THE UNWILLING BRIDE (ENGLISH) CHAPTER 57
"How dare you, Clarisa!!!" Reed shouted, pointing at her.She fell to the floor, holding her cheek from the pain of the slap. Her cheek felt numb."What did I do?" she asked her husband through her tears. She was still holding her cheek, confused. This was not the welcome she had expected."Are you not satisfied with me? Are you willing to ruin our family because of one man???""What are you talking about?" she said, still crying on the floor."You even lied to Grandpa that you were going to visit me in Batangas, but instead, you went to meet that man??? " Reed’s voice thundered through the house."What? I don’t understand what you’re saying!!!""Look! It’s all over social media... you’re such a shameless woman!!!"He threw his cellphone at her. Trembling, she took it and looked at it.It felt like she was doused with cold water upon seeing what was on the screen... The video showed her and Fernando eating on the bed, looking very sweet. This was the time when she was trying to get al

She heard someone shouting but ignored it. She knew they were calling her. She was the only one walking around at that time. “Ma’am!!!” the man shouted again. She turned towards the direction of the shout. It was the driver who had taken her from Laguna to the mansion. She stopped walking when she saw him approaching her. “What happened to you? Why are you walking out here at this hour? Didn’t I drop you off at your house?” Her tears started to flow again, as if her heart was about to burst. “I was kicked out of my house... Huhuhu!” “Why, Ma’am?” the driver asked, concerned. She looked at the man to see if she could trust him... He seemed kind. “The reason I was in Laguna earlier is because I was kidnapped by a man... He wanted to rape me and use me. I was just trying to get along with him so he wouldn’t kill or hurt me, which is how I managed to escape, but I didn’t know he was recording us with my phone...” “I escaped because I stabbed his dick with a fork, so this is proba

“Tomorrow, I’ll go back to the mansion and tell my husband about this!” she said with hope… She just hoped Reed would believe her. She turned back to Anton and smiled. “I believe you’ll be a great lawyer someday! You give such good advice!” “I hope so, Ma’am… Helping others is really in my nature, so I won’t charge you for my attorney’s fees right now, haha…” She smiled at Anton’s joke. “Where are you heading now?” she asked the young man. “To school…” He leaned on the motorcycle. It seemed their conversation had taken longer than expected. It was nice talking to him. She briefly forgot her problems. “Aren’t you going to rest?” “I just take short naps at the convenience stores I pass by… I don’t have time to rest properly.” She felt sympathy for the hardworking young man… Her heart ached a bit. She took off her pair of earrings and bracelet and handed them to Anton. “Keep these… sell them and use the money for your studies. They’re diamonds, so they’re worth about 70
THE UNWILLING BRIDE (ENGLISH) CHAPTER 60
At eight in the morning, Clarisa came down from her room. She hadn’t slept at all. It felt like she was just waiting for the morning to return to the mansion. She took a shower… Fortunately, she still had some of her things in her room. When she came downstairs, her mother wasn’t around. She went straight to the kitchen to make some coffee. Her head was pounding from lack of sleep and stress. There was hot water ready in the kettle… her parents had probably just finished their coffee. While she was preparing her coffee, she heard her mother talking to someone outside the house. Her mother’s voice was unusually loud, which puzzled her. Her mother usually spoke calmly, so she was curious about who she was talking to. She hurried outside. “It’s not true!!!” She found her mother shouting at their neighbors, who were holding cell phones. It seemed they had seen the video Fernando spread last night. Her father stood quietly beside her mother, but there was visible anger in his eyes. It w

When she reached the waiting shed, a taxi arrived just in time. She hailed it, and it stopped in front of her. She first peeked inside the taxi to see if she recognized the driver—what if it was Fernando again? It seemed like her phobia was getting worse... she was starting to doubt everyone."Miss! Are you going to get in or just stand there staring?" the irritated driver called out to her.After making sure it wasn’t Fernando, she got into the passenger seat."Where to, miss?""To the Villaruel mansion, please..."The driver glanced at her through the rearview mirror... it seemed like he was trying to recognize her when she mentioned she was heading to the mansion.She already knew what was going through his mind. He had probably seen the video too... She could only sigh in frustration."Sir, are we leaving or are you just going to sit there staring?" she asked coldly."Ah, sorry miss... It's just that you look like the woman from that video I saw. I just can’t believe it’s really y
THE UNWILLING BRIDE (ENGLISH) CHAPTER 62
Reed was lying on their bed… his shorts down, while a woman was performing a lewd act on him. They both froze, startled by the sudden opening of the door. The woman looked up, her eyes locking with Clarisa’s.It was Diana—the woman she had always been jealous of, the same woman who had gotten pregnant by Reed. They were in the middle of something, right there in the bed she shared with her husband. It seemed like they had just started, as they weren't completely undressed yet.Both Reed and Diana quickly scrambled off the bed. Clarisa remained standing in the doorway, unable to move. She couldn’t tell if it was she who should feel ashamed for barging in without knocking or if it was them for being caught in such a vile act."W-what are you doing here?!" Reed shouted, hurriedly pulling up his shorts.She didn’t respond, her eyes fixated on Diana, who was straightening her clothes, wearing a smug, taunting smile."Oh, so the dirty woman came back? Why are you even here? Haven’t you had
THE UNWILLING BRIDE (ENGLISH) CHAPTER 63
"Why did you come back, Diana?" Reed asked angrily. Only the two of them were left. Clarisa was gone."I saw the video of Clarisa, and I wanted to comfort you. I hadn’t shown up for a long time because I was planning to step aside for you two... I had decided to raise our child alone and not disturb you, but what did Clarisa do to you? She just deceived you... she messed with your head!"His jaw tightened at her words."Tomorrow, I’ll bring our child here... we’ll live here so you won’t be alone, and someone can take care of Blue. Poor Blue, without a mother... Don’t worry, Reed, I’ll take care of Blue as if he were my own."She grabbed his shoulder, but he shrugged her off. "You can’t live here..." he replied simply."But why? Your child has rights here... he’s your flesh and blood!... He’s also a Villaruel!" Diana insisted."Give me a DNA result for him... Prove that he’s really my son.""Of course he’s yours! What do you think, that I’m like Clarisa?"It wasn’t that he was a bad fa
THE UNWILLING BRIDE (ENGLISH) CHAPTER 64
REED:Reed was still in bed... Clarisa had left hours ago, but he hadn’t come out of his room yet. He lay there, staring at the ceiling... his head ached. It felt like it was being crushed, and he couldn't understand why. He rubbed his head in an attempt to relieve the pain.What had Diana given him that caused such a headache? He knew she had drugged him because he couldn’t move when she was doing things to him... he had just submitted.He wanted to thank Clarisa for coming when she did, preventing Diana’s bad intentions from happening. But this was the price he paid... Clarisa was furious, thinking he had a relationship with Diana.What was he going to do now? How could he correct Clarisa’s mistaken belief that he was with Diana?Suddenly, he sat up. He would go after Clarisa, chase after his wife... He would explain to her that there was no one else, and he was willing to take her back into his life. They would move far away to keep Clarisa away from the prying eyes of gossips and

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
THE UNWILLING BRIDE (ENGLISH) CHAPTER 95
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
