AWKWARD. Pagsapit ng umaga, gan'yan kaagad ang bumalot sa buong kusina ng pumasok si Coz at nadatnan akong kumakain ng almusal. Napatigil pa ako sa akmang pagsubo pero hindi ako nag-angat ng tingin sa kanya. Nanatili lang akong nakatingin sa plato ko. And when he walked towards the chair adjacent to mine, I held my breath for a second but went back to my reverie immediately. I don't want him to know that I'm feeling different towards him.Halos tunog lang ng aming mga kubyertos ang siyang naririnig dahil walang umiimik sa'min. Walang gustong magsalita dahil ano nga ba naman ang sasabihin namin?I don't want to think about what happened last night anymore. But seeing him this early made me remembered it clearly. Ang linaw ng imahe ng mga pangyayari kagabi. Para na nga akong nanonood ng sine.That kiss was... I don't know. I don't know what to say about it. It shouldn't happened in the first place. Funny how I repeated countlesslyKaugnay na kabanata

(Reese's POV)I asked but he didn't responded. I waited for him to talked but he didn't, even after a few minutes. I let out a sigh of defeat. Here we go again. He'll tell me to ask him but he'll just remain silent when I asked him. This is the main reason why I was having a second thought of coming here and talk to him. Mananahimik siya o kaya naman ay iibahin niya ang usapan. He's good in doing that and it's so annoying like hell.I was about to get up from the chair and ready to leave the library when he suddenly broke the silence."I saved you."One of my brows raised high before I rolled my eyes. There goes the 'I saved you' excuse again. Why do they kept on using that to me everytime I asked them that question? Mahirap bang sabihin ang sagot? O baka naman sadyang ayaw lang talaga nilang sabihin ang mga bagay na gusto kong malaman?I wanted to know the truth. Deserve ko naman sigurong malaman dahil ako ang labis na na-aapektuhan, 'di

(Reese's POV)HIS jaw dropped and his eyes widened upon hearing me said those words. And that's the moment I truly realized what I just said. I instantly averted my gaze because of embarrassment and then mentally scolded myself.What the actual hell, Reese? Really? Those kind of words?"Y-You..."I looked at him, wearing my poker face to hide the embarrassment. "Forget about what I said," agad na sabi ko. "I was just... Just forget about it."Why did I even said those things after all? At kay Coz oa talaga? Okay lang sana kung sa mga kaibigan ko dahil sanay na sila sa bardagulang usapan, but with Coz? Ang bobo ko talaga.He stared at me for a moment. "I didn't expected you to say those kind of words." I glared at him. Sinabi na ngang kalimutan na niya ang kung ano mang sinabi pero nagkomento pa talaga.I kept silent. He waited for me to respond but I din't. He looked mad at me for doing that but I didn't cared at all. Th
Marrying The Multi-Billionaire CEO Chapter 63
(Reese's POV)ILANG araw pa ang lumipas na wala kaming pansinan ni Coz. Oo nga at nasa iisang bahay lang kami pero hindi kami nag-uusap. Kapag nagkakasalubong kami, parehas kaming nag-iiwas ng tingin. Walang gustong ma-unang mag-approach. Parang nagpapataasan kami ng pride.Katulad ngayon, he wanted me to leave the living room and go upstairs because someone is coming pero imbea na sabihin sa'kin ng diretso, he went to the kitchen where Alice was. Kay Alice niya sinabi para sabihin sa'kin. I almost rolled my eyes when Alice came to me.Inis na tumayo ako at padabog na pumanhik sa kwarto ko. Nasa kabilang sofa lang naman siya kanina pero bakit kailangan niya pang ipasabi kay Alice? Gan'on ba niya ako ka-ayaw kausapin to the point na mang-iistorbo pa siya ng ibang tao?Padapang nahiga ako sa kama at ibinaon ang mukha ko sa unan bago frustrated na sumigaw. I wanted to shout and let out my frustrations. Nakakainis na.I didn't know how l
Marrying The Multi-Billionaire CEO Chapter 64
(Reese's POV)BALISA ako habang nagmamaneho patungo sa apartment ni Olive. I didn't texted or called her that I'll be visiting her. Tinanong ko lang kung may lakad siya at sinabi naman niyang wala at nasa apartment lang siya. I'll just surprise her para hindi niya ako takasan. Baka kapag sinabi kong pupuntahan ko siya, magpalusot lang siyang may pupuntahan.Kailangan ko ng makakausap. Mababaliw ako kapag sinarili ko ang problema ko. And the conversation with Coz earlier didn't helped. Mas lalo lang ako na-stress.'Come home to me. I'll be waiting for you, wife.'...that's what he said huskily. Yes, huskily. Parang boses kagigising lang na siyang labis na nagpatayo sa mga buhok sa batok ko. Bumilis din ang tibok ng puso ko kaya umatras ako at nagmamadaling tinalikuran siya. Halos takbuhin ko na nga ang kinaroroonan ng kotse niyang madalas kong gamitin para lang makalayo kaagad sa kanya. Kung mananatili pa akong malapit sa kanya kahit sandali lang, hindi
Marrying The Multi-Billionaire CEO Chapter 65
(Reese's POV)HINDI ko alam kung naka-ilang tagay na ako ng makaramdam ako ng pagka-ihi. Nang mapatingin ako sa center table, dalawang bote na pala ng soju ang walang laman at kalahati na lang din ang natitira sa boteng kasalukuyan naming iniinom.Bago ako tumayo at tumungo sa banyo, uminom muna ako ng tubig para ibsan kahit konti lang ang nararamdaman kong pagkahilo. Umikot pa ang paningin ko ng makatayo ako kaya muntikan na akong mabuwal kung hindi lang ako nakahawak sa balikat ni Olive. She looked up at me with a confused look. I shook my head, assuring her that it was just nothing.She nodded. Hindi niya pala napansin na muntikan na akong mabuwal kanina. And thanks God that she really didn't saw me dahil baka pagtawanan niya lang ako. Baka sabihin pa niyang mas mahina akong uminom kaysa sa kanya. And that's not true. Siya ang mas mabilis malasing sa aming dalawa. Siya ang laging unang tumatakbo sa banyo. Siya ang laging unang nakakatulog dahi
Marrying The Multi-Billionaire CEO Chapter 66
(Reese's POV)BWISIT. That's the perfect way to describe Joseph Coz Taylor right now. Napakabalahura ng bunganga. Ang dapat sa kanya ay nagmumumog ng holy water para mabasbasan ang bunganga niya. Kung ano-ano na lang kasing kabalastugan ang mga sinasabi niya.I'm not a greenminded. Well, maybe just a little. Pero simula no'ng nakasalamuha ko siya, kung ano-ano na lang ang pumapasok sa isip ko. Nakakahawa ang sakit niya.Nakakaloka. Ang hirap intindihin ng ugali niya. Napakagulo. Sobra. Minsan ang sarap niyang sapakin at ilibing ng buhay. Minsan naman ay hindi ko na alam kung matutuwa ba ako o maiinis sa pagiging tahimik niya.Coz brings out the best and worst in me. Parang ang sama-sama kong tao sa t'wing nag-uusap kami dahil parang inaaway ko siya. Sino ba naman kasi ang hindi maiinis kapag hindi sumasagot ang tinatanong mo? 'Yong tipong bago kayo magtanungan, sasabihing 'you can ask anything', pero kapag nagtanong ka na, hindi ka naman
Marrying The Multi-Billionaire CEO Chapter 67
(Reese's POV)HINDI ko alam kung ilang oras na akong nakatulala lang sa notes ko. For the first 3 hours, okay pa naman ang oagre-review ko. Maybe because it's for the minor subjects at walang computations. But when I started reviewing for one of my major subjects, parang nagsilayas na lahat ng braincells ko. Natulala na lang ako at kahit na ano'ng pilit kong ipasok sa utak ko ang mga information, wala talagang pumapasok. Wala pa ngang exam, na-mental block na ako kaagad.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Maybe I just need to rest. Maybe I overused my brain.I stood up and walked towards the mini refrigerator that Coz had prepared for me. Up until now, I still can't figured out why he prepared all of these things. Parang napaka-concern naman niya.Bakit niya kailangang gawin ito? May gusto ba siyang patunayan? Kung oo, ano naman?Gusto niya bang patunayan na kahit ano, pwede niyang gawin? I can't understand why. Bakit? Pwede naman a
Marrying The Multi-Billionaire CEO Chapter 68
(Reese'POV)Naramdaman kong nagulat siya sa ginawa ko. He stiffened as our lips met. But I didn't give even a single damn about it. It was just a peck. Just a simple and short touch of our lips. No big deal.I distanced my face from him with a wide smile still plastered on my face. I let go of him and excitedly get the plastic he's holding."Thanks, hubby." I happily said to him before tasting the fruit tea. And the moment I tasted it, my eyes automatically closed because of how delicious it is. "This is really good!" I happily chirped like a kid who got her favorite chocolate.I drank almost half of it before looking at Coz, the straw's still between my lips. My forehead creased when I saw his reaction. His looking at me dumbfounded, like he can't believe what he's seeing right now.Dahan-dahan kong pinakawalan ang straw ng mapagtanto ko kung ano ang ginawa ko, ilang minuto lang ang nakakalipas. Napalunok ako dahil sa katangahang nagawa ko.Damn, Rose Destiny!

(Coz's POV)PINANOOD kong unti-unting nawawala sa paningin ko ang kabaong ng kapatid ko. Just the thought of not going to see her again smiling made me clenched my fist. Bakit siya pa? What did she do wrong for her to suffer these things? She don't deserved to be in this position. Whoever the reason behind this will pay...big time.Dumiretso kaagad ako sa opisina pagkaalis ko sa sementeryo. I have lots to do and I want to know who did that to my sister. I'll make that person's life a living hell. Hindi siya makakatakas sa ginawa niya.After some minutes, my Secretary entered together with someone I really know. Kaagad itong may inilapag na envelope sa lamesa ko. Sinenyasan ko ang Secretary ko na iwanan muna kami na kaagad namang sumunod."Nand'yan na po lahat ng gusto niyong malaman sa pinapaimbestigahan niyo, Sir," aniya.With gritted teeth, I opened the envelope and pulled out the documents. My eyes squinted at the words I'm reading. He's right. Narito na lahat ng kailangan kong m

(Reese's POV)WE'RE ENGAGED. It was an epic engagement but it's worth it. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala sa pinili kong desisyon. Sumugal ulit ako kahit walang kasiguraduhan na hindi na ako matatalo. Pero gano'n naman talaga kapag sumugal ka, hindi mo alam ang magiging resulta. Sana lang ay mapunta sa akin ang swerte at hindi ako matalo bandang huli.We're not perfect. Be both have our own red flag. But we're both working on that. He never ffailed to tell me how much he loves me every single day. At sa bawat hindi ko pagsagot, kita ko ang sakit sa mga mata niya pero agad din namang nawawala at napapalitan ng pagmamahal. Hindi ko intensyon na iparamdam sa kanya ang gano'n at hindi rin ako naghihiganti sa ginawa niya.I was back to my reverie when someone snapped in front of my face."Kanina ka pa tulala habang nakatingin sa singsing mo, marecakes," nakangising saad ni Audrina. "Nang-iinggit lang ang peg?"I chuckled as I caressed it. "Hindi pa tuluyang nagsi-sinc in

(Reese's POV)THE night of the surprise came. He told me to wear something comfortable. Kahit hindi naman niya sabihin, talagang 'yon ang gagawin ko. I'm into jeans, not dresses. Shoes and not heels. Ni hindi na nga rin ako naglagay ng make-up at basta na lang sinuklay ang buhok ko.When I went out of the room and walked down the stairs, his attention went to me. May kausap ito sa cellphone pero ang atensyon niya ay na sa'kin. That made me smile. I believe him.I talked to his mother last night. She explained what happened after I left. She made me realized lots of things. And I was shock that their love story was almost similar to ours. Tito also fooled her—her words, not mine. Hindi raw niya ako pipiliting paniwalaan lahat ng sinasabi ni Coz. Ang tanging gusto lang daw niya ay subuan kong intindihin ang mga rason niya. After this night, kung hindi ko pa rin daw kayang tanggapin muli si Coz, desisyon ko na raw 'yon at wala na siyang magagawa.Ilang oras akong nag-isp kung ano ang da
Marrying The Multi-Billionaire CEO Chapter 108
(Reese's POV)PIGIL NA PIGIL ko ang sarili kong matawa sa itsura ni Coz. He looks confused but he still managed to nod his head. That made me smile. Tumayo ako ng maayos bago kinuha ang cellphone sa bulsa ko at may tinawagan."Where the fuck are you?!" kaagad na bungad nito pagkasagot sa tawag ko. "Matinong sagot ang kailangan ko, Rose Destiny. Bigla-bigla ka na lang aalis ng walang pasabi kung saan ka pupunta. Letse ka talaga!""Relax, Olivia!" I said with a smile on my face as I stare at Coz who's still confused as to this moment. "I'm with him." There's no need to tell who I'm talking about. Alam niya kung sino ang tinutukoy ko. "I'll stay here for awhile. Don't worry about me.""Loudspeaker this phone right now!" she demanded like she's the boss of me. "Right now, Reese!""Chill. I'll do it," I said then did what she wants and put the phone above Coz's table. "She wants to talk to you." I mouthed to Coz and he just nodded."I know we're not that close, Taylor, but I want you to
Marrying The Multi-Billionaire CEO Chapter 107
(Reese's POV)WHAT he said caught me off guard. My eyes almost popped out as I stare at him looking at me softly. I can't believe that I'm seeing fondness in his usual cold eyes. Is this for real?Mapakla akong natawa. Mahina sa umpisa hanggang sa unti-unting medyo naging malakas. Hinila ko ang kamay kong hawak niya at tumayo. "Y-You..." Napa-iling ako habang natatawa pa rin. "T-That's a good joke," sabi ko.He pressed his lips as he stared at me. "I'm serious."Pinahupa ko muna ang pagtawa ko bago siya sinagot. "It didn't look as a joke to me." Seryoso siya? Mahal niya ako? Hindi ko alam kung nagpapatawa ba siya o nanggagago na naman para utuhin ako.I know it's not right to judge a person pero iba kasi pagdating sa kanya. I should be happy right now hearing him say those 3 words and 8 letters to me pero hindi. Sino ba naman ang hindi matutuwa kapag narinig mo mismo sa taong mahal mo na mahal ka rin niya? That your love for that person isn't unrequited after all?Every woman deserve

(Reese's POV)GULAT ako sa nakikita ko at hindi ko napigilang umawang ang mga labi ko. Pero pagkaraan ng ilang segundo, nakabawi ako at naging blangko ang ekspresyon ng mukha ko."What are you doing here, Mr. Taylor?" I asked in a business tone like he always do every time he's talking to someone. "What's the visit for?"And the brute just smirked at me. I gritted my teeth and stopped myself from smacking his face. Wala akong pakialam kung gwapo pa rin ito kahit na basa na siya ng ulan. Alam na ngang malakas ang ulan, naglakas-loob pang lusungin ito. Akala mo naman ay waterproof ang hudyo."I'm here to pick up my wife," he simply said like he's just asking for a water."Maling lugar ang pinuntahan mo kung asawa mo ang hinahanap mo," walang emosyon na sagot ko. "Wala dito ang hinahanap mo, Mr. Taylor," dagdag ko pa. Bakit ba kasi ito nandito?"Wala?" Mapakla siyang natawa. "Why don't you let me in—""Gago ka ba?!" hindi ko napigilang isinghal sa kanya. "Let you in? Bakit, aber? Sino

(Reese's POV)MY MIND tried to processed what she said but it's declining everything. Naguguluhan ako dahil bakit ako ang dahilan? Ano ang kinalaman ko sa kanya? Ilang buwan na kaming walang communication kaya bakit ako damay?"H-Hospitalized?... L-Last week?... B-Because of m-me?" putol-putol na paninigurado. I can't formulate the exact words that I want to say because my mind was in chaos. "Narinig mo naman ang sinabi ko, 'di ba?" medyo iritang sagot niya pero binalewala ko na lang."W-What happened? Is he okay? Na-discharge na ba siya?" Sunod-sunod na tanong ko. Wala na dapat akong pakialam sa kanya, kung ano ang kalagayan niya, pero hindi ko maiwasan. Dapat kinakalimutan ko na siya pero hindi ko magawa.What happened? Ano na naman ang dahilan kung bakit siya naospital? Ano ang kinalaman ko? Okay lang ba siya?"Bakit ka nagtatanong ng gan'yan? Dapat kinakalimutan mo na siya, 'di ba? Bakit may pakialam ka pa sa kanya?""May pinagsamahan naman kami—""Pero niloko ka niya!" inis na p

(Reese's POV)"KANINO galing?" I asked Audrina after she handed me a box of doughnuts from Autumn's."Sa'kin malamang. Ako nagbigay, 'di ba?" She rolled her eyes."Kung isampal ko kaya sa'yo 'to?" I countered and acted like I was about to slapped the box to her. "Ano?" hamon ko pa.Instead of answering, she turned her back at me and even flipped her hair."Pikon ka talaga kahit kailan, Aurora." pang-aasar ko pa gamit ang nickname na ibinigay ko sa kanya."Tangina mo! Audrina ang pangalan ko, hindi Aurora, gago!" sigaw niya mula sa kusina na ikinatawa ko.Sa mga nakalipas na panahon, mas naging close pa kami. Minsan nga ay nagseselos na si Olive dahil mas madalas kong kasama si Audrina. Sabi nga ni Desiree, malapit na raw kaming magkamukha dahil halos kung nasaan ang isa, nando'n din ang isa."Tumanda ka sanang dalaga." aniya ng bumalik ito sa sala habang may hawak na tasa na sigurado akong kape na naman ang laman."Kape now, palpitate later." sabi ko nang maka-upo ito sa kaharap kong
Marrying The Multi-Billionaire CEO Chapter 103
(Reese's POV)AFTER knowing the news, hindi ko alam kung paano ko kinayang makauwi ng ligtas. I was shaking and nervous. Umiiyak ako dahil sa labis na pag-aalala.The news said it was not his fault but he was injured. At hindi nakatulong na hindi man lang binanggit kung ano ang tinamo niya. Nabalian ba siya? Nauntog ba? Wala. Walang nabanggit.The last thing I remembered before I fell asleep was that I cried so hard upon reaching my bed. Gusto ko siyang puntahan. Gusto kong malaman ang kalagayan niya. Pero wala akong ibang magawa kung hindi umiyak na LANG. Umaasa akong maayos ang kalagayan niya. That he's not severely injured or something.When I woke up, I found Desiree peacefully sleeping beside me and holding my left hand. Dahan-dahan akong umalis sa kama para hindi siya magising. When I checked the time, it was already 9 in the morning.I went to the kitchen as I scrolled through my social media accounts, trying to find some news about him. Medyo nakahinga ako ng maluwag nang may
