Chapter 66: Changes
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The unexplainable expression in Uno's face was still etched on my mind the moment we found out that we are pregnant. He bought me three kinds of pregnancy test kits and paced back and forth, he didn't even go out of the bathroom even when I am taking a pee. He just waited for me, leaning against the sink while biting his lips or playing with his fingers.
Two lines appeared on both three kits and after that, he screamed like a crazy man saying "I am going to be a father!" and jumped with a wide smile plastered on his face.
He was happy, that was what I know. I only watched how pleasant his laughter, how excited he looked like, and how his eyes glistened at that time, and I just stared at him...trying to remember every detail that is etched on his face and careful not to miss anything.
Because moments like that are priceless and can be seen in a limited time. From that night, he didn't let me do things. He just told me that he will buy books to search for our baby

Uno is not cheating on me. Uno is not cheating again. Not when we are already married and having our firstborn.Those were the words I chanted inside my mind as I tap my fingers at my forearms. My arms were crossed, same as my legs as I leaned my back at the sofa's backrest. It was already late, about ten pm and I should be sleeping by now but the things that I saw in Uno's shirt were etched on my mind.No matter how hard I try to convince myself that it's just nothing, I know there is something going on. I can't sleep with those things running inside my mind. The thought of Uno, hugging another girl to the point that her scent transferred to his shirt makes me want to cry. But I am still having a glint of hope that Uno will not repeat the things that my parents did.I don't want to make conclusions, I don't want to be like the old Farrah who closed her ears and mind to the things that she should know. The only thing that makes it different right now is that we

My hand felt like they are weak, my fingers trembled, making the holder of the paper bag crash against the tiled floor. My eyes widened as I glanced at the people in front of me. My lips are parted, and my heart slowly felt like it was being stabbed by knives. The booming heartbeats felt like they want to go out of my ribcage as a mixture of wrath and grief gushed inside my system.My legs felt wobbly, but not so weak to stop me. The next thing I knew, I am already pacing towards Uno's wooden table and pulling the hair of the girl."What the fuck is the problem with you, Uno?!" I huffed. My fingers curled against the Hazel-colored hair of the woman in front of me."Ah!" The girl shrieked in pain as I made my hold more intense. I can't believe this!"You bitch! You have no dignity! Dirty!" I yelled continuously."Farrah what the hell!" Uno's voice thundered. He hastily stood from his swivel chair and turned to remove my hands from his mistress' hair
The Million Dollar Marriage Deal Chapter 69: Lost
I opened my eyes when I felt a pain on my stomach. I groaned and wandered my eyes around the whole room. White walls, a closed room with a small window at the right side covered with blinds welcomed my eyes. The room was almost silent, except the small noise coming from the room's air conditioner and the ticking of a machine beside my bed. I tried to pull myself up using my right hand and grunted when I felt the stinging pain on my lower body.The door opened and revealed Vanessa's troubled face, behind him is Dylan with the same expression, but with food on his hand.I furrowed my brows."What happened? What's with your faces?" I asked and touched my tummy. My eyes darted at my dress, and then I remembered, I slipped on my unit's bathroom and lost consciousness.My heart started to beat wildly, I touched belly. It feels so strange like I lost something inside me. Fear crept inside me. My heart beats loud as the corners of my eyes heated, my chest tighten

"What do I deserve to know, bastard?" Uno, in his brows puckered in a frown and usual scowl, uttered in a deep voice. He was wearing his rectangular glasses, his hair divided in the middle, and his white long sleeves polo curled up to his forearms."Uno..." I licked my lips and carefully walk towards him barefoot."Is there something that you don't want to tell me, Farrah? What is it?" His dark eyes darted at me. His face was already dark, his lips pursed in a grim line, and jaw clenching tightly. I bit the lower inner part of my lips and shook my head."Nothing, Dylan told me that...that he will tell you that I don't want to eat. That's it." I held his arm, my head bowed a bit, refusing to meet his eyes and be caught that I am only lying.I saw in my peripheral vision that he scanned me from head to foot, and then I felt his hand touching my waist. My heart hammered fast and my cheeks burned in both nervousness and embarrassment."The Doctor told
The Million Dollar Marriage Deal Chapter 71: Favorite Dish
This life is so unfair to me. I wish I could ask the creator to reincarnate me to a life where I can be happy. Not like this. Not when I have everything that I want but not everything that I need. I hate that I got all the riches but not the life I am longing for.Everything that you are asking for won't be given to you unless you make an effort. What level of effort should I exert just to get my happiness? What more can I do just so I can finally have the life I am trying to hold?It was almost. Almost a true love, almost a great every day, almost a happy family. I thought when I married Uno and watched how happy he is when we finally succeeded in making a family will make my unsaid dreams come true. I thought that maybe I could do the things I wasn' able to do with my family.I thought that I would wake up first and cook for them, wake them up with a kiss and call them to eat with me. The things that I saw my mother doing was my silent dreams. Those things tha

"I told you I don't want to eat! When on Earth will you get everything that I will say? I don't want you here!"His voice was loud and harsh. His eyes were red, face contorting and his breathings are fast as he pointed at the door. He stood up and walk towards me, making me step back until my back was leaning against the cold, white wall of our room.His bloodshot eyes made my legs and lips tremble, my hands were also shaking and my tears won't stop from falling down my cheeks."I'm sorry...I just want to make you eat and–""I told you to leave the house! I told you I no longer want to be with you but it seems like when you slipped, a screw also fell from your head that you wouldn't comprehend anything! Fuck!" He put his left hand beside my waist, his fingers spreading wide as it sticks on the wall and the other flew from his side down to the concrete, making me jump and close my eyes in shock and fear."Uno I'm sorry, but I don't want to lea

"Annulment papers..." I whispered. The papers fell on the floor, my hands are shaking as I darted my confused eyes at him."I already signed it. Yours is the only thing that is needed to pass that. You can also review the terms if you want." His eyes were blank, he was just there, standing without showing any expression on his face.A lump in my throat built up as I sit and pick the papers one by one. A tear fell from my eye. This thing hurts. I just thought that we could still make all of this work but he was so fast. I am still hoping for a chance to make us whole again but he already broke my heart for the nth time.I stood up and throw the envelope on the sofa."W-why are you doing this? Do you not love me anymore?" I asked in a tremulous voice. My lips quivered. I walk towards him, closing the gap between us. "Is this so easy for you that you will just throw me out of your life? Am I some garbage that can be disposed when you no longer want to use, U
The Million Dollar Marriage Deal Chapter 74: Leaving
After all these years, I realized that my dream was too much. It was almost unreachable. Only a few people would be able to achieve and get a hold of it and they are so lucky.When I was a child, I thought, happiness is one of the easiest things you could get every day of your life. Whenever your Mom gets out and will go home with a barbie, whenever your father will carry in his arms while you are pretending to be Darna or superman, whenever one of your classmates will greet you a happy birthday. Those were the simplest things which can make your mood so good and brings you happiness.But as I grow up, I noticed that I am losing my grip. I couldn't get a hold of it longer than I used to. The contentment that I got was already shortlived and I couldn't accept how it slowly vanished on my hand. Happiness is not some kind of a normal dream which you can get after you graduated nor get married.It's not something you can hold onto for the rest of your life. I alread

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.

What I am longing for right now is for us to have a child. Though Farrah is still 28 and I just turned 30, I am ready. 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.

"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.

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
