I trust him. Yes, I really do. More than anyone. Fuck, I even trust him more than I ever did trust my father, and I hope that he’ll never ruin it. I mean, he’s Chester. He’ll never do such things.Pero kahit ganoon, hindi ibig sabihin ay hindi na ako nagdududa kay Sir Christopher. Why does he have that information? At bakit ganoon kalalim na walang nagsasalita tungkol doon? What happened that my father never wanted anyone to talk about it? Pakiramdam ko, there was more to what I think I know. There are things deeper than this. And not knowing the truth prevents me from sleeping every night for the past week.It’s not that I don’t trust Chester, it’s just that… I can’t wait anymore.And there’s only one person that comes to my mind who can answer everything. But to my surprise, I… I cannot fucking find her anywhere.“Nanang?” I asked as I continued ringing the doorbell, but there was no fucking response. No one was answering the door, and the vehicles weren’t there. Gustohin ko mang is

Chapter 22I had no choice but to stay inside the house for a damn while. I tried talking to Markus, but it was only for a few minutes. I’m so baffled by the fact that I only get to talk to him for a few minutes when I should’ve talked to him more than should!Pero kahit ganoon, I’m so happy that he’s fine. Hindi naman siya binugbog, but there was still bruises evident on his face. Sinubukan kong humingi ng tawad, but he kept on insisting that he’s at fault anyway. Hindi ko siya maintindihan dahil doon, but we both kept the conversation clear and short. Matapos noon ay hindi na rin ako muling nakatawag. I was either crying myself or simply trying to figure out things dahil mababaliw na yata talaga ako rito.Chester and I haven’t been talking for almost a week. Although he assists me often, he was always silent. At ayaw ko rin naman siyang kausapin. I’d rather talk to the wall than understand his bullshits.We’ve never stayed in the same room at night again. I just couldn’t bear it. An

“How are you feeling?” Chester asked after I handed him the glass of water.Mabigat ang loob na umiling na lang ko at binigyan siya ng ngiti. After what happened earlier, he immediately took me home. I never passed out, pero parang mas lalo lang nakasama iyon dahil hindi nawala sa isip ko ang mga nangyari at nasabi ng Daddy.I feel like I’m about to explode anytime now. My mind’s so messed up, and the problems kept adding up. I don’t know if I could take more. I want to just rest. I want to just leave. I’m so tired of all the secrets and lies na ngayo’y sabay-sabay lumalabas at sinasabi sa akin. Why didn’t they have the urge to tell me the truth in the first place?They just want me to end up miserable, don’t they?“Paris, what’s going on in that little head of yours, hmm?” Chester asked as he stroked my hair and held my head near his chest. “Please tell me,” he said.I breathed so heavily and hugged him tightly. I badly want to cry ero parang tuluyan nang naubos ang luha ko at naman

“What the fuck happened?!” I could almost taste blood as I run downstairs, trying to fucking call everyone I know that should be around the accident.Fucking shit!After hearing from Chancellor’s bodyguard what happened, I didn’t fucking care at first. But hearing who she’s with during that fucking accident almost already made me want to kill someone, at isa doon ay si Chancellor. Why the hell is he with my wife?!“Check all the cameras in the restaurant and coordinate with the police. Gusto kong mahuli agad ang driver ng sasakyang iyon.”“Noted, Sir.” My men immediately left as my bodyguard escorted me to the damn hospital!Damn it, Paris. You’ll be the death of me. Why was she in that place in the first place? She should’ve been home! Bakit… bakit kasama niya si Chancellor? I can feel my heart pounding si much in anger, pero hindi naroon ang atensyon ko. There’s much worse than fucking jealousy. And when I heard the siren of the ambulance, I recognized that feeling already.When I

I woke up in the unfamiliar coldness of the bed. Hindi ako sanay. It felt like something was missing. More like someone. When I opened my eyes, I wasn't even surprised anymore when I saw her gone on the other side of the bed. Pero kahit hindi na ako nagulat, hindi ko pa rin napigilan ang kirot sa dibdib ko. She really hates me right now, doesn’t she?I sighed heavily and almost wanted to pull my hair out of fucking frustration. I should’ve expected this. I should’ve been ready for it.I took the white polo that was crumpled on the bedside table, wearing it without minding the lipstick stain on it. I tried looking around, eyeing if there were any traces of her or her whereabouts. But with her last night's clothes tidied up, and her most intimidating, yet addicting perfume filling up the room, I already knew she was somewhere.But where could she be? Will she meet someone?Hated to admit it, but that was the perfume she wore during our dates. Kaya mas lalo tuloy akong hindi napanatag ku
