I can feel his eyes on me, silently watching me. He approves of what I am wearing. A deep red halter neck dress that clings to my body showing off my curves.

 The band takes up a slow song as We move into the centre of the grand hall. Brandon places his arms around me and we begin dancing in that low tune.

I rest my head on his shoulder aware of the eyes watching us. Soon there are people dancing around us but I feel as if it is just us—alone.

 Something was different with Brandon though I just can’t pinpoint what, The way he held me in his arms tonight is quite unusual. It was a little harsh, cold and possessive but his eyes were distant

“Something bothering you, Love?” He whispered to my ear as the song switches into a more sensual and slower tune this time

“No—Nothing” I said dryly as I move my face away from him when He attempted to kiss my lips. I looked away from his eyes, trying to distract my self before I spill the subject that I knew better than to talk with him right now

Kumawala ako sa kaniya and tried walking away, but before I could fully walk my self back to our table, his metallic grip was on my arm which spun me around back to his embrace

 “Where do you think you're going?” His grip was tighter this time as his nails dug to my skin, as if attempting to break a bone or two

I whimpered a cry upon feeling such extreme pain, “Brandon .. nasasaktan ako”

I heard his love bitter laugh next to my ear
“Nasasaktan ka na? Good. That’s exactly how I wanted you to feel”

 I looked in to his eyes, they were hard, commanding and threatening and as seconds tick by his grip was now suffocating my veins

“Brandon..” I pleaded

“You think I never knew did you?” His voice was not as loud.. Not as loud as I wish it would be so people could hear how vulnerable I was. Normally, from a far, if you see us in this state you’ll think that we’re snuggling each other ---but NO. I feel like im at the end of the cliff about to jump or about to die in the arms of this monster

“Every night you go out to secretly meet him behind my back. In the middle of the night you wake up to answer his call .. What else is there to know, my wife? You thought I was that stupid huh?”

“What are you saying?”

“You thought I never knew that you had sex with Andrew on our own bed just so you could quenche your thirst for lust, which my love, I could’ve given you if only you asked me to.. but no, I knew it was always him .. Always him, my love”

He let go of my arm this time and let out a low bitter laughter
“What did you do to him?” I asked clenching my fist on my side

He didn’t say anything .. He just swirled me around in another dance move and smiled
“Anong ginawa mo sa kanya, Brandon!?” I demanded as I push his chest away from mine
