Agercia Series 1: Her Finest Betrayal

C h a p t e r 28

ZANDRO was restless while driving to the Villa because of Ara's silence.

He couldn't stand it anymore so he said "I'm sorry, I won't do it again... I don't know how to tame a woman, and like Nanny Rose said, I don't believe in marriage, but it looks like I'm about to believe now-"

Ara sighed and looked at Zandro. "There is no happy ending like fairy tales. We will also die when the time comes."

"Ang nega mo-" ani Zandro pagkatapos ay sumimangot "Malay mo naman we will be the proof that forever exist in this world."

"Are we going to end up together in the end!?. If so, then that's a nightmare." Ara said in retaliation to Zandro, "If for the rest of my life I can be with someone like you?, I could rather die now", she added.

Zandro stopped the car and glared at Ara. "Your words are so harsh. Remember every word that you said!- you will eat your words when the time comes and kneel before me to marry you" he said.

Ara laughed and slapped Zandro's thigh. "Let me rephrase it for you!- you will kneel before me and beg to marry you. That's the right sentence, I'm not bowing to anyone-"

"You have already done that, the first time we met. Don't you remember?" Zandro said and raised an eyebrow at Ara.

"I did?" sarkasmong sambit ni Ara "Hindi ko natatandaan."

"Yes you did, and you even call me Lord Miller!" Zandro said and smiled to annoy Ara. "So I thought you knew I was a count-."

"I thought you were a Spanish rascal, but I was wrong because you are a crazy Spaniard" Ara smiled mischievously to annoy the first Archon.

"Talagang nakakarami ka na ah!." Zandro exclaimed, then suddenly frowned like a child.

"Anyways, regarding my question earlier, is that true?" Ara suddenly asked, remembering what they had talked about earlier. She wasn't convinced.

Zandro sighed then started the car again. "I admit, only half of what I said was true. I had too much pressure from being the only son of the Millers. The thought that I would inherit everything scares me a lot. I just want a normal life, but I can't escape as long as the Miller is attached to my name. I was always running away from the castle and rebelling, so my parents made a deal with me. They will let me come home here to the Philippines and do whatever I want, but when the right time comes, I have to go back and accept what is destined for me. So I did what I wanted until I became a congressman to help the poor, but later I had to go back to Spain because my mom was missing. I already told you about my parents- Upon my return, I was transferred to be the first Archon. But I left our home to relinquish my obligation. Being an Archon is too much, I can't afford to be a Count- Idagdag mo pa ang pagiging Congressman" Zandro sighed again and smiled sadly "I love helping my constituents, but I can no longer afford to be a Congressman at the same time because being an Archon is so hard than they think it is. I could die, at any time. And I can't do anything because I can't let go of my position. After all, no one else will inherit but me."

Ara just kept quiet because of Zandro's words "I'm sorry for being naughty."

"It's fine. You need to know about me because I will be your husband soon," Zandro said, and they started arguing again.

When they arrived at Villa, Ara was amazed at its beauty. The concrete of the cabins for the private residence is very modern and at the end, a tall mansion can be seen. "Woaw, it's nice, even if I live here until I die I will want to." Ara praises the villa.

Zandro tsked "Tsk, I hate every time death is mentioned."

"We will all die" Ara replied, then they went down as they were in front of the Mansion. Ara took a deep breath before stepping into the Mansion. This is what she has been waiting for, to meet the remaining Archons.
