Chapter 31: Man
“How are you feeling?” Dr. Ricaforte asks me the moment I calm down.
“Much better than a while ago,” I answer. He nods at my answer.
“You could have just called my number, you know?” he whispers but I hear it.
“You were probably busy and Varez just happened to be the one that came in my mind. I was panicking, Zac...” I reason out.
“I know. I’m sorry,” aniya. “I just... wanted to at least be the same person again who’d find you in that state. Not that I want you to be in such a state, MJ...” Humalakhak ako nang mahina kaya napaangat ang tingin niya sa akin.
He’s trying so hard to explain that I find it a bit funny. “I get what you mean, Zachary,” sabi ko habang tumatawa pa rin nang mahina.
“This isn’t a laughing matter, MJ,” seryoso niyang tugon sa akin.
Tinikom ko ang bibig ko at pinigilan ang pagtawa. Tumango ako. “I’m sorry,” I say.
Umiling siya at muli akong hinigit nang marahan palapit sa kaniya. “I’m sorry I wasn’t

“Jade, this is Lucian Smith. My twin brother. Lucian, you know her, right? She’s Zachary’s wife... Marthania Jade Louise,” pagpapakilala ni Lucius sa amin ng kambal niya. I thought I was just having a panic attack. Akala ko namamalik-mata lang ako na may dalawa akong Lucius na nakikita pero a pair of twins pala ang dalawa. Ngayon ko lang din napansin na may pagkakaiba ang hugis ng mukha niya at sa istilo ng kanilang buhok. Lucius has more of an angelic face, while Lucian—his twin—has a feature in his face that is more defined. Lucian looks mature while Lucius looks innocent. That’s probably why I also saw a bit of a resemblance between Zachary and Lucius. They both have angelic faces. They both look innocent. “It’s nice to finally meet you, Jade...” marahan pero may riing sambit ni Lucian. I uneasily smile at him. “Likewise,” tugon ko. “They just decided to visit me here, Jade,” si Varez. “Sila ang tinutukoy kong imi-meet ko rin. Kakarating la
Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 33: Stalker
Tulala akong sa living room. Zachary is busy washing the dishes. Kakatapos lang namin kumain. I can’t stop thinking about the twins. Lucian and Lucius’s parents died. Zachary continued telling me that their parents also died from a plane crash. It’s almost the same as my parents’ death. The only difference was that... their bodies were never found. Nag-crash ang plane sa karagatan at never nang nahanap ang katawan ng mga magulang nila. Of course, they don’t know if it’s an actual accident or someone was behind it as well just like in my case. Walang ibang ebidensya na may tao sa likod noon dahil hindi na-retrieve ang katawan ng mga magulang nila. I feel bad for them. I see myself in them. Maybe that’s why they were both so nice to me. They probably heard what happened to my parents and also feel bad for me. I just hope that they are no longer having a hard time because of what happened... unlike me. Because they don’t deserve the pain. I just don’t kn
Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 34: Plan
“Someone is stalking me for the past weeks or months or I don’t know where it started! He has a number of stolen shots of me, my Tita Cecil, and my cousin, inside our houses. Now he has Manang Cinda! Klaus, please...” pagmamakaawa ko kay Klaus nang magkita kami. “Ms. Salazar, please calm down for now. I’ll help you. I’ll help you again, just... calm down, alright?” “I can’t calm down. I’m scared. I can’t do this alone. I don’t know who to trust anymore. So, please. Do something, Klaus...” I fall on my knees as I start crying. Hindi ako tumuloy sa condo dahil agad akong nakipagkita kay Klaus after ng tawag ko sa kaniya. I had no choice. I need his help again. I still don’t know if I can fully trust him again, but I will take the risk one more time. I am just this desperate for help. “I am continuing the investigation, Ms. Salazar. Even after our partnership ended, I still swore that I will continue helping you until I cover the truth. I promised Gillia
Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 35: Cheating
I remain standing near the door where Dr. Ricaforte went out. He was cold and emotionless. Hindi ako makagalaw dahil sa takot at sakit na nararamdaman ko dala ng kung paano niya na lang ako tignan kanina. It’s as if he really had had enough. Sinubukan ko iyong tanggalin sa isipan ko hanggang sa makarating ako sa meeting place namin ni Klaus. Instead of hurting myself by thinking about Zachary’s anger towards me, I just tried to focus on our plans. Sa ngayon, kailangan ko munang malaman kung ano ang kalagayan ni Manang Cinda. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ako tinatawagan ulit ng stalker na ‘yon. While Klaus is doing his best to keep an eye on Tita Cecil and Aeliares with his men. I also asked him to tell Gil some minor details about their security cameras in their house. That they should replace the cameras or perhaps remove them for now. I just hope that Gil won’t get suspicious about it. But it’s also possible given that he already had his suspicions befor
Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 36: Fault
Magdamag akong umiyak sa k’warto ko pagkauwing pagkauwi ko. Wala akong oras para rito pero ito ako ngayon, iyak nang iyak dahil sa bwisit na lalaking ‘yon. Kung mahal na mahal niya naman pala si Dr. Therese, ay sana hindi na siya pumayag na magpakasal sa akin! Wala rin naman akong balak na pilitin siya noon dahil mas makakabuti ‘yon dahil ayaw ko naman sa kaniya noong una. Ngayon... ewan ko na. I love him too much and I am starting to get annoyed by this fact. Dahil ang hirap hirap niyang hindian. Dahil nagsisimula na akong umasa at maging makasarili. Kahit alam kong hindi naman siya masaya sa akin. Sakit ng ulo lang ang dulot ko. I am not a wife material and he has been in love with someone else for all those years. Na nakakaya niyang hindi pansinin ang insulto ng babaeng ‘yon sa mama ko at... sa akin, dahil lang sa may sakit siya. Wala naman dapat akong pakialam kung maniwala siya sa sinabi ni Dr. Therese, pero nakakainis dahil nasasaktan ako ngayon. Hindi
Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 37: Believe
“I’m sorry for everything I said,” tahimik niyang sambit habang hinahaplos nang marahan ang buhok ko. Nakayakap pa rin ako sa kaniya at hindi siya bumibitaw. Every time I would try to move away from him, he would pull me back in embrace me more and tighter. It’s as if he doesn’t want to let me go. Pero aalis ako. I have decided that I will leave for now. I need to escape for now. I need to prioritize my well-being and my mental health... and staying here... won’t help me achieve that. Staying here only caused me pain. It caused me to lose someone. I need to leave. Nanatili akong tahimik na nakahilig sa dibdib niya dahil ayaw niya akong pakawalan. Mas lalo akong mahihirapan nito umalis. Ayaw kong umasa pero sa mga ginagawa niya, sa ilang mga sinasabi niya... parang ayos lang na umasa ako... I need to remind myself that he’s in love with someone else. “I’m sorry... that Reese insulted your mother...” I shift on my position when he said t
Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 38: Stay
Nagising ako na wala na si Dr. Ricaforte sa tabi ko. I was already in my bedroom. May iniwan siyang note doon na need niya nang umalis kasi may duty pa siya but he cooked me breakfast. It was a sweet gesture and we had a great night, but I couldn’t even lift my lips to smile a bit. Instead, I can feel my heart aching. Maybe because I still can’t stay here anymore. At least for now. I want to be away for a while. At hindi ko pa nasasabi sa kaniya. Hindi ko pa alam kung ano ang idadahilan ko sa pag-alis para lang mapapayag siya. Knowing him, he wouldn’t allow me to go unless it’s really important and if my reason is valid and... true. It’s hard to lie to someone you love. But it’s harder to stay here when all I could feel and experience are pain, heartaches, and loss. I know that it’s best to stay away from him, from them... from everything. Tinapos ko ang mga kailangan kong gawin para sa araw na ‘yon. Nag-impake ako ng mga damit at gamit ko. The rest o
Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 39: Trash
“I’m... sorry,” sambit ko at tinanggal ang hawak niya sa kamay ko. Inangat niya ang mukha niya at tinignan ako. Nagmamakaawa ang mga mata niya. Why is he making me hope? This is so unfair. Mas lalong ayaw kong mag-stay rito dahil baka hindi ko na talaga mapigilan ang sarili ko at umasa na... na baka mahal niya rin ako. Even though, it’s as clear as the sun that he’s in love with someone else. MJ, he’s in love with someone else. I repeat it to myself to remind me of my place. Wala ako sa lugar para umasa. “I can’t stay here. I’m sorry, Dr. Ricaforte...” paglilinaw ko. He looks like he’s about to cry. Parang tambol na hinahataw ang puso ko at para rin itong pinipiga sa sobrang sakit. It’s making me hard to breathe. Ayaw kong ipahalata sa kaniya na nasasaktan ko. He shouldn’t know. He must not find out that I am in love with him. “Flight ko na bukas. My grandfather already sent me my ticket. I can’t defy him, Dr. Ricaforte. He ne
