Vanessa did not waste time. After she heard Gian’s car leaving, she quickly wiped her tears. Even if she wiped them many times, they still kept falling. Her mind was a mess, and the pain in her heart was doubled.

She slowly stood up, holding on to the wall to help herself. She felt like she could not stand on her own. She needed something to hold. Her body felt so weak, and Gian’s sharp words cut her deeply.

She was still shaking, her knees and her whole body trembling. She felt mixed emotions, pity, sadness, and pain. But the strongest feeling now was pity for herself.

She pitied herself because until now Gian still could not forgive her, and he never gave her time to explain. Did she not deserve to be heard?

She knew what he was thinking was wrong. She was not flirting. But how could she explain if his mind was already closed?

She walked slowly down the stairs. Even though her eyes were blurred from crying, she saw Nanang Delia standing at the foot of the stairs, waiting for her.

  • Chasing the Arrogant Instructor   Chapter 30

    People’s eyes sparkled and their lips carried smiles as she walked past them. Vanessa held the flowers tightly, the ones Mae had designed for her. The word happiness was too small for what she was feeling. Even William Shakespeare would fail to capture the weight of her joy. She once thought this day would never come. She thought it would remain only a dream, only in her imagination. She thought her memory of her first wedding—one that felt more like a funeral—would never be replaced. But now, her dream of a beach wedding came true. Her dream of walking down the aisle also came true. Finally, all of it came true. Who would have guessed that in the end, it would be Gian she would marry? Who would have thought the dramatic, playful Gian would turn into a real man? Who would have thought she would get married again? They went through so many struggles, so many trials, yet here they were—still standing strong. Yes, she forced Gian in the wrong way before, but it was her apology t

  • Chasing the Arrogant Instructor   Chapter 29

    Vanessa let out a long sigh. She had tried every sleeping position she could think of that night, but sleep just wouldn’t come. It kept running away from her.Maybe she should be thankful that her cousin Sharon got stuck in Cagayan. Because of that, she had the chance to stay for a while in Gian’s small place.But isn’t that selfish? Like I’m just taking advantage…She got up from bed and opened the door leading to the terrace. Right away, the cold wind from the storm wrapped around her. It wasn’t too strong in their area, but strong enough to chill the air. She looked up at the moon, now almost hidden from sight.She felt guilty. She had run away from home again. She didn’t even understand herself sometimes. She always wanted to go against her father. Like now—her dad hated the idea of her joining the messy world of showbiz, but she disobeyed anyway. Maybe because that was what her mom did before she passed away.Vanessa wanted so badly to be an actress, to be famous. It felt like th

  • Chasing the Arrogant Instructor   Chapter 28

    Vanessa glared at her husband the second he stepped out of the bathroom, smelling fresh and looking neat. She hated that he still looked good—it only made her blood boil more.She had no choice but to let him inside earlier. Her dad told her to, and when it came to her dad, his word was always law. No arguing with that.As soon as they arrived, Manang Celia welcomed them and handed Gian a set of clothes. Vanessa rolled her eyes so hard she thought they might stay that way.She sat on the bed, laptop on her lap, while Gian dried his hair with a towel. Ugh. Even she couldn’t deny it. The man was handsome.Too handsome… handsome enough to cheat.She clicked her tongue. You really can’t trust him.Her story on screen blurred in front of her. She gave up, opened another tab, and logged in to Facebook. It had been days since she last checked her account—not that she missed it.And then Gian sat beside her. She felt his weight dip the mattress and, without even thinking, she shot him a death

    After closing the pink curtain in her room, she heard three knocks followed by the door opening.“Won’t you let Gian in?”It was Manang Celia’s voice. Vanessa didn’t look at her to answer. She didn’t want to face Gian because just hearing his name made her blood boil. His name alone was enough to raise her anger.“It’s raining hard outside, your husband might get sick,” Manang added.“Should I care? When I was in the hospital, where was he?” Vanessa answered coldly, still staring at the curtain.“Vanessa, don’t be too stubborn.”“I’m not. I’m just giving him back what he gave me—”She stopped talking when she heard the door close again.What’s my fault? Why are they all angry at me? They should be angry at Gian, not me.Even if she didn’t want to, she opened the curtain again. Outside, she saw Gian hugging himself against the strong wind and rain. He looked cold. She forced herself not to feel pity. She didn’t want to feel anything for him anymore.She didn’t want to go back to the ol

  • Chasing the Arrogant Instructor   Chapter 26

    Two days passed, and she was finally home. She heard that her brother, Jason, had gone back to America. He promised he would look for Ellena, but maybe he wasn’t brave enough to keep that promise. She felt sorry for him, but she knew he needed to learn his own lessons. Her thoughts were cut off when someone placed a cup on the table beside her laptop. “Won’t Gian come looking for you?” asked Manang Celia. Before answering, Vanessa reached for the cup. “Thank you, Manang,” she said with a small smile. She still didn’t understand why Gian had not visited her, or maybe he was just too busy with someone else. Was that woman really new? Or had she been in his life before Vanessa? Was I just something to pass the time, Gian? she thought. Maybe we shouldn’t have come back here. Since the day she left the hospital, her husband never came to see her again. “Vanessa, what really happened? Did you and Gian fight? Is that why you don’t want to go home to him?” She took a deep breat

  • Chasing the Arrogant Instructor   Chapter 25

    Vanessa looked out the open window. Her eyes talked to the leaves that the soft wind was hitting. The heavy raindrops matched her sorrow. The rain felt like a sign of her bad luck.She heard on the news that a storm was coming. It felt like the sky would cry with her. Like the clouds wanted to match every drop of her tears.She thought someone would be with her. She thought she would never be alone again. She thought she would finally be a real mother. But why did this happen? Why like this?Why did God allow her baby to be lost? Why?When will this nightmare end?Since she woke up after the operation, she didn’t say a word. She did not want to talk. She did not want to. She just wanted to stare into nothing.The nothing that matched her sadness.She knew she had not been good before. She wanted to change. But is this her payback? Is this what she gets? Does she really have to go through all this?She thought nothing could hurt more than her husband’s betrayal. But there was more. Los
