THE UNWILLING BRIDE (ENGLISH) CHAPTER 30
****************Clarisa woke up to the sound of laughter outside. Curious, she got up and peeked out the window.It was Reed and Glenda laughing together. Jealousy stirred inside her. Yesterday, Glenda was wearing short shorts, and today her shorts were even shorter than before. She was definitely trying to seduce her husband.Clarisa quickly got dressed, left the bedroom, and went to find her husband."Oh, you're awake, sweetie!" Reed greeted her, coming over to kiss her on the cheek. She noticed Glenda glaring at her. That confirmed it—Glenda had feelings for her husband."Glenda, please prepare breakfast for wife Clarisa," Reed instructed."Okay," Glenda said with a smile before walking away.That flirt! When Reed was around, she acted all sweet and innocent. Clarisa knew she had to be careful around that woman. She would talk to Reed about it later."Did you sleep well, sweetheart?" her husband asked."Would you like to take a walk on the beach?""Sure..." she answered briefly,

Clarisa’s parents were left at the hospital. She was still in the emergency room, under observation.When Reed and Don Miguel arrived at the resort, Nena greeted them as they pulled up. She was surprised to see Don Miguel with Reed."D-Don Miguel, I didn’t know you were here," Nena greeted, trembling. She was scared, fearing that Clarisa might have woken up and told Don Miguel what happened, which led to her losing consciousness."Where is your daughter, Nena?" Don Miguel asked directly.Nena was even more frightened by the mention of her daughter "Has Mam Clarisa woken up?""Not yet. That’s why I want to speak with Glenda to find out what happened."Nena felt a wave of relief when she realized Don Miguel wasn’t yet informed. They needed to come up with an excuse for him."Is that so? Wait a moment, I’ll call Glenda back here. I told her to go home for now..." Nena moved away from Don Miguel and Reed to call her daughter."Hello Glenda, Don Miguel and Sir Reed are here and they want t

Clarisa remained in a coma. It had been three days since she had woken up. They had moved her to a large hospital in Manila, where her OB clinic was also located, so they could monitor both her condition and her pregnancy. Cyena, Patrick, and Loren, who were friends of hers and nurses at the hospital, were working there.The three of them cried as they visited Clarisa's room. "Come on, wake up... our godchild needs you," Patrick said."Don’t worry, we’ll keep watch and take care of you. Just get better... we miss you," Cyena said, holding Clarisa’s hand, while Loren sobbed on the other side of the bed.Clarisa’s friends took turns visiting her every day. After their shifts, they would stop by her room and spend time taking care of her.Reed’s parents also visited the hospital, deeply concerned about Clarisa’s condition and the baby she was carrying.****************Two weeks passed, and Clarisa still hadn't woken up."Sweetie, wake up... it’s been so long since you’ve been asleep," R

"Ahmm, I’ll step outside for a moment," Reed said to them, holding back his tears. He didn't want Clarisa to see him crying. As soon as he left the room, his tears began to fall uncontrollably. He could no longer hold them back. Why, out of all the people in her life, was he the only one who disappeared from his wife's memory?“Clarisa, you’re here in the hospital because you had an accident. You hit your head and were in a coma for almost three weeks," the doctor explained, waiting for Reed to leave completely before speaking.“Huh... is that true, doctor? But I'm okay now, right?” Clarisa asked, shocked.“You have amnesia. You sustained a severe head injury. Actually, I expected this to happen, which is why we need to conduct a series of tests on you.”“How can I have amnesia, doctor? I remember my mom, dad, Grandpa Miguel, and my friends.”The people in the room exchanged looks before responding to her.“But you don't remember your husband, dear,” Grandpa Miguel answered gently.“W

REED:It had been two days since Clarisa woke up, but Reed still hadn't visited her in the hospital. According to his grandfather, Clarisa couldn't accept that she had a husband and was pregnant. She didn't remember him and was very angry.He didn’t know what to do. Should he go to his wife and try to comfort her, or should he stay away for now to avoid stressing her out? His mind was a mess. He felt sorry for the baby in her womb because Clarisa didn’t want the child she was carrying. He wished her memory would return soon so she could remember him as her husband. He knew that Clarisa loved him. She had told him so before the accident and before she got amnesia."Son..." his grandfather called out to him, noticing that he was deep in thought again."I'm just thinking about Clarisa, Grandpa. I don't know what to do. Her friends said she had a breakdown because she didn’t want the baby she’s carrying... I’m worried about our child. I’m afraid of what Clarisa might do.""Her friends are

"Jorge, could you please remove the ropes from my bed? My hands are starting to hurt.""Okay, love," Jorge said with a smile as he untied the ropes. While Jorge was removing them, Diana had a thought. Since she couldn’t do much, she might as well comply with his desires for now.She decided to go along with what he wanted. She would win his affection again and, in turn, make him follow her lead.After Jorge removed the ropes, he returned to lying beside her.Diana rubbed her hands, which were red and marked from the tight ropes."Thank you," she said to Jorge, and then she hugged him, resting her head on his chest while lying beside him. The man seemed surprised by her action. At first, he didn’t move, but after a while, she felt his hand gently stroking her hair."That's right, Jorge. Be kind to me," Diana thought to herself."Um, love, I’m hungry. Can we get something to eat?""What would you like? I’ll prepare it for you.""Can we both prepare our food? I’m getting bored in this ro
THE UNWILLING BRIDE (ENGLISH) CHAPTER 36
"What did you say?" Reed couldn’t believe what he had just heard from Diana. It wasn’t entirely impossible for her to be pregnant by him. She had been his constant partner before he met Clarisa, though he had always used protection. Still, something might have gone wrong.He pulled at his hair in frustration. Problems seemed to be piling up. "How did this happen, Diana? We haven’t been together for a long time. And now you’re calling to say you’re pregnant?""Well... I hid my pregnancy from you. But I’ve realized that I shouldn’t deny our child a father," Diana replied.Reed took a moment to think. If he was indeed the father, he wouldn’t reject the child. The baby was innocent. However, he needed to be sure. He would get a DNA test after the baby was born, just in case Diana was lying."What do you want me to do, Diana?" he asked, his mind still blank and unsure of what to do."I want you to take responsibility for us, your child and me.""You know that’s not possible. I’m married to

When he arrived at the hospital, he found Clarisa’s friends—Patrick, Cyena, and Loren—standing outside her room. They looked at him as if they wanted to clarify something. "How is Clarisa?" he asked, breaking the silence, as none of them seemed willing to speak. "She's inside, it looks like she’s asleep... Reed, is it true that you’re also the father of Diana’s unborn child?" Patrick asked, giving him a piercing look while waiting for his answer. Reed felt like he was on the hot seat. "I-I don’t know. She disappeared for a long time and didn’t show up. The last time we saw each other was at my wedding with Clarisa..." "If she is really pregnant and I’m the father, I will take responsibility for the child, but I need to be sure. I’ll have the baby undergo a DNA test." Clarisa’s friends exchanged glances. He wanted to tell them to believe him and not Diana, but he had no evidence. Even he was confused by everything that was happening. He excused himself and entered his wife’s room

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

REED: Clarisa had fallen asleep beside him. He didn’t go home; she fell asleep in her hotel room. He was very happy. He looked at his wife. She was peacefully sleeping in his arms. He gently brushed the hair that was covering her face. He couldn’t count how many rounds they had last night. They both felt it—they missed each other so much, even though no conversation had taken place between them. When she wakes up later, he’ll talk to her about going back to the mansion. He’ll woo her to reconcile with him. He was sure that she still loved him. He felt that in the kisses she gave him last night, and it made him smile. He remembered yesterday, while he and Blue, along with Maria, were waiting for Clarisa at the mall. He had received some pictures from her phone showing her with a man lying on a bed. His jaw clenched at what he saw. Jealousy resurfaced, just like when he saw that video two years ago. He wanted to cause a scene in the mall yesterday, but he held back because of Bl

"Stay silent! You have no right to say that to my wife!" Reed shouted at Albert, punching him again. The hotel security quickly stepped in to prevent them from clashing further."Sir, please stop. We'll take care of him. We'll bring him to the precinct," the hotel security assured Reed.She lay on the bed, unable to move because her clothes were torn. She just stared at Reed, unable to believe what she had heard from him. In the past, he never believed her, but now, he was defending her.Albert was taken to the precinct, leaving only Reed and Clarisa in the room."Are you okay, sweetheart?" Reed asked as he embraced her. He wrapped a blanket around her to cover her body. She couldn’t stop crying, and the fear of possibly being raped again started sinking into her mind.Neither of them spoke. Reed simply held her as she cried, waiting for her to calm down.When she had calmed down a bit, she stood up, looked for her bag and phone, and went to her own room. Reed followed her silently. S

CLARISA: She woke up with a throbbing headache. She was lying in bed and had fallen asleep. Glancing around, she realized it wasn’t her room, but she was still in the hotel where the convention was being held. The setup of this room was identical to hers. She tried to recall what happened before she lost consciousness. Her memory was hazy, but she distinctly remembered Albert giving her wine, and then everything went black. She bolted upright. Where was she? She looked for her cellphone. She knew she had put it in her pocket before passing out. "Good, you're awake," Albert said, stepping out of the bathroom, freshly showered. "What did you do to me? Why am I here?" she asked, her voice filled with confusion and fear. "Did you think I would just forget what you did to me? I won’t let anyone else have you, not even your ex-husband! I’ve been waiting for you for so long, only to find out you have a family here in the Philippines?" "What are you talking about, Albert? I neve
