The Contract Husband - Chapter 8
Her heart pounded wildly at the realization that she had been too brazen. Her boldness had bordered on insolence.
"I'm sorry, Carlo. I didn't mean to insult you again," she stammered hastily. "C-carlo?"
Ipinilig ng lalaki ang ulo nito. Para bang saka pa lang nahimasmasan. "She wanted to be my wife," he explained levelly. "What about you? What do you want from me? Katawan ko lang ba?"
Parang sinampal ang pakiramdam ni Franchesca. Dagli niyang iniiwas ang tingin. "F-forget I said anything," wika niya nang matagpuan ang nawalang boses. "C-could we start all over again? Masyado akong naging adelantada, hindi ba?"
"That would be impossible, Franchesca," pakli ni Carlo. "This interesting conversation should continue."
"Insulting conversation, you mean," salo niya. "Tama na, Carlo. Alam kong nasasaktan ka."
But his anger was unstoppable now. "Alam mo ba kung ano ang hitsura ni Carlota Delos Santos?"

"Limang espesyalista sa brain cancer ang tumitingin sa sakit ko.""Cancer is not fatal nowadays. We have modern techniques and new medical breakthroughs," he argued passionately. "You should go to the States, Franchesca. Maraming paraang magagawa doon. There's chemotherapy and laser operations."Napilitan siyang mag-angat ng tingin upang pigilan na sa pangungumbinsi sa kanya ang lalaki. At least, she thought he was trying to convince her."My case is difficult. They say it's impossible to have an operation and it’s growing worse," she explained levelly before pressing her cold lips together. "Besides, I've no will to live any longer." But it was then--nung hindi pa kita nakikilala, dugtong niya sa sarili."You'll have to give it a chance," giit ni Carlo.Halos hindi niya magawang umiling. Mahirap para sa kanya ang tumanggi s

The Contract Husband - Chapter 10Carlo laid down his impromptu plans dispassionately. Para bang isang business merger lamang ang nagaganap.Lalupa't magkaharap sila sa isa't isa imbis na magkatabi na katulad ng karaniwang magnobyo.At may nakapagitan pang lamesita, kung saan may dalawang pinggan ng di na nagagalaw na pagkain at apat na bote ng beer na hindi pa ubos pero stale na.Nasa loob sila ng isang bedroom pero wala ni bahid ng intimacy sa pag-uusap nila. Para bang hindi sa kanila naganap ang earth-shattering kiss na pinagsaluhan nila kanina."I trust everything in your hands, Carlo. But I want to do all the preparations, to ease your burden… p-pero kung papayag ka lang, siyempre." Hesitante na ang tono ni Franchesca dahil mistulang isang ipu-ipo ang puwersa ng papabilis na mga pagbabago sa buhay niya."We have a deal," he agreed. "I will set the date two weeks from now. Is that okey with you?""Two weeks?" She almost squ

At para huwag nang maibunyag ang identity mo, madame, magpadala ka ng apology card sa taong sinisiraan. Mula sa isang nagmamalasakit.’Masigla ang pakiramdam ni Franchesca nang magpunta sa opisina ng fiance. Tinanggap ni Carlo ang suhestiyon niyang umarkila ng isang professional troubleshooting team upang mabusisi nang husto ang mga problema ng Sanvictores Construction Company.At sa tuwing mayroong meeting ay nais ng lalaki na kaharap siya.Dakong gabi nang matanggap ni Carlo ang isang card. Special delivery pa, na may kasamang mga bulaklak."Sir, may dumating pong isang basket ng mga bulaklak para sa inyo." Sumungaw ang kalahati ng katawan ng sekretarya sa pintuan ng conference room. "Dadalhin ko na po ba dito?"Awtomatiko ang pagtugon ni Carlo. Halos pahap

The Contract Husband - Chapter 12"How's your morning? Kumusta ang pakiramdam mo? Baka nagpapagod ka na naman nang husto, ha?""Nagsumbong na naman ba sa 'yo si Inay Chedeng?" ang malambing na tanong niya. "Nasa kuwarto lang ako magmula nang gumising ako kaninang umaga. Hindi na ako nakatawag sa 'yo dahil magkikita naman tayo dito ngayon," paliwanag niya."Don't do that again, sweetheart. I miss your voice. Gusto kong marinig ang boses mo lalo na pagkagising mo. Kahit na sandali lang, gusto kitang makausap para may energy naman ako sa simula ng pagtatrabaho."Nakakataba ng puso ang tinurang iyon ng lalaki. At hindi niya ikinubli ang kasiyahan."I appreciate everything you said. Thank you, Carlo. Ikaw rin ang inspirasyon ko," sambit niya."Natutuwa akong marinig 'yan, Franchesca," he responded soberly. "By the way, we have an appointment with a neuro-surgeon next week. Isa siya sa mga nangungunang mediko sa Europe tungkol sa mga sakit na katu

Dahil bago pa, halos puno na ang maluwang na parking space na nasa harapan at tagiliran."Sana, mayroon pang table," sambit ng lalaki habang pumapasok sila sa maluwang na pintuang salamin.Sinalubong sila ng head waiter. "Good evening, sir, ma'am. Welcome to our place. Please, follow me--we have a perfect table for a beautiful pair!"Ginagap ni Carlo ang isang kamay niya at bahagyang pinisil. Ngunit seryoso ito nang mag-angat siya ng tingin."Bakit?" she asked with instant anxiety."Nandito si Carlota.""Nasaan?" Natagpuan na ng kanyang mga mata ang tinukoy ni Carlo, bago pa siya nakapagtanong.At agad niyang naintindihan ang dahilan ng pagka-disgusto nito.Magkasama sa iisang lamesa sina Carlota at Leynard Sanvictores. Tila nagkakamabutihan na."Gusto mo bang lumipat na lang tayo sa iba?" she suggested reluctantly.

Ngunit pinilit pa rin niyang ngumiti kahit medyo pormal."Good evening rin sa 'yo, Leynard," Carlo mocked the younger man. "Where is your lovely companion? Got tired of her already?"Parang inilipad sa hangin ang kumpiyansa ng matangkad ring lalaki. "N-nakita mo na kami?""Kaninang pumasok kami dito. Ikaw? Ngayon mo lang ba kami nakita?""Well, itinuro kayo sa akin ni, er, ng kasama ko."Ayaw niyang mapanood ang pagkapahiya ni Leynard kaya humingi ng dispensa si Franchesca para magpunta sa restroom.Hindi niya akalain na naghihintay naman sa kanya doon si Carlota."So, we meet personally--at last!" The heavily made-up and overly jewelled older woman greeted her with fake enthusiasm. "Ako si Carlota Delos Santos

I hope to God that I can make you very happy, Franchesca.""Oh, Carlo," she breathed tremulously. "Ang makasama ka lang at makausap ng ganito katulad ngayon at nitong mga nagdaang araw ay sobra-sobrang kaligayahan na ang naibibigay sa akin.""You're so sweet, Franchesca. Bakit ba ngayon lang tayo nagkatagpo? Disinsana, magkakaroon tayo ng mas mahaba-habang panahong magkasama." He pulled himself together with a shake of his dark head. "Forgive me for being so thoughtless. Gusto kong mapasaya ka pero malungkot ang paksa ko.""It's the truth, Carlo,”

The Contract Husband - Chapter 16The skimming caresses of his palm on the inner curve of her thighs brought a wave of heat to moisten her skin.She quivered and writhed involuntarily when his fingers gently probed her wet silkiness.The heat of his lean flesh as it sought her inner warmth was like a flame seeking to ignite her.But it was hard, too, and insistent.She felt her inner muscles tensing, just when she wanted to relax. She felt Carlo tensing, too.The sinewy muscles of his legs bunched suddenly and grazed the smoothness of her thighs."Darling," he sighed against the soft curves of her breasts, as he thrust himself into her.Her breath escaped on a sharp gasp. And when his flesh tore the tender membrane of virginity aside, she had jerked back from him. A sob had risen in her throat.Tinangka niyang pigilin iyon ngunit nabigo siya. Isang pahagulgol na ungol ang humulagpos sa kanyang lalamunan.He stoppe
