CHAPTER 12 “You’re joking right?” Matthew laughed with disbelief. I rolled my eyes at him. I can’t even imagine of how I got into a relationship with this guy! Nagulat na lamang ako nang hilahin ako ng marahan ni Mikael papunta sa kanyang braso. Our skin was touching, and I could feel the heat between us. His familiar scent has now a hint of mint, of which I think he got from his drink. Itinaas ko ang aking ulo at nagtama ang aming paningin. I saw how Mikael clenched his jaw. It only lasted for a second and we pulled away each other’s gaze. “I’m Mikael Jarren Valiente and you are Matthew, right?” Nakita ko ang pagkamangha ni Matthew nang ipininakilala ni Mikael ang kanyang sarili. As he should! Kilala ang mga Valiente sa larangan ng business industry. And Jarius Leonel Valiente, Mikael’s father is a multi-billionaire and ruthless businessman. Bukod pa roon, alam ng lahat na iisa lang ang tagapagmana nito, kundi ang kanyang nag-iisang anak. ‘Di hamak na mas maimpluwensiya at mayam
CHAPTER 13I closed my eyes as I tasted fresh mint from his mouth.Hindi ko maipaliwanag ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. With his lips moving against mine, I am now lost. When I looked at Mikael, he seems pleasured. The heat from our bodies just fueled something within each other, of which was making us feel this way.His hands travelled beneath my sundress but before he could do more, someone knocked at our door that made the both of us jump.Agad akong natauhan. We let each other go. I looked away from him immediately as he answered the door.Inayos ko ang aking suot at sinuklay muli ang buhok. That was… intense.Nagpatuloy ako sa pag-aayos ng aking sarili. Napansin ko na lamang na parang nakikipagtalo na si Mikael sa kung sino mang nasa labas ng pintuan. Hindi ko na napigilan ang aking sarili at agad na lumapit roon.“Where’s Mauveine? I want to see her.” The guy with a familiar voice asked him.Hindi ko narinig ang sagot ni Mikael, baka nga hindi talaga niya iyon sinagot. Tsaka sino b
CHAPTER 14 Nagpaalam na sa amin si Lynch nang tawagin siya ng isang magandang babae. Parang magkamukha pa nga sila. At hindi nga ako nagkamali. He confirmed that it was her older sister, and she was one of the reasons of why he is here. Nang tuluyan na siyang makalayo sa amin ay tinanong ko si Mikael. “Kakarating lang natin dito kaninang umaga, tapos pinapauwi na tayo ng dad mo?” Kumunot ang kanyang noo at tila napaisip ng malalim. “Sa tingin ko hindi naman siguro ‘yon ganoon ka importante.” Aniya. “Because if it is, dad himself would’ve called me.” He added. That makes sense. Kung ganoon, wala ba siyang balak na umuwi? Dahil kung ako naman ang tatanungin, ayaw ko rin. Alam ko na pag bumalik ako roon puro business meetings at kung ano-ano pang related sa kompanya ang aatupagin ko at sa tingin ko, ganoon rin si Mikael. Bukod pa roon ay aasikasuhin rin niya ang kanyang pag-aaral sa kolehiyo. “Hindi pa tayo uuwi?” “We’ll go back, the day after tomorrow. Why, do you want to?” I
CHAPTER 15 Agad akong napatayo sa sinabi niyang iyon at napaawang ang aking labi. My heart raced, it felt somehow satisfying rather than menacing. Mikael watched me intently. His gaze made my knees weak. Hindi ko alam kung ano ba dapat ang nararamdaman ko ngayon at kung ano ba dapat ang mga salitang dapat kong bitawan. Mahal na daw niya ‘yata’ ako? May ganoong bagay ba? Looking at his convincing stare just made me want to believe him. I bit my lower lip. “We s-should go back, it’s getting late.” Right after I said those words, I turned my back on him and started walking to the hotel. Habang humahakbang ako palayo, parang ang bigat ng pakiramdam ko. I feel like I’ve done a wrong thing and I also feel like a fcking coward. And I hate it. All he ever done is to make me feel this way. I shut my eyes close and took several breaths to clear up my mind to summon the courage within me to talk to him. From there, I started walking back to him. Nanatili pa rin siyang naka-upo kung saa
CHAPTER 16Matapos naming mag-breakfast ay niyaya na naman ako ni Mikael na i-try ang mga water sports nila dito sa kanilang resort. Wala na rin naman akong maisip na mapaglibangan kaya sumama ako sa kanya.Mas madami ang tao ngayon kumpara kahapon, kaya mas naging conscious ako sa aking suot. I’m wearing a yellow two-piece, which means I’m exposing almost entire of my skin. Kaagad ko nang isinuot ang aking dala-dalang white kimono cover up. Habang abala ako sa pagsusuot nito ay bigla na lamang nagsalita si Mikael na nasa tabi ko.“Your outfit looks good on you, Mauveine. Is there something wrong with it?” He huskily said and I just knew that it made me blush.“Ah---” bago ko pa man matapos ang sagot ko sa kanya ay nagpresenta siya na siya raw muna ang magdadala ng aking beach bag. Ni hindi na niya ako binigyan ng pagkakataon na makatutol pa roon.He was just watching me wear my robe. At nang matapos ay nagpatuloy kami sa paglalakad.My heart was uncontrollably beating fast by his ges
CHAPTER 17Halos hindi na ako makahinga ng maayos dahil ang lapit na namin sa isat-isa, bukod pa roon ay ang lalim ng titig niya sa akin. He licked his lower lip before speaking."You have to fulfill your duties as a wife to me, whether you like it or not.”It felt like the world stop right after those words came out from his mouth. Is he being serious right now? Why is he saying this? Ano kaya ang nakain niya at nagde-demand siya ng ganito?He's telling me to be faithful to him, and that is it!Mag tatanong pa sana ako sa kanya kung bakit pero nagsalita siyang muli.“And expect me to do my part. I will also fulfill my duties as a husband to you.” His eyes remained staring at mine and his words felt true.That was reassuring, but still... I have my doubts.“Is this for real? Bakit naman iyan ang naisip mo?” As I said the last word, I withdraw a step to keep a space between us and he only watched me do that.“Why not?” he replied shortly.Mukhang ang lakas talaga ng trip niya ngayon.

CHAPTER 18 I was on my way to the bar to unwind when my phone rang. When I took my phone out and stared upon the screen that’s when I knew, who was calling. “Hello, Mom…” my voice trailed out. Bakit napatawag si Mommy Valeen sa akin? “Mauveine, I’m sorry for calling you. Mikael is not answering my calls.” Her apologetic tone was evident. Talagang hindi masasagot ni Mikael ang mga tawag niya dahil nakita kong iniwan lang niya ang phone niya sa hotel, bago kami umalis roon. Ipinaliwanag ko iyon kay mom at naintindihan naman niya. At kung dinala man ni Mikael ang phone niya ay hindi pa rin niya iyon masasagot dahil abala siya panglalandi ng ibang babae. Remembering that scene just made me more irritated! Nang marinig kong muli ang aking pangalan sa kabilang linya ay muntik ko nang mabitawan ang phone ko. I was spacing out! “Mom?” It was a good thing that mom has a long patience that she repeated what she has said a moment ago. Importante siguro ang sasabihin ni mom dahil nagawa na
