My Billionaire Fiancè Who Tainted My Dignity

The day I had waited years for, had finally come. My fiancé, Dylan, would finally become my husband.

‎

‎"I waited for this very day, kaya deserve ko ang magarang bestida. Magiging Mrs. Lee na rin ako sa wakas!" saad ko sa sarili habang nakatitig sa salamin.

‎

‎I went to my closet and grabbed the box my mom had given me since I was a child. Inside it, was an embroidered dress my mother personally handcrafted. On the upper back, it had my initial name on it  C. W..

‎

‎Habang pinupunasan ko ang alikabok sa ibabaw ng kahon, naalala ko kung paano ako inispoiled ni mom and dad when I was young. My closet were full of branded clothes.

‎

‎Excited kong binuksan ang kahon at isinuot ang bestidang kasing kulay ng creamy white coffee. It was a tight-bodice kind of dress and laced on top, kaya't nahirapan akong i-lock ang likorang bahagi.

‎

‎“Omg! Ang elegante nga ng damit, ang hirap hirap naman suotin. Maryosep! “ pabiro kong sinabi na may halong inis.

‎

‎Maya-maya, nanlaki ang  mga mata ko at uminit ang  katawang lupa nang may naramdaman akong dalawang kamay sa likorang bahagi ng baywang ko.

‎

‎"Love, ano ba. " patawa kong sinabi.

‎

‎He leaned in closer behind me at ramdam ko ang bawat hininga niya. He leaned closer and closer until  his nose and lips almost touch my skin. Hindi ko ma- control ang init ng aking katawan, so I leaned back. I closed my eyes and dwelled in his warmth.

‎

‎"Aheeem” he fake-coughed to break the tension between us.

‎

‎I was surprised, kaya lumingon ako. Laking gulat ng aking mga mata dahil hindi pala si Dylan Lee ang nasa likoran ko.

‎

‎"Omyghad! “ Agad akong pumawala sa mga bisig niya.

‎

‎“You! Pervert!?" pasigaw kong sinabi na may halong pang-aakusa.

‎

‎Tinakpan niya nang mahigpit ang bibig ko para hindi ako makasigaw.

‎

‎Nagkatitigan kami sa mga mata, at bigla kong naalala.

‎

‎"Sazchi!" "Cimene!" sabay naming binigkas ang pangalan ng isa’t isa. Nanlaki ang aming mga bata habang nakabuka ang bibig.

‎

‎"I’m sorry. I was walking in the hallway. Narinig ko ang nanlulumo mong boses. I thought you needed some help. " paliwanag niya sa mahinahong boses.

‎

‎"What a perfect timing, huh?” saad ko habang tinataasan siya ng kilay.

‎

‎"You better go, or, else…”  I threatened him while trying to spare my dignity.

‎

‎"Or else what?” pabiro niyang tinanong.

‎

‎“Sazchiiii, don’t make any more fuss! Leave, now!” pabalang kong sinabi.

‎

‎“Relax.” He said while making face.

‎

‎”Lakarin mo lang straight yung hallway, doon mo makikita ang function hall?"  masungit kong sinabi kay Sazchi.

‎

‎“I haven’t tied your lace yet, want me to do it before I go?” he said as an excuse to stay longer.

‎

‎“Fine!” pabalang kong sinagot. He hurriedly tied the lace at the back of my dress.

‎

‎“Tapos na po. “ pabulong niyang sinabi sa likoran ko and he walked out politely.

‎

‎“Final touch nalang ako sa mukha ko and I'm good to go.” wika ko sa sarili.

‎

‎Maya’t maya nakarinig ako ng mga bisita. Kaya lumbabas ako ng kwarto para hanapin si Dylan.

‎

‎Then, a woman my age passed by— matangkad, morena, makulot ang buhok, makinis, malaki ang dibdib at higit sa lahat, siya yung tipo ng babae na lilingunin ng lahat.

‎

‎She must be Victoria, from New York– the person Dylan bragged about. "

‎

‎I went to manong driver and asked “Manong, have you seen Dylan?” I frowned. “Paumanhin po, ngunit hindi ko po alam.” Saad ni manong driver.

‎

‎I went to the function hall. It was crowded with many guests. My restless eyes wouldn’t stop looking for Dylan.

‎

‎I grabbed my phone and dialed his number.

‎

‎”Hello, Love. Nasaan ka na? Everyone is here na. Our guests are looking for you.” Pero bigla nalang nag toot-toot ang phone niya.

‎

‎Tinanong ko ang parents ni Dylan, but her mom, Lena, reassured me he would be here anytime  soon.

‎

‎Lumapit siya sa akin and whispered to my ears. “Why not grab us some wine?" demanding niyang sinabi.

‎

‎“Yes, sure… mom. I mean, Lena. “I stuttered. Hindi ko kasi alam paano siya tawagin.

‎

‎“Don’t call me mom, yet." naiinis niyang sinabi.

‎

‎Ramdam ko ang hatred sa puso ni Lena. Sa simula palang, mabigat na ang loob niya sa akin.

‎

‎Tumango ako at umalis papuntang kusina. Habang binubuksan ko ang sliding door ng mga mamahaling wine, malakas na ungol ng babae ang bumungad sa akin.

‎

‎I ignored it once. Pero palakas ng palakas ang tunog. I went in to check.

‎

‎On the floor, I saw a red underwear laid flat, a hanging bra on the knob and a black suit by the front door.

‎

‎My heart was pounding hard and I was shaking so badly. Pamilyar sa mga mata ko ang blacksuit sa sahig.

‎

‎"I ironed the suit lately, it must be Dylan’s. " Unti unti akong lumapit sa p***o. I twisted the doorknob and gently opened it.

‎

‎Then, I saw Victoria.

‎

‎She was pinned against the shelves, undressed. Nakadiin ang malaki niyang dibdib sa kaniya habang  naghahalikan nang masinsinan.

‎

‎A familiar posture of man —matangkad na nakatayo patalikod, bakat ang mga muscles taas hanggang sa ibaba, at mahabang itim na buhok abot hanggang balikat.

‎

‎"Babe, what if she finds out?" tanong ni Victoria na may pang-aakit.

‎

‎“I'm not done with her, yet. If not because of her grainy brain I wouldn't be wasting my time with her. " pandidiri niyang sinabi habang hinahalikan si Victoria sa leeg.

‎

‎He turned to his back and saw my face. His jaw dropped.

‎

‎“Cimene?” nataranta niyang sinabi while covering Victoria from behind.

‎

‎“Dylan, paano mo nagawa sa akin 'to? Sa amin ng baby mo!?” paawa kong tinanong.

‎

‎“I can explain. Wait, what did you say? A baby? Buntis ka?”  tanong ni Dylan na may halong pagaalinlangan.

‎

‎Victoria broke the conversation,

‎

‎“Babe, don’t listen to her. She’s just making things up so you would stick with her. “ saad niya while secretly spitting on me.

‎

‎"Walang hiya ka! “I got up from the floor. I was about to give her a slap when Dylan’s hand stopped me.

‎

‎"How dare you hit her?” galit niyang sinabi and was about to throw his fist.

‎

‎“Dylan, stop! Yourte hurting me. We can still fix this, right?" I kneeled down begging.

‎

‎But his temper took over, he clenched his fist and threw it to my face. Sinuntok niya ako sa mukha.

‎

‎Boom!

‎

‎Isang malakas na tunog ang umalingawngaw sa kusina. Bumagsak ako, at dumanak ang aking dugo sa sahig.
