All Chapters of The Broken Billionaire: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

How long has it been since he smelled the breeze at Roxas Boulevard, parang sobrang tagal na. New buildings, hotels and restaurants. New stars and celebrities, New businesses and tycoons striving for a better and bigger future. Manila has certainly evolved since he last remembered. Bago na rin ang presidente at iba na ang governing rules ng Pilipinas. Something that he wasn't ready for but was wholeheartedly accepting it. A lot has changed since he came to Manila, three months passed by so quickly but still he's just in the process of regaining his life back. Iba na kasi ang buhay ngayon, mas mabilis at mas challenging. Hindi pa rin sya tuluyang nakakabalik sa pagtatrabaho but he's one step closer to getting back to the spotlight which he missed so much. An interview later at The Buzz, live at Six in the afternoon.Tahimik siyang nagmamaneho, kasama nya sina Robert at Archie papunta ng studio ng CBN. Kakagaling lang kasi nya sa therapy, it's only half the day but he's already tired. B

The commercial break is over pero nakakaramdam parin sya ng katayuan at uhaw. Some of the questions had been irrelevant, simpleng kumustahan lang, but some are quite hard to answer. Ilang beses na syang uminom mula sa kanyang water bottle but every sip doesn't seem to be enough to quench his thirst. He's sweating like crazy, palms a bit damp and if only his make-up wasn't so luxuriously intact ay magmumukha syang biik na nililichon sa sobrang paglalangis.Was he this nervous the first time he stepped on the stage? Hindi.He closed his eyes for a brief second bago siya muling tumingin sa nag-aalalang host sa harap nya."Are you sure you want to go through this? We can always reschedule this once you're ready. Ayaw kitang madaliin." Pangalawang beses na itong tinanong ni Tito Boy sa kanya, yet his reply remained the same. Binigyan nya ng munting ngiti ang lalaking kaharap nya at tumango ng saglit. "Oo naman po, kaya ko." Matapang niyang sagot dito, pero sa totoo lang... He wanted to run

Tahimik na nanunuod ng telebisyon si Karinna. And as much as she hates to admit it, sobrang miss na miss na nya ang binata. Napanood nya ang interview nito sa the buzz, and quite frankly seeing him after three months had been a painful relief.Para syang nabunutan ng tinik ng makita nya na healthy si Vince. Masakit man para sa kanya na hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa sya napapatawad nito, for her naman it's enough na he's doing good on his own. But still, umaasa sya na sana dumating ang araw na maiintindihan sya ni Vince.Na sana, makita ng binata na she was only looking after his well-being kaya pilit ni Karinna itago ang katotohanan.Sumabog din ang ilang dosenang balita ng aminin ni Vince na sya ang kasama nito sa Batanes. Hindi na lang niya ito pinansin, and she strictly ordered and requested her manager and the management na ayaw niyang ma interview ng kahit sino, in any form or matter as well. Not even the hand picked interviewers of CBN. She refuses to be a part of that drama, know

They had no reservation sa piniling restaurant ni David kaya naghintay sila sa waiting area ng ilang minuto bago sila maka upo. They were assisted by a handsome waitstaff, and they were seated at the far right corner of the house. Just as Karinna preferred. Table for two, with dim candlelight at roses and sunflowers as their table top design. Maganda ang restaurant, maliit at kaunti lang talaga ang naka-kakain dito. A private and short escape Para sa mga malalaki at sikat na tao katulad nila.They ordered the six course meal, at habang naghihintay sila... sinubukan ni David kausapin ang kanyang asawa. He tried to ask about the weather and the things she has been doing. Sinubukan rin niyang mag biro at magpatawa but all he got was a snort in response. He also tried to talk about food, a topic that Karinna loved to talk about before... But it seems that the only thing that she wants to do with him was to eat. Nothing more, nothing less."Pwede bang kausapin mo naman ako? Kanina pa ako s

"So... You're back?" Matapang at mataas ang tindigan sa tanong ni Karinna, and yet there was a hint of longing in her eyes. Like the stiffness is her voice and the walls she put up against everyone was slowly beginning to fall apart.Kumawala si Vince sa yakap ni Addalyn sa kanya. Then slowly, he approached Karinna. "Yes." Tumigil lang sya ng ilang hakbang lang ang layo nila sa isa't isa. "I'm back."Matagal na nagkatitigan ang dalawa, not one moved an inch nor flinched in their long and unwinding staring contest. It's a familiar tension that they've felt months ago. Parang nung unang beses na nagkita si Addalyn at si Karinna after their misunderstanding a while ago. But of course, this was different. It was caused by something deeper than a childish fight, and it left everyone completely speechless.And then biglang pumasok si Dumbo sa backstage, catching the attention of everyone.Nang nakita ng lalaki ang nangyayari sa loob ng quiet room. Vince, and Karinna looks as if they were ab
