Chapter 11: Husband
Natigilan ako sa tanong niya. I see how his annoyed eyes turn soft and almost pleading.
“Do you really want me to leave, MJ? I thought you didn’t want me to leave since you tried to de—” He stops what he’s about to say, but I get what it was. Since I tried to delete his lifework.
And I am so guilty for doing such a thing. I don’t want to see him everyday only to be reminded of what I almost did. Guilt is eating me whole and I feel awful about it. He deserves to continue chasing his dream. I don’t want to be the cause of him regretting his choices.
Natahimik kaming dalawa sa loob ng sasakyan. Walang nagsasalita ni isa hanggang sa makarating kami ng village ng mga Salazar. Nauna akong bumaba sa kaniya at sumunod lang siya. Dala-dala ng driver ang mga maleta namin papasok sa mansyon ng parents ko.
“MJ...” I hear Dr. Ricaforter calls me.
Huminga ako nang malalim at tumigil para balingan siya. Napansin ko sobrang lapit niya sa akin kaya ag

Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 12: Meet
“How do I use this?” muling tanong sa akin ni Dr. Ricaforte habang pasakay siya sa kabayo na pinahiram ko sa kaniya.Hawak hawak niya iyong bridle ng kabayo at nakasampa na ang isang paa sa tungtungan ng saddle nito. Bumuntong hininga ako at iniwan saglit ang kabayo ko para makalapit sa kaniya.Hinawakan ko ang bridle bago nagsalita, “Sampa,” utos ko.“Okay...” mahina niyang tugon bago huminga nang malalim at sumampa sa kabayo niya.“You’ll use this bridle to control your horse. Ihahampas mo ‘to nang mahina para palakarin ang kabayo mo at malakas naman nang kaunti kapag papatakbuhin mo. Then you’ll pull it backwards to gently to make your horse stop. Do you get it?” tanong ko.Tumango siya at muling huminga nang malalim. Napangiti ako dahil mayroon pala talaga siyang mga bagay na hindi alam. I always thought he’s good at everything. Ngayon ko lang din na-realized na laking Mayn
Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 13: Lies
After that night of vising my parents, Dr. Ricaforte and I went straight back home to Manila. We didn’t talk the whole time of travel via plane. Agad akong nakatulog noon at paggising ko ay nasa airport na kami. Dr. Ricaforte woke me up but we didn’t talk after that as well. Hanggang sa makauwi ay hindi kami nag-usap na dalawa. And I don’t know if it’s because he thought I was mad at or upset with him. Wala rin naman akong sinabing dahilan nang matapos ako sa pag-iyak and he didn’t ask me anything anymore after that. Maybe he also felt that I wasn’t in the mood to say anything or to explain what I feel so instead of digging deeper into the matter, he just chose to understand and complied to what I wanted. The next nakipagkita ako kay Klaus at nalaman kong mas dumadalas ang pagkikita ng tiyuhin ko at ang secretary ni Zachariah Ricaforte. “What if he’s having an affair with Zachariah Ricaforte’s secretary?” tanong ko kay Klaus. “I also assumed t
Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 14: First
I wasn’t thinking straight when I said that, but I knew I had to so that I’d be reminded of the reason why I started all of this in the first place. I married him because I know I could use him against his father or for me to be able to find something against his father. I married him because that’s also what my parents wanted.Ang hindi ko lang talaga maintindihan, ay bakit gustong gusto siya ng mga magulang ko para sa akin. Based on the scheduled email containing their letter for me, they are really fond of Dr. Ricaforte. And I get that he can be kind at times pero right now, I don’t want to believe that because I’ve been fooled by him many times already. And everything was just lies.Hindi ako umuwi sa villa namin. Instead, I go to my parents’ house in Makati. Tinawagan ko rin ang tagapangalaga ng bahay na ‘yon at sinabihan siya na uuwi ako roon kaya naman pagkadating ko ay bukas ang mga ilaw. Nakahain na rin ang hapag at ni

“What are you doing here at this hour, Dr. Ricaforte? And how did you get inside?” My heart thumps inside my chest and I feel hot all over. But my heart remains cold and unnerving. I don’t understand why but maybe anger is swelling inside me again. “Kanina pa ako ritong mga 8 o’clock. I was waiting for you. Bukas pa ang building kanina at pinapasok ako ni Karylle sa office mo. She told me that it’s possible na bumalik ka pa rito kaya hinintay kita...” pagpapaliwanag niya. He waited for me? Since 8PM? It’s already past 11! He waited for over 3 hours! But I won’t get swayed by that! Ano naman ngayon kung ilang oras siyang naghintay? Wala akong pakialam kahit buong araw pa ‘yan! “Anong kailangan mo?” tanong ko at nilagpasan siya para makapasok ng opisina ko. I hear him follow me and closes the door behind us. Dumiretso ako sa office table ko at umupo sa swivel chair. I watch him walk towards me. Tumigil lang siya sa tapat ng table ko.
Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 16: Slut
We continued our business at home. I couldn’t recall how many times we did it but I feel sore all over my body the next day. I think I pushed myself too hard. But it wasn’t bad at all. Pleasurable and satisfying still maybe because of my need as a woman. We need not feelings and emotions for this kind of setup or at least for me. After all, it’s my mission to seduce him. Maagang umalis si Dr. Ricaforte dahil sa kaniyang trabaho. Ako naman ay nanatili lang sa bahay at hindi na pumasok dahil sobrang sakit ng katawan ko. I feel like I hiked a number of tall mountains. I just gave my secretary a heads-up that I won’t be present today because I want to at least take a day rest. I take a warm shower and bath to soothe the soreness I feel. Nang matapos ako ay medyo umayos na ang pakiramdam ko. Dr. Ricaforte also cooked my breakfast before he left. Nakahain sa hapag ang pagkain pagkababa ko. Saglit akong natulala sa niluto niyang umagahan ko at doon ko lang n
Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 17: Right
Dr. Ricaforte and I didn’t talk for a week after what happened in the restaurant with my cousin. I am mad at him and he’s mad at me, too, I guess. But I do not care because it seems that he also doesn’t care about what my cousin said or did. Ang paki niya lang ay basta mali ang ginawa ko. And I am completely aware of what I have done. But again, I’m not sorry that I did it. Mas malala pa ang sinabi niya kaysa sa ginawa ko. And she deserves what I did. Ilang araw siyang absent sa internship niya because of what happened. Pero hindi nakarating sa parents niya at kay Gil ang nangyari. And that’s because she knew perfectly well that her family is on my side. Dahil aware naman sila sa ugali ng bunso nila. At kung sasabihin niya ang nangyari ay papagalitan lang siya at pauuwiin sa Davao. I smirk as I continue my work. Pero nawala ang ngti ko nang maalalang hindi ko pa nga pala nabubuksan ang envelope na inabot sa akin ni Klaus. Nakalagay iyon sa safe vault ko sa ak
Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 18: Justice
“What do you mean by that, MJ?” Dinig na dinig ko ang sakit sa tanong niya. And as much as my heart or a part of me wants to believe that he’s indeed hurt and genuinely worried about me... I refuse to give it another thought. I won’t get swayed by him again. I will just continue to use him in order to find something useful against his killer of a father. “What are you saying?” tanong pa niya. I chuckle sarcastically before looking away from him. Hindi ko na kayang tignan siya sa mga mata. Parang mas lalong pinipiga ang puso ko dahil sa mga tingin niyang hindi ko na rin maintindihan kung totoo ba o nagkukunwari lang. “We are only married in papers, Dr. Ricaforte. Our feelings are mutual, right? We mutually dislike each other. So, what I’m saying it... hindi natin kailangan na mas higitan pa ang kung ano ang mayroon sa ‘ting dalawa ngayon...” “But, MJ...” Gulong gulo siya at hindi malaman kung ano ang sasabihin. “What about the times we spent to
Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 19: Promise
I go to my parents’house. It’s empty and I’m all alone but it calms me. Pagod akong umupo sa sofa ng salas at ipinikit ko ang mga mata ko. But as I close them, all I can remember is everything that happened a while ago. I shouted at him and I cursed at him. I was anger and devastated and I feel betrayed. Mali ba ‘ko? Valid ba ang mga ginawa at sinabi ko dahil lang sa nasasaktan ako at nangungulila sa mga magulang ko? That even after everything that I said and did, there’s a part of me that still want to go back there. To tell him that I’m sorry and that I won’t do it again nor will I say anything like that ever again. But what about me? What about my pain? Ako lang naman ang nakakaintindi sa sarili ko at sa sakit na nararamdaman ko. And it was enough for me. What changed this time? Why does it seem like I want him to understand me, too? To believe me and tell me that my feelings are valid. Pero alam ko rin naman na hindi ko maaaring hingin sa
