That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 71: Quest For Truth
“Will you not say anything, Gael?” pukaw ng lolo ni Gael sa kanya nang manatili siyang tahimik pagkalipas ng ilang sandali dahil sa sinabi nitong balita. “Aren’t you happy that I’ve bought you the perfect weapon to exact your revenge against the Sandejas family?”He gritted his teeth, fury slowly overcoming him. Kung noon siguro 'yon ginawa ng lolo niya, noong hindi pa siya bumabalik sa Maynila, he might have consider it. But not right now. Not when he was not the same man who's only after revenge when he left Germany almost two months ago.He is far from elated right now. Truth be told, he is pissed! He wanted to yell and curse at his grandfather. Tell him how he fcked up everything that he planned for him and Charlize. Tell him how wrong he is in doing things he didn’t even ask for him to do. And how close he is from severing ties with him right now for wanting the downfall of the very woman he had learned to loved twice in his damned lifetime!Last night, for the first time in five

Ang malakas na pagtunog ng cellphone ni Charlie ang nagpagising sa kanya bandang alas-dos ng hapon. She opened her eyes and looked at her son who was still sleeping beside her. She gave a faint smile and gently caressed Levi's cherub cheeks. Her son stirred a little, subalit muli ring bumalik sa pagtulog. Patamad niyang inabot ang kanyang cellphone sa bedside drawer. She huffed when Maria's name registered on her phone's screen. "Yes, Maria--" "M-Ma'am, nasaan po kayo? M-may problema po kasi dito sa cruise line. A-ano po kasi..." Her brows furrowed. Hindi niya kasi masyadong maintindihan ang sinasabi ng sekretarya, there were too many noises on the background. Maingat na siyang tumayo mula sa kama at naglakad patungo sa bathroom. "Can you repeat that, Maria? I didn't hear you the first time," sabi niya. Subalit hindi sumagot si Maria. Ilang sandali pa, she heard a crushing sound on the phone, followed by Maria's scream. "Maria, what's happennig? Maria are you still there?" na

"Are you okay?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Gray kay Gael habang nakatutok ang mga mata niya sa mga dokumento na binabasa niya. He was staring at the reports about himself, Alaric and Lena. He had been doing that for almost half an hour now, reading the damn thing over and over na parang magbabago pa ang nakasulat doon kapag ginawa niya 'yon. Reading a report about himself for the first time felt weird. But reading a new report about him made him feel livid. Why wouldn't he, when those reports about himself for five years were extremely incomplete compared to the one he's reading now. Lahat ng mga tanong niya noon tungkol sa sarili niya na hindi nasagot ng naunang report na binigay sa kanya, nakapaloob lahat sa bagong report na kabibigay lang ni Gray sa kanya. All those random flashes of memories he had been seeing for a while now, the sudden jolts of muscle reflex and energy he felt whenever he faced things related to his former hobby or job, and the intense pain he felt whenever Ch

Gael opened his eyes only to close it again when he was met by a bright glaring light coming from the ceiling of room he was in. He feels light and heavy at the same time which doesn't really make any sense! Where was he anyway? What happened to him? Few moments more and he heard rushing footsteps toward him. "S-Sir, are you okay?" said the familiar voice. When he pried his eyes open again, he saw the familiar face of his assistant Hugo. "Let me call the doctor," sabi pa nito bago nagmamadaling lumabas ng silid. And just like that, the events of the day replayed in his mind like a movie that never ends. Ang muli nilang pagkikita nina Sir Joseph at Sir Aaron, ang resulta ng pinagawa niyang imbesigasyon kay Gray, and pagsugod niya sa SSL Cruise upang daluhan si Charlie at... Agad siyang napabalikwas ng bangon sa hospital bed nang maalala ang huling eksenang naaalala niya bago siya nawalan ng malay kanina. Charlie was unconscious and bleeding! Awtomatikong tinambol ng kaba ang kan

"Mommy, are you going home tonight?" tanong ni Levi kay Charlie habang marahang hinahaplos ng anak ang kanyang pisngi. She forced a smile and kissed the back of her son's other hand. "I'm not sure, sweetheart." Levi's lower lip quivered. "But I want to sleep beside you tonight, Mommy," anang anak lalong lumabi. Guilt instantly filled her chest. Kababalik lang ng anak sa bansa at ngayon lang sila nagkita matapos ang ilang buwan subalit ni hindi agad sila makakapag-bonding na mag-ina dahil na-ospital naman siya. Kung sana ay hindi siya nagpadalus-dalus kanina, wala siguro siya sa sitwasyon ngayon. But what's done is done. And she must face the consequences of her hasty decisions. She reached for Levi's face, ang gently carressed the cherub cheeks of her son. Habang tumatagal lalong nagiging kamukha ni Gael ang anak nila. Funny how she hates Gael and loves their son, who looks just like him, so much.Well, they are two different persons, pagdadahilan ni Charlie sa kanyang isip. G

Kumurap si Charlie. Hindi niya alam kung epekto pa rin ng nangyari kanina sa kanya or sa iba pa mang dahilan, but she's sure that for a while her logic had failed her and she was tossed instantly into the sea confusion with Gael's words. What did he mean he know now? Did he mean... "Naaalala ko na ang lahat, Charlie. N-Nakakaalala na 'ko," he continued in a pained voice before taking another step forward. Agad siyang nag-panic. "N-no!" she protested. "D-don't dare to take another step,, Gael." She cannot afford to be near him. Not when her heart was racing... overwhelmed by his presence yet again. Indulging Gael this time would mean failing her family again one more damn time. At pagod na pagod na siyang saktan ang pamilya niya dahil lang sa pagmamahal niya kay Gael. She knew now, Gael's hunger for revenge is raging and it burns anyone who comes near him. That's why she is where she's at now--burned and breaking. But she cannot blame anyone. She was a willing victim. She too

Gael was driving like a madman. Patungo siya sa Gold Hotel upang kumprontahin si Lena. Today had been eventful. From learning about Alaric and Lena's lies, to regaining his memories, and now learning that he and Charlie had a son! A son who looks exactly like him, that is! Maisip pa lang niya ang mag-ina niya naninikip na ang kanyang dibdib. Bakit hindi? Ni hindi man lang niya malapitan ang mga ito. Ni makita siya, mukhang ayaw na rin ni Charlie. At hindi niya ito masisisi. He really fcked up! Big time! Maski siya galit sa sarili niya. How did he allow himself to drown in hatred for the only woman he had ever loved? Why did he allow Alaric to talk him in to it? He sure knew he didn't know what he was doing for he was blinded by revenge but... What's done is done. But he won't stop trying to get his family back. Kahit iyon lang ang gawin niya habambuhay gagawin niya. He will do anything and everything just to have Charlie and Levi in his arms where they're supposed to be.

Alaric grinned as he stared at the picture of the rally he staged at SSL Cruises. He just ordered a commotion but he got a full blown rally instead-- injuring the Sandejas girl in the process.He puffed the smoke from his cigar into the morning air with great satisfaction-- mentally noting that he should give Remus and Alphonse, his men currently in Manila, the raise they deserved for exceeding his expectations. He sent them there to be his hands in working on the plan to force Gael to leave to the Sandejas girl.It has to be his men this time because he cannot trust his weakling of a daughter anymore. Lena cannot keep a man by her side. How can she make it to the end of his plans against the Bernsteins?He pushed his cigar on the ashtray-- annoyed by events of the past few weeks.Truth be told, he's a little disappointed of himself for not acting earlier. He should've forced his pathetic weakling of a daughter Lena to stand her ground the minute Gael raised his unexpected plan to sta

Dahil na rin sa pagod sakakaiisip at kakaiyak, tuluyang nakatuog si Charlie. Nang magising siya, madaling-araw na. She can’t believe she slept that long and missed dinner!Dinner. Shes' not supposed to miss any meals!She secretly groaned, realizing what she did.That has sent her to the edge of panic and relief all at the same time. Sandali siyang nakiramdam. Gael wasn’t cuddling her like he used to. She turned to her side carefully and she saw her husband sleeping on his side too facing away from her. Napalabi siya. Mukhang nagtampo na talaga sa kanya ang asawa.Hindi bale, today is officially their anniversary. She can tell him her secret now.Mabilis niya itong niyugyog. “Gael, wake up,” she whispered.He groaned, shifted slowly and lied on his back. Singkit ang mga matang tumingin ito sa kanya. “W-What? What is it?”Umusog siya kaunti palayo rito. “You have to get up. I’ll tell you something.”He huffed and clicked his tongue. Subalit bumangon din. Sandali itong bumaling sa orasa

“Again? Pero puno pa ang fridge niyan, love. Nakita ko kagabi nang bumaba ako sa kitchen,” reklamo ni Gael kay Charlie nang muli siyang maglagay ng dragon fruit sa cart. They were out grocery shopping in a local grocery store in Cancun. They have been staying there for a week now in celebration of their second wedding anniversary. It was a trip she didn’t really want to take at first because she easily gets tired lately. But when Gael told her that she will call the shots every time, she was in in no time.She rolled her eyes and faced him. “Can’t you get it? I’m not buying them for me to eat. I’m buying it because they looked cute,” pagrarason niya, muling naglagay ng dalawang piraso pa ng nasabing prutas sa cart.Gael huffed. “Should I buy you a dragon fruit farm?”“Of course not!” sabi niya, muling naglakad sa aisle ng prutas na kinaroroonan nila.“What about a grocery store then? You want me to purchase this grocery store for you?”Namawaywang na siya at hinarap ang asawa. “You

“Are you ready?” tanong ng Mommy ni Charlie sa kanya.She filled her lungs with air and gave her mother a slow nod. “Yes,” she replied smiling.Gumanti ng ngiti ang Mommy niya, nangingilid ang luha. Masuyo pa nitong inabot anag kanyang pisngi. “I wish you all the happiness in the world, sweetheart.”“Thanks, Mom,” sabi niya bago niyakap ang ina.They stayed like that for a while bago sila nakarinig ng katok sa pinto. “Hey, the music’s starting and all the guests are waiting. Don’t tell me may balak ka pang itakbo ‘yang anak mo, Sam,” said her father’s familiar voice outside the door.Natatawa nilang binitiwan ng Mommy niya ang isa’t-isa. Sandaling nitong pinunasan ng panyo ang gilid ng mga mata nito bago siya muling nginitian. “Let’s go. Your Dad cannot wait to give you away… officially,” pabirong sabi ng Mommy niya bago inabot sa kanya ang kanyang bouquet.When her mother opened the door to her room, she was met by her father’s loving gaze. “Finally,” anito, nakangiti. He gave her

“Ate, sa ‘yo na po ito,” anang sampung taong gulang na batang babae sa kanya. The girl was handing her a big white gumamela flower she probably picked near the gate of the orphanage. Napangiti siya, bahagyang yumuko bago tinanggap ang bulaklak na inaabot ng bata. “Talaga, akin na lang ‘to… ano nga ulit ang pangalan mo?” “Chamy po, ate.” “Salamat, Chamy.” The child gave her a soft smile in return. Akma na sana itong tatakbo pabalik sa mga kalaro nito sa ‘di kalayuan nang pigilan niya ito. “Ano nga palang gusto mong maging paglaki mo, Chamy?” The child beamed at her.“Gusto ko pong maging nurse, Ate!” Sandaling nangunot ang noo niya. “Bakit naman nurse, Chamy?” “Gusto ko po kasing alagaan si Lolo Gael d’yan sa kabilang building.” Lalong nagsalubong ang mga kilay niya. “Lolo Gael?” Mabillis na tumango si Chamy. “Gael lang po kasi ang alam niyang banggitin. Kaya Lolo Gael.” Tumuwid siya ng tayo, hinayon ng tingin ang building ng carehome sa mga matatanda na naroon din sa compoun

It was a manic day for Charlie. No. It was chaos spelled in all caps.She’s running late from her appointment “Hey, slow down, beautiful. You’ll hurt yourself,” nakangiting sabi ni Gael sa kanya, sumandal pa sa hamba ng pinto ng walk-in closet niya.“Go away, Gael. You know I cannot be late today,” sabi niya habang naglalagay ng sunscreen sa mukha. Gael chuckled. “Bakit, hindi ka naman late a. You still have at least an hour and a half to spare.”She scoffed and picked up her blush powder. She won’t wear her full make-up today. “An hour and a half spare that I’ll spend for travel. You know how’s Manila traffic in the morning, Gael. It’s one of the worse and I can’t afford to be late today. Nakakahiya sa orphanage at carehome! At lalong nakakahiya kay Ate Sophie.”It’s true, kasama niya sa pagpunta sa bahay-ampunan at carehome ang kapatid ni Jasmine ngayon. Siguro, kung hindi lang kapapanganak ni Jasmine, baka kasama rin niya ito ngayon.Visiting orphanages was a thing she had been d

Gael jumped out as soon as the car pulled over infront of the police station. Doon sila dumiretso nina Gray at Jacob mula sa simbahan. Aside from Lena, wala nang sino pa mang nasaktan sa masamang insidente na plinano ni Alaric. And it was more than a relief for him. Now he can focus on one thing, ang puntahan si Charlie sa mismong police station.Pahapyaw nang sinabi ni Jacob sa kanya kung ano ang nangyari, subalit hindi pa iyon buo. And not only does he need to talk to Charlie for the full details but he also needs to see his wife to calm the lingering worry in his chest. The picture of Lena dying in his arms was still vivid iin his memory. And he cannot stop thinking that, it could've Charlie dying in his arms and...He shook his head, willing the unwanted thoughst away. Charlie is fine, he convinced himself before picking up his pace. He was at the director’s office in no time. Agad naman siyang hinarap ng pinuno ng kapulisan. Sandali niya itong kinausap at sinabi nito mismo sa ka

Sandaling namanhid si Gael sa kanyang nasaksihan. Panandalian niyang kinumbinsi ang sarili na imahinasyon niya lang ang lahat. Na nasa maayos na lagay si Charlie at walang kaguluhan na nangyayari sa mismong araw ng kanilang kasal. He even tried to blink a few times—willing the dreadful scenario away from his head. But when he opened his eyes, his bride, his wife still laid there on the cold ground, bleeding.With his chest constricting, he tried to stand up, wanting to go to Charlie as soon as he can. But his bodyguard nearby kept him from doing so. Anger burned his skin in an instant. He had to go Charlie and no one, not even the damn death god himself could prevent him from doing so.He turned himself onto the ground, lying on his back, and gave the bodyguard hovering over at him a straight jab to the jaw. Napaupo ito, bago siya mahilo-hilong binitiwan. He took that chance to crawl his way to Charlie, who fell near the entrance of the church. ‘I like the water, Kuya Gael. Can you t
That First Night With Mr. CEO Chapter 92: Wedding 4
Hindi matapos-tapos ang pagsipat ni Charlie sa sarili niya sa lifesize mirror na nasa kanyang hotel suite. Hindi pa rin siya halos makapaniwala na naroon nga siya at ikakasal ulit kay Gael. This time in a church and in the presence of their family. Well, some of their family. But nevertheless their families are present and that’s the most important thing.She looked down at her ring finger. The emerald engagement ring and the ink she had five years ago are there, a testament of everything she had gone through loving Gael. But she’s glad she finally made it right there at that very moment, when she can declare to the whole world that Gael is hers as much as she is his. That in the world of broken promises and dreams, of heartaches and of tears, Gael is her always—the one she will keep on choosing to love as long as she breathes.Her phone rang, immediately stopping her train of thoughts. Agad na nagsalubong ang mga kilay niya nang mag-register sa screen ang pangalan ni Gael. She picked

Kanina pa nasa harap ng salamin si Gael subalit panay pa rin ang pag-aayos niya sa kurbata ng kanyang suit. The damn thing just won’t align! Frustrated, he took it off altogether and huffed. He’s anxious for some unknown reason. Gray, who arrived last night, said at it must be the wedding jitters but he refuses to believe so. He’s just on edge because he didn’t get to see his wife and son for hours now. Sneaking in at Charlie and Levi’s hotel room crossed his mind a few times last night. With his skills as a former elite boduyguard, he could do that with no sweat involved. But his grandfather gave him a talk about keeping his word and just wait until it’s time for them to meet at the altar again. Subalit naging sobrang napakahirap niyon sa kanya dahil sa iisang hotel lang silang naka-check –in na mag-anak—just different floors. Idagdag pa na talagang makulit si Tala at panay-panay ang pagbabantay sa mag-ina niya, h’wag lang niyang makita ang mga ito. Gray told him to have a little
