Chapter 23: Soaking Wet
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I lazily opened the door of my Sedan and went out of my car. The sky looks a bit cloudy and dark. The cold wind blows my ponytailed hair and it sends shivers down my spine.
Maybe it will rain? I thought and went inside my car again to get a foldable umbrella. It's always in my car, just for emergency uses. I sighed and turned my heels to finally enter the school. That day was heartbreaking, who else will be happy, anyway?
I will absolutely not. Seeing Aliya on top of Uno made my heart break. I know it was just an accident and maybe one of them lost his/her balance that's why. And Uno is angry at me, so I wouldn't blame him for spending time inside his classroom instead of going home. He probably saw me waiting for him in the parking lot.
So this is how it feels like to chase for someone, huh

"Where do you think you are bringing me?" I glared at him and crossed my arms.A minute ago, I am outside, the rain is pouring hard and I don't have an umbrella so I walked under the rain when this man approached me, yelled, and put me in his shoulders like a bag just to make me jump on his car. Now, his right hand is holding the steering wheel, his eyes darted at the road and his other hand leaned against the window, his fingers playing with his lips."Put me down, I don't need your help," I demanded and shifted my weight to face the door and attempts to open it."It's locked, you don't have a choice." He glanced at me for a second before maneuvering the car to the left. My eyes scanned the dark road, it's still raining cats and dogs but it was never a reason for me to not see where we are
The Million Dollar Marriage Deal Chapter 25: Underneath The Sheets
What the fuck?That's the only thing I could say to release my frustration. Uno Saldivar is getting into my nerves! How dare him to give me too much pleasure only to disappoint me and leave me here with a high level of humiliation?!I am almost there, just twice or thrice flicks of his finger and more of his lustful stare, and I'm done but he abandoned my flesh! He let me be eager for more!And I actually thought that we'll do it. His image of jackhammering me while my back is leaning against the tiled wall, his groans, and my moans.But that won't happen because he already left with his proud and triumphant smirk. I actually realized, why would he even do things like that if he's angry, right?
The Million Dollar Marriage Deal Chapter 26: Just Like A Star
Day and time are really fast when you are happy. That was what I thought the moment Uno told me that I need to go home.Yesterday, when he made me realize that I'm also begging for him, I abruptly want to go home and hug the sheets of my bed while thinking of the embarrassing moment I spent inside his cold bathroom but right after what happened inside his room, and underneath the soft sheets of his bed, it all vanished.I spent the night and another day here in Uno's house and called my Mom that I'll stay with a...friend, with a quotation sign and slept between Uno's arms. It was warm, the same thing I always experience when I'm with him. I hugged him tightly, put my legs on top of his and his under the blanket and I swear, I didn't realize that the moon is already up."Uno, I don't want to

"Manang Fe!" I called the mansion's mayordoma while my eyes were glued at the mess in front of me. The old lady runs immediately and bows her head, her hand holding a broom and a dustpan. Her face is dripping with sweat."Good afternoon, Ma'am.""What happened here? Why is the living room so messy?" I curiously asked and wandered my eyes at the whole place.Mom loves that old vase, and she will surely get angry if she'll see this!"Did a robber went in? Have you checked the CCTV already?"The woman shook her head and starts to broom the scattered pieces of the vases."Sorry Ma'am Farrah, but I don't want you to hear it from me, ask your parents instead, they are upstairs." She replies, her attention is focused on the

"You are here again?" The bartender's brow arched as I slump on the nearest high chair in front of the bar.I rolled my eyes and put my purse on top of the table before I bore my eyes at him.It was already 6 in the evening. I spent hours trying to hold back my tears while thinking about my ruined life inside the car. It was unbelievable! How can both of my parents do that, I don't have an idea.I roamed my eyes at the whole club. This is not the time where parties go wild, but there are a lot of people here already. Maybe because it's a Sunday?"Cognac, one bottle," I ordered and shifted my gaze at the crowd."I just noticed something. Looks like you go here whenever you are

"Are you planning to leave the house?" I stepped forward and glanced at her luggage before shifting back my gaze at her.I am angry at my Mom and Dad and there is no doubt about that. They hurt and disappointed me. That is what is etched on my mind right now but I just can't ignore the fact that the queen of this mansion is already leaving. Not because my Dad cheated or they will soon be divorced but because my mother wants to live with someone else already.Mom is leaving for a new man, Dad will soon let the Marquezes live here, making me squeeze with nowhere but my room.She gave me an awkward, forced smile.

"Farrah, let's go!" Uno's deep voice thundered. He eyed the bartender with his sharp orbs and reached for my arm which I immediately wiggled for him to remove it."Let go of me! What do you think you are thinking?!" I yelled and attended to the man lying on the floor. I pulled him up and checked his face. He had blood rolling down the side of his lips. The man loosened his tie and unbuttoned two buttons of his polo. He's still wearing his suit but his hair was disheveled."What the hell are you thinking?!" I angrily shouted at him, my drunk ass already vanished as fury surged up in me. Dylan, who's now sitting and wiping the blood using his thumb tried to stand up."Dylan I'm sorry I didn't know—""No, it's okay. Your boyfriend is here, I think

We have been in a couple of fights, may it be big or small...we fought.

She whispered.

"I told myself I will take this slow but this girl is impatient." I murmured when she asked about what I am doing. I have been purposely following her around, sometimes she doesn't notice it, but she did when I came inside the new coffee shop near their place."Uno, what are you really up to? I know how it hurts to see me. I know how hard it is to have lunch with me or even share a table while sipping coffee, so why are you doing this? I thought you don't want to see me because you are being reminded of our child? I am doing everything to give you time, but why are you making me confuse? Why are you giving me hope?""I am here because I still couldn't admit to myself that I no longer love you.

I wonder if he can still add some chili on it?" I heard her voice coming from behind. She wrapped her arms around my waist and glanced at the pan in front of me. I moved his body to the side and kissed the tip of her nose before glancing back to tha pan and stir it.

The Million Dollar Marriage Deal Chapter 83: Part Ways
She knows I love her that much that's why she is not worried g about being left behind nor think of what I would feel.That was what I realized after spending time inside my room without having to answer her calls and texts. It may look and sound like a gay, but I really hate how she can make me cry.When I came to school and talked with the juniors, she suddenly showed herself and looks like she will talk to me so I marched as fast as I could–not wanting to talk to her. I can still remember her words. It was etched on my mind, and I will not be able to talk to her unless all those thoughts already left my mind.I was walking fast when I heard her groan, I was in the middle of thinking whether I will go back to help her or not but just decided to resist her.I heard her calling my name repeatedly.

The Million Dollar Marriage Deal Chapter 82: Will Always Let You
"Are you really that damn in love with her that you will let your pride be stepped on, Uno?"Auton, my old friend from my previous school visited me after that day. I didn't mean to tell her this story, but he asked me what's going on with Farrah and me.And yes, he knows how much I adored that girl. And he somehow hates her, telling me that Farrah will only bring me pain and nothing more."You don't understand because you aren't in love yet, but you will know once you do." I defended."No, if I will fall in love I will make sure that she knows my worth. Not like that. I will never let someone hurt me just because I love her." He shook his head.I just ignored his remarks, pretending that I am deaf. Because no one can ever make me change my mind. I got hurt, I forbid myself on texting her for days and not show up myself. I just hope that she will miss me and text me. When that happens, I will come running again even when she isn't rushing at all. T
The Million Dollar Marriage Deal Chapter 81: Merciless
Farrah.That was her name.With her black hair, brownish-red lipsticks, artificial curls, and narrow nose, she got me. I know from that day that I like her. This was the first time that I felt this kind of attraction.I normally have crushes on celebrities and artists, some from my past school but with Farrah, it was different. I spent some months just watching her and occasionally approached her. May it be for a small pageant she won, a contest whom she said she doesn't like but is competitive enough to win and her birthday. I will sometimes greet her every time we will see each other, but I just found that a bit weird so I stopped myself from doing it and just smile when our eyes will meet.Until I no longer like how boys hold him. She was a boy magnet! Every boy from the hallway would always turn their heads the moment she walks in the middle like a ramp model! It was making me angry, so I tried to be close to her and asked her if I can court her.
