Chapter 8

Amber’s POV

Mabilis kaming nakarating ni Penelope sa mall, and a few hours later, I found myself laughing—actually laughing.

Penelope had somehow dragged me through nearly every store in the mall. We went shopping, tried on clothes, bought skincare products, ate snacks, and somehow ended up in the arcade.

I was currently holding a toy gun habang nakatayo si Penelope sa tabi ko, nakatitig sa screen na para bang hindi makapaniwala sa nakikita.

  • The Unwanted Wife (Wife Series #1)   Chapter 15: Date

    Chapter 15Amber’s POVThe rest of breakfast passed more quietly than I had expected.Hindi na kami masyado nag-usap. Pierre wasn’t exactly the type to fill silence with conversation, and strangely enough... I didn’t mind it.It wasn’t the kind of silence that felt awkward or suffocating. It was simply... new.Palihim ko siyang sinulyapan.Tahimik niyang inuubos ang kape niya, his expression as composed as ever. If someone else walked in right now, malamang iisipin nila na normal lang ang lahat. Like this was how we had always been.But it wasn’t. Nothing about this was normal. Hanggang ngayon nga ay nahihirapan pa rin akong paniwalaan ang lahat ng nangyari simula kaninang pagkagising ko.Pinagluto niya ako ng almusal. Nagkaroon kami ng maayos at normal na conversation. He remembered how I liked my coffee. And... the way he had gently wiped the corner of my mouth...Biglang uminit ang pisngi ko nang maalala iyon. Agad akong yumuko upang itago ang ngiting pilit na sumisilip sa labi ko.

  • The Unwanted Wife (Wife Series #1)   Chapter 14: The Start of Act

    Chapter 14Amber’s POVThe first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the dull ache pounding behind my temples.“...Ugh...” mahina kong daing at mas lalong ibinaon ang mukha sa unan.Hanggang ngayon ay sumasakit pa rin ang ulo ko dahil sa dami ng alak na nainom ko kagabi. I seriously regret getting that drunk. Akala ko kasi ay mapapamanhid ng alak ang sakit na nararamdaman ko. Instead, all it gave me was a terrible hangover. My eyes felt swollen too, probably from crying until I had nothing left.Then, as if someone had flipped a switch, everything that had happened yesterday came rushing back all at once.Seeing Pierre with Lauren. The bar. Breaking down in front of Chiara and Iñigo. My confrontation with Pierre. And finally... the deal.Slowly, I opened my eyes and rolled onto my back, staring blankly at the ceiling.For a moment, I wondered if everything had only been a dream. Baka imagination ko lang lahat ’yon. Maybe I’d gotten so drunk that my mind had made up the entire co

  • The Unwanted Wife (Wife Series #1)   Chapter 13: The Deal

    Chapter 13Amber’s POVNapuno ng katahimikan ang loob ng sasakyan. Matapos ang lahat ng narinig ko mula kay Iñigo... after everything I had finally admitted to myself... hindi ko na alam kung ano pa ba ang dapat kong maramdaman. My heart felt strangely numb.Marahan akong napalingon sa labas ng bintana.“... I think I should go now,” I said quietly, finally breaking the silence.I turned to Iñigo and managed a small smile.“Thank you... for everything. For listening to me... and for being honest about your feelings,” sincere na turan ko.He looked at me for a long moment before offering a small, weary smile. “...Take care of yourself, okay?”Marahan akong ngumiti at tumango.He looked as though he wanted to say something else, but instead, he simply reached over and gently ruffled my hair, just as he always did.“Good night, Amber.”“...Good night.”Lumabas na ako ng sasakyan, and the cool night air instantly brushed against my face. Bago ko isinara ang pinto ay muli ko siyang niling

  • The Unwanted Wife (Wife Series #1)   Chapter 12: Choose Yourself

    Chapter 12 Amber’s POV When I opened my eyes again, I found myself inside a familiar car. Ilang segundo akong nakatitig lang sa kisame, my mind still clouded by alcohol and exhaustion. Pakiramdam ko ay sobrang bigat ng katawan ko, as though every bone had been drained of its strength. The pounding in my head had lessened, but it hadn’t disappeared completely. My eyes stung terribly, swollen from crying for what felt like hours, and even swallowing made my throat ache. I probably looked terrible. Napabuntong-hininga ako at dahan-dahang umayos ng upo. Doon ko lang napansing nasa passenger seat ako ng sasakyan ni Iñigo. The engine was off, the street outside was quiet, and the familiar iron gates of my house stood just beyond the windshield. We were already home. How long have I been asleep? Nang ibaling ko ang tingin, nakita kong tahimik na nakaupo si Iñigo sa driver’s seat. One elbow rested against the open window while his fingers absently rubbed his forehead. Hindi siya nakati

  • The Unwanted Wife (Wife Series #1)   Chapter 11: Shattered

    Chapter 11Amber’s POVAgad kaming sinalubong ng malakas na tunog ng musika pagkapasok ng bar. The bass vibrated through the floor beneath my feet while colorful lights swept across the crowd dancing under the dim neon glow. Laughter, conversations, and clinking glasses blended into a single, overwhelming noise.Normally ay hindi ako komportable sa mga ganitong lugar, but tonight... I welcomed the noise. Maybe if everything around me was loud enough, it would drown out the sound of my own breaking heart.“Come on!” Chiara grabbed my wrist with a grin. “Humanap muna tayo ng table.”Sabay-sabay kaming nagtungo sa isa sa mga VIP booth na malapit sa dance floor. Pagkaupo pa lamang namin ay agad ng lumapit ang isa sa mga waiter.“Good evening, ma’am, sir. What can I get for you?”Bago pa makasagot sina Chiara at Iñigo ay nagsalita na ako. “A bottle of whiskey.”Sabay silang napatingin sa akin.“...And tequila,” dagdag ko.Napakurap si Iñigo. “...Amber?”“Please.”Nag-alangan ang waiter at

  • The Unwanted Wife (Wife Series #1)   Chapter 10: Reality

    Chapter 10Amber’s POVHindi ko alam kung anong oras na ako tuluyang nakatulog. Nang muli kong imulat ang mga mata, sumisilip na ang sinag ng araw sa pagitan ng mga kurtina.Bahagya akong napakunot-noo at dahan-dahang bumangon. Nang mapatingin ako sa kabilang parte ng kama ay wala na roon si Pierre.Napatingin ako sa orasan sa tabi ng kama at pasado alas-nwebe na pala ng umaga. I rarely woke up this late. It must be because I had exhausted my brain overthinking last night.I rubbed my face and let out a tired sigh before glancing at the other side of the bed again. I sat there for a moment, staring blankly at the empty space beside me.Then I shook my head. No. I wasn’t going to spend another day torturing myself with thoughts I couldn’t even confirm.Bumaba na ako ng kama at nagtungo sa banyo. I took a long shower, hoping the warm water would somehow wash away the heaviness in my chest. But it didn’t.Pagkatapos kong magbihis ay bumaba ako upang mag-almusal. The house felt unusually
