Lahat ng Kabanata ng That First Night With Mr. CEO : Kabanata 211 - Kabanata 220

Madaling-araw na nang lumabas ng silid si Gael. Outside of the hotel room he was met by Gray and two more guys that looked familiar to him. Their eyes instantly widened when they saw him. "G-Gael," anang isa. "He doesn't remember any of us, Jacob," mabilis na paliwanang ni Gray sa lalaki bago bumaling sa kanya. "They are Charlie's bodyguards. Hindi ka nila kasi nakita kanina. Sa kanila ko ibinilin si Theo Mondragon." Agad na kumuyom ang mga kamay niya. The mere mention of the guy's name sent him to the edge immediately. "Where is that a*shole?" he asked, his brows furrowing further. "Axel and Jacob handed him to the authorities just a few minutes ago. I will go to the police camp where he is temporarily detained later for follow-up and to give my statement too. Don't worry ako nang bahala kay Theo Mondragon," paniniguro ni Gray sa kanya. "And what about Stanley Dominguez?" tanong niya ulit. "Authorities are already after him. He'll have his punishment in no time." He g

"Thank you, Charlie. I have never opened so many gifts in my life!" excited na pahayag ni Jasmine nang matapos na ang party. Halos sila na lang ang naiwan sa venue. Nagpaiwan siya dahil hindi niya nagawang kausapin ang kaibigan bago mag-umpisa ang party dahil late na siyang dumating. "I'm glad you enjoyed it, Jas. Next stop, welcome home party after you gave birth," aniya, nakangisi. Mabilis na nalukot ang mukha nito, suminghap nang di oras. Natawa naman siya. Kahit kailan talaga, apprehensive pa rin ito pagdating sa mga events. "Breathe, Jasmine. I was kidding," sabi niya, lalo lang lumabi ang kaibigan. Mabilis siyang bumaling sa dumaan na waiter na may bitbit na tray ng champagne flutes. She grabbed two glasses and drank it all in one go, one after the other. "Hey, that stressed huh?" ani Jasmine. She slowly nodded, magkasabay na ibinalik sa tray ang mga champagne flute bago muling kumuha ng isa pang baso na may laman. "Exactly," sabi niya. "Charlize?" anang baritonong

Humigingal na ibinagsak ni Gael sa counter ang walang laman na bottled water. He consumed the contents of the whole bottle in one go in an effort to calm his racing heart. It was four o'clock in the morning and he just woke up from another nightmare. He dreamed of it again. That same freakin' dream with Charlize in it and asking for his help. He was able to ran after her this time, subalit hindi niya ito naabutan. But he knew a person from behind her was pulling her away from him. He saw the figure, it was man. A faceless man to be exact.At kung ano na naman ang ibig sabihin niyon, hindi niya alam. Didn't he already save Charlize from that perv Mondragon? Is the dream signaling him that something bad will happen to her? Was she in trouble again? Just how many enemies do they have? He huffed. Frustration filling his chest once again. After that incident with that perv Theo Mondragon, hindi na siya laging mapakali. His chest hurts everytime he thinks about her. His heart pushes h

Agad na natigilan si Charlie sa sinabi ni Gael. She bit her lower lip to prevent herself from sobbing. She can almost feel the sadness in his voice and her heart went to him in an instant. There she was thinking how Gael's life was easier than she was because he was not burdened by anything from his past, their past. But looking at Gael now, she never thought how miserable was the life he'd been living for the past half a decade because he doesn't know anything about the life he had lived. "I'm sorry," umpisa niya. "I'm not sorry for what you think my father did that made you live your life this way. I still believe that he's innocent. But I am sorry because I thought your life was easier than mine when it's not." Her lips quivered, willing her tears not to fall. Gael just looked at her, the deep sadness in his eyes lingered. That made her reach for his hand. "The day will come when you'll remember everything, Gael. You'll remember me, you'll remember us, and every single thing th

Charlie kept shifting on her seat. Bakit hindi? Aside from the fact that she's tensing because of Gael's presence smothering her still despite him eating silently beside her, it was the first time in weeks that another person, aside from her bodyguards and Gray and Jasmine, learned about Gael's return. Well, they're not romantically involved anymore but still... Gael wronged her. Her family will go after him now that he's back. Lalo na kapag nalaman ng mga ito na ito ang nasa likod sa tangkang pagpapabagsak sa SSL. Her family will retaliate, she's sure of that. That's why she's been keeping the truth about Gael's return. Gusto na niya sanang umiwas sa gulo. But Eric Samaniego is a family friend. He has worked closely with her family before and is still close with her parents even now that he has retired from intelligence work. She's sure one of these days he will talk to them and then... there will be more chaos again. She will be forced to answer the endless questions inside h
