A Runaway Bride (English)ย ย ย Chapter 17
Chapter 17As the night deepened, I returned to my unit. I wasnโt too affected by the two beers I had, so I was fine to make it back. Just like earlier, it was quiet, and maybe this time Casey was really asleep.I fell asleep quickly as soon as I lay down on the bed. Maybe it was also due to the alcohol in my system.The next day felt like a normal day to me. But I couldnโt help but check my cellphone to see if there were any texts or calls from Carlew. And when I saw that there were none, I quickly felt disappointed.I checked my phone every hour, hoping that he would text me again. Itโs been days since I last heard from him. Luckily, Iโve been busy during those days.My boss almost buried me in work. It was as if he wanted to make things hard for me. I couldnโt complain, though, because I might get fired. I had no choice but to do everything.Those paper works helped me forget what happened to my heart for the meantime. Every day, I worked overtime, and sometimes Iโd bring work home

Chapter 18I tried to sit properly on my bed, but I couldnโt. My stomach hurt so much. He quickly helped me sit up.Even though I felt awkward, I tried not to show it, especially since we still werenโt okay with each other.โAre you okay?โ he asked.โYeah. Iโm okay. You can leave me now, I can handle this,โ I said coldly. I heard him sigh.โNo, Iโll help you. Please let me.โI didnโt complain anymore when he helped me eat. Itโs not like I couldnโt use my hands, but I just couldnโt take them off my stomach because of the pain.โWhy are you starving yourself?โ he asked. I shook my head as an answer.โIโm sorry,โ he said. I couldnโt stop myself from looking at him.I was in the middle of eating when he spoke like that. My chest tightened when he stared into my eyes. It felt like there was electricity connecting us.โI thought you left?โ I changed the subject and tried to avoid his gaze.โNope, Iโm just nearby, watching over you,โ he replied.I almost widened my eyes at what I heard.

Chapter 19I woke up because of the weight wrapped around me. I quickly removed whatever was pressing on me. It felt heavy and hard to move. I turned around to continue my sleep when I realized something.I quickly sat up, remembering. I saw Carlew sleeping beside me. We were both undressed. I couldnโt help but blush at his appearance. What happened between us wasnโt a dream, it was real! I still felt sore down there.I immediately got up, picked up my clothes one by one, and went into the bathroom to change. Once I finished, I came out, and Carlew was still asleep.I couldnโt stop myself from smiling at the sight of him. He looked like an angel, whether awake or asleep. That was one of the things that caught my attention about him. Heโs caring and sweet. Itโs not hard to like him. From the start, there was something about him that seemed to pull me toward him, making me want to like him.I left him alone in my room and went to the kitchen. Surely, like me, he must be hungry.

Chapter 20"I'm tired. Huhu," I complained.We had just started walking up the stairs to see what Bohol is famous for, the Chocolate Hills."Should I carry you? Or do you want to rest for a while on a bench?" he suggested, and I immediately nodded."Okay, letโs sit for a while. I need to recharge," I said, smiling. I saw the confusion in his eyes from what I said, so I smiled at him as we sat down.I held his hand before explaining what I meant."Youโre my charger. You're my strength and my energy. So letโs rest for now, okay?" I explained, resting my head on his shoulder.We were both quiet, only the sound of birds and the wind was heard. There were only a few people here today, probably because itโs a workday and we chose this day to visit Bohol.Yesterday, I had already filed my resignation letter. I passed it to our head. I didnโt know who my boss was, so I just gave it to the head."What's this?" I heard the confusion in my headโs voice."Resignation letter? Why so soon?" they ad

Chapter 21I woke up to the bright light shining on my face. Oh, right, we ended up sleeping in the van last night since there were no more vacancies at any of the hotels or motels we went to.The sun was already high, a clear sign it was nearing noon. My stomach growled, further proving my point. I grabbed my phone to check the time.Itโs already seven in the morning. Today is September 17. Itโs been three months since I ran away from my family. Well, itโs also our third monthsary. I couldnโt help but smile before glancing at the back seat of the van where he was still asleep.โHappy monthsary, baby,โ I whispered. I knew he couldnโt hear me since he was still asleep.โHappy monthsary too. I love you,โ he suddenly said, making my eyes widen in surprise.Wasnโt he supposed to be asleep? Or was he just pretending?โYouโre awake?โโYes, you woke me up,โ he teased, and I frowned.โJust kidding, baby,โ he said with a grin.He sat up and held my cheeks with both hands. My heart raced at wha

Chapter 22I looked out the window when the car stopped in front of a bakery. It looked more like a cafรฉ, with tables and chairs outside. It seemed they didnโt just sell bread but also showcased Boholโs delicacies.I turned to Carlew as an elderly woman waved at us, calling his name. Carlew smiled warmly and waved back.โNay, how are you?โโOh, Iโm fine! Itโs been a while since you visited us,โ the woman said cheerfully.She must be the owner of the bakery. Could she be his grandmother? But she didnโt look like it. Maybe just an acquaintance.โSorry, Nay. Iโve been busy with work, so I only managed to visit now,โ Carlew explained. The elderly woman nodded, then turned her attention to me. I bowed slightly as a gesture of respect and smiled.โIs she your wife now, hijo? Sheโs so beautiful,โ the woman said, making me blush in embarrassment.โOh, not yet, Nay, but soon,โ Carlew replied with a grin.โReally?

Chapter 23"Let's stop by the church before heading to our destination," Carlew said, and I immediately nodded.The view outside the car was beautiful. There were plenty of restaurants and scenic sights that were a feast for the eyes. It was a good decision to come here. Iโm happy with my choice because I met and got to spend time with Carlew in this place.I smiled when I felt Carlew hold my hand as he drove. A mix of happiness and excitement surged through me.Subtly, I pulled my hand away and turned to look out the window. I tried to suppress my laughter when I felt his hand rest on my thigh instead. I attempted to remove it, but he wouldnโt budge. I couldnโt hold back my laughter anymore.He really loves holding my hand or my legs."Why?" I asked, still laughing.I laughed even harder when he lightly squeezed my thigh, tickling me."Stop it!" I said between giggles.He paused for a moment but then did it again, making me laugh harder. I smacked his hand to make him stop. He laughe

Prologue "Miss Zette, wake up. The people who will prepare you will be here soon," our housemaid knocked, waking me up to convey the message. Reluctantly, I rose to take a shower. As I entered the bathroom, my reflection in the mirror revealed smudged makeup from crying the night before. I'm marrying a man I don't know? What the heck?! I could've accepted it if I at least knew him before the wedding, perhaps even had a single date. But no! It's been a year since I met that jerk. And now? I'm going to marry him. ** "Dear, get ready for dinner. Wear this dress. We have guests," Mommy said as she entered my room, holding a pink, sparkling dress. I nodded before she left. I was reviewing for tomorrow's exam. It's our finals, graduation is nearing, and I'm afraid of failing. If it happens, Mommy and Daddy will be furious. Especially if I lose my place in the honors. At around 6 PM, I changed and headed downstairs. I looked at myself in the mirror before descending the stairs. The liv

Chapter 16I woke up with swollen eyes from all the crying. I quickly turned off my phone after reading that message, fearing that number might call againโor worse, Carlew might call to explain. I was afraid that if he did, I might believe him.I know I need to hear his side, but how? How can I listen when my mind is already closed?I sluggishly got ready, finishing my routine with no energy. The moment I opened my door, Carlew was standing right outside. His eyes were red and filled with exhaustion.I immediately slammed the door shut, and tears poured out of me uncontrollably. Despite his continuous knocking, I just sat there behind the door, sobbing."Baby, open the door. Let's talk," he pleaded, his voice desperate. But instead of opening it, I stayed seated on the floor, crying even harder."Baby, please open the door," he repeated.Hearing his voice break as he started crying made me want to swing the door open and hug him tight. But I couldnโt. My anger wouldnโt let me."Leave

Chapter 15"Hi, cousin. How are you? Have you returned Zette?" Casey greeted us as we entered the unit."We're engaged," Carlew happily announced to Casey. I showed where the ring was on my hand."Whoa! That was fast, huh? Ayyyiiiiee!!"We had a bit of conversation or catch-up until Carlew eventually left."I'll visit every week, or whenever you miss me," he said before giving me a kiss."No need. It's okay, not necessarily weekly. Even twice a month is fine. I know you have a lot to take care of since you've been gone for a long time. Surely, I'll be busy too, right? Now that I have a job. So it's okay with me," I assured him. I saw him smile, and then he left.I was left alone in my room. I stared blankly for a moment after he left. I still couldn't believe that I was engaged to a man I love. It feels like I'm in a dream, and if I wake
