Married to a Heartless Cowboy (English)

Terrence dropped his body tiredly on the couch in his office. He just came from a meeting for his new project. At the age of twenty-nine, he was now acting as the CEO and engineer of Saavedra Construction Corporation. Many things have changed over the past few years but not his feelings for the woman he loves, Lara Alcaraz. Lara still occupies his heart even when there are plenty of women out there who willingly fall on their knees begging for his affection. His body may be unfaithful but his heart is steadfast while waiting for her return after she left eight years ago to chase her dreams of becoming a famous supermodel. Upon growing up, he realized how selfish he was for holding Lara tightly, not realizing he was already chaining her in his cage. Now, he is willing to wait for her even if it will take forever…A call from his phone had awakened his floating reverie. He frowned when he saw Therese's number, his youngest sister was the one calling him. "Hey brat..." He greeted her.

BEREAVEMENT "W—what time are you coming home later tonight,Terrence?" Corazon asked hesitantly. Terrence frowned to her question as he was walking down the stairs. "Why are you asking?" "Uhm…B—because… I was going to cook you your favorite chicken curry, it tastes better when it's freshly cooked, right?" Terrence let out a sarcastic laugh that made her confused. She didn't find anything wrong upon what she asked. "Is that really your only reason for asking me that or you just want to know where I'm going." "It's n—not like that Terrence, I just want—" "Oh, just cut the crap Corazon! You really just want to spy on me because you're desperate. Didn't you conspire with my mother just to get us married? And because of your desperation you are willing to destroy your cousin's life and career! Am I right?!" Terrence sneered and held her cheeks tightly. Little by little, her eyes start to water. Even if she wants to marry Terrence so bad, she will never destroy Lara's life. She didn't

SICKCorazon wasn't feeling well the next day but immediately jumped out of bed after she saw it was already seven in the morning. Because she was in a hurry, her vision went black and she fell on the floor but still managed to get into her feet. Terrence would starve if she didn't move and cook for him. One more thing, his anger was the last thing she wanted early in the morning.She saw Terrence's frowning face as she went outside her room which made her approach him immediately. "I—I'm sorry if I woke up a bit late today Terrence, it's just that I don't feel well," she explained and apologized."Then what do you want me to do? Should I take good care of you because you're sick?" Terrence smirked.She swallowed the lump in her throat to prevent herself from shedding tears "...it's not like that Terrence. I don't mean it—"Mean what? That you're acting like you are some kind of pathetic sick woman? For what? So that I will show mercy on you? I'm telling you again that has no effect o

She spent three days in the hospital, but during that time, Terrence never visited her. She was sad, but what else could she expect from him? Her husband wants her gone, so she shouldn't expect to see him even for a moment."Come in, Ty," she said to Tyrone when they arrived at Terrence's house."No, Corazon. I might kill your husband this time if I see him," he replied coldly.She didn't utter a word because she understood why Tyrone was like that. Her kind of relationship with Terrence wasn't a secret to him. She was just grateful that he hadn't told their parents yet because it would be a big mess if he did."Be careful going back to Mindanao, Ty," she told him as he got out of the car."Take care too, Corazon."She watched her friend's car leave before deciding to go inside. The whole house was quiet when she arrived, and Terrence's car wasn't in the garage, so he was probably at the office.She gently opened the door and frowned when she heard a rustling inside the house. Was the

"Let's talk for a while, Terrence."Terrence stopped walking out of the police station and turned to face Grandpa Herman. "Sure, Grandpa."Herman took the lead in walking and stopped at a corner where only a few people passed by. He let out a deep sigh before deciding to speak."What… Do you want to talk about Grandpa Herman?" He asked the grandfather of his friend Niccolo."I'll be straightforward, Terrence. I didn't like what happened today, and if your wife hadn't asked me to keep this incident a secret, this mess would have reached both of your parents immediately," he uttered, suppressing his anger.Terrence shook his head at what he heard. So Corazon was playing a hero to save his face from his family now? Was that what she wanted to happen? For what? So that he would thank her for her act of kindness? And did she think he would do that? In her dreams!"What if I hadn't arrived earlier? Your wife would surely be compromised by your mistress. Didn't you see this coming, Saavedra?
