Marry Me, Mistress Chapter 6: New Beginning
"Welcome to Badian Island, Hija!"I was surprised when someone hung a flower necklace on me when I arrived. I wonder because they happily welcome whoever comes to their Island. Mostly the elderly.An old man grabbed my arm."I know you're confused hija, but this is how we greet our guests. Are you from the city, Hija?"I immediately shook my head and saw the young man placing my suitcase on the sand near me."No," I answered. "I'm also from Badian."I looked around the whole Island and I can say that it is clean and beautiful. Abundant in the sea, also abundant in the trees. I can say it's like paradise."What are you doing here, hija?"I turned to the old man who was still looking at me. I noticed that his hair is white and his skin is a bit wrinkled but it is still undeniable that he is a beautiful old man. Maybe, she was beautiful when she was young."I'm here to find a job," I admitted. "Besides, I want to live quietly. I think this is a good place for me.""Really?" he asked happ
Marry Me, Mistress Chapter 7: Surprised Guest
"Tori, are you going to work?"I stopped putting on my shoes when Aunt Merna asked me. He was holding the broom while looking at me."Yes," I answered and walked towards the gate after putting on my shoes. "I'm early today because there are many guests coming.""Zellor?" I was stunned when the gate opened and turned to Tiya."Sleep," I answered politely and opened the gate. "There is milk ready on the table. Give him a drink when he cries.""You can count, hija." She smiled at me and went back to sweeping.Who is Zellor? He is one of the reasons why I still can't forget him. Zellor is the result of Steven and I's sin and what he said that I might be pregnant came true.I accepted my son with all my heart and I did not imitate my mother who almost hated me. I don't want my child to experience what I experienced. Steven didn't know we had a child. Why should I say more? I'm the one who wants to stay away from him. You just found out I'm pregnant here. And I can't forget him that easily
Marry Me, Mistress Chapter 8: Secret Child
I didn't work overtime. I told Ma'am Emma that I won't be long and I just excused my daughter to send me home. I don't want to stay in a place where I know Steven is nearby. And it's true that my son needs me.I didn't stay far away from him to be honest. Badian Island is not far from Moalboal. I just couldn't run far and I didn't expect that there was Zellor in my stomach then. I still love Steven until now. I just don't want to mess up my already quiet life again. I am suffering for my sin. I don't want to sin again and my child is more important.So many ideas came to my mind that just made my head hurt. Steven's family is not an ordinary family. They're millionaires, businessmen, and politicians. They are the people whose lives are very private without much media exposure. They're too powerful.But if I will lose my son, I don't know. No matter how powerful they are, I will fight them. I won't let him have my son if he finds out. I will fight for my son because he is my only hope
Marry Me, Mistress Chapter 9: Bad News
It's been a week since that happened and I haven't heard from him. Joel said he left. My heart ached and I knew why. I pushed him away myself. I pushed him away so why am I hurt?No woman wants to be a hooker.I never dreamed of that. I love him so much and it will only stay that way. If I have to lie all the time, I will do it just to keep him away from me forever. So it's a good thing he's gone so I can go back to my normal nervousness. I am a sinful woman. I grew up disowned by my mother. Growing up with so many judgmental people around me. I can live alone. I can live without a man. I can take good care of myself. I accepted my own mistake and walked away.Saturday, my day-off.I thought of taking my son to the market. We only do this once in a while and now is my chance to bond with my son.I put an angry birds hat on my son and then picked him up. I wore a simple white floral dress and let my hair down to my shoulders."Be careful!" Aunt Merna waved as we were at the gate.I tur
Marry Me, Mistress Chapter 10: Deal and Conditions
"Jusko, I don't know what to do!" Aunt Merna cried while walking back and forth.I fixed my clothes because today I will make money with Steven. I tightened the tie in my hair and swallowed while looking in front of the mirror. I still can't believe that he had such a plan. Why? Does he have a hidden agenda? Why do people need to be evicted? Is he that greedy for his land?I looked at Tiya who is still anxious. "Aunt Merna, just calm down," I said while adjusting the collar of my dress. "Everything will be fine. I'm sure you won't leave this island."He nodded and sat in the chair.He cupped his forehead and turned to me nodding. "I hope so, Qotorie. Because if not, many people will be affected, especially the children. We know that the land was just loaned to us, I just can't believe that the owner's son has already sold it."I can't help feeling sorry for them. Me, when I get kicked out, I'll have someone else to live with, but those who have been here for a long time, where can the
Marry Me, Mistress Chapter 11: Back again
"I will temporarily stay in the island. Maybe at the Casa Resort."I glanced at him while I was eating. I saw that he was done and was just looking at me. Every time I took a bite, it was as if he was watching over me, so I suddenly vomited.I sat down and immediately reached for a glass of water and drank it. But, I almost spit out my drink when he suddenly stood up and walked towards me. I almost held my breath when he gently patted my back while I continued coughing and rubbing my neck.When I looked up at him, our eyes met. I was about to avoid it when he suddenly grabbed my chin and made me face him. I gasped because of what he did and my heart was racing again."Tsk!"The side of his lips lifted and took a tissue from the table while wiping the side of my lips. His lips twitched because of what he did. He also took the glass in my hand and placed it on the table."Tsk, you're still a baby, huh?" He laughed and continued. "I also have some business to attend so we will see each o
Marry Me, Mistress Chapter 12: Sacrifice
I was nervous as I headed to the second floor. Is this the beginning? I had so many questions but I knew I couldn't ask him.I want to say so much but I stop myself from saying it. I have been through a lot in life. When will I be happy? That real fun, not just for a moment.I don't want to face Steven anymore.I don't want him to know that I still love him. I swallowed when I got to room 14. I took a deep breath before knocking on the door a third time."House Keeping!" I tried to raise my voice even though the nervousness was still there.My lips parted and I backed away slightly as the door opened. The towel-clad Steven appeared to me. Her hair was wet as the water flowed down her beautiful body. I swallowed again and looked up at him."Tsk, come here."He grinned and opened the door wide and then turned his back on me. I sighed and then followed him. When I was inside, I looked around the room and was almost disappointed when I saw that there was no clutter."Wait for a minute. I'
Marry Me, Mistress Chapter 13: Secret Relationship
"I'm going to work, Aunt Merna," I kissed my daughter's cheek in farewell."Alright, hija! Be careful!" He waved.I smiled at them before leaving the house. Good thing a tricycle passed right away so I didn't have to wait any longer."Let's go," I said to Manong driver when I sat down.What happened yesterday came back to my mind. He hugged me and kept saying sorry. As if he had a deeper reason. I'm also thinking about what to do. I don't want him to call me all the time because we are gossiping and my work might be affected.When I arrived at the resort, I paid the fare and then got off the tricycle. I looked at the tourists I met and bowed slightly. I went through the back to make it easier to get to the locker room where my uniform was. When I arrived, I immediately opened my locker to get the uniform and started to get dressed. I just stopped fixing my hair when I saw Jamaica walk in and go to her locker."So..." He raised an eyebrow at me while glancing over me."How is life as a
