Taking The Spotlight(Revenge)

Chapter 11

Naka upo lang ako sa tabi, pinapanood sila. Tinatawag kapag may kailangan.

I observed the joy on set, watching them laugh together. Gale, However, only cracked a smile once-when aliana was by his side. Pano niya napa saya ang isang may yelong puso?

Gale once assured me they were just friends, but I couldn't shake the feeling that there was something more between them. He seemed determined to downplay it.

I glared, my eyes fixed on Aliana as she laughed and wrapped her arms around Gale. 'Sorry! Sorry! Again!' she exclaimed, her words dripping with amusement. Gale's smile lit up, his gaze locked on hers, but it vanished as soon as he met my gaze. I averted my eyes, focusing on the crowd gathering to take photos of the pair.

"Ms, aliana! Ms, aliana!!" Kaway ng mga fans.

Aliana shifted to them smiling as she waved her hands at them.

"GALIANA! GALIANA! GALIANA!"

"KISS! KISS! KISS! KISS!"

Sigaw ng mga ito.

"Aliana's face flushed as she turned to Gale, who couldn't help but chuckle. She stood on tiptoes and pressed a tender kiss to his lips. The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, begging for more."

I stood up, sensing Gale's gaze on me. As i turned to walk away, his eyes followed.

I placed Gale's lunch at nagbalik upang kunin ang tubig na binili ko. Ngunit nahinto ako sa paglakad nang mag-alok si Aliana ng tubig sa kanya.

Gale's eyes meet aliana's as he took the water, a silent thank you passing between them. He unscrewed the cap and drank.

I gripped the water bottle tightly, using it as a distraction from the sting of watching Gale and Aliana's exchange. I turned away, taking a long swig, the cool liquid soothing my frustration.

Lumipas ang oras nang mabilis habang pinagtiis ko ang tensyon ni Gale at Aliana. Ngayon, bandang 4 hanggang 5, nakatuon ako sa aking phone, umaasa na tatawagan o tetext niya ako upang makatakas ako dito.

The day dragged on, filled with boredom, after Erony's scene wrapped up. She abruptly excused herself, citing an emergency call.

Natapos na ang pagsshooting, at handa nang umuwi ang lahat. Habang nakatayo ako sa harap ng entrance, nag-aayos ng bandage sa kamay ko, may nakita akong isang Ferrari sports car. Napatingin ang mga tao dahil sa malakas na tunog nito, at huminto ito sa harap ko.

Agaw pansin ito sa lahat.

As the Ferrari's door lifted, Gage stepped out, his gaze locking onto mine like a magnet. Time froze. My heart thundered, pulsating through every cell. I felt the rush of blood, the whoosh of air, and the piercing stare that held me captive.

The commotion around us faded into the background as Gage walked toward me. I felt a collective gaze upon us, with Gale, Aliana, and the rest of the crew exchanging disbelieving glances.

Gage's husky voice wrapped around me like a warm embrace. "Did I keep you waiting?" he asked, his eyes burning with intensity. I felt my heart flutter, trapped in his mesmerizing stare.

"My voice caught in my throat, and all I could manage was a silent gulp. Gage's eyes never left mine as he slowly tilted his head, acknowledging the curious stares of the crew behind us."

My voice caught in my throat, and all I could manage was a silent gulp. Gage's eyes never left mine as he slowly tilted his head, acknowledging the curious stares of the crew behind us.

"'Good to see you, brother," Gage said, his gaze drifting to Aliana's arm wrapped around Gale's, a flicker of surprise crossing his face. Then, his eyes locked onto mine, intense and inquiring.

Aliana's eyes sparkled with curiosity as she echoed, "Brother?" Her gaze locked onto Gage, searching for clarification. I shot her a sharp warning glance, my eyes narrowing.

Gage's gaze locked onto mine, intense and unyielding. Without breaking eye contact, he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me close. I stiffened, caught off guard by the sudden embrace.

His lips curled into a sly smile as he whispered in my ear, "Want to get out of here?" The warmth of his breath sent tingles down my neck, and my heart skipped a beat.

"Gage's eyes flicked to Aliana, his gaze cold and possessive. 'Looks like your occupied'" he said, his voice low.

"She'll be mine for now. Besides, you already have yours" A wicked grin spread across his face as he glanced at Gale. 'You've got your own, brother.'" With that, he offered me his arm and escorted me to the car, the door swinging open with a gallant flourish.

Gage slid his hands into his pockets and walked calmly around the car, turning to settle into the driver's seat.

Buti na lang umalis na si Direktor. Kung nakita niya si Gage, talagang matatagalan kami dahil sa kadaldalan ni Direktor at baka kukunin pa siya bilang pangdagdag sa pelikula.

Gage's deep, low chuckle resonated through the car, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. "Get used to him yet?" he asked, his voice cold but soothing, referring to Gale.

"Yes" mahinang sagot ko.

Gage's eyes flicked to mine, his gaze intense.

"Did you ever truly have feelings for him? Or love him?" His voice was low, probing.

"I tried" bulong ko.

A ghost smile appeared on his lips as he focused driving while he nods at me.

My gaze wandered around the luxurious interior of Gage's Ferrari, a stark contrast to the Bugatti he drove when we first met. I couldn't help but wonder: how wealthy was this man? Gale, for instance, only owned a single sports car and a sedan.

As my fingers brushed against the stylized star above the neon lights, Gage's gaze darted to my hand. He slowed the car, his expression confused. "What happened?' he asked, eyes fixed on the bandage covering my palm.

I gently rubbed my hand and forced a weak smile. "Just a minor burn from spilled coffee earlier." I chuckled softly, but Gage's expression remained dead serious.

I exchanged a confused glance with Gage as he steered the Ferrari into the hospital's parking lot.
"Why are we here?" I asked, my brow furrowing in concern.

"That needs to be checked"Gage said firmly, unbuckling his seatbelt and stepping out of the car. He walked around to my side and opened the door, his eyes locked on my bandaged hand.

Nasanay na ako na hindi magreklamo, kaya sumunod ako sa kanya.

Gage led me to a skin dermatologist's office, his grip on my hand gentle but firm. The doctor, a kind-faced woman with a warm smile, greeted us and began examining my burned hand.

Gage's stare remained fixed on my hand, his eyes burning with a quiet intensity. His fingers drummed a staccato beat on the armrest, betraying his outward calm. Dr. Lee's words seemed to fade into the background as I sensed Gage's unspoken worry.

"What can we do to treat it, Doctor?" Gage asked, his voice firm but laced with concern. I shot him a reassuring glance. "Wait, it's not even severe, right?" I asked, seeking confirmation.

Dr. Lee's gaze darted between us, a hint of amusement on her face. "Actually, yes, it's minor. Topical creams and some basic wound care should suffice"

Gage gave a brief, decisive nod, his eyes never leaving Dr. Lee's face, as if to confirm his understanding and acceptance of the treatment plan.

Ang tingin ni Gage ay nakatuon pa rin sa aking kamay habang tinutugunan ito ng doktor.

As we walked through the hospital hallway, I couldn't help but silently admire Gage's devotion. 'Why is he so kind to me?' I wondered, my thoughts filled with gratitude.

Baka naawa lang siya saakin?
