Semua Bab She Carries The Billionaire’s Heir: Bab 1 - Bab 10

SIMULAMy stylist put the last pin to my hair to make it strong and stable during the ceremony. Nang matapos na sila ay nanatili akong nakaupo habang pinagmamasdan ang sariling repleksyon sa salamin. The woman staring back at me is the woman I dreamed of when I was a child–perfect, flawless, and glowing with love. This is exactly how I picture this scene to be.All the other stylists and bridesmaids buzz around me, telling me how perfect my look is. I smiled hearing their compliments. Bumalik sa isip ko kung paano nga ba ako napunta sa sitwasyon na ‘to. How the fairytale-like love story I only dreamed of came true.Sebastian, my fiancé, was my childhood sweetheart. Syd and Calloway are really close friends and have strong business ties. We were already aware that our parents had arranged for us to get married in order to continue our company’s relationship.Growing up, he always made me feel secured and wanted, he was my safe place especially in our world where I was expected to be ‘p

KABANATA 2My head hurts as hell! Parang pinupukpok ang ulo ko sa sobrang sakit, maybe because I drunk too much last night? Hindi ko na rin alam. Basta ang alam ko, sobrang sakit ng ulo ko.Unti-unti kong iminulat ang mata ko, damang-dama ko pa rin ang pagpintig ng ulo ko. Dumiretso ang mata ko sa bintana, the sky outside was barely turning gray. Agad naman akong tumingin sa paligid at doon ko lang napansin na wala ako sa kwarto ko.Hindi ito ang kwarto ko sa bahay at lalong hindi ito ang condo ko. Nanlaki ang mata ko ng matagpuan ang sarili kong hubad at mas nanlaki ang mata ko ng mapansin ko ang hindi kilalang lalaki na nakahiga sa tabi ko.Naramdaman ko ang lalong pagkirot ng ulo ko habang pilit inaalala ang mga nangyari kagabi. The memories flooded back–from my ruined wedding because of betrayal to how I desperately threw myself to a stranger just to forget the pain temporarily.Parang nagkabuhol-buhol ang sistema ko sa kahihiyan. Muli kong nilingon ang lalaki sa tabi ko, he was s

KABANATA 4 “Then marry me.” Nakailang kurap pa ako bago makapagsalita. “A-ano?” “Marry me,” he repeated. “In paper only. It’s a deal. A contract marriage. I’ll help you get your life back, your company, your name.” tahimik lamang akong nakikinig sa mga susunod niya pang sasabihin. “In return, you’ll carry my child. My heir.” Napamaang na lamang ako sa sinabi niya. Hindi ako nakapagsalita. “You help me secure my heir. I help you get your life back. No strings, no feelings, no emotional attachment. Just business.” he said casually. “C-carry your child?!” sa wakas ay nakakuha na ako ng lakas para magsalita. “First you want me to marry you, and you also want me to carry your child?! I didn’t even know your name?!” I saw him pause for a moment. Like he was realizing something just now. “Why would I marry a stranger and carry his chi–!” hindi ko na natapos ang pagh-hysterical ko ng muli niyang pinutol ng sinasabi ko. “Draven. Draven Montelare.” I blinked. “M-montelare? I feel

KABANATA 6Everything was still weighing a lot on my chest when I woke up. Muli ay nakatulog uli ako nang hindi ko namamalayan. Hindi na nga ako nakakain ng hapunan.Paglabas ni Draven kagabi ng kwarto ay naligo lamang ako at nagpalit, pagkatapos ay humiga na ako–tumulala, bumuntong hininga, nag-isip nang nag-isip hanggang sa hindi ko namalayan ang pagdalaw ng antok at tuluyan na akong nakatulog.Gusto kong kalimutan ang lahat ng nangyari pero lalo lang akong binabagabag ng mga isipin tuwing mag-isa na lang ako.I had no idea what time it was, but there was no sunlight peeking through the window curtains. Madilim sa labas at dinig ko ang pagpatak ng ulan. I turned to the side, sa bakanteng parte ng kama. Alam kong hindi siya dito matutulog dahil may sarili siyang kwarto, pero hindi ko pa rin maiwasang mapalingon sa pwesto niya. How odd it is to feel so alone even after getting married.Oh yeah, this was just a contract marriage. Nothing more.A faint scent of freshly brewed coffee lin

KABANATA 8Pagkagising ko kinabukasan, pakiramdam ko ay ibang tao na ako. I am no longer the Amara Syd who was humiliated, betrayed, and dragged down in my own company.I was Mrs. Montelare now.It was about time they recalled who I was before they broke me.Pagbaba ko ng dining area ay naroon na si Draven–as usual, nakaharap siya sa kaniyang laptop habang salubong na salubong ang kilay. He barely glanced at me when I walked in, but his eyes did flick over the sharp-cut white pantsuit I wore. Clean. Commanding.“You have plans?” he casually asked.“Yes,” sagot ko, at kinuha ang kape ‘tsaka lumapit sa lamesa. “I’m going to burn a bridge.”He raised his brow.[The Office of Sydelle Couture]Pagpasok ko sa lobby ay halos huminto ang mundo. Ilang empleyado ang napatayo, habang ang iba naman ay nagbubulungan, pero isa lang ang sigurado ako. Lahat sila ay hindi inaasahan ang pagdating ko. Bakas sa kanilang mga mukha ang gulat at takot.“Are we expecting Mrs. Montelare?” rinig kong bulong ng
