THE HOT CEO's ASSISTANT

CHAPTER 31

Astreus Lynx Perveus’s POV

“Why are you holding your belly like that? You won’t get pregnant, don’t worry” I glare at him and was about to kick him on the face but he quickly grab my ankle and glare back at me.

“Stop it Astreus, if you don’t stop I will be force to lock you up” He said while frowning, he look around and glance at me but I look away.

“Lock me up, do you think I can still walk after what you did? It’s still throbbing you m*ron!” I uttered while frowning.

“I did that on purpose though” I glare at him again but he just smirk at me, he never smile this whole year but now.. he’s smiling at me.

“Why are you suddenly smiling?” I asked while staring at the album na nakalagay lang sa gilid ko, dapat pala hinampas ko yan sa ulo n’ya kanina.

“Remember? I only smile at my beloved even with my family I don’t smile, because they can’t give me the happiness you used to give me” He said and lay down beside me.

“How can I remember that.. i’m f*cking have an amnesia, it’s just weird that I remember my family but I didn’t remember you” I said while staring at the ceiling.

“They’re not your real family” Napakunot ako sa sinabi n’ya kaya bahagya akong bumaling ng tingin sa kan’ya at binigyan s’ya ng nag tatakang tingin.

“You don’t have a siblings Astreus, you real mother can’t have a child anymore but your parents that I know is love you so much” He said that made me frozen in shock.

T-then.. Trisha and Tristan..

“The two kids they’re probably orphan but i’m more curious how did you get involved with them, it’s impossible for your parents to sell you to someone else” He said while playing my hair.

“Do you want to know everything? I will tell you, give me a kiss first” I glare at him because even in this situation he can still make jokes, he raised his eyebrow so I sigh and give him and quick kiss but he grab my head and deepen the kiss.

“Much better, okay listen to me” I just let him wrapped his arms around my waist and stare at me.

“I found out you are Astreus because of the ring you said was a promise ring, I know the ring I gave you years ago and it is the same as your ring, I’ve known for a long time but I don't want to trigger your amnesia so I thought I’d just keep quiet and let you remember everything by yourself” Seryosong sabi n’ya.

“So that’s why you let me live here in your house?” I asked and he nod without hesitation.

“Yes everything is already planned, but my payment of your debt is not included, when I found out that you have so many debt I wanted to comfort you but I can’t do that because you might think something so I just paid all of your debts” He added, I take a deep breath to relax.. my head is not hurt anymore but down there hurt so much.

“In the past, I’ve seen your parents but you haven’t seen my parents so they don’t know you and my sister is.. she’s blind, but if he sees you at that time I'm sure she’ll hug you” I was surprised by what he said, that's why his sister didn’t look at me at that time because she couldn’t see me so she didn’t know that there was someone else inside their house.

“I regretted so much because you were hospitalized because of me and even worse I wasn’t by your side when you were in a coma, when I woke up and was about to visit you but I woke up on the plane with my parents they said we’re flying to California, they kept me away from you because they were afraid that I might be blamed for your accident” There’s a hint of sadness in his voice and he’s failed to hide that.

“Since then my anger towards them has grown, I hate them all and my life has lost its vitality, if only I could fly back to you alone I would do it but because I was still too young I didn’t do anything but complain to grandpa every day but he said that he would make me heir to the Véres company and he convinced me that when I hold the position very well I can easily find you” I felt the tightness of his wrapping around my waist and he suddenly nuzzled my neck.

“I couldn’t do anything so I agreed and I waited until I reached the right age, until it was announced that I was successful businessman and I thought that it would really make it easier for me to find you, I was wrong.. I couldn’t still find you anywhere, I also suffered for several years and blamed myself as well as my parents because of that, so I thought of leaving the house because I don’t want to see their faces anymore” I saw him clench his fist, he’s frustrated while i’m just listening.

He was silent for a few hours so I looked at him and saw that he had closed his eyes.

“Are you sleeping?” I asked while poking his nose.

“No, i’m starting to regret everything again.. ahh.. I should’ve keep searching for you, it’s kinda hard too because I don’t know your full name, we only know our second name which is we both hide” He whisper a breath heavily.

“Why did you hide yours?” I asked curiously.

“I don’t want them to call me by my name, the last person who called me that was hospitalized” He said seriously which made me wince, he’s crazy.

“How about you? I'm not in the habit of looking at the requirements of job applicants, so I don’t know your full name” Kaya pala hindi n’ya alam na Astreus ako, hindi ko rin naman alam na Alistair s’ya kung ganun parehas kaming walang pakealam sa isa’t isa dati.

“You said they are not my parents right? Then who are they?” I asked while still staring at the ceiling.

“They’re criminals, those two are married but they are child abusers and used drugs before, we also found out that they kidnapped two children from a rich family but we don’t know why they still have the two children” Napapikit na lamang ako sa mga nalaman ko, pero agad ding napadilat at tumingin sa kan’ya.

“How about me? You said they’re not my real parents then.. where are they? There must be a reason” I asked but he just stare at me and sighs.

“Your parents are dead” He answered that startled me.

“So.. all this time.. I’m just alone?” I mumbled sadly while looking down, I looked up when he caressed my cheek.

“I’m sorry if I wasn’t there, don’t worry you will never be alone from now on” He said softly and soothing before he hugged me to comfort me.

For the first time, I feel safe in someone’s arm.

But it is okay to stay with him? Will everything be fine if I stay by his side?

I’m still lost in thoughts, my mind is telling me to runaway but my heart wanted me to stay.

What should I do?
