Chapter 13 - The Ex-Girlfriend
"Mommy,"
I am still shocked that my mother's here. Her unexpected visit added tension in my weary emotions. First, because of Ander and all my thoughts about him and this arrangement... My feelings. Then now, she's here.
Why is she here?
Bakit may nararamdaman akong iba? Don't get me wrong. I love seeing her. I always love being with her, but her visit is slightly off. Considering her state, her supposed vacation...the time.
At nasaktuhan pa na nag-aaway kami ni Ander... at nakainom pa ako!
Ander gently held my elbow, urging me to greet my mother. I sighed and went to her.
Niyakap ko ang ina. Sa likuran niya ay napako ang mga tingin ko. Naroon ang kanyang mga bagahe. Ibig sabihin ba ay hindi siya tumuloy ng Paris?
"What are you doing here, Mommy?"
"Did you drink?"
"We did, Tita." ani Ander.
I glanced at him. Hindi ko kailangan na iligtas niya ako rito. Alam naman n

The Billionaire's Doll Chapter 14 - Found
Chapter 14 - FoundApparently, Serena — Ander's ex-girlfriend and Ander's parents are staying for a longer period in Manila. Ander insisted that they must stay in their own mansion, and never, on his own words: interfere with out married life.Somehow, it appalled me."You could have let them stay here you know..." Ginala ko ang tingin sa aming sala.We were just about to go to Casino Real. Make appearances, and he'll drop me off to Rockwell for my meeting with Selena.We're both dressed of navy blue tops. Naka puting mini skirt at thigh high boots ako at nagdala ng Dior saddle bag."Huwag na." he answered."Why?"Nilingon niya ako. Seryoso at mapagmatiyag ang mga tingin — halos tila nang-uusisa ito at binabalak na basahin ang isipan ko. Sandali pa niya akong tinignan at humalukipkip. Nagtaas ako ng kilay at ngumiti pero agad ring napawi nang magtanong siya."Do you seriously want to live with my ex-gir
The Billionaire's Doll Chapter 15 - Some Consequences
Chapter 15 - Some ConsequencesWhy did my brother ended up dead? Who killed him? And why?Bumuhos ang mga tanong sa isipan ko habang nasa biyahe kami papunta sa condo. May parte sa akin na iniisip na baka kasalanan ko. Ako ang nagpadakip sa kanya. Ako ang nag-umpisa nito. May iba nga lang na tumapos.Pero ang tanong, sino?Galit kong tinignan ang telepono ko. Kanina ko pa tinatawagan si Selena at ang mga tauhan namin pero ni isa walang sumasagot. Every second, I grew impatient and anxious. My brother just died... Possibly murdered. But by who? Tauhan ba namin? Ni Ander? O may iba pang kalaban?"A-ander... We need to go and see them-""Stay right there, per favore." aniya at pinigilan ako sa pagtayo.I heard he told his bodyguards to keep the building secured. Pinacheck niya rin si Mommy at pinapadala na niya rito. He called a few people on his phone and talked to them in various languages I couldn't understand and grasp.
The Billionaire's Doll Chapter 16 - The Wake
Chapter 16 - The Wake"Sleep tight. I'll fix this. I promise." That's what Ander told me before he went out of my room.Hindi na ako umimik. Sobrang daming gumugulo at bumabagabag sa akin. Kahit ang sarili kong konsensya ay tinatalikuran talaga ako. Paulit-ulit kong sinasabi sa sarili na dapat malungkot ako sa nangyayari. Pero wala akong maramdaman na. Hindi ko alam kung namamanhid ba ako. Ang tanging nararamdaman ko lang ay pagkabahala at takot na mahuli ako nina Mommy sa ginawa ko. Because God knows they won’t let this slip away. They can disown me.I sighed. Tinitigan ko ang kisame at naramdaman ang tuluyang pagsarado ni Ander sa pinto ko.Ni hindi na ako nakapagpasalamat sa kanya. But God knows how grateful I am because of him. Hindi ko alam kung dahil ba nasa isang mababang punto ako ng buhay ko ngayon kaya masyado ko siyang na a-appreciate.I tossed and turned around
The Billionaire's Doll Chapter 17 - Assurance
Chapter 17 - AssuranceKung sinampal ko kaya 'to si Serena? Tutal deserve naman niya?I stared at the altar in front of me. My mother is talking, but I couldn't make out everything she's saying. All I can hear is my erratic heartbeat, the peddling noise outside that I couldn't even understand. The flashes across the room, and the slow burning murmurs of the people around us as they agree to what my mother is saying."Corelle," Marahang hinaplos ni Ander ang siko ko. Napatingin ako sa kanya.Sa sobrang paglalakbay ng isip ko, halos wala na akong matinong maisip. I can't afford to lose my cool now. I can't let anyone see how chaotic and messy my life is right now.For sure, they'll question everything and everyone around me. Ang unang sisi rito ay kay Ander. Siyempre, siya ang asawa ko... Siya ang unang-unang titignan ng mga tao."What?" I mouthed.He looked at me — his eyes are overshadowed with questions. I kne
The Billionaire's Doll Chapter 18 - F Day
Chapter 18 - F Day[Warning: SPG]"And you managed to prepare dinner?" I peered inside our kitchen. When we came home, he told me to take a warm bath — and I did. Ngayong pinabababa na niya ako, naabutan ko siyang naghahanda ng pagkain namin.He didn't call for our chef. He's doing it. Ander style. With his black apron on, a white shirt underneath and a black gym shorts. He looks very casual. Very different from his facade in the outside world."Parang natatanggal na talaga ang angas mo ah?" I smirked tauntingly.Pinasadahan ko ng tingin ang mga ginawa niya para sa dinner namin. I am not very familiar with what's on the table, but I figured it's everything Italian. "I thought we're just going to fuck tonight?"Nilapitan niya ako pagkahubad niya ng apron at pagkalapag ng dessert. "We'll do that.""After this?""After this," He nodded and licked his lower lip."Oka
The Billionaire's Doll Chapter 19 - Wine Teasing
Chapter 19 - Wine TeasingAnder booked a one week vacation somewhere in Capri, Italy. I told him that it's not necessary. Ayaw ko rin namang makahanap na naman ng dahilan ang media para pagpiyestahan ang mga buhay namin. Ayaw ko rin na nangingialam sila sa buhay namin na para bang sila ang nagpapakain at nagpapalamon sa amin. Baka kasi masilip ng mga tao na nagpapakasasa ako sa masarap na buhay ko habang nagluluksa pa rin ang mga magulang ko sa pagkawala ng kapatid ko.I've read articles that I lack sympathy. That I'm not grieving. The comments are condescending and degrading. I wonder if how they really can see right through me, or they just have this perception of me?Umihip ang pang hapong hangin at inayos ko ang aking sarong. I'm in my aquafina bikini. Ander's topless, with his shades on and a board shorts. Hindi na ako nag-post ng pictures namin dahil baka mamatay na sa inggit ang mga tao sa Pilipinas."I'll see you again in a week." ani Ande
The Billionaire's Doll Chapter 20 - He's Back
Chapter 20 - He's BackWhen we came back to Manila, we are immediately bombarded by reports. To be honest — we look like a celebrity couple. Dressed with an all black ensemble suit, Andee held my waist with care as he navigated and guided me towards the exit door where our cars are waiting for us."We'll be using separate cars. I still need to go to Casino Real.""Yes, and I have a pamper day."Maauna akong umuwi dahil isa lang naman ang appointment ko sa Aivee. Gusto ko sanang Kaya lang, baka pa ako makapunta sa paroroonan ay namataan ko na ang dagat ng tao na tiyak na naghihintay sa amin. Mabilis kong binaba ang shades ko at mas lalong nagtaka.Hindi ko ineexpect na ganito karami!We are not informed!"Mr. and Mrs. Caruso, anong masasabi niyo sa naging pahayag ni Serena Machiavelli?"With just the mere mention of her name, the goosebumps all over my body sent a terrifying chill on my spine.Bakit ba nababanggit ang pangalan niya?"What?""S
The Billionaire's Doll Chapter 21 - The Outcast
Chapter 21 - The Outcast"Why is he here?"Ander looked at me with ease. It's like he's watching a melodrama film playing in front of him. His forest eyes hinted a sense of pride and victory. Like the one he's capable of giving whenever he conquered another region, another trade, and another gang.But I was too infested with hate and doubts that I couldn't see it at first glance."I said I'll handle everything.""You should inform me about your plans.""When I say I got it — I mean it.""I know, but... This is Guzman...""And I am Ander Caruso, Corelle. Ni minsan, hindi pa ako pumalpak sa mga plano ko."Nagkatitigan kaming dalawa. Igting panga niya akong pinagmasdan na tila ba wala na siyang ibang iniisip kundi ang iniisip at nararamdaman ko.I shifted on my feet and glanced at Guzman's. He's busy looking at our pictures. The one that Ander framed when we got back from different vacations or pa
