THE RUTHLESS WHO OWNS ME ✓

Chapter 16

I thought leaving this house with Maddox is a start for a new life for me and for us but it turns out not. It was really painful seeing Maddox and Massimo fight in front of me, like it's stabbing my heart because I know for sure I am the reason. Thus, I'm guilty for being the reason. I know I'm new in Maddox life nor on his friends life, yet I can easily smash their friendship just because of love.

Imagine? Love can change everything. Imposible things can be possible yet love can break everything too, even the strongest relationship just like friendship.

After I ran away from the scene Maddox immediately look for me and he found me silently crying. I was heartfeltly telling him my sorry and he just told me he doesn't mind breaking friendships as long as it means keeping me on his arms.

And again, can you imagine how creepy it is?

Love is indeed powerful and I'm sure it's the most powerful feeling. Love is bittersweet. Yeah, it's a bitter mixed with sweet touch and I don't know what should I do now.

Moreover, after Maddox cheered me up last night, he and I kept silent. Hindi siya nag tanong, hindi siya nagsalita but I can still feel him caring me. It was a very long night for me. I'm afraid everything will change because of what happened last night and if yes everything change, saan ako lulugar?

"Maligayang pagbabalik Maddox! Avi!"

Malapad ang ngiti ni manang ng salubungin niya kami. Maddox is the one holding the bags for me.

"Thank you manang, how's your days spent here?" I asked.

"Ipapasok ko muna 'to sa kwarto." Maddox said and I nodded.

Napansin yata ni manang ang hindi magandang mood ni Maddox kaya nawala ang ngiti sa labi niya. Mag-uusap na sana kami ni manang dahil hinila ko na siya ng mag ring ange cellphone ni Maddox. He left the bags on the floor and went outside as he answered the phone call.

"Mukhang hindi maganda ang mood ni Maddox. May nangyari ba?" Nag-aalalang tanong ni manong. I nodded in dismay.

"Anong nangyari?"

I sighed. "Nag-away po si Maddox at Massimo sa resort ng kaibigan nila. Kung saan ako dinala ni Maddox. Hindi pa po namin napag-uusapan 'yon manang but I think I'm causing too much trouble on Maddox's side." I honestly stated.

"Naku, huwag mong isipin 'yan Avi. Mahal ka ni Maddox. Sa pagmamahal normal lang talaga ang mga problema, ang mahalaga e 'yong dalawa kayong lumalaban." She answered smoothly and wink at me. Well, naging magaan 'yon sa part ko. I'm happy I am able to share my sentiments to manang. I want to open up with Maddox but I'm afraid he would miss interpret me.

"Maiba tayo Avi, ano bang meron sa resort na pinuntahan niyo?"

Dahil sa tanong ni manang ay muling bumalik sa isipan ko ang mga masasayang tagpo sa Love Islet. I'm ready to share with her that amazing Islet when someone grab my arms.

I wince and look at who's holding me.

"My A, come with me aalis muna tayo."

There's a hurry in his voice kaya agad akong tumango kahit hindi ko man naiintindihan kung bakit. Actually, I am tired and I think I need a rest but if Maddox says we need to go then sasama ako.

"Manang, if someone look for me tell them I'm out."

Manang nodded and fastly held the bags Maddox left on the floor.

I am eager to asked Maddox to where we are going. If the phone call he answered has something to do with what he's acting right now but I couldn't find the courage to ask so I remain silent.
