Marrying the Devilish CEO [ENGLISH VER.] Chapter 7.1
07: The Deal Pt.1My lips trembled as I looked at my father. My mind struggled to process what he had just said. "This is... i-impossible," were the only words I managed to utter."Impossible as it may seem, but that's my condition, Symphony. You have to marry Wesley. Your mother mentioned that Wesley is now pursuing your child. If that's true, then you can use that as an advantage to marry him."He spoke as if he were negotiating a business deal, as if his condition wouldn't affect my entire life. As if he didn't know what kind of person Wesley was."And what if I don't agree to your condition?"He raised an eyebrow. "Then you should start packing your things. I'll send you back to New Zealand, whether you like it or not. If possible, I'll drag you out of here."Another set of fresh tears streamed down my face. I couldn't believe how casually he said those words, as if he couldn't feel the pain with each word that came out of his mouth."H-How could you do this to me, Pa? Why do you

07: The Deal Pt.2Wesley was looking straight at our daughter, completely ignoring my presence."What are you doing here, Mister Wesley?" Melody asked, surprised.I remained looking at Wesley, unsure of what I was feeling. Everything was a mix-up. I felt dizzy, and at any moment, I might suddenly throw up."You're looking for your Daddy, right? That's why I'm here," Wesley replied in a sweet tone to the child."I-I don't understand... Mommy..." I was brought back to my senses when I felt Melody's hand slightly shaking my arm. I turned to her. "Am I allowed to talk to Mister Wesley? You told me to stay away from him.""U-Uhm--""You said what?" Wesley interrupted, capturing my attention once again. "What were you telling Autumn, Symphony?" His face darkened. He was almost frowning, but when his eyes shifted to Melody, it softened."Mommy told me not to talk to strangers, Mister.""But I already told you my name, Autumn."I sensed that Melody was about to ask another question, so I stoo

07: The Deal Pt.3WESLEY"Can we still talk about this, Mr. Corpuz? You see, I can still find ways to solve the problem. Just... Just spare me some time to fix this."I was waiting for his reply. I knew this was going nowhere, but I still had to try my luck. I couldn't afford to lose another investor! I couldn't disappoint my parents!"I'm sorry, Mr. Borromeo. I know how important your company is to you, but it's also important for me to save my money. Almost everyone here knows your company's current situation. I don't want to go down with your company."I took a deep breath, trying hard to calm my nerves."I'm so sorry, Mr. Borromeo. I have to leave now." He gently tapped my shoulder before leaving the office."Fuck!" I frustratedly exclaimed, both hands clenched into fists. "Fuck this!" I threw the first thing I grabbed, causing a loud crash.It really frustrates me how people like Mr. Corpuz think that I could never save our company! Hell! I would do anything to save this damn com

08: The Unwanted Marriage Pt.1SYMPHONY"Oh my gosh! I really can't believe this! You're marrying Wesley! Are you out of your mind, Symphony?" Jovy exclaimed in annoyance.I sighed. I've sighed multiple times as I was fitting my wedding gown. My friends were with me. Jovy, in particular, couldn't stop expressing her disgust and disapproval when she found out that I was getting married."I already told you the reason, didn't I? I'm doing this for Melody," I replied, pursing my lips as Soffi asked me.That's also the question I have for myself. What will happen to me once I marry Wesley?"I'll be fine," I simply said, reassuring them.Whenever I remember how furious Wesley was when I saw him leaving my father's office, I can’t stop worrying for myself once I marry him. The way he looked at me at that time, it was as if he was truly capable of killing me. But I couldn't understand why he was so angry with me on that day. I had no idea about their conversation with Papa."Maybe you can st

08: The Unwanted Marriage Pt.2The ceremony continued, but I never looked at him again. I don't want to. Because if I see his eyes again, I might just run away from this place for good."Since it is your intention to enter into the covenant of Holy Matrimony, join your right hands and declare your consent before God and his Church," the priest continued. He then told us to repeat after him. My mind wandered elsewhere as I uttered the words. No matter how hard I tried to divert my thoughts from him, his face kept flashing in my head like a broken record meant to shatter my heart."Symphony, do you take Wesley to be your husband? Do you promise to be faithful to him in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love him and honor him all the days of your life?"I wanted this ceremony to end. I wanted to be alone and let out all the emotions I was feeling right now. Knowing that Red was just sitting on one of the benches behind me, watching me tie the knots with his cousin, mad

09: Life After the Wedding Pt.1"You should finish your food, Melody. Eat more vegetables," I quickly said, and Melody immediately shook her head. She pouted and look at me like she was about to cry."Melody is already full, Mommy. I don't want to eat anymore," she said still pouting."But you didn't touch the vegetables, honey. You only ate chicken nuggets and bacon." I brought the spoon closer to her, filled with vegetables."M-Mommy...""Don't force the child if she doesn't want to," Wesley's voice interrupted as he entered the dining area. He was fixing his tie, his gaze fixed on me."She needs to eat vegetables to get proper nutrients. She can't just rely on vitamins all the time," I reasoned."Daddy..." Wesley shifted his gaze to Melody, who now had a pleading look on her face. "I don't like vegetables," she added, her tears starting to flow.I heard him sigh. He approached Melody and gave her some water. "Okay, no more vegetables for you, Autumn. Stop crying, hmm?"I just stood

09: Life After the Wedding Pt.2I was awake the whole night. I struggled to fight off sleep, fearing that Wesley might suddenly enter my room and hurt me.I spent the rest of the night crying. I was starting to regret marrying him. If I didn't agree to marry him, I wouldn't feel this kind of fear. If I didn't marry a devil like him, I would have been sleeping soundly, with my mind and heart at ease.Do I have to continue living a life like this? What if he hurts me again? Seeing the intense anger in his eyes earlier, it's highly likely that he would hurt me again. Or worse... he might kill me.I sobbed again. My sobs echoed in the silent corners of my dark room. I held onto the wet pillow tightly, drenched in my tears, as if it could save my life from the danger that awaits outside my room.I have never been this scared before. I'm terrified to the point that I can't even breathe without trembling. That was the first time someone looked at me with so much hatred. I despise myself for

10: Lies In Her Eyes Pt.1"Take your medicine before you sleep, Symphony," Manang Anding said while clearing our dining table."H-Huh?"She paused and approached me. I flinched slightly as she placed her palm on my forehead. "You don't have a fever, but why do you look pale?" she asked, puzzled."Just tired, Manang."But I guess she didn't buy my excuse when she continued to stare into my eyes, as if she wanted to read the things that were troubling me."Do you have a problem, Symp?"I looked down. Manang Anding has been with me since I was a child. She practically raised me, so I know she can tell when something is wrong or not. She knows me better than I know myself, so there's no way I could lie to her."I had an argument with Wesley last night," I admitted."Is that why your husband didn't come home?""Maybe... I don't know." I looked up again when she held my hand. She squeezed it gently and smiled—a warm smile that made me feel relieved."In marriage, it's normal to have misunde

16: When Love Returns Pt.2Although I had made sure to keep myself busy throughout the week, I still couldn't resist giving in to what Melody wanted to happen.Right now, we're heading to an out-of-town beach resort. It's about a two-hour drive, so Melody is currently sleeping soundly on my lap, while Wesley is the one driving.We were just silent. No one was talking. The atmosphere felt tense and awkward. I tried to occupy myself by watching the beautiful view outside. We passed by plains filled with rice fields, corn, and various crops. The scenery was refreshing to the eyes, but Wesley's presence spoiled it. I couldn't fully appreciate the beautiful sights because of him.I heard him clear his throat. From the corner of my eye, I saw him glance at me through the rearview mirror. I ignored him and kept my gaze fixed outside. He didn't speak either, so I let it be. It was a good thing. His silence throughout the trip allowed me to breathe properly.After a few more minutes, Melody wo

16: When Love Returns Pt.1SYMPHONYThe faint smell of alcohol and medicine lingered in my nostrils as I slowly opened my eyes. I groaned as I felt the pain all over my body when I attempted to move a bit. When I finally saw the entirety of the room, that's when I realized I was in the hospital. My eyes still felt heavy, as did my entire body."Damn!" I hissed when I couldn't even move without feeling the pain in my back. It was torturous."Finally, you're awake." I flinched upon hearing that voice. I followed its source with my gaze. And there, I saw the devil sitting like a boss on the small couch in the corner.I remained silent. As much as I wanted to speak, my throat felt so dry that I couldn't find my voice.He straightened himself and crossed his arms. "I have to go. I'll just tell the nurse that you're awake."I watched him walk out the door. I sighed and rolled my eyes. I hoped he wouldn't come back.After a while, the nurse entered my room. She checked my vitals and asked ho

15: Love is Not Dead Pt.3"May I know your name, hijo?" Governor Del Martin asked before I could fully sit down."Reagan Dwight Guzman, Governor," I replied. I was on my way home from school when one of his bodyguards picked me up and informed me that Symphony's father wanted to talk to me, so I accepted the invitation."I was told that you're in a relationship with my daughter. Is that true?"I took a deep breath before respectfully answering, "Yes, Sir. We are in a relationship."He took off his glasses and leaned back. He rested on his chair and looked at me again. I maintained a straight posture on the sofa. I didn't know if I was nervous because I was facing the governor of our province or because it was the first time I was talking to my girlfriend's father."How long have you been together?""It's more than a year, Sir."He nodded and clasped his hands, resting his elbows on the armrest of his chair. "You know what responsibilities my daughter has, don't you?"I remained silent

15: Love is Not Dead Pt.2RED"Why don't you focus more on your studies, Reagan? Why do you prioritize playing music over studying diligently?" My mother lectured me while I kept my head down. I wanted to explain to her that music was an integral part of my life. That it wouldn't leave my system, but I didn't want her to get even angrier with me. I didn't want her to be mad at me."Didn't I tell you that you need to study hard? You need to finish your education. You need to become a professional engineer so that your father's new family won't look down on us anymore. Reagan, do you understand me, son?"I clenched my hands when I heard her mention my father. I knew that she wanted me to finish my studies and become a professional just to prove to my father that she could provide for me good education even though he left us for his new family.It hadn't been easy for my mother to support my education up to college. Ever since my father left, my mother had worked tirelessly just to provi

15: Love Is Not Dead Pt.1I was just staring at them with wide eyes. For the second time, I witnessed how Wesley and Red nearly killing each other. But this time, it was different. It was as if they really wanted to kill each other. No one was talking. They were just aiming to hit each other's faces with powerful punches.In fear that they might end up dying right in front of me, I quickly approached them and forcefully pulled Wesley away from Red, whose face was now covered in blood."Wesley! Wesley, stop! Leave Red alone!" I screamed in horror as his fist once again landed on Red's face. "Wesley, what are you doing?!" I turned to Wesley's companionsmen, who were just watching them like it was a show. What the fuck are they doing? "What?! Are you really going to let them kill each other here?" I shouted at them. They all turned to the biggest guy among them. I saw him nod at them, which prompted the others to move and stop the two from fighting.Even after they were separated, both o

14: Caged Pt.3I opened my eyes, only to be greeted by complete darkness. I immediately panicked. I sat up abruptly and strained to see my surroundings. I let out a sigh of relief when I realized that I was in my own room.I stood up and headed towards the light switch. As the room brightened, I quickly scanned my surroundings. The wall clock indicated that it was ten minutes to 4 am. I sighed. What happened to me?I tried to recall what had happened earlier, but I couldn't remember. I winced as I felt the pain at the back of my head. Oh, right. I got this when my head hit the wall after Wesley pushed me onto the sofa.The sudden thought of Wesley made me remember exactly what had happened last night. I quickly left the room and looked downstairs. I groaned when I saw numerous men guarding the house. They were stationed in almost every corner. He's really serious about keeping me here, huh?I glanced at Wesley's room. I walked slowly towards it, examining if he was there. When I turne

14: Caged Pt.2People envy me simply because I am a Del Martin. They say that the name given to me fits me so well, as they all believe that I am living a harmonious life. Just because I am the daughter of Gregorio Del Martin, they think I am enjoying a life free from all the difficulties in the world. But little did they know that my name was the complete opposite of the life that I have.Symphony Del Martin...Carrying that name, made me live a life that is full of agony, discomfort, and misfortune. My life is a shattered melody... It is extremely chaotic.I stared at him and tried to match the intensity of his gaze. I'm tired of always losing. I'm tired of being pitiful. I let him hurt me before because I didn't want to shatter Melody's belief that we were a happy family. I didn't want to hurt my child. But now that she's gone, taken away from me by her demonic father, I need to defend myself.With all my strength, I gave him a hard slap. I made sure to exert enough force that it c

14: Caged Pt.1SYMPHONYIt felt like I suddenly went deaf because of what he said. My brain tried to process what I heard, and I found myself struggling to catch my breath. "W-What?" Amidst the chaos in my mind, those were the only words that came out of my mouth."I know you heard it clearly, Symphony," he hissed.I suddenly became alarmed as I fully realized the meaning behind his words."N-No... Melody will stay with me, Wesley! You have no right to make decisions for my daughter!" I started to get hysterical. The thought of my daughter living away from me was driving me to the brink of insanity. "It's not possible, Wesley! I am Melody's mother. I have more rights to my child! I am the one who gave birth to her and raised her! What gives you the right to make arbitrary decisions?!"I slapped his shoulder multiple times. I tried pushing him away from me. I needed to get out of here. I needed to go and get Melody from Wesley's mother. There's no way I would let them take away my daug

13: Story’s Other Side Pt.3WESLEY4 YEARS AGO..."For fuck's sake, Wesley! We're about to get married, right? Everything is ready, isn't it? But why is it like this? W-Why?"My whole system feels numb, not because of the hard slaps and punches she threw at me, but because of the thought that I had hurt her. That I am the fucking reason for her tears... and that I am breaking her. Charitee's continuous sobs, lingering in my ears, are the most painful sounds I have ever heard in my entire life."Charitee... b-babe..." I tried reaching for her hands, but she took a step backward. It was as if I was some kind of disgusting thing she wanted to avoid. It's fucking painful! "Babe, I'm sorry. That was just a mistake. It wasn't my intention. Cheating with another woman is the last thing I would do to you--""But you did it! You got her pregnant, didn't you? Tell me, Wesley, why? Why did you do that? B-Because she's more beautiful? Because she's from a wealthy family? While I grew up in an orp
