The Man Who Breaks My Heart (English ) CHAPTER 45
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 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 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 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 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 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

"Mama!" I woke up when I heard Freya my daughter called me."Mama!" her twin, Maynard, I heard him too. They were five years old and still slept beside me in bed."Hmmm… what's wrong with my two babies?" I asked Freya first who was close to me. While Maynard, because he was a restless sleeper, had fallen asleep at my feet. Thankfully, we were sleeping on the floor and a wide foam mattress was spread out there."I love you, mama...." I froze at my daughter's words. Only a lampshade was the only light source so I couldn't see her face.I got my phone which was at a small table to turn on the flashlight and when I looked at my daughter, she was asleep with her eyes closed. In the few seconds I stared at her, I didn't realize that tears were already flowing from my eyes.They really love me so much that even in their dreams, I was there, "Oh my God, my baby! I love you too, I really love you both." I said as I kissed my daughter's cheek who was still sound asleep. She was probably just d

CHAPTER 02 THE MAN WHO BREAKS MY HEART"Did you say that?" I heard Lanie, a staff manager, ask. We were eating at a well-known fast food chain, just across the building where we work.It was lunchtime so we decided to eat here. We alternate the places we like to hang out, because there are many restaurants and well-known fast food chains around this area. It's not just the people in our building who eat here, but many others too.Tomorrow, I don't know where they're planning to eat. I just go along with them. Sometimes I stay in the building and eat at my office table, depending on what I have for lunch.There was one time I ate at the office and I had fried tilapia for lunch with pinakbet and a little bit of salted shrimp sauce. A visitor came and complained about a bad smell. I sprayed air freshener after that, but there are just some people with sensitive noses who find things smelly even if they're not."So, that means Mr. Abad will be replaced as CEO and the replacement will be

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
