Mr. Wrong (Mr. Series #1)

Chapter 22

Nagulat na lang ako nang may biglang humablot ng kamay ko at hinila ako palayo kay Jhon Rey. Hinatak niya ako papunta sa likod ng cafeteria.

I was shocked when I saw Jhunel in front of me. My eyebrows met out of annoyance.

"What are you doing? Why did you bring me here?" asik ko sa kaniya. I felt my nerves were going to pop out soon. It was annoying whenever I saw him in front of me.

Pinakawalan niya ang kamay ko bago ako itinulak sa gilid ng building.

"Are you blind?" he asked me. "Are you doing this on purpose?"

My eyebrows automatically rose. "What are you talking about?"

"Aren't you aware that your father's minion is tailing you? He is telling every single detail of what you are doing whenever and wherever you are." He pointed to a man in the distance. That guy is wearing a student uniform like ours. Napasinghap ako. Kaya ba hindi ko siya kaagad napapansin o nadidiskubre dahil humahalubilo siya sa mga estudyante?

I frowned. Is he really the one who follows me and reports my actions to my father? He looks young.

"Malalaman ng ama mo ang patuloy mong paglapit kay Jhon Rey. That will definitely put you in danger."

"And what is it to you? Why are you so worried about me?"

"Because you're my fiance."

I snickered. "Don't act like we both agreed to that. You're making me sick, Jhunel. How many times do I have to tell you to stop bothering me anymore? This is the only place where I have the freedom to do what I want to do, and you're going to hinder me too? I am not your wife yet; you're dictating to me now. You suffocate me."

He didn't expect my sudden rage. My patience is running out now. I saw him grit his teeth the way his fist clenched too.

"I just want you to stay away from that guy because I know what kind of man he is. And if your father finds out about this, I'm telling you, he'll definitely punish you."

"Better, so that when I die I won't be able to marry you!" I spit.

Tianlikuran ko na siya pero muli niya lang kinuha ang braso ko at hinila pabalik.

"Why are you acting up like this, Sheen May? Seems like you're a different person now."

Natawa ako. "Sure I am. I am completely a different person now from how you knew me before. People change, and so do I. You could control and manipulate me before, but things are different now, Jhunel; you can no longer use me to satisfy your ego."

Umiigting ang mga panga niya habang nakatitig sa akin. "Sheen, our past relationship has nothing to do with this. I am just here to warn you. You don't know him, Sheen. I'm telling you. You need to stay away from him."

"Pwede ba? Huwag mo nang ipagdikdikan sa akin na hindi ko siya kilala. It's fucking tiring, Jhunel, showing off how much you know something better than I do. Are you going to say he's the same, huh?"

"I'm just helping you, Sheen. I want you to stay away from him. Can't you see I'm protecting you?"

Napangisi ako. "Ah, really? Sinong may sabing may karapatan ka? Besides, ikaw 'yong hindi nakakakita. He's the one protecting me from you. Ikaw ang masama rito, hindi siya. So don't accuse him of something he doesn't do."

He gasped like he was out of patience. "He's just using you, Sheen May. The reason why he is here is to seduce you. He knows that you are the daughter of his family's rival; that's why he moved here, to be close to you. He's manipulating you, and you don't seem to notice it. And that's what I discovered and was supposed to tell you. At bukod sa 'yo, may iba pa siyang babae."
