Chapter 48 Nass I HOPPED out of the car when Caine opened up the door for me. He kept his eyes glued to my thighs, and then, he shook his head. Kanina pa siya tingin nang tingin sa akin at wala na naman siyang imik. Kabisado ko na iyon, that’s the way he acts when he’s pleased. “You like what you see?” I spun myself around in front of him and hooked my arm on his arm. He shakes his head. “I love what I see,” He told me and followed it with a light smile. Sus, as if naman hindi niya ako nakikita na laging ganito. “Hindi ka na nagagalit na ganito ang suot ko?” Umiling siya, “It’s you and I must accept it. I just need to protect you if some men try to show some lack of refinement and coarse attitude toward you.” I pressed my cheek on his arm, “Ang sweet naman.” “So far, I may be so lucky to have a girl who still looks so respectable though she wears sexy clothes like these shits.” He added. I giggled. Wala naman nga sa akin nagtatangka pang mambastos sa tanan ng buhay ko. Ever
Chapter 49 Nass HE WAS halfway done with his speech and I was starting to feel nervous. He has been thanking all the people who had been there for his success, that's why I knew that the moment to the truth was near. No dancing for us tonight, that's for sure. Oh no. I want to dance with him but I was expecting him to get mad. I bit the inner of my lower lip and chewed it but I was stunned when he spoke again. "I wanted to thank the special girl who had been my inspiration since then and now," He didn't just look at me; he fixed his eyes on me, "The only family that I have, the only friend that I have, my bestfriend since she was born in this world, the only girl who owns the Major General, my best girl and my woman," he beckoned his hand at me, "Miss Clariz Nassandra de Lorenzo, my princess, my girl,” He said. That made me widen my eyes and froze on my seat. Oh gosh. I never expected this. I mean, I was expecting that he would thank me but not to mention that I am his woman. Oh
Chapter 49.1 Caine MY system isn't functioning well. I can feel my muscles tensing. The nerve with this kid! Nagawa ba talaga niya ang kalokohan na ito? After all this time it was that old man over the phone? And how did she manage to get his number? Jesus fucking mercy! She's really clever and really strong headed brat. Now what? I have to endure that man's speech for if I am going to walk out of this shit, that will mean I am walking out of Nassandra's life, too? Holy mother of fucker! What the heck has gotten into her? Sinapian na naman siya ng kalokohan niya. How dare her told me that? But despite my anger, I couldn't still walk out. Baka totohanin niya ang kanyang sinabi. I could take much more of this not just to let her go. Bwisit siya! Ngayon hindi na ako makawala sa kanya. "Damn it!" I murmured. "Stop cursing. I could hear you. Would you lend him your ears, please?" She sneered at me and I swore to fuck I wanted to bite her tongue. She's being so sassy again. Kaya pala
Chapter 50 Nass I took another twirl in front of the mirror with a very beautiful smile plastered on my very beautiful face. Caine was watching me from the door, where he was leaning on the doorjamb like a member of the jury, scrutinizing me. He keeps on glancing at his expensive wristwatch from time to time, and then will fold his massive arms over his broad chest. I've noticed that it was the only wristwatch that he had. Mula nang magkaisip ako ay kakambal na niya ang relo na suot niya, at dalaga na ako pero hindi pa rin iyon napapalitan. I've asked him if it has a sentimental value and he said yes, it was given to him by a woman. Halos mag-ala Gabriela Silang pa ako sa pagpapapaamin kung sino ang bwisit na babae pero tawa lang siya nang tawa kahapon, si Mommy lang pala. Nauto pa niya ako. He looks so very yummy today in his pink long sleeves. Kailan lang parang sukang-suka siya sa pink na damit pero kahapon lang ay nag-shopping pa kaming dalawa at halos puro pink ang binili niya
Chapter 50.1 Nass Hilerang mga gazebo ang sumalubong sa mga mata ko. I noticed a woman waving at me. I smiled when I saw Rechel. I started walking toward her when my phone beeped and it was a message from Caine. I love you, my Queen. I beamed broadly and tried to brush away that fear that was gripping my heart. I typed a message for him immediately, I love you, my King. Be safe. I stopped when I reached the gazebo. Sawyer was there, too and so were Davis and Ken. "Why are these people here?" I raised them my brows and Sawyer interrupted at once after looking around. He had stretched his neck to check for Caine's presence and when he found out that he wasn't with me, he had intentionally put his arm around my shoulder. "You don't own the University Miss de Lorenzo." He emphasized my family name. "Are you insulting me?" I narrowed my eyes at him and brushed his hand off my shoulder. "No," He raised his hands, "I am even proud to have a friend like you. We were hanging out for
Chapter 51 Caine I FEEL so worried. My baby wasn't answering my phone calls and my texts all throughout the day. That's why I hurriedly tried my best to get back home as soon as I could. I was signing papers but my mind was clouded by my thoughts, filled by her beautiful face the entire day. It was already ten PM because I made sure I fixed everything today and I was so lucky I did. I will have to come back to work one of these days but that will not be so hard anymore. I smiled when my car entered the Village and smiled broader when I saw my house, though I'm a bit worried. Nassandra was waiting for me. I hope she's doing okay. Alam ko naman ang mga kalokohan niya minsan, lalo kapag pinagti-trip-an niya ako. I turned right but came to a full stop when I noticed Rechel, Sawyer, Davis and Kenneth. They were sitting under the starry sky. They all stood up and seemed to be in a hurry as they looked at the headlights of my Maserati. Jesus. Where is my baby? Agad akong bumaba sa sasa
Chapter 52 Jix I SIGHED. Ramdam ko ang paninigas ng mga panga ko habang hawak ang aparato sa aking mga kamay, nakatitig sa sa mga litrato. I felt my chest congested as my tears pooled my eyes. How did my daughter ended up to a man like Caine? Pinagkaingat-ingatan ko ang kaisa-isa kong anak na babae na maging maayos, dahil hindi biro ang pinagdaanan ni Nikka para mabuhay silang mag-ina. Bakit ganito pa rin ang nangyari? Saan ako nagkulang? Nagkulang ba ako o masyado akong naging maluwag? Mahigpit? What? And now, my heart aches for Nassandra while staring at these photos. Hayop ka talaga, Caine. Sayang lang ang ginawa kong pagtulong sa iyo buong buhay mo. “Dad,” my daughter’s sweet voice filled my ears. Lumingon ako pero matigas ang mukha ko. Walang puwang sa akin ngayon ang pagiging isang mapagpasensyang ama. “What?” I asked angrily. “Would you care to explain me why?” she was embracing the jamb with the saddest face ever. “And would you, too care to explain why?” balik ko
Chapter 53 Nass Lifeless... After long hours of air travel, here I am. I am looking blankly and watching the rain as the car stops in front of the mansion, our mansion. The place that served as my shelter and the sole witness to all the happy memories of my childhood. Ang tahanan na naging bartolina ko simula sa pagkabata dahil hindi naman ako pinalalabas ng bahay, pero kahit kailan ay hindi ko naramdaman na malungkot dahil napapalibutan ako ng pagmamahal. But why am I looking at this place right now as a dark place? A prison cell for my aching heart, feeling incomplete and suddenly yearning for the man who had spent years here with me but now I left him all alone, or he left me all alone? Again, Am I wrong? I maybe am but I don't regret it, and if I have to do the same mistake again, paulit-ulit ko pa rin na gagawin. I love him that's why I surrendered. At naniniwala ako na may aral akong mapupulot kung sakali man na nagkamali ako ngayon. A woman must never settle for less. She
