Chapter 28: Where are you going?
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"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.

People will really deceive you. How many times did I say this?

"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

"What?" Uno stepped forward. His lips pursed in a grim line as he tilted his head and eyed me with his sharp, deadly eyes."Pardon, Farrah but I think I heard you—""No, Uno. You heard it right," I breathed and bowed my head to avoid his gaze."I don't want you anymore..." I repeated. I licked my lips like I am marinating the lies I will utter after this."I don't want you anymore, so can you now leave me alone?" I lifted my face and glanced at him with firmness in my eyes. My heart is hammering loudly like it wants to burst out of my ribcage.Uno's eyes were still dark and he remained silent. He just stared at me for seconds."Y

Chapter 33:"The heck girl? You really did that?" Vanessa furrowed her plucked brown eyebrows and showed me a disgusted look. "You are a really horrible dog, Farrah."I rolled my eyes and whirled around to face the wall of my room. I pulled the blanket up and covered my body up to my shoulders, hiding from the cold air blown by the air conditioner of my empty, lonely room.It was three days after that heart wrecking scene I had with Uno but it was still etched on my mind in a crystal clear. His tears, his sorrowful eyes, and his shrunk shoulders. His desperate begs and repeated blabbers that I love him.I heaved a deep, long sigh and shut my eyes close. Please, go out of my mind already!Vanessa's hand pulled my blanket out which ma
The Million Dollar Marriage Deal Chapter 35: What Do You Want Me To Do?
Funny how a man will tell you they love you and will wait for you even if it takes a lifetime and then goes out with another woman the day after he said it.They will buy you flowers, take care of you when you are sick, cook you healthy foods, fetch you, and then...they will vanish like a ghost. I know it's a bit famous for teenagers right now but heck, I didn't know I will go through it! I didn't know Uno is the type of person who will go with another girl when he lost his chance and that is so annoying!But come to think of it, Farrah. You fucking asked and begged him to leave you so why make a fuss about it?I was about to take a step back and turn my heels to go back to where Vanessa is when my pride talked inside. Why would I back out after blabbering shits? I internally rolled my eyes and stopped myself from slapping my cheeks.

I hate it. I really hate how Uno can hurt me and at the same time make my heart flutter. The man who made me sleepless for days is also the same man who runs in my mind right now, in the middle of the night where I should be sleeping soundly!It's been days since I last saw him, and as usual, I locked myself up. Of course, I don't have a face to show him when he clearly humiliated me the last time I saw him! Those bags aren't for Aliya but for me...and I hate how he looked so triumphant when he saw me startled!I put a pillow on top of my face and groaned as I roll my body. I put my feet at the wall of my room, making me lay in the middle of the bed horizontally. I glanced at the ceiling and gawked for minutes with all the things running in my mind.Uno didn't fail to call me after that scene. It was crazy! I mean, he will always call telling me if I already ate or did I sleep well, anything that annoys the hell out of me to the point of not answering any of his
The Million Dollar Marriage Deal Chapter 37: Talk About The Million Dollar Marriage Deal
The thing I am really sure of? I am poor and I need money to pay for our debts. My idiotic hell of a father did not do the right things and made himself a fool which led us to be chased by loan sharks.Seven years ago, when I chose to build my guard up and pushed all the people that I love away from me, the only thing that mattered the most is money. I have been so dependent on the comfort that my riches have given me that I already forgot that it runs out when you use it excessively.I partied all night, drank as hard as I could, and go home with nothing but a Farrah who will puke at her bathroom and then go out without her pumps and lay against the white, soft sheets of her bed. Sleep soundly that midnight and then wake up at lunch the next day, eat alone, and then plan for another night bar hopping.I completely go back to my old life, putting aside everything that has happened to me. Every time I am in a loud, crowded place, I somehow forgot all the things t

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 just don' know if Farrah wants the same, but I hope it is.I have been begging her a lot of times in Batanes to make a baby, though I made sure that I did everything I need to do, it is still up to Farrah since I am not sure if she's taking shots or pills."My husband smells so nice, but the food smells better. 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.

Since that day, I forced myself to be more understanding. I don't remember myself as someone who gets jealous easily and I don't give harsh kisses to Farrah. That was not the love that I know, and I will never let myself continue doing that shit for years.I worked so hard from day and night to finish all my works ahead of time, I want to to make it up to her. I know I was never a good husband for weeks and that she doesn't like me. But I can still try. I waited for seven long years and I got no plans on losing my chance again.

Almost all their business partners are present, including the Saldivar group. Ever since I have been appointed as the new CEO of our empire, I invested in their company.

I've been gone for years, I asked my grandfather to train me overseas just so I could avoid myself from running back to her but the moment I stepped outside the plane, I know I will never be able to do it.At first, I thought living in the same country would be easy, but I'm wrong. We have the same circle of business partners, and I heard, she is helping on managing their company.

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. I tried so hard not to turn my back, but I ended up walking back to her to check if she's fine.A fucking in love idiot who can't even withstand he
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.

She always thought that I am weird because I stayed for too long even when she keeps on pushing me away.It was one hectic morning, I just got home from our out of the country vacation and I forgot that I need to transfer to a new school. I still have this jetlag, my head is aching that I couldn't focus on the things I need to do before this day ends, and it starts with enrolling. It was just a week before the academic year starts, and I am already hurrying because I am not sure if the University that I want is still accepting late enrollees. I don't want to use the power of my family, but if they wouldn't accept me, then I will have to ask a favor to my grandmother and let her talk to the head just so I could go to this school.My black, thick-rimmed glasses are falling. My big shirt felt so thick against my skin that sweat started to fall down my face. The line is
