Chapter 45: Embracing a New Life
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I should be grateful right now because it's a Saturday and there will be no work to do but I can't celebrate right now because it's the day where I will let go of my freedom and will start to have a boring life with Uno Saldivar as my husband, and me, as his wife.
I don't get him, alright. The last time we met, he acted so strangely. Why did he suddenly left when he found out that I want to get married in a different country? I just want to be eligible for the divorce! Who the heck will tie herself in a life she doesn't want for a long time, right?
I can't let go of the possibilities. I know I am just doing this to save the business, pay for my dad's debt, and get him out of the bars. Uno, on the other hand only wants to get his inheritance. A divorce after getting everything we want is just fine, right?
Getting married in the Philippines means we will have difficulty in separating. We don't have a divorce in our country and there are only two ways. One is to fi

"You really didn't ask him to go even in Ilocos, Farrah?!" Vanessa, in her usual stagy voice and horrible face, yelled as she stopped folding my clothes.Yesterday, when Uno and I signed the papers, I asked him to drive me to my unit and let me stay even just for that night. Just a night spent alone with my unit before I will live with him. I still can't accept that the life I didn't imagine will now start and I have to endure the days of being with him in one roof, but I no longer have a choice.After that small event of us, he didn't talk nor touch me again. The atmosphere was heavy and eerie silence is creeping me out, and I just silently thank him that he nodded and drop me in front of the tower, but he told me that he will fetch me later in the afternoon so here I am with Vanessa and Dylan, fixing my things and put it inside my luggage. But Dylan is still not here. He told me he'll be late but will go here once he is done on the thing he is doing."He asked me if I want to go some

Uno's raging eyes caught mine, his hand wrapped around my wrist tightly and pull me off the bed, his breathing still fast and his face hard."Uno it's not what you think–""Shut up, Farrah. Let's go home," his eyes darted to Dylan. The man is still sitting at the floor and his hand wiping away the blood at the side of his lips. He forcibly pulls me to and started walking."Uno wait–you should apologize to Dylan he's hurt!" I glanced at the man behind my shoulders, but my furious husband didn't even try to cock his head even for a bit and tightened his hold more, enough for me to feel a sudden pain at his grasp.I flinched. “Uno, can you please–""Shut up, Farrah! We are going home!" His voice told me that his patient was cut short. I shut my eyes close, his voice was booming as hard as the thumping of my heart and I hate to admit it but...he's scary. And I don't want him angry.I know how gentle this man is when it co
The Million Dollar Marriage Deal Chapter 48: Losing My Mind
I really don't know what is wrong with me that every move of Uno etches on my mind. First, he kissed me and became clingy. And then after that, he went home drunk and once again, kissed me and touched me to some part of my body. And then this morning, I didn't even see even a sign of him in the whole house.I am alone! And it's still 6 am! I pushed my hair back using my fingers and lazily strutted the way to our kitchen. It was empty, but there is a food placed in the middle of the dining table with a large steel lid. I sneered and opened the fridge to get myself a box of fresh milk and sat on a high chair.The brute didn't let me see him even for a second, huh? He didn't even let me ask why he is drunk last night or why did he do it.I shook my head decided to fix myself and go to work.Pacifica is fine, some investors are now hesitating if they will still pull out their shares or will stay because the company will soon merge with Saldivar
The Million Dollar Marriage Deal Chapter 49: Sleep with You
"Uno what are you saying? You're just...drunk." I gulped. His head is still on my stomach, and his arms wrapped around my waist.I know this is just the effect of alcohol, and it means nothing. But something in my heart felt so happy that he said something like that. To know that my meetups with Dylan made him upset made my heart flutter in joy and I don't know but...I kind of want to meet Dylan again and again just to hear him beg. I want to hear it several times that it would never leave my mind.But this whole thing is fake. We are doing this for money. Nothing more and nothing less. I touched his arms and tried to remove it from my waist but he just groaned and hugged me tighter."Come on, let's sleep. The clock is about to hit midnight and we still have to work," I touched his hair and played with it."No...you will just meet that idiot again!" His muffled voice and his position right now made me chuckle. Why acting like a baby when he's drunk?

I groaned when I felt the sun rays hitting my face. It was great, alright. They said the sun rays from 6 am to 8 am is healthy for the skin but right now, when I feel so tired and sleepy, I am not sure."What the fuck Uno, aren't you tired?!" I ranted as I hid my face under the pillow and whirl around to face the wall, resulting for my back to be hit by the annoying sun rays.I heard some steps walking closer to where I was and started to pull the thick blanket off my body. I groaned more."The heck, if you want to wake up then do it alone! I still want to sleep! I'm dead tired!"I slept late last night, and even though I slept soundly, I still need a lot of hours to gain my energy back. And this idiot has the guts to disturb me when he is the reason why I can't pull myself off this freaking bed?"Why are you tired, sis?" The other side of the bed sank as I heard a familiar stagy voice. I opened my eyes and immediately pulls myself and glanced at h
The Million Dollar Marriage Deal Chapter 51: Annulment Papers
The moment I stepped inside Dylan's nightclub, I know everything would be hype. The flicking mixture of red, blue, green, and yellow lights usually makes my eyes get hurt but tonight, the dark, crowded room complimented it that it looks otherwise. It was enticing, like they want you to feel the excitement and make you want to drink your ass out, get all drunk, and dance with the great mixture of an expert Dj.The smell of vape smoke, cigars, and different kinds of alcohol invaded my nose as I step inside the room. It's still 7 pm but the crowd is already wild. Makes me remember my good old days, huh?Some of my former college classmates are here, some from the business world, and some are afams.If you wanna pick a rich man, attending Dylan's party is a privilege. This year is different. For the past years, we celebrated his birthday either on a trip to somewhere outside or inside our country, or just close the bar with the three of us getting drunk at his big c
The Million Dollar Marriage Deal Chapter 52: Go Out With Me?
The most important thing that I did today? I asked our family lawyer about the annulment papers and told him to get me one. Months from now, Uno will probably get everything that he wants and Pacifica will gain enough investors. He also said that he already wired the Million dollars in my bank and the only thing that I need to do is to sell my properties and expensive bags to finally pay my Dad's debts and brought him out of the dirty cage.He had been imprisoned for...I think about nine months? And I couldn't afford to let him spend more months there. I know he is a bad husband but he isn't a bad Dad. He didn't let me get hungry nor sleep in a cold, uncomfortable bed and I believe, he deserves the best life he could have even after all the stupidity he did.My original doesn't include Uno. Remembering last night's fight is a pain in the ass. I can't continue living with him if this is the case, and everyone knows I like how freedom can be so entertaining that it

He puts the tickets in my palm and covered it with his hand, trapping it in the middle of our palms as he stared at me with his nervous eyes."I just thought that we didn't do a honeymoon and your birthday is approaching, this would be my gift." He uttered.Right now, I am confused. My mouth was left open as I gape at him, bewildered with his actions. I licked my lips."What? Why? I don't need this, and honeymoons aren't required, we are both busy."This man's action is shocking. One minute he will act all annoyed and then later, he will act like someone so gentle and kind. And he still remembers my birthday, huh? I didn't even realize that my day is approaching."Just go with me, all things are covered. I am really sorry, I swear I will try to be more understanding. Just...this one. Have a vacation with me.""Why would I even go? You can ask someone to be with you–""Someone who isn't you? No thanks." He shook his head and removed his hand from mine, bringing the tickets with him as h

But it was fine...because I love her.""I even brought her to Batanes just so I can focus and letting her know how much I love her. We have been in a couple of fights, may it be big or small...we fought. I honestly thought that we won't make it, but I just love her dearly and I don't want to lose her so I am still here in front of her."Shock was evident on her face as she glanced at me when I slowly went down on my knees."Uno...what are you doing?" She whispered. I smiled at her and reached for the velvet box on my pocket, and opened it."I can never lose my Farrah Saldivar again and I don't trust our first wedding...so I am asking her again.""Farrah, will you marry me, for real and for love?" I asked.Tears cascaded down her eyes when she saw the wedding ring. It was a simple white gold ring with a diamond on its top. Her initials are carved i

"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. Even after what you did, and even after everything that we have been through, I realized that the most important thing is that you are alive. I care about our daughter, but

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. She was already tied to me, a wrong thing that I did. I took advantage of her problems and forced her to marry me just because I am greedy for her love, but it doesn't mean that it would forever be like that.I am determined to make her fall in love with me, that's why I made everything to make my schedule clear. I also did her works in Pacifica without her knowing. I have been studying what is inside their company for two years and now, it gave

"Dude, stop staring at her you look like a damn stalker," Auton whispered on my ear before drinking on his glass.Today is an engagement party for Aliya's Mom and Farrah's dad. 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 know we had a deal that we shouldn't care about each other's lives, but I just can't help it. I need to have a glimpse of her. 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. There are some days where I feel so lucky, I will meet or see her.Crossing a street, buying coffee, going towards h
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. 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

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.

Uno Saldivar's PoVEver since I laid my eyes on her, I knew she would be a big thing in my life. 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
