Forget About Me, Billionaire 58: Truth
CHRISTY:Everette kept on looking at me and for once, I wanted to take back the words I said to him earlier. It was embarrassing and scary at the same time. I did not want him to think that I was using his money for our family’s benefit. But what I was doing was already proof that I was taking advantage of his wealth.What if…what if…I mentally shook my head. One step at a time. I had to think of one problem at the same time. If not, I would burst. “What would you use it for?” he asked, giving his full attention to me. He scratched the side of his neck.I groaned internally. Did he know I would be giving it to Mom?Don’t overthink, Christina. It was only between you and your Mom.I shifted in my seat as I looked for words on how to tell him. I would rather not say that Mom was blackmailing me so that I would give her money.“I’m…I’m planning on starting a business soon. It was only an initial estimate and I might have asked for more. You can add it to our debt, Everette. I woul

CHRISTY:Eden did not love Everette. That was the biggest surprise I experienced so far. Was there someone incapable of loving someone like him? He was the most ideal man I had ever encountered and not falling for him was one of the biggest mistakes someone could ever make. He was a complete package!“Can you believe it, kitten?” he asked. “My family would never understand why she did not fall for me. And I was too. I mean what should I do so that she will fall for me?”It was an unrequited love, but the amount of love Everette poured towards Eden despite knowing it wouldn’t be reciprocated was beyond comprehension.There was no difference between you and Everette. You both loved a person whom you could never love truly.Still…it was a shock that Eden did not love him at all. That was…surprising given the qualities that this man possessed.“Maybe…she loved someone else and really treated you like her brother.”He went back to his chair and put his hands under his chin. “Why is that?

CHRISTY:The money had been transferred to me a few years ago, but I had not informed Mom about the money. I was still debating on what I should do with it whether to give it to her or not. She won't stop calling and I could sense her desperation. I did not think it was something about Dad. I was always monitoring his condition through the nurses and doctors. “What are you up to now, Mom?” I mumbled to myself as I stepped out of my car. I never brought John with me and told him not to tell Everette about this.I pulled over to my parent’s parking lot and the maid automatically met me when she saw me. Now that I realize it, the house that holds so many memories of my childhood and Ben became even lonely. There was nothing worth remembering in this house no matter how grand it was.“Miss Christy!”“Where is Mom?”She averted her gaze and went back to me. “She went somewhere else, Miss Christy. But she said that she will be back.”“She left Dad’s side?”“He has his nurse with him.”“

CHRISTY:Like a slow motion, I faced the newcomer. Mom. Compared to Dad, she became even younger from the last time I saw her. It looked like she did something to her body or went under the knife to become even more beautiful. What the heck was happening to her? She was not like this particularly when it came to her physical appearance. What if she would only spend the money on beautifying herself? For her own selfish reasons? "You don't have to fight our daughter."Mom scoffed. "Daughter? Why are you suddenly acting like a saint? You never wanted her, either. I remember how you said she was fat and was nothing to what you expected from your other child."Dad looked at me with a guilty expression…Funny how it was not painful compared to how Mom treated me. “If you did not want me in the first place, why did you even give birth to me?”Mom’s lips pressed into a thin line. “Why don't you ask your Dad? It was him who told me to have another child.”From the very beginning, I was

CHRISTY:Mom knew about Eden from the start, yet I did not know anything about it. No one had bothered to tell me the truth except now. They had kept me in the dark, which was painful. In the end, I was only used by Everette, Mom, and my family. My lips quivered even if I wanted to hide the surprise on my face. And she had a smug look on her face.“W-What do you know about Eden?”Mom threw back her head and burst out laughing. “See? You did not know that I know about Eden,” she declared after laughing so much while wiping the tears from her eyes. This was the first time she was happy beacuse of my statement.Mom shook her head. “Poor Christina. You never know anything about the man whom you professed who loved you.” The mirth in her eyes was suddenly gone in an instant. “I know my husband very well,” I defended.What do you know about him?Aside from what I learned when he was Rett and other snippets of his life when we got married, I knew nothing anymore. Mom lifted my chin and f
Last Updated : 2024-03-21Forget About Me, Billionaire 63: Inheritance
CHRISTY:My eyes darted to Everette whose expression darkened for a moment before it was gone. Will Everette lose the inheritance if he has a divorce? I never knew that might happen. I looked at Everette. How could he not tell me about that? And he agreed that we will sign the divorce agreement after six months? I did not believe he did not care about the money. He would lose a lot. “Good. We are already clear about that. That includes you, Everette, and Christina.” Clara watched me under intense stare and for a moment, I felt self-conscious. It seemed like my husband had been hiding a lot from me. First, it was Eden. This marriage and now losing the inheritance. “Everette? Christina?” Clara asked when not one of us had answered her. “Yes, Mom. My wife and I won't be getting a divorce.” Everette pulled my hand and showed it to the family. “My wife and I will be with each other until our death. I will not be the first one who will have a divorce in this family.” He pressed a ki

CHRISTY:Why would Mom cheat on Dad? She completely forgot she had children and now she had another man in her life?“T-that's impossible,” I said in disbelief. “Mom would never do that.” But then again, did Mom loved Dad that much?If she loved your Dad, she would never leave his side. Remember the last time you visited your house? She was not there. She was even mad when you visited your dad. “That is true. Why would I lie? You call me a liar?” “Mom! That's enough! Don't embarrass my wife like this!” Everette's voice boomed across the banquet. Everyone held their breath watching Everette's dark expression. A lump formed in my throat. He was too true to his promise that he would protect me under their judgemental eyes. Everette's hands snaked around my waist and brought me close to his body. “No one would bully my wife like this. Not even you, Mom.” A shiver ran down my spine. He was willing to wage war against his family for my sake?My chest tightened. Why would he do this

CHRISTY:Everette's forehead knotted, then laughed to cover the awkwardness in the air. "Love you? Why would I love you, kitten? I thought we already talked about your purpose in this marriage.""I love you, Everette," I confessed. “I love you, you hear me?”I wished the ground would swallow me whole when he only stared at me with a bewildered expression. Dammit. Was it a mistake that I confessed to him or not? Was it too soon? Everette and you had already known each other for a couple of months already. It was when we were in Swiped. My hands shook, and I wanted to run away from him and hide after this confession. But no. I won't be a coward and face him.My breathing labored. "Y-you love me? Kitten...why?"My feet went cold. That's the only thing that he could say? My explanation? "Why? You're asking me why I loved you? Isn't it obvious already? You're my ideal man. And you were right. You set a standard for me. So please don't tell me not to love someone else."I easily fel

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
Forget About Me, Billionaire [112]
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
