Twisted Affection (Completed)

NINETEEN

Warning/ R-18

No matter how much I convince myself not to be affected, my feelings only grow stronger. For three years without seeing him, I thought I was just scared that he would take my children away, but no. I'm scared of my own feelings for him because even now, my heart is still the same, still beating for him. It's far from what I felt with Zaiden.

To be honest, Zaiden was a challenge for me because I was the one chasing him. I fell in love with him because of what he did for me in the past. He protected me like he was my shining armor, which is why I was so eager to know him. In the process, I became obsessed with catching his attention. I didn't know that the night with Zairon would leave me feeling confused.

May kaibahan kaya naguguluhan na ako pero dahil hindi pumasok sa aking isip na may kambal ang Professor, akala ko talaga ay mas lalo lamang dumagdag ang nararamdaman ko.

When I heard that he got a girlfriend three years ago, I took it to heart but I let it be, especially when I found out more about him. I didn't do anything because I was pushing him away.

I've realized that obsession and love are different, and I know that what I'm feeling for him now is genuine. However, I'm hurting because someone is about to take him away from me. It's all my fault. Lagi ko siyang tinataboy dahil hindi ko magawang tanggapin sa sarili kong may nararamdaman na ako sa kaniya.

Bumibigat ang dibdib ko habang naglalakad ako sa loob ng Mansiyon at kada hakbang ko ay pumapasok ang mga negative scenario sa utak ko.

Inisa isa ko ang mga kwarto ng Mansiyon at mabuti na lang ay walang tao sa loob maliban sa akin until I reach a room where my heart almost stops. Hindi na ako nagdadalawang isip pang buksan ang pinto kahit na alam kong may makikita akong hindi ko magustuhan.

I froze when I saw the woman on top of him only wearing underwear while Zairon was closing his eyes but I saw how his hand was pushing the woman to get away from him.

“I know you want this too, doctor. I'll make sure that you enjoy our night.” Malanding saad ng babae.

Huminga ako ng malalim at humakbang palapit sa kanila. Galit lamang ang nararamdaman ko ngayon at kung tama ako ng hinala, Ininom niya ang drugs na iyon. Drugs kung saan ay init ng katawan lamang ang nararamdaman niya at ayokong i take advantage lang ng babaeng ‘to si Zairon.

I know I messed up back then but I realized my mistake and when I face someone who did like what I did years ago, I feel how it truly hurts when the man you want is being pulled away by someone else.

He was about to kiss him when I found myself grabbing her hair and throwing her on the floor. Nagulat ito sa ginawa ko at tiningnan akong nanlalaki ang mata. “W-what.. who are you?!”

Ngumisi ako. “Me? I'm the girl who will put you in your place. Napagdaanan ko na ‘yang ginawa mo kaya huwag mo akong hahamunin.”

The woman scrambled to her feet. Gulat at pagkapahiya ang nakarehistro sa kaniyang mukha. "You have no right to do that!" she shouted, pointing an accusing finger at me.

I laughed and the sound was bitter. "Oh, I have every right," I retorted. "And I won't let you or anyone touch him."

She laughed with a harsh mocking sound. "And you think you can stop me? Pareho ka lang naman rin sa ibang babae, pinagsasaan lang siya!"

Tumawa ako ng peke at nginisian siya. "Hindi mo sure?"

I turned to Zairon, who was still lying on the bed, his eyes half-open. "Zairon, are you okay?" I asked.

He tried to sit up, but his movements were sluggish. "Laurene?" he mumbled, looking at me with confusion in his eyes.

"Yes, it's me," I said, reaching out to help him.
