THE UNWILLING BRIDE (ENGLISH) CHAPTER 79
She returned to the elevator. She was joined by a few hospital employees, who greeted each other with polite nods. Once she was inside, she pressed the 8th-floor button. The employees exchanged glances; they knew she was going to the Director’s office, the only office on that floor. She just shrugged, unsure why they were making a big deal about it. Well, it wasn’t like she was going there without a reason—she had been summoned. That’s different. Everyone else got off on their respective floors, leaving her as the only passenger. What could he possibly want to say to her? She couldn’t think of any reason for being called in. When she reached the Director’s office, she knocked on the door before entering. "Come in!" she heard his voice call from inside. She opened the door, and he beamed at her as soon as he saw her. She returned his smile. Albert’s family owned the hospital. Even though he was the Director, they were friends. They didn’t show their closeness to others, as she did

She took the elevator down to the 4th floor where the nurses' station was. She still couldn't shake off what Albert had said about bringing her to the Philippines."Sis, where have you been?" Rose called out to her. She had just returned from rounding on their patients."I was in Sir Albert's office; he called for me...""Really!!! What did he say? Did he confess his love for you? Eiiiihhh!!!" Rose said excitedly, sitting beside her. She was organizing patient charts."He’s been saying that for a long time; I just ignore it..." She continued checking the charts, not really wanting to share the details with her friend. Rose would just pester her again."Why? You're such a buzzkill! Just say yes!""You know it’s not possible, right? You're the one who’s being pushy!" she replied to her friend."Grrrrrr!.... You're so annoying! So why did he call you?" Rose asked again, standing with her arms crossed over her chest, clearly not planning to let it go."There's a convention in Manila. He w

After their duty, Clarisa and Rose went home together to the apartment. They lived in the same house to save money. They had been renting it for a long time; it was originally Clarisa and Rose's house, but when Rose returned, she took in a roommate so she wouldn’t be alone and could save money.Now that Clarisa was back in America and living with Rose’s mother, Tita Grace, they were three living in the apartment. Rose was planning to get a house because she wanted to settle down with her mother. As for Clarisa, she was still thinking it over; deep in her heart, she knew she would eventually return to the Philippines... she just didn’t know when."Wow, Mom! It smells so good, what are you cooking?" Rose exclaimed as they opened the door. The delicious aroma of adobo filled the air."You've both arrived! Come on, let’s eat," Tita Grace said. She treated Clarisa like a daughter, just as Clarisa's parents treated Rose like their own child. They placed their bags on the sofa and approached

REED:He is just in his room, hardly leaving the house. His mustache and beard have grown long; he is starting to look like a hermit. He has lost the will to live if not for his son, Blue.It has been two years, but he still hasn’t heard any news about his wife, Clarisa. Even his friend Jon has been unable to find her.His grandfather, Lolo Miguel, is also getting weaker. He no longer has the desire to manage the mango orchard because he has no one he can trust there. He only trusts Nanay Celia and Tatay Kardo, but they too have disappeared along with his wife.Blue is growing up fast; he is almost three years old. As he grows, he is starting to resemble Reed—unlike Kiel, with whom he cannot see any resemblance.Diana still lives in her condo. She comes over every day, trying to annoy him and insisting that they get married. No matter what happens, he will never agree to that. He only has one wife, and that is Clarisa.He hopes that one day Clarisa will show up again. He is holding th

At the Airport Sir Albert and Tita Grace were already at the airport. Tita Grace had joined him for a vacation at the hacienda. Albert didn’t seem too thrilled about Tita Grace accompanying them on the trip, but she was grateful for it, as it meant he wouldn’t pester her. Her parents would pick Tita Grace up at the airport. She wouldn’t be joining them for their convention, which was good because it allowed her to spend time with her parents. After the convention, she would go home to the hacienda. Her parents had already bought a vehicle. They had purchased a new Fortuner to ensure she would be comfortable during their vacation there. They had also bought trucks and machinery for their rice and coconut plantation at the hacienda. Her parents were really good at managing money; in just a short time, they had accumulated a lot for the hacienda. While at the airport, she sat next to Tita Grace. Albert was supposed to sit beside her, but Tita Grace had asked to switch seats with Alb

“How are you, my child?” her mother asked as they walked around the mall.“I’m fine, Nay…”“D-did you hear anything about Reed and your child, Blue?” her mother inquired.“I haven’t heard anything, Nay. But I plan to call Maria; I’ll ask her to meet us with my child.”“Won’t Reed get angry?” her mother asked anxiously.“I won’t take Blue away, Nay. I just want to see my child so he can know me as his mother.”“It’s up to you, my child, but be careful…”“Yes, Nay…”After they finished shopping, they ate at a restaurant before her parents returned to Quezon with Tita Grace. She would only go back there after her convention ended.She and Albert returned to the hotel. While they were in the elevator, he teased her again.“Why don’t you marry me, Clarisa, so you can bring your parents to America? Your life will be better there!”She wanted to tell him that she wasn’t interested in his wealth and that her parents weren’t dazzled by luxury. Even when she was married to Reed, he never asked

She had just finished getting dressed when someone knocked on her door. It must be Albert. They startled each other when she opened the door."You look stunning, honey...""Hmph, flatterer... Let's go before we're late.""Let's go..." he replied, holding her arm. She wanted to shake him off, but she was afraid he might get mad and say she was being difficult. Lately, he had been getting touchy with her. She didn't want anyone touching her, especially not a man. She still had a phobia of men, probably because of Fernando, who almost raped her.When they arrived, there were already a lot of people in the convention hall where their convention would be held. Albert stuck closer to her, holding her at the waist. He was acting like a boyfriend. She was annoyed, but there were media people around, and she didn't want to embarrass Albert."Good morning, Dr. Smith! Can we interview you?" a reporter asked Albert."Sure! Sure!" he replied, smiling. She didn’t want to join in, but he tightened h

“Dad, where's Mom?” Blue greeted him, waiting for him at the gate of their house with Maria.“Sorry, son, Mom is still at work, so she can't come home yet. But I promise you I will bring her here, okay? Don't be sad…”“Promise?” he asked sadly.“Y-yes, son…” Even he was unsure of his answer. He didn't know if he could keep the promise to his child. But he didn’t want to see his son sad. Blue had been waiting a long time for his mommy. He hoped that Clarisa would at least think of them too.“Let’s go inside…” he said, taking the child's hand. They walked into the house in silence. Blue still looked sad. He felt helpless to cheer him up; only his mommy could make him happy that day.As soon as they entered the house, the phone rang.“Maria, please answer it,” he instructed Maria, suspecting it was another prank caller who never spoke whenever he answered.Maria quickly walked over to the phone to answer it.“Hello?”“Maria, this is Clarisa.”“Ma’am!!!” Maria exclaimed in surprise.“Don’

Hand in hand, they walked along the beach. The strong wind blew her white dress, and she felt like a goddess, with Reed as her prince. A smile formed on her face as she thought about it."Sweetheart... do you remember when you confessed to me that you loved me too? It was under that tree, right?" Reed said, pointing to the coconut tree.She blushed... she remembered that day. They had shared happiness beneath that tree. After what happened between them, she finally told Reed that she loved him too. She still remembered how happy her husband was in those days."Uh... what happened again? I can't remember," she lied."Is that so?" Reed replied, not believing her. "Do you want us to reenact it so you can remember?" he said with a playful smile."Alright... remind me," she said. Her husband took her hand, and they went to the tree he pointed to. She panicked... what if he meant what he said about repeating what they did there? Luckily, they were the only ones at the resort because Lolo Mi

"Glenda!!!" They were startled when Reed suddenly appeared out of nowhere. His gaze was fixed on the two women, and their faces turned pale."What is this nonsense?" Reed shouted at them. He didn’t stop his wife from speaking; in fact, he was glad to hear Glenda’s plan of trying to separate them directly from her own mouth. He had been too kind, and now he was always being taken advantage of. It was up to Reed to make the decision for both of them."Ah, Kuya Reed... nothing, we were just joking around, me and Ate Clarisa..." Glenda said calmly, her act returning."That’s not what I heard! Why did you say you were supposed to be my wife if Clarisa hadn’t come? Because I’ve been treating you and your mother well, you thought you could marry me?" Reed’s voice was full of anger."Kuya... huhuhu... I'm sorry... I did that because I love you... I’ve loved you since I was a child," Glenda explained. She grabbed Reed’s hand, but he shook her off."Sir Reed, please forgive Glenda... she’s st

CLARISA:Clarisa remained silent. She didn’t tell Reed that her memory had returned... maybe it was due to the blow Fernando gave her to the head."Sir Reed!" An older woman called out as she approached them. Clarisa recognized her... it was Aling Nena, Reed’s caretaker at the resort."So you're here too, Mam Clarisa. Long time no see!" she smiled at her, but the smile was obviously fake."Hello, Aling Nena. I’m sorry if I don’t remember you well... Reed told me I’ve been here before?" Clarisa replied."Yes, Mam, but...""Kuya Reed!" A woman's voice called out, and it was Glenda, Aling Nena’s daughter. Clarisa remembered that she had a crush on Reed, which was why she had pushed her on the rocks that caused her amnesia.As usual, Glenda was wearing a crop top and skimpy shorts. She was about to hug Reed, but he avoided her."Glenda... so you're here too..." Reed said, sounding uninterested. He probably felt that she was flirting with him."I found out from Mom that you were coming, so

Clarisa has been transferred to a private room, and Nanay Celia and Tatay Kardo arrived from Quezon Province. Lolo Miguel and Blue were also at the hospital. Blue cried upon seeing his mommy lying in a hospital bed. Clarisa was still unconscious."Anak... be strong... you've gone through so many problems, I hope this is the last one, huhuhu..." Nanay Celia said while crying. She was devastated for her daughter."Be strong, Celia... nothing bad will happen to our daughter... just trust in God," Tatay Kardo said, sitting beside his wife’s bed, holding her hand tightly. Even if it's just through his hold, he wanted to show his wife that he would never leave her."Daddy, is mommy gonna be okay?" Blue asked, climbing up onto the bed and lying next to Clarisa, hugging her tightly.He felt tears well up. "Yes, anak, mommy’s gonna be okay.""Blue?"They were surprised when Clarisa suddenly spoke… she was awake!He stood up quickly from his seat and went to his wife. "Sweetheart, you’re awake?

REED:He arrived at the hospital to pick up his wife. He went to the nurse's station, but Clarisa wasn’t there yet. Her friends, Patrick, Cyena, and Loren, were already there."Hi guys, where’s Clarisa?" He asked her friends."She hasn’t arrived yet. She left a while ago!""Where did she go?""She went to room 206. The patient requested for her because they know each other. She’s been gone for a while, but she said she would hurry because you were coming." Cyena said."Who is that man?" He asked, puzzled."His name is Bernard, but Clarisa said she doesn’t know anyone named Bernard. She just went to see him to get it over with."He didn’t know why, but he suddenly felt uneasy. He quickly ran towards room 206."Reed, where are you going?" Clarisa's friends shouted, but he ignored them, rushing to reach room 206. Clarisa's friends also ran after him.He didn’t knock; he immediately opened the door and saw Clarisa lying unconscious on the floor. A man was on top of her. The man was also s

CLARISA:They had been staying in the mansion for a month. Blue and Lolo Miguel had also gone home. She could say she was happy with her life. She had a loving child and husband, and her friends had helped her get a job at the hospital where they worked. Even though Reed said she didn't need to work anymore, she refused... her body longed for the work.Reed would take her to and from the hospital. She wanted to avoid bothering him, but he wouldn't allow it. He said he was happy when he served her. She didn’t make a fuss and decided to give him what he wanted."Sweetheart, I’ll pick you up later, but I’ll be a little late, okay? I need to stop by the bar first," Reed said when he dropped her off at the hospital."OK, sweetheart, no problem. Actually, I can go home by myself... I’m fine with it.""NO! I want to pick you up. You always end up in trouble... those crazy guys keep bothering you!""Hahaha... yeah, you're right! Fine, just pick me up later!"She got out of the car when they r

The sun's rays woke him up. He had forgotten to close the curtains last night because he missed his wife so much. He looked at Clarisa beside him. She was still sleeping soundly, curled up in his arm... both of them still naked.He smiled... he couldn't count how many times they made love last night. He made the most of the opportunity. It felt like a celebration for them because Diana was no longer in their lives, and they had no more problems. Their family would be happy again.He carefully got up, being cautious not to wake his wife. He would let her sleep a little longer... he had worn her out.He went to the bathroom to wash his face and get dressed. He would make breakfast for his wife. He smiled... he used to do that before... he would always bring breakfast to his wife in bed before she woke up. Now that they were back together, he would return to doing the same things for her.When he returned to the bedroom, he brought breakfast for his wife. It was ham and eggs with garlic

He embraced Clarisa once again… they were still unclothed. His manhood was pressing against her lower abdomen. He kissed his wife and guided her to lie down on the bed.They kissed again like there was no tomorrow, his tongue entering Clarisa's mouth as if searching for something, and then their tongues began to duel… “ahhmm…”He shifted his lips to Clarisa’s neck… gently biting her there while his hand freely caressed her firm breasts. “Ahhh… ahhhh…” moaned his wife as he continued nibbling on her neck. He sucked on it like a vampire.“Shit, baby… I missed you so much!” he uttered with intense passion.He spread Clarisa’s thighs and positioned himself between them, then brought his lips to her breasts. He sucked on her right breast like a child thirsting for milk, while his fingers played with the nipple of the left one.Clarisa arched her back in pleasure, overwhelmed by the sensation, almost losing her mind. “Ahhhh... ahhhh…”Moments later, his hand slid between her thighs again, a

Reed breathed a sigh of relief when Diana and Jorge finally left. He never thought this moment would come. Kiel was not really his son—Jorge was the true father. Diana had only made him take responsibility for the child to avoid the shame of being a single mother. Though he wanted to be angry at Diana, he was just grateful that everything was over. He was finally free to be with Clarisa again, and she would no longer be jealous of Diana.He quickly went to the bedroom where Clarisa was. She had no idea what had just happened because she hadn’t left the room since they arrived. He knew she was upset with him because of Diana’s rudeness.When he reached the door, he knocked. “Sweetheart… can you open the door, please?” There was no response. He knocked again, but still, no sound came from inside. He decided to use the key—perhaps Clarisa had fallen asleep.When he opened the door, she wasn’t on the bed. He heard the sound of running water from the bathroom and smiled. Just in time, he t
