DEVIL'S WRATH 1: Lucian Velorca (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 18

                "W-WALA siyang sinabi." My voice cracked under the weight of the emotions stuck beneath my chest.

Naiinis ako sa sarili ko, lalo na sa pagiging emotional ko. Kapag naiisip ko kasing umiiyak ako, I can no longer stop my eyes from spilling relentless tears.

"You can't fool me, I know, I can sense it. She told you something. Come on, my Milk, what is it? Tell me."

I answered with silence, bowed my head, and covered my face with my palm, but he immediately took my hands, wanting to see my face. I shook my head. I heard him deeply sigh and sit beside me.

"Damn, my Milk, I want to get mad at your actions right now. I hate it when you make me wait. But I can't resist you, so will you please talk to me? Let's discuss it. What did she say to you, hmm?" He removed my hands from my face and pulled me closer to him. I met his eyes filled with weary questions.

"I-Ikakasal na raw kayo next week." I bit my lower lip as I blinked my eyes and a tear instantly fell, thinking that they will get married. His brows furrowed.

"Ano pa?" he asked. He looked composed, but in his heavy sigh, I could hear his raging madness.

"P-Pinaglalaruan m-mo lang ako, at pinapalayas niya ako dito."

"Tsk, that conniving bitch! Come here." Hindi pa siya nakuntento at bigla na lang niya akong binuhat at ikinandong sa hita niya. I felt like I was a crying baby in his arms.

"Don't believe what other people say—just me." He wiped my tears. "Listen to me. Hmm?" His eyes settled on mine, and I could see nothing but sincerity.

"She will never be my wife, okay? So put that thought inside this pretty head of yours. She's not the type of girl I want to be with, because there's someone I would like to marry." I stared into his eyes, and my heart suddenly pounded so fast, I couldn't count.

"This woman I'm referring to is kinda beautiful, you know. She has a different kind of beauty that captured my eyes instantly. And this devil is going crazy because she's all I want in my life, and she's only mine. She's only mine." His words were too deep, almost leaving a mark on my skin, and I felt like I was melting under his gaze.

"And that Veronica can't ruin our wedding. There's no way I'll allow it, because my woman is destined to be tied only to me."

I fell into silence, as if I couldn't find any words to utter. Who was he referring to? My heart was beating so fast as if he was pertaining to me, but I could not be complacent. I never saw him bring a woman when I was still his secretary, but some women would line up just to talk to him. I am also aware that he often hooks up, fucks women, and leaves them after.

My heart constricted in pain, thinking there were a lot of women who came before me—and I'm not even sure if he doesn't have another woman behind my back. He's always out, and how should I know that he's only going to his company?

I was about to get up from his lap, but he suddenly pulled me close and instantly gave me a lifetime kiss. His lips were so smooth, and he kissed me as if he was assuring me that I was the only one he wants. I couldn't help but respond, like my heart was made to believe him. We both gasped for air when he let go of my lips, and my heart wildly beat as I stared into his deep eyes.

"Milk..." Napatulala ako dahil sa kakaibang paraan ng pagkakatawag niya sa akin. I can't explain it, but it made my heart beat.

"I wasn't able to ask this properly, but..." he held my hand as his thumb massaged the back of my hand while he stared at me softly, making my knees weak, my body shake, and my heart race.

"Will you marry me?" My lips parted. He was still staring at me, stirring different emotions inside. I was stunned—shocked and thrilled because of his question. This demon!
