Pagdating ko sa condo, pakiramdam ko parang buong araw akong sumabak sa emotional battlefield na walang pahinga, dahil mula sa awkward confrontation sa ex-fiancé ko hanggang sa bigat ng paghingi ng tawad ng parents niya, parang na-drain ang social battery ko kahit wala naman akong ginawa kundi tumayo, magsalita ng maayos, at pigilan ang sarili ko na hindi maging sarcastic sa harap ng matatanda.

Pagbukas ko ng pinto, agad akong sinalubong ng amoy ng instant ramen at fried chicken, at syempre, an

  • I Am the CEO's Contracted Secretary (SPG)   Chapter EIGHTY TWO

    The hospital room remained chaotic long after Dera woke up, because once the initial shock and relief settled slightly, everyone suddenly seemed to remember all at once how terrified they had been for the past several days, and instead of becoming calm normal human beings about it, they all processed their emotions in the loudest and most emotionally unstable ways possible.Dion refused to stop clinging to Dera’s arm.Deya cried every five minutes even while smiling.Alexion kept pretending he was composed while secretly wiping his eyes whenever nobody looked directly at him.Lora somehow managed to cry and complain simultaneously.And Alex?Alex looked like a man who had survived the apocalypse only to realize afterward that he still had no idea how to breathe properly again.He remained close to Dera constantly, almost unconsciously hovering beside her bed like his entire nervous system still refused to believe she would stay alive unless he physically stayed near her, and every sin

    For one terrifying second after Dera opened her eyes, nobody moved.Not Alex.Not the nurses rushing into the room.Not even Lora, who had spent the last several days talking nonstop like silence itself offended her personally.Because after so many sleepless nights, after too many moments of hope ending in disappointment, everyone had become afraid of believing too quickly, afraid that this would disappear the moment they reached for it.Alex stared at Dera like a man witnessing a miracle he no longer thought he deserved to see.Her eyes were still weak and unfocused from the coma, her breathing uneven, her body exhausted beyond imagination, but she was awake.Alive.Looking back at him.“...Alex?”Her voice came out barely above a whisper, rough and fragile from days of silence, but the moment Alex heard it, something inside him completely broke apart.“Baby…”The word escaped him like a prayer.His trembling hands immediately cupped her face carefully as tears filled his eyes so fa

    At first, there was only darkness. Not the frightening kind. Not cold. Not painful. Just endless silence, soft and distant, like floating underwater while hearing the world from far away, and no matter how hard I tried to move, my body refused to respond, as if something invisible kept pulling me deeper into a place between sleeping and waking. I could hear voices sometimes. Familiar voices. Lora’s loud complaining. Alex’s trembling whispers. The soft cries of my children. But they all sounded so far away, like echoes drifting through heavy fog that I could never fully reach. And then suddenly a warmth feeling a familiar warmth. The kind that made my chest ache before I even opened my eyes. When I finally looked up, I found myself standing beneath a sky painted in soft gold and pale orange, the wind moving gently around me while flower petals drifted slowly through the air, and for a few seconds, I simply stood there confused because everything felt too peaceful compared to t

  • I Am the CEO's Contracted Secretary (SPG)   Chapter SEVEN NINE

    The hospital had become a strange second home for everyone connected to Dera, a place filled with endless waiting rooms, sleepless nights, cold coffee, silent prayers, and the constant fear that one wrong sentence from a doctor could destroy what little hope they were desperately holding onto, and while the younger ones tried to survive the situation through sarcasm, arguments, or distraction, the mothers carried their pain differently quietly, heavily, and alone.Dera’s mother looked older now.Not because of time.But because grief had a way of aging people faster than years ever could.That afternoon, she sat alone inside the small hospital chapel with trembling hands clasped tightly together, staring blankly at the dim light in front of her while tears silently rolled down her cheeks one after another, because no matter how much she tried to stay strong for her daughter, for the children, for everyone around her she was still just a mother watching her child suffer again and again

    The moment Dera’s fingers moved, the entire hospital room erupted into chaos so quickly that even the nurses outside became startled by the sudden shouting, because after days of silence, after endless hours of waiting and praying and crying, even the smallest movement felt like a miracle nobody dared hope for anymore.“Doctor!” Alex shouted immediately, his chair nearly falling backward as he stood up too fast, his trembling hands still holding onto Dera’s weak fingers like he was terrified the movement would disappear if he let go.Within seconds, doctors and nurses rushed into the room while everyone else stepped back anxiously, watching every tiny reaction from Dera as though their entire world depended on it.Because it did.The doctor carefully checked the monitors before turning toward Alex and the others with a calmer expression than they had seen in days.“It’s a good sign,” the doctor explained, nodding slightly, “very good, actually… patients in comas sometimes respond to f

    The hospital room was too quiet.Not the peaceful kind of quiet, but the kind that suffocated everyone inside it the kind that made every sound feel heavier, every breath harder, every second painfully longer because despite the steady beeping of the machines surrounding Dera’s bed, despite the doctors saying she was alive, the truth remained cruelly simple.She still hadn’t opened her eyes.Three days.Three painfully long days had passed since the incident at the facility, and not once had Dera moved, not once had she spoken, not once had she reacted to anything around her, leaving everyone trapped in a nightmare they could not wake up from.Alex looked worse with each passing hour.The once intimidating man who used to terrify entire organizations now sat beside a hospital bed like a broken soul barely holding himself together, his clothes wrinkled, his eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep, his hands trembling every time he touched Dera like he was terrified she would disappear if he

  • I Am the CEO's Contracted Secretary (SPG)   Chapter THIRTY SIX

    Hindi ko inaasahan na babalik agad si Alexander sa Pilipinas, lalo na’t malinaw na sinabi niya na may importante siyang business meeting sa Russia na hindi puwedeng ipagpaliban, pero mukhang may mga bagay talaga na kahit gaano kaimportante ay kayang talikuran kapag may mas mahalaga at sa pagkakatao

    Nagising ako kinabukasan nang dahan-dahan, yung tipong kalahati pa ng utak ko ay gusto pang matulog pero ang katawan ko naman ay nagproprotesta na parang nag-gym ako buong gabi kahit hindi naman ako nagpunta sa gym, at habang nakapikit pa ako ay naramdaman ko agad ang mabigat ngunit mainit na braso

    "Alex! Baka marininig nila tayo, kaya tumigil ka." Banta ko sakanya pero imbis na tumigil ito ay ngumisi lamang ito ng nakakainis."Good, so your so called best friend knows who where you belong while I'm fucking you." He smirked."Can I make you feel good, milaya?." His hands drift under my clothe

    Pagkalapag ng eroplano sa Ninoy Aquino International Airport ay para bang may kakaibang init na agad na yumakap sa akin, isang init na hindi lang galing sa klima ng Pilipinas kundi sa pakiramdam na sa wakas ay makakauwi na ako sa piling ng pamilya ko matapos ang mahabang araw ng biyahe kasama si Al
