Love is a Trap

Chapter 2

The Sapphire Restaurant located in the tower of B.Hugh was reserved exclusively for our family dinner. I don't question the amount of luxury that they can throw for that wedding; it is the intention behind that I disagree. For tonight, I will play a good girl role for the sake Hedrin who did not even remember to tell me he's coming home.

From the rear mirror, I saw a black Porsche parked behind. My breathing went wild as my heart recognized the same affection from 2 years ago for the owner of that car. He was the nicest guy I met. Even if we don't end up together, I know he will remain to be my home.

He went out from the back seat, and I took that opportunity to go out from my car as well. I flashed a smile as his gaze directed to my way. His deep breath signaled his disagreement to this complicated situation. I understand him. He was busy studying in US, and this event does not help.

His lips claimed mine, and I answered with no hesitation. Guilt covered me when I don't feel a single excitement with the way he claimed my lips and the way he held me in the waist. This used to feel the world to me.

"Did you miss me?" He sounds just like his brother, but Hedrin is more tamed. His calmness is really attractive.

"Of course, Hedrin. You didn't tell me you're coming home." My arms hovered around his neck while my eyes scanned the changes in his face. His features are becoming like those of Alfonso's; defined jaw and dark eyes. I gave a peck to the tip of his nose when he did not answer.

I was stunned when he held the back of my head and gave a long passionate kiss. His tongue touching mine suddenly felt uncomfortable for undefined reason. I pushed him away, but he stood firmly and his hands resided to where it used to be. When I felt his lips on my ear, I could not do anything but bite my lower lip. He was catching his breathe while whispering the words of his desire.

"I will take you home after dinner, and we'll talk about us, Yllana." His jaw moved as he starts walking toward the restaurant still tightly holding me in the waist leaving no space between us.

Trying to remain composed when their gaze scrutinized me and Hedrin's position was hard especially when Alfonso's eyes scanned me from head to toe. I love grand entrance. No need to fake a smile because a bitter one automatically appeared when I look at mom and Gabriel.

"Good evening, hija." Gabriel kissed my cheeks to greet me. Alfonso did not even bother looking at his own brother who greeted mom awkwardly. I sat beside Hedrin, and that added to the already cold ambiance of that dinner.

"Thank you for coming, Yllana. You made me so happy tonight." She was able to say that not knowing how uncomfortable I feel to be sitting here.

When the food is served, Hedrin offered to cut the steak for me. Although Alfonso was just sitting back and eating in serenity, I could feel his loathe from where I am. He does not need to speak because I can read the harsh words he wants to blurt.

"This wedding is so... sudden." Hedrin tried to be cautious. That made me roll my eyes.

"Actually, we don't have much time..." The old man stopped when mom slightly pat his arm.

"It's true that we don't have much time to waste being just casual business partners." His sincere eyes towards my mother appeared so distasteful to me.

"What are your plans after the wedding? Where do you want to have your honeymoon?" I can't believe Alfonso is giving his full support to them. That's more unpleasant than the romance these old people are trying to fake.

But the thought that Alfonso might be thinking how good of a chance this is to take over our company in the future is making me more anxious. It's impossible that he would accept my mom so easily in their family if he has no plans for the fruit of this wedding.
