All Chapters of Secret Contract:The CEO is my Twins' unknown father: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

SEBASTIAN'S POV Serena's face was filled with confusion and uncertainty. It was almost as if she couldn't describe what she was feeling after hearing my grandmother's words. It wasn't a problem for me, of course. It was normal for newlyweds to share the same room after the wedding. I didn't know what kind of absurd thoughts Serena was having, but honestly, staying in the same room with her wouldn't make any difference. We'd simply act like a happily married couple, then go straight to sleep. That was the purpose of our contract. Earlier, during the interview, what I said was only half the truth. The part where I claimed I had been waiting for Serena was naturally a lie. I had never known this woman before. Our paths only crossed because of our arrangement. And if there was someone I had truly been waiting for all these years... It wasn't Serena. It wasn't Hazel. It was the woman I shared a hotel bed with six years ago. The same blurry woman whose real name I never learned. T

SERENA'S POV Hindi ko agad maibuka ang bibig ko. Para akong napahinto. Hindi ko na alam kung ano ang sasabihin. Para bang may kung anong humarang sa lalamunan ko. Tila pinigilan ako ng hangin na magsalita habang unti-unting bumibigat ang katahimikan sa pagitan naming dalawa. Inaasahan ko na ito. Alam kong posible talagang may mangyaring ganito. Na darating ang panahon na haharap kami sa usapin tungkol sa kapangyarihan at sa mga taong handang gawin ang lahat para lamang mapanatili iyon. Kahit sinabi na sa akin ni Sebastian ang mga nangyari. Kahit naintindihan ko ang paliwanag niya, may bahagi pa rin ng isip ko na hindi lubos na kampante. Para bang may mga salitang hindi pa niya sinasabi. Mga katotohanang itinago niya hindi dahil gusto niya akong lokohin, kundi dahil masyado iyong mabigat para basta na lang ilahad. Pero parang may kulang. Parang may isa pa akong gustong malaman. Isang katanungan na ayaw tumigil sa pag-ikot sa isip ko. Kahit ilang beses kong pilitin na balewalain iyo

SERENA'S POV Agad akong natunawan ng loob nang mapagtanto ang sitwasyon. Halata namang nakikinig sila sa labas. Hindi ko alam kung bakit kailangan pa nilang gawin iyon, pero alam ko ang pakay nila. "Hayst, nakakahiya," bulong ko habang napahilamos sa mukha. "I'm asking," sabi pa ni Sebastian. "What are the two of you doing here?" "Naku, Sebastian. Dumaan lang naman kami," sabi pa ng tiyahin niya. "But it doesn't look like so." "Sebastian, huwag ka namang masyadong tense. Dumaan lang talaga kami." "At this hour?" "Alam mo naman ang lola mo. Minsan bumabalik ang insomnia." "Geez." Napahilamos si Sebastian sa mukha habang mariing ipinikit ang mga mata niya. Bahagya siyang napabuntong hininga na para bang pilit niyang kinokontrol ang inis na unti unting umaakyat sa kaniya. Pinisil niya ang pagitan ng mga kilay niya bago muling tumingin sa dalawa, kalmado ang mukha ngunit halatang nagtitimpi. "Nga pala, apo. Bakit ka lalabas?" tanong pa ng lola niya. "Serena is in pain. Her feet

SEBASTIAN'S POV I walked slowly towards her. Every step I took was calm and measured, matching the emotions I had long forced myself to bury. My face remained unreadable, yet beneath that composed exterior was a storm that refused to settle. Even though I had already chosen to forget about the past, it kept coming back every time my eyes met Hazel's. It was as if those memories had never truly left. I knew they had always been there, buried somewhere deep inside me. I simply chose to ignore them for the sake of my ambition. The ambition that wasn't for me, but for my parents. I really hoped Hazel would bring me important information about my aunt. I was also curious about how she had managed to obtain the information she has now. I really hoped it would make sense because coming here just to meet another woman was already troublesome for me. I pulled the chair back and sat down like the dominant man I had become. My posture was firm, my expression cold, and my presence alone co

SEBASTIAN'S POV I planted both of my hands on the desk in my office, my head hanging low as the video Hazel had shown me an hour ago kept replaying inside my mind. Again. And again. Every second felt heavier than the last. The dizziness slowly crept in, making it difficult to think straight. The moment our meeting ended, I had driven straight to the company without wasting another second. The entire office had become a mess. Stacks of documents were scattered across the floor, folders lay open with their contents spilling out, and several archive boxes remained half-empty after I had searched through them in frustration. Files that had once been arranged alphabetically were now piled carelessly on my desk. Some pages had crumpled after being thrown aside the moment I realized they weren't what I was looking for. A single name. That was all I needed. Yet no matter how many files I searched through, I couldn't find it. 1 HOUR AGO Hazel slowly took her cellphone out of her bag
