Connected Cords

Chapter Twenty-eight

"Creed.." I whisperded as I stared at my fiancé who was at the doorway, looking strikingly handsome even with a scrunched eyebrows and blazing eyes. I felt my heart slowly tightening, torturing me, making me feel how it hurts slowly because of the realization that I will break this man's heart. I will hurt this man in front of me who was supposed to be my husband. But no, we can't. How can I marry him when I'm still married to someone else? And I'm still deeply in love with that someone else.

I felt the pain in my heart intensified when he raked his golden brown eyes all over my body and how realization hit him that I was only wearing a huge gray tshirt that was obviously not mine. And I know.. I know that he knew who's the owner of this shirt.

"Tangina," He cursed as he tightly shut his eyes and massaged his temple using his right hand. He looked tormented. It breaks me.

I tried to open my mouth to speak but it quiver so I closed it again. Creed opened his eyes and that moment, I felt my heart shrinking unto my feet. His eyes were filled with unshed tears as he looked at me.

There was no word spoken until Creed hastily removed the brown leathet jacket he was wearing and put it on me tightly. Agad kumunot and noo ko dahil sa kanyang ginawa.

"Creed, what are you doing?" He didn't answer, intead he grabbed my hand and pulled me to walk him.

"Creed wait! We need to talk.." I almost plead because I knew that he was furious. His grip on my hand proved me enough.

"Creed, ano ba.. Nasasaktan ako," I grimaced when his grip tightened even more as he continued to drag me to god knows where.

"And I'm not?" His voice held so much venom, it made me cry. He was mad.. and broken. I know... I know.

I let my tears fall as I felt my heart beats so quickly I couldn't keep up with it. I looked back at the villa behind me where Greg was still sleeping soundly and slowly.. I watched it disappeared from my sight.

I'll be back, Greg..

I didn't stopped Creed as he unlocked a shiny black Mazda and opened the front seat for me. I willingly climed inside the car and sat down on the leather sit. I played with my fingers that was on my lap and started to convince my self that everything will be fine.

Be calm and think straight, Margaux.

That was my mantra during the ride. I never dared to speak once Creed was inside the car, though Lord knows how badly I want to explain to him everything..

Pero agad akong naalarma nang makalayo na kami sa resort at nasa highway na kami Creed at parang siya ang may ari ng daan dahil sa bilis niyang magpatakbo. I looked at him with wide panicking eyes and saw how white his knuckles were because of his tight grip on the steering wheel.

"Creed.. Slow down please.." I said, my voice was quivering. That was the first time I saw Creed that mad. His stare could possibly burn anything. He was glaring at the road as the speed of the car increased.

"Creed, calm down.." I said soothingly. I didn't want to raise my voice, it will be no good.

"Tell me..." He hissed, namumula ang kanyang leeg na tila ba pinipigilan niya ang kanyang galit.

"Tell me how to calm the fuck down Margaux!" And his emotion exploded. He was damn furious it made my heartbeat quicken.

"Creed please.." I tried to caress his arm but he flinched like my hand could burn him.

"Don't fucking touch me! God, Margaux! Just don't because I can't fucking think straight right now, I don't know what I can do to you." He was fuming mad kaya napaiyak ako. I was hurting for him. And I was hating myself for what I was about to do.
