“Let’s Divorce.” Cold and ruthless. There was no emotion in his eyes when he said those painful words to me.
The tears that were forming in my eyes fell helplessly. I kept silence. My heart was fragile and breakable, yet he still had the guts to tear my worth apart.My lips trembled when he slid the papers on the table towards me. When I saw his signature clearly, my heart cracked in an instant. I felt like it was bleeding inside my chest.His shadow towered over me when he stood up. “I already called your dad about this, so you don’t need to worry about his reaction.” His voice was deep and cold.I watched how he looked at his watch without even glancing at me. “After signing the papers, you can put it inside my drawer. You can ask Sebastian to drive you back to the Daño’s mansion if you want to.” His eyes were unbothered. “I’ll be going now.”I waited for the door to close before my broken voice escaped from my pale lips. It hurts. It fucking hurts! My sight becomes blurry as my tears rapidly fell.For three years of agony, this was the very moment where my limit couldn’t hold on anymore. I love him. I have always loved him no matter how cold he was to me. I didn’t care if his grey eyes wouldn’t land on mine, or his treatment was a bit unpleasant. I was contented with his four words everyday.The words ‘I’ll be going now’ was so felicitous for my ears before, but now it shattered me.Picking up the pen, I slowly signed it while whimpering. I didn’t know if my signature was in the right place because I couldn’t see the papers anymore due to my tears. I could even feel the papers becoming wet.How? How did our happy marriage become broken? How did our love turned to coldness? It wasn’t like this! This was not what I wanted.After crying for an hour, I rushed to my car and drove to where my mind would take me. I was driving for thirty minutes when I reached the place full of memories. After parking, I went out to feel the cold breeze.The sun was setting beautifully but not like the old times, I witnessed it alone. Without him, without his warmth. I was all alone, broken and in pain.There’s no other woman. He didn’t cheat. He explained what was his reason but it made me feel more helpless.‘I’m sorry, I fell out of love.’ Funny right? He said that he woke up one day, realizing that he doesn’t love me anymore. He made me feel like it was just a simple case. He didn’t even care about how I feel. He simply wanted to cut our ties apart.“Princess…”I turned around to see who owned the familiar voice. Watching my dad, with pity in his eyes made me want to end my life so bad.He hugged me gently and caressed my back while I was crying so hard. “It’s ok my princess. Everything’s going to be alright.”“W-why dad? What did I do to d-deserve this? Y-you know that I was a g-good wife. He knew that I l-loved him so m-much.” I was stammering while saying those words.“Hush now princess. Daddy’s here, you’ll be fine.” He then guided me to stand up because my dress was full of sand. “I know how much you love him. I also know that he did love you. Maybe fate has a better plan for the both of you.”“Let’s go to the Villa first, your mom and brothers are waiting for you.” He tenderly said before I nodded.I took a glimpse of the sun yet it was already too late. It was already eaten by the water and clouds. The light vanished and the darkness emerged, like how our love story had ended.I followed my dad to our Villa near the beach and was welcomed by my handsome brothers. Somehow, it lifted the sorrowful atmosphere.“Princess!” The triplets attacked me with a tight hug which warmed my broken heart. “We’re back!” They exclaimed.I smiled back. “So all of you decided to come home after knowing that I’m broken hearted? Should I be touched about it?” I tried my best to lighten up my mood.Andrew, our oldest smiled back and patted my head like a pet. “Of course you should be. Casper didn’t even join his important meeting in Los Angeles when dad called us.”Casper laughed then crossed his arms. He sat on the sofa while looking at us. “Compared to what Dean did? Cancelling an international meeting wasn’t even an issue.” He playfully said.We all stared at Dean, my big brother who was innocently looking at us with his charismatic face.He shrugged his shoulders before saying, “My baby told me to comfort my dear sister though. Damn it! She just fucking postponed our honeymoon?!”“Your mouth Dean Mathew Daño!” The living room was filled with laughter’s when mom angrily shouted. She does hate curses.Mom slapped my brothers arms before she finally stared at me gently. Slowly, my body felt weak again. My mother’s eyes, I know what’s inside those. I know that she was also hurt.“Our princess, I’m sorry that mom was late.” Because of what mother said, I broke down in tears once again. I knew it! They pity me.“I know that Black loved you, but I think that it was our fault for arranging your marriage too early. I hope you can forgive mommy and daddy.” My mom’s voice was so gentle that I wanted to listen to it over and over again.I nodded many times before they all hugged me. A family hug.“Don’t worry princess, your handsome brothers are here. Well, aside from dad whose ugly.”“What did you say?!” Dad’s loud voice echoed when ‘kuya’ Andrew teased him.Mom sighed and pinched dad’s ears that gained our smiles. They’re truly made for each other. I wished we were too, but the world was cruel.I felt my mom’s soft palm on my hands before ‘kuya’ Casper spoke. “What does our princess want? Brother Casper will give it to her.”“Your handsome brother Dean will also comfort you dear princess, or else, my baby will make me sleep on the floor.”I giggled when I heard what Dean said. Truly dramatic. Somehow, it made me realize that it’s not the end of the world yet.I felt my tears fall for the last time. All I did was loving him, giving everything for him yet it was still not enough. I swear that this will be my last tears, my last hope, and my last thoughts of him.Once I come back, I’ll be stronger and braver. I’ll make him realize that letting me go was his loss and not mine. That I can live without him. That I can love another man aside from him. And this, I’ll mark my words.“Are you still sad?” Mia, my brother Dean’s wife and also my best friend asked. She hurriedly visited me earlier right after she came back from Spain. I forced a smile that didn’t even reach my eyes. “I’ll be lying if I said I’m not Mia. You know how much I sacrificed for him.” “Since our elementary days, till we graduated from college, you witnessed it all.” I added, trying to ignore the thorn that was inside my throat. It’s been five months since I left, or more like he did. I wasn’t able to see him anymore, nor was I willing to face him. True to my words, it was also months since I last cried. When I forced myself not to shed any more tears, it wasn’t easy. I wasn’t completely healed. Well, it was the hardest. I was thankful that my family and friends were there. They lifted me up to forget and enjoy my freedom. I stayed at our Villa near the beach where we first met. I know that many people would rather be far away from the places that used to be their paradise before they got
“Are you ok Princess?” I blinked several times before his message hit me. I turned to face them and smiled like nothing happened. I didn’t realize that I dozed up for a moment. “I’m fine mom.” I answered. “I’ll be heading to my room now, I’m so excited that I wanted to pack more things.” They all chuckled before I stood up and walked upstairs. I didn’t know why I was excited. Was it because I’ll be going to New York for modelling? Or because of something else? Gosh! What was I even thinking? Of course it’s because of the modeling stuff! I closed the door and typed on my phone. My heart was thumping so loud that I’m afraid if ever my family could hear it from below. ‘1 PM, at my favorite restaurant’ – SENT I blew some air from inside my chest because it felt like it was drowning me. Why now? Why after five months? Did he realize that he still love me? Was he regretting what he did? Maybe because my mind and body was exhausted that I fell asleep so fast. I woke up at eight before
His grip becomes gentle. My mind froze and my lips trembled as his kisses went deeper yet soft. His slender fingers crawled up to my nape and pushed my face to his. “B-Black---hmmm…” I accidentally moaned. I composed myself and started to struggle when his tongue entered my mouth. He dragged my body closer to him that made me touch his hard chest. What the heck was he doing?! I stopped and closed my eyes, letting my tears fall. Soon after, I felt him withdraw from what he was doing and moved away from me. I opened my eyes and saw how his cold eyes becomes colder. “I h-hate you. I hate you a lot!” I couldn’t suppress the emotions that were building in my chest and my palm suddenly landed on his cheeks. His face slightly tilted but still, he was emotionless. His slightly long hair hid his grey eyes. I took a deep breath as my eyes displayed hatred. I couldn’t control my anger anymore knowing that he was the reason why my baby died. Knowing that he became ruthless to me without some v
I stared at the lenses of the camera with a fierce look on my face. My black cocktail dress glittered as the spotlight focused on me. I slowly walked on the red carpet without any reaction while hundreds of camera’s were flashing one after another, capturing my every move. Not like others, I didn’t have any partner with me tonight. I don’t need no man. “Miss Daño, what can you say about your issue with Mr. Smith?” I stopped for a moment before I explored my sight to the reporter who spoke. I faked a smile and shook my head. “We’re just friends.” I answered. I strode inside the hall where thousands of people with popularity welcomed my eyes. The room was spacious and everything was obviously expensive. It was the 5th year anniversary of C.C. company owned by Mr. Smith, a young businessman that was linked to me for awhile now. More on, he’s just a close friend of mine. “I though you weren’t coming? Where’s your friend?” A manly voice caught my attention and my ears instantly knew wh
The sun’s light peeked into the windows and the rays touched my face, as it radiated inside my eyes which made my pupils golden from brown.I explored my sight around and found myself on my bed. I automatically gasped when I realized that my clothes weren’t the same from yesterday night. I was already wearing a white pairs of pajama.“Shit!” Slapping my head slowly, I was trying to think what had happened last night. As far as I remember, I was drunk and someone whom I thought was Clyde sent me back to my unit. However, I had doubts since he had a very familiar touch with an alluring scent of masculinity.As I was about to get up from bed, my phone rang which made me stop my actions and go straight to where my pouch was seated. I saw Candice' name on the screen so I swiped the answer button and instantly heard her sharp voice.“Bellaaaaaaa!”This woman, “Why?”“I have some good news my dear friend, wann
“Take care Bella. I’ll miss you!” I smiled and hugged Candice tightly. If it wasn’t for her support, I wouldn’t be the person whom I am now. Patting her head, I spoke gently. “I’ll be there for only five months. Once my contract is done, I’ll come back here.” Her teary eyes blinked several times before she hugged me back. Her shoulders were moving slightly. This dramatic friend of mine is always like this so I’m not surprise at all.“Call me once you departed.” I held my phone tight before nodding. “I will.” While waiting for my flight, I could feel the heavyweight inside of me. Maybe because it’s my first time after three years that I will be away from my friend who used to comfort me when I feel down.After minutes of waiting, we were called out so I went to my designated flight number. I settled everything first and walked inside the plane to suit myself before looking outside the window, then it flew above.
I watched how the water dropped from his hair to his slightly hairy yet hard chest. It traveled down to his skin until it disappeared beneath the towel that was being wrapped around his solid waist. His muscular biceps were wet and there was another towel that was on his head.He smirked devilishly. “So, you finally become someone whom you always wanted hmm?” His thin seductive lips rose a bit.I gave him a smug face and sat on the couch away from him. If I was the same person three years ago, I would’ve jumped into his embrace, too bad it’s not me anymore. I smiled and said, “My career is none of your business Mr. De Villa. I’m here for work. Nothing more, nothing less.” He suddenly let out a soft laughed and sat on the couch opposite to mine. The only hindrance in between was the small mini-table. I avoided my gaze to his inviting appearance and shameful actions. “I’m your boss now so you have to follow what I say Miss Daño.” His voi
Mariel took me to a shopping mall. It was not simply a mall, but one of the biggest mall in the world. I had no idea what should we do, but she was kind enough to discuss her thoughts.“Actually ma’am, my boss simply told me to accompany you today.” Her eyes looked down. She was wearing a ripped jeans and a white shirt. I nodded and pointed one of the stall inside. “Let’s go there.” I dragged her with me. “You suddenly rushed in my room and I wasn’t able to eat my breakfast so I’m hungry. Today is my cheat day.”Her forehead furrowed. “What is cheat day ma’am? You wanted to cheat on your boyfriend?!” She exclaimed, wearing a shock expression with her confuse eyes.I giggled. My palm uncontrollably patted her head as we got inside the food chain called Jollibee. “No. You don’t understand because you’re still young, but as a model, I need to limit the calories that I should take everyday.” “A cheat day means I can eat w
