Avoiding The Mafia (COMPLETED)

Chapter 52

Athena POV

I immediately left the hospital, desperate to get away far enough. I suddenly felt suffocated by what I had seen. The street was not that busy as it's already nine in the evening. The moon serves as the light to the way I was taking.

"CELENE!" napahinto ako sa malakas na tawag na ito. Pero hindi ko ito binalingan, I know exactly who is it.

I was about to walk again when suddenly he got a hold on me tightly. He turned me toward him.

"Let me go!" I weakly said. I didn't have the energy to even get angry.

But then, he didn't let go and he's presence started to piss the hell in me. The surging anger I was fighting just burst out.

"LET ME GO!" I shrieked.

He immediately clicked his tongue in disappointment. "Stop acting this way!" his brow furrowed already.

I scoffed. I bit my lips as bitterness overflow in me. "Of course I shouldn't act this way, right! Sino nga ba naman ako sayo?" nanlilisik kong matang tanong sa kanya.

He massaged his temple and then looked at me. "You saw it wrong!" he said, restraining himself.

My eyes slit in anger. My forehead creased. "I saw it wrong? That bullshit! .. I saw how you kiss Fiona! "

"I didn't kiss her!"

"Don't lie to me!" I screamed, menacingly.

"I didn't kiss her, baby!" he repeated.

For God sake! Why kept on lying? Sa sobrang galit ko, tuluyan na akong naluha.

Why did he have to confuse me? When I'm so near to moving on?

"Don't call me Baby!.... Baka nakakalimutan mo! We're over two years ago!" I retorted, making him remember that we're done. And now I need to distance myself. I couldn't afford to get hurt again.

He grunted. "Who says?" he asked coldly. I could see his jaw clenching. And I could feel his hold getting tighter.

But I have to try harder. I need him gone! Ayoko ng maulit yung pangyayari sa past.

I cleared my throat as it's restraining me to speak properly. I heaved a long sigh before I could muster to respond. "The day you get back the ring!" I trailed off as I cocked my head away from him. "And please... Stop spreading rumors that we're still fiancee... cause from what I remember you're not my fiance!"

I hitched my breath when he laughed mockingly and menacingly. "If I'm not, Celene, sino?"

I know I should stop, he's mad but what should I do to make him leave?

"Warith Rushtan!" I blurted out lying at the same time, true. He was once my fiancée but I broke it two years ago. And if accepting Warith's proposal will distance myself from the Zanturis, then maybe it's time I accept him into my life.

But then, I swallowed when Ace smirked evilly. He pulled me to him as he whispered, "Baby, Don't test my patience!"

I pushed him away but damn it's futile. Napatungo na lang ako habang hinahayaan ang luha kong tumulo. "Why can't you just go back to your Fiona and feast her lips?"

I swear I felt his breath in my head as he said, "Last warning.. Don't test my patience!" in a cold and menacing way.

But I couldn't care less! I want to get away from him. Even if I had to say mean things. "Just leave me alone and be gone.. Masaya na sana ako! Bumalik ka pa! Dapat sana nagpakasal na lang ako kay Warith eh para wala ng problema"
