Forcedly Yours [R-18]

Chapter 25

May itim na sasakyan na naghihintay sa amin paglabas namin ng hotel room.

Nagtatanong ang mata na tiningnan ko si Leyton pero ngumit lang siya at pinagbuksan ako ng pinto.

"Nag-rent ka ng sasakyan?" tanong ko nang nagsimula na siyang mag drive.

Umiling siya at ngumisi ng bahagya sa akin. "Nah, this one's mine, Kitten. I come here often forbwork and to visit Silver so I had to get my own car," sagot niya habang nagmamaneho.

Tumango ako. "Oh, okay. I guess that makes sense," sagot ko. "Hindi na ako masosopresa kung may bahay ka din dito," natatawang pagbiro ko.

He glanced and gave me a half smile. "In fact, I do, wife. Although, it's not exactly a house. Silver and I both have our own condo unit in one of my business associate's building," anunsiyo niya.

Hindi makapaniwala na napatitig ako sa kanya. "Oh," tanging usal ko. I guess that makes sense, too. Napakunot ang noo ko nang may pumasok sa isip ko.

"What's that look, wife?" Tanong niya nang mapansin ang pananahimik at mukha ko.

I bit on the inside of my cheek. "Why didn't you let us stay there, then?"

Lumabas na sa bintana ang hiya ko nang sinabi ko 'yon. Our hotel was fancy and I know it was very expensive but it would make sense for him to let his wife stay at his condo, right?

My emotions and logic are clouding my thoughts. I even know I sound ungrateful with all these thoughts in my head but the only thing I could think was maybe...maybe that's where he brings all his women. Or brought. He did tell me he hasn't been with anyone else ever since he saw me years ago. Hindi ko pa rin alam kung papaniwalaan ko 'yon. That is almost impossible.

Hinawakan ni Leyton ang kamay ko habang ang isang kamay ay nasa manubela.

"The condo is too far from the places you and your sister went to, Kitten. I guess, I also wanted to treat you to a nice hotel," sabi niya bago huminga ng malalim. "Well, that and fucking Reid decided he wanted to stay there for a few days while his own condo was being renovated."

Lumipad ang mata ko sa kanya. "Reid is here in Paris?"

Tumango siya at lumiko sa intersection. "Yeah, he had to attend a conference and it was very close to the condo," sagot niya.

Tumango lang ako. He smiled and kissed my hand.

"He went back yesterday, I think with the same flight as your sister and I had the place cleaned. We're staying there for the rest of our time here," kaswal na sabi niya.

"Paano ang mga gamit natin?"

"I already had them transferred, baby," he answered.

We remained quiet for the rest of the ride. He held my hand, his thumb tracing my palm with lazy strokes as I looked outside and admired the infracture and beauty of Paris. We stopped in front of a huge building several minutes after and Leyton opened the door for me and threw the keys to the valet.

Agad na napansin ko ang iilang tao na nagpose sa harap ng mga camera bago pumasok sa loob ng building. Some of them looked like they were models, too. I suddenly felt unsure of myself.

Leyton squeezed my hand before kissing the side of my head.

"You look beautiful, wife," he whispered as if to cheer me on.

He was the beautiful one. He was dressed impeccably as usual and he even looked like he could be a model. I guess I don't look half bad with my metallic blue tube maxidress and black high-heeled shoes. I did my own makeup which was minimal but I liked how I looked. I always like looking all natural with rosy cheeks and light cat eyeliner.
