The Billionaire's Secret Wife

Ikalawang Kabanata: 'I WANT HIM'

"NO!"

I yelled with disagreement.
I won't marry this man.

I may wished I was the one he was concerned back at the store and not Cherry, pero iba na ito.

We're talking about marriage and that really isn't what I had in mind.

I wanted to be single until I'm 30.
And I am sure by that time boy's will still be lining for me because I'm still hot and pretty!

"Listen Nel... Think about it.. Matthew is your ideal man right? And think about our business. This marriage will strengthen both our companies."

What did Dad said?

Napatikhim ako at napatitig kay Matthew na nakatingin na Rin sa akin ngayun.

This is why I shouldn't tell my father my ideal guy. Parati itong gumahawa nang paraan para makahanap nang maikakasal sa akin.

This is not the first time he put me up like this. Marami na rin mga anak nang mga business partners niya ang binalak niyang ipakasal sa akin.

"But Dad we were over this. I don't wanna marry anyone."

Patuloy kong hindi pagsang-ayon sa kaniya.

" Nel... You asked me what my wish was... And this is it. I want you to have a family habang nandito pa ako. I want to see my grandchildren before something bad happens to me. "

Agad na napakunot ang noo ko.
Diba dapat in private namin pinag-uusapan ito?

And what? Grandchildren?!
Napaka advance naman nito.

Children are noisy.
They make a lot of mess.
Their just stress.
I'm not a baby person.
I don't really like kids.

Masaya nga ako na wala akong kapatid na may anak. Sa hindi palang pagkakaroon nang kapatid ay masaya na ako. Wala akong magiging kahati.

And another thing!
I might die with the pain in labor.
I hate the thought of that.

"Don't worry Ms. Tan. The wedding will be confidential. No one will know we're married except for our families."

I looked up as I heard that voice.
That warm calm voice that makes my heart beat even faster.

"Please Nel...just do it this time.
Please."
Nagmamakaawa ang tinig ni Daddy.

It's like he wants to sold me to this man.

Well, okay lang naman sa akin kahit sa kaniya na talaga ako.

WHAT?

Napailing ako.

What's that?
I don't know what's going on in my mind.

"Fine. Call me when the papers are ready to be signed. I'll be outside."

Agad akong tumayo at lumabas sa loob nang saloon kung saan kami naroroon.

I can't say na hindi ko gusto ang desisyon ko.
I want him.
Since that day at the store.

The Wind blew my hair as I walked up the Sun Deck. It's the highest deck in the yacht and the view of the ocean and the starry sky is fascinating in here.

"Don't act like you don't want this marriage."

I was surprised to hear that voice again.

It was Matthew.
Paakyat ito sa kinaroroonan ko ngayun.

" I'm not. I do want you."
Agad ko siyang tinalikuran at tinuon ang tingin ko sa malawak na karagatan.

He sighed in disbelief.
