Winston's POV

There were very few things capable of disrupting my routine. Unexpected business losses, acrisis inside the company, or an emergency board meeting. Those were the kinds of things that usually occupied my thoughts.

Not a woman who couldn't stop stepping on my shoes.

I loosened my necktie as I entered my study, closing the door behind me with a quiet click. The mansion had already settled into its usual silence.

Somewhere downstairs, I could hear the faint clinking of dishes as the

  • My Promdi Wife   Special Chapter

    Windy's POV Hindi ko alam kung nakatulog ba talaga ako kagabi. Pakiramdam ko kasi, ipinikit ko lang ang mga mata ko tapos bigla na lang akong ginising ng mahinang katok sa p***o. "Ma'am?" Mahinang boses ni Aling Rosa iyon. "Good morning po." Napamulat ako ng mga mata. Sandali akong napatitig sa kisame ng kwartong matagal-tagal ko na ring tinawag na akin. Ang parehong kwartong dati ay parang pansamantalang tutuluyan ko lang habang hinihintay na matapos ang kasunduang ipinataw ng huling habilin ni Don Ricardo. Ngayon, ito na ang huling umaga ko rito bilang Windy Guanzon. Hindi ko namalayang napangiti ako. "Sige po, Manang. Gising na ako." Pagkasabi ko noon ay dahan-dahan akong bumangon. Pagkabukas ko ng p***o ay bumungad agad sa akin ang malapad na ngiti ni Aling Rosa. Suot na nito ang magandang Filipiniana na ipinatahi ni Winston para sa lahat ng staff ng mansion. "Naku, Ma'am..." Napahawak siya sa dibdib niya habang nakangiti. "Ito na talaga ang araw." Napatawa ako. "Opo."

  • My Promdi Wife   Chapter 55: A Price I'm No Longer Willing to Pay

    Winston's POVThere was a quote my grandfather repeated throughout my childhood."The most expensive mistakes are the ones you realize too late."Back then, I thought he was talking about business. Failed investments, poor negotiations, and bad decisions.Tonight, for the first time I understood what he truly meant.~I couldn't stop thinking about what Windy had said."Kapag tapos na ang lahat... babalik na lang ako sa Batangas."She had said it so casually. So naturally. As though leaving was already decided. As though she had never planned to stay.The gala ended nearly an hour later. Guests continued thanking us before leaving one by one. I answered every handshake. Every congratulation. Every farewell. But I couldn't remember a single conversation because my mind was somewhere else.The drive back to the mansion was unusually quiet. Windy sat beside me, looking out the window. She smiled whenever she caught me looking. The same warm smile. Yet, it felt different now. Like someone

  • My Promdi Wife   Chapter 54: "...ano'ng plano mo?"

    Winston's POVI had spent years learning how to read people. A slight change in posture. A brief pause before answering. The way someone's eyes moved during a negotiation. Most people revealed more than they intended.Isabelle was no exception. She wasn't at the gala because of charity. She wasn't there to congratulate me. She wanted something.The only question was...What?The auction had just ended when Benjamin approached me."Sir."I turned toward him."Miss Isabelle Reyes is asking if she could have a few minutes of your time."I looked across the ballroom. She was standing near the terrace doors, patiently waiting. I glanced in Windy's direction. She was laughing with Veronica and one of the foundation's scholars.Good. She was enjoying herself."I'll be back."I said quietly before walking toward the terrace.The cool evening air greeted me the moment I stepped outside. The sounds of the gala became distant behind the closed glass doors. Isabelle stood near the railing, lookin

  • My Promdi Wife   Chapter 53: Sold

    Winston's POVThere were people you expected to see again. Business rivals, former colleagues, and old acquaintances. Then there were people you were certain had already become part of the past.Isabelle Reyes belonged to the second category.Or at least, I thought she did.For a brief moment, the ballroom disappeared, the conversations, and the music. Even the hundreds of guests inside the hall. All I saw was the woman standing at the entrance.She looked exactly the way I remembered, elegant, composed, and confident. Nothing about her had changed. Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for me."Winston." Benjamin's voice quietly brought me back. "The guests are waiting."I blinked, right. The speech. I looked away from the entrance and forced myself to focus on the podium."Ladies and gentlemen..." I continued my opening remarks as though nothing had happened.Years of experience made it easy to hide emotion. No one noticed. At least, that was what I believed.~The applause echoe

  • My Promdi Wife   Chapter 52: The Former F

    Winston's POVThere was something ironic about charity galas. People arrived wearing clothes worth millions. They donated impressive amounts.They smiled for the cameras. Then went home believing they had changed the world. My grandfather used to attend every single one. Not because he enjoyed them. But because he believed influence carried responsibility.I never questioned that. I simply inherited the obligation.Tonight, for the first time, I wasn't thinking about the event. I was thinking about the woman standing in the room next to mine.I adjusted the cuff of my tuxedo before checking my watch. Seven o'clock and we needed to leave.A soft knock came from the door."Sir." Benjamin stepped inside. "The car is ready."I nodded. "Is Windy ready?""I believe Miss Veronica is helping her with the finishing touches.""Good." I reached for my coat then stopped. "Benjamin.""Yes, Sir?"He looked at me expectantly. After a brief pause, I asked,"Do you think she'll be nervous?"A smile sl

  • My Promdi Wife   Chapter 51: The Decision

    Winston's POVI barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the same three things. My grandfather's letter, his journals, and that photograph.For years, I believed I knew every important chapter of his life. Apparently, I didn't.The next morning, I arrived at the office before everyone else. The building was unusually quiet. No executives, no assistants, and no meetings. Just me.I placed my grandfather's journals on my desk one last time before closing them. There was only one person left who might know the whole story. I picked up my office phone."Benjamin.""Yes, Sir?""I need the contact information of Attorney Salvador."A brief silence followed. "The former family lawyer?""Yes.""I'll arrange it immediately."Less than an hour later, the elderly lawyer walked into my office. Attorney Salvador had worked with my grandfather for more than thirty years before retiring.His hair had completely turned white. His posture wasn't as straight as I remembered. But his eyes remain
