Forget About Me, Billionaire 58: Truth
CHRISTY:Everette kept on looking at me and for once, I wanted to take back the words I said to him earlier. It was embarrassing and scary at the same time. I did not want him to think that I was using his money for our family’s benefit. But what I was doing was already proof that I was taking advantage of his wealth.What if…what if…I mentally shook my head. One step at a time. I had to think of one problem at the same time. If not, I would burst. “What would you use it for?” he asked, giving his full attention to me. He scratched the side of his neck.I groaned internally. Did he know I would be giving it to Mom?Don’t overthink, Christina. It was only between you and your Mom.I shifted in my seat as I looked for words on how to tell him. I would rather not say that Mom was blackmailing me so that I would give her money.“I’m…I’m planning on starting a business soon. It was only an initial estimate and I might have asked for more. You can add it to our debt, Everette. I woul
Forget About Me, Billionaire 59: A Couple of Years Ago
CHRISTY:Eden did not love Everette. That was the biggest surprise I experienced so far. Was there someone incapable of loving someone like him? He was the most ideal man I had ever encountered and not falling for him was one of the biggest mistakes someone could ever make. He was a complete package!“Can you believe it, kitten?” he asked. “My family would never understand why she did not fall for me. And I was too. I mean what should I do so that she will fall for me?”It was an unrequited love, but the amount of love Everette poured towards Eden despite knowing it wouldn’t be reciprocated was beyond comprehension.There was no difference between you and Everette. You both loved a person whom you could never love truly.Still…it was a shock that Eden did not love him at all. That was…surprising given the qualities that this man possessed.“Maybe…she loved someone else and really treated you like her brother.”He went back to his chair and put his hands under his chin. “Why is that?
Forget About Me, Billionaire 60: Dad
CHRISTY:The money had been transferred to me a few years ago, but I had not informed Mom about the money. I was still debating on what I should do with it whether to give it to her or not. She won't stop calling and I could sense her desperation. I did not think it was something about Dad. I was always monitoring his condition through the nurses and doctors. “What are you up to now, Mom?” I mumbled to myself as I stepped out of my car. I never brought John with me and told him not to tell Everette about this.I pulled over to my parent’s parking lot and the maid automatically met me when she saw me. Now that I realize it, the house that holds so many memories of my childhood and Ben became even lonely. There was nothing worth remembering in this house no matter how grand it was.“Miss Christy!”“Where is Mom?”She averted her gaze and went back to me. “She went somewhere else, Miss Christy. But she said that she will be back.”“She left Dad’s side?”“He has his nurse with him.”“
Forget About Me, Billionaire 61: Truth?
CHRISTY:Like a slow motion, I faced the newcomer. Mom. Compared to Dad, she became even younger from the last time I saw her. It looked like she did something to her body or went under the knife to become even more beautiful. What the heck was happening to her? She was not like this particularly when it came to her physical appearance. What if she would only spend the money on beautifying herself? For her own selfish reasons? "You don't have to fight our daughter."Mom scoffed. "Daughter? Why are you suddenly acting like a saint? You never wanted her, either. I remember how you said she was fat and was nothing to what you expected from your other child."Dad looked at me with a guilty expression…Funny how it was not painful compared to how Mom treated me. “If you did not want me in the first place, why did you even give birth to me?”Mom’s lips pressed into a thin line. “Why don't you ask your Dad? It was him who told me to have another child.”From the very beginning, I was
Forget About Me, Billionaire 62: Family Dinner
CHRISTY:Mom knew about Eden from the start, yet I did not know anything about it. No one had bothered to tell me the truth except now. They had kept me in the dark, which was painful. In the end, I was only used by Everette, Mom, and my family. My lips quivered even if I wanted to hide the surprise on my face. And she had a smug look on her face.“W-What do you know about Eden?”Mom threw back her head and burst out laughing. “See? You did not know that I know about Eden,” she declared after laughing so much while wiping the tears from her eyes. This was the first time she was happy beacuse of my statement.Mom shook her head. “Poor Christina. You never know anything about the man whom you professed who loved you.” The mirth in her eyes was suddenly gone in an instant. “I know my husband very well,” I defended.What do you know about him?Aside from what I learned when he was Rett and other snippets of his life when we got married, I knew nothing anymore. Mom lifted my chin and f
Forget About Me, Billionaire 63: Inheritance
CHRISTY:My eyes darted to Everette whose expression darkened for a moment before it was gone. Will Everette lose the inheritance if he has a divorce? I never knew that might happen. I looked at Everette. How could he not tell me about that? And he agreed that we will sign the divorce agreement after six months? I did not believe he did not care about the money. He would lose a lot. “Good. We are already clear about that. That includes you, Everette, and Christina.” Clara watched me under intense stare and for a moment, I felt self-conscious. It seemed like my husband had been hiding a lot from me. First, it was Eden. This marriage and now losing the inheritance. “Everette? Christina?” Clara asked when not one of us had answered her. “Yes, Mom. My wife and I won't be getting a divorce.” Everette pulled my hand and showed it to the family. “My wife and I will be with each other until our death. I will not be the first one who will have a divorce in this family.” He pressed a ki
Forget About Me, Billionaire 64: Why?
CHRISTY:Why would Mom cheat on Dad? She completely forgot she had children and now she had another man in her life?“T-that's impossible,” I said in disbelief. “Mom would never do that.” But then again, did Mom loved Dad that much?If she loved your Dad, she would never leave his side. Remember the last time you visited your house? She was not there. She was even mad when you visited your dad. “That is true. Why would I lie? You call me a liar?” “Mom! That's enough! Don't embarrass my wife like this!” Everette's voice boomed across the banquet. Everyone held their breath watching Everette's dark expression. A lump formed in my throat. He was too true to his promise that he would protect me under their judgemental eyes. Everette's hands snaked around my waist and brought me close to his body. “No one would bully my wife like this. Not even you, Mom.” A shiver ran down my spine. He was willing to wage war against his family for my sake?My chest tightened. Why would he do this
Forget About Me, Billionaire 65: Date?
CHRISTY:Everette's forehead knotted, then laughed to cover the awkwardness in the air. "Love you? Why would I love you, kitten? I thought we already talked about your purpose in this marriage.""I love you, Everette," I confessed. “I love you, you hear me?”I wished the ground would swallow me whole when he only stared at me with a bewildered expression. Dammit. Was it a mistake that I confessed to him or not? Was it too soon? Everette and you had already known each other for a couple of months already. It was when we were in Swiped. My hands shook, and I wanted to run away from him and hide after this confession. But no. I won't be a coward and face him.My breathing labored. "Y-you love me? Kitten...why?"My feet went cold. That's the only thing that he could say? My explanation? "Why? You're asking me why I loved you? Isn't it obvious already? You're my ideal man. And you were right. You set a standard for me. So please don't tell me not to love someone else."I easily fel
