The Billionaire's Kryptonite 55. Friendship.
The next morning, sabay silang bumalik ni Miguel sa ospital. They didn't talk about anything. Lara pretended everything was fine and it seemed that he also didn't notice that she had cried a lot the previous day. "I can't leave work for long so we will only be staying in Lola's house for just three days," mayamaya ay sabi ni Miguel habang nasa byahe sila."I didn't pack my things," naisagot niya. Hindi naman kasi siya nito ininform. "Rosette will just send our belongings in the house. Don't worry," he answered, then refocused his attention on the road ahead of them. Pero sa panaka-nakang pagsulyap ni Lara sa asawa, she could tell that something's bothering him. "May problema ba, Migo?" tanong niya bago niya mapigilan ang sarili niya. Miguel sighed. "Honestly, I'm not sure either. If you noticed, no one visited Lola in the hospital aside from us and Meredith. It's because I can control who could visit her and who could not. But in her house, it's different."Alam niyang may iba it
The Billionaire's Kryptonite 56. Crazy for you.
Meredith stayed until dinner. Kung hindi pa ito indirectly na pinalayas ni Cordelia, tila makakalimutan nitong kailangan nitong umuwi. Kaya after dinner na sila ulit nagkasarilinan ni Miguel. "Are you okay, sweetheart?" Miguel asked. Nakaupo sila sa kama at nasa likuran niya ito, pahalik-halik sa batok at balikat niya. "You look unwell. Are you feeling something?"Umiling siya, humarap dito at nagkusa itong halikan sa mga labi nito. Kahit pa pakiramdam niya ayaw niyang gawin iyon. Naaalala niya kasing hinalikan nito si Meredith and who knew what else they did after that kiss?But Lara also wanted to prove a point na mas magaling siyang humalik. At kung posible, mas kaya niya itong paligayahin sa kama. With that in mind, she became aggressive. Hindi na niya inalintana ang pagtataka sa mukha nito na kalaunan din naman ay nawala rin at buong intensidad din siyang sinabayan. Lara didn't know she was capable of what she was doing. In the past, she would just shyly let Miguel be in cont
The Billionaire's Kryptonite 57. Doubt.
Dahil nangako sa kanya si Miguel na wala itong kahit na anong nararamdaman para kay Meredith, Lara was naturally happy again.Lalo na dahil harap-harapang magpaka-showy sa affection nito sa kanya ang asawa niya kahit naroon na naman ang kaibigan nito.Lola Cordelia already asked her kung hindi ba ito nakakaabala. But the woman answered na sasamantalahin na lang din nitong naka-break sa trabaho si Miguel para makasama naman daw ito bago ito bumalik sa New York. So, sige na lang. Tiniis na lang ni Lara ang pagiging sweet nito kay Miguel. Kasi hindi naman nilulubayan ng asawa ang tabi niya. He stayed beside her para iparamdam sa kanya na sincere ito sa sinabi nito sa kanya kagabi. Maliban nang kinailangan nitong ihatid ang Lola nito sa silid nito. Lara was forced to stay with Meredith alone. "How old are you again, Lara?" Sweet ang ngiti pati ang boses na tanong ni Meredith. "I just turned twenty-four," she answered truthfully. Kahit hindi pa man, alam na niya ang pakay nito sa pagta
The Billionaire's Kryptonite 58. Is it wrong?
One dinner in the city's finest restaurant and the business community was blown away by the news about Miguel Villareal and a mysterious young woman the next morning. Some claimed that he called off his engagement with Meredith Jones for a much younger beau. Kung anu-anong versions ang lumabas pero ang bottomline ng lahat, wala ng kasalang Meredith at Miguel dahil sa kanya. But Miguel was quick to clear her name. Unlike the first issue when he didn't make a statement about him and Meredith Jones, this time he made an exclusive interview to let everyone know that he was a married man. That he was married to the woman he was with the previous night, but at the same time, he still withheld info about Lara. Especially her name. At pagkalabas na pagkalabas pa lang nga ng klaripikasyon ni Miguel, hindi na tinantanan si Lara nang sunud-sunod na messages at tawag mula kina Chester at Tasya. Pero wala ni isa man siyang sinagot o sineen man. When Lara agreed to dine with Migo, overwhelmed p
The Billionaire's Kryptonite 59. Possessively.
"Are you sure you don't need me in the office?" "If you're asking if I won't miss you, I surely would, Lara," Miguel answered, planting little kisses all over her face. "Every d*mn minute that I don't see you."It was still dawn nang magising siya sa mga maiinit at nangangailangang mga haplos ng kanyang asawa. They had just shared a steamy four o'clock AM intimacy. Ni hindi siya sigurado kung nakatulog na ba ito mula sa pag-o-overtime sa iniuwing trabaho."But I'm going to be very busy today. Kailangan kong matapos ang lahat ng engagements ko to free up my schedule tomorrow. Baka wala akong magawa kapag sinama kita sa opisina," patuloy nito bago ikinulong siya sa mga bisig nito. Isiniksik naman niya ang mukha sa dibdib nito. "But can I go over to bring you lunch?" tanong niya pa in the hopes to get a glimpse of him during the day."I'll have a lunch meeting with an investor, sweetheart.""Hmn," disappointed niyang sambit."Come on, don't make me change my mind. Marupok ako pagdatin
The Billionaire's Kryptonite 60. Seventeen years.
"Oh my gosh! Is Lena alive all this time?!" Carlotta exclaimed, looking like she'd just seen a ghost."Paano, Miguel? Namatay na ang babaeng iyon! Nakita naming lahat nang ilibing siya! Sino ang babae na 'to?" Stefan was equally perplexed. "She's not Lena! Her name is Lara, Stefan! Don't you all remember? May kapatid si Lena!" sagot ni Lola Cordelia, not sounding so patient at her children."Kapatid? Ah, I remember now. That little brat who suddenly went missing! How did she grow up resembling her sister so much?" Sandra added."Did you have her face go through surgery, Miguel? Gano'n ka kadesperado na ibalik ang babaeng 'yon?" Leonard joined the conversation."It's been f*cking seventeen years ago! How could you not get over her death until this time?" said Stefan again."This is so ridiculous! What a shame! Are you so desperate to cling on to your position now?" Leonard remarked."All of you, stop this nonsense!" Lola Cordelia ordered sternly. "You have no respect!""And you gave h
The Billionaire's Kryptonite 61. Weird reaction.
The next thing Lara knew, nasa sahig na ang lalaki at pinapaulanan ni Miguel ng suntok habang pinipigilan naman ang asawa niya ng ibang miyembro ng pamilya. There's another familiar guy who pulled Miguel from the man on the floor at inundayan din ito ng suntok. Lola Cordelia desperately tried to stop the commotion as everyone took the opportunity to lash out at Miguel. Sa isang iglap, lugmok ang asawa niyang pinagtulungan ng sarili nitong pamilya.Lara couldn't stop screaming and crying. Nanginginig na dinaluhan niya si Miguel habang ang naunang galit na naramdaman niya kanina ay napalitan na nang matinding takot. "Are you okay?" Duguan na ang mukha pero nagawa pa rin siyang tanungin ni Miguel. Iniharang naman ni Lola Cordelia ang sarili nito sa kanila para hindi na sila malapitan ng ibang mga lalaki sa pamilya. Gano'n din ang ginawa ni Meredith na umiiyak na rin dahil sa nangyari kay Miguel. The one who hugged her earlier was still shouting Lena's name like his life depended on
The Billionaire's Kryptonite 62. Afraid.
Lara hadn't been the same since that night. Madalas, tulala siya. Hindi niya alam kung napapansin ni Miguel, pero naging busy rin kasi ito kahit nasa bahay lang nang ilang araw. He couldn't come to work looking like he was beaten to death. Kaya double time ito sa kabi-kabilaang call conference. Si Lara naman ay pilit na inaalala ang mukha ni Stefano and if she was right about him. She started searching for him on the internet. Wala siyang nakita na larawan nito from many years ago. Ang mayro'n lang na pinakaluma ay limang taon ang nakararaan. Pero sigurado siya. He was that man. "Okay ka lang ba, Miss Lara?" puna ni Auntie Rosette sa kanya. Nasa garden siya at malalim ang iniisip nang lapitan siya ng matanda."Auntie, oo naman po," sagot niyang ngumiti pa."Halos dalawang dekada na kitang inaalagaan. Sa tingin mo ba, makapagtatago ka pa sa akin?" Naupo ito sa tabi niya. "Ano ang iniisip mo?" "Wala po," kaila pa rin niya. Tapos ay hindi na niya alam ang idudugtong sa sinabi niya.
