Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 82: Prelude To The Future 2
Malalim na ang gabi subalit hindi pa rin makatulog si Belle. Stupid as it might be, she cannot stop thinking about the scene she witnessed this afternoon. Was Zyrone really that happy not seeing her? Kung ang pagbabasehan ay ang lakas ng pakikipaghalakhakan nito kay Grace kanina, mukhang wala nga talaga itong pakiaalam kung makita siya nito o hindi-- kabaliktaran ng nararamdaman niya. Hindi niya alam kung pregnancy hormones lang ‘yon o ano, but she terribly longs for husband's presence near her. No matter how harsh he was treating her right now, her stubborn heart still knew what it needs, her husband. Kanina, matapos niyang mag-iiyak dahil sa nasaksihan niyang eksena, she ended up throwing up in the bathroom twice. And after she had thrown out all that were inside her gut, there is still only one place she wanted to seek comfort in, in her husband’s arms. It took her a great amount of self-control for her not to barge in at Zyrone’s room and beg for his embrace. Just one embrace f
Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 83: Hands Of Grief
Zyrone was cursing under his breath when he reached his room. He had met Belle yet again! This time, face to face. Later that afternoon, he had caught a glimpse of her when he was with Grace. Grace was relating one funny story from their childhood and he didn’t contain his laugh. That’s when she saw Belle leaving his grandmother’s room. And just like when she saw her earlier that day, it took every ounce of strength in his being not to grab her by the waist and kiss her luscious lips to his heart’s content. “Dammit!” He hissed before he stripped off his clothes and went straight to the shower. His getting a full hard-on just by thinking about his wife. And he knew he’d only make a bigger fool out of himself if he’d allow his body to give in to its need. Belle lied to him. Bigtime. What she did is unforgivable. I cannot trust her anymore, he said to himself as he continued to douse his body with the cool water from the shower, in the hopes to drown out his need. When he received t
Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 84: Hands Of Grief
Tahimik na pinapakinggan ni Belle ang final rites ng pari para sa labi ni Grandma Eve. They were at the mausoleum of the family located at the private area of the cemetery. Nakapuwesto siya sa likuran ng kumpol ng mga tao na nakikipaglibing sa matanda. She cannot riksk herself to go infront together with the Craigs. Ayaw niyan magkaroon na naman ng eksena. Libing na iyon ng matanda. It should go as peacefully as it should.Hindi gaya ng nakaraang ilang araw ng burol sa chapel na halos patayin siya ni Richard sa sama ng tingin at sa mga sarkastikong komento nito tungkol sa kanya. Itinataon nito ang pang-iinsulto sa kanya tuwing umaalis ito sa gabi at naiiwan siya upang magbantay sa chapel.Every day, the whole week of the wake, nag-iiwan si Richard ng insulto sa kanya tuwing umaalis ito. Insults which kept her mind pre-occupied for every sleepless night she had spent on the chapel together with the other house-helps.Kung hindi lang alang-alang kay Grandma Eve, matagal na siya siguron

“What?!” hindi makapaniwalang sigaw ni Richard sa narinig. Mabilis itong tumayo sa kinauupuan nito bago pinukol si Belle ng masamang tingin. “What was that lying bitch getting now?” sabi pa nito, tinuro siya.Richard’s voice boomed in the four-corners of the big room. And Belle was rendered speechless for some time. The fury she’s seeing in Richard’s eyes were beyond description. And she’s sure now, kung may plano man si Richard na saktan siya, tiyak na magtatagumpay ito dahil wala nang pipigil pa rito. Wala na si Grandma Eve. Zyrone could even barely look at her for the past half hour that they were there. She had not one. Wala na siyang kakampi.Mahigpit siyang napahawak sa arm rest ng kinauupuan niya. “Richard, let me finish reading the will of your mother,” anang abogado.“No! That will is fake! I won’t have any of that sham will unless that bitch of a stranger is taken out of it!” gigil na singhal ni Richard sa abogado.Hindi nakasagot ang abogado. Umiling lang ito at muling ni
Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 86: Bitter Truth 2
Marahang inilapag ni Belle ang dala-dala niyang bungkos ng bulaklak sa ibabaw ng marmol na puntod ni Grandma Eve. Sa loob ng halos mahigit isang buwan mula nang pumanaw ang matanda, hindi na niya alam kung ilang beses na siyang dumadalaw doon. That place is her only place of solace. Mugulo pa rin kasi sa mansiyon. Mainit pa rin ang dugo ni Richard sa kanya. At si Zyrone, malamig pa rin ang pakikitungo sa kanya.Miranda treats her well though, paminsan-minsan kapag hindi nito kasama si Richard. Maging si Estelita, mabait din sa kanya. The old maid still personally helps her with her everyday needs, just like when Grandma Eve was still alive. And she is content that despite of all the chaos of the past a month and a half, nakakasilip pa rin siya ng mumunting kabutihan sa mga kasama niya sa loob ng mansiyon.But sometimes, the mansion still gets too suffocating for her that she needed to get away from it for awhile. Kaya siya laging pumupunta sa puntod ni Grandma Eve. Gusto niyang magsum

I’ll be home tonight. See you. Belle bit her lower lip when a surge of happy feeling flooded her chest. She had been reading Zyrone’s message countless time since this morning. Subalit hindi pa rin mawala-wala ang kasiyahan sa dibdib niya.Uuwi na si Zyrone at sinabi nito sa kanya. Siguro umpisa na talaga ng pagkaka-ayos nila.For the past week that he was gone, her life had been somewhat easier. Since Richard is not present in the mansion, mas nalalapitan at nakakausap siya ngayon ni Miranda. Her mother-in-law had apologized to her in Richard and Zyrone’s behalf. Humiling ito nang mas malawak na pang-unawa sa kanya. Sinabi rin nito na hindi ito naniniwala sa pinapalabas ng anonymous sender ng pictures.Miranda said that she trusts her and that she must never allow the malicious pictures put an end on her marriage.She just silently agreed to what the old woman said. Kahit naman kasi hindi nito sabihin iyon sa kanya, ganoon pa rin ang gagawin niya. She cannot give up Zyrone. Mahal ni
Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 88: Lost
Mabilis ang mga kilos ni Belle. Sunod-sunod niyang ikinakarga ang mga personal na gamit niya sa overnight bag niya. Sinisiguro niya na ni isa, wala siyang maiiwan sa mga gamit niya sa impiyernong bahay na iyon. She was done being the good and understanding wife. If Zyrone didn’t want her anymore, then she’ll just leave and move on with her life. Sa totoo lang dapat matagal na niya iyong ginawa. Kaso nga lang, bulag siya. Tanga. Naniwala siya na sa pamamagitan ng pagtitiis niya sa piling ng asawa sa kabila ng magaspang na turing nito sa kanya, magagawa niyang ayusin ang gusot sa pagitan nila. She thought that throwing herself away completely would’ve done the job. But she was so wrong. Stupidly wrong! Zyrone has moved on… with Grace. She sobbed as another batch of tears fell from her eyes. Masakit na ang mata niya kakaiyak subalit ayaw tumigil ng luha niya. He heart hurts so much that should death would come knocking to her door, she’d gladly embrace it. Bahala na ang kasunod. B
Marry Me, Stranger Chapter 89: Lost 2
Tulala si Belle habang tinatanaw niya ang kadiliman ng gabi sa may bintana. Nasa ospital pa rin siya at naka-confine. She had been there for more than a day now. But the doctors said she needed to stay there for a few more days for observation. Isa pa, kailangan daw niyang magpalakas.Malakas sa pandinig niya ang mabibilis na yabag sa labas ng kuwarto niya, ang mahihinang pag-uusap ng mga kung sino, pati ang pagtiktak ng orasan sa dingding, naririnig din niya.Maingay ang paligid subalit tila wala siyang naririnig. Nalulunod kasi siya. Nalulunod siya sa mga kaganapan ng nakaraang araw na paulit-ulit na bumabalik sa kanyang isipan. Ang nasaksihan niyang paglabas ni Grace sa kuwarto ni Zyrone na halos hubo’t-hubad. Ang mabilis niyang pag-eempake ng mga gamit niya. Ang pagpirma niya sa disclaim at divorce papers nila ni Zyrone. Ang pamamaalam niya kay Estelita. Ang paglalakad niya sa mahabang daan palabas ng mansiyon. At ang sakit na naranasan ng katawan niya habang unti-unting nawawalan
