Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Reckless Alliance - Falling For My Billionaire Boss: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

Anacá “No, you’re mistaken. We’re still married, Anacá.” I gaped at him, shocked by the gentleness and remorse in his tone. Was I imagining it? The Eros I remembered could only hate me. What changed after two months, when I had given up all hope of him? No, he definitely came with a caveat. “Yes. We’re married in name only for two more months.” This time, I wouldn’t buckle. I didn’t need him in my life. I was financially independent, with loved ones by my side. Uncle David had handed over his bakery to me to manage and run, just as I wished. In the last two months, my hard work had paid off, and the bakery earned more than ever before. It strengthened my self-confidence and helped me prosper. Uncle David and Deborah were proud of me, and it helped me get a grip on my life.Eros paled and closed his eyes to control himself. “I won’t sign the divorce papers. Would you still consider a separation if I apologized for my behavior? I’m sorry, Anacá. I’ve realized how badly I had treated

AnacáThe moment Andrea opened the door, she gasped with pleasure. I could sense Eros’s presence outside the main door as I followed her to check. Yes, I was right. It was Eros and Knox, Andrea’s twin, who stood there with a wheelchair-bound Zion. I froze at the sight of Eros, unscathed and alive. After worrying all night for him, my eyes drank him in. I might be upset with him, but not upset enough to wish him dead.“Zion!” gushed Andrea with tears in her eyes as she hugged him with relief. “I’m fine now, baby!” He wiped her tears away. The twins rushed past me to hug their dad, but I was oblivious to it all.So was Eros. Unaffected by the drama all around him, he held my gaze for minutes. Maybe he hadn’t expected me to be really here. I could see the hope glimmering in his eyes. Did he think I was back for good? Did he think I had forgiven him?I didn’t. He had to try harder if he wanted me back in his life.I tore my gaze away and smiled at the way the twins hugged their dad, bloc

ErosWords failed mamá, and she covered her face and broke down completely. “For years I wanted to hear you call me mamá.” My heart broke for what she had to endure. Strangely, I wasn’t surprised, as if my heart already had known it. “I have always looked up to you as my mamá. My heart couldn’t have accepted anyone else, even if you weren’t. So I’m relieved to hear this, actually. Aren’t you happy, mamá?”I hugged her while the others stood frozen, watching us with apprehension. I couldn’t look at my dad for what he made my mamá go through. It was inhuman. He should have trusted and married her long ago if he had loved her. She wiped her eyes and hugged me back. “Yes, son. Today, I’m the happiest mother alive.” “Why didn’t you tell me before, mamá? You could have found this happiness long ago.” My gaze somehow went to my dad. While I was indebted to him for adopting me and giving me a good life, I was disappointed with the way he treated my mother. She gave me a sad smile, her eye

Anacá Tears streamed down my cheeks on seeing the video Eros had sent me. I was in two minds now. While my heart melted, my mind didn’t. I wanted to forgive him, yet something prodded me to end this reckless alliance. What if he didn’t change his ways? What if he hurt me again? After starting a family with him, it would be impossible to walk away without emotional baggage. I wiped the tears away. Maybe I was better off alone. Eros might repent now, but he could misbehave again. When his dad had done it for thirty-one years with his mother, how could I trust him? With two days left for his parents’ wedding, I was apprehensive about meeting Eros again. What if he had a lot of expectations from me? I couldn’t live up to them. I had lost faith in him and in our reckless marriage. Maybe I shouldn’t have proposed that day to Eros. My mom was right. A marriage without love never lasted long. Lucy licked my hand to comfort me, and I cuddled her close. Deborah had given away the other pups

ErosThe fear in her eyes dampened my spirits. Did I destroy her trust in me? I would have to regain it if I wanted a future with her. Yes, I still wanted everything with her. There was no other for me. I planted a kiss on her forehead and retreated to my side. “Go to sleep, Anacá. I won’t force myself on you ever again. That’s my promise to you.” She nodded and released a staggering sigh. “Good night.” I watched her turn her back to me to feign sleep. She dismissed me, and I lost another chance to make it up to her and touch her soul. But I couldn’t do this forcefully. I needed her readiness to accept me back into her life. Maybe I would wait for her forgiveness, even if it took me forever. I was doomed to live a loveless life. For years, I had waited for my mom. Now, when I had almost given up hope, I found her. It was a dream-come-true moment for me, as Theia was the only one in this world I had loved unconditionally for thirty-one years. It was stronger than my love for my dad.
