MARRYING THE BACHELOR Chapter 29
Paglabas ni Kairah sa opisina, ramdam niyang ang bawat hakbang na ginagawa niya ay puno ng bigat. Ang mga bagay na nangyari kanina ay nagdulot ng pagkadurog sa kanyang puso, pero kailangan niyang magpatuloy. Walang oras para magpigil o magdwell sa mga pagkatalo; kailangan niyang ayusin ang mga nangyaring pagkakamali. Habang naglalakad siya sa hallway, iniisip niya ang mga susunod na hakbang na kailangan niyang gawin. Ang unang bagay na naisip niya ay ang makausap si Marco, ang isa sa mga pangunahing tao sa likod ng mga lihim na pinapalaganap. Kung ang mga alegasyon na narinig niya kay Liam ay totoo, si Marco ang magiging susunod na target sa plano niyang linisin ang kumpanya. Hindi na siya pwedeng magpatawad pa, hindi sa oras na ito. Dahil sa mga komplikasyon sa mga papeles at mga deal na nakatago, agad siyang nagdesisyon na magtungo sa opisina ni Marco. Hindi siya mag-aaksaya ng oras. Binuksan niya ang pintuan ng kanyang opisina at kinuha ang kanyang mga personal na gamit at isang

The tension in the office felt thick as the day of the crucial meeting approached. Kairah and Liam spent the entire morning preparing. They were carefully reviewing documents, making sure every detail was accounted for. The files they had collected were solid, but it wasn’t just the information they needed—it was the timing. They needed to act fast and decisively to ensure they could outmaneuver anyone who might stand in their way.Kairah stared at the laptop in front of her, her fingers lightly tapping on the keys. She had every file organized, every email tracked, but something about today felt different. Her heart raced, knowing that the next few hours could change everything. "This is it," she whispered to herself.Liam, sitting across from her, was equally focused, his face a mask of determination. "We can't afford any slip-ups, Kairah. You know how high the stakes are." His voice was calm but edged with concern. He wasn’t just worried about the outcome—he was worried about her.

Kairah’s puso mabilis na tumibok habang naglalakad siya pababa ng hallway, ang bigat ng meeting kanina ay ramdam pa rin niya. Parang may mga tanong na naglalaro sa kanyang isipan, mga bagay na hindi pa niya alam kung paano haharapin. Pero isa lang ang alam niya, may mga hakbang na kailangan niyang gawin para ayusin ang lahat ng mga nasirang bagay, at kahit mahirap, kailangan niyang magsimula.Tahimik si Liam habang naglalakad silang magkasabay, at sa wakas, siya na ang unang nagsalita. “Okay ka lang?”Tumingin si Kairah sa kanya, ang mukha niya ay medyo mahirap basahin. “Magiging okay din. Ang dami lang kasing iniisip, Liam.”Nodding siya, at ngumiti ng konti. “Gets ko. Malaking hakbang 'to, Kairah. Pero tapos na ‘yung pinakamabigat na part. Exposed na lahat ng katotohanan. Ngayon, nandito na tayo. Suporta ng lahat, kasama na ako.”Pero hindi pa rin sigurado si Kairah. “Siguro tapos na ang pinakamabigat na part, pero ‘yun lang ba ‘yun? Ang kumpanya, siryoso pa. Marami pa tayong kailan

As the cool night air surrounded them outside the restaurant, Kairah felt a sense of peace she hadn't realized she was missing. The city lights twinkled around them, casting a gentle glow on the streets. Liam's hand in hers felt natural, like it belonged there. She could hear the soft hum of distant conversations from other diners leaving nearby restaurants, but in that moment, it was just the two of them—quiet, connected, and tentative.“I’m glad we did this,” Liam said softly, breaking the comfortable silence as they walked down the sidewalk.“Me too,” Kairah replied, her voice quieter now, her thoughts swirling. There was a part of her that still felt unsure, unsure of what this was or where it would lead, but there was also something reassuring in Liam’s presence tonight. For the first time in a long while, she didn’t feel alone in her thoughts.They reached the car parked by the curb, and Liam opened the door for her, offering her a polite, yet warm smile as she slid into the sea

Kairah sat back in her chair, the excitement from her recent exchange with Liam still lingering in her chest. It wasn’t often she allowed herself to feel this way, but there was something about him that made everything seem... easy. Hindi tulad ng mga ibang lalaki na nakakapit sa mga plano at gusto nila ng bilis, Liam was different. He wasn’t rushing things, and that in itself was a relief. For the first time in a long while, she felt a little bit of hope flicker inside her. Siguro nga, this was the fresh start she needed. Hindi naman niya sinasadya na magbukas ulit ng puso, pero with Liam, it was as if things were happening naturally, without the usual pressure or expectations. That evening, as the sun began to set and the office started to clear out, Kairah got her things together. It had been a long day, and she was ready to go home. Ngunit bago siya umalis, isang email ang pumasok sa inbox niya. It was from her manager, instructing her to meet with a potential client the next mo

The following week, Kairah found herself thinking about Liam more often than she cared to admit. The lunch they shared was still fresh in her mind, and every time she thought of his easy smile and their effortless conversation, she couldn’t help but feel a warmth in her chest. It had been a while since she’d connected with someone like that, and the thought of what might come next both excited and unsettled her. Work had been busy, as usual. She spent most of her days buried in spreadsheets and meetings, trying to manage the constant flow of tasks. But in between it all, she found herself daydreaming, imagining what it might be like to see Liam again. She was on a conference call when her phone buzzed with a message. She quickly glanced at the screen to find a text from Liam:Liam: *“Hey, Kairah. Hope you’re doing well. I was thinking… maybe we can grab dinner this weekend? Let me know what you think.”*A smile tugged at her lips as she typed a quick reply:Kairah: *“I’d love that.

As Kairah stepped inside her apartment, the familiar scent of lavender greeted her, but there was an unfamiliar restlessness in the air. Her thoughts swirled, still consumed by everything that had happened during the day. The warmth of Liam's gaze, his words lingering in her mind. She couldn't remember the last time she had felt so connected to someone so quickly.She took a deep breath, shaking off the lingering tension, and began to remove her shoes at the door. Her hands moved mechanically, but her mind was elsewhere, replaying every little moment from the drive back. How easy it had been to talk to him. How comfortable she felt, even when they were quiet. It was strange, like a puzzle piece falling into place she didn’t even know was missing.Kairah moved to the couch, sitting down heavily, her mind still racing. She found herself staring at her phone, the screen lit up with notifications she hadn’t bothered to check yet. One of them was from Liam.She hesitated for a moment befor

Kairah walked back to her apartment, the crisp evening air felt refreshing against her skin, contrasting with the warmth she felt inside. Her heart was light, and her thoughts were still with Liam. The quiet moments they'd shared, the ease of their conversation, lingered in her mind. She couldn't remember the last time she had felt so comfortable with someone. It was strange, yet it felt so natural, like everything had clicked into place.When she got home, she set her keys down on the counter, the familiar hum of her apartment filling the silence. She slipped off her shoes and walked to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. Her phone buzzed, and she immediately reached for it, her heart racing a little when she saw it was Liam."I really had a great time tonight. Hope you got home safe. Talk soon?”She smiled, feeling a warmth spread across her chest. She quickly typed her response.“I had a great time too, Liam. I’m home safe, thanks for checking. Definitely talk soon!”Her fingers

Kairah sat on the couch, the soft light of her living room spilling across the walls, casting gentle shadows. She wasn’t sure how long she had been staring into space, her mind buzzing with everything that had happened. The conversation with Liam felt like a moment suspended in time, something she hadn’t quite processed yet, but it lingered in her chest, warm and heavy, like a promise she hadn’t quite made. She hadn’t been expecting such a shift. Not tonight, not with him. And yet, here she was—aware of everything she had been hiding from. Her phone buzzed on the coffee table, startling her from her thoughts. She glanced at the screen—Liam’s name flashed across it. Her heart skipped. It was late, too late for a casual call. She picked it up, her fingers hovering over the screen before she swiped to answer.“Hey,” she said, her voice softer than usual, still raw from everything she had felt earlier.“Hey,” Liam’s voice came through, warm and comforting. “I just wanted to check in.

MARRYING THE BACHELOR Chapter 49
The following morning, Kairah woke to the gentle light filtering through the curtains, casting soft shadows on the walls of her apartment. The warmth of the sun felt like a quiet promise, one she wasn’t sure she was ready to accept yet. But it was there, undeniable. It was a new day. She sat up in bed, her thoughts still swirling from last night. The conversation with Liam kept replaying in her mind. His words, his touch, the weight of the silence between them—it all felt different. It was as if something had shifted, not just in the air, but within her. She wasn’t sure what to do with it yet, but she couldn’t ignore it. Kairah ran a hand through her hair, feeling the lingering tension in her shoulders. She had always been good at keeping her distance, at controlling what she could. But last night had been different. The walls she’d built around herself had cracked, and for the first time in a long while, she felt exposed. Vulnerable. And as much as she wanted to pull the covers bac

As they drove through the quiet streets, the rhythmic hum of the engine was the only sound between them. Kairah glanced at Liam from the corner of her eye, unsure of how to fill the space that now seemed so pregnant with meaning. The night had unfolded in ways she hadn’t anticipated. The conversation had been more profound than she had expected, yet comforting in its simplicity. And as they neared her apartment, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was different—something important had shifted within her.Liam pulled up to the curb and parked the car, his hands lingering on the wheel as he turned to look at her. There was a soft intensity in his gaze that made her heart beat a little faster. She met his eyes, suddenly feeling more vulnerable than she had all night. “You okay?” he asked, his voice gentle, as if sensing the change in her mood.Kairah swallowed, her throat suddenly dry. She wasn’t sure how to articulate what she was feeling, but she knew she needed to say somet
MARRYING THE BACHELOR Chapter 47
The night was just beginning, but the air between them had already shifted. Kairah sat back in her seat, feeling a mixture of nerves and something else she couldn’t quite name. She couldn’t remember the last time she had been this open with someone, or allowed herself to feel this much. As they enjoyed their meal, small sparks of connection ignited in the pauses between conversation. Liam’s steady gaze, his occasional teasing smile, and the way he seemed to listen so intently made her feel seen in a way she wasn’t accustomed to. She took another sip of wine, allowing it to settle the butterflies that had begun to stir in her stomach again. As Liam casually shared a funny story about his childhood, Kairah found herself laughing more freely than she had in ages. It was strange to feel so at ease, especially with someone she barely knew.Liam, noticing the change in her demeanor, leaned forward, his eyes softening. “You’re more fun than you let on, you know that?”Kairah chuckled, brush
MARRYING THE BACHELOR Chapter 46
Liam opened the car door for Kairah, his smile warm as he watched her slip into the passenger seat. The car was sleek and polished, a stark contrast to her slightly rumpled thoughts. She settled in, pulling her seatbelt across, the familiar scent of leather and the faint hint of cologne making her heart beat a little faster. He slid into the driver’s seat, starting the engine smoothly before pulling out of the parking lot. The streetlights flickered in the distance, casting long shadows as they drove.The night was quiet, and for a while, neither of them spoke. Kairah's eyes drifted to the window, watching the cityscape pass by. The streets were lively, full of energy, but she felt an odd sense of calm. Being in Liam’s presence felt natural, like it was supposed to be this way. But with that calmness came the unsettling feeling that things were moving faster than she anticipated. *What am I even doing?* she thought, her mind racing again. She barely knew this man, yet here she was, go
MARRYING THE BACHELOR Chapter 45
Kairah’s mind was a whirlwind as she sat in her car, staring at the reflection of the building in front of her. The morning light was creeping in, casting a warm golden glow over the glass and steel. Her phone buzzed in the passenger seat, a message from Zara once again. Zara: Have you seen him again? How are you feeling?Kairah hesitated for a moment, biting her lip. She had barely slept, tossing and turning, and when she did sleep, it was filled with dreams of Liam—his smile, the way his eyes softened when he spoke to her. There was an unsettling calmness in her chest, like something was brewing inside her that she couldn't quite name. Kairah: I don’t know yet. It’s complicated.She pressed send quickly, not allowing herself to overthink it. She knew Zara would understand, but she didn’t want to burden her friend with all the emotions she couldn’t even make sense of herself.Kairah grabbed her things, stepping out of the car with a sigh. The office building in front of her seemed
MARRYING THE BACHELOR Chapter 44
As the quiet night stretched on, Kairah leaned back against the car, her hands gripping the door for support. Her mind raced, replaying everything that had just happened. There was something in Liam's eyes, in the way he spoke, that made her feel seen, understood. It was both comforting and overwhelming. She wasn’t used to this—this raw, honest connection that seemed to have blossomed so quickly between them. She closed her eyes for a moment, letting the cool night air kiss her skin. The sounds of the city were distant, muffled by the walls she had put up around herself. She had spent so many years building those walls, thinking they would protect her from heartache. And yet, here she was, feeling the pull of something she had sworn off for so long. When she opened her eyes, she saw Liam’s figure disappearing around the corner, his broad back fading into the darkness. A strange emptiness settled in her chest, but it wasn’t one of regret. It was a longing—an undeniable urge to close

Liam, her heart still racing from the evening. She tried to keep her composure, but his presence made her feel a mixture of warmth and nervous excitement."Thanks for the dinner, Liam. It was really nice," she said, her voice softer than usual.Liam smiled, his gaze steady and genuine. "I’m glad you had a good time. I did too."There was a moment of silence between them, a quiet tension hanging in the air. Kairah felt her pulse quicken as Liam stepped a little closer, his expression more serious now. "I’d like to do this again," he said, his voice low but clear, the sincerity in his words unmistakable. "Get to know you better, outside of work. If you’re open to it."Kairah’s heart skipped a beat. She had been wondering if he felt the same connection, and now, hearing him say it out loud, made everything feel more real. She was hesitant, still unsure of what it would mean for her personal and professional life, but there was something in his eyes that made her want to take the chance.
MARRYING THE BACHELOR Chapter 42
Kairah couldn’t shake the feeling of uncertainty as she sat in her car, the engine running while she stared out the window at the dark streets ahead. The evening had been… different. She had enjoyed the dinner, but more than that, she had felt a connection with Liam that was hard to ignore. It was as if the dynamic between them had shifted in a way she hadn’t expected. She had always admired him professionally, but now, there was something else. She felt drawn to him in a way that went beyond their work relationship.As she drove home, her thoughts wandered back to their conversations. Liam had been genuine in his compliments, and the way he listened to her, really listened, made her feel heard in a way she hadn’t experienced in a long time. She couldn’t help but replay his words in her mind—how he had called her driven and passionate, how he seemed to understand her in a way that few people did. It felt nice, but it also scared her. She wasn’t sure if she was ready to let her guard d
