BACHELOR'S MAID: Revenge of a Billionaire ✓

Chapter Five

"Dad, it's all settled now." I said and slam my butt on the sofa.

"Nabawi mo ang title?" He asks.

"Hindi pa po, I still need to work for him for at least three months then he will give me back the title. He...he was so hard dad. Kinailangan ko pang lumuhod! I said while shaking in so much anger.

I can't believe he is Alexander Dela Cruz! I can't believe I used to love him given how he is now! He's so heartless! Hindi naman siya maagrabyado e! We are giving back the money he payed for it.

"Y-you saw Alexander?" Nauutal na tanong ni mommy. Napatingin ulit ako sa kaniya. I suddenly realized all. Oo nga pala, it was my first time knowing he is now Alexander Ilustre.

"He is my ex. Siya si Xander right?" I ask trying to assure na tama ako.

"Yes, he is Xander. He's your ex."  Mum said with a bit of sadness in her eyes.

"That doesn't matter anymore mum. I don't care if he is Ilustre now. What matter is that we get back the title and I'll marry the Guillermo to help us pay the debts." I said and looked back at my phone. There is a text from Amber.

From: Amber

Ave, hang out maya?

I replied.

To: Amber

Sure. At eight thirty. Kita nalang tayo sa Annette.

"Anyway, tuloy po  ba ang dinner mamaya?"

Daddy nodded.

"We shall discuss our plans. They help us pay our debts and I'll marry Guillermo at exactly three months from now. I will be gone for three months starting tomorrow mum, dad." I said and got up.

"Tell Ivory that I will be sending her tuition fee's. May ipon ako at magiging okay na ang kompanya. No need for her to work. I want her to focus on her studies." I said and kiss mommy and daddy's cheek.

"I am sorry for this trouble Avery. If only marriage is not one of our choice." I smile at mommy and daddy.

"You used to give me everything mum, dad. It's just a simple sacrifice compare to what you have gave me." Simple your ass Avery. This is a very big sacrifice. Nasaan na ang paniniwala mo na marriage is sacred?

I shook my head mentally. Nagpaalam ako kina mommy at daddy na magpapahinga. I need to rest para ma regain ang strength ko. Kikitain pa namin mamaya ang mga Guillermo.

"Nice to meet you finally Avery Mercado. I am Kendric Guillermo." Pakilala ng lalaking may bilog na eye glass. He has a clean cut of her. He is wearing a stripe polo shirt with pants.

"Nice meeting you Kendric." I said and welcome his hands. We shook our hands.

I also meet tita Leticia. I also found out that Kendric doesn't have father because of an accident. He is living with his mom and two younger siblings. Magaan naman kasama ang dalawa, though I notice that Kendric is somehow a nerdy type of man. Mas lalo siyang nag mumukhang nerd dahil sa big round glasses niya. He is civil to talk and perfect as a boy best friend. I just love his silence. I love silence!

"I think it's all settled, three months from now your big day will be happening!" Tita shrieked at she put her hands on top of Kendric's hand.

"Mommy." Angal nito na tila nahihiya. I also knew that Kendric is handling their company. Tinutulungan siya ni tita pero nag susupervise lang ito. Kendric is twenty five years old too.

"When can we meet you again ija?" Tita Leticia said. Nabanggit ko kasi na mawawala ako ng three months from now.

"After three months tita." I said and smile. Hindi na namin sinabi nila mommy at daddy kung bakit mawawala ako. I just said for my dream job. Naniwala naman ito. After having our dinner ay nagpaalam ako kina mommy at daddy na mag babar. Since it is already seven thirty I promise them that I'll be home before twelve so I can take a rest. Lalo't bibiyahe pa ako bukas.

Pagkarating ko sa Annette ay naghintay pa ako ng ilang minuto bago dumating si Zia at Amber.

"Hey there Ave!" Bati ng dalawa saakin. I both kissed their cheeks.

"Come on, gusto ko mag-aliw but hindi ako pwedeng malasing. I'll be gone for three months." I confess.

"Saan ka naman pupunta? I thought you are going to help your mommy and daddy."

"Yes, I really am going to help them. I'll be working on Alexander Ilustre." They gasps when they heard it. They knew Alexander. They knew he is my ex.

Kaya wala akong nagawa kundi magkwento. I told them everything. Pati ang nangyari sa opisina niya.

"He is so heartless Ave! Hindi man lang ba niya naisip na you two were once a lover?" Galit na pahayag ni Amber.

"He is an ass! Kaya't huwag na huwag kang mahuhulog sa kaniya Avery. I am warning you." Natawa ako sa sinabi ni Zia.

"Zia I still love him, hindi na ako mahuhulog pa. Hulog na hulog na ako sa kaniya but still I can't be with him because I'm getting married."

"WHAT?!" sabay pa ang dalawa sa pagreak. I drank my drink.

"Yes you heard me right. I'm getting married after three months, after I'm done being his maid." I said at tumungo.

"But kanino? For what?" Tanong ni Amber.

Kaya wala akong nagawa ulit kundi ikwento ang kalagayan mg kompanya namin. After I told them all natahimik lang sila at mukhang na stress.

"I don't know but I still want Alexander for you kesa kay Kendric. I hate Xander for being an ass pero hello! It's so hard to get married with a stranger Avery. I'm sure sa puso ni Xander may pagmamahal pa 'yan. He was so madly in love with you. I still remember--"

"Oh please shut up! Ayokong maalala ang nakaraan okay? I'm done with it. Yes I still love Xander, ako ang nanakit sakaniya. Ako ang nakipag break. Pero hindi ako nakalimot e, the love I have for him is still here even how many years have passed. I still love him."

"And it fucking hurt me, Zia, Amber. It fucking hurts that I need to work for him and face his loath for me. I am fucking messed up girls."
