The Man Who Breaks My Heart (English ) CHAPTER 29
CHAPTER 29The phone was still pressed against my ear as I walked into the bar. The bartender had insisted that the boss, Sullivaño, was causing a scene. Apparently, he'd been arguing with someone earlier. He didn't want to go home, just wanted to drink.His problem. Was he not satisfied or was he left wanting more from his little romp with his woman earlier? Out of all the people he could call, he chose my number.I wondered how he got my number, but I figured it was because I was his secretary, so he saved it in his contacts. Still, he could have called any other woman, not me, who was about to go to sleep. So annoying.Luckily, Mama understood that I had a friend to pick up at the bar. She wasn't initially keen on the idea, but she eventually gave in to my pleading."Where is he?" I asked the bouncer, who the bartender had pointed out as someone who could direct me to where the boss was drinking."Just go to the left side, ma'am, near the bar counter. That's where the guy was earli

CHAPTER 30"Oh, what's bothering you?" Donna asked me. She was at the house to visit the kids, but she'd be leaving soon. My children were getting ready for school later. I was going to take them before I went to work. I still had things to finish, but here I was, still not leaving because my plan to leave the house at six in the morning to go to the office didn't happen because of what happened last night, I got home late.I was still sleepy. I rubbed my temples. "It's because I still haven't found another job.""Why are you even changing jobs? I thought you were okay with your current job? Is your boss not treating you well, or your colleagues? Just tell me, and we'll have a protest in front of that building." I laughed at my friend's words. I have another friend who I miss to this day, our paths haven't crossed yet.Rowela."No, there's another reason.""What reason is that? Aha! Don't say, you're in love with your boss, are you? Then it's not possible because you're ashamed that

CHAPTER 31While I was busy with the computer, I heard the door open. I was about to stand up to greet the visitor, but I immediately went back to my seat when I realized who had entered.Ryker."Did you eat your lunch?" he asked, and I lifted my head to make sure he was talking to me. Maybe he was on the phone and asking his wife or girlfriend. When I saw that he was looking at me, I gave a forced smile and showed him the biscuit I had on the table."Just this for now, sir. I'm almost done with what I'm doing." I said, then returned my gaze to the computer."I-I bought you this. Tell me if you don't like it, then I'll buy another one." He said, and he placed something on the small table where I was working. I immediately guessed what he had given me because even just from the bag, I could tell where he bought it from. Why did he even need to offer that? What did he think, I couldn't afford to buy expensive food like that? Tsk.Well, right now, we couldn't afford it, we could only buy

Chapter 32"Yay! But I want dolphin toys, mama!""Dolphin then… anything else? Is that all?" I asked Freya, who had just stopped crying because I was leaving for Cebu tonight."Hmm, I want a teddy bear and a panda too!" she added. My children were in our room to help me pack, a while ago, they were crying the whole time. They only stopped when I said I'd bring them souvenirs."Noted." I said while wiping her face, which was still wet with tears. "How about my baby Maynard?" I asked my son, who was squatting on the mattress reading a book."I'm happy with books and airplane toys, mama. But if there aren't any, it's okay. I have a lot of toys and books already." he said. He wasn't sure about the airplane though, so I smiled. I know he wants it."Alright! Mama has listed everything my babies want in her brain.""Thank you mama, I love you!" Freya said and immediately came to me to give me a kiss on the cheek. This child is so sweet. Maynard too."Call us everyday mama, so we won't be sa

Chapter 33Ryker was on the phone, and I couldn't get his words from earlier out of my head.Did he really forget me, or was it just a....? I clenched my teeth, trying to hold back my emotions, especially since we were just leaving Manila. I don't want my dreams for my children to be ruined because Ryker didn't recognize me, or maybe with all the women he's been with, I'm just one of the ones he forgot. Damn him.I just rubbed my temples, thinking about my children. He doesn't deserve to meet them. No."Are you okay? Do you want to take a nap or do you want to eat first? We can call the flight attendant." I turned to my left where he was sitting. His eyes were darting between me and his laptop.I sighed, I don't know why. I feel suffocated when he's near."No thanks, Mr. Sullivaño. I'm not hungry and I slept earlier, so I'm not sleepy yet." I said, keeping my eyes on my phone.He didn't speak, and when I turned towards him, he was staring at me. I gasped and immediately looked away."

Chapter 34I was sitting at a table, waiting for my boss and his friend. According to what I heard earlier, they were going to build a building on a hacienda here in Cebu or Negros.My boss and I arrived early at this cafe to meet his client, who is also his friend. They were talking at the other table, looking at a blueprint, and since there was food on the table where I was, they moved there. I felt embarrassed later because they probably moved there because I was eating so slowly, they got impatient.But Ryker said they were going to eat again, so they stayed there and I stayed to watch their things on the table, like their laptop, and Ryker even left his wallet with me, so I had no choice but to wait for them while I sneaked in a text to check on mama and Caloy in Manila. I miss the kids. Plus, the area where they are is brighter because of the sunlight, while the area where I am is a bit dim, but it's okay because there aren't many people around."Good morning coffee girl, how ar

Chapter 35"Where are you?" I heard Ryker ask the person on his phone. We were at a restaurant owned by the Clark Family. The place was about thirty minutes away from our condo unit.Since his guest wasn't here yet, I busied myself with making a list of things to buy here in Cebu for the kids, mama and papa, and my friends. I laughed at Donna's request, she wanted me to buy a t-back. She's crazy, there are so many in Divisoria, she still wanted one made in Cebu."I'll just cancel the meeting if you're still late–fuck! What the?-""What cancel are you talking about? I'll have Dark kill you there." I didn't know why I suddenly smiled when I saw Ms. Cole behind Ryker, she signaled me not to speak because that was her plan. She actually smacked the back of my boss's head, which I knew he deserved."What took you so long, we've been waiting here since earlier, one hour waiting for you, it's really boring, then you said you'd be here in ten minutes." Ryker said, I immediately furrowed my br

Chapter 36I could barely look him in the eye. I was the reason he was in that hospital bed because of what I did earlier. I felt even more ashamed when he looked in my direction.He wasn't angry, but the feeling that I was the reason he was there, I really didn't know whether to approach him or not.He had an allergy, why didn't he tell me? Why did he force himself to eat the beans in the halo-halo?So, does that mean that back when we were still studying, whenever I gave him beans, he was already allergic? He said he had been allergic to those kinds of food since he was a child. So, is that why, when I used to give him beans when we bought halo-halo and he ate them, he would rush away from our table?It's because he was already allergic. Why didn't he say anything? It's a mystery for me."Are you okay?" I snapped back to reality because of his question.His girlfriend had already left because she had somewhere to go, so I was now at the Cebu hospital to watch over him, even though I

Chapter 50: "Happy birthday!"We all sang happy birthday to Douglas Martinez’s daughter together.Everyone was happy, the children were even happier, there were games and everyone was active. Aside from the little children, the adults weren’t going to be left behind, especially the men, they were also joining the children’s games.Instead of our children enjoying playing, they were also laughing with their daddies. They were almost tripping over each other as they ran to be first in the games the MC was announcing.Longest lines, bring me, musical chairs, relay races, and more. They wanted to play all the games and didn’t want to lose."If this wasn’t a children’s party, for sure they would be taking off their clothes until there’s nothing left to reach the longest line. Look, they even took Zyro’s hair just to include it in the measurement, good thing he has long hair." Michaella said, laughing."My husband is so pitiful, are they going to shave my love bald?""Oh, seriously, maybe

Chapter 49"Are you alright?" He asked me with a smile. I glared at him and pinched his side."Ouch, it really hurts, binibini." He said, making me hit his arm again. I don't know why I'm hurting him, maybe I'm still scared of riding the helicopter and this is my way to relieve my anxiety."It’s all your fault, why didn’t you tell me that was our ride? I’m okay with planes, but helicopters, you’re going to kill me.""No, I thought you were brave like your daughter. But then, I know it now, so next time… we’ll ride a helicopter back to Manila–" he teased me."Hey! Stop it, I’m telling you. You go first, we’ll just take the bus or I’ll have Caloy pick us up. Even if it’s far, I know he’ll go here to pick us up. Just not your helicopter. I’ll die of fear." I told him. I saw his jaw clench and he glared into the distance. Go ahead, mark my words. I don’t want to ride any more flying vehicles.He looked at me and tried to smile, "sorry for what I did, I didn’t know you were scared of heigh

Chapter 48"Aren't you really coming, son?" I asked Maynard, who was reading a book. He loves reading encyclopedias. He almost finished reading the entire volume I bought for them.Since childhood, I haven't trained them to use gadgets, and it's funny that they haven't been influenced by other kids who are into technology.He turned to me and smiled, "No, Mama, just enjoy the birthday party with Freya. I'll just stay here at home and watch over Lola Mama and Lolo Papa while I read." He said, making me smile.I stroked his uppercut hair with my fingers. I was already dressed in a simple white blouse and black pants and white sneakers, and Mama offered to dress baby Freya, so I just waited for them here in the living room. I wasn't in a hurry, and the birthday celebration in an exclusive subdivision in Tagaytay would start later this afternoon.I think we'll still make it. "Okay, after you’re done or when you feel a little tired, you have to rest first, okay? Especially our eyes.""Yes,

Chapter 47“Baby, help me Ryker! They ganged up on me.” Oh, if you hadn’t started it, they wouldn’t have ganged up on you. You’re alone, I have a lot of amazons, even if I don’t tell them to help me, they’ll help me on their own.“Sir, she’s the one who started it, sir, we were just defending our Aubree,” Lorna said to the man who just arrived, looking at us with his hands on his hips. When our eyes met, I saw how worried he was as he approached me. I gasped in surprise, and he immediately carried me, so I couldn’t complain. I felt like I was in a daze at that moment.“Omg, Ryker, how about me?” Ryker turned to Miss Caterpillar, I mean Grachia? Garcia? Diraschia? I don’t know her real name since she arrived.Ryker glared at her sharply.“I’ve known your plan from the start, go home while I can still control myself,” he said and immediately went inside his office carrying me. I heard Miss Caterpillar shouting outside before the door closed.I was so embarrassed because of what this man

Chapter 46"So, you? What do you want?" Mama asked me.I sighed and rested my elbows on our table, waiting for Mama's sinigang to be cooked. It was Sunday, and we had just come from church with the kids, who were now in their room getting ready for the house.We didn't go out because the children wanted to stay home, so we decided to have bangus sinigang in miso for lunch."Am I really taking Freya, Mama?" I said. Ryker's friend's child was going to have a birthday party, and he needed someone to bring a child. Really? He shouldn't go because he doesn't have a child to bring. But apparently, the birthday family wouldn't accept his gift if he didn't go without a child."Those parents are different, huh. If you're the one who wants to bring one of your children, then you're the one who decides, if the children agree.""Freya agreed, Mama, she's easy to talk to, she immediately agreed and was even excited, but Maynard didn't want to, and I understand because he's not into those kinds of

Chapter 45The morning dawned, and I already felt like I didn't want to go to the office. I was sluggish, but I had to work, especially since payday was approaching. I needed to be diligent to get my salary.I hurried into the lobby and rushed to the reception table to log in my name. I was already late, it was almost ten in the morning. I was too lazy to get up, I just stared blankly at our ceiling. My mind was filled with thoughts until I decided to just go to work because I had no reason to take leave and I wasn't sick."Is the boss here?" I asked the receptionist."Yes, he's been here since eight, Miss." She said."Really? Is he looking for me? Okay, thanks." I did nothing but run towards the elevator, and when I reached it, I pressed the up button. When it opened, I was surprised to see Ryker inside the lift, standing with his hands in his pockets. His brows were furrowed earlier, but when he saw me, his face suddenly softened. Was I right, or was I just imagining things? I don't

Chapter 44"Hi-" he greeted us, his voice barely a whisper. His gaze flitted between me and the child. While holding the hands of my daughter, didn't react, probably wondering who she was talking to."S-Sir Ryker," I managed to say, but my voice barely whispered. My heart pounded with nervous anticipation at this unexpected encounter between the father and the daughter.He looked down at Freya, his brow furrowed. He was still holding a teddy bear in his right hand and another one in a paper bag.He looked up at me. "Y-your daughter?" I slowly nodded, and he did the same, as if he understood what I said. "You have a child." He repeated, not as a question.Should I tell him now? Should I introduce him to his real daughter? Is five years, turning six, was enough time for her to meet her father, who now stands before me?"How old is she?" My throat felt dry, and I couldn't swallow."F-five, sir…""Five years old." He bent down his knees to be level up with my daughter. "Hi! What is your

CHAPTER 43"Bye bye mama. Take care always. We love you," Freya said to me. They didn't have school today, so they were at home."Bye baby, see you later okay. Behave yourselves at home and don't be naughty to mama and papa and of course-""Don't talk to strangers.""Right, call Lola mama or Lolo papa. Don't go with anyone you don't know, okay?" I reminded the kids. This is what I always tell them when I'm not around. It's dangerous these days, you never know who's good and who's going to do something bad, even if you know them."Yes mama, thank you ," she said and kissed my cheek again. I showered her face with kisses, making her giggle."Let's go see your twin so I can say goodbye. I might be late for the office," I said, and we walked hand-in-hand towards the bedroom. I left my things in the living room.As we opened the door, we saw Maynard still fast asleep. He had been working on a project last night, so he woke up late. I went to the side of the bed and kissed him on the forehe

Chapter 42"Aubree, is there something wrong?""Papa," I shifted my position so Papa could sit on our long wooden bench outside our mini garden."Nothing, Papa." I just said."You're my child, I can feel it even if I don't know what's on your mind, but I know something's bothering you. You can talk to me, I'll listen." He said, stroking my shoulder."Papa…" I put my head on Papa's shoulder. Mama was inside, cooking lunch. I didn't go to the office today because I didn't want to see Ryker, even for just today."Papa—""Hmm…""What if… for example… when the time comes or the day comes when my children want to know their real father, I don't know what to do, Papa. I'm scared." I confessed."Scared of what?"l"That he might take the kids away from me, Papa. I'm scared he'll take away my rights to my children." I said."Why would he do that? Is it because they're richer than us? Is it because they're influential people? Kid, we may not have money, but we have principles and rights that we
