Montergo Series I: Dancing With Fire

Chapter 37

Chapter 37

.

I was staring blankly at the scenery within Montergo's territory. My hands at my belly while contemplating and reminiscing the memories Zak and I shared.

"Love." A deep voice behind me made my heart skip a beat. Just hearing his voice calms me yet bothers me at the same time. Remembering what Xaz told me earlier made me question his sincerity.

Xaz had a point, I do look like her ex-fiance so damn much. I don't even know how they aren't together by now. I bit my inner cheeks and played with my fingers.

"Love, are you okay? Is something bothering you?" His husky and loving voice made me wanna push him away from hugging me.

Ayokong paniwalaan sinabi ni Xaz pero sa mga litratong ipinakita niya, and the way she explained pakiramdam kong totoo talaga lahat.

"Love—" I cut Zak off by shoving his hands off mine and walking towards the bedside table.

"I wanna leave now." I ordered, emphasizing the word now. Hindi ako nakatingin sa kanya, kaya hindi ko alam kung anong reaksiyon ang meron siya ngayon. I took my bag and the fur and the clothes I wore last night, I had already changed into some new clothes that the maid handed me.

Nauna akong lumabas, I didn't even wait for his response. I slowly, even though I want to walk faster, it's dangerous for me and the baby. I arrived at the ground floor and saw all the montergo's were present kahit na si Xaz ay naroon— of course except for Xoana.

I saw how Xaz's feisty eyes landed on mine. She secretly raised her eyebrow at me and rolled her eyes.

"You're leaving now?" Zak's grandmother pouted, nabaling dito ang atensyon ko. I fight the urge to laugh sarcastically, kahit na gusto kong idaan sa tawa ang pakikitungo niya ay 'di ko ginawa.

They didn't give an ounce of respect and attention to me, their guest, and their grandson's girlfriend. Para akong multo na hinayaang magpasikot-sikot sa mansion nila.

I gave her a sweet smile like I usually do to all fake bitches. "Yes, Lola."

She didn't tell me what to address her so might as well improvise.

"Sadly, I have some major schedules for tomorrow but it's truly such a shame that I have to leave already. I haven't even spend enough time with you today because of our conflicting schedule." I sadly stated, my eyebrows and mouth drooped down and I am even wiping the fake tears on my eyes.

They remained silent and looked away, avoiding my eyes. I, too, remained silent. They know it first hand that Zak will bring me, pero hinayaan nila ang portait sa hallway. When Zak finally arrived on the ground floor, I immediately bid my farewell to them and walked before Zak could even reach me.

Sumakay ako sa kotse niyang nakapark sa labas ng mansion, and the butler opened the car's door for me on the passenger seat. Kahit na balak ko sana sa back seat na lang but they might think about something at sabihin pa sa elders.

Padabog akong umupo, Zak then came in and sat on the Driver's seat.

"Xochi—" Hindi ko siya pinagpatuloy.

My name now ahh? Nice, so damn nice.

"Drive, I don't want to stay here any longer. So please, just drive." I begged him but my eyes were focused straight on the front and with a stern look.

Sa ilang minuto namin sa byahe tahimik lang siya, lalo na ako. However, whenever I feel that he wanted to talk to me I close my eyes and pretended to sleep hanggang sa makatulog na ako.
