THE UNWILLING BRIDE (ENGLISH) CHAPTER 12
"Zenie!!!!"Zenie froze when she heard that voice—it was Don Miguel."Why are you picking a fight with Clarisa? What has she ever done to you?""N-nothing, Don Miguel..." Zenie stammered, her head bowed, unable to meet Don Miguel's piercing gaze."Granpa... please, let it go. It's okay," Clarisa tried to defuse the situation."No!!! I won't tolerate you speaking to Clarisa like that. She's pregnant and doesn't need hurtful words making her feel worse. Don't blame Clarisa for what's happening in your life, Zenie. You made those choices yourself. I’ve always treated you and Clarisa equally, but you’re the one who ruined that balance."Zenie stood there, head down, as Don Miguel reprimanded her."It would be best if you left the mansion for a while, Zenie. I don't want to see you mistreating Clarisa out of jealousy."Zenie looked up in shock at Don Miguel. "Don Miguel, it won't happen again, please don't make me leave," she pleaded with the old man."My decision is final. I don't want Cl

The next day, Doña Elisa accompanied Clarisa to the OB-GYN.Reed saw how well Clarisa’s friends were taking care of her. He had been waiting at the hospital for Clarisa and her mom to arrive. He put on his hood, face mask, and black shades before getting out of the car. He entered the hospital, hoping Clarisa wouldn’t recognize him. He just sat there in the waiting area."Hi, bestie!.. Hi, tita!" greeted Patrick and Cyena. "We'll go with you to Dr. Lucy's clinic."Doña Elisa led the way. Clarisa was in the middle, with her friends on either side. She was holding hands with Cyena, while Patrick had his arm around her.“Hi, Dr. Lucy! This is our friend, Clarisa. She has an appointment with you today,” Patrick said. “Yes, I know. Don Miguel already called me,” replied Dr. Lucy. “Please come in, Doña Elisa and Ms. Clarisa.”The doctor checked Clarisa’s abdomen. “You’re one month pregnant, Ms. Clarisa,” Dr. Lucy said happily. “I’ll give you vitamins for both the baby and for yourself.

**********Reed was in his office, signing contracts for the business he was starting with his friends Jon, Daryl, and Archie. The four of them were engineers, so they planned to establish a construction company. He was going through the contracts when someone suddenly entered his office without even knocking.“Diana, what brings you here?” he asked, seeing the anger in her eyes.“What’s this I hear about you getting married next week, Reed? Is it true?”“Yes.” He stopped signing and faced her.“But why, Reed? I thought I was your girl?”“You're not my girl, Diana. You were the one always approaching me, and you know that.”Diana felt humiliated. “Who is she?”“You don’t need to know.”“Prepare yourself, Reed. I won’t lose to that woman. You belong to me!”“I was never yours!” Reed’s voice rose.“But I love you, Reed!” Diana pleaded, now in tears.“Sorry, Diana, but I don’t love you.”Diana glared at him. “Remember this, Reed—you’ll regret doing this to me. You know what I’m capable o

Reed had arrived at the mansion and went straight to his room. He planned to rest for a while as he waited for the time of his wedding to Clarisa. He felt an odd urge to pee. In just an hour, the wedding would start, and the guests had already started arriving.His groomsmen... Jon, Daryl, and Archie, had also arrived. He was nervous and couldn't stay still in his room. He didn't know what to do. He kept pacing back and forth, unable to stay in one place. He didn't know how Clarisa would react at their wedding later.The last time they saw each other, she was furious and didn't want to get married. She might cry at the wedding later, how embarrassing! What if the guests think he forced Clarisa to marry him? Arrrg! He left his room and went to his grandfather's room."Oh... my boy, you're here! Are you ready for your big day?""Y-yes, Grandpa. Is Clarisa ready? Do you think she's still angry with me, Grandpa?""Don't worry, my boy. She'll be fine. Your wedding will go smoothly. Even if

That kiss was full of love... it felt like she was flying to another dimension. Reed held her by the waist, and she clung to his neck, borrowing strength so she wouldn't fall. She felt like a candle melting in her husband's arms.The kiss lasted for 10 seconds. If the guests hadn't made any noise, Reed might not have stopped. He looked at her, touched her lips, and smiled... My God!!! She felt like she was melting again!!! She felt like her face was bright red.“Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Villaruel!” The guests applauded. She and Reed were holding hands, which made her feel uneasy.“A-hm, can you let go of my hand?” she asked. Reed looked at her and smiled, but he didn't let go of her hand. Instead, he squeezed it gently, as if he couldn't help himself. “No!” he said with a grin.They sat down in their respective seats. The reception would also take place there. The singer couple continued to sing love songs.God gave me you to show me what's real... And there's more to life t

He pushed the young woman. “What are you doing here, Diana?”“What!? Am I not invited? We are family friends, right?”“Don’t do anything stupid, or you will regret it!!!” Reed said“Oh, I’m scared! Hahaha,” Diana said, shifting her gaze to Clarisa. “Enjoy Reed while it lasts, darling.” She shot Clarisa a sharp look before leaving.Their group fell silent for a few minutes. “Um, excuse me, I’m just going to the powder room,” Clarisa said. Reed didn’t let go of her hand, but she pulled away."I’ll go with you, Clarisa. That witch might be waiting for you out there,” Patrick said, standing up to join her. In reality, Clarisa didn’t need to pee. She just couldn’t handle the heaviness in her chest and needed to breathe.“Just relax, Clarisa. That witch won’t hurt you as long as we’re here. Besides, Reed wouldn’t let anything bad happen to you.”“But Pat, she was with Reed before I was. I’m the one who ruined their relationship,” she said, tears welling up. Her chest hurt. It was now that sh

“What? Who’s this mistress?”“Uh, Diana, who else?” she snapped, her anger flaring up again as she remembered what happened earlier.Reed continued to soap her breasts, caressing them gently. She couldn’t help but moan, her anger quickly forgotten. Really, self? You give in so easily? Can’t you hold out a bit longer? she scolded herself.“She could never be my mistress. I’ll always be loyal to you, my wife,” Reed said.“Just don’t kiss me for one week! Until the germs from that witch’s lips are gone, I don’t want my baby and me catching anything!”“But sweetheart, that’s a punishment! Can you really go without tasting my sweet kisses for a whole week?”“That’s your punishment, so you’ll learn not to kiss other women!” Reed just sighed. “Okay, if that’s what you want. If I didn’t love you so much, I—”Clarisa turned to look at Reed. “Y-you love me?”Reed cupped her face. “I’ve loved you for a long time, ever since I saw you walk into my bar... I was about to approach you then, but tha

"After they finished shopping, they went home and went straight to Clarisa's room. They put down the items they bought and rested on the bed.“Let’s take a shower together,” Reed suggested. She didn’t protest; she wanted to as well. They undressed and headed to the bathroom.“Ahm, sweetheart, can I sleep here again tonight?” he asked, sounding like a pleading little boy.“What is your promise this time?”“No promises. You know what I want, right? Doc said it's safe,” he said, grinning as he massaged her breasts.Clarisa hesitated. “B-but I'm scared. You know I don’t have any experience, right? And the last time we did something, I was under the influence of drugs. I wasn’t myself.”“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you. I’ll be gentle, sweetheart. I’ll teach you, hahaha.” He was about to kiss her, but Clarisa pulled away. “No kissing for one week!”“Ahrrrg. How can I do that?”“That’s your penalty! You thought I’d forgotten your mistake?”“Okay, okay, even though it wasn’t really my fau

When they went out, her parents and Grandpa Miguel were already waiting at the dining table. Tita Grace and Blue were also there, busy watching Cocomelon on his tablet. They walked hand in hand, and the elderly people smiled as they approached. At first, she didn’t know why they were smiling. Then, she remembered that she and Reed were holding hands, and she was about to pull her hand away. But Reed didn’t let go. She had no choice but to just go along with it. "You’re here, my grandchildren... come, the food is waiting," Grandpa Miguel said. They both just nodded. She was still a bit shy. Reed helped her sit down, and then he sat next to her. "So, what’s your plan for your relationship, children?" Tatay Kardo asked. "Ahm, I’m going back to America, Tay... I’ll just finish my vacation here," she replied. "Why are you going back to America, my dear? Your husband can take care of you. And your hacienda is big enough... Isn’t that enough for you?" her mother asked. "Lolo... I have

After they ate, they walked around the hacienda. They walked hand in hand while their child ran around the wide lot of their house.A little while later, their maid, Nene, approached them. "Ma'am Clarisa, someone is looking for you... They said it's Anton.""Anton is here?" she said in disbelief."Who's Anton?" Reed asked, raising an eyebrow."Ah, he's a friend of mine... He was the one who helped me when Fernando kidnapped me. Just wait, I'll go see Anton..." she excitedly replied. It had been a long time since they last saw each other. Her mother was the one who told her that Anton visited their hacienda whenever he wasn’t busy. She didn’t have social media, so he couldn’t contact her."Anton!" she shouted as she saw him talking to her father. He smiled as he waited for her to reach him."I’ll leave you two for now. I still have a lot to do..." Her father said as he said goodbye."How are you, Ma'am Clarisa? Long time no see!" Anton greeted her happily."Didn't I tell you not to cal

It was already evening when they finished eating. They spent a long time at the dining table because of their endless stories. They missed each other. Her parents and Don Miguel were talking about the mango plantation, while she was busy taking care of her child, feeding him. After they ate, she took Reed to the room where he would be staying. Blue, on the other hand, would sleep in her room. "Sweetheart, why can't I sleep in your room? Aren’t we okay now?" he asked, pouting. "It's embarrassing to Mom and Dad if we sleep in the same room... We just got back together!" she explained. "That's actually better. They might even prefer it. Besides, we’re married. It’s normal for a married couple to sleep beside each other... And what about my promise to you that I’d take care of you later?" "Shhhh! Be quiet! Someone might hear you! You're so shameless," she scolded her husband. "Why? What's wrong?" he asked, feigning innocence. "Just shut up!" she said, clearly losing patience in tr

They walked together into the mansion. Blue was in between the hands of his parents, while Reed and Clarisa walked hand-in-hand, following them. She didn’t really want to hold hands with him. She was shy because their staff at the hacienda were staring at them. She tried to pull her hand away, but Reed didn’t let go."Why? Are you ashamed of me? I’m handsome, aren’t I?" he joked."It’s embarrassing, they’re staring at us.""Let them look. I want you by my side always..." he whispered in her ear and then put his arm around her. She felt a thrill from what he did; it was like they were back to courting each other."By the way, Reed, Clarisa, Don Miguel is here too," her father said."Grandpa Miguel? What’s he doing here?" Reed asked in confusion. Both of them were surprised that Don Miguel was there. Before her parents could respond, they saw the old man approaching."Well, here you are, my grandchildren?" he happily greeted them."Grandpa!!!" she shouted and ran to him. She hugged him

Here we go again... the topic from two years ago is being brought up again. She didn’t want to talk about it anymore. She didn’t want to revisit it because it still hurt, but she had no choice but to listen because she was driving. She couldn’t pretend to sleep. She couldn’t silence Reed with what he was saying either... She had no choice but to listen to his explanation."God knows how much I regret not believing you. I looked for you back then, but I couldn’t find you.""Is what happened with Diana also just an accident?" she asked, almost sarcastically. She didn’t believe it was an accident."I don’t know, sweetheart, how she ended up in our room. She gave me a drug to drink... before I knew it, she was holding my manhood, but please believe me, sweetheart, I didn’t want that. You’re the one I love..."She glared at him again to hide the pain in her chest. She felt her eyes starting to water, threatening to cry. She could barely see the road. She stopped the car on the side. Thankf

The next morning, they were awakened by the noise of their child, who had gotten up before them."Yehey! We're in the same bed! Mom, Dad, and me!" the child exclaimed happily. Reed was right last night—if their child found out they weren’t sleeping together, he would be upset. It was a good thing she listened to her husband."Good morning, baby," she greeted her child. Reed also woke up from the noise."Good morning, Mommy," the child said, planting a kiss on her lips."Good morning, Daddy," he added, kissing his father on the lips too."You both kiss Mom and Dad," the child commanded, giggling."L-later, sweetheart. Mommy's breath smells bad," she tried to reason."It's okay, even if Mommy smells bad, I'll still kiss her," Reed teased before kissing her on the lips. "Good morning, sweetheart," he said softly, making her blush again."Yehey!" Blue cheered with excitement."Mommy, didn’t you say we’re going to visit Grandpa and Grandma today?""Yes, sweetheart. We’re leaving today. You

She went to the closet to grab something to wear. She didn't bother opening her luggage since it would only be a hassle to reorganize it tomorrow when she and Blue left.Once she was dressed, she was about to leave the room to check on her child."Where are you going?""To Blue's room. I'll sleep there.""No need. I'll bring him here so the three of us can sleep together.""Are you kidding me? Why would I do that?" she snapped at him."Suit yourself. But if your son wakes up and we're not sleeping together as a family, he'll get upset again," he said nonchalantly. She suddenly fell silent."You stay here; I'll get Blue," Reed said, standing up and walking out the door. She was left sitting on the sofa.When he returned, he was carrying their sleeping child. She quickly stood up to greet him and take Blue from him. She flinched when their skin accidentally brushed against each other.Get a grip, Clarisa! Acting like a virgin just because of a little touch? she scolded herself.Once she

"Your dad's room is bigger, sweetheart... can he just stay there? We might not all fit in your bed," she tried to convince the child again. She still couldn’t fully grasp the idea of sharing a bed with him."Then let’s just stay in your room with Dad, Mom. I’ll move to his room as long as we’re all together," Blue replied."That’s right, baby. Let’s stay in our room with your mom so you can roll around. Our bed is big enough, right? Back then, your mom used to roll around on it too," Reed chimed in from behind them, carrying his luggage. They hadn’t noticed he had followed them. He meant something else entirely, but she chose to ignore it.She shot him a sharp look for joking around with their child. Had he and Blue already conspired on this before she even arrived at the mansion?"Mom, let’s go to Dad’s room!" Blue exclaimed enthusiastically, tugging her out of the room and leading her to Reed’s bedroom.At first, she hesitated to enter, but Blue gave her a little push, urging her in

They sat in silence in the car as he drove. She didn’t say a word either.“H-how have you been? I’ve been looking for you for so long… you and Nanay Celia and Tatay Kardo. I even went to the mango orchard, but you weren’t there anymore.”“We hid in a place where no one knew us, where no one could mock me because of the video that spread back then,” Clarisa replied, her face blank. There was no trace of her true emotions.“A-about the video… I just want you to know that I believe you now. I’m sorry for not trusting you right away back then, sweetheart,” he said to his wife.He saw her tears begin to fall. The brave front Clarisa had put up crumbled, and she started crying. He quickly pulled the car to the side of the road to comfort her.“Don’t cry, sweetheart. It breaks my heart to see you like this. Please forgive me for what I’ve done to you. I still love you…” he whispered to her. Her sobs grew louder until she buried her face in his shoulder.He kissed her to try and stop her tear
