Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 101: Trapped 2
Belle cursed under her breath when she accidentally dropped her bag on the elevator's floor. Kusa niya iyong nabitiwan dahil sa dumulas iyon sa ngayon ay pawisan na niyang mga kamay. They had been stuck the lift for some time now kaya naman nagpapawis na siya.She knelt down on the floor annoyed. Isa-isa niyang pinulot ang mga gamit niyang nagkalat at gigil iyong muling isinuksok sa bag niya. Tumulong din si Zyrone.Ilang sandali pa nakita nito ang keyholder niya. He looked at it for a while before lifting his gaze at her. "Who's Lillie?" tanong nito.Kumurap siya, sandaling nag-isip. "M-my daugther," sabi niya bago marahang kinuha sa kamay nito ang gamit niya. He smiled, a poignant one. "How old is she?"Tumayo siya at muling bumalik sa puwesto niya, sa kabilang dingding ng lift, opposite Zyrone's. "S-she's two," alanganin niyang sagot. He doesn't need to know that Lillie is turning three in 3 months. Tumango-tango ito. Sandaling natahimik. "Just after..." bulong nito. Hindi siya
Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 102: Plea
Wala sa sariling pinagmamasdan ni Belle ang mga nagkikislapang mga ilaw sa ‘di kalayuan. Mula sa penthouse niya, tanaw na tanaw niya ang halos kabuuan ng siyudad. Malapit nang maghatinggabi subalit masigla pa rin sa pagkislap ang mga ilaw—tila walang kapaguran.Hindi gaya niya, pagod, upos at nanghihina. She had been like that since Zyrone left her inside that lift. She needed a good minute or two to collect herself after their encounter. At nang makarating siya sa sasakyan niya, she just broke down and cry. She was so confused and hurt. Kung paano siya nakapag-drive pauwi nang nasa ganoong estado, hindi niya alam.She was so distraught. She never wanted to be near him. How much more to be stuck with him in the blasted elevator!Mabilis niyang dinala sa bibig niya ang baso ng alak na hawak niya. Gumuhit ang pait niyon sa lalamunan niya. But it was not enough to make her forget of the way Zyrone has affected her still.She was done with him. Zyrone was pain. And she should flee from hi

“How are you?” tanong ni Eliseo kay Belle. She turned to the car’s window and watched the road outside. It was Eliseo’s routine every day—to call her while she’s on the way to her office. Nasa Bulacan pa ito at talagang ine-enjoy ang pahinga nito. And she wants him to do so.In few weeks time, Eliseo will be turning 75. And she knew, her grandfather would eventually be too weak to oversee their company. Kaya naman talagang doble-kayod siya sa pagta-trabaho. Sa umaga, nasa PSC siya. Sa hapon naman, ang atensiyon niya nasa Prime Mall. She had a lot of things in her hands now. But that’s just how things should be.She’s now the Interim CEO of PSC. Things are different now. Kung noon, halos wala siyang ginagawa sa kompanya kundi ang mag-obserba o magbigay lang ng advice kay Eliseo, iba na ngayon. All things that needed decisions are directed to her.And she doesn’t want to miss anything that needed her attention in the company. Because only by making sure that everything is settled at w
Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 104: Plea 3
Naghihimagsik ang kalooban na pinagmamasdan ni Belle ang proposal na nasa harapan niya. It was the proposal given by Zyrone to Mr. Padilla. Apparently, the Craigs had been talking to the Padillas about their proposal of renting a part of the property where the Prime Mall will be built.That was the reason why Zyrone met with Mr. Padilla yesterday morning. He presented the full proposal to them first because he knew if he’d come to her or to Eliseo, she’ll reject it right away. Of course she would! She doesn’t want him in her life, mapa-personal man o sa trabaho.And yet… somehow the jerk’s preposterous proposal made a way to reach her through one of the best business allies of Eliseo, Mr. Padilla.She released a slow breath, trying to calm her nerves.“The proposal is good, Isabelle. The Craigs are right that with this collaboration, we can maximize the location of the property. What do you think?” ani Mr. Inocencio sa kanya, isa rin asa mga board of directors.She's now in the confer
Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 105: Private Talk
Belle anxiously looked at her reflection on the mirror. She was wearing her branded little black dress, diamond stud earrings and light make-up. She looked… perfect given the place and occasion where she’s going to. But perfect is so far from what she's feeling right now. Maybe because tonight, she will finally talk to Zyrone for one final time like how he’d put it in words. One final time, pag-uulit niya sa isip. Nang um-oo siya noong isang araw na payag na siyang makipag-usap dito, humiling siya ng panahon para paghandaan ang pagkikita nila. She wanted to compose herself and gather her wits. She wanted to make sure that she’d behave like how she’s supposed to—an ex wife who had been living the best days of her life since she’d left him. Because as she sees it and given the many chance encounters she had with him, her stupid heart is not over yet with Zyrone.And so she wanted to be sure that she will not expose herself when they would finally talk. She had rehearsed every damn sce
Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 106: Private Talk 2
Nanlalaki ang mga mata ni Belle na muling bumaling kay Zyrone. “What did you do? Bakit mo inutusang lumabas ang bodyguard ko?” gigil niyang sabi. Panic now racing in her veins. Why wouldn’t she? She’s alone with Zyrone… again! “What is so with the private matters we will be talking about that--“ Mabilis na tumayo si Zyrone at hinawakan ang braso niya. Gulat siyang napatingala dito. “C’mon, let’s go,” anito bago siya marahang hinila patayo. Lalo siyang naguluhan. “A-anong let’s go?” “We will talk to some other place,” anito, habang hila siya patungo sa isang pinto sa dulo ng silid. Napasinghap na siya, lalong tinambol ng kaba ang dibdib. Anong pinagsasabi nitong mag-uusap sila sa ibang lugar? They agreed to talk there! Bakit ito nagdedesisyon nang mag-isa? But the more important question is, saang lupalop na naman ng Pilipinas siya nito dadalhin? “No! We will talk here!” reklamo niya, pilit pang piniksi ang kamay nito na nakahawak sa palapulsuhan niya. He didn’t reply, he just
Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 107: Private Talk 3
“This is really good food, as always, Aling Imelda,” ani Zyrone sa ale na siya mismong nagsilbi ng mga pagkain nila. She had learned that Zyrone rented the whole place for tonight. It seemed he really planned to bring her there despite their earlier agreement on where to meet.Ngumiti lang ang ale bago bumaling sa kanya. “Natutuwa ako sa nangyari sa buhay mo, Belle. Salamat at nagawi ka ulit dito sa atin. Mabuti pa itong Zyrone paglagi dito,” umpisa ng matanda. “Sige na, kumain na kayo,” dugtong pa nito, muling ngumiti bago tuluyang naglakad pabalik sa puwesto nito.Marami nang nagbago kay Aling Imelda kagaya rin ng karinderya nito. Kung noon, lumang daster at apron lang ang suot nito, ngayon naka-slacks na ito at blouse na magandang klase. The older lady was now also wearing light lipstick and gold earrings. The place is no different. Well-ventilated na iyon dahil sa mga electric fans sa dingding. Pati ang mga silya at mesa, nagbago na rin. It seemed the whole place has gone through
Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 108: Too Late
Hindi mapakali si Belle habang naghihintay siya sa waiting area ng ER ng Angelicum Hospital. Malakas ang pagtiktak ng orasan sa tainga niya. Nakikisabay iyon sa pagkabog ng dibdib niya. The past hour has been replaying in her mind in an endless loop. She was trying to recall any clue that could lead her to the reason of the predicament Zyrone was in. Subalit para siyang na-blangko. Wala siyang maalala maliban na lamang sa mga masasakit na sinabi niya kay Zyrone. And now she felt guilty for her words.She’s guilty and confused… and afraid. Afraid for the life of the man she loved and hate at the same time.Kanina, nang marating nila ang ospital, halos talunin niya ang palabas ng kotse. Zyrone has been groaning through gritted teeth the whole time of their travel. And she doesn’t know why! Not that she didn’t ask. She did. Multiple times. But Zyrone was too deep in pain that all her questions were left unanswered.Kaya naman nang tanungin siya ng mga hospital staff kanina sa ER, halos w
