Will you choose me? (Montecarlo Heir #2)

Kabanata 30

I had to jog just to match dad's pace of walking. Agad kaming pumasok ng elevator at pinindot niya ang ground floor.

"Argh-" I panicked when I heard dad grunt in pain. Halos mataranta ako ng napapikit ito at napahawak sa dibdib.

"Daddy! Are you alright? Ano pong nararamda-"

"I'm fine! We're going home!" He turned to me with dagger yet bloodshot eyes.

Napalabi akong nawalan ng imik. I swallowed hard and stood still beside him.

"You disobeyed me. You have been lying to me. All this time." Parang punyal na tumatarak sa puso ko ang mga salitang sinabi niya.

"I-I'm s-sorry." Until unting nanlalabo ang paningin ko sa mga nagbabadyang luha.

"Just.. how dare you lie to me, Reina Ariane! I told you! You are not allowed to have a boyfriend! Are you out of your mind? You just turned eighteen for Goddamn's sake! I should sue him for taking advantage of you! That fucking pedophile!" He roared at halos maramdaman kong umuga ang sinasakyang elevator sa galit ng daddy.

"Dad no.. don't say that. He's not-" Shit! What? This is crazy!

"Oh yeah? And you dare defend that motherfucker! Watch and you'll see." He smirked ruthlessly.

That left me dumbfounded. I know I'm wrong but isn't dad just overreacting? I'm no longer a minor. What the fuck?!

Hanggang sa makababa ay dinig ko ang mabigat na paghinga ng daddy. I am worried because of his condition. I am guilty because if anything happens to him because of what he learned about Anton and I.. I don't think...

Derederetso ang lakad namin palabas kung saan naghihintay ang sasakyan sa harap ng ospital.

"Get in!" Angil ni dad ng marahas niyang binuksan ang pinto ng backseat ng sasakyan. Our bodyguards are scattered waiting for dad's orders.

Nanginginig ako sa takot na sumakay. Sumunod siyang pumasok at padarag na sinara ang pinto. Kita ko ang nagaalangan na tingin ng tauhan sa rearview mirror.

"Drive. Now!" Dad roared made the driver twitched from his seat and immediately maneuvered the steering wheel.

I felt my phone vibrated on my pocket kaya kita ko sa peripheral ko ang matalim na tingin ng lumingon sa gawi ko si dad.

Shit.

"Give me your phone." He ordered.

"P-Po-"

"Give me your phone, Reina Ariane!" Muli akong nanginig at halos mapapikit ng marinig ang malakas na sigaw ng daddy. Nanatili namang tahimik ang dalawa naming tauhan sa unahan. The rest of the bodyguards are tailing us on a separate car.

My hand is shaking as I tried to fish my phone from my pocket as quick as I could. Hindi ko pa nahahawakan ng ayos ay mabilis na hinablot ni daddy yon sa kamay ko.

"How long.." tila hirap na binigkas ni daddy.

I turned to him as his weight shifted.

"How long have you been in a relationship with that motherfucker?!"

"Dad.. please.."

"You're too young.. too young for him. He took advantage of you. I should have known."

"D-Dad.. hindi po-"

"Then what do you call that?! You kept this from me! I had one rule for your young lady, and yet! Fucking-"

"I-I'm sorry.."

"From now on you are not allowed to be in contact with that boy. In fact, you are not allowed be in contact with anyone from his family without my knowledge. Even your friends. All your gadgets will be confiscated and strictly monitored from now on."
