Conquering Thy Billionaire's Heart (TLS #3)

"I'm truly sorry, Babe. Sorry if I didn't tell you about Kuya Klaus' upcoming marriage.." Saab was on the verge of tears.

I haven't spoken to her in a while ever since the bomb dropped. She decided to visit me here at the condo. Franki is at her university so Saab thought that it will be the right time to talk about things, just me and her.

"I got scared. I don't want to break your heart. I know how much you love my Kuya. I'll be real with you, I got caught in the middle."

She looked at me with so much guilt. I know how much she feels bad the situation we're in. She tried communicating with me over and over again but I didn't have the energy to entertain anyone, not even my own sister.

"I-I understand but atleast you should've given me a heads up. It's harder to accept when I had to learn it from others. You know how much I love your Kuya, Saab.." My voice broke. "I-I trusted you, you know that.."

She went up to me and gave me a tight hug while crying. "I know. You're my best friend, Chesi. I don't want you to get hurt. Not even by my own blood. I'm sorry I didn't tell you.. I admit to my wrong." Saab caressed my back.

"Please forgive me."

How can I not forgive her? She's my best friend and my ride or die. I should also put myself in her shoes. If I was her, I would also get scared to tell my best friend who's inlove with my brother that he is getting married soon.

I hugged her back and finally broke down after keeping things to myself all this while.

"M-My heart hurts so much, Saab.. I've never been this heart broken. Not even the time when Klaus literally pushed me away. Nothing can beat this pain."

She hushed and comforted me. "I know.. I'm sorry. I wish I can take the pain away."

One decision I did made Klaus forever hate me. I was so out of myself that I did the most craziest thing I've ever done in my life so far.

"Oh my G! Cheesy, please itigil mo na 'yan.." Franki worriedly said as she tried to take away the glass of tequila away from my hand. "Baka ano pang mangyari sa'yo, lagot ako kila Mommy.." She whispered in my ear dahil baka marinig ng ibang tao.

This is what? my fifth or sixth shot? I cannot even recall. That's how drunk I am right now. I don't care about my heart condition anymore. Wala ng mas may isasakit pa ang puso ko.

Niyaya ko ang kapatid ko lumabas para mag club at uminom. Saab is not here. She's currently in Cebu with her parents kaya kami lang ng kapatid ko ngayon.

Kailangan ko palakasin ang loob ko para sa planong naiisip ko and this is the only way to remove all my fears and inhibitions.

"L-Let me be, Franks! Hayaan mong iinom ko ang sakit ng puso ko!" I laughed like a lunatic. "Cheers!" I am so drunk I cannot think straight anymore.

This is what it feels to be drunk and wasted. Ang saya says pala. Nakakalimutan mo ang sakit at hirap.  I've never been drunk my whole life because of my condition kaya ganito na lang ako tinamaan ng malala. How liberating it is to not feel afraid and to give zero fucks in life. That's probably why my baby sister is so obsessed with this feeling.
