"I told you already, Jill. I warned you the first time you told me about your fascination with Von that you should never expect your feelings to be reciprocated by someone who still has hang-ups for his ex."
I poured myself another whiskey and drank it all out.
"I know, Cathe. I know! But what can I do?! I'm stupid and madly in love! How can I caution myself to be out of his life when all of me is screaming for him! I love him, Cathy! I fucking love him!"
I wept and howled at the same time while thinking about the disaster that had happened
Cathe sat by my side on the floor on her room and snatched the glass away from my hand. What was supposed a visit to the newly opened spa turned out to be a crying session in her pad.
"Jill, I will tell you a secret only your mother knows."
"What is it?" I asked in a ragged voice while I put the bottle on my mouth. To hell with the glass.
"Von and I had a past. We had a relationship dur

Loving Mr. Wrong Chapter 38
I am definitely back where I began but this time, it came with another twist.I'm now imprisoned in the promise I made with my mother to work in the company. I did not have the luxury of time to cry for another day because she put me on the front line out of the blue.I'd like to think that she did it on purpose but I know she doesn't know about what happened between me and Von. I don't want to tell her at all because I'm done asking for her help. What I want is to prove to her that I can do this starting now.It's also a good thing that I'm too absorb in the work. No time to think about how hurt I am.Sometimes I get myself astonished. There are days when I would stay up until the wee of morning crying until it's impossible to close my eyes while there are days when I felt like it all happened years ago. I tried to maintain my latter's disposition but the minute I wake up in the morning to go to work, the voi

"And why? Are you hiding something from me, Jill?"I bit my lips as I uttered the two words that I hope will convince her."I'm pregnant."Her face stayed blank before I saw the slightest change. Her eyes registered pity and then anger before it settles back to her usual stoic face."Who's the father?""You know who's the father. But my unborn child will have no father if the marriage will take place.""Does Trevor know about your condition?""No. I broke off whatever we have after I found out that he went back to Sandy. But mom, everything now has changed. We will have a child so I should be the one who will walk down that aisle and not Sandy. So please, don't stop me. He has the right to know about this."I wiped the tears off my face and turned my back."It's over, Jill. By the time you get there, the ceremony is over. Stop fighting for someone who clearly doesn't want you in his life. Let him go completely."I

The full five-minute drive to the wedding is akin to a funeral march. Every second that passed is a second towards my death sentence.I'm having difficulty in breathing but I don't want it to show in front of my mother because she might stop me completely.She decided to accompany me to avoid any stupid action I might make according to her. But in my dejected and mournful state now, I don't think my mother could stop me from doing anything drastic.We entered a country club and then pulled off outside an open hall that's filled with all kinds of expensive flowers. A line of chairs covered with elegant white linen are on each side of the aisle where Von and Sandy were holding hands and staring lovingly at each other before an officiating priest.I tried to open the door to go out but my mother was quick to stop me. I looked at her begging."Mom, please. Just this once, please. Let me go out. Please."I reached for her hands and squeezed them

But she didn't. My mother didn't live enough for her to witness just how adorable and handsome my little toddler is. She didn't hold on as what I've asked her to.On the third month of my sensitive pregnancy, she died in her sleep while holding my hands.No matter how many times she has prepared me into this, I still can't accept it. Nothing could ever prepare me for this. Now I am officially an orphan. And I couldn't do something but cry and be bitter about it.My mother's funeral has been solemn with many friends and acquaintances paying their respects to my mother and condolences for me.I looked at the faces of the people I barely recognize. Who are the wolves and the vultures among them? Can I find a single friend in them?Von was also present in the service but he made sure to position several seats away from me. He didn't get to talk to me not because he didn't try but bec

After five years"Did you remind Mr. Gonzales about the contract with the Barcellos?""Yes, madam. I've sent him a message thirty minutes ago and he replied that only the finishing touches of the contract are still on the roll."She opened the glass door for me and I entered the lobby of the last floor of the building."And what do you mean by finishing touches? I remember specifically instructing you to make sure I get the contract on my desk by the end of the day.""I get that, madam. Expect it to be on your desk as you said.""Good. I expect nothing less from you, Katy. Anything for the day?"I stopped in the middle of the hallway to look for anything that might trigger my day but to my delight, nothing disturbing is on the way."Madam, Ms. Cathy called informing you about a luncheon meeting with her with the executives of the Marina quarry opera

"Trevor has been looking this way for straight ten minutes now."I arched a brow at Cathy who is giving me side glances on the other side of our table."You're still counting until now? You told me that exactly five minutes ago."I sliced my steak on the plate and chewed it."Well, I thought you might want to know. Jill, do you still have feelings for him?" Cathy sipped on her glass of wine and tapped her fingers on the table while waiting for my answer."Feelings? What kind of feelings do you mean? If you mean love, then I can confidently say that I have outgrown my feelings for him."I sliced another chunk of meat."Really? Even when he has an exact replica in your house?"I glared at her and looked around."Watch your words, Cathy!"She just laughed and called the waiter for another bottle of wine.

Trevor laughed in his seat and brushed the corner of his mouth."Fierce. I always liked that about you, Jill. How are you? We barely see each other."I picked up my knife and fork and started slicing the meat again."Don't lie. You know that you know that I have been avoiding you.""Are you? But why?"Cathy was just across us smiling widely at us."You know why. Don't make me repeat the words I've told you in that room. It might hurt again because you know that I'm right. Your marriage with Sandy is on the rocks now."Trevor did not show any sign of emotion when I said that. He just continued drinking and glancing at me."You never know. You have not been around in our circle for years now. I'm surprised that the CEO of the Buenaventura Group of Companies has still have time for gossips like this.""Well, gossips don't just come out

"That was harsh."I ignored Cathy and kept on reading the document in hand."You went below the belt last night, Jillian. You should have seen Trevor's face when you told him about Brad and Sandy. He looks defeated."I shrugged my shoulders and adjusted the frame of my glasses."That's not my problem anymore, Cathy. He barged into our beautiful night and ruined it so he should get the same feeling."She crossed her arms and stood up to transfer to the chair in front of my desk from the couch on a corner."Tell me honestly, Jill. Do you still feel something for him? I witnessed how you were crazy for him from years back. Are you really done with him or this is just your way of getting your revenge?"I smirked and shook my head. I can't believe how far her imagination had come."Cathy, I know how I was bordering to insanity during those times and I also know how that ended in a very nasty way. Trevor is not good for my overall we
