Taking The Spotlight (Uncompleted)

Chapter 37

My heart was beating insanely fast when the message I sent was finally seen. I waited, but there was no reply.

; Hey, I'm sorry.

I bit my lips as it once again.

Seen...

Pero walang reply.

; Gage? You there? Please talk to me.

Seen...

; I know i left without saying anything.

Seen...

; it was an emergency...so i had to go back.

Seen...

; Don't reply, and I won't go back in there again.

I warned him, thinking it was a joke, but I was stunned when he replied!

Seen...
...
...
...

Gaión; Then I'll go.

Napa kurap ako sa reply nito. Nabigo ako sa pagreply, at magtitipa na sana sa nag-reply, ngunit naunahan niya ako.

...
...
Gaión; i was so damn mad!

Kahit mayroong exclamation point ay rinig ko ang kanyang malambing na boses. Ganyan siya kapag galit.

...
...
...
Gaión; Umuwi kana, i mean it.

Sunod sunod ang reply niya habang naka tingin lamang ako.

...
...
Gaión; Eres muy egoísta, amor. (You are so selfish, love.)
Gaión; Come back to me, I will forgive you.

Napaisip ako bigla ng kalokohan.

; We made a deal from the start, didn't we? And right now whoever confesses first and falls in love loses $500 million.

Biro ko. Gusto kong matawa ng nag reply siya. I was utterly stunned by what just happened...hindi siya nag reply kaya hinintay ko, baka na turn off siya sa sinabi ko and he took it personally.

I should apologize and admit it was just a joke.

Pero...biglang nag pop ang notification ng laptop ko and...

Alert: $500M transferred from your credit card. Transaction ID: [TRANS1A2B3C4D5E6]."

I froze, struggling to process what just happened. I was left speechless staring at the screen.

Gaión; I've lost, now please? Baby, i missed you. I can fucking send all of my credit cards if you asked me to.

My mind went blank as I dropped onto the bed, staring at the ceiling. 'Didn't he know the word "joke"?' I thought.

Gale and Gage take everything seriously; they never joke around.

What the freaking hell...talagang mapapamura ako. 

Hindi ako maka tulog. Panay ang tunog ng laptop, Gage was calling for a facetime. Maya maya ay hindi na ito tumunog kaya hinayaan ko.

Ang daling e bankrupt ni, Gage!i can't believe it. Barya lang sakanya yung senend niya he even said he can send all of his credit card like what the freaking hell! Seriously? Hindi kopa nakita ang laman It's as if he's rich enough to buy every island on earth if he wanted to.

Panay ang pisil ko sa stuff toy na binigay ni, Rylan kaninang umaga. Dahil hindi ako makatulog.

What if magka anak kami? I think we'll raise a spoiled son or daughter.

They already have numerous mansions in Russia – massive structures that can hardly be called houses! I've seen Gage's impressive car collection; he seemingly owns every type of vehicle, given his passion for cars.

They even own yachts – essentially floating mansions! I can hardly believe her mother took me aboard one. Meron pang helipad...those crazy experiences I've seen enough kaya hindi na sana ako magugulat kung mag sesend siya ng ganoong halaga.

Barya para sa kanya pero sa akin hindi! Kaya e susuli ko ito!
