Bella's POV
Nanatili akong nakahiga sa kama ko. Nakatagilid ako habang nakatulala sa may balcony.
"Bella."
Napahinga ako ng malalim ng marinig nanaman si Caden. Ilang beses nansiyang nagpabalik balik rito simula kaninang umaga.
Pumunta ito sa harapan ko kung saan naka-set up yung mini tray na may breakfast at yung lunch na kanina pa dinala rito. Hindi ko ginalaw yung mga pagkain dahil wala akong gana.
Dahil naka-harang si Caden sa harapan ko, umikot ako sa kabilang side para hindi siya makita.
"Don't fucking involve my child if you want to starve yourself til death." Rinig kong sabi ni Caden.
"If you didn't got me pregnant then I wouldn't be here being your prisoner." Galit kong sabi.
Bumangon na ako at umupo sa kama para harapin siya.
"You're not my fucking prisoner---"
"Talaga? The last time I checked, you went through my privacy and ruined my life and now you're keeping me here inside your house just because I'm carrying your fucking baby!" Galit na galit na sabi ko sakanya.
Kagabi ko pa gustong umalis rito. Gusto kong bumalik kina Evan pero ayaw niya na akong payagan. Ayaw niya ring umalis ako sa bahay niya.
Biglang sumama yung tingin sakin ni Caden.
"I'm just protecting you and our baby---"
"That's fucking bullshit. I should've known this would happen. " Pagputol ko.
"Sana hindi nalang ako sumama sayo o tinanggap yung tulong mo." Dagdag ko pa.
"You know what, mas okay pa na mamatay ako sa gutom o sa kalsada kesa sumama sayo. I'm not your fucking puppet Caden na kokontrolin mo kung kelan mo gusto!"
Napahinto si Caden dahil sa mga sinabi ko. Naghintay ako na magsalita ito o magalit pero---
"Fuck!" Mabilis na sinipa palayo ni Caden yung mini cart, dahilan para magkalat yung mga pagkain. Kinuha niya yung lamp shade sa gilid at hinagis sa sahig.
"Why? We're you expecting that your relationship with Francis will last long!? Huh!? Wake up Bella! Look what you've done. You ruined his marriage and his family! "
Tumayo ako para harapin si Caden.
"What does he even have that makes you fuck him----" Hindi ko na pinatapos si Caden at sinampal ko siya. Hindi ito umimik at nanatiling masama na nakatingin sakin.
"Francis was the one I had when I lost my dad. He was there when my whole life was a mess. I wanted to talk to Francis yesterday not because I wanted to broke up with him. Because I want him to realize that we're hurting a lot of people. I don't want his daughter to grow without him. I don't want to be the one who breaks their family just because mine is already broken." Napatigil ako nang maramdaman ko na tumutulo na pala yung mga luha ko.
"You don't know anything about me, Caden. You don't have any idea what I've been through." Dagdag ko pa.
Iniwasan ko na yung makilag-eye contact. Napatingin ako sa ibang direksyon.
"Kaya lang naman tayo nagbabahay bahay kasi nabuntis mo ako." Seryoso kong sabi.
"I know you're only concern about your baby. Fine, sa oras na manganak ako, iyong iyo na yang anak mo. I-I don't want anything to do with the both of you." Dagdag ko pa.
Alam ko sa sarili ko na hindi ko naman sinasadya yung huli kong sinabi. Pero namumuro na si Caden. Parang hindi pa siya kuntento na ang dami niya nang nasira sa buhay ko.
"You can't do that---"
"Yes I can. Tutal hindi mo na ako ma-bablackmail sa relasyon namin ni Francis. Wala na akong pake kay Francis at hindi na rin naman na ako mag-aaral. Wala kanang magagamit para sirain ako. " Pagputol ko sakanya.
Hindi ko rin naman hahayaan na mahiwalay rin ako sa anak ko. Alam kong magagawan ko rin naman ng paraan.
"Fine. " Seryosong sabi ni Caden.
Lumingon nako sakanya para magkatitigan kami.
"I'll keep the baby. But you'll be staying here until you give birth. After that, you're free. Don't worry, I'll give you enough money to start your life." Seryosong sabi nito.
"Keep your money. I don't want anything to do with you." Galit kong sabi.
Tumalikod na ako naglakad papunta sa bathroom. Agad kong sinarado yung pinto at ni-lock.
Hindi ako papayag na hindi ko makikita yung anak ko. Nasabi ko lang naman yun dahil galit ako. Everything is so fucked up.
Caden's POV
"You cancelled two meetings for the shareholders and two meetings with your new business partners that you need to have a contract signing. What's wrong with you Arguilles? Is everything alright?" Benedict asked.
He's not only my private investigator. He's one of my trusted men and colleagues.
"It's Bella." I said
"Bella? What's the matter now? You got her where you wanted her to be." Benedict said.
I took a deep sigh. What Bella said this afternoon keeps on echoing inside my head. I never thought she would say those.
"She doesn't want anything to do with my baby. Bella wants me to keep the baby after she gives birth, then she doesn't want anything to do with the two of us. She wanted to go away."
"I think Bella won't let that happen. I'm sure she won't let the baby grow without her given the fact that she had a broken family." Benedict said.
I frowned at him. He's got a point.
"You're right. Bella broke up with Francis because she realised that she didn't want to ruin someone's marriage and family. " I said.
"All I need is to make Bella realised that we can work. That we can be a family. I want her to realised that she's going to make the biggest mistake if she will let the our baby have a broken family like she did." I added.
This is going to be a new plan. I'm going to do everything to keep the both of them no matter what it takes.
See? I won't let anything separate us, Bella. I will always find a way to keep you. I ruined your relationship with that bastard and I'm doing everything it takes to make you stay with me.
You're the one who doesn't know me, Bella.
I always get what I want.
