Chapter 47: Sick
“Hey, baby. Look at me...” Zachary pulls me back, making me face him.
His eyes widen when he sees me crying. I quickly wipe my tears away but he takes my hand and wipe my tears himself.
I am so scared and terrified. Hindi ko alam... kung ano ang dapat kong gawin. Akala ko tapos na. I already stopped investigating. Umalis ako at bumalik lang para papirmahin si Zachary sa annulment papers.
Hindi ko inaakala na hindi pa pala tapos lahat. Someone died again. My secretary... Karylle died because of me. Someone fucking died again because of me. Dahil bumalik ako rito.
Patuloy sa pagbuhas ang mga luha ko. Nanginginig ako sa sobrang takot. Hindi ko na alam. But I also think that I need to leave this country again. Pero paano? I told Zachary that I am in love with him. Lalo siyang magtataka kung pipilitin ko siya ulit na pirmahan ang annulment papers after confessing that I am in love with him.
“Z-Zachary...” Bumuntong hininga ako.

Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 48: Pretend
Mabilis akong umalis ng FUMC. Tumigil lang ako nang mapansin na nasa tapat ako ng gate ng villa namin ni Zachary at halos padilim na. I wasn’t even sure where I was driving to a while ago. At dito pa talaga... I am completely aware of how tight the security is within the premises now. The guards know my car’s model and plate number, so they didn’t bother checking. At may sensor na rin sa kalsada papasok ng premises. The sensor would know if someone suspicious enters the range and it would trigger the alarm. Bumuntong hininga ako. Nanatili ako sa loob ng kotse ko habang sinusubukang tawagan si Klaus sa dati niyang number. He immediately answered the call. “Klaus...” I call him. “Jade...” tugon niya pabalik. My lips form a thin line. “Can we meet?” I hear him sigh. “Look, Jade...” Muli siyang bumuntong hininga bago muling nagsalita. “I just informed you of what happened. I get that she’s close to you, but I suggest for you not to take pa
Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 49: Sorry
“No,” mabilis kong sagot. “Hindi ako sasama sa ‘yo,” dagdag ko. Nanatili ang mga mata niyang nakatitig sa akin. Malamig pero malumanay. He seems really tired. But his eyes remain beautiful. I couldn’t help but be mesmerized by them. Umiling ako at iniiwas ang aking tingin dahil hindi ko gusto ang nararamdaman. I kept hurting him and lying to him. Ayaw kong… umulit na naman na pagbigyan ang nararamdaman ko dahil ilang beses na iyong nangyari at hindi ko na alam kung makakaya ko pa siyang pakawalan kung muli akong magpapaubaya at susuko sa kaniya. I told him how I despise him for being his father’s son. Things should stay just as they should. Like us in this situation. Filled with indifference and anger. At least for me. Kahit kasinungalingan lang naman.
Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 50.1: Date
[ Flashback ] I still can't believe he suddenly agreed to marrying me! That Dr. Ricaforte! Ayaw ayaw pa siya noong una for some reason tapos biglang sasabihin niya sa akin na payag na siya? I was actually close to backing out from my proposal until he barged in my office and said, "Fine, I'll marry you." I never thought it would be this easy. Because he really seemed the type to marry for love, as cliche as it would seem. At mukha ring may gusto siyang iba... kaya naman bakit... bigla niyang naisipang pumayag sa proposal ko? "But we have to get to know each other first before we proceed to marry each other..." he said. Bumuntong hininga at binalingan siya mula sa pagkain ko. "Roon din naman ang punta natin bakit hindi na lang natin idiretso na sa kasal, Dr. Ricaforte? Mukhang iyon din naman ang gusto ng parents mo..." pag-angal ko. He looked at me with a stern look on his face. Na para bang gusto niya akong pangaralan pero bago pa siya makasagot ay inunahan ko na siya. "Fine
Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 50.2: Lied
[ Flashback continues ] He was stunned for a moment. His lips were pursed and couldn't even utter a single word. I, however, remained looking at him... waiting for his answer. I assumed before that maybe he was really in love with someone. That's why he was so hesitant to agree to my proposal. I don’t know but I suddenly had the urge to ask him if there's really someone that he’s in love with. Kahit pansin kong, oo, tinanong ko pa rin. Who knows, I might stop this ridiculous idea of marrying him so he could be with the one he really— “No. I’m not.” Diretso ang pagkakasabi niya noon at hindi man lang siya nagdalawang isip kahit kitang kita ko sa mga mata niya ang gulat kanina. He’s not? Is he bluffing? “
Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 51: Deserve
Why was it so easy for him to say that he’s in love with me? Bakit ang dali sa kaniya na iparamdam sa akin iyon kahit anong trato ko sa kaniya na hindi ko siya mahal? What exactly is wrong with this man? How can he be so…? I was too shocked that he’s in front of me right now that I didn’t notice his suitcase behind him. Don’t tell me… he’s planning to live here again… with me? I’m not going to allow him to. This is insane! “What’s with the suitcase behind you?” I asked anyway, kahit parang alam ko naman na ang sagot. He smiled a little before pulling his suitcase beside him. “I’m going to live here again… with you, MJ…” aniya, confirming my thoughts. Bumuntong hininga ako at napasapo ang kamay sa ulo. “How many times do I have to tell you that I’m not really in love with you? I was lying. I am mad at you, Dr. Ricaforte. I hate you…” walang emosyon kong sambit pagkatingin ko nang diretso sa mga mata niya. “Ang kulit mo!” singhal ko pa.
Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 52: Back
I repeatedly told myself that I did the right thing. Even though I miss him so much, I also knew that pushing him away was for the best. I don’t want to put his life in danger. I tried to divert my attention away from him. Sinamantala ko ang marami kong trabaho para lang mawala siya at ang ginawa ko sa kaniya sa isip ko. It worked, though... for that span of hours. Agad ding bumalik nang matapos ako sa trabaho. No matter what I did, he would always invade my mind. I miss him. Is he doing well? Does he miss me? Does he think of me? Nakakatawa dahil ang pathetic lang. I wanted this and yet... all I could think about was him. He would always find his way back to my mind no matter how busied myself. And honestly, it’s driving me mad. I really want to see him. To hug him and kiss him. I took a deep sigh and wad about to fix my things when someone knocked on my office’s door. I pushed the intercom button on my table. “Come in,” I said and
Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 53: Sleep
I just stared at him for a while. His eyes were still the same, naghahanap at nagtatanong. I honestly don’t know how to answer him or what to answer. Dahil maging ako ay ganoon din ang tanong sa sarili. Why did I come back here? Sa lahat ng puwede kong puntahan, bakit dito? Bumuntong hininga ako at nagpasyang magsabi na lang ng totoo. I don’t feel safe at my condominium. I could just tell him that. There’s no need to elaborate the details. Kung ano ang mayroon at kung ano ang nangyari. “MJ...” he called me. God, I missed him so much. “Why didn’t you pick me up before the dinner? Why didn’t you attend?” I asked him. It wasn’t what I planned to ask or to tell him. Hindi iyon, at hindi ko alam kung bakit iyon ang lumabas sa aking bibig. Maybe... at some point, I also wanted to know his reason for that. When I saw him outside our house, I was able to confirm my thoughts from a while ago when Baron picked me up instead of him.
Perfectly Fake Marriage Chapter 54: Failed
“You should go now. Okay na ako rito...” He looked at me, his eyes almost pleading. Pagkahatid niya sa akin sa kumpanya ay akala ko aalis na siya pero talagang sumunod pa siya sa akin hanggang sa opisina ko. He didn’t want to leave. Pero hindi naman iyon puwede dahil may trabaho rin siya. “Are you sure you don’t want me to stay instead? I can take a dayoff again and stay here with you—” “I’ll be fine, Zachary...” He almost shifted on his seat when he heard me say his name. He softly cleared his throat and his reaction made my heart run wild. Saying his name out loud makes my heart feel tingly. I missed this. I wish we could stay like this for a lifetime. “I honestly don’t feel like working. I should just stay here and wait for you to finish your work,” pagpupumilit niya. “Dr. Ricaforte...” I warned him. Agad siyang tumayo at dumiretso sa pintuan ng office ko. “On second thought, I really should go...” he quickly y
