Mr. Left (Mr. Series #2)

Chapter 2

Hindi ako nakapagsalita. Kinuha niya ang kamay ko tsaka niya isinuot sa akin ang singsing na iyon.

I never thought I'd receive this kind of proposal in my life. I never imagined he would do this. Although it's not romantic and it was just for show, I feel something in my heart.

"It fits. I was about to give that to Quency." I frowned. He shouldn't have said that. He really knows how to break my heart.

"How can I wear this if it's supposed to be for someone?"

I was about to take it off when he held my hand and stopped me from taking it off. "Maybe it was meant for you; that's why I never had the chance to give this to her."

"Don't try to fool me. I'm not that stupid."

I took it off and gave it back to him. He was right when he said that he says what he wants to say without considering the feelings of the person to whom he's talking. Alam na alam niya talaga kung paano ako saktan.

"Can you just wear it for a while? Like a token of our agreement to use each other for our family's business."

I knew it. Why am I expecting something? I'm so stupid for feeling something for him just for giving me a ring. He never loves me and just wants me to marry to destroy my life.

"I can't believe you're agreeing with their idea. You're my last resort because I thought you'd oppose it," I expressed.

"Hey, you're hurting my ego by acting like you don't want to be me. Hindi mo ba 'to gusto? You love me, right?" he babbled. I was calm earlier, but now he's pissing me off again. I don't understand why his attitude suddenly changed like this. Inaaning niya ba ako?

"I want to slap you for saying that. Don't use my feelings to get what you want." I stared at him, but he seemed to be having fun annoying me.

He smirked. "Do you really know what I want?"

"No, I just know that you're a player."

He smirked. "How did you know?"

He moves closer to me.

"I just knew it."

"Hmm, you're right. So can we agree to this marriage and divorce after their business comes back to a good state?" I don't think that's the only reason he wanted this marriage. I knew how he hated me before. Why did he suddenly change his thoughts?

"Anong binabalak mo? Why do you suddenly want to get married to me?"

He heaved a sigh. "Look, I didn't really want this before, but our family needs us. You need me to build your reputation again and to have a father for that child."

Tiningnan ko siya, habang kinukumbinsi ang sarili kong maniwala sa kaniya. I know he won't do this just because his family told him to. I remember him saying that he abandoned his family because they opposed his marriage to someone he loved. What is he hiding?

"What's in it for you?" I asked as the discussion with Professor Magalona came back to mind. Humans don't do anything that isn't beneficial. There's always an agenda for everything.

He sat on the bed. Beside me. He caressed my hand, which surprised me. "Look, I have no choice either. I'm just trying to enjoy this idea of ​​them." Hinaplos niya ang mukha ko. Agad namang kumunot ang noo ko.

"What are you doing?" I tried to stop myself, but I could smell his scent because he was near me, and it was tempting me.

"Guess."

He leans closer to me, looking at my lips. Hindi ako nakahinga nang maglapat ang mga labi namin. Automatic na napapikit ako sa ginawa niya at bumawi ng halik. Nanghihina ako. Nanglalambot. Paano niya 'to nagagawa sa akin?
