Obsession Series #3: His Dangerous Obsession

CHAPTER 9

CHAPTER 9 : The ex

SAMANTHA VYRONICA FERRER POV

My heart was beating so fast. Not because i was overwhelmed to see him but because my system is overwhelmed with fear. Memory flashes before my eyes. Lahat ng sinapit ko sa kamay ng tao na 'to.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit pa siya nandito. Sa tinagal-tagal ng panahon. Bakit kailangan niyang magpakita ulit? Okay na ako eh. I was so fine, but why is he here?

He was smiling at me and was about to hug me when I stepped back. I doubled my step backward. Napansin ko kasi ang titig ng mga staff ng Starbucks. I know they know me. I also know na nahahalata nila.

I really think they know me as i give my name earlier. Kaya naman ay lumayo ako at ayaw ko ng gulo. After 2 years he’s back. After two years of being fine, he's back. Is he here to ruin my life again?

Naninikip ang dibdib na iniwasan ko siya. My hand is cold and shaking.

He stepped away from me but I could see him smiling even though i wasn't really looking at him. I can feel him smiling. “Sorry, I was too excited when I saw you. How’s life? You looked a lot more gorgeous than the last time we met”

I gritted my teeth. He's back at it again. Complimenting like the last time pero may masama palang balak. “I’m fine. Everything’s fine as always. I’m getting married so—” 

He cut me off and gave me a smug smile. “It’s just a fake marriage. It’s a contracted marriage. Ciervo's business is in bankruptcy. You cannot deny that reality. Well, wala namang maniniwala siguro na you two love each other, announcing marriage so fast after the announcement of bankruptcy?”

“And?”

Naglakad ako palabas ng Starbucks at dire-diretsong pumunta sa parking lot.
Nasa gilid ng Starbucks ang parking lot, and there are only a few people passing by.

“And?— and, no one will believe it even if you make up another story about how you two met like that. Dahil, just last January when he was still in the U.S he was on sex scandal. Which accumulated a lot of audience online. Hmm... Two women enjoying a man. Ironic,”

Napabuntong hininga ako at tsaka humigop ng aking inumin. I wonder why he follows me up here. Dahil gusto niya lang sirain si Dashell sa akin ganun ba?

The reality that the trauma i was suffering from was caused by this man in front of me and the thing he said makes my heart even clenched in pain.

“Don’t ask questions again, Radney. Don’t act like someone came out straight from a drama acting as the second lead who just broke up with the female lead and then chasing after her after knowing she’s in love with the male lead. And? Ano naman ngayon if he fuck another woman? Does it make you more of an angel?” pagtatapon ko ng salita sa kanya.

He was an emotionless animal that he doesn’t mind at all and just grabbed me by the hand. Ipinasok ko sa loob ng kotse ko ang aking inumin at tsaka nagpapapalag sa kanya.

“Ano ba?! Don’t tell me gagayanin mo nga?! You’re gross! Let me go!” he tightened his grip making me grasped in pain. Aba't talagang ang kapal din ng mukha.

I kept punching his arm until he captured both of my hands using only one hand. “Let me go!” sigaw ko.

Nagmamatigas ako ng napansin ko ang paghila niya sa akin patungo sa isang kotse.

“They’re brainwashing you! You don’t deserve him! Hindi kayo bagay dalawa! You two are far from each other! Look at the age gap! Hinding-hindi kayo magfi-fit sa isa’t isa! That man will never be yours! That man, is a fuckboy. He will just bed another woman habang ikaw nakatingga.”
