A Royal Contract (Royal Series #1)

40

"Ma, I don't wanna go there," I looked at my laptop as I pinched my nose to frustration talking to my Mom on the phone.

"Your Dad's orders, please come home," I closed my fist to contain all my frustrations to my Dad. "Yeah, yeah, yeah." I closed my eyes after the call ended. 

I did continue looking for someone in Gervasia while I'm still here. I need to go back to Heliocus because of I don't know what. Sinarado ko ang laptop ko sa sobrang inis ko. Ilang taon na akong naghahanap wala pa rin. 

"Totoo bang nandito sya?" I tsked. 

Morning came, I grabbed my things and went to the airport. I loosened my tie as I enter the plane. I sat down beside the window and just look outside while it is taking off. "I'll have this," 

Binasa ko yung nasa newspaper, napakunot ang noo ko saka ko sinira yon. Ilang taon nang nakakalipas hanggang ngayon, nandito pa rin kami sa issue na 'to. Wala na bang ibang pwedeng pag-usapan ang mga tao ngayon?! 

Nagising ako saka ako nginitian ni Kuya Arman. "Pa-land na po tayo, sakto po ang paggising ninyo," 

I ignored him as I put my airpods together with my trench coat. "I can carry my bag, don't mind carrying it," I stood up saka naunang lumabas sa plane.  

"Brooo, welcome back!" 

Tinanggal ko ang salamin ko saka tinanggal ang trench coat ko. "Musta, bro?" tinanguan ko lang si Cameron at nakipag-hand hug kay Cyden. 

"Did you find her?" 

"If I had find her immediately, she will be with me here today," lumabas kami sa airport saka dumiretsong sumakay sa limo. "Ilang taon ka roon, ah?" 

I didn't answer him I just heaved a sigh and look outside the window. Where are you Maica? 

Hindi ko pa nahahanap si Maica, nagkaroon na agad ako ng bagong problema! Hindi ko alam sa Tatay ko bakit kailangang maghanap ng iba, mukha bang kasalanan ni Maica yung nangyari?! Ni hindi ko nga kilala yung bagong pinalit sa kanya. 

"Nice, what a perfect material for a crown princess," I'm not even listening to their conversation, tapos ganito ang bungad sa akin. "Wait, what?!"

Napatingin silang lahat sa akin pare-parehong gulat and I was just looking to my father, knowing that we had a deal?! Ano 'to, bakit may ganito?! 

"What's the matter? You don't like her, Chance?" Father raised a brow. 

I don't know what to do! Bakit sila biglang nag-dedesisyon ng hindi ko alam?! Hindi na ba mahalaga yung desisyon ko ngayon?! "I'm telling you this, the both of you will get married before this month ends."

I scoffed as I left the dining area. Dumiretso akong likod-bahay ng mansyon, nakita ko ang picture namin ni Maica bago mangyari ang treason ng Tatay nya. Hawak-hawak ko ang picture frame nang pumasok ang Tatay ko rito.
