The Man Who Breaks My Heart (English )

CHAPTER 33

Chapter 33

Ryker was on the phone, and I couldn't get his words from earlier out of my head.

Did he really forget me, or was it just a....? I clenched my teeth, trying to hold back my emotions, especially since we were just leaving Manila. I don't want my dreams for my children to be ruined because Ryker didn't recognize me, or maybe with all the women he's been with, I'm just one of the ones he forgot. Damn him.

I just rubbed my temples, thinking about my children. He doesn't deserve to meet them. No.

"Are you okay? Do you want to take a nap or do you want to eat first? We can call the flight attendant." I turned to my left where he was sitting. His eyes were darting between me and his laptop.

I sighed, I don't know why. I feel suffocated when he's near.

"No thanks, Mr. Sullivaño. I'm not hungry and I slept earlier, so I'm not sleepy yet." I said, keeping my eyes on my phone.

He didn't speak, and when I turned towards him, he was staring at me. I gasped and immediately looked away.

"Just tell me or ask the flight attendant if you need something. And if you want to use the bathroom, let me know. I'll accompany you." My eyes widened at his words. But this pervert is holding back a smile or a laugh. I rolled my eyes.

"I'll just endure it rather than having someone with me. What am I, a cripple? Rude!" I muttered to myself.

"I hear you!"

"And so… that's for you." I said, rolling my eyes.

"Snobby!"

"Playboy!" I muttered so he wouldn't hear.

"I still hear you!"

"You Sullivaño jerk!" I was surprised because he was already sitting next to me. "Go back to your seat! I'm going to sleep."

"I thought you didn't want to sleep!"

"Well, I need it, now. Move!"

"There's a private bed here, you can sleep there."

"No, and we'll be in Cebu in an hour and a minute anyway, move!" I said angrily. I'm about to get dizzy from the strong scent of his perfume. Unlike before when he only used baby cologne, he changed it now. Tsk.. who cares.

"Don't get angry, your wrinkles are showing, Ms. Corpez–fuck!" Because of what he said, I immediately stepped on his shoe.

I was about to stand up to move to a new seat, but he grabbed my right hand, and because of the surprise, I stumbled and fell onto his lap.

"Damn!" We both said at the same time.

"It's your fault, why did you do that?" I almost ran out of breath because we were so close. I almost heard his heartbeat and breathing.

"Sorry…" he said immediately.

I struggled to get up so the situation wouldn't worsen. I don't want to go back to the beginning in one flash. When everything started. He fooled me from the start, so I'll avoid him, I really will avoid him.

I moved to a new seat and didn't look back at him. I just texted mama and Caloy to watch the kids. I already miss them. I'm used to waking up with them beside me. I know they'll be surprised that I'm not there. I miss them so much, dear God.

I don't know what time I fell asleep, when I woke up I was in bed on a luxurious mattress? I remembered that we were on a private plane, so I immediately sat up because Ryker might have left me. I checked my watch and it was past one hour, and we were still on the plane, I thought we'd be in Cebu by 10 pm.

Shit!

I peeked outside the cabin and I was right, we were on land.

I looked around the room and I immediately calmed down when I saw Ryker sleeping in a chair. Did he carry me to bed? Why didn't he lie down beside me?

I slapped my cheeks because of what I was thinking. Why would he lie down beside me? Uhmm because the bed is wide and he's the boss so he should be the one lying there? I shook my head and why do I need to explain.

I went out of the private room and saw a flight attendant checking the seats in the cabin.

"Good evening, Miss."

"Uhmm, good evening. Are we the only ones you're waiting for, that's why you're still here?" I closed my eyes because of my own question. I saw the woman smile.

"No, this is what we always do before we leave, even though someone else checks the luggage, Miss." I nodded, I thought it was because I was sleeping that's why they were still here. Why did he even carry me and put me to bed, I slept soundly. Tsk.

I went back inside the room and crossed my arms over my chest, looking at Ryker. I don't know if I should wake him up or just leave him here. But where will I go? Knowing that I don't know anything about Cebu.

I brought my index finger closer to tap him on the shoulder, and when this jerk woke up so we could get off the plane, my eyes widened when I saw him wide awake, staring at me while pointing at me.

"Uhmm, I'm trying to wake you up but then… y-you're already awake, sir." I said stammering and immediately hid my hand behind my back and squeezed it. I don't know what's on this man's mind.

He grinned and stood up, before he went out of the private room, he ruffled my hair, so I hit his arm.

"You're cute even when you're being snobby. I remember someone like that, I don't know if she'll still react like that when she's already snapping at me." He said and turned his back on me, smiling.

I gritted my teeth, thinking that he remembered his ex again. Where was she? And out of all the women, he compared me to her. You have such a thick face. Damn you, Ryker Sullivaño.

We rode to his friend's condo unit, and we'll be staying there for a week. There was a driver waiting outside the airport. I feel like the driver has been waiting for us for a while, hays. Why did we both fall asleep with Ryker.

We were sitting next to each other in the backseat, so I moved as far to the side as possible so that our skin wouldn't touch, even a strand of hair on my arm and leg, I don't want us to touch. Never.

When we parked in the basement of the condo unit, someone helped us carry our luggage upstairs. I was so grateful that we weren't in the same room. We were in separate rooms, just opposite each other.

When I entered my unit, I immediately went to the bathroom to take another shower because I felt sticky. Ryker told me about our schedule this week in Cebu while we were on our way here to the condo unit.

I sighed, staring at the bathroom mirror. I never thought that we would be in the same place with the man I've been trying to forget and hate. Fate loves to prank.

I let out a breath, I feel like my heart is getting tight.

What happened next? Will I confront him again about why he cheated on me before? He just did it to possess me, no feelings involved. He just wanted to f**k me and left me nothing.

What about Sebastian? Where is he now? Is he successful? He's probably married now. Will we ever see each other again? Maybe if we meet again, I'll just laugh that I liked him. I missed him, but as a classmate and a friend. Maybe if Ryker hadn't messed up my system, it would have been Sebastian, and maybe I would have made the move to court him, even though Ryker said before that Sebastian needed me more, I don't know if that's true, knowing that time I fell in love, real… really hard with the man who first broke my heart.

I heard a knock on the door, so I immediately washed my face, it's good that I haven't showered yet, or I would have panicked now. I immediately opened the door, maybe this man needed something. When I opened the door, he was outside, hands in his pockets. We looked at each other.

"Yes, boss? Do you need anything?" He was staring at me and I swallowed. I saw his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. He smiled.

"Are you alright, here?"

"Yes, sir." Especially when you're not here. I was about to add that, but I just held back my emotions.

"Good… then see you tomorrow…"

"Uhmm, yeah… see you Mr. Sullivaño." I said softly, I don't know how much I want to slap him now because of his gentle tone when he talked to me. While the other time he was yelling at me.

"Alright, good night, Ms. Corpez."

"Goodnight…" after he said that, I closed the door. I hadn't taken five steps away from the door when there was another knock. I went back and opened it.

I saw Ryker scratching his head at the back of his neck.

"Yes sir?"

"Uhmm if I don't wake up early, can you… can you wake me up?" He asked. I thought he could just set his alarm on his phone to wake him up.

I just nodded slowly and didn't say anything. While he was saying goodbye, I leaned against the back of the door for a few minutes, thinking. Besides, he might knock again, but it didn't happen.
