Playing Wicked Games (Mondejar Series 1)

Kabanata 8

-Make it out-
Kabanata 8

I stood silent and let them talk. This whole story is nothing because everything will go into the trash after I break up with Jacob.

"I will explain everything later, Avyanna; just-Ven get out!" Jacob shouted. I flinched and pulled my hand away from his grasp.

"This is my office, Jay." Noam.

"You are in my company's building, Ven. Get out."

Jacob spoke in an authoritative voice.

Napangisi ako ng napagtanto iyon ang dahilan kung bakit bigla niya akong hinila sa papasok sa sasakyan niya dahil akala niya ako yung babaeng malandi na papayag sa kahit ano.

"This is about the deal, right?" I asked. I already know the answer; I just wanted to see Jacob's blanched face.

Noam looked at me with a pitying expression.
Naiinis ako hindi sa sinabi niya kundi sa paraan ng pagtingin nya sa akin. Lalo lang nilang dinadagdagan ang namumuong galit sa dibdib ko. I let my guard down again. But this time, it's my ex's brother.

"And he brought you from his filthy bar?" Don't tell me you're still that desperate junior girl from before. Hmm." Lalo lamang naapakan ang dignidad ko sa mga sinasabi nya. I'm not the same girl who's desperate for love and affection!

"Javen just shut up!" It's my relationship, not yours!" Jacob shouted.

"You don't have to explain; I already know the answer." I said, plastering a blank expression on my face.

All this time, he thought that I was along the line of flirty b*tches that he could get whenever he needed them. I agreed to be his girlfriend, but kahit saang anggulo tignan kabit ako. He tried to catch my hands, but I swayed them away from him.

"Good afternoon, I have to finish my work. Excuse me, please."

"And she's an employee here." "Just wow, Jay, wow."

I sprint out of his office, kahit na naririnig ko pa ang pagtatalo nila. Unang pagkikita palang namin ng kapatid niya ganito na agad ang nangyari. And worse, I'm the mistress here. Ako yung walang karapatan pero nakilala agad siya ng magulang ko. How could he show his thick face in front of my family while he had a girl to be tied to? Wala akong ibang nararamdaman kundi pagkapahiya at galit, he makes me feel like I'm a whore.

Pagkababa ko sa floor namin ay naabutan ko pa si Trinity na inaayos ang gamit habang may kausap sa telepono. Ng napansin niya ako kaya lumapit sya sa akin at ngumiti.

"Avy, oh my gosh, I miss you." Trinity. Tumango lang ako habang nagpipigil ng luha.

I quickly fixed my things and burst out of the building. Nakapagpasya na ako, bukas magresign na ako sa company, and I will take my respective position in my dad's company.

"Ma'am, sabi po ni Mr. Mondejar, bumalik daw po kayo sa office niya."

"Sabihin mo sa boss mo, I quit." Excuse me."

Tinikom nalang ni manong guard ang bibig niya dahil sa pagsusungit ko, and ngayon lang akong umaktong ganito sa harap ng mga katrabaho ko, so I feel guilty for my actions. Mabilis kong pinuntahan ang sasakyan para makaalis na sa lugar na ito. I drive through my condo to relax. Isang linggo akong nag leave, but it doesn't matter now since I'm going to quit my job.

Pagkapasok ko palang ng pinto ay tumunog na ang cellphone ko. Hindi ko ito sinagot dahil alam kong si Jacob ang tumatawag.

I felt this day was too much. Mabilis akong nakatulog ng hindi alintana ang ingay ng cellphone ko. Pagkagising ko ay agad akong naghilamos at nagsipilyo. I wore a tank top and fitted jeans with heel boots to breathe some air from the bar. I'm not the kind of person who goes to the beach or a quiet place to think and unwind, dahil pakiramdam ko nag-iisa akong namomroblema sa sitwasyon na kinagagalawan ko.
