All Chapters of Bed Warmer Wife : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Zhe's POVPagkatapos ng hapunan, unti-unting lumipat ang lahat sa living room para magpahinga. Ngunit habang abala ang iba sa pakikipag-usap, biglang tumayo si Sophie, causing some heads to turn towards her. “I should get going,” mahina niyang sabi habang inaayos ang bag niya. “May kailangan pa akong asikasuhin.” Napatingin ako sa kaniya, kita sa mukha niya ang pilit na ngiti—isang ngiting hindi abot sa mga mata. “Ngayon?” tanong ni Mommy, bahagyang nag-aalala. “Hindi ba puwedeng bukas na lang?” Ngumiti si Sophie at umiling. “It’s urgent po mom.” Alam kong dahilan lang niya ‘yon. I could see the way her fingers trembled slightly as she clutched her purse, the way her eyes darted toward Caleb—who, once again, didn’t spare her a glance. Tumayo siya at nagpaalam sa lahat bago mabilis na lumabas ng bahay. Hindi ko alam kung bakit, pero parang may pumigil sa’kin para hayaan siyang umalis ng gano’n lang. I followed her. Pagdating ko sa labas, nakita kong nakatayo siya sa ta

"Got it, Ms. Zhe. Consider it done," aniya at ngumiti bago siya lumabas.Hours passed and we were already closing the café. Good thing wala na sila Caleb. Pinauwi ko na ang mga staff ko, at kami na lang ni Cindy ang naiwan. She insisted on waiting for me, pero sinabi kong mauna na lang siya. Ayaw niya sana, pero pinilit ko siya kaya napilitan siyang umuwi.I cleaned my table, and before I finally left, I checked every corner of the café-and of course, my machines.Pagkalabas ko, nagulat ako nang makita si Nathan sa labas, nakasandal sa sasakyan niya, nakangiting kumakaway sa'kin.Napailing ako at ngumiti na lang rin."What are you doing here?" bungad ko

Zhe's POVI stared at my open planner, pen in hand, but the lines and schedules blurred into nothing. My thoughts were clearly somewhere else—or more accurately, with someone else.Caleb.Nang umalis siya sa kwarto kanina habang nakapikit pa ang mga mata ko, agad akong bumangon, nagbihis, at umalis—even if my legs were still trembling.Tinutoo niya talaga ang sinabi niyang “You will leave the room with your legs trembling.”I could still feel the phantom press of his lips against my skin, the way he held me like he didn’t want to let go. Nakakainis. Kasi kahit anong pilit kong bumalik sa dating Zhe—yung composed, boss-mode, no-nonsense—my body still remembered last night. And this morning.Napatingin ako sa pinto nang may kumatok doon.“Miss Zhe, someone from supply delivery is looking for you,” Cindy said from the door.“On it,” I replied, straightening up and instantly slipping back into my composed persona.But even as I stepped out of the office, clipboard in hand, my heart was st

WARNING: R18+ please read at your own risk.Zhe's POVThe hum of the engine was steady, but the tension inside Caleb’s sleek black car was anything but.We hadn't said much since leaving the café.Hindi na ako nagulat nang makita si Caleb na nag-aantay sa labas. Pagkalabas ko ng cafe ay nasa labas siya—clearly waiting for someone.He just told me to get in—and I did, without a word. He looked too intense, too quiet, like a man on the edge. And I... I was already burning from the storm earlier in the morning, where he ripped my panty and the the steamy scene in my office.But the way his hand gripped the wheel... how his knuckles whitened as he glanced at me from time to time—I knew something was about to snap.Then it did.At the red light, without warning, he pulled the car into a quiet, shadowed street—away from the traffic, away from the world.I turned to him. “Caleb, what are you—”“Get in the backseat,” he ordered, voice low. Raw.My pulse spiked. “What—here? Caleb, we—”“Now.”

Zhe’s POVI’m still here in my room.Hindi ko na maalala kung ilang oras na akong nakaupo sa kama, nakatulala sa kawalan.Sophie’s voice still echoes in my ears kahit na tahimik na sa labas.Tears streamed endlessly down my cheeks. Hindi ko na pinunasan. What for? Tutulo rin ulit. Tears after tears. Pain after pain."What have I done?" bulong ko sa sarili ko, halos hindi ko na marinig ang sarili ko. Parang nalunod na sa bigat ng emosyon ang boses ko.I wanted to reach out. To call. To explain.Pero para saan pa?Para patunayan kung gaano ako naging tanga?Napatingin ako sa pinto nang may kumatok. Napalunok ako, pero hindi ako gumalaw. Wala akong balak buksan ‘yon.Or I must say, hindi na kailangan.With a soft click, the door creaked open.Nag-angat ako ng tingin. Caleb stood there, holding an envelope in his hand. His face was unreadable.“Let’s talk,” he said, voice low but sure.Tahimik akong tumayo, kahit nanlalambot ang tuhod ko. I held my breath and stood tall.“Yes. Kailangan n
