Broken

Chapter 23

Ch. 23 / 50 Dec 09, 2025

During my one week stay here mama and I met. I apologize. I was forgiven. It's hard for me to adjust to Eduardo's presence but I did my best to approach him nicely. He's a nice man. He has no children and that is in my favor. That way I won't have any more difficulties because I'm the only one who can adjust everything.

Mama repeatedly asked me why I left Manila when I was busy.

It's only been two months and it's summer break. I just said that I also need a break. Rest in peace. I'll just take a special exam when I return. because I know that my teachers won't just bring me down.

I also have a lot of regret because I know I have a lot to study. But it would be harder if I stayed there.

"You look pale, Natalia. Are you fine?" Mommy asked worriedly. She scanned my face.

I nodded.

"Yes mah. I was just thinking something." I immediately bent down to fold some of her belongings. Later they will leave for Hong Kong. Eduardo leaves them. He's really rich. he owned some malls abroad, Casino and Private Schools.

How did he and mama meet? So when does mama often leave another country?

Right now we are here in our Rest house. But later I will return to the bungalow I rented. I prefer it there and another one is all I use.

"Thinking? Tell me." She reached my hand and held it. "Are you inlove? Do you have a boyfriend Natalia Grace?" Mama asked softly.

Tears welled up in my eyes. I immediately looked up. I immediately bit my lip so as not to let out a sob.

Mama gasped and she knows already.

A mother really knows everything when it comes to her child. With every tear, with every simple movement, in breathing, and in speaking.

I opened my eyes immediately mama was not clear in my vision because of my tears.

I nodded slowly.

She looked at me I felt love as a mother there. How much she wanted to help me with the pain but I was the only one who could do that for myself.

"Just cry. I'm here." she immediately turned to me and hugged me.

I can not talk. I'm speechless..

I just want to now release all my grievances.

"Such is love, sometimes happy, sometimes sad...we fight for the person we love. Even if it's tired, it resists. But if it hurts when you can't take it anymore, sometimes it's better to just quit to lose all the weight you're carrying. "

Moms words hit me big time. I didn't tell him anything. i remained crying silently. But the words he uttered all hit me.

I was very hurt. But somehow I feel relieved here.

The afternoon wind blew. It's four o'clock in the afternoon. I am here in front of the bungalow in front of the sea. where there is a hammock hanging on either side of the fruitless coconut tree.

I lay there quietly. Feeling the heat of the sun. When I felt that it was no longer hot, I stood up.

I combed my long hair that was being blown by the strong wind from the sea. very beautiful.

The sun was already set in preparation for sunset in the East.

The sky is turning a bit orange because of that. The blue sea water is enticing to look at. There are bathing foreigners But most are Filipinos.

I walked closer to the sea and kicked the fine white sand of the Island.

This Island is so perfect. There is no garbage in the sea, no black factory smoke, and no smokers anywhere.

Healthy life style everyone. I watched the sea glow in the distance. I can't help but to admire it more.

Mesmerizing and refreshing. When you are here you will just want to fall asleep because of the drowsiness brought on by the wind.

I untied the strap tied around my neck of my summer dress. just to revealed my pale white body hugging with my red two piece.

I landed my dress on the sand. I immediately paddled into the sea.

It was also a bit cold. Until the water reached my shoulder I decided to dive into the corals.

I saw starfish, gold fish there and other fish whose name I don't know. This Island is really healthy with marine resources.

When the wind ran out I went back upstairs. I swam back to where I had put my dress but my eyes widened to be in that hand of the man I didn’t expect.

My heart pounded immediately. I left Manila to avoid the pain he gave me but here is my heart now and I almost went crazy with the jump just to see him?

Fuck heart! Don't betray me please!

Sebastian stood while holding my dress. his jaw clenched and his piercing eyes telling me that he's dangerous this time.

I almost choked on the way he looked at me.

He has a lot of money. I don’t need to wonder. Even i I had hid there on Mars he would not have traced me. I looked at his handsome face..He's wearing a white shirt and sweatshorts. The veins and muscles in his arms are very noticeable.

I approached him trembling not because of the cold. but because of nervousness because of him. I feel like I'm going crazy now. Why is he here?

Approaching him I harshly pulled my dress in his hand. But I didn’t pull that off.

I looked at him badly.

"Give me back my dress!"

"Give me what's mine first." He drawled.

K laughed.

"What's mine are you talking about ?!"

He approached me so I backed away.

"You .." he said with full emphasis.

My crazy heart pounded immediately. I feel like a bomb about to explode.

"Go back to me." He said like I'm a thing he treasure the most.

I was shocked by what he said.

What the hell!
