"If we haven't crossed that damn line and I never accepted that stupid offer from your mother, it would have saved us both from this torment, don't you think?" I looked at his now bloodshot hazelnut eyes.
...Mindful to hide what I truly feel.
"How can you say that?! Just how? Hmm? After all the sacrifices we have made? Konting tiis at oras lang naman ang hinihingi ko love!"
His thundering voice echoed around the office as he balled his fists staring back at me. Those beautiful hazelnut orbs, I wish I could stare at them forever. But I now know I couldn't.
This is for you, love. Everything is for you.
"I don't know, I'm tired and I want out. I have my right naman diba? Tapos na ang contract, I arranged everything with our lawyers at may pamalit ka na nga ata sa akin eh, It'll be easy for you." I smirked.
I crossed my arms and secretly caressed my hand to stop my self from the verge crying.
He was the one who is supposed to be doing this, but I fumbled and ruin everything. Ruin him and everything from him.
"Ahh so this is about your jealousy-"
"Oh yes Mr. Dela Frontera! I am indeed jealous, and I don't want that, it's sickening! I dont want to be insecure, I don't want to feel threatened. Nababawasan ang self worth ko, and that's because of you! You are no good for me!" I cut him off
His eyes widened and was about to hold my arms ng iniwas ko iyon at lumayo sakanya.
I can't take the risk of coming back at him again, I'll ruin him
"B-but I-I can f-fire her naman if that's what you want l-love. Just please wait for me, o-okay? Promis k-konting oras pa..." I heard the crack of his voice while he pleaded.
When will this end? I want to just run far away from everything... with him.
"I can't Dela Frontera. Baka nakakalimutan mo ata, I am a person not fond of waiting, I prioritize myself over anything since then diba?" I paused and smiled again.
"Fire her right now, and maybe I can give you a chance. But of course you won't do that. You need her to save your oh-so-important-empire! Nakakabanas na hindi ako ang priority mo!" I gathered all my strength to say that.
I witnessed how important the empire was to him. To everyone around us... And of course to me.
I am tracing my way around his office when I said the most ridiculous thing.
"And what makes you think that I'd drop my walls for you, Allistair?"
I saw he was taken a back from what I said. That was me in the past. A self-centered bitch. I know he would believe me this time.
I went to his table, removed the diamond ring from my finger and dropped it on the glass of whiskey.
"Right. You're damn right Ad" like a moment of realization hit him and lowered his head.
A moment of silence enveloped us until he spoke again.
"You know... They warned me about you. Actually almost everyone w-warned me about you about being this
And you know what... right now, I just couldn't-I couldn't help but to regret not listening to them, love"
A tear fell from his eyes. The first time I actually saw him cry.
I turned my back at him. I can't afford seeing him like this, not now that I already went too far.
"Aww how unfortunate for you Mr. Dela Frontera. Though I'm glad you're now regretting you met me."
I victoriously laughed. Literally laughing my pain out.
And there I heard him sob. I love you, I love you. I wish I haven't done this.
But I can't stop now.
"Y-you can still come back for me th-though, you l-love me right? Or you have at least loved m-me right, throughout this relationship?" His body was literally shaking from crying.
I handed him my resignation letter together with the contract and dicorce papers.
It's now or never, Ad. This is for him and him only.
"Oh I'm sorry to tell you this Mr. Dela Frontera but I can only love myself"
