HIS ASSETS (Law of Attraction Series#2)

Chapter 45

I shouted as I stepped out of our house and ran as fast as I could. I need to see him, hindi ako papayag na masira kami ni Mom, she has no right to decide what's best for me. All my life was already controlled by her, I think this is the right time to stand for myself and for him.

I will fight for our love and nothing's gonna stop me from doing this.

He had already spent whole his life following my family's rules, he didn't have the chance to choose what he wants and what he love because of this fucking indebtedness he felt, and my mother made him feel that.

This time I will stand for him and fight for him, I'm not afraid of losing anything right now just to be with him.

He was the freedom I need, in his arms I feel nothing but love. His kisses made me feel like nothing gonna hurt me anymore. His simple touch matters, his happiness is my dream. I'll free him from the chain that locks him in, I will save him in any way I can. 

Wait for me Love, I run as fast as I can until I reach the gate of our subdivision and quickly ride the taxi.

"Saan po tayo, Ma'am?" the Driver asks while looking at the view mirror.

I sniff and wipe my tears up and speak, "Delavine's Condominium please" I said and look out the window, still busy wiping my tears and caressing my numb and swollen cheeks.

My cheek feels like it's beating on its own and numbness surrounds the other half of my face. After a minute, the taxi stops in front of Delavine's Condo and I hurriedly pay for the charges and quickly step out of the car and run inside.

"Miss Chantel, bakit ho kayo nandito?" I stop when one of the employees approached me. "I need to see, Kace," I said and ran past him. He called my name, but I didn't look back. He's not the reason why I'm here so I focused on the way to Kace pad.

I was running through the elevator and still heard someone call my name, I ignored it and ran faster but my heels suddenly broke their heel. "Fuck!" I hissed and quickly remove both of my heels and run with my bare feet. I immediately push the button to close the elevator as I step in; quickly push the 9th floor where his room lies.

My hands were shaking while my feet felt freezing because I was standing on the cold floor of this fully air-conditioned building. I hugged myself a bit to loosen the coldness and wait for this elevator to open.

I endured the pain of beating on my numb face and aching red eyes, I cried so hard that it hurt my eyes already. I keep sobbing the whole time until the elevator door opens; I hurriedly step out and walk fast to his room. My hand feels so cold.

My heart suddenly pounded so fast, as I took every step near to his room. Heavyweight suddenly falls on my chest. I stop when I hear the staff calling me again. "Really? He still followed me?" I whisper with disbelief.

I ignored him once again and continued walking as fast as I could. I can't run anymore. My feet are freezing.

When I stand in front of his door, my heart races so fast and it's hard for me to breathe. "Miss Chantel!!!!" The guy still calls me and runs towards my place, so I didn't bother to knock on the door and hurriedly open it and then lock it.

The lights were off, only the light from the moon created dim lights inside the whole place. It seems so silent and my heart keeps on pounding. I feel nervous all of a sudden.

"Love?" I call him and no one answers so I walk and open the lights inside the place. I was about to take a step when someone knocked on the door. "Miss Chantel" him again, hindi ba siya titigil? Did mom send him in to stop me from seeing Kace?

I walk with irritation to Kace's room and check him if he's sleeping already, "Love."

"Love are you asl----," I stop when I open the door and see nothing, I hurriedly check his bathroom and also see nothing, I look around the place and don't see any trace of him inside. "Where is he?" I whisper and keep looking around the place and as I end up in his closet area, I fear and slowly open the door and I see terror...

My heart beats crazily that it took me a minute to remember to breathe again. My eyes widened and my hair moved as the cold and empty closet showed. Wala itong laman ni isang gamit, I weakly step back and hurriedly grab my phone out of my pocket and try to contact him.

"The number you have dialed is either unattended or out of coverage area pl----," hindi ko na ito tinapos at sumubok muli.

I weakly step back when I reach 100 calls already but he still did not pick it up... after a second Kace door suddenly opens, and when I hear it I quickly run to it, but only to find out that the staff opens it using the spare keys. "Why are you here!!!" I asked and glared at them.

"Miss Chantel, Sir Kace already left with Miss Carmitte," I stiffed and weakly leaned on the wall to grab some support because my knees suddenly weakened. Carmitte was the girl he had a meeting with back then, I never saw her as a treat but I guess I was wrong.

"W-why?" I whisper and tears suddenly roll down my face. Why Kace? Why? Do you choose her while I choose you?

"Leave me," I speak, "Pero Miss Cha----," I cut him off,  "I said leave me alone!!!!" I shouted and they quickly disappeared around the place.

I was left alone here inside the cold and silent room... I can hear my heart beating so fast because of the loud silence. Tears kept on flowing and pain kept on running inside my whole system.

The numbness in my cheeks suddenly surrounds my whole body; I feel numb and hurt so bad that I can't breathe right now anymore. "Do you really choose her over me Kace? Tell me where are you? I'll---I'll---I'll chase you, Love," I whisper and cry harder. I asked and didn't receive any answers, only pain.

Does he really choose her? Why Kace? Bakit ngayong pang lumaban na ako para satin? Why did you leave me hanging alone?

"P-paano na ako?" I whispered and shook my head weakly. "Why did you choose her over me?"
