Marrying The Billionaire Chapter 54
HINDI PA NGA ako nakakapagtipa ng sagot, tumunog na ang cellphone ko sa tawag."What are you doing?"I sighed and turned off the lights. "Checking my messages. Why?""Messages from who?"My heart slightly jumped. Iniisip ko pa kung kasali ba ito sa plano nila ni Fiona? He already has the position. The only thing he should do now is to rat my father's plans out and stop talking to me but there isn't a sign he would."From... people.""From your ex?""Puwede ba, Damon. He's blocked here and I am not stupid. I don't want to be associated with him again. If I'll do that, marrying you was for nothing.""Then messages from who, Ysa?""From people. Hello? I'm pretty and I have a social life despite the last months that I was isolated. Siyempre may mag me-message sa akin.""So you're not sleeping yet, huh? You're still entertaining the messages?""Nope, since someone is hogging my phone activity right now.""Bakit mo pa re-reply-an ang mga mag me-message sa'yo. You're exhausted and you're pro

HINDI AKO MAPAKALI sa mga sumunod na araw. Kahit sa iilang meeting at iilang projects na h-in-andle ko, bumagabag sa isipan ko ang nalaman.I don't want to see Papa, too. Tuwing nagkakasalubong kami sa lobby, pilit akong umiiwas.There is something about what I've learned that made me a bit distant to him. Alam kong hindi ko pa naman nakukumpirma iyon. I don't know if Fiona is even my halfsister and a part of me doesn't believe it but it's hard to take it off my head now, after all of that.I've been looking forward for this day because I will meet the investigator. Sa isang malapit na hotel restaurant sa office kami magmi-meet at dahil sa kaba ko, medyo maaga akong dumating.I was about to enter the area when from afar, I saw Lavender Soledad. Nakatayo siya at palapit sa isang lamesa. Wearing her all black suit and slacks, her her up in a high ponytail, she then stopped on a table. I gritted my teeth. Didiretso na sana ako papasok nang natanaw ko kung sino ang kikitain niya. In fron

PAGKATAPOS naming pag-usapan ang iba pang detalye at ang constant meetings namin, agad na rin naman kaming natapos. Hindi naman ganoon ka hectic iyong meeting kaya hindi ko alam kung bakit matindi ang pagod ko.Maybe it was emotional stress but I was really so tired. Nasa kama na agad ako pagkatapos kong maligo at magbihis ng pambahay. It's still seven in the evening. I hung around my mother's phone number for a while. Siguro sa pag-aalala. Siguro gusto ko ring malaman niya ang alam ko. Pero alam kong hindi dapat ako nagpapadalos dalos, kahit ano pa man ang nararamdaman ko.A tear fell as I remember what I saw a while ago. Sa itsura ni Papa at base na rin sa pagkikita nila ni Fiona noon, mukha namang hindi niya ito kilala. Kung totoo nga iyon, siguro hindi niya nga alarm. Bakit kaya sila nagkita kanina? Ano ang sinabi ni Fiona? At unang pagkikita ba nila 'to na sila lang dalawa? Mukhang seryoso pa ang pinag-usapan nila.Pumikit ako nang na-dial ang numero ni Mama. Wala akong sasabihin

I FELT the worst every after my meetings with Mr. Vera. Madalas kaming mag meet, Ialo na sa unang isang linggo dahil madali raw makuha ang mga impormasyon at pareparehong importante iyon.I looked at a picture of my father when he was younger, and Ashley Ortega, my mother's half sister."So Miss Ashley is already abroad for years now..." si Mr. Vera.Tumango ako. Alam ko iyon. She had a mental illness. Alam kong ipinasok siya sa isang mental institution to cope up with it. She got better years after I was born. Kaunti lang ang alaala ko sa kanya dahil bukod sa mukhang isang beses ko lang siyang na-meet, agad din siyang umalis ng bansa nang naka recover.The next photograph is of Ashley Ortega and a child in her checkered powder blue jumper."This is La Fiona Suarez" si Mr. Vera at nagpakita pa ng ibang pictures ni Fiona na parehong itsura at suot sa batang nakahawak kamay ni Ashley Ortega."This photo was taken at Sunrise Children's Home and Orphanage."I swallowed hard and looked at

WHILE DRIVING, I thought of many bitter things. I thought of my father giving Fiona a sportscar. Ano ang gagawin ko kung malaman ni Mr. Vera na galing nga kay Papa iyon?What was that for, anyway? Pantapal sa ilang taong wala siya sa buhay ni Fiona? He'll give her grand gifts?Knowing my father, and how he spoils me rotten, I don't think the sportscar is the last thing he'll give her.What am I thinking about? Stupid, Ysa. If she was his daughter, then he must shower her with those gifts. She deserves it. She even deserved to be spoiled more than you, Ysa. Kasi ilang taon siyang naghirap ng wala si Papa. Pambawi na lang sa lahat ng taong iyon.I don't know why but even when it was reasonable, even when it was what he should do, it hurt me so much. I feel like everything would never be the same again.Is he proud that even without our family name and riches, she built her own name and became a lawyer? I swallowed hard and realized that I lived a lavish life, as a Montero's princess. An

"So, ilang beses ka nang nakapunta sa Carlzon Morata Rome?" I asked casually, trying not to sound like I'm dishing something else."More or less ten times, Ysa. You want to visit?""Nah. Nagustuhan ko nga lang ang interiors ng lobby kaya napaisip ako. lyon kasi ang kokopyahin ko for the next project. Hmm. All the times you visit, you were alone?""Yeah. And for work."I sighed and realized that he won't tell me anything. Iniisip kong imposible na hayaan niya si Fiona na bumisita sa Italy na mag-isa, at sa hotel pa na pinagtatrabahuhan niya. For sure there are things that he can't tell me. And this is one of it.Parang lason na kumalat ang pait sa sikmura ko nang natanto iyon. Even if he's physically attracted with me, he would never reveal his secret. It's more important to him. He's helping La Fiona Suarez so why will he drop her that way?"Talaga, kahit kailan... wala kang kasamang pumunta roon?"He paused for a while before he answered. "Yes, Ysa. Is there a problem?""l was just c

THE NEXT WEEK CAME. Imbes na sa restaurant kami magkita ni CJ Vera, minabuti kong sa isang tahimik na bar na lang. Bukod sa madilim at hindi kami mabilis makita ng kahit Sino, imposible pang makita namin si Papa o kahit si Fiona doon.Restaurants slightly made me uncomfortable. Sa ilang beses ko silang nahuli tuwing pumupunta sa restaurant, pakiramdam ko tuwing nasa isang restaurant ako, makikita ko sila."The sportscar is a new one under the name of your father,"Tinitigan ko ang nilapag ni Mr. Vera na mga dokumento."Makes sense. He can't buy one and name it to someone else. I-alo na kung tinatago niya kay Mama. My mom looks at all our finances," I said. I can't find any paternity test under their name anywhere so they haven't done the DNA testing yet."Namimilog ang mga mata kong nag-angat ng tingin kay Mr. Vera."Anywhere? All labs?""Yes. I do cases like these all the time so I have the connection to each laboratory that does the DNA testing. These are also very private files, b

THESE PAST few months, I've learned that decisions made due to impulsiveness in the past were usually mistakes. Kaya nga iniiwasan kong magdesisyon agad-agad. Pero inaamin ko na hindi ako perpekto, at hindi ko kayang panatilihin palagi ang pagbabago na gusto ko para sa sarili ko.My anger got into my head, especially after the next words she said."Really? Or is that part of your delusions now?" I smiled insultingly, gustong gustong maka panakit din dahil sa tindi ng galit.She smirked too. "You wish.""My father is an honorable man. He's have his fair share of mistakes in the past, but I am sure you're not one of them," I said mercilessly.Napawi ang ngisi niya sa sinabi ko. She looked pissed and I have nothing but pleasure when I saw her fail to control her real emotions."Kaya kung ano man 'yang paninira na pinaplano n'yo ni Damon, para sa pamilya ko o sa kompanya, hindi kayo magtatagumpay. You reek of desperation and it's what's going to make you fail..."I said and tried to walk

Marrying The Billionaire Chapter 90
NANG nasa tamang palapag na, nasa pintuan niya na agad ako. I clicked the door bell and waited for his door to open. He opened it after seconds. His eyes darkened when he saw me standing outside. Nagtaas din ang kilay niya at isang beses na marahang pumikit. "Why are you here?" he asked, a ghost of a smile is hiding on his lips. "Ayaw mo ba ako rito?" sagot ko, nanatili sa labas ng pintuan niya. He then crossed his arms. Hindi niya ako pinapapasok. Nanatili ang tingin niya sa akin. "Nagpaalam ka ba?" I rolled my eyes. "Hindi na ako bata, Damon. I can do whatever I want whenever I want. My father is just being overprotective but it's already out of place. I'm not a teenager." He nodded and swallowed hard. "Hindi na kita ginising kanina. Your father also told me to just go home so..." Umiling ako sa inaasal ni Papa. "Yup. I got tired of waiting and I was exhausted so..." Nagtagal ang tingin naming dalawa bago siya tumango, para bang natauhan. "Hinatid ko Sina Tiya sa bahay kani

PAGKATAPOS ng usapan namin sa study, Damon was also summoned. I have heard he's arrived a while ago. He's just waiting for my father's call. Kaya nang tinawag siya ni Papa at inasahan ni Papa na sila lang muna ang magkakausap, hinayaan ko na.I was also exhausted from all of what happened the whole day. Kaya sa pagod at paghihintay ko na matapos ang meeting nila, hindi ko na tuloy naabutan"Si Damon?" tanong ko nang bumaba.Natanaw kong nasa sala na si Mama at Papa. I assume that their meeting with him is done."Umuwi na," si Papa."He wanted to stay and wait for you for a while but your father here told him that you're exhausted for the day. Kaya minabuti niyang umuwi na lang para pagpahingahin ka,"Tumango ako at saglit na nag-isip. My father excused himself when his phone rang. Dumiretso naman ako sa kusina para kumuha ng tubig at saglit na magpahinga.Kalaunan, nang gumabi, I had dinner with my parents. My brothers were also invited and that was the time when my parents explained
Marrying The Billionaire Chapter 88
"IT'S NEGATIVE," kuya informed me.Natigilan ako saglit. The relief came afterwards. Although I have doubts, recent events and realizations made me renew my faith towards my father. Lalo na dahil kinausap niya mismo si Ashley Ortega, at na alam ni Mama ang tungkol dito.To know that the results were really negative was such a big relief."The positive tests were not published, as instructed.""Positive tests?""The one with a different sample, Ysa. Tama nga ang sinabi mo. She probably did get some samples from you "That was a speculation but it's different to hear it that way.Hindi ako makapaniwala na umabot nga'ng talaga si Fiona doon. I hated her to the bones but now that everything is revealed, I realized there was a part of me who hoped that she was credible. Desperate but still credible. But knowing this right now, it seems like everything is crumbling.She is desperate and she is a liar. Maybe, she didn't really want to hurt me that night, she only want my sample, but it was a
Marrying The Billionaire Chapter 87
AFTER what Damon has said, Papa stepped in and lorded the floor. Siya naman ngayon ang binuhusan ng tanong na kaswal niya namang sinagot. Halos paulit-ulit lang ang mga tanong ng reporters, naghihintay na magkamali sa isasagot pero dahil totoo lahat ng mga sagot ni Papa, hindi sila nakahanap ng butas.The press conference ended. Takot akong magbasa sa mga panibagong articles at tulala pa ako sa study ni Papa habang pinoproseso ang mga nasagot nila roon. Damon just revealed everything! I'm not planning to keep our relationship a secret but I was also shocked that it's that openHe wanted to protect me so he had to reveal the truth. Hindi ko nga lang alam kung paniniwalaan iyon ng mga tao but seeing that he has a good credibility from the press, they'd tone down for sure.Sa dami ng iniisip ko, hindi ko na halos namalayan ang nagdaang oras. Nagulat na lang ako nang pumasok sa study si Papa, kasunod si Mama at si Damon. Napatayo ako galing sa pagkakaupo sa swivel chair at agad na sinalub
Marrying The Billionaire Chapter 86
PAGKALABAS ng sasakyan ko, natanaw nga namin na may iilang ang nag-aabang sa lobby. Iniisip ko na paniguradong mas maraming nag-aabang sa condo ni Damon ngayon. Mas interesado ang mga taong malaman ang sasabihin niya dahil mas pinagkakatiwalaan siya kumpara sa akin.Tahimik ako sa biyahe. Damon couldn't stop watching me even as he drives the car. Sinalubong ako ng iilang kasambahay namin nang nakarating. Damon made sure that I went inside our house. At ibinalita sa akin na wala si Mama at Papa roon dahil maaga sila sa opisina. My father's conference will be moved today because of the news.Binalingan ko si Damon."Hintayin na Ianq natin si Mama at Papa rito para makausap natin."Damom shook his head. "I'll talk to your parents now, Ysa.""Pero Damon, ang daming media. For sure they will want your statement.""Then I'll give my statement."Tinitigan ko siya, punong puno ng pag-aalala."Don't worry, okay?""You haven't been in an intrigue this big. The media can be harsh and they twist
Marrying The Billionaire Chapter 85
I COULDN'T believe that I had such a good night sleep despite everything that happened that day. O siguro dahil nawala ang mga mabibigat na nakadagan sa isipan ko. The DNA test was done, I had a good conversation and a more open relationship with Damon... and I think that is enough, despite the chaos.Nga lang, kadidilat pa lang ng mga mata ko kinaumagahan, nakita ko na ang abalang mga mensahe sa cellphone ko. I saw missed calls from my cousins, which was unusual.Napabalikwas ako sa kama nang natanaw na tumatawag si Nics. Sinagot ko agad iyon."What?" I said."Awake, finally? Sorry to bring bad news to your morning but...""What?" I said in anticipation."Your father is busy answering the media's questions right now. Apparently, the nature of your relationship with Damon leaked. I traced it earlier this morning, Fiona Suarez was interviewed by an insider, kaya kumalat-""What?!" Napatayo ako.Nics filled me with the details. Ni hindi pa niya alam ang buong pangyayari pero kagabi raw
Marrying The Billionaire Chapter 84
HINDI KO alam kung paano ko sasabihin sa kanya iyon. I-alo na dahil pinagbigyan niya si Papa sa isang pabor na puwedeng sumira rin sa pangalan niya - ang pakasalan ako.It was as if he trusted my family so much, he dedicated his life to us. And now, when problems rise, it's my family who threw him out of the bus."I mean...""I'm not trying to change his mind about it, Ysa. Gusto ko lang din... humarap sa parents mo. Bilang... boyfriend mo."I gritted my teeth. Not because I was angry, I was trying not to feel a leap in my heart. I cleared my throat and tried to compose myself. Hinuli niya ang mga mata ko at agad akong nanlumo nang muling naalala ang problema."I'm sorry.."I'm sorry what?" he said with a low tone.Hinuli niya ang mga mata ko."Nagulat ako sa sinabi ni Papa kanina. Hindi ko alam paano sasabihin sa kanya na boyfriend kita-""That's alright. I don't mind if I have to face him to tell him that, Ysa,"Kinagat kong muli ang labi ko. "Ang totoo... sinabi niyang„, a-ayaw niy
Marrying The Billionaire Chapter 83
SA TOTOO LANG, hindi ko alam kung ano ang gagawin ko pagkatapos sabihin ni Damon iyon. He looked at me intently, not sure if he's waiting for an answer or just weighing my reaction"It's your family's problem," I said as my throat run dry."It is. But I want to consult you. we both know that this is still somehow related to you... or us."Napatingin ako sa kanya at agad ko namang ibinaling sa ibang bagay ang mga mata ko."Umuwi ka na lang at kausapin mo sila. I won't mind."His brow furrowed and he remained looking at me.Napatingin din tuloy ako sa kanya, ako naman ngayon ang naninimbang. What does he want me to say? Hindi ba iyon naman ang tamang gawin niya? Ayaw kong makialam sa pag-uusapan nila dahil bago pa ako, nariyan na si Fiona. Kamag-anak niya ang Tiyo at Tiya niya. Kahit pa tingin nila'y mag-asawa kami, it's not true. I'm just his girlfriend. And even if we were indeed married, I can't just butt in on their family affairs."It's your family's problem. Oo, I may be related t
Marrying The Billionaire Chapter 82
NAKIKINIG ako pero habang ganoon ay natanaw ko na nakatitig si Papa sa akin. I looked at him as well. He sighed and nodded before talking."Alam kong naipaliwanag ko na ang nangyari sa inyo ni Damon, pero gusto ko lang sabihin na nagsisisi ako sa mga naging padalos dalos kong desisyon."Both my cousins looked at me. Natahimik ako at nakinig lang kay Papa."I know I should've done this the moment I revealed that your marriage wasn't filed, but I was a coward and I still wanted my plan to work. To cover up for your pasts scandals, Ysa."He held his hand up in the air to stop me from talking.Umaamba akong magsasalita."Pagkatapos lumabas ng resulta, gusto ko nang sabihin sa media na hindi totoo ang pagpapakasal ninyo ni Damon. That I did that as a parent who tried to make wrong things right, the wrong way. It was a foolish decision and I take full responsibility over it."Nabitin sa ere ang mga sasabihin ko sa gulat sa sinabi ni papa."l don't want Damon for you..." he said.My eyes wid
