Semua Bab A Husband For The Wild Heiress: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Tulala si Tala habang pinagmamasdan ang patuloy na pagbayo ni Argus sa pinto ng kanyang work room. Gusto niyang umalis doon, o kahit man lang mag-isip ng paraan upang maipagtanggol niya nag kanyang sarili kung sakaling tuluyang makapasok si Argus sa silid na kinaroroonan niya. Subalit tila siya itinulos sa kinatatayuan niya. at ni hindi niya magawang kumilos.She still cannot believe that it was Argus who've abducted her-- the very person she considered her only friend inside the palace.Agad na napuno ng mga tanong ang isip niya. She even felt stupid as to why she hadn’t had any clue that it was Argus who took her when his eyes were already a giveaway and his absence for a few days too. Maybe because she trusted him and considered him a friend.Stupid! Stupid!“Open the door, la mia stella!” singhal ni Argus sa labas ng pinto, patuloy pa rin sa pagbayo roon.As soon as she heard what he called her, she instantly snapped back to reality and began to move.The nerve of the bastard to c

Tala was silent as she watched people come and go inside the palace—all frantic to stop the fire consuming the east wing. Nasa labas na sila ng palasyo, sa mismong lawn sa harap niyon. Kasama niya roon ang ilan pang miyembro ng royal family na kani-kanina lang ay nagtatalo. She really didn’t know what happened as she was still reeling from what Argus had done earlier that day. But she overheard that a small fire suddenly broke out from the library at kasama nitong natutupok ang isa pang silid na nasa tabi nito. She shot a glance at Prince Adrian, Knoxx’s father, who was talking to one of the officers from the fire department. Kasama nito sina Ares at Knoxx. It has been like that for a few minutes now. At hindi man niya maintindihan masyado ang pinaguusapan ng mga ito, she can surely see the frustration and disappointment from the face of Knoxx’s father. Hinigpitan niya ang yakap kay Atlas na noon ay karga-karga niya. Mabuti na lang at nakaidlip na ito. Napagod na siguro sa kakaiyak

“Seriously? A big bike?” ani Tala kay Knoxx nang makita niyang ang luxury big bike nito ang gagamitin nila sa pagpunta sa kung saan mang lugar siya nito balak dalhin.Ngumisi si Knoxx, pinabukol ang dila sa pisngi nito. “Why, I thought you liked having fun, mi bella.”Umirap siya, humalukipkip. “Dati ‘yon.”Nagsalubong ang mga kilay nito. “What difference does it make now?’She scoffed. “Anong what difference does it make now? I have a son. No, erase that. We have a son. Fun is nice but seeing Atlas grow and have a family of his own is way nicer. Meaning, I won’t take my chances on your bike. I’m way past the age of having fun, Knoxx. Besides, I’m wearing a friggin’ dress. Now be a good husband, go get your car and make your wife comfortable,” utos niya sa lalaki.Knoxx chuckled, amusement in his eyes. Agad itong bumaba sa big bike nito, tinanggal ang helmet bago humakbang palapit sa kanya. As usual, his simple move took her breath away. Knoxx could probably be doing the simplest of

“Thank you, Adela,” ani Tala sa maid matapos nitong isilbi sa harap niya ang teacup na may lamang tsaa.Bumalik siya sa private quarters nila ni Knoxx, the one her small family had been staying at after she was abducted. Doon siya iniwan ni Ander. Ang sabi nito, babalik din daw ito agad. Nagbilin pa ito na ‘wag aalis sa quarters nila hangga’t hindi dumarating si Knoxx. Mabuti na lang dumating si Adela bago tuluyang umalis si Ander. She wouldn’t have to bore herself alone while waiting for Knoxx to return.Maingat niyang dinala sa bibig ang teacup at sumimsim ng tsaa. Adela served her jasmine tea, one of her favorites. Hindi pa siya nag-aagahan but the tea is enough for now.“Would you want me to get some freshly bakes pastries from the kitchen, Ms. Tala?” ani Adela maya-maya.Nagsalubong ang kilay niya. “The kitchen is baking even at this hour?”Kumurap si Adela, bumukas ang pag-aalinlangan sa mukha. “N-no... I mean, y-yes, Ms. Tala.”Natigilan siya. Freshly baked pastries are usuall

Knoxx slowly walked over at them and Tala made sure she’d look at him with a straight face. She wanted to show him that she’s unfazed by his arrogance and indecent presumptions. She wanted him to know that for the past two weeks, there were no trace of struggles on her part as she recovers from the heartache he caused. She could do that. She’s a pro in pretending, wasn’t she? However, as soon as he had a whiff of is familiar scent tinged with alcohol, her mind wandered. Why does he smell of alcohol? Has he been drinking? Why? Was he suffering too secretly? Impossible. He looked happy with Genevieve, the one that’s meant for him from the beginning. To make matters worse, the knot on her stomach turned tighter when he looked at her the same way on the last night they were together two weeks ago. Natapos lang ang pagtitig nito sa kanya nang magsalita si Atlas. “Daddy, you’re here!” masiglang bati ng anak, mabilis na yumakap sa ama nito. Knoxx’s face turned soft in an instant, marah
