All Chapters of The Broken Hearted Billionaire: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

FERNANDO WAITING FOR CARMELITA is one of the most dreadful things I have ever done in my entire life. It's puzzling and panicky at the same time. I hate feeling vulnerable. It reduces confidence and masculinity.I know you think I'm scared, but it's not like that. I'm just a little afraid of being abandoned. Besides, it's been quite a while since Carmelita went to get some help. I didn't realize the time, but in my estimation, she might have been missing for forty-five minutes.Did she get to the highway? Did she get lost? Those are some of the questions that come to my mind while thinking about Carmelita.It's impossible for a woman to go astray. If I am from here, I should know the ins and outs of the island. Plus, the road is not too far from here. I am sure that she should have arrived there in about twenty minutes.But maybe no one is passing by yet? Or did something bad happen to her? Argh! This is so hard! I can not do anything!The worst thing is that I can't stand properly e

FERNANDO"TATAY JOSE, JUST CALL ME ANDY," I said, smiling at the old man. "Good morning, too," I responded.Yes, the caretaker, Mang Jose, or Tatay Jose, is with me now. I used to call him Tatay even then. And since I already had a phone, I contacted him right away and told him we would meet today because I wanted to go to the beach house. I also have to put my other stuff in there. The ones I brought from Manila."Silly, guy. Come. Let’s put your things in the back of the car," he said, and reached for my things."Thank you, Tatay," I said. I watched as he put my things in the back of the car. It seems that nothing much has really changed for him. He is just a little older, but Tatay Jose still looks a bit like the actor Dennis Padilla."There... Are you settled? Let's go?"I just nodded to the old man.We started to travel to the beach house. It is also quite far from the town and resort. During the ride, Tatay Jose, and I were still talking.He is just asking about my life in Manil

CARMELITA"OH MY GOD!" I exclaimed as I entered my office. I restlessly paced inside my office with my hands running through my hair. "What the fuck have I done? Shit! What the hell am I doing?" I chastise myself while still closing my eyes from screaming.I dived to the nearby couch and covered my face with the throw pillow, and then I screamed again. I just stopped what I was doing when I heard someone come inside the room. I panicked and adjusted in my seat because I didn't lock the door. I'm stupid! But seeing who entered gave me goosebumps."Oh okay. It's just you, beshy. I thought it was someone," I said with a sigh of relief and lay down on the couch."You thought I was Ando? Is that what you mean?" She looked at me. She came and sat in the empty chair."No... It's not… Uh, whatever you say," I snorted.She threw me a throw pillow. I was struck in the face."Ouch! It hurts!" I roared."Fool! I'm really going to hurt you because of what you're doing. What the hell are you thinki

FERNANDO"HEY. WHY ARE YOU HERE?" Tatay Jose asked in surprise when he saw me enter his office."My boss has gone to the other office. I'm her driver again today," was my answer. I took his one hand and "mano"."God bless you, Andy," said the captain.After that, I sat in the empty chair in front of his table."It's good that you came here. I heard some gossip from the islanders and I want to hear it from you. So, I am glad you are here," said Tatay Jose."Huh? What is that?" I asked in surprise."Did you propose to Carmelita? The gossip is that you are g

FERNANDO"WHOA! It's so beautiful here!" exclaimed the twins. They ran and splashed into the water together."It really is beautiful here! These rock formations are the best. Let's take a picture, sis. Come on," Agatha said, and she and Tali took a selfie."Where are we again?" I heard Carmelita ask our boatman."We're at Barracuda Lake. We just came from Kayangan Lake. Fun fact: It's called Barracuda Lake because when you dive, you'll see the fish skeletons of barracudas below," our boatman, who we got to know as Mang Junior, explained."Ohh..." some of us murmured in response."Guys! Dive in! The underwater view is amazing!" Cole shouted as he appeared to invite us.The twins didn't wear life jackets because they're good swimmers. But they wore goggles to see underwater better.We brought our own swimming gear, so we didn't need what was provided by our tour guide. Well, all of us are from Marupok Island, and we all know the dos and don'ts of the sea.Anyway, we were excited to dive
