Chapter 54I was really so eager to visit Dad in jail the next day. Kitang-kita ko ang pagdadalawang-isip sa mukha ni Zale nang makauwi kami sa penthouse house. He knows that I'll visit Dad today. "Ipaubaya mo na lang 'to sa mga abogado," sabi niya.Nilingon ko siya sa tamad na nakahiga sa kama.Gulong-gulo ang buhok niya dahil pagkarating namin dito kanina ay muli kaming natulog. And now he's seriously hot on my bed. Wala siyang damit pang-itaas pero nagmumukhang hubo't-hubad siya dahil natatabunan ng comforter ang pang-ibaba niya katawan.I'm almost done and he sill there on the bed."Kung ayaw mong sumama bahala ka," inis na sabi ko dahilan para unti-unti siyang bumangon."I told you, your father must be in jail but we don't know what can he still do. Nag-aalala lang ako," he reasoned out again so I rolled my eyes."May mga pulis doon, Zale. Just hurry up. Inis na inis na ako sayo!" inis na sambit ko pero lumapit pa siya sa akin para marahan na humalik sa pisngi ko. I rolled my ey
Chapter 55I'm busy in my office when Kyla went in. Hindi ko siya tinapunan ng tingin at tuloy-tuloy lang ako sa pagbabasa ng papeles pero umupo siya sa upuan sa harap ng table ko. I sighed before looking at her.She smiled like she's teasing me so I rolled my eyes."Where's your bodyguard?" tanong niya kaya muli akong napairap."He has work," I answered because Zale's fixing his investments. And he's trying to get more connections. "Oh," Kyla said. Naningkit ang mga mata ko dahil parang may ibang kahuguhan ang naging reaksyon niya."Umalis ka nga," inis na sambit ko pero ngumisi lang siya lalo."Aren't you insecure?" she asked. I glared at her but she's not affected. May gana pa siyang humalukipkip habang nakangisi sa akin."Leave," malamig at inis na sambit ko pero hindi siya natinag."He proposed to his ex. Pero sayo hindi," she said.Napalunok ako at naikuyom ko ang kamao ko dahil sa narinig. Tumawa siya dahil sa naging reaksyon ko saka nanunuyanh tumayo. "I'll go now. Don't ove
Chapter 56Hindi ko magawang alisin ang tingin ko sa suot-suot kong singsing. It's so beautiful. So elegant. Kasyang-kasya sa akin. The diamond is so huge. It's worth of millions, I'm sure.Nawala lang ang pansin ko sa singsing nang maeahang gumalaw si Zale sa tabi ko para mas lalo akong yakapin. Dahan-dahan ko siyang hinarap at nakita ko ang inaantok niyang mga mata na nakatutok sa akin. It's already nine in the morning yet we are lazy to get up.Bumangon lang kami kaninang alas sais nang sumuka ako pero pareho ulit kaming bumalik sa pagtulog. Akala ko tapos na ako sa pagsusuka tuwing umaga pero unti-unti na namang bumabalik. My OB warned me about this. Nagbabago lang ng kaunti pero nandoon pa rin. But I'm thankful that Zale's always here to assist me."You won't work?" mahinang tanong ko pero siniksik lang niya ang mukha niya sa leeg ko."Mamaya na," he murmured and his hot breath tickled me.I let him in that position as we both play each other's hand. Ilang sandali pa ay hinalika
Chapter 57Hi! This will be Zale's Pov same as the epilogue. Thank you so much for supporting Zale and Chloe's story from the start until now.***Working in Navrus Corporation is already a lot sinceI was a fresh graduate when I entered here. Maganda silang magpasahod kaya hindi na ako naghangad pang lumipat ng ibang trabaho. This is fine. I am fine in this giant company. I am lucky because I got accepted."Akala ko ba si Ma'am Kyla lang ang anak nina Sir Navrus?" I heard my office mates talking while we are in the conference hall.Ngayon daw ipapakilala ang bagong magiging Ceo ng kompanya. We heard that it's the President's daughter.I am already two years working in this company and I've seen the President a lot of times. He's cold and strict. I've also seen his wife and their daughter. They are all elegant. Tila hindi basta-basta.But today, the younger daughter will sit as the Ceo. We haven't seen her.Lahat kaming mga empleyado ay tumahimik nang bumukas ang pinto ng conference ha
EpilogueChloe Lorin Navrus, she's unreachable but I can't believe I am able to kiss and hold her right now.Gustuhin ko mang lumayo at bumalik kay Trisha nang tapusin niya ang contract ay hindi ko kaya. I tried so hard to ignore the flame that I'm feeling for Chloe but I just can't.How can she act like a snow queen after what happened between us in Cebu?I can't f*cking sleep thinking that she can ignore me. She can push me that easily. Yes, ako lang ang baliw sa aming dalawa. Chloe Lorin Navrus can shatter me in small pieces. Siya lang ang may kakayahang gawin 'to.Kung alam ko lang na ganito. Sana hindi ko pinagbigyan ang sarili ko na magpanggap na boyfriend niya. Mas lalo lang akong nabaliw sa kanya. Mas lalo lang gumulo ang utak ko.But I have this toxic side. I don't care if I feel guilty. I don't care if I hurt Trish. I don't care about anything as long as I'm with Chloe."I'm sorry," nagsisising sabi ko kay Trisha. Kita ko ang pagdaloy ng mga luha mula sa mga mata niya kaya na
Chapter 1"No," matigas na sagot ko sa sinabi ng mga magulang ko kaya kapwa silang napatigil sa pagkain at napatingin sa akin. They are discussing to arrange my marriage for god's sake.Matapang kong sinalubong ang mga mata nila. All my life I followed them. At ngayon gusto ulit nilang pangunahan ang buhay ko?"What?" inis na tanong ni Mommy. Naninibago siya na nagawa kong tumanggi ngayon. "Hindi ako magpapakasal sa lalaking hindi ko kilala," sambit ko sa madiin na boses. It's the first time I talked back. Palagi akong sunod-sunuran pero sobra na ito ngayon."Sinusuway mo ba ang gusto namin? You need to marry a man from a good family for our business! We need to expand our business more! We need a man from the same line!" sabi ni Daddy at pinalo niya ng malakas ang lamesa pero hindi ako gumalaw."Why me? Why not, Ate?" matapang na tanong ko kaya nangunot ang noo ng kapatid ko at mabilis niya akong pinagtaasan ng kilay."You, ungrateful child!" sigaw ni Mommy.Dahan-dahan akong tuman
Chapter 2I woke up the next day because of my sister's call. Ayaw ko sanang sagutin pero dahil sa inis ay sinagot ko rin. "What?" I was a little bit pissed."F*ck you, Chloe! I had no time to slap you last night! Don't drag me into your problems!" she shouted so my blood boils."Why, Kyla? Or should I call you Ate? Why don't you be productive and stop being a spoiled brat? Oh, my bad. Mom and Dad like you a lot so you can do whatever you want," I sarcastically said and she laughed evilly on the other line."Yes, I am the favourite daughter and you are the cursed one. It's your fault anyway. Live with it," she said before dropping the call. Inis kong naibato ang phone ko dahil doon saka galit na tumayo mula sa kama.Cursed one?If my brother is still alive I won't be like this. Hindi sana ako naghihirap ngayon. Hindi sana ako ang nagbubuhat sa lahat ngayon. Why are they blaming me for what happened when in fact I don't know anything back then? My parents loathed me. They are all bla
Chapter 3Nang matauhan ako ay ako rin mismo ang nagtulak sa kanya kaya naputol ang halik. After that I ran towards the exit."That won't happen again!" sigaw ko nang makalabas kami.That was a mistake!"I said I am engaged—""F*ck that! Kalimutan mo iyong nangyari kanina! Let's stick to our contract," I said and I am slowly losing my cool so I breathed hard before closing my eyes a bit.Nang medyo makalma ko ang sarili ko ay muli ko siyang tiningnan. I found him staring at me like a hawk."Did you hear me? Wala nang halikan na magaganap," I said while glaring at him."Ikaw ang lumabag sa kontratang ginawa mo, Ma'am," mahinang sabi niya kaya umirap ako.I am sure Kyla saw that. That's already enough for now. My main goal is to introduce him to my parents. And of course, they must like him.Dahil sa naisip ay bigla ko siyang tiningnan mula ulo hanggang paa. If it's the looks then he can literally pass."How much money do you have on your account?" I asked."Why? Importante ba 'yon?" ba
