Lahat ng Kabanata ng Diego De Luna, Over My Dead Body: Kabanata 141 - Kabanata 150

Carmella's POV."Oh, I love this!" I whirled around and grabbed the chilled wine. Brodie is still showering, and here I am, preparing our food like a wife."Oh hang on, I'm not like a wife because I'm his wife legally. Tsk, ano ba itong iniisip ko. Nakakalito rin naman pala ang pagiging baliw ano?"I hummed while preparing everything. I kept talking to myself and my audience is my cat, Smokey. He settled here like me. Parang wala siyang problema sa bahay ni Brodie at mabilis siyang nakapag-adjust katulad ko."Okay, Smokey, here's yours." Ibinigay ko na ang para sa kanya, dried cat food. Kumain agad siya.Lumabas na si Brodie mula sa banyo at napangiti ako, dahil isinuot niya ang damit na inihanda ko."Dinner's ready. Let's eat?"He nodded and never said anything and followed me.I made a silent prayer and we started. Hindi ako sanay na magdasal dahil makasalanan ako. Hindi na siguro ako mapapatawad ng Dyos dahil sa daming masasamang taong pinaparusahan ko noon. Pero kahit papaano ay

Brodie's POV . One hundred lips? What the — kind of a woman is she? Dammit. "As you can see, Brodie, we need to make some amendments in this part, bro. I suggest putting a 10 percent deflation rate on the market. What do you think? It's not bad, right?" I heaved deep enough to get out some bad air, but I felt down still. Hell, is wrong with me? "Hey, Brodie, are you even listening to me? Hello?" "Yes? What did you say again?" "Tsk, sabi ko na nga ba. Hindi ka nakikinig at wala ka na naman sa sarili mo. Kung hindi lang kita kaibigan ay ninakawan ko na ang kompanya mo at wala lang ito sa 'yo." Iling ni Nathaniel. "What's bothering you?" "Is it normal for a woman to kiss one hundred men?" My brows crossed. I'm out of my mind. "You mean your wife kissed one hundred lips? What the heck, bro," he chuckled. "Anong klaseng tanong iyan." He stood up and put the papers away. He put them back in the drawer. "I will do the plan as what you suggest, okay? Here have a drink." Ibinigay ni

Brodie's POV.Having Carmella around helped me ease my sleep. Holding her hand next to me, lying in bed, put me to sleep.Hindi ako dating ganito, dahil hindi ako nakakatulog sa gabi. Kailangan ko pang pahirapan ang sarili ko para mapagod ang katawan ko para makatulog. But Carmella changed that routine for me. One touch of her and her smiles is my lullaby.Learning her likes and dislikes, I kept that in mind. I've done my research, and she's easy. The easy type when it comes to heart.Mataray siya, pero malambot naman ang puso pagdating sa iilang bagay. At matigas sa mga desesyon na gusto niya. She can put up a fight. There's no doubt about that. She's a fighter. I know that. But one thing that up until now made me puzzle about her. I don't think she had one hundred exe's. I just can't believe it.Today, after a busy day at the farm, I prepared her favorite dish. The dish that she misses a lot at home. . . Pasta.It's not ordinary pasta because every ingredient and even the sauce was

Brodie's POV.She blew up the half a million dollars? Huh, damn. . . This is cool anyway. I have the best excuse to have her."So, anong gusto mo?" Matapang ang titig na pinakawalan niya sa akin. Napasandal ako sa dingding at seryoso siyang tinitigan.I'm not drunk, but I'm hot enough to make her mine tonight. We are back at the hotel now. It was early to go. There are still events at the venue, but I lost my appetite. All I want to do is to drag her to bed, kiss her hard, and make her moan in pleasure.Damn this. The alcohol is now playing a little guilt in my system. This is why I hate drinking."Like I've said, I'm cool about this, Carmella.""Okay. That's fine. May pangangailangan ka at ako rin naman 'di ba?"She crossed her arms together, and I swore behind my mind. She's hard to tame. That's for sure, but why do I find her more sexy? Huh, I must be crazy.I nodded and sighed in relief."Okay, but I have my condition, Brodie."Brodie? She's calling me Brodie now instead of mahal

Brodie's POV."Is she still sleeping?""Yes," I sighed, looking at myself for the final time."How do you like your haircut?" Her brows narrowed."Perfect. Thank you, Vein." I stood up, composing myself for the final time."Are you sure you are not going to regret this? The organization is spying on you, Brodie. Sooner or later, they will find out about this, and you will know what will happen next.""I don't care, Vein. I'm ready for anything. I'm nearly there. Just a few steps away, and this will be over." I turned my back, grabbed my stuff, and got ready to exit the place."And what about Nicolle?"Napaigting ang panga ko at hindi ko nilingon si Vein. Itinaas ko nalang ang kanang kamay ko sa kanya.Bahagyang yumuko agad siya.---"Thank you, mahal. It felt like we were living in the dream." Carmella looped her arms around me, burying her face against my chest."Hmm, ang bango mo talaga? Ano ba ang gamit mong shave? Perfume? Sabon?"I scoffed and hugged her tightly. "Just the hotel
