He who she loves

Chapter 41

"I will be better for you, Brielle"

I smiled and held his hand.

"I know that you may disagree and tell me that I am already good enough, but I wanted to be better because you deserve all the great things"

"I always want to make you feel that you're held close without suffocating you. I want to be the first person to be there for you without crossing your boundaries. And I want to be your partner, friend, lover all at once, and if you let me, I want to be your husband too because I see my future with you so I want to be better for you, then you wont regret choosing me"

I don't know what got into him, is he really afraid that I might leave him? I just held his hand, closed my eyes and I leaned my head on his shoulder.

"I was really scared when I saw you with Liam. No matter how hard I try to stop myself thinking about it, I just can't. I was afraid and almost let you go because I was scared that you're not happy with me"

I opened my eyes and looked at him. I felt really bad whenever he opened up about what he felt.

"You aren't supposed to think like that, Alexander. When I say I love you, I mean it. How can I let you go? When you're the best thing that ever happened to me"

He smiled and gave me a peck in my lips. "I love you so damn much, Brielle. I promise I won't make you cry"

I smirked. "You should keep your promise huh?"

He nodded his head. "I will, for as long as you want me. I'll stay with you"

"The only thing that matters is you make me happy. I love you, Alexander."

Assurance and consistency hits hard.

"I want to buy this one!" Naka nguso ng sambit ni Ansella. She's referring to the Prada bag.

"Stop, Ansella '' warning tone in Phoenix.

Natatawa kong hinampas ng mahina sa balikat si Ansella. "Better luck next time, Ansella"

She rolled her eyes. "I hate you both"

I chuckled. "Ang dami mo ng bag. Aanhin mo ba lahat ng iyon? Hindi mo naman magagamit ng sabay sabay"

"Right? I kept telling her about it, nagagalit pa sya sa akin" reklamo naman ni Phoenix.

Simula ng nagbukas ang business ko, ginawa na nilang tambayan. Kapag maraming bumili, tinutulungan naman nila ako. I'm just really grateful because I have them.

"You can still run away from her, Phoenix. May oras pa" pagbibiro ko.

"Should I?"

Isang batok ang natanggap nito mula kay Ansella. Hindi ko maiwasan na hindi matawa.

"You sadist!"

"Nabalitaan mo ba? Pauwi na daw sila Liam, galing Europe"

It's been 5 months since Liam and Ciella got married. They went to Europe for their honeymoon.

"I heard from Alexander," I answered.

"Ang pait din ng love story niyo non eh no? Hindi pa nag uumpisa natapos na" pagbibiro nito.

I smiled. "Maybe because we're not meant for each"

"I'm just really glad you know. That finally Liam met someone who loves him."

She smirked. "Do you think Liam really loves her? I can't tell by just looking at them, he doesn't love her. It's all about money, Brielle"
