Lahat ng Kabanata ng When Trouble Meets Mr. Perfect: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

Beckett~ “Tell me why you chose when my character is not even good according to you.” A lone tear escaped from her eye, her face turning red with every passing second, her breathing hard just like mine. Instant regret filled my veins. I shouldn’t have said that. “Are you fucking deaf… answer me, you stupid bastard.” My eyes squinted at her use of words for me. She doesn’t realise how much trouble she could get into for insulting me. Her big eyes glared at me through tears, her chin wobbling. Suddenly, she pulled me closer, our noses touching and lips brushed against each other. At this point we were breathing into each other’s mouths. I stayed there so close that one wrong inhale would fuse us together, my hand lifting, stopping just short of her waist. I could feel the heat of her body without touching her, could feel the way she leaned forward unconsciously. My lips grazed the corner of her mouth. She is beautiful. God, she is so beautiful that I can’t… I just

Krystalina~My hands trembled as I touched my cheek, warm tears falling from my eyes—big, fat tears dropping onto the floor. My breath stuttered.My parents never raised their hands on me, and this woman, whom I don’t even know, has slapped me in front of everyone.Humiliation burned inside me. I slowly looked at her, and a shiver of fear rolled down my spine at the hatred I caught in her eyes for me.Why does she hate me? Even if she hates me, she has no right to raise her hands on me.I don’t hit elderly people otherwise, she would have been on the floor. I will forgive her for this time. It’s fine. I can handle one slap.She stepped closer, eying me up and down. “Eyes down… don’t you dare to look straight into my eyes, you pathetic woman.”My fist clenched, but I kept my gaze intact, not backing down either.“You must have had some misunderstanding, mother,” I said.Her lips curled in disgust. “Misunderstanding?” she scoffed harshly. “Women like you are born to ruin families. Don’t

Krystalina~Has he fallen in love with me?I shake my head in denial. No… no… no, just because he has been behaving gently with me doesn’t mean he loves me.He is just trying to be human because I am sick.It’s been four days since I caught a bad fever because of my stupidity. Though the fever has died down a lot, the weakness is still there. Every limb of my body hurts like a bitch.The last thing I remember of that night was him growling at me and then someone injecting something into my body.I came down from our room to eat something. It’s already night, and he has not come back from the office to make Liang Xu feed me some green porridge.I can freely eat waffles and a burger now. I mean, I am half Latina; my immune system needs something spicy to get better.“Here is your food parcel…” I handed the money to Layson, who brought me my favourite takeaway from the main city.I bribed the young gardener with extra money. He was so scared because he feared he might lose his job, but I

Krystalina~A white polka-dot blazer, a plain white corset underneath, and white flared trousers paired with bright red stilettos, with M·A·C ruby-red lipstick coating my lips.I smacked my lips together and put the lipstick into my red YSL bag for touch-ups, just in case. I grabbed my Hooker Rose perfume and sprayed it on the sensitive spot on my neck and on my wrists. That’s it.It has been my most-complimented perfume, created by my abuela, who sends it to me in bulk every six months.Though I still don’t like her, the poor woman is just trying to make up for lost time.I took a deep breath and moved my feet to walk out of the room. If I get this job, I won’t have to bear my evil mother-in-law anymore, and I will finally be able to send some white money to my mom.I subtly walked out of the mansion. Warm sunrays caressed my body—finally, Mr Sun had decided to show up after a torturous fifteen days.My Uber was already waiting outside the gates. I swiftly got in, and the car rolled

Beckett~She is delicate.She is naïve.She is stupid.She is so immature that she thought a big firm like Forrest & Forrest would hire an inexperienced fresher like her.But it's not her fault. She is just a young girl trying to make it in the real world. And my brother thought he could take advantage of her.I will never let it happen. I will protect her with my life, even after we are divorced and have nothing to do with each other.Because she is my responsibility now.I stared at her picture on my phone, the one my brother sent me with a message, “Her lips are beautiful.” on it.Her eyes looked hopeful for a bright future, and her red lips stretched into a wide smile, not knowing the ulterior motives of my brother.A raw possessiveness burned inside me, and I deleted the message. Those lips… God, I detest her so much. I dislike those big blue eyes of hers, I dislike those two curled strands framing her face all the time, and those lips…Even her mere presence near me gives me a h
