Bound In Secrecy 🚩

Chapter 28

The refreshing feeling of cold water running down my throat lessens the throbbing I'm feeling in my head.

I'm in my family's mansion, and I took a break from my training session because I'm not feeling well. I can't understand any single words I'm reading and asked the secretary to leave me alone.

I breathe out and loosen some buttons on my button up shirt. My hand caresses my nape as I lean back on my chair with closed eyes.

Hindi koalam kung ilang minuto akong nakapikito baka nakaidlip nga ako. Nagising lang ako dahil sa parang may nakatitig sa akin. Pagmulat ng mga mata ko ay nakita ko si Quinn na nakatitig sa akin habang nakaupo sa egde ng mesa sa tabi ko.

"What—" - I didn't finish what I'm going to say because she stopped me on my shoulder from getting up.

"Don't bother. I know you're tired."

I discreetly checked my wristwatch and noticed the time.

"Kailan ka pa dumating? Naabutan mo ba sila?"

I'm referring to my parents. They were here in the mansion earlier.

"Only Chloe's here. No signs of your parents. How are you?"

I smile a little and grab her wrist to pull her. I made her sit on my lap sideways, and she caressed my hair slowly.

"I'm okay because you're here. I missed you." - halos pabulong na sabi ko at hinalikan ang isa nyang kamay.

"Yeah, I know. I'm sorry I've been busy lately," - She said and leaned down to kiss my cheek. "I love you."

My smile grew wider. She let me hug her and rest my face in her neck. Na miss ko talaga sya dahil madalang na kami magkita simula nuong maging busy na kami pareho. Hindi na din ako nakakauwi sa kanya dahil most of the time naman wala din naman sya at nasa out of town or out of the country dahil sa demand ng trabaho nya.

"You lose weight."

"I'm a model."

"I know, but your wrists are too thin." - I whispered and caressed her waist. "This one too. Ang nipis."

Tinampal nya ang braso ko. "Hiyang hiya naman ako sa'yo ha."

I chuckled and kissed her neck before I pulled back and stared at her.

"I'm coming home with you."

"As you should. I have something for you at home."

"Ano?"

"A gift."

Umalis sya sa kandungan ko at inoffer ang kamay nya para mahila na nya ako patayo. Dinampot din nya ang blazer ko at pinasuot sa akin saka hinawakan ang kamay ko para makalabas na kami.

"Uuwi na kayo? Ang aga pa. Dito na kayo mag dinner!" - sabi ni ate dahil nakasalubong namin ito.

"Sa bahay na, Chloe." - Quinn politely declined and glanced at me.

Tinaasan ako ni ate ng kilay na parang sinasabi sa akin na wag ako sumang ayon sa asawa ko.

"Ngayon nalang tayo nagkita tatanggihan mo pa ako!" - sabi ni ate nuong hindi ako umimik.

She snatched my wife away from me, leaving me no choice but to follow them in the dining area.

"See? I asked the maid to prepare food for us!" - Her voice is excited. "Sit down, Rosalie. My sister won't disappear."

Ayaw pa kasi umupo ni Quinn kung hindi pa sya itulak ni ate sa upuan ay hindi nya iyon lalapitan. Tahimik akong tumabi sa kanya at ako nadin ang nag asikaso ng pagkain nya.
