Under The Same Sky (ON-GOING)

Thirty-Four 💜 I love you.

Jay's POV

Fvck. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Angela was laughing so happily with another man, her smile radiant and genuine as they shared a moment together. A wave of anger and hurt surged through me, and I slammed my hand against the steering wheel, causing the horn to blare loudly. Damn it!

The frustration bubbled up inside me, and I felt an intense urge to get out of the car and confront Jimenez, to pull Angela away from him. Why that damned guy out of all the people? Why Angela?!

The scene in front of me felt like a cruel twist of fate, and I couldn't make sense of it.

The pain was almost unbearable. I wanted to shout, to beg, to plead. Why couldn't you just pick me again? My mind raced with all the promises I wanted to make. I'll do better. I will make sure to make you happier than ever. I'll give you all the time I have. I'll serve you for the rest of my life...

The desperation in my heart was overwhelming. I wished I could turn back time and show you just how much you meant to me, how much I was willing to sacrifice for you.

"Fvck Angela! Just choose me! Please choose me!" I wish she could hear my plea. I wished with all my heart that she could hear me, that she could somehow sense the depth of my desperation. Just one more time, please.

Bzzt bzzt

The sound of my phone vibrating pulled me from my anguish. I squinted at the screen, my frustration growing as I saw who was calling. "What on Earth does this woman need again? Tsk." muttered, my irritation sharp as I declined the call. My gaze snapped back to Angela, who was still laughing with Jimenez, her joy a painful contrast to my own turmoil.

I knew exactly what she wanted, and why she was pushing the baby on me. The child she was carrying was mine. Damn it. It was only a single night-one night of mistake that had led to this mess. That one night had turned everything upside down, ruining plans I had meticulously laid out.

I had loved Angela deeply. I have been preparing to propose next year. I was getting everything ready-the ring, the house, the lot, my promotion for a more secure future. I had envisioned a big family with her, everything planned out perfectly. And now, because of that one fateful mistake, it was all in jeopardy. Everything I had hoped for, everything I had worked toward, was falling apart. Damn it! The weight of the situation felt unbearable, and I was left grappling with the shattered pieces of my dreams.

I can't live without her.

In my desperation, I nearly assaulted her. I wasn't in my right mind back then. Ang gusto ko lang maibalik ko siya sakin. Ang gusto ko lang malaman niyang mahal ko siya. Pero nung makita ko siya na masaya, as if she had already moved on, I couldn't control myself.

The situation grew even worse when Jimenez arrived. Watching him carry her, my jealousy erupted uncontrollably. It was like a dam breaking, releasing all the pent-up frustration I had been holding back.

Another call came in, and when I saw it was from my uncle, I sighed, bracing myself before answering.

"Jay, where the hell are you right now?!" the President's voice boomed through the phone, laced with anger. Great. Another headache.

"I had to take care of something important, Mr. President," I replied, keeping my tone steady.

"More important than the company? We're drowning in issues here! Get back to the office immediately!" utos niya. I clenched my fist, trying to keep my cool. Damn it. "And don't tell me you're still chasing after that whore? Can't you see she's moved on? She already seduced the CEO of Jimenez Corporation. Forget her, Jay. She's not worth your time!" his words were like a slap in the face, and anger surged through me. How dare he call Angela a whore!?
