The Broken Billionaire "62"
When it seems like there was nothing left to do, and there are no more options left to choose from... Wala ng nagawa ang binata kung hindi makita nalang ang kanyang sarili. Mag-isa. May dinadala na pagsisisi at kahihiyan.Tama nga si Addalyn. Nasaan na ang kanyang paninindigan? Yung katulad nung dati na kayang kaya nyang ipagsigawan na kaya nyang ibuwis ang buhay nya para sa taong mahal nya. He misses that version of him.Maybe that's what misery teaches everyone who feels it in the most wretched way. To be left with no emotion to spare.His car is still parked in the parking lot. He can call for help and ask for better assistance from the police, it's safe that way. It'll guarantee their safety... His safety, at least.Gustong-gusto na nyang umalis at tumakas dito, but something inside won't let him.She was never mine to protect anyway.Patuloy na pang-gugulo ng isip nya. Tama naman na pakinggan ang isip diba? It's the most practical thing to do. But when the heart decides, it won't

As Karinna reads through the paper, she realized one thing. It's an annulment paper and it was filed one and a half year ago, earlier than when they send their processing request four months ago. They planned this all along. And it's such a bitter pill to swallow. She had been such a fool to trust David. And so she thought it won't come to this end."Once you sign this with your name and signature, tapos na ang lahat sa inyo. Fifty percent of your assets will be given to David, as well as your combined bank accounts and savings accounts. Hindi ko na naman kailangang ipaliwanag, diba? Hindi ka naman Bobo, diba?" Zarah's intention oozed out from her system, and Karinna never met anyone so evil. She moaned in pain as Zarah's grip on her bruised shoulder tightened, and even as she tried to wiggle her way out of their grasp, it's as if her strength had been drained."Sign it." Muling utos ni Zarah dito. But it seemed like Karinna wouldn't budge. Again and again, she points her gun at the l

Pasal ni Vincent si Addalyn sa kanyang balikat at hirap na hirap silang lumabas ng dressing room. Nalusot sila ni Zarah sa mga tauhan ni David, pero hanggang duon lang talaga ang tulong na kayang ibigay nito.Ngayon dahan-dahan silang naglalakad papalabas ng Building. At si Vincent, naghihintay na mag-Text si Bernard sa kanya na nasa labas na ang mga pulis.Karinna is badly wounded and Addalyn is still unconscious, they must move faster. Vincent can sense it deep in his gut, danger is coming soon. "Karinna..." Mahinahon nyang pagtawag sa atensyon ng dalaga. "Kaya mo pa ba?" Tiningnan nya ang dalaga, maski sya nahihirapan sa sitwasyon nila. "Bilisan natin ng konti." Pakiusap nya rito.Walang imik na sumunod si Karinna sa utos ng binata. Marahan syang kumapit sa balikat ni Vincent at sinuportahan ang binata sa pagbubuhat kay Addalyn.Malapit na sila sa exit... but then, a gunshot was fired and it almost hit Vincent. The bullet almost went through the right side of his head, a few of his

Karinna took a deep breath and prepared for the worst. But then she heard a loud thud and the sound of a metal hitting the ground. Binuksan nya ang mata nya at nakita nyang nangingisay at nanginginig ang katawan ni David.And then she saw him..."Sabi ko sayo diba..." Bulong ni Vincent habang nananatiling nakahiga sa sahig, he was barely holding the taser gun with his bloody hands. "Hindi ko hahayaang saktan ka nya...""Po--pogi..." Karinna stuttered, nagmadali syang gumapang papalapit kay Vincent. Her eyes never leaving the sight of him as she watch the love of her life become more pale and lifeless. It's a familiar sight. Almost like deja vu. "Pogi..." She whispered softly ng makarating na sya sa kalapit ni Vincent.Para syang sinaksak ng paulit-ulit sa dibdib ng malapitan nyang mapagmasdan ang binata. "Vincent..." Hinaplos nya ang pisngi ni Vincent at hinalikan ito sa noo. "...wa-wait for me, okay?" It was painful to soothe him and tell him that everything is going to be okay. "...

There was a thick air between them, like a borderline that is too risky for them to cross. It makes her hands fidgety and her palms sweat. Her fingers continuously tapped and played against the hospital bed's side rails, there's something in her that wants to escape, even for just a second. It feels as if her bubble filled with happiness, fulfillment and contentment had been replaced with remorse and regret.Napaluha si Zarah ng muli nyang hawakan ang kanyang kaliwang dibdib. A gauze protected the stitch from infection, it was still bloody and it still ached. But nothing pained her more than being betrayed by the man that she loves, the man who promised her his love.What she thought was a promise of forever... was now something far fetched from the truth.In the end... She is back to square one. Broken-hearted and alone."Zarah..." Narinig nya ang boses ni Karinna. The woman whom she thought was the burden, but... here she is, at nag-aalaga sa pa kanya. "...don't cry." Mahinahong pag

Anong oras na ng naalimpungatan na ang binata. His line of vision was still blurry at patuloy ang pagbukas at sara ng talukap ng kanyang mata. He felt something heavy resting on his shoulder and midsection.Even though his line of vision was a bit compromised, hinding-hindi nya mapag-kakait kung kanino ang kulot na buhok na dumadaplis sa pisngi at leeg nya.She was still asleep. "Karinna."Vincent lifted himself para umayos ng higa sa kama. He wrapped his right arm around Karinna's shoulder at niyakap ito ng mahigpit. The smell of her unwashed hair sent tingles to his spine. It brings back memories from the time when they're fooling around and not giving a fuck of what the world would think about them.He leaned his head closer to her forehead and placed a soft skin on her skin. "Ikaw talaga..." He smiled against her skin. "Amoy Lumpia pa rin ang hininga mo pag bagong gising ka."Karinna made a slight movement under his embrace at nag-hikab ito."See, wala talagang pagbabago." Natataw

There were countless times when she wanted to give up and surrender. It's not easy to fight the good fight lalo na't maraming kumokontra at humahadlang dito. The court was a place she was unfamiliar with. She remembers the cold glare of people on her habang nakatayo sya sa Panel. Naaalala nya how they judge her life based on the sheets of paper that their attorneys detailed manuscript and listed facts and information of what happened in the past that could help her. As much as they've had control of the press and what will come out of the news, meron pa rin talagang iba ma sumasabit.Tabloids and different kinds of articles state how things ended up the way they are. The story is covered down from A to Z and Karinna feels deep in her gut na may kinalaman din dito ang pamilya ni David. A woman who cheated on her husband. A relationship that circled around infidelity. The unfaithful wife. Yun ang mga naging bansag sa kanya. Mahirap man, pero kinaya nya and her ex-husband's parents rese

The two were enjoying their small talk and chit-chat ng biglang may humawak sa magkabila nilang braso at niyakap sila ng mahigpit.Bernadette looked at the perpetrator and his eyes almost rolled back ng makita nya kung sino ito. "Ang dakilang paminta." Pabulong nyang biro sa kapatid. Oh gone were the days na naka-makeup na makapal ang kanyang bunsong kapatid. Kung dati ay hindi ito mapakali ng walang abubot sa mukha, ngayon naman ay tila pulbos na lang ang ginagamit nito. Nilanghap ni Vincent ang simuy na nag-mula sa Caldereta. "Smells good." Kumuha sya ng kutsara mula sa cutlery storage at tinikman ang luto ng kapatid. Agad naman nyang binigay ang kanyang 'seal of approval' ng malasahan nya ito. "This is good. Magugustuhan nila ito."Though everyone inside the house was quiet and focused on their own task, hindi nila mapagkakait ang nerbyos na nararamdaman. Lalo na si Vincent na kanina pa aligaga.Nabigyang pansin naman agad ito ng kanyang ina kaya hinawakan na lamang nya ang braso
