Chapter 14
Catalina took off her earpiece and placed it on the center table. Humarap siya kay Hugo na ngayon ay nakadipa habang nakaupo sa sofa nila. He took a deep breath before opening his eyes, sinalubong nito ang titig ng asawa."Tired?" He asked."You look more tired than me..."Maliit na ngumiti si Hugo kay Catalina. "Come here."Ilang saglit napatitig si Catalina sa mga kamay ni Hugo na ngayon ay nakabuka para lang salubungin siya. Catalina went close to Hugo and he immediately wrapped her hands around his waist. Pinatong ni Catalina ang isang tuhod sa sofa nang igaya siya ni Hugo sa ibabaw ng kandungan niya. Catalina sat on his lap.It's been days since the party happened. Kakauwi lang ni Hugo galing sa kumpanya at nadatnan niyang nakabestida na naman si Catalina. Hugo's hands fell to her thighs as he lifted up the cloth covering her legs."Hugo," Saway ni Catalina.Hugo grinned. "Do you know how beautifRelated chapters
Strawberries and Cigarettes Chapter 15
Chapter 15Hugo leaned on the balcony railing of their room. Tinitigan niya si Catalina habang nasa baba ito, malapit sa pool. She was holding a samurai. It was just 5 in the morning and who knows, maybe she drank strawberries again. Bumalik ang tingin ni Hugo sa hawak na tablet. He was reading the news about the Garcia Corp. They are the biggest investor in the business industry but they are also laying low. Walang nakakaalam kung sino ang may ari pero marami ang nang-aangkin.Hugo sighed. In the past few months, Catalina was handling Hugo's company. Pero natutukan niya pa rin ang Garcia Corp sa kabila ng laki noon. Isa sa mga investors ng Garcia Corp and mga Sinfuego at mga Parcon, these are the two largest architecture and engineering firms. The rest are investors that were personally close to the Garcias.Bumaba ulit ang tingin ni Hugo sa asawa. Naiiling na lang si Hugo nang sunod-sunod na gumalaw ang kamay ni Catalina para sugatan ang mannequin sa harapan nito. The mannequin was

Chapter 16Catalina looked at the mansion door, it was half open, she could see Cerxus and Savannah yelling at each other while Sabrina was trying to stop the both of them. Mariing napapikit si Catalina bago pumasok sa loob, she had an expressionless face that made her siblings look at her with fear. Napaatras si Cerxus nang makita niya ang kapatid."Ate..." Sabay-sabay nilang sabi.Huminga ng malalim si Catalina at hinagis sa harapan nila ang potfolio na puno ng reports galing kay Grace. "She's safe," Catalina said.Agad kumunot ang noo ni Cerxus. "What?""She's safe, Cerxus," ulit ni Sabrina."Alam niyong lahat?" Mapaklang tumawa si Cerxus. "So you planned this all without me? Kapatid niyo ako ah! Ate!" Tumingin siya kay Catalina. "Putangina naman!""Cerxus!" Suway ni Sabrina."Ano?! My twin is fcking missing and you all knew! Anong pinuputok nang butsi niyo kung ligtas si Grace?! What the hell made you worried if she's fcking safe?!"Isang malakas na sampal ang dumapo sa mukha ni Ce

Chapter 17Catalina was acting strange after she got out of the hospital at gulong-gulo si Hugo sa mga inaasta nito. There are time that Hugo will come home late after a hectic day in the office but Catalina doesn't even look at him! At ang mga pangyayaring 'yon ay naulit muli... ngayon."Babe," tawag ni Hugo kay Catalina.Hindi siya nilingon ng asawa. "Yes?"Nakaupo si Catalina sa pangisahang sofa habang nakatitig lang sa laptop nito. She was working from home since she never really leaves the house. Lumapit si Hugo sa kaniya at naupo sa arm-wrest. Agad na nanuot sa ilong ni Catalina ang amoy ni Hugo. Marahas niyang tinakpan ang ilong at kinuha ang laptop bago napalipat sa ibang upuan. Agad kumunot ang noo ni Hugo."Ang baho mo. Amoy babae ka," Catalina commented as if she doesn't care if Hugo cheats.Napaawang ang labi ni Hugo. "The... fck?"Hindi siya pinansin ni Catalina. Hugo quickly stood up from his seat and went upstairs to take a shower. Ina
Strawberries and Cigarettes Chapter 18
Chapter 18Catalina wrapped the black leather jacket around her body. Wala si Hugo ngayon dahil may business trip itong pinuntahan at baka magtagal raw siya ng ilang araw. Nahimasmasan naman si Catalina dahil sa inaasta niya nang mga nakaraang araw. She was acting childish around Hugo and she's blaming it on her hormones. Naupo si Catalina sa swivel chair niya at agad na inayos ang mga papel sa lamesa.Catalina couldn't visit the Garcia Corp personally, like her sisters, dahil baka pagsuspetsahan na siya ng ibang tao. So she ended up ordering her people to email her all her paperworks. Huminga siya ng malalim nang maramdaman niya ang lamig, lalong umiinit ang katawan niya ngayong nagbubuntis siya at hindi niya pa rin maamin kay Hugo.Isang katok ang nagpatigil kay Catalina sa pagbabasa ng mga papel. Sumilip si Gary mula sa labas, maliit siyang nginitian ni Catalina.Nanginig si Gary sa ngiti ni Catalina. "M-Miss, may meeting po kayo kasamaang anonymous investor.
Strawberries and Cigarettes Chapter 19
Chapter 19Maingat na napabangon si Hugo mula sa pagkakahiga. Catalina was sleeping peacefully on his chest while they were naked under the sheets. Hinagilap ni Hugo ang tumutunog na cellphone ng dalaga at nadatnan 'yon sa gilid ng mga damit na hinubad nila.Hugo groaned lightly when he saw Savannah's registered name on the screen. It's just three o'clock in the fcking morning! Pinulot niya ang telepono at sinagot ang tawag."Gabrielle..." Malalim na sagot ni Hugo."Kuya, I'm sorry. Is ate awake?"Umiling si Hugo. "No, she's really tired I think. Tulog na tulog." Sinilip ni Hugo si Catalina na nakayakap pa rin sa kaniya.Nakagat ni Savannah ang labi. "Kuya do tell her that I called when she wakes up. It's urgent."Tumango si Hugo. "Sure, what is it about?""Check one of your friends please, Sabrina is shaking so much, I've never seen her like this before."Kumunot ang noo ni Hugo. "Will do." Lang ang isinagot niya bago ibaba ni Savannah ang tawag.Napapikit ng mariin si Hugo at hinana
Strawberries and Cigarettes Chapter 20
Chapter 20Hugo drastically pulled Catalina's chair closer to him. His muscles and biceps flexed when he did that and Catalina saw it. Pero sinamaan lang siya ng tingin ni Catalina kahit na seryoso lang itong nakatitig kay Zero na tulog sa loob ng kwarto niya. Zero was so drunk and it's already ten in the morning and this drunk bstard is still dead asleep."Gisingin mo na kaya," inis na utos ni Catalina.Hugo clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Babe, bakit ka ba inis na inis sa 'kin?"Catalina knew why Hugo asked that question. Malamang, simula nang umalis sila sa yatch kaninang alas sais ay iniirapan lang niya si Hugo. And all that Hugo could do is whine about it, dahil kung sumagot man ito kay Catalina, tiyak na sa labas siya ng kwarto matutulog. Or it could be worst and Hugo might really sleep outside their house.Umirap si Catalina at hindi sinagot si Hugo. She folded her arms in front of her chest. Huminga ng malalim si Hugo at kumuha ng cigarette pack sa bulsa niya. Akmang sisindi
Strawberries and Cigarettes Chapter 21
SAC Chapter 21Inilubog ni Catalina ang mga paa sa buhangin habang inaanod ito ng mga tubig. Naramdaman niya ang marahang pagupo ni Hugo sa likuran niya at masuyo siyang niyakap."Its already late... Bakit nandito ka pa sa labas?""I'm just thinking..."Marahang humalik si Hugo sa balikat ni Catalina. "Hm? What's bothering you?"Huminga ng malalim si Catalina. "Alessandra Patricio."Dumilim ang mukha ni Hugo. "Why?" Malamig niyang tanong."What was it like to be with her?" Mahinang tanong ni Catalina."Sienna...""No... I won't judge. It's fine. I just want to know.""Let's head back, babe."Umiling si Catalina. "Hugo... Bakit mo iniiwasan?""Hindi ko iniiwasan, Catalina. It's just not that important to tell you," mariin niyang sabi at tumayo.Sinundan siya ng tingin ni Catalina. Slowly when Hugo disappeared from her sight, she curled her knees and hugged them. Sunod-
Strawberries and Cigarettes Chapter 22
Chapter 22"Are you comfortable?" Hugo asked.Umirap si Catalina sa kaniya. She's done really. Nang malaman ni Hugo ang tungkol sa pagbubuntis ni Catalina ay lagi na itong maselan sa bawat galaw niya. Naisabi na ni Catalina lahat ng gusto niyang sabihin kay Hugo. She already confessed what he wanted her to confess. At ang sabi lang naman ni Hugo ay palalagpasin niya ito sa ngayon. The next time that she'll keep secrets from him will be a disaster for them."Pwede ba Hugo? Parang ikaw 'tong buntis sa ating dalawa."Hugo sighed and sat in front of Catalina who was busy eating a bowl of strawberries. "Nag-aalala lang ako."Catalina ate the last strawberry and pouted at Hugo. "Gusto kong lumabas..."Hugo sighed. "No. Muntik ka nang makidnap, at muntik ka nang mabaril. I won't risk another day just to see you end up dying."Sinamaan siya ng tingin ni Catalina. "Kaya ko sarili ko!""Paano ang anak natin?"Nat
