Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 62: Away
I cooked and prepared our dinner for tonight. Zachary messaged me that he’d be home by nine in the evening. Pagkauwi ko galing office kanina ay nagpahinga muna ako bago magluto ng hapunan. I was happy. I enjoyed cooking for us. For him. I hope he'll love the food. Iniwan ko ang nakahandang hapunan sa hapag at tinakluban iyon para hindi mapanis at masira agad. I went to my room and continued the preparation I’ve been doing since I decided to continue my investigation. But before I fully continue this, I wanted to find Klaus first. Wala pa rin akong balita galing kay Klaus and I still couldn’t find the right opportunity to ask Gil about him. I really want to find Klaus, but I don’t know where to start. I tried going back to the hotel where he was staying before but I found out that he already moved out. I don’t know where else to find him. If I ask Gil about Klaus, he might find out what we’ve been doing behind his back. Ayaw kong mag-isip ng kung ano ano, pero hindi ko mapigilan ang

I’m not sure what time Zachary left, but by the time I woke up. He was already gone. I felt him kiss the top of my head, though. And I felt him leaving the room but I was too tired and too sore to even get up or wake up. We had a rough night. We made love until we’re both exhausted.I sat down and stared at the door. After a while, I decided to get up already because I still need to work. I took a bath and did my morning routine. Then I went downstairs and ate the breakfast Zachary made for me before he left. I was smiling the whole time I was eating.Maaga akong nakarating sa office ko. I immediately started all the paper works left on my table. I also read a lot of proposals for a new project the company is planning. Not a single one fit my plans so I rejected all of it.“Jade, Lolo told me to invite your for dinner later sa bahay niya...” Gil appeared by the door of my office. Nakahilig siya roon habang nakatingin sa akin nang seryoso.“Hindi pa rin siya umuuwi ng States?” I asked

Pagkababa namin sa parking lot ay hila hila niya akong pinapasok sa kotse niya. “What do you mean by us, Gil?” I asked him as he put his seatbelt on. His jaw was clenched hard and he didn’t answer me so I called him again. “Gil, please. I can’t let anyone know more about this. They might kill Klaus. I don’t want people dying on me anymore.” “And I can’t have you dying on us, Jade!” he exclaimed. “We’re gonna figure this out, together.” I sighed and covered my face with my hands. I was still trembling but I was lucky enough that I wasn’t having a panic attack right now. I couldn’t have myself losing my sanity right now. I need to save Klaus. We arrived at the place. It wasn’t a restaurant, though. It was my grandfather’s private property. Agad akong lumabas ng sasakyan ni Gil pagka-park niya nito. He was behind me when I was about to call for him. “What are we doing here?” I asked him. Malalim ang kaniyang buntong hininga at mariing tumingin sa akin. “I told you, we’re going t

I love my parents dearly. That’s why I don’t understand why I didn’t cry when I heard the news about the accident that caused their death. Kahit noong burol ay wala ni isang luha ang pumatak mula sa mga mata ko.Maybe it’s because I am trained by my own parents to always be strong-hearted. And I am. But I never expect myself to not cry when my beloved parents died.My parents are famous because of their name and their business in jewelry line. Marami silang ka-kompetensya. Kaya malabo na mangyayari sa kanila ang ganoon ng basta aksidente lang. That’s why I refuse to believe that no one is behind the accident. I know… my parents were killed. And I am going to find whoever is or are responsible for their death.Pinagmasdan ko ang listahan ng board of directors ng SLZR-JLC.Zachariah Ricaforte is the biggest shareholder of SLZR-JLC. Kilalang kilala ko siya. He is my parents’ closest friend. But we never rea

Today is the day.Inaayusan ako ng mga makeup artist na galing pang France but they are all Filipinos. My relatives, particularly my aunts, insisted that I should have the best makeup artists because my wedding is special.The wedding of the Salazar business prodigy is special. I laugh at the thought.As if I and Zachary genuinely want to marry each other! Kaya ko lang naman siya pakakasalan ay dahil iyon ang gusto ng mga magulang ko at mga magulang niya! I also plan to use him against his fool of a father. The one I know who killed my parents!At hindi niya rin naman ako gustong pakasalan! Kaya nga umabot ng isang taon bago natuloy ‘tong kasal na ‘to!Well… the truth is, he doesn’t want to marry me immediately that’s why we both insisted to date for a while. Sinakyan ko lang ang trip niya. At hindi ko naman inaakala na aabot iyon ng isang taon dahil lagi niyang sinasabi kapag binabanggit ko sa kaniya ang kasal na mas

Tahimik kong pinagmasdan si Dr. Ricaforte na ilagay ang mga maleta namin sa SUV niya. He’s about to take my large body bag but I move it away from his reach. Tumitig siya sa akin at marahang tumango. Pagkatapos ay pinagbuksan niya na ako ng pinto ng passenger seat.Sumakay ako at pumuwesto sa kabilang dulo sa may tabi ng bintana. Sumakay na rin siya at tumabi sa akin. The driver in front maneuvered the car and starts driving.Tahimik kaming dalawa buong byahe. Nakatulog na rin naman ako kaya hindi naman naging awkward. Mas mabuti na ‘yon kaysa naman buong byahe papuntang airport akong gising tapos siya ay tahimik lang na nagbabasa ng case studies niya.Hello? Isn’t he excited? This is Maldives we are talking about!I am on a vacation so I’m going to spend the most out of it. Kung ayaw niyang mag-enjoy ay bahala siya. Basta ako… I’ll make myself happy for the rest of the trip.But then again… I remember th

I never should have done that! Kung alam ko lang na ganito ang mangyayari ay hindi ko na sana siya inasar pa. Sana ay sinabi ko na lang agad na pinsan ko ang tumawag sa akin 3 days ago! Now, he doesn’t take his eyes off of me for 3 days! Kung saan ako magpunta ay naroon din siya. Well except, of course, in the bathroom! But still… hindi niya inaalis ang tingin niya sa akin. I’m getting so conscious already. Was he really jealous? Talaga bang nagugustuhan niya na ‘ko? Because that would be a good thing, right? Mas mapapadali noon ang mission kong gamitin siya laban sa ama niya! But still… this is frustrating me! Huminga ako nang malalim at ngumiti nang bahagya para itago ang inis ko. Humarap ako sa kaniya at mas ngumiti pa. “Are you seriously going to watch my every move, babe?” Even though I’m smiling, the irritation didn’t escape my tone. Tumitig siya sa akin bago bumuntong hininga at umiiwas ng tingin. Lumayo siya sa akin at bumalik sa sofa

Our honeymoon trip ends and we’re back home. Naiinis pa rin ako sa nangyari last time kaya hanggang ngayon ay hindi ko pinapansin si Dr. Ricaforte. Though, I always notice how attentive he has become when I’m around.Pansin ko ang madalas niyang pag-sulyap sa akin kapag magkakasalubong kami sa bahay; kapag nasa dining room siya at kukuha ako ng tubig, at kapag nasa living area ako at pupunta siya ng kitchen. Ganoon ang naging setup naming dalawa for the past few days after we came back from our honeymoon.But I know na hindi dapat ganito. Alam kong inis ako but I should prioritize my mission.Bumuntong hininga ako nang hindi na talaga mapakali. Kaya naman nang matapos ang lahat ng meetings ko for the morning schedule, mabilis akong umalis at nag-drive papunta sa FUMC.I smile at everyone as I walk inside the hospital. May dala pa akong healthy sandwiches for my husband’s fellow residents and seniors. I talk to some of them as I give them

“You can’t hear me?” Zachary said something again but I couldn’t understand it. Hindi ko iyon marinig. His lips were moving and I knew that he was speaking. Pero hindi ko iyon marinig. My ears are acting up again. It has been a while since something like this happened. I thought I would be okay but I was wrong. I forgot that I wasn’t fully healed yet. And now, it’s starting again. “What are you saying?” I asked despite not being able to hear what I said. “I’m sorry, my ears. I can’t hear...” I could feel my lips trembling. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin. I didn’t bring my hearing aids. Zachary came to me. Lumuhod siya sa harap ko. His eyes were worried and bloodshot. He looked like he’s pitying me. I suddenly felt awful. “I’ll rest now. I wanna be alone while I rest. You can sleep in the guestroom,” I told him. “MJ...” I read the movement of his lips. He was close to me which was why I was able to understand what he said. “I can’t leave you alone. Why are you asking me to leave you?
Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 60: Lost
[ Zachary’s Point of View; A Flashback ] I was there when my sister died. I failed to notice her struggle and pain because I was too busy studying so I could gain our father’s approval. My little sister, Zoe, was my comfort. The very reason why I wanted to become a doctor. I wanted to cure her illness. But before I could even do that, she died. And it was because of my own negligence. “I’ve had enough of your defiance, Zachary. For once, I need you to do as I say. Marry the woman I want for you and I will let you continue your career. Defy me, and I will do everything in my power so you can never set foot in the medical field again!” That was my father’s bargain when I first told him that I would still continue my residency and my research. I didn’t want that. All of my life, I tried everything to make him proud. Even if it’s not from the field he wanted for me. I thought that if I became the best in my field, he would finally acknowledge all

“We can stay here for a few minutes more if you want…” Zachary said as he held my hand with his.Pinagmamasdan niya lang ako ngayon habang nakatingin pa rin ako sa puntod ng mga magulang ako. Ngumiti ako at bumaling sa kaniya. Then I shook my head a little.“I already told them what I wanted to say. We can go now. I want to rest,” sabi ko.Tumango siya at mas hinigpitan ang hawak sa kamay ko.I feel so lucky to have him beside me. When he hugged me, I felt safe and comfortable, I never want to let go.When my parents died, I never experienced such a comforting love again. But with Zachary, I knew it was more than that. It was more than the love I felt when my family was still complete. Kahit ramdam ko ang kulang dahil sa pagkawala ng mga magulang ko, Zachary was able to easily fill its gaps with his gentleness.The day was over before we even knew it. Zachary and I rested the whole night and slept peacefully. I

“Are you sure you’re okay now? We can visit them tomorrow instead,” Zachary said as he helped me get inside our car, his voice like a fire that calms my soul in the midst of a cold winter. It was enough to soothe my heart. More than enough. “I’m okay. Let’s just go.” I smiled to assure him that I’m really fine. Habang walang tigil ang pag-iyak at paghikbi ko kanina sa office ng Daddy ko, Zachary was just there embracing me. He was like a soft pair of large wings that protects me from pain. And I realized that I became more and more dependent of him. I really have no idea if it’s a good thing or bad one. For once, I wanted time to stop. I wanted to stay in that moment. To keep him close to me. Before closing the door on my side, Zachary leaned down to touch my cheek, caressing them. He was looking at me with so much affection in his eyes I couldn’t help but want to drown in them. Pinagmasdan niya lang ako at hinayaan ko siya. I held his gaze as

We arrived at the airport. Kinuha ni Zachary ang mga gamit namin bago kami lumabas. There was an SUV waiting for us outside and we immediately hopped in.Tahimik kaming dalawa sa byahe. It was probably because of what we discussed back in the plane. We talked about my parents and his family. I told him that there was something I still wasn’t telling him. He respects everything. Ang galit ko sa kaniyang ama. Ang gulo sa isip ko tungkol sa mga hindi ko sinasabi sa kaniya. He respects my pace. He respects me.I don’t really know if I should allow myself to be this dependent on him. He’s not asking anything in return. It was so natural to him. Ang pakisamahan ako. Ang intindihin ako. Our differences were mode defined this time. I felt like I’m taking him for granted. No… I really am taking him for granted.Simula pa noon lagi niya na akong iniintindi. He was so good at putting up with me and my shortcomings. I was so high-maintenance I

We were both panting after doing a lot of make love rounds. My body was already exhausted even before we stopped but I just couldn’t get enough of him. I was lying on top of him, still panting. I also could feel his heavy breathing. Nakayakap siya sa akin habang marahang nilalaro ang dulo ng buhok ko. “Thank you…” he whispered. “For coming back to me.” I looked at him and kissed him again on his lips. I licked his lips and urged him to open up for my tongue. I kissed every corner of his mouth and he did the same. “We should shower and eat breakfast.” I chuckled after our kissing. Tumango siya at bumangon sa pagkakahiga, dala dala ako. Then he lifted me up and carried me all the way to my bathroom. Pagkatapos naming maligo ay dumiretso na kami sa baba para magluto at kumain ng breakfast. Zachary was busy cooking some fried rice with spam and egg. Nagluto rin siya na hiwalay naman ang spam at egg sa fried rice. After cooking, he placed t
