All Chapters of The Billionaire's Rebound Wife: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

DYLAN FONTANILLA“You should welcome the guests, Dylan.” My mother, Layla Fontanilla, interrupted my conversation with Iverson. She spoke with that effortless authority she always wore like a designer silk scarf.She turned toward Iverson and planted a hand on her hip. “Don’t you think it’s too early for a drink, Iverson?” she scolded him.Iverson chuckled and set his glass down on a passing server’s tray. He offered Mom a wide grin. “Tita, this party is too boring—”“Iverson!” Mom cut him off and widened her eyes. They exchanged a look… a silent language of facial expressions… and made it clear they were hiding something.I heaved a deep sigh and crossed my arms. “Ma, I know about it already. You don’t have to send signals to each other,” I said and shook my head.Mom straightened her posture and looked at Iverson with a frown. “I told you, si Maurice dapat ang magsasabi sa kaniya. I’m sure you told him harshly…”I

DYLAN FONTANILLA“Wala na bang ibibilis ang takbo natin?” I snapped and drummed my fingers in a restless rhythm against the car door. My chest felt tight, the kind that happened whenever I sensed she was in trouble.Aziel let out a heavy sigh and pressed his foot harder on the accelerator. The engine roared in protest but he didn't slow down. Mas binilisan niya pa lalo ang pagpapatakbo.“Have you tried contacting Brielle again?” he asked after a long suffocating silence.I shook my head slowly. I dialed Brielle’s number for the nth time, but the only response I got was the mechanical voice of the operator. Walang sumasagot. I even tried calling the landline she used to reach Aziel earlier. Nothing. Silence.I glanced at Aziel. I saw his knuckles turning white as he gripped the steering wheel. He was terrified. He is Brielle’s husband, after all. Even with their history, I knew they loved each other. But my mind wasn't on Brielle. It

DYLAN FONTANILLA “So… she’s really Kaia? Thalia is Kaia?” I questioned and looked towards Brielle. Brielle nodded her head slowly and stared back at me with eyes full of sorrow. The confirmation felt like a physical blow to my chest. “There’s no way that’s possible,” a sharp voice interjected. Napunta ang atensyon namin sa Tita ni Kaia. She stood near Senator Clemente. Her presence made a sour note in the air. She was so against coming here yet she still trailed behind him like a shadow. She gripped her designer bag so hard her knuckles turned white. “Maybe you’re just mistaken, hija. Isa pa, that couple has been bothering us since day one! I mean, yes, she really has a resemblance to Kaia, but no, she’s not my niece. We just held a birthday party for my niece. Hindi si Kaia ang babaeng ‘yun,” she added and her voice clearly dripped with artificial concern. “She is Kaia. I'm a hundred percent sure!” Brie

KAIA CLEMENTE POINT OF VIEW“Magpapaliwanag ako…”Kita sa mga mata ni Tres na kahit sinabi niya sa aking magpapaliwanag siya, hindi niya alam kung paano ito sisimulan. Tila marami siyang gustong sabihin sa akin pero wala siyang mahanap na tamang paraan para sabihin ang mga iyon. Sinubukan kong magsalita, ngunit nang ibukan ko ang mga labi ko, wala ring lumabas mula iyon. Hindi ko pa kayang magsalita mula. Pakiramdam ko ay hinang-hina ako, na kahit ang simpleng pagsasalita ay hindi ko na magawa. Napangiwi na lamang ako nang muling kumirot ang ulo ko. Mas matindi iyon kaysa kanina. Agad namang nagbago ang ekspresyon ng mukha ni Tres. Para siyang binuhusan ng malamig na tubig nang mapansin ang pag-ngiwi ko. Dali-dali siyang umayos ng upo at muling hinawakan ang kamay ko. Gusto ko sanang bawiin iyon, gusto kong ilayo ang sarili ko sa sinungaling at manlolokong tulad niya, pero wala pa rin akong sapat na lakas para gawin iyon. Tumikhim siya

KAIA CLEMENTE POINT OF VIEW“Hindi ko alam kung paano ko aayusin ang lahat ng ito, Kaia. Hindi ako puwedeng makulong—”“You hurt me, Tres. You have to be held accountable for it,” mariing pagputol ko sa kung ano mang dapat ay sasabihin niya. “You shouldn’t have done all of this in the first place.”Napayuko siya at mariing inihilamos ang dalawang kamay sa kaniyang mukha. Halatang hind niya alam kung saan siya lulugar.“Nagpanic lang din ako,” paos niyang sabi. “S-Saka hindi ko naman ideya na kidnap-in ka. Dadalhin lang sana kita sa hospital tapos… t-tapos babalik din naman tayo kaagad. P-Pero kasi…”My brows drew in a straight line. “But what? What made you change your mind?” Nag-atubili siya bago muling nagsalita. “‘Yung Tita mo ang may kagagawan ng lahat ng ‘to!” Napapikit siya na parang nag-aalangang aminin ang bagay na iyon. “Tinawagan niya ako at sabi niya ay itakas kita sa hospital! Bahay niya raw ‘to at di
