The Billionaire's Queen Chapter 57
"We're here," he announced, drawing my attention. I blinked multiple times and was greeted by a huge mall. "You didn't say you wanted an old-school date," I joked. Waldo chuckled. "It's been ages since I last went to this kind of place. My life revolves around hacienda."I shrugged my shoulders in response. I waited for him to turn around to open the door for me. I smiled at him in thanks. He took my hand and didn't let go until we walked inside. Not as I expected there were not many people inside the establishment. Even those who eat in the select dining room inside are also few. And unlike other famous malls I've been to, the people we meet are simple. "What are we going to do here now?" I asked while looking around the place. I am not a fan of malls or shopping. Those are just expenses. If Mama hadn't forced me to go shopping with her friend's children, I wouldn't have come out of my cave. "How about a movie?" he suggested. I winced but eventually shook my head. "Let's just

"I guess I made a mistake again, Katiya," I said hopelessly. "Where and how, Prescilla?" he asked in a tone that didn't seem interested. I watched as she adjusted her lifting of Ezra who was fast asleep in her arms. We are here at Galan's house, in the pool area. I visited Katiya when Waldo left at dawn earlier this day. I don't know what happened after Waldo and I came home yesterday. I forced myself to sleep in the car and woke up in his room with the news of his leave. I didn't even ask anymore or was curious. I just let things flow like a calm river. Whatever I may learn in the following days, I will only remember when that day comes. The truth is that my anxiety has not been removed after our conversation and what I learned. Running through my mind over and over againI was actually organizing the clothes Waldo let me borrow from Lilian. All of that is already neatly laid out in Waldo's room and I will just deliver it to him later. I was just waiting for the right time. Becau

"What do you mean by that, Lilian?" I asked weakly. "She was showing signs of depression. She was always anxious. There would be a time when I would see her crying for no particular reason. Too much happened in such a short time. His life changed quickly.” Lilian slowly turned her head in my direction. But he couldn't meet my eyes because he didn't look up and just kept his eyes straight. "But her husband was so busy with his plans for both of them that he forgot to check on his girlfriend. HE forgot to ask if she was fine or if something was bothering her. He was too complacent that everything was okay because my friend wasn't complaining. But behind his silence is the noise that fills his mind."I felt pity for the person at the center of Lilian's stories. I feel the choice of words he used is the burden that his best friend went through. I feel like his story brought me to that point and showed me how that person felt. It was as if I entered a movie house where the life of that g

My feet had a mind of their own to step back to distance myself from Lilian and to calm myself even though that was impossible right now. The only thing on my mind is to leave and leave this place which is a reminder of the reason behind when Waldo brought me here. My slow retreat gradually accelerated until I ended up running. Lilian, who was incapable of following me immediately, shouted to stop me but to no avail. I continued to run, away from this place that I thought would bring me peace. But behind that, it's just full of pretending. I thought I would find a home here, but instead of peace, my life seems to have become even more tangled. I don't know where my feet have taken me. I don't know anything about this place except the things Waldo brought me. I just kept running aimlessly, trying to find a place for myself in a world I didn't know I belonged in. My feet just stopped when my cell phone, the only thing I had with me, rang. Katiya's name greeted me. "Where are you?" h

My eyes were filled with tears again. Tears fell without warning, continuously and uninterruptedly showing him the impact of everything I learned today. I shook her head softly, denying the words that came out of her mouth. "It wasn't love, Waldo. It's manipulation."I felt betrayed and no doubt that I felt hurt. It felt like there were big needles piercing my heart. It hurts so much that I don't know how to end it. Tears continued to flow down both my cheeks while in my mind, three words that Waldo said kept repeating. If I heard his confession later, I wouldn't believe a word. Maybe before what I found out there was a possibility that I would also confess to him. But it's gone. Finished. The chance is too late. "If this kind of love is all you're going to give, maybe don't. If the love you are talking about is for someone else and you are just showing it to me, maybe I deserve more." I couldn't wipe the tears from my eyes because each flow was so fast. “I know I am a sinner. I'm

The touch of cold wind on my cheek woke me up. My eyes squinted when the sun shone directly on my face. It's not that hot yet so I'm sure it's not that popular yet. I looked around and realized I was still in the car. The seat I was sitting at was already reclined while the window on my side was open. I turned around to see if Katya was there, thinking that the woman was no longer there, but her sleeping form appeared to me. Her mouth was slightly open showing signs of her deep sleep. His two arms are crossed over his chest. I moved stealthily in order not to wake her up. Even when opening the door, I did my best not to make any noise. Only then was I able to get to know the place where we are now? "What the hell?" It didn't take me five seconds before tears started streaming from my eyes. "It just might help you." I turned to Katiya who had now gotten out of the car and was looking at me intently. "Waldo is not the only one who needs to break free from the bonds that are wrapped

Harris gently faced me. Just like me, shock filled his eyes when he saw me. He did a quick scan all over me before his eyes locked on mine, staring at them in a scrutinizing way. I looked for the familiar loss of my heart close to him. But none of the feelings I used to feel when I was with him are gone. And I felt thankful realizing that now. That finally, and thankfully, I'm over this man. "Prescilla," the smile that greets him is hesitant. "What are you doing here?" I asked casually. His eyes became dim so he couldn't meet mine anymore. "I was running some errands for my wedding with Melissa."An understanding smile formed on my lips when I realized why he was being awkward answering my question. "So, you're finally tying the knots, huh? Congratulations to you," I greeted with no pretense. It seems that he is still not convinced by my act so he has to stare at me as if he is searching the contents of my mind. I tried to give him my most genuine smile to make him feel that it w

"Would you be fine with me?" I grinned at Katiya. He's been so busy driving that even if I want him to do it, he won't let me do it. It's been two days since we've been on the road after leaving El Refugio. I also thought that Katiya would leave after the church and return to her family. But instead of leaving me, he went with me. We've been roaming around using the car, driving endlessly while looking for the right moment to settle down. We've been sleeping inside the car parked at a public parking lot. There is no problem with me. I'm enjoying it. The only thing that is mine is what Katiya left behind. I'm sure as hell that her child's looking for her, even Galan who's been chasing her for a long time. "It's OK."And because I wasn't convinced by what I heard, I simply took his cell phone from the dashboard. Katiya kept it shut down to cut any connection we had from El Refugio. But because I wanted to send him back there for Ezra, I opened it to make sure Galan had texts there.

Waldo's POVRegret. Hatred. Agony. Those were the key players that controlled my life for the past years. I embraced those feelings, reminiscing about the reason why I ended up lost. Echoes of cries and their wailings still visit me in my dreams, reminding me of the grief we all felt that night of her goodbye. Years may have passion but the guilt and regrets still reside in my heart. Would I be able to escape this hell of mine? I tried to get up. To turn my attention to others to forget. But everything has no effect. It's just a short-term solution and after the day I'll be back to the point of collapse and no fight. I thought I would be able to cover up entering a relationship but I only gave myself more trouble. I know that simply getting into a new relationship won't erase the traces he left behind. I'm only fooling myself, what I believe to be a lie will never be true. "I know you love me. And I love you too much. I was exhausted, Waldo, to the point that I was no longer able t

I could not distinguish if I was comfortable or if I was just simply happy being out in public with Waldo. I can't imagine or change now that the two of us are together after more than a year that our paths diverged. And I feel like he is too. I couldn't even feel the wilderness in his every natural action. He was holding my hand tightly, intertwined with his while his thumb was gently caressing the back of mine. He's been doing that for a while, ever since we got out of the car after arriving at the mall he brought me to. Me too, I can't find it in myself to complain about holding hands with him. I could even feel myself seeking the warmth of his hand. "What are we going to do here?" I asked in surprise. I quickly looked at my clothes that didn't match what Waldo brought me. I was wearing a white casual split v-neck chiffon blouse that I paired with red peg-leg pants. It's a good thing I'm wearing white sneakers and not the office sandals that will surely sink the first step I ta

I was awakened by a noise coming from around me. That sleep indicates that someone is cooking or something in the kitchen of the house. Even the cutlery I could hear making noise. But my head's still spinning, something I have never felt for over a year. Instead of getting up, I just covered myself with a blanket and buried myself deeper into my soft pillow. But I couldn't go back to sleep because of the knock on the bedroom door. I didn't answer. I just remained motionless while waiting for that person to approach. I can't get the nervousness but the surprise is that I wasn't kicked. I am satisfied that I am far from harm. But how he got in here I don't know. Despite being tucked under the blanket, the familiar smell of Waldo's perfume still stung my nose. His familiar aquatic scent that I missed. The scent that used to give me comfort knowing that he was beside me. "Wake up, honey. It's already lunchtime. You need to eat," he softly said. "How did you get in here?" I asked inst

I almost slapped my forehead when my mind spontaneously added that. Although that was true, it was refreshing that I was so quick to admit it to myself. I took his silence as an opportunity to leave that place. Unlike before when I longed for its crowded, hot, and chaotic place, now I was enveloped in irritation. I just want to get out and leave. Inhaling fresh air instead of the smell of cigarette smoke and the overwhelming smell of alcohol. With my busy feet, I hurry to find the exit from the dance floor. Even though it wasn't easy, it was as if I was taken out of my sight when I felt the touch of the cold air on my skin again. I hurriedly went to the bathroom to clean myself up. Even though I haven't been in this place for a long time, I just want to leave immediately and sleep where I'm staying. I was leaning against the sink when I got there. I didn't do anything but I felt tired. But the momentary comfort and relief were immediately interrupted when I heard the door open. Bu

"You're all set, madam," said the woman who was putting lipstick on my face earlier. I slowly opened my eyes. The first thing that greeted me was the golden necklace around my neck. That's just thin. It also has a small dove pendant which is a symbol of freedom. The necklace was a gift I bought for myself using my first salary as an assistant social media manager three months ago upon the promotion my boss gave me at that time. Next, I looked at the simple make-up that the woman put on me. That's simple and not grandiose. There was almost no color except for my slightly red cheeks. My hair was simply tied up in a ponytail. Even my white spaghetti strap bodycon dress has no design. I just don't understand why even I was invited to this event when my role in the company was small. G&E Apparel, which stands for Grace and Elegance, successfully made its way to the top. Through the help of different social media platforms, TikTok most specifically, the brand became known. So now, you've

Life became the simplest with me living all alone. At the same time, it became more fulfilling to follow what I wanted to do. And I felt peace. Finally... peace has come for me. I finally had my silence after years of being trapped by all the noise and chaos of my world. I made a noise when I dropped the plate on the breakable table in front of me. Add to that the surroundings were very quiet because I was the only person there. I sat on the seat next to the broken table at the same time as I went down there with the lid open for what I had to do today. I focused my eyes on the front of the laptop. I started reading the reviews on the social media page of the company I work for. I became a part of a social media marketing team of a small clothing brand. And since I was just newly hired, I was assigned mostly to checking reviews and comments on their social media accounts. I work home-based and that's an advantage for me. It was only a week since I started this job. Even if I won't
