FATE SERIES 01: LOVING THE STORM

CHAPTER 32.3

The memory of that fateful day was still etched painfully in my mind, and the weight of loss felt overwhelming.

Losing my family had shattered my world, leaving me with a deep sense of emptiness and longing that seemed impossible to fill.

Now im witnessing the same scenario again.

Seeing someone sacrificing its own life just to save his love.

"Kuya Zav!" Sigaw ni Reign tulad ko ay nagpupumiglas din ngayon.

Unti-unting lumapit sa amin si Zyaire, his eyes are now lifeless as he glance at me

Soon as he reached us he lowered the gun, his eyes showing no remorse or emotion. It was as if he had become a ruthless stranger.

Galit akong tumingin dito, i wanted to fought back. Gusto ko itong sapakin at sampalin dahil sa pagiging dahas nito.

Bakit kailangang umabot sa ganito.

"Now you know who's in charge," he stated coldly, addressing Zavier, who was writhing on the ground in pain. Pinakawalan din nila si Reign upang alalayan nya ito.

"Don't you ever touch what's mine again."

'Mine' pa ulit-ulit ang salitang iyon sa aking isipan.

The possessive and controlling nature of his statement leaving a bitter taste in my mouth.

Pagak akong tumawa dahilan para mapunta ang atensyon nya sa akin.

"Mine huh?"

The realization hit me that all this time hindi nagbago ang tingin nito sa akin kahit kaya Zein, I was just a pawn, a possession in his eyes, a mere extension of his own power.

Malamig akong tumingin dito. "Your words makes me puke, Zyaire. Let me remind you, i am your wife not your pawn"

I wanted more than anything to escape this suffocating role.

"You are my wife," he stated coldly, his voice sending a shiver down my spine.

"And as my wife, you're mine. You will do as I say, and you will behave as expected. I don't tolerate disrespect or defiance, especially from you." Matalim akong tumingin dito.

Bakit ba ang kitid ng utak nya.

"Disrespect you say." I utter in sarcasm tone he seemed taken aback by my sudden change in attitude.

"But have you respected my boundaries and my life? All you've done is cage me and treat me as your f*cked up obsession."

My words hit a nerve, and I could see the flicker of anger and discomfort in his eyes. It was as if he was realizing the consequences of his actions for the first time.

Isa lang naman ang hinihiling ko, yon ay ang hayaan nya akong tulungan sya.

Lalo na sa sitwasyon namin ngayon.

The threat is unseen, we might all end up being in danger without noticing if we didn't cooperate.

Gusto kong ipaintindi sa kanya ang bagay na yon pero tila sarado ang utak nito.

He was about to spoke up nang biglang mapakita sa kanilang likuran ang inang imperatris ganon na din ang dating emperor.

Agad na yumukod ang mga Royal guards, ganon din ang iba tumango naman ang mag-asawa sa akin.

Pero ngumiti ng bahagya ang inang imperatris sa akin dahilan para maka ramdam ako ng ginhawa.

'i thought the would tolerate their, son.'

"Son, let her be," the late emperor stated firmly, his tone authoritative and unyielding.

"She deserves to make her own choices and live her own life." Napatingin akong muli kay Zyaire bakas ang pagkontra sa mukha nito

"But father," he began, his voice quivering slightly with hesitation and uncertainty. "She's my-"

"She's your wife, not your plaything," the late emperor interrupted, his tone firm and unapologetic. Gusto kong mag salita at sumang-ayon sa sinabi ng dating emperor.

Buti pa ito ay naiitindihan nya.

"You can't treat her like this. It's not how a husband should treat his wife." Dagdag pa nya his words are like wisdom to our ears

Zyaire is about to spoke up when the late emperor's regent suddenly injected my husband with a syringe, my breath caught in my throat, and I gasped in surprise.

T*ngina.

I watched as my husband's eyes widened for a moment before his body suddenly went limp, collapsing to the ground unconscious.

Mas lalo akong nagulat ng alalayan nila Cash at Coin ang boss nila tila ba hindi nababahala sa nangyayari.

I heard the late emperor's sighed.

"I won't let you lose your sanity and do something you'll regret in the future," he continued, his tone firm and resolute.

His words sent a shiver down my spine as I realized the gravity of the situation.

All this time i know they're aware of his condition..

Buong akala ko ay wala silang ideya sa bagay na yon.

Ngayon naiitindihan ko na ang dahilan kung bakit ganon sila magsalita noong nagwala si Zyaire sa aming kwarto.

The extent of the threat posed by my husband and his obsession. It was the emperor's way of saying enough was enough.

Maya-maya ay tumingin sa akin ang mag-asawa.

Lumapit ang inang imperatris at agad akong sinalubong ng yakap. Hindi ko mapigilang hindi makaramdam ng ginhawa at lumuha.

"Its now over iha." pinunasan nito ang luha ko.

"I know you well, hindi mo gagawin ang bagay na ito ng walang dahilan" ngumiti ito ng bahagya sa akin.

Ngumiti rin ako ng pabalik dito, dumako ang tingin ko sa dating emperor. He replied with a simple nod.

"Do what you think is must kami na ang bahala kay Zyaire, get back safely iha."

For last time i took a gaze to my husband.

I promise Zyaire babalik ako, i just need to fix this.

Babalikan kita..
