment of avenging Beatrice. My palms were itching to slap him again, but once was enough. As long as I was able to send him the message that not everyone liked him was already enough.Drake glared at me, watching the imprints of my hands on his palm. It hurt even for a moment and he would no longer be able to forget me. Staring down at me, he asked, "What the fuck was that for? As far as my memories are concerned, you and I had no proper conversation. What did I do to earn a slap from you? Be thankful that you're a woman or else," he trailed off.“So what if I am a woman?” I asked. I scoffed. "You have to ask me those questions? Are you that dense?" I asked. He stared at me for a long time, his face bright red wi

CHRISTY:Beatrice looked at me as if I had grown horns. I was a bitch for suggesting it to her, but what could I do? I was not the type who would just stare at a woman who was hurting because of a man.Yeah. I know. It was the suggestion that she was totally unexpected. Or maybe she already expected it, but she could not do anything about it. Perhaps I was not the only one who had told her to divorce her husband. "Y-You want me to divorce my husband?" she asked in disbelief, using the same words I had suggested. "Do you even hear yourself?" she asked. “Divorce? How could you say that!”"I heard myself loud and clear," I said nonchalantly. “It’s time to let go of that jerk.”Tears swelled in her eyes.Beatrice always had a waterworks, and I did not like any of that. A woman’s tears were like a stab wound on me. I kneeled in front of her and said, "It's time to let go of the man who did not even love you. Do you understand? Stop hurting yourself because you deserve someone who would s

CHRISTY:"I knew women like you. You will grab every possible opportunity," she spat. “Seeing you annoys me even more. You reminded me of your Mom.”“Mom and I are two different beings, Mom,” I said politely, even if my heart was already bleeding too much. And I could not blame Clara. Mom showed her worse side. “As long as my husband won’t believe that I will cheat on him, I am fine with whatever you say, Mom.”Clara’s hand shook in anger. She was dying to hurt me. To slap me once again. “Christy is right, Mom. The only thing that you can do is accept this marriage.” Everette kissed me on my hair. Clar did not like it a bit. “Mom, let us have peace. Christy admitted it was a mistake that she left me in the altar. But don’t you think it’s already too long since that happened? Let’s move on, Mom. Please?” Everette was about to touch his Mom’s hand, but Clara slapped his hand away and looked at me with disgust.“You’re a witch. You bewitched my son!” She was about to slap me, but Everet

CHRISTY:Panic kicked in as I struggled to break free. No matter how much I attempted to shout, my voice was muffled. The person holding me won't budge at all. I kicked in. I thrashed. I shouted, but no words would come out.Everette! Please help me!What the heck was happening?"Stop squirming or I will hurt you for real," he threatened. “Do you think I will hesitate hurting a woman?”I stopped, sensing this bastard won’t hesitate to hurt me at all. My body went cold. It was the man whom Everette had fought with. Vincent was right. Sooner or later, he would come to get me. I should have listened to Vincent when he said I should be careful. Everette’s enemies would resurface. Did I listen? I did not. As he dragged me deeper into the darkness, I was losing even more hope that someone would be able to help me.It was safe to let him think that he was able to get my trust. Hot tears welled in my eyes as I thought of Everette. Would I die not being able to see my husband? If I knew
