All Chapters of The Broken Billionaire: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"Santo Niño de Jesus salamat sa biyaya!" Sigaw ni Pauleen pagkatapos niyang buksan ang pintuan ng van at humaripas ng pagtakbo papunta ng mansion. Halos magkandarapa na ito at matumba pero dire-diretso parin sya hanggang makaabot na sa hardin ng bahay. "Ang ganda talaga!""Is she always that hyper?" Tanong ni Emmanuel habang minamasdan ang babaeng Nurse na parang ibon na nakawala sa hawla. "Is she really the best nurse at the intensive care unit in St. Lukes?"Napa-tawa na lang si Karinna at Rosario habang napatungo nalang si Jet sa kahihiyan.Na-unang bumaba si Rosario at sunod-sunod na silang pumunta sa mansion, pahulihin naman si Jet na mas kumulo ang dugo kay Pauleen dahil sa kanya inasa ang mga bag nito."Huy, dugyot seryoso ka bang ako ang magdadala ng lahat ng to'?!" Inis na inis na sigaw ni Jet sa kanya. Ano ba yan, kulang na nga sa tulog. Tagabit-bit pa! Isip-isip ng binata habang nakamungot na dala-dala ang dalawang malaking maleta at may nakasabit pa na tig-isang duffle bag

The buzzing sound from his phone's alarm clock woke him up from his deep slumber, shocking him to awareness. Slowly, he gets up with a loud yawn as he reach out his arms widely. Napakamot sya sa may batok nya, just right before his hairline stops. Tinulak niya papalayo ang makapal na comforter para makatayo mula sa mainit at malaking kama para maligo dahil unang-una may schedule sya na kailangang sundin dahil ayaw niyang mabulyawan muli ng kanilang project director.May taping pa nga pala siya sa Cheer Up 90’s. Kailangan nandun na sya ng alas unse ng tanghali. Ika nga ni Direk Bruce eh "Kung gusto mong makahabol sa ibang giant networks dito sa Pinas, be the Earliest bird in the forest full of eagles."Pero bakit ganun, pagka-angat nya ng kanyang hita ay agad siyang nakaramdam ng malagkit na pakiramdam at tila basa.Fuck. What the heck happened last night?! Hiyaw nya sa sarili ng makita nya ang nanigas na tamod sa may hita nya.Napatingin sya sa kaliwang bahagi ng kama at biglang Nangl

It was another mundane morning. Pero lahat sila iba ang gising. They seemed happier, more full of life... At unti-unti rin silang nasanay na sila-sila ang magkakasama dito sa kanilang mala pantasya na bahay.Nasa may backyard sina Vincent, Karinna at Niña. Habang si Jet at Pauleen naman ang na assign sa kitchen duties."Sigurado ka ba sa ginagawa mo?" Tanong ni Karinna kay Niña, matahas nyang pinag-mamasdan ang galaw ng dalaga habang hinahawak-hawakan nito ang buhok ni Vincent. "I mean... Pwede namang tumawag nalang ako ng barbero.""Bakit nga ba hindi na lang mag-patawag ng barbero? Hindi ba mas magandang idea iyon?" Nakabusangot na sagot ni Vincent kay Karinna.He really didn't want to go through this haircut, pero dahil lagi siyang inaasar ni Karinna na second rate Ian Veneracion look-alike daw sya eh napilitan na lang syang sumunod sa gusto ng dalaga. Feeling tuloy nya isa siya sa mga mister na napipilitan mag-pagupit dahil sa kagustuhan ng kani-kanilang asawa. Ngayon alam na niya

Days had passed since they last talked to each other. Napansin narin ito ng mga taong nakapaligid sa kanila. Oo, nag-uusap man sila pero tuwing kailangan lang and if it was proven necessary pero hindi na ito katulad ng dati na hindi halos mapaghiwalay ang dalawa.Napansin na rin ni Pauleen na hindi na natutulog si Karinna sa kwarto ni Vincent at dumi-diretso na lang ito sa kanyang kwarto pag malapit ng sumapit ang oras ng tulugan nitaGusto mang usisain ng mga Nurse at ng dalagitang katiwala ang nangyayari pero that's all beyond them. Vincent is still their client at ayaw nilang manghimasok sa personal na buhay nito. Lalo na at masamang ma-stress ang binata dahil kabilin-bilinan ni Bastillas na ito ang isa sa mga cause ng epileptic shocks nito.Hindi naman sila magkagalit, hindi rin sila nagkaroon ng alitan pagkatapos ng gabing iyon.A simple but passionate kiss was all it took for the two of them to slowly shy away from each other, at hindi ito dahil sa biglaang nangyari, ang mainit

Vincent was staring blankly at the sky while he was silently sitting in the garden with a lot of things in mind. He breathed in deeply and tried to fey off his dismay as he watched the ocean kiss the shoreline, it was supposed to be a day of fulfillment. But then it was turned into a day that would make his heart ache and his head hurt a little.This was the target date for him to stand on his own and walk with crutches, but then every time that he tried, he would fall back on his knees and had to try again and again. And then that's when his therapist concluded it and said to take it one step at a time some other day. The doctor said it will take him a little bit longer to be able to walk again. His body was oddly unresponsive and everyday, he was feeling a little bit more exhausted.Truth be told, he is patient with his progress. Hindi sya yung tipo ng tao na ipepressure ang sarili lalo na't alam nyang hindi pa nya kaya. He didn't care how long it took or when it would happen, the o
