All Chapters of The Runaway Girlfriend of the Billionaire's Son: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

The classroom was unusually quiet for a weekday afternoon.Kent sat alone at the teacher’s desk, a stack of papers spread in front of him. Lesson plans, worksheets, and schedules he was supposed to finish weeks ago were all there, untouched. But his mind wasn’t on any of it.His pen hovered over the paper, unmoving, while empty lines stared back at him like they were waiting for answers he didn’t have.He exhaled slowly and finally set the pen down. Nothing was making sense anymore.Si Mae lang.The name came uninvited, like it always did. He leaned back in his chair and rubbed a hand over his face.Almost a month.No update. No confirmation. No closure. Just silence.And that silence was starting to feel heavier than bad news.The door creaked open. Kent didn’t look up at first.“Hoy, damulag! Busy ka pa ba?” Vanessa’s voice asked.He finally glanced at her. “Not really.”She stepped inside and closed the door behind her. There was something different about her today. She looked less

Kent checked the time.It was 12:47 AM.It was too early to relax, yet too late to hesitate.He grabbed his bag, slung it over his shoulder, and took one last look around his apartment. Everything looked the same, the furniture untouched, the silence undisturbed, but he knew that something within him would not be the same when he returned.If he returned the same at all.He exhaled slowly before turning off the lights.The city felt different at night. It was quieter, but not calm.There was still movement of cars passing by, distant voices echoing, and the low hum of Manila that never truly slept.Kent sat behind the wheel, his fingers gripping the steering wheel tighter than necessary. Vanessa sat beside him, unusually silent for once. Parang pati pagiging madaldal ni Vanessa ay na-stress din.“Relax ka lang,” she muttered after a while. “Hindi ka makakarating kung ganyan ka ka-tense.”“I’m fine,” Kent replied.But he was not. His eyes remained fixed on the road, but his thoughts we

Kent did not stop. Mas binilisan pa niya ang paglalakad para makahanap ulit ng puwedeng pagtanungan.The higher part of the island was noticeably quieter. There were fewer people, fewer houses, and more space between them. The path narrowed as it stretched forward, lined with trees that blocked most of the sunlight and cast uneven shadows on the ground.“Parang hindi na ito residential,” Vanessa whispered.Kent did not respond. He remained focused. With every step, he felt closer, but also heavier, as if something unseen was waiting ahead.They reached a fork in the path. There were no signs and no directions. There was only silence.Kent paused and looked around, scanning both paths carefully as he tried to decide which way to take.“May hinahanap ba kayo?”The voice came from behind them. It sounded calm and unfamiliar, yet firm enough to make both of them turn immediately.A man stood a few steps away.He wore simple clothes, with his sleeves slightly rolled up. There was nothing o

Nagising si Mae sa mahina ngunit pamilyar na tunog ng alon na humahampas sa dalampasigan. Habang tumatagal ay nagiging comfortable na rin siya sa lugar na ‘to. Parang bumabalik ang saya niya tuwing nandito sila ng Mama niya para magbakasyon dito. Iba nga lang ngayon dahil hindi bakasyon ang pinunta niya.Parang parusa.Ilang sandali siyang nanatiling nakahiga, nakatitig sa kisame habang unti-unting bumabalik sa kamalayan niya ang lahat. Kung nasaan siya, kung bakit siya naroon, at kung ano ang pilit niyang tinatakasan sa isip niya.Dahan-dahan siyang bumangon at naupo sa gilid ng kama. Kusang napunta ang isang kamay niya sa kanyang tiyan, marahang hinaplos iyon na para bang doon siya kumukuha ng lakas.“Good morning baby,” mahina niyang bulong.Tumayo siya at lumapit sa salamin. Sandali siyang napatigil habang pinagmamasdan ang sarili, ang mukha niyang bahagyang maputla, ang mga matang tila kulang sa pahinga, at ang katahimikang hindi niya maipaliwanag.Unti-unti niyang inangat ang la

“Why didn’t you tell me?”His voice lingered between them, soft but heavy, as though the question carried everything he had been holding back. Mae tried to answer, but the moment she opened her mouth, her breath hitched. Her chest tightened, and the pressure she had been holding in for days suddenly became too much.“I…” she began, but her voice broke.She looked down, her vision starting to blur as tears filled her eyes. She could not hold it in anymore.“I couldn’t,” she said, her voice trembling.Kent frowned slightly. “Couldn’t… or you didn’t want to?”There was pain in his voice. Mae shook her head quickly.“No… Kent, it’s not like that,” she said, her voice starting to crack more visibly now.She tried to steady herself, but the tears were already falling. “You don’t understand,” she continued, her breathing uneven.“Then make me understand,” Kent said, stepping closer. His voice was not harsh, but it was desperate. “I’ve been looking for you everywhere. I didn’t know where yo
