My Husband's Rival

CHAPTER 55

EIRLYS

               I DIDN’T LOOK away. I was just looking at Xelios who’s probably asking his life decisions. Ano? Nahihiya ka ba? You should be! Instead of kissing me, hindi mo ‘ko pinansin, huh?!

I shook my head to show how disappointed I am. Wala na akong pake kung ano pang isipin ng kapatid ko dahil sa inaakto ko. I’m done with Draven, anyway. Malaman man nila o hindi ang tungkol samin ni Xelios noon, it won’t matter.

I stood up. I’m leaving! Not because I don’t want him anymore, but because I want him to chase me! Kapag hindi niya ako hinabol, we’re done! For real!

“Eirlys, where are you going?” Kuya asked.

“Basta.”

I walked towards the door. I was touching my bump while walking. I’m wearing my white dress because ever since lumaki ang t’yan ko, puro dress na ang suot ko.

“Eirlys, wait,”

Oh, I wanna scream. He called me! For what? To say sorry? He should be! Gusto niya pa akong palabasin ng opisina kanina, huh?! I want to scream because the victory is mine!

Hindi ko siya pinansin. Tuloy tuloy ako sa pag labas ng office ni Kuya. I can feel him panicking and I know that any minute, lulutang si Xelios sa harapan ko.

I went to the waiting area of Kuya’s floor. Doon ako naupo at naghintay for Xelios. At hindi naman ako nabigo. I saw him running from somewhere, probably looking for me.

Para siyang nakahinga nang makita ako. I raised my brow when our eyes met. He took a deep breath or should I say he’s trying to catch his breath?

“Eirlys…”

“What do you want?” Tamad kong tanong dito.

My eyes widened when Xelios kneeled to level me. Kumunot ang noo ko sa ginawa niya, but I didn’t stop him. He’s not kneeling for something else. He’s kneeling because he wants to level me and refused to sit on the sofa.

“Is it true that you’re annulled?” He looks so hopeful.

My heart felt so warm. Why is he asking like that? Parang walang nag bago sakanya… he’s still giving me the same affection.

“And you’re just co-parenting with Blanco?”

I sighed. Ang gwapo niya. I want to slap myself because that thoughts was so random! I hate myself for thinking like that. Is it my hormones or something? E, paano naman kasi? The buzz cut looks so good on him. He looks like a hard fucker one.

What the hell.

“Yes.” I answered.

Nakahinga siya ulit nang maluwag sa sinabi ko.

“You saw us yesterday, yes?” I asked him. He nodded. “I talked to him about our baby and he wants to buy some stuffs for our little one that’s why we were together. We didn’t date or something. We’re not romantically together katulad ng iniisip mo,”

He pressed his lips together and nodded. “I’m sorry,”

Umirap ako. Sorry lang?! I imagined him kissing me once we see each other again!

“I saw you yesterday. I thought you gave him another chance and you are together again. I was so damn mad yesterday, Eirlys. I waited for you to come back and I gave you the space you needed. Seeing you together with that man broke me because I was so devoted to you.” He reached for my hand. “I’m really sorry because I chose to jump into my conclusions than asking you about the truth. I’m really sorry.”
