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 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
My mouth was left wide open when I heard the man's reply. His face screamed arrogance with his neatly done hair, sharp eyes, thick brows, and lips curved in a proud smirk. His glasses reflected a combination of green and violet lights when the fluorescent light struck in as he stared at me behind his glasses."What the fuck? Are you insane?" The chair made a loud thud as it crashed against the floor when I stood in a haste. I put my hands at the side of my waist and rolled my eyes."You really want to marry me?" I darted my sharp eyes at him. My lips pursed in a grim line. He shrugged and smirked more which only pissed me off more."Why did you sound so disappointed? You thought I'll never agree?" He chuckled shortly and lingered his eyes on the paper, his forearm placed on top of the armrest, then he shifted his gaze on me and arched a brow."You are unbelievable! Don't you have a girlfriend?" I angrily asked and threw him daggers."I didn't know
I am still confused. Even though I have been a party girl from the past, and an occasional drunkard until now, I still believe that marriage is sacred. It should be contained by two people who love each other and decided to step up and be eternal partners. Your partner will be the one to be with you even when you are at your worst, and it couldn't be done if there's no love between the two.If Uno and I will marry each other, we will probably not work out. We liked each other from the past, and that is not enough. I am thinking of all the possibilities like...what if I bear a child? He or she will be hurt if he/she sees that his/her parents don't fancy each other.Yes, I admit that I am wrong to make this kind of deal with him years ago just so he will vanish from my sight but I also didn't expect that he'll be like this! I didn't know he'll take it serio
"The brute gave me a week to think about it." I rolled my eyes after I drank a glass of cognac. It's already 6 pm and Dylan's club is still not open, staffs are cleaning and disinfecting the tables and sofas but I am the owner's friend so I can go here whenever I want to.The lights were on, and the place is quiet comparing to how will it sound later when it opens at 8 pm."Girl, why one week?" Vanessa asked in a stagy voice and pour another portion of cognac in our shot.Dylan, the owner of our favorite night club is inside the bar and fixing something. Years ago, when I finally decided to end things up with Uno, I found Dylan as my new partner in crime. We grew into good friends, but the label is just that. We are inside a platonic relationship and no matter how the people told us that we look good together and we should try, we both disagreed.I only have eyes for the nerd at that time, and Dylan isn't interested in committing to someone. I actually th
YWith rectangular glasses, neatly done black hair, sharp eyes, and a big smirk, Uno Saldivar screamed handsomeness. He is wearing a white button-down long-sleeved polo paired with a black pair of neatly-ironed slacks, black belt hanging on his waist, and a pair of black shiny shoes to protect his feet from the cold and dust.He gave me a lopsided smile and turned at his side to nod to my secretary who's busy gawking at him before he marched towards me, with a bouquet of red roses in his hand.I gulped. This is new...and
"What the fuck, Uno? What do you think you are doing?" I angrily asked when he finally answered my call.My feet is pacing back and forth, a line appeared in between my brows. I heard him chuckle on the other line. My supposed relaxed and stress-free night has been interrupted by this brute and he only added fuel to the fire while I am hearing his laughter."What? You still have the audacity to laugh? Really?" I slump myself at the edge of the bed and rubbed the towel to my wet hair."You don't have riches, but you have a bad temper," he chuckled more. I cleared my throat, pissed of how he mocks me now that I am no longer the powerful Farrah Evans seven years ago.I don't want to agree with the usual statements of rich people, but I guess, it's true.When you have the money, you are powerful. You can have everything you want and win from any election and contests as long as you have all the damn riches. But mocking me isn't good at all. I don't kno
I removed the towel from my head and rubbed it to the tips of my hair as I glanced at myself in front of the mirror. My pinkish lips looked so soft, and my face with no signs of opened pores and pimples. I licked my lips and sat at the seat in front of my vanity table.Today is the date where Uno and I will go to the product launch he is talking about. It will start at 5 pm, but it's still 2 pm. Uno told me that he will fetch me at 4:30 and I know I spend a lot of time dressing myself up, so I think it's okay. Besides, when I happened to be late again, he will mock me and I don't want to have a fight with him because...I'm already pissed.We didn't meet each other since the day he stole a kiss from me. He just asked someone to deliver the dress he is talking about and texted me that I should not think of ditching him. It somehow made me laugh because I admit, Uno still knows how my mind goes.I actually thought of not attending and just hang out with Dylan and V
"I want all of you to meet my soon to be wife, Farrah Evans."His brazen announcement made me seek for air. He kissed my cheeks and arched his brow at me before glancing back at the crowd who's now clapping their hands. His grandfather is in front, just beside our table with some businessmen in his age. A wide smile is plastered at his wrinkled face as he whispers something at the man beside him while pointing at me.Our eyes met, and the only thing I could do is to force myself to smile at him like everything is fine and I know what is happening. Truth is, I don't have a single idea and the brute looks like he enjoyed my priceless reaction earlier!As soon as we got out of the stage, a lot of businessmen and women went to greet us, and Uno keeps on shaking the hands of the people. And for about half an hour, I just gritted my teeth while my brows are furrowed, not minding if the people will notice that I am pissed.When I noticed that he is not as busy a
