2024-10-29 19:42:56For some instances, I will thank this girl for agreeing with me but it's just another weird thing because...I don't know who she is.
If only Vanessa or my group is the one who said that line, I'll clap and treat her a meal. I walked until I reached her table. She's with a group of geeks, some are familiar because I sometimes see them with Uno so maybe she's in her second year. The same year as Uno.
"Who are you?" I repeated, glancing at her with my sharp eyes.
"My name is Aliya...I just want to protect you—"
"Do I look lik

"Miss Evans, we won't tolerate this behavior. You will be suspended for a week, and you need to apologize to Ms. Martinez. I'm sorry but I'm really disappointed." The dean shakes his head while saying those things.My brows were still furrowed while looking at the old man. His bald head is shining under the fluorescent light of the air-conditioned room."Please forgive my daughter for this childish act, Dean. I will make sure she'll learn her lesson well." Dad uttered in his deep, baritone voice. I glanced at my father who's now looking at Aliya and her mother. Aliya is hugging her mother and hides her face on her chest. My upper lip moved as I glared at her. The fuck is wrong with this girl and she's still showing my Dad

"Farrah, you need to go home," Uno uttered in a gentle voice. I'm still holding his arms to support my weight for I know I will lose my balance the moment I remove it."I don't want to go home." I pouted my lips and caught his stare. "Why do you look so red?" I asked, he looks flustered and he refuses to look at me.I looked heavenward and put my index finger under my chin to search for the reason why he looks flushed. My eyes lit up and gave him a wide smile."Is it because of the kiss?"&nb

"Your father is planning to file a divorce?" Uno's eyes widened as he took a step closer."Don't make me repeat what I am saying and mind your own business," I uttered with full of authority. I reached for the bottle of whiskey but he hid it behind his back, making me look up to him."I am minding my own business, Farrah." He swallowed and throw the bottle away. It made a sound but it didn't break into pieces. The liquor inside it flows out of the opening and it made me want to just slap Uno for snatching my temporary happiness.
The Million Dollar Marriage Deal Chapter 13: I Need a Label
To spend a night under the dark sky, big leafy trees, cold wind, and the sound of the flies should make me frightened enough for me to run back to the mansion but I never felt peace more than what I have right now in Uno's arms. If I can stay here forever without worrying about what may happen tomorrow, I already did.I removed my hands from his hold and scanned his face. His breathing is now fine and his eyes were sleepy. I reached for his cheeks and caressed it lightly before giving me a small smile."You look tired. Let's go inside," I said and pulled his arm. He lazily drags his feet to where I am heading and the moves we have done is similar to a turtle's so I glanced at him behind my shoulders. He's just looking at our hands while his lips pouted.
The Million Dollar Marriage Deal Chapter 14: Pigalle
I woke up feeling so light. Uno's bed is so comfortable to sleep with! And although his pillow is a bit hard, it's so warm that the air-conditioned room didn't matter!I moved my leg beneath the blanket when I felt a big foot touching mine. My brows suddenly furrowed and opened my eyes only to see Uno's gentle and calm face. His breathing is slow, a sign that he's still asleep. It makes me want to wrap my arms around him but I stopped myself, afraid that I might interrupt his sleep.He slept late last night because of me so h deserves all the rest he can get. I put my palm at the side of my face and place my hand on top of it, admiring an awesome view in front of me.Uno's black messy hair complemented his fair skin. His eyes were defined by his thick lashes and brows, his jaw can cut apples

I wandered my eyes in the whole cafeteria. Some students are laughing while looking at Aliya, some are pointing at her, and the others are whispering with the people beside them. While I'm just observing at them before I darted my eyes at the poor Aliya who's now massaging her foot.My lips are still a bit parted, astounded of what I am seeing right now. The same Pigalle shoes Dad has given me is what she was wearing right now! My blood started to boil when her eyes met mine. I may look so bad but I thank the nerd for not giving her a hand and I highly appreciate the people who are laughing at her and give her the embarrassment she deserves."Ah," I saw her flinch when she tried to pull herself up. She was wearing a white flowy dress and her black straight hair hangs lazily in her shoulders.She shakes her head and hardly stood up using a table near her. I stayed in
The Million Dollar Marriage Deal Chapter 16: Busy
I posted the photos I captured at the seaside earlier. This is my third boring day without school. I thought going there are the most boring moments of our life—not until I got suspended for a week.The first day, I slept and spent my hours watching movies. Uno can't go and spend time with me because he has class and a bit busy because of his birthday celebration happening three weeks from now. He calls me every time it's time to eat to remind me so it's okay. “I” don't want him to go here in my house because I know I will not let him go home.I think I'm cursed. I can still remember how much I loathe him and how I told him for a hundred times that I'll never like him but I just found myself being as clingy as fuck.I slept for the second day. Heck, I slept late on the first day

"Uno, you told me you're busy. What are you doing here?" I swallowed hard as I tilted my head to stare at him. I can see from my peripheral vision that Aliya's gaze immediately darted when I spoke. A line appeared in between my brows as I waited for Uno's answer.All the colors drained out of Uno's face. His lips were parted as he gaped at me, moving his swivel chair to the side to stand up and walk towards me."I asked if you want to go with me, I didn't know you'll have a date with..." I licked my lips and gave Aliya a head to foot. "This bitch." I rolled my eyes and whirled around, removing the magic tape in my nape to pull the salon suit off and handed it to my stylist."Farrah, it's not what you think!""Sorry, I will just set a

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 got only one dream: To be happy with Farrah. And I am almost reaching it. I am married with her, and we have the same feelings for each other. 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.
The Million Dollar Marriage Deal Chapter 85: Batanes
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
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.

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
