All Chapters of Sabotaging My Walkout Queen Book 2: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Athena’s P.O.V. “I am so disappointed in you, Tyler! How could you do this? I am very much willing to give you my daughter’s hand in marriage because I trusted you more than anyone else and now, you have this damn little secret of yours?” Kahit masyadong malaki ang office ni Daddy ay dumagundong pa rin ang baritonong boses nito sa apat na sulok ng kuwarto. “I’m sorry, uncle. It was just a one-night stand and at that time, I was drunk. I was actually thinking of Athena… but believe me, I didn’t know that I have a son!” nakayukong sagot ni Tyler. Si Daddy muna ang tumatayong tatay or guardian niya rito ngayon dahil si Tito Eros ay kasalukuyang nasa Chicago. Actually, mas takot pa nga siya sa daddy ko. Palagi niya kasing sinasagot nang pabalang si Tito Eros, samantalang pagdating kay Daddy ay ak

Athena’s P.O.V. And just like that, everything about that breakup text message quickly flashed back. It felt like every word was chopping off my head—tearing me apart the second time around. I’m so sorry, Athena. You know how much I love you but after talking to your dad, I just realized that I wasn’t still good enough. I’m a coward… but I hope that when the right time comes, I would be able to fight for you no matter what. I’m sorry if I had to say all of these in a stupid text message. It’s just that… I think, I no longer had the courage to face you. I’m sorry that I have to hurt you, but I had to. It would be easy if we will avoid each other from now on. I’m not going to bother you anymore

David’s P.O.V. “Dave…” Kuya Liam just uttered my name bilang pagsaway sa tinuran ko and that was how I dragged myself away from a sabotaging reverie of yesterday. Then, he looked at Athena again like a concerned brother. “It’s okay, Athena. We still look forward to your presentation. In fact, we still have a lot of time to discuss your revised blueprint so none of these is your fault.” “For now, ipaaayos muna natin sa mga software engineer ang nawawalang files mo. I’ll fire them immediately if they won’t be able to restore your docs.” Although calm, there was a bit of threat on Kuya Liam’s tone. Entirely confused about how Kuya Liam seemed to be always in favor of Athena, I was about to respond when I heard knocks. At that instant, natigilan ako, napayuko, at bigla na lang napasabunot sa sarili kong buhok.

Athena’s P.O.V.   “Yes, I am. Why and who is this? What happened to Denise? Where is she?” aligaga at nag-aalalang mga tanong ni Cristoff—I mean, ni David—doon sa kausap niya sa telepono. Dala marahil ng matinding bugso ng damdamin, napatayo pa talaga siya mula sa pagkakaupo.   On the verge of being defeated, I rolled my eyes before letting out a deep sigh of annoyance. Pagkatapos ng modelong si Melissa na lantarang kahalikan niya sa seaside ng QDMC Avenue Mall at kahalikan pa rin niya noong nag-scuba diving kami sa Casa Evangelista; sa ex-girlfriend slash secretary niyang si Vanessa na hanggang ngayon ay palagi niyang kasama; sa iba’t ibang babaeng nali-link sa kanya sa loob at maging sa labas ng kumpanya; tapos ngayon, Denise naman?   Ilang babae pa ba ang makaka-engkwentro ko sa kanya? Ilang babae pa ba ang kailangan niyang gamitin para ma-realize niyang ako talaga ang mahal niya?  

Athena’s P.O.V. Mamayamaya pa ay pinahid ni David ang mga luha sa magkabilang pisngi ng babae at niyakap niya ‘yon nang walang kasing higpit. Sa mga oras na ‘to, I just wished that I knew how to do lip-reading! I wished I knew how to read minds as well, because I wanted to know David’s thoughts and feelings. I didn’t care at all kung kasama man ako roon o hindi. Hell, damn it! Nakakainis lang na hindi ko naririnig kung ano man ‘yong pinag-uusapan nilang dalawa. Nakakainis na nakikita ng dalawa kong mga mata na ‘yong lalaking ni hindi man lang ako magawang ngitian ay nakangiti ngayon sa piling ng iba… na para bang sinasabi ng mga ngiti niyang ‘yon, na magiging okay rin ang lahat. Throughout my entire life, I had never felt this level of pain… not until I saw how David was smiling at her. Ako dapat ‘yon eh. Ak
