CHAPTER 17
It’s already my third time visiting him in his office yet I’m still not used to him whenever he transform into a serious businessman. It feels like I’m looking at a different person while he’s there busy talking to a client.
“Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Castanio,” the middle aged man mumbled, shaking the hand of my husband.“Thank you as well, Sir Ilba.” Daevon nodded, reciprocating the handshake. After a while they bid themselves goodbye and the old man started walking away.“Another successful client,” I said as he started walking towards my direction.A smile crept into his face as he sat down beside me, circling his arms around my belly followed by kissing my temple. He’s like a different man from earlier, it’s hardly believable. “Do you want to somewhere?” he asked. I leaned on his chest before gazing at him to speak. “I just want toRelated chapters
RUINED CHAPTER 18
When I arrived at the hospital, I immediately rushed towards my friend’s room. I saw her at the far corner of the room, staring blankly into space while auntie was there, caressing her hair gently.Cassandra’s mom looked at me when she noticed my presence. A bitter smile formed into her lips before tapping on her daughter’s shoulder.“My child, Ayesha’s here.”Her face slowly turned to look at me as I made my way to sit by her side. Auntie in turn, stood up from her seat and walked towards the door.“I’ll just buy some food for us to eat,” she said and I nodded.I gazed back to look at my friend again and held her hand. What happened? I hope it’s not what I think it is.My eyes automatically landed on her stomach and so I closed my eyes for a second, biting my lower lip.Please…When I heard a sob escaped her lips, I opened my eyes again. She weakly smiled at me while tears were starting to build on her brown orbs.&nb
RUINED CHAPTER 19
I was sipping my coffee when Daevon entered my office. He seems to be serious but at the same time afraid of looking at me. I continued to look at him with an expressionless face as I greeted his eyes. I can see how he sighed to himself before making his way to sit in front of my table.I leaned my back on my chair and crossed my legs while looking at him.“I’m sorry.” He was the first to talk as usual and gave me the same look he always does whenever we fight. He claimed my hand at the top of the table and gently squeezed it. “I didn’t mean to do that but I do not have any choice,” he added to which I raised one of my eyebrows.Again, he deeply sighed. Is this guy full of air inside? He walked towards me and grabbed my hand again before pulling me upward to stand.I stiffen in place when he lowered his gaze and leaned his head on my shoulder before wrapping his hands around my torso.“She’s mentally disabled,” he simply explained.I’m surprised b
RUINED CHAPTER 20
It’s been three weeks since Cassandra left and I must say I miss her. I sighed to myself while looking at the papers in front of me. It isn’t really hard to manage the things in her company since her secretary was helping me plus there’s Auntie always there to assist me and of course, husband who didn’t leave me alone. It’s a good thing that my parents also allowed me to work here and labeled it as an experience for this sort of field. Well, in fact, they’re quite enthusiastic when they found out I’m working.I might say that I’ve been happy for the past few weeks that came by despite having some mixed emotions with my friend leaving. She removed all of her connection in the Philippines except for her mom. I even feel like sulking every time I think of it but instead, I tried to understand her. She probably needs to fix herself.I was only back to reality when I heard the door clicking open. I saw my secretary coming in with her usual attire.She lowered h
RUINED CHAPTER 21
It’s been three days since we last saw each other and it was at that time when we had adobo for dinner. An emergency occurred in France and Daevon had no choice but to book an immediate flight towards there; concerning one of their factories.I was busy encoding some works on my computer when my phone beeped. I checked to see who it was on the screen and the name that engulfed my view was none other than a man’s name.IvannSorry, it’s been a long time since I texted. I’ve been busy at my dad’s company but like I said, can we talk? Don’t worry, I mean no harm. I just want to give you something and maybe perhaps we can call it closure.I sighed to myself after finishing his message. If you think of it like this, Ivann was the most hurt out of the three of us so knowing that I can help, I’ll try to be as kind and understand as I can. I also want him to start a new now and move on. It’s probably the time for us to finally settle everything once and for all
RUINED CHAPTER 22
I woke up when the countless banging sound and shouting voices echoed throughout the place.“Fuck you, Ivann! We talked clearly the last time and this is what you’re going to do?” a familiar voice shouted.Daevon?I slowly stood up from where I was lying and opened my eyes. In an instance from my vision blurring until it became clear, I widened my eyes in disbelief.What the hell is happening?I saw Daevon clenching his jaw, grasping hard on Ivann, raining him with a lot of his punches. I immediately stood up and was about to stop them when I noticed something wrong. My heart started racing, my lips turning blue. When I looked downward on my body, I noticed I wasn’t wearing anything.My body started trembling from fear, nervousness and confusion. I quickly covered myself with the comforter of the room while spacing out—staring at the two of them.“D-Daevon,” my voice called out. Tears started streaming down my eyes.I noticed how
RUINED CHAPTER 23
It feels like at any minute, I would collapse on the floor the moment I got out of the restaurant. There was no CCTV plus… they said the waiter isn’t there anymore.The managed said he resigned yesterday and was also the one who assisted us when we lost consciousness. The staff thought we were heavily drunk at that time and so they let them be taken care but that same person.“No… No,” I shook my head while weakly walking towards my car. I grabbed my hair out of frustration, thinking deeply. When I came inside the car, I squeezed hard on the stirring wheel and let the tears flow down my cheeks.I closed my eyes, confused and dizzy from all the events that happened. I haven’t eaten breakfast yet but instead of focusing on my health, I continued to try and contact my husband.Just like before, he wouldn’t answer the call. It was shut off. I bit my lip as I started the engine of my car.We need to talk this out. I can’t just let us be ruined like
RUINED CHAPTER 24
It's been two weeks and I may say I’m barely living.I removed all of my connection in the Philippines. I need space. I need to forget about everything and heal myself.“You need to eat, bitch,” Cassandra said when she came inside our room. There were only two rooms in the house and the other one was being used by Azaia.She was holding a tray of food with worriedness looming her eyes. Even just the glimpse of it, doesn’t seem to help in stimulating any hunger in me at all.We are a total of three in the house; it’s me, Cassandra and her nurse named Azaia. I was surprised to see her with a big stomach, the first time I arrived. Apparently, one of her twins survived and is growing healthily. When she found out about it, she immediately hired a personal nurse who will help her and I on the other hand couldn’t help but be happy for her, although sadness still loomed my whole being.I also finally told her about everything that happened to me. She was so
RUINED CHAPTER 25
“Mommy!” my daughter shouted as she ran towards me.I laughed as I saw her approaching me, I just got home from work and the first thing I saw was her small body gaping towards me.I slowly crept down to hold her in my arms. As she arrived in front of me, she clung and kissed me on my cheeks several times; I giggled.“You missed me that much?” I asked, smiling at her.She in turn did the same and nodded her head. How innocent those eyes looked like. I lightly patted her head and slowly kissed her on the forehead.“I miss you too,” I whispered as I lifted her up in my arms.“Do you have a gift for me, mommy?” she innocent asked, her long eyelashes swaying as she blinks.“Of course, hone.” She clapped her hands out of joy while I on the other hand, removed my heels. I pinched her nose and then made my way together with her inside the apartment. “Where’s your Auntie Azaia and Andrian?” I asked. When I roamed my eyes aro
