Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 79: Nightmare
They say a picture is worth a thousand words.. But out of a thousand words, there is only one truth. And Belle is determined to let Zyrone know the truth about those pictures. Nanginginig ang mga kamay niyang pinulot ang picture na nasa paanan niya at ang iba pa na nasa malapit lang niya. She carefully studied each and realized that the pictures were not taken just on the day she almost fainted while she was with Drew. Kasama na rin doon ang mga pagkakataong nakikipag-usap siya kay Drew sa loob ng hospital suite ni Lee Ann. Was she stalked? Malakas siyang napasinghap at nag-angat ng tingin kay Zyrone. Her husband’s eyes were still in hers, void of any emotion. “D-did you have someone…stalk me?” she asked just above whisper. The hurt she was feeling was so overwhelming that she found it hard to speak and even breathe. “I didn’t,” he answered indifferently. “But fortunately, someone did. Those pictures were day sent anonymously in my office the other day while you were having a swe
Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 80: Nightmare 2
Nang muling magkamalay si Belle, nakahiga na siya sa kama ng bagong kuwarto niya. Una niyang nabungaran ang mukha ni Estelita."Thank God you are awake now, young miss," the older woman said, genuine relief was written on her face.Kumurap siya, sandaling inalala ang mga kaganapan ng araw na iyon. At nang tuluyang magbalik sa isip niya ang mga iyon, malungkot niyang muling ibinalik ang tingin sa matanda."H-how long was I out?" she asked."About an hour or two, child," sagot ng isang pamilyar na tinig na nasa kabilang bahagi niya. She quickly turned to the direction of the voice and gasped when she saw Grandma Eve, sitting on her wheelchair with a sympathetic look on her face. The older woman looked so frail. Mas nangayayat din nito kaysa nang huli niya itong makita halos isang linggo na ang nakakaraan. But still she managed to smile at her.And that was all it took for her to push herself up off the bed and cried."G-Grandma, Zyrone... He hates me," she said bitterly while reaching f
Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 81: Prelude To The Future
Belle was tossing and turning again on her bed. It has been two days since she last seen Zyrone. Ganoon na rin siya katagal na nakakulong sa kuwartong iyon dahil mahigpit na ipinagbawal ni Grandma Eve na lumabas siya sa bago niyang kuwarto.Grandma Eve had her moved to the bedroom just beside the old woman’s. Ang sabi nito mas makakabuti raw iyon dahil mas madali siya nating mapuntahan. Estelita personally takes care of her needs now. The old maid makes sure that she gets her food on time. And in between the day, she checks on her. Mukhang nagre-report ito kay Grandma Eve na mula nang bisitahin siya sa dati niyang kuwarto ay hindi pa niya ulit nakikita.Pakiramdam niya tuloy para siyang preso.She scoffed inwardly. Mabuti pa nga ang mga preso may dalaw, pero siya ni isa, wala. Well, si Miranda sinilip siya kahapon. Pero hanggang sa pinto lang ito. She just gave her a forced smile and waved at her. Nagmamadali pa nga. Kasama kasi nito si Richard. And inasmuch as she wants to talk to h
Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 82: Prelude To The Future 2
Malalim na ang gabi subalit hindi pa rin makatulog si Belle. Stupid as it might be, she cannot stop thinking about the scene she witnessed this afternoon. Was Zyrone really that happy not seeing her? Kung ang pagbabasehan ay ang lakas ng pakikipaghalakhakan nito kay Grace kanina, mukhang wala nga talaga itong pakiaalam kung makita siya nito o hindi-- kabaliktaran ng nararamdaman niya. Hindi niya alam kung pregnancy hormones lang ‘yon o ano, but she terribly longs for husband's presence near her. No matter how harsh he was treating her right now, her stubborn heart still knew what it needs, her husband. Kanina, matapos niyang mag-iiyak dahil sa nasaksihan niyang eksena, she ended up throwing up in the bathroom twice. And after she had thrown out all that were inside her gut, there is still only one place she wanted to seek comfort in, in her husband’s arms. It took her a great amount of self-control for her not to barge in at Zyrone’s room and beg for his embrace. Just one embrace f
Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 83: Hands Of Grief
Zyrone was cursing under his breath when he reached his room. He had met Belle yet again! This time, face to face. Later that afternoon, he had caught a glimpse of her when he was with Grace. Grace was relating one funny story from their childhood and he didn’t contain his laugh. That’s when she saw Belle leaving his grandmother’s room. And just like when she saw her earlier that day, it took every ounce of strength in his being not to grab her by the waist and kiss her luscious lips to his heart’s content. “Dammit!” He hissed before he stripped off his clothes and went straight to the shower. His getting a full hard-on just by thinking about his wife. And he knew he’d only make a bigger fool out of himself if he’d allow his body to give in to its need. Belle lied to him. Bigtime. What she did is unforgivable. I cannot trust her anymore, he said to himself as he continued to douse his body with the cool water from the shower, in the hopes to drown out his need. When he received t
Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 84: Hands Of Grief
Tahimik na pinapakinggan ni Belle ang final rites ng pari para sa labi ni Grandma Eve. They were at the mausoleum of the family located at the private area of the cemetery. Nakapuwesto siya sa likuran ng kumpol ng mga tao na nakikipaglibing sa matanda. She cannot riksk herself to go infront together with the Craigs. Ayaw niyan magkaroon na naman ng eksena. Libing na iyon ng matanda. It should go as peacefully as it should.Hindi gaya ng nakaraang ilang araw ng burol sa chapel na halos patayin siya ni Richard sa sama ng tingin at sa mga sarkastikong komento nito tungkol sa kanya. Itinataon nito ang pang-iinsulto sa kanya tuwing umaalis ito sa gabi at naiiwan siya upang magbantay sa chapel.Every day, the whole week of the wake, nag-iiwan si Richard ng insulto sa kanya tuwing umaalis ito. Insults which kept her mind pre-occupied for every sleepless night she had spent on the chapel together with the other house-helps.Kung hindi lang alang-alang kay Grandma Eve, matagal na siya siguron
Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 85: Bitter Truth
“What?!” hindi makapaniwalang sigaw ni Richard sa narinig. Mabilis itong tumayo sa kinauupuan nito bago pinukol si Belle ng masamang tingin. “What was that lying bitch getting now?” sabi pa nito, tinuro siya.Richard’s voice boomed in the four-corners of the big room. And Belle was rendered speechless for some time. The fury she’s seeing in Richard’s eyes were beyond description. And she’s sure now, kung may plano man si Richard na saktan siya, tiyak na magtatagumpay ito dahil wala nang pipigil pa rito. Wala na si Grandma Eve. Zyrone could even barely look at her for the past half hour that they were there. She had not one. Wala na siyang kakampi.Mahigpit siyang napahawak sa arm rest ng kinauupuan niya. “Richard, let me finish reading the will of your mother,” anang abogado.“No! That will is fake! I won’t have any of that sham will unless that bitch of a stranger is taken out of it!” gigil na singhal ni Richard sa abogado.Hindi nakasagot ang abogado. Umiling lang ito at muling ni
Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 86: Bitter Truth 2
Marahang inilapag ni Belle ang dala-dala niyang bungkos ng bulaklak sa ibabaw ng marmol na puntod ni Grandma Eve. Sa loob ng halos mahigit isang buwan mula nang pumanaw ang matanda, hindi na niya alam kung ilang beses na siyang dumadalaw doon. That place is her only place of solace. Mugulo pa rin kasi sa mansiyon. Mainit pa rin ang dugo ni Richard sa kanya. At si Zyrone, malamig pa rin ang pakikitungo sa kanya.Miranda treats her well though, paminsan-minsan kapag hindi nito kasama si Richard. Maging si Estelita, mabait din sa kanya. The old maid still personally helps her with her everyday needs, just like when Grandma Eve was still alive. And she is content that despite of all the chaos of the past a month and a half, nakakasilip pa rin siya ng mumunting kabutihan sa mga kasama niya sa loob ng mansiyon.But sometimes, the mansion still gets too suffocating for her that she needed to get away from it for awhile. Kaya siya laging pumupunta sa puntod ni Grandma Eve. Gusto niyang magsum
