I couldn't do anything when mommy asked me to enter my pin code. I just silently watched as she transferred five million pesos to her online banking app so easily, even though I really wanted to stop her. Right after that, she threw my phone at me, and because I didn't expect her to do that, I didn't catch it, so it fell to the floor.

Instead of picking it up, I just chose to stop mom from leaving. I grabbed her by the arm, making sure that she wouldn't get hurt from my holding her, and when she turned to face me, she had a very angry expression on her face again.

"Let go of me!" She shouted as she struggled, but I didn't follow her. I just stared at her after I tightened my grip on her by still being careful not to hurt her from it.

Our faces are now closer to each other than earlier. I don't know if what I'm noticing is correct, it's like she suddenly looks older in my eyes. I can remember that she didn't look like this the last time I saw her. Apart from that, I also noticed that s

  • Contract Marriage with the Heartless Billionaire   Chapter 51: Five Million

    Stefano immediately noticed my sudden silence, that's why I felt him peeping at me from his position. Before he could ask me what the problem was, his phone vibrated again in my hand. We suddenly looked there together. We saw that Mildred was calling again.I took a deep breath. I was just about to hand him his phone so he could answer the call when he suddenly pressed the answer button as well as the loud speaker and then hugged me again. It looks like he really has no intention of taking his phone from me as he pressed himself even more against me as if he was a baby.Neither Stefano nor I spoke right after he pressed the answer button. We didn't hear anything from the other line for a few seconds first before we finally heard Mildred's voice. It seemed like she was waiting for us to speak first but it didn't happen so she had no choice but to be the first one to speak."S-Stefano?" There was a hint of fear and nervousness from her voice."What do you want?" Stefano asked lazily."W

    Right after I was discharged from the hospital, the days passed even faster until I realized that it was already my graduation day. I quickly ran to Stefano as fast as I could when the program ended, not minding even though I was wearing heels, and many people were already looking at me.Stefano was sitting in a fairly far part, that's why I ran for a few minutes before I reached where he was. As I ran, the corners of my eyes were getting wet, and when Stefano greeted me with a hug while a smile appeared on his lips, that's when my tears started to flow."Congratulations, baby! You made it! I'm so proud of you!" He whispered near my ear and hugged me even tighter, which made me cry even more against his neck.I've wanted to hear those words from my own family for a long time now. I thought that I would finally hear those words from them, especially after I followed what mommy wanted me to do, but I was wrong because they all chose something else over attending one of the special event

  • Contract Marriage with the Heartless Billionaire   Chapter 49: Hospital

    I felt my body hit the wall. I groaned in pain because the impact was so strong as well as my fall and my head hitting the floor. I couldn't stop myself from crying anymore because my waist that hit the edge of the marble countertop earlier when mommy pushed me also started to throb.I tried to stand up, but I couldn't. My head just hurts worse. It also feels like my body has suddenly become heavy. I don't know where the broken glass scattered on the floor that I was seeing right now came from.Before my eyes could even find Stefano in the entire kitchen, I felt something placed on my forehead and I suddenly felt my body being gently lifted by someone, and when I looked to see who it was, I saw Stefano. I don't know why, but the moment I saw him, I felt myself gradually calm down."Stay awake, baby, please. Don't close your eyes..." I don't know if I'm right in noticing some nervousness in his voice when he said those words, and because of that, I really resisted the heaviness of my e

    Before either of us, Mommy or I, could speak to explain, Stefano quickly came over to help me stand up. Instead of screaming in pain because Stefano chose to hold me from my waist so he could help me stand up, I just chose to bite my lower lip to hide the pain as I'm also hoping that somehow the pain I'm feeling will be reduced, but the pain got worse as I slowly stood up. I also held back my tears until I was finally able to stand up even though I really wanted to scream already.Stefano didn't let go of me. He just kept holding on to me. We were now facing each other, and because I couldn't look him straight in the eye, he tried to catch my eyes.Only then did he manage to catch my eye when he gently grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him.A series of curses came out of my mind right after he did that, especially when he brought his face closer to mine. It's like he's reading something from my eyes, the way he's looking at me right now.I just let him do what he wants while I

    Even though I was so nervous, I still managed to approach mom and kiss her on the cheek without my hands shaking. Stefano did the same and even after he finished greeting my mom, he didn't let go of my hand. I didn't realize that because of the fear and nervousness I was feeling, my grip on Stefano had tightened.Stefano seemed to notice that because I immediately felt his thumb caress the back of my hand and I don't know why, as he did that, I felt like I was slowly calming down. I could clearly see mommy's gaze lingering on Stefano and I's holding hands first before she returned her gaze to us and before she spoke."It was so nice seeing both of you getting along with each other," she started while she alternately looked at us as her fake smile remained on her lips. It seems like she really waited a long time for us to arrive because it seems like her irritation is winning out, that's why she's smiling at us like this right now which made me even more worried about what exactly is h
