All Chapters of Chasing the Arrogant Instructor: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“Rest, honey. There’s nothing to worry about. Your stage is critical now. It’s bad for you and our baby if you keep stressing over problems. Let me handle this, okay?”Up until now, Gian kept reminding her over and over. He always said the same thing, that she should not worry too much because it was bad for the baby. From yesterday until today, he kept repeating the same reminder. She only nodded and closed her eyes. She had no choice but to follow what he was telling her.It was for her own good, and for their child too. She knew that. She couldn’t really blame her husband because he was just worried about her and the baby’s condition.But she still couldn’t erase from her mind what happened the other day. Fear and panic covered her whole body when she saw the red liquid flowing down her thigh to her leg.She felt like a candle melting from the heat. Like paper floating in the wind. She could feel the blood dripping down her feet. Her strength left her, and she couldn’t even shout f

She couldn't explain how deep the pain felt. It was like the sky and the ground were fighting inside her. She felt everyone had betrayed her. Was this her punishment? Is this karma? Is this the price for all the mistakes she made?It all felt too much. Couldn’t she just have a break? She wasn't even better yet, and another pain came. Nothing hurts more than being betrayed by your husband.But was what Ate said true?Who should she believe?Her sobs grew louder when the phone rang again. What was happening? Why were calls coming one after another? This didn't feel normal.She was scared to look at the phone. Scared to see who was calling. Scared to know more. Scared her hurt would only grow.The ringing stopped after a few seconds, but she cried harder.“I could have taken it if he cheated, but he told me he loved me—that makes it worse! I could have accepted it if he cheated, if he didn’t make me think we could still be okay!”She wiped her tears roughly. Then the phone rang again. An

Two days passed, and she was finally home. She heard that her brother, Jason, had gone back to America. He promised he would look for Ellena, but maybe he wasn’t brave enough to keep that promise. She felt sorry for him, but she knew he needed to learn his own lessons. Her thoughts were cut off when someone placed a cup on the table beside her laptop. “Won’t Gian come looking for you?” asked Manang Celia. Before answering, Vanessa reached for the cup. “Thank you, Manang,” she said with a small smile. She still didn’t understand why Gian had not visited her, or maybe he was just too busy with someone else. Was that woman really new? Or had she been in his life before Vanessa? Was I just something to pass the time, Gian? she thought. Maybe we shouldn’t have come back here. Since the day she left the hospital, her husband never came to see her again. “Vanessa, what really happened? Did you and Gian fight? Is that why you don’t want to go home to him?” She took a deep breat

Vanessa glared at her husband the second he stepped out of the bathroom, smelling fresh and looking neat. She hated that he still looked good—it only made her blood boil more.She had no choice but to let him inside earlier. Her dad told her to, and when it came to her dad, his word was always law. No arguing with that.As soon as they arrived, Manang Celia welcomed them and handed Gian a set of clothes. Vanessa rolled her eyes so hard she thought they might stay that way.She sat on the bed, laptop on her lap, while Gian dried his hair with a towel. Ugh. Even she couldn’t deny it. The man was handsome.Too handsome… handsome enough to cheat.She clicked her tongue. You really can’t trust him.Her story on screen blurred in front of her. She gave up, opened another tab, and logged in to Facebook. It had been days since she last checked her account—not that she missed it.And then Gian sat beside her. She felt his weight dip the mattress and, without even thinking, she shot him a death

People’s eyes sparkled and their lips carried smiles as she walked past them. Vanessa held the flowers tightly, the ones Mae had designed for her. The word happiness was too small for what she was feeling. Even William Shakespeare would fail to capture the weight of her joy. She once thought this day would never come. She thought it would remain only a dream, only in her imagination. She thought her memory of her first wedding—one that felt more like a funeral—would never be replaced. But now, her dream of a beach wedding came true. Her dream of walking down the aisle also came true. Finally, all of it came true. Who would have guessed that in the end, it would be Gian she would marry? Who would have thought the dramatic, playful Gian would turn into a real man? Who would have thought she would get married again? They went through so many struggles, so many trials, yet here they were—still standing strong. Yes, she forced Gian in the wrong way before, but it was her apology t
