Semua Bab Diego De Luna, Over My Dead Body: Bab 491 - Bab 500

Byrce.“Where are we heading? This is…"“My place."“I see…” She looks around even if it’s dark.We landed safely at the top deck of this mansion. I told my father’s butler, Mr. Fernandez, earlier that I would be joining the gathering tomorrow.Mr. Fernandez was pleased to hear those details. He mentioned that tomorrow’s event at my father’s grand would be spectacular and he senses that an official announcement would also be made there.I wonder what it’s all about. I hate going to my father’s den unprepared. I must find out what my father is planning.It’s dark, and the big drops of rain landed heavily. I showed Charm around. This was the only level I could offer her. It includes the living room and guest bedrooms, but she will stay with me on the top floor. Tomorrow morning, I will show her around everything. Iniwan ko muna siya dahil nag-aayos siya at naliligo. Walang pagkain sa bahay na ito dahil hindi ako madalas dito. Ginagawa ko lang itong hideout tuwing pumupunta ako sa mans

Charm."Oh, uhm…" She looks at me in surprise and then back to Bryce. "It's lovely to meet you, hija. I didn't know…"Lumapit siya sa akin at saka hinawakan ang kamay ko. Bumitaw na si Bryce at mas kinabahan akong lalo."I'm Mercedes Mondragon," she smiles, and it's warmer this time. She squeezes my hand gently and looks at me warmly."You are so beautiful, and your name says it all…Charm.""S-Salamat, po.""Prego, hija. Vieni e unisciti a noi, cara. Don't be shy.""Po?" I stutter, lost for words. She did not let go of my hand and pulled me gently with her."Bryce?" Sumenyas ako bago humakbang. Ngumiti siya at mahinang tumango. Hinayaan lang niya ang ina niyang nakahawak sa akin habang siya ay nakasunod sa amin ngayon.I can feel all their eyes were on me. I can sense it, and it builds up pressure on my shoulders."Bryce."May tumawag sa pangalan ni Bryce, at nang lumingon ako para matingnan siya mula sa likod, ay nakapulupot na agad sa braso niya ang isang babae."Look at you? I hav

Charm.“It was good, right?” I smile bitterly.He nodded and focused on driving.Bryce's mother is beautiful and kind, while Bryce's father is quite different. It’s clear he didn't like me being there. I survived the encounter, and now we're headed back to Bryce's place.Tahimik si Bryce na parang malalim ang iniisip. Iba naman ang iniisip ko. Marami ito at gulong-gulo.I can't get out of my mind what Patricia said earlier. It's bothering me and hurting me in other ways.Ano nga ba kami ni Bryce? What am I to him? He never explicitly expresses his love. That never occurs. We just connect, and then sex happens. Huh, iyon lang yata 'yon. Sex lang ang lahat at tawag ng katawan lang. Goodness me. Did he just take advantage, knowing that I like him first? Is that so? Dang it. “I want to go home to my place if possible.” Tinitigan ko na siya at naiinis ako sa katahimikan naming dalawa. Hindi siya makatingin sa akin at seryoso lang, na para bang mas malalim ang iniisip niya kaysa sa aki

Charm.My heart skipped a beat when I saw her. She's beautiful, smiling brightly at me, but what truly caught my attention was her disability. Bryce never mentioned anything about it. He only told me last night that I would be meeting Atasha, her beloved young sister."Atasha…" I walk up to her, offering the warmest smile I can muster.“I'm Charmie, it's nice to meet you." Bahagyang napaluhod ako para maging level kaming dalawa."I'm Atasha, my god, ang ganda mo pala..." She looks at me in amusement and holds my hands. Her hands are cold."Pasensya ka na. Malamig ang kamay ko."Mas pinisil ko ito sa mainit na kamay ko."Don't worry. Cold hands means warm heart." I chuckle."And warm hands means cold heart?" She continued, and we both laughed."You're a character, and beautiful." I adore her. She’s brave."And so are you? I heard a lot about you from someone.” She looks at Bryce behind me, smiling at him."Talaga? Hmm…" Napangiwi akong konti at natawa siyang lalo."Let’s get inside.

Charm.He smells good after that shower. I smile at him, and my eyes quickly survey his whole. Uminit lang ang pisngi ko nang matapat ito sa gitnang bahagi niya. The towel wraps around it, and that thing is awake. It's obvious.I look away and glance at the TV. My heart is pounding hard. I honestly want to kiss him, but I know he is tired and he deserves to have a quiet night.Pero nabigla ako nang pinatay niya ang TV at saka pilyong ngumiti sa akin. Nasa harapan ko na siya. Tinatakpan ng katawan niya ang TV sa likod."Charm…" he pauses and swallows hard.I blink as I look at the man who makes my world go round.I know life is complicated for him. His father is insane for getting Patricia to marry him. I don't want to ask him to choose me, because I don't want to force him.I want to be chosen because he chooses me, not because I ask him to pick me.I know Bryce is not a fool to follow his father's wishes. I cling to that hope, that in the end, he will choose me."I know it's been co
