Loving The Lost Billionaire Chapter 17: Danger 2
Hindi mapigilan ni Charlie ang panginginig habang inihihinto ni Gael ang sasakyan sa ilalim ng isang puno. They drove to a small dirt road, just a few hundred meters away from the highway. They were surrounded by bushes, hiding them from the view of anyone. It took them almost half an hour to reach there and shake the damn black car away. And now she can really feel the cold. Moreso, when there is a storm raging outside. "Take off your clothes, Charlie," nagmamdaling utos ni Gael sa kanya. Sinubukan niyang tumalima subalit masyadong malakas ang panginginig ng mga kamay niya. Seeing that she was struggling, si Gael na ang nagtanggal ng mga damit niya until all that's left were her underwears. Gael reached for the backseat and took from there the big blanket they bought when they first went to the market before they went into hiding by the sea side. Ibinalot nito iyon sa kanya. But she still can't stop shivering. "G-Gael, i-it's c-cold," sabi niya. She heard him curse unders his b

Hindi maampat-ampat ang pagpatak ng luha ni Charlie habang nakaupo siya sa waiting area ng maliit na private hospital na pinagdalhan niya kay Gael. Gael was unconscious when they wheeled him inside the operating room about half an hour ago. And no matter how she remind herself to think positively, she can’t. How can she when Gael is fighting for his life! There were mixed noises surrounding but she cannot figure out any of it. She can her people chattering around her but she cannot fully understood any of it. Her mind and ears were silenced by the chaos inside her head. Marami siyang naiisip at inaalala. Ang panganib na nakasunod sa kanila, ang tumitinding galit na nararamdaman niya para sa mga magulang niya, at higit sa lahat ang kaligtasan ni Gael. She took in a sharp breath and clasped her hands tighter. She wanted to pray but her mind cannot process any coherent thought. And so she just cried some more. Her heart was heavy with guilt. She will not be able to forgive herself sh

“Nasabi na sa akin ni Ms. Sandejas kung ano ang nangyari sa ‘yo, Gael,” umpisang pahayag ni Sir Eric kay Gael nang sila na lang dalawa.Inipon niya ang lahat ng lakas niya upang makaupo siya sa kama. “Mrs. Estrada,” sagot niya pagkatapos.Nangunot-noo ang boss niya. “What?”“Charlie is Mrs. Estrada now, Sir. I married her,” seryosong pahayag niya.Bumagsak ang balikat ni Sir Eric, sandaling sinapo ang ulo bago umiling-iling.“Kailan pa?” tanong nito nang muling mag-angat ng tingin.“Two weeks ago. Mula nang umalis kami nang Maynila. Tinulungan kami nina Gray at Judge Almazan,” paliwanag niya sa mababang tinig.Sir Eric huffed, muling umiling. He knew his boss will have this big talk with his son and his uncle, the judge. “Anyway, nasabi sa akin ni Ms. San—ng asawa mo na may mga humahabol sa inyo kaya ka nabaril. Do you have any idea about the identities of these men?”He blinked a few times, battling with himself if he’d tell his boss on not. “Sir Aaron threatened Charlie that he’d hu

Charlie can't help but smile while she's checking on her new ink on her ring finger. Actually, it's the only tattoo she has and probably she will ever going to have in this lifetime. Not that she has anything against with people with tattoos, it's just that, getting inked is painful. Muntik na nga siyang umayaw kanina. When Gael told her that they were getting matching tattoos on their ring fingers in replacement of the wedding ring she lost, she was ready to walk away as soon as they arrived at the small shop owned by the only tattoo artist in town. If only Gael didn't assured her that it would be quick and he'll hold her hand the entire time, she woulnd't have agreed. But now that she's seen the the final output, she's more than glad that her husband talked her into it. Palagi. Always.That's the word they had tattoed on both of their ring fingers. A familiar warmth rose from her chest. She really cannot wait to live the rest of her life with Gael. When all of the chaos is over

"Saan daw po nagpunta? Wala pong sinabi kung kailan ang balik?" narinig ni Charlie na tanong ni Gael sa katulong ni Dr. Andres. Naroon sila sa bahay ng doktor upang sana magpa-check up. Subalit mukhang wala roon ang doktor. She's was having an upset stomach for 2 days now in a row. At sobrang nag-aalala na ang asawa niya sa kanya kaya naman pumayag na siya sa hiling nito na magpa-check up. At base sa narinig niyang usapan ni Gael at ng katulong, baka kailangan nilang humanap ng doktor na maaring tumingin sa kanya. Maya-maya pa, bumalik na sa kotse si Gael. Umayos naman ang pagkakaupo niya sa passenger's seat. The car is older than that of Gael's car kaya hindi siya masyadong kumportable sa upuan niya. Sir Eric exchanged Gael's car with that old one as part of their precautionary measures while they settle there."Kailangan daw nating pumunta sa susunod na bayan para magpacheck-up sa doktor na kakilala ni Dr. Andres sabi ng katulong," ani ni Gael nang makaupo na ito sa driver's sea

“Where are we?” paos ang tinig na tanong ni Charlie kay Gael. She just woke up from sleep and she can almost see the sky filling itself with different kinds of colors—ready to welcome the rising sun.She stretched her back a little as she roamed her eyes outside of the moving car. Her brows instantly furrowed as she was seeing familiar buildings and landmarks around. It seemed like they were back in the city.Napakurap siya? Are they really back in the Metro?Awtomatikong kumabog ang dibdib niya sa naisip, tarantang bumaling sa asawa.“G-Gael, are we back in Manila?” naguguluhang tanong niya.Gael glanced over at her and gave her a small smile. Subalit imbes na sagutin ang tanong niya, “Nakatulog ka nang maayos? Are you feeling better?” anito.Naguguluhan man, wala sa sarili siyang tumango, kumurap-kurap. She was going to ask him again when they passed by SGU’s majestic main gate.Lalong kumabog ang d*bdib niya. She felt numb for a while. They can’t be back in the city. Lalo silang ma

Tahimik si Charlie habang nakaupo siya sa sala ng penthouse ng pamilya niya sa SSL. Doon siya dinala ng mga bodyguards niya at ni Deigo matapos siyang iwan ni Gael. Gael.Hurt raked her chest once again when she remembered her husband. She gripped on her ring finger, the one with the ink on it. Her lips quivered as she recalled every moment she had shared with him for the past 6 weeks. Every kiss. Every fiery night. Every promise. She remembered it all.But now that she was seating in their home—alone, she cannot help but think if any of it were true that Gael was able to give her up just like that.He left her. He left just like that!Tuluyan nang tumulo ang luha niya at niyuko ang kanyang mga kamay.Palagi.She never knew how that word could hurt so much until now.Maiksi lang pala ang pangako ng palagi kay Gael. Hindi nagtatagal. Nang-iiwan. Lumilimot.Few moments more and the front door opened. Iniluwa niyon ang humahangos na bulto ng Mommy at Daddy niya.“Charlie!” mangiyak-ngiy

Panay ang hikbi ni Charlie habang nakaupo siya sa waiting area ng Angelicum Hospital. Doon nila dinala ng Mommy niya ang Daddy niya nang makita nila ito kanina sa sahig at pinangangapusan ng hininga.The past half an hour had been a blur. She can only recall the moment Axel and Diego carried her father to the car and the minute she and her mother stepped inside the hospital. All of the moments before, after and in between all of those, she cannot remember.How could she when her heart was heavy with guilt?Muli siyang humikbi at yumuko, mahigpit na pinagsalikop ang mga kamay. Hindi kakayanin ng kunsensya niya kapag tuluyang may nangyaring masama sa Daddy niya.Why was she always the cause of all troubles? Was that her punishment for being disobedient? For standing up for herself? For wanting to live her life?Her lips quivered as bitter tears streamed from her eyes. Regrets drowning her once again.Few moments more and she heard rushing footsteps from the hospital’s entrance. She saw

Loving The Lost Billionaire Epilogue
“Again? Pero puno pa ang fridge niyan, love. Nakita ko kagabi nang bumaba ako sa kitchen,” reklamo ni Gael kay Charlie nang muli siyang maglagay ng dragon fruit sa cart. They were out grocery shopping in a local grocery store in Cancun. They have been staying there for a week now in celebration of their second wedding anniversary. It was a trip she didn’t really want to take at first because she easily gets tired lately. But when Gael told her that she will call the shots every time, she was in in no time. She rolled her eyes and faced him. “Can’t you get it? I’m not buying them for me to eat. I’m buying it because they looked cute,” pagrarason niya, muling naglagay ng dalawang piraso pa ng nasabing prutas sa cart. Gael huffed. “Should I buy you a dragon fruit farm?” “Of course not!” sabi niya, muling naglakad sa aisle ng prutas na kinaroroonan nila. “What about a grocery store then? You want me to purchase this grocery store for you?” Namawaywang na siya at hinarap ang asawa.

“Are you ready?” tanong ng Mommy ni Charlie sa kanya. She filled her lungs with air and gave her mother a slow nod. “Yes,” she replied smiling. Gumanti ng ngiti ang Mommy niya, nangingilid ang luha. Masuyo pa nitong inabot anag kanyang pisngi. “I wish you all the happiness in the world, sweetheart.” “Thanks, Mom,” sabi niya bago niyakap ang ina. They stayed like that for a while bago sila nakarinig ng katok sa pinto. “Hey, the music’s starting and all the guests are waiting. Don’t tell me may balak ka pang itakbo ‘yang anak mo, Sam,” said her father’s familiar voice outside the door. Natatawa nilang binitiwan ng Mommy niya ang isa’t-isa. Sandaling nitong pinunasan ng panyo ang gilid ng mga mata nito bago siya muling nginitian. “Let’s go. Your Dad cannot wait to give you away… officially,” pabirong sabi ng Mommy niya bago inabot sa kanya ang kanyang bouquet. When her mother opened the door to her room, she was met by her father’s loving gaze. “Finally,” anito, nakangiti. He gave

It was a manic day for Charlie. No. It was chaos spelled in all caps. She was supposed to wake up an hour ago for her scheduled appointment. But because she and Gael stayed up late yet again last night, there she was rushing to fix herself so she could run to where she’s heading to for the day. “Hey, slow down, beautiful. You’ll hurt yourself,” nakangiting sabi ni Gael sa kanya, sumandal pa sa hamba ng pinto ng walk-in closet niya—looking so handsome with just his lounge pants on and nothing else. “Go away, Gael. You know I cannot be late today,” sabi niya habang naglalagay ng sunscreen sa mukha. She’ll need lots of those sa pupuntahan niya. Gael chuckled. “Bakit, hindi ka naman late a. You still have at least an hour and a half to spare.” She scoffed and picked up her blush powder. She won’t wear her full make-up today. “An hour and a half spare that I’ll spend for travel. You know how’s Manila traffic in the morning, Gael. It’s one of the worse and I can’t afford to be late toda

Sandaling namanhid si Gael sa kanyang nasaksihan. Panandalian niyang kinumbinsi ang sarili na imahinasyon niya lang ang lahat. Na nasa maayos na lagay si Charlie at walang kaguluhan na nangyayari sa mismong araw ng kanilang kasal. He even tried to blink a few times—willing the dreadful scenario away from his head. But when he opened his eyes, his bride, his wife still laid there on the cold ground, bleeding.With his chest constricting, he tried to stand up, wanting to go to Charlie as soon as he can. But his bodyguard nearby kept him from doing so. Anger burned his skin in an instant. He had to go Charlie and no one, not even the damn death god himself could prevent him from doing so.He turned himself onto the ground, lying on his back, and gave the bodyguard hovering over at him a straight jab to the jaw. Napaupo ito, bago siya mahilo-hilong binitiwan. He took that chance to crawl his way to Charlie, who fell near the entrance of the church. ‘I like the water, Kuya Gael. Can you t

Kanina pa nasa harap ng salamin si Gael subalit panay pa rin ang pag-aayos niya sa kurbata ng kanyang suit. The damn thing just won’t align!Frustrated, he took it off altogether and huffed.He’s anxious for some unknown reason. Gray, who arrived last night, said at it must be the wedding jitters but he refuses to believe so. He’s just on edge because he didn’t get to see his wife and son for hours now. Sneaking in at Charlie and Levi’s hotel room crossed his mind a few times last night. With his skills as a former elite boduyguard, he could do that with no sweat involved. But his grandfather gave him a talk about keeping his word and just wait until it’s time for them to meet at the altar again. Subalit naging sobrang napakahirap niyon sa kanya dahil sa iisang hotel lang silang naka-check –in na mag-anak—just different floors. Idagdag pa na talagang makulit si Tala at panay-panay ang pagbabantay sa mag-ina niya, h’wag lang niyang makita ang mga ito.Gray told him to have a little dr

Lena was in the bathtub for hours now. She was watching the tiny drops of water coming out of the faucet as they join the already cold water she was soaking her body in. On the background, she can hear the news from the old TV— the dreadful news she had been hearing for her entire week now. Gael is getting married again… to his wife Charlize. When Gael broke up with her more than a month ago after he had learned about her deceit, she had always been on the run since. Her father and the authorities were after her. She cannot afford to get caught. Especially not by her father. She just knew that when her father would find her, he’ll punishher for ruining his plans. And with her state right now, she knew she'd die with just one blow. Tears fell from her eyes as her heart wracked with pain. She remembered the days when her life was better, when she had so much hope, and when she was still loved. Oh how she wished she could go back. For now, she had lost all of those and slowly losing

“You did what?” hindi na napigilan pa ni Charlie ang magtaas ng boses dahil sa sinabi ni Tala.They were at the private office of her husband. Doon niya ito dinala upang makapag-usap silang dalawa ng pinsan nang masinsinan. Kaya lang, ilang minuto pa lang tumatakbo ang usapan nila, pakiramdam niya gusto na niyang sumuko. “I got married,” pag-uulit ni Tala. “H-he's a prince," alanganing dugtong nito, namumutla.Her eyes widened even more. Did she hear her right?"I’m sorry, what?"Tala released a slow breath. She looks flustered as she was. "Knoxx is a prince of a small country called Maritria. It’s somewhere in the Mediterranean. I don’t know more than that. I stopped my research the minute I’ve learned that his family was related to the British royals.”She paled and gasped aloud. "You married into royalty?!" she asked in disbelief, her voice a notch higher.She had always known her cousin to be troublemaker, wild like how the world put it. But Tala really outdid herself this time.

“Des Auge (Eyes).” “D-des Auge.” “Die Nase (Nose).” “Die N-nashie.” “No, schatzi. It’s die Nase.” “Die N-nase.” “Very good, Levi! You are a fast learner just like you Dad.” Nagmamadaling lumingon si Levi kay Charlie. Her son’s eyes were sparkling with pride. “You heard that, Mommy? Grampy said I learn fast like Dadddy!” Charlie chuckled and walked over at the bed where Levi and Aksel were. She reached for her son’s cheeks and gave it a gentle pinch. “I heard that, sweetheart. Now why don’t you go with Jacob for a while and let me help Grampy with his food,” aniya. Mabilis na ibinalik ni Levi ang mata kay Aksel at nagmano sa matanda. “Bis später, Grampy! (See you later, Grampy!)” bibong sabi ni Levi bago lumabas sa silid ni Aksel. “You raised a really smart boy, Charlie,” ani Aksel nang sila na lang dalawa ang naiwan sa silid nito. "That's because you are a great teacher, Aksel. Don't you agree?" she said as she helped Aksel sit on the bed. The old man chuckled and spoke som

“Here, have some coffee,” ani Charlie habang ibinababa sa harap ni Gael ang tasa ng kape na siya rin ang may gawa.Nag-angat ng tingin si Gael sa kanya. His eyes, just like the few days that have passed, was distant—gloomy. It was as if she's not there. O mas tamang sabihin na nasa iba ang isip nito. He forced a smile. “Thanks, love,” anito bago tahimik na dinala ang tasa sa bibig nito.She released a slow breath and sat on the chair in front of her husband. They were at the balcony of the Bernstein mansion. It was already late afternoon and the sun was beginning to set on the horizon. But she feels like Gael’s day was just about to start.Ito kasi ang nagbabantay sa lolo nito sa gabi. Mula nang dumating silang mag-anak sa Germany halos tatlong araw na ang nakararaan, hindi na natigil sa pag-aalala si Gael sa lolo nito. Why wouldn’t he? The old man was shot on the chest by one of the three butlers in the mansion, whom, they had found out later on, had been working for Alaric for the
