She Was The Punisher (UNDER EDITING)

Chapter 15

[FLASHBACK]

*** Marcus' POV***

Ika nga nila, may tenga ang lupa, may pakpak ang balita.

Jaime immediately had me called to his office after finding out about his daughter and I.

It has only been almost a month pero may mga humahadlang na kaagad.

Galit na galit si Jaime sakin.

"PUTANGINA MO SHANE! MATAGAL MO NANG ALAM NA SA ELIZONDO NA SI ALIYAH!!!! ALAM MO YAN!" Halos mapatid ang ugat niya sa ulo sa sobrang galit.

Iyon agad ang bungad niya sakin pagkapasok na pagkapasok ko sa opisina niya.

"You always hated your parents for arranging your marriage with Aliyah's mom. But look at you now! About to do the same thing to your daughter." I clenched my jaw at his being unfair to Ali.

"IBANG KASO ANG ANAK KO! BABAE SYA! SHE CANNOT STAND ON HER OWN! AT PANO SYA PAG NAMATAY KA!?"

"For goodness' sake! I treated you as a darn good friend and now my death is the issue here!!? Are you looking forward to it!!!?"

"TANGINA MO MARCUS! I DON'T NEED TO TIE MY DAUGHTER TO YOU! SHE DOESN'T DESERVE YOU! NARINIG MO!?"

"Pinangungunahan mo lang ang sitwasyon! Stop panicking Jaime baka mauna ka pa sakin." I snided as I fix my tie with a smirk. Lalong nag igting ang bagang niya sa galit dahil sa sinabi ko.

"NONSENSE! MY DAUGHTER DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO MANAGE THIS BUSINESS! AT KAHIT IKASAL KAYO, PAG NAWALA KA NA, SAAN PUPULUTIN ANG ANAK KO!? MAS MAALAGAAN SIYA NG MGA ELIZONDO!"

"That's all you are thinking!? Anak mo ba o yaman mo ang problema mo!!!? Pano si Aliyah!? You want her to be stuck with a man she doesn't love!? Para san? Sa pera!?"

"SHE WILL FUCKIG LEARN TO LOVE HIM!"

"Oh yeah! Says the man who never learned to love his wife!"

"SIN VERGUENZA!!! HINDI AKO PAPAYAG NA MAPUNTA SAYO ANG ANAK KO! LUBAYAN MO SYA!"

"Mahal ko si Aliyah!" I stood there firmly. "At hindi ikaw ang magsasabi sakin kung kailangan ko nang umalis sa buhay niya. Hindi ikaw Jaime; kundi siya."

"NGAYON PA LANG UMALIS KA NA!!! MAY BRAIN TUMOR KA! PUTANG INA MAMAMATAY KA NA!" He threw a glass towards my direction and it hit the wall.

I hear it shatter but my composure was not even shaken.

Pareho kaming saglit na nabalot ng katahimikan.

We both tried to catch our breaths habang naglalaban ng mga galit na tingin.

"I love your daughter so much and this tumor inside my head can't even change that. It never will." I declared with all convictions.

I ended up being dragged away by Jaime's security group.

I am not going to die yet.

Matagal nang alyansa ng mga Santillan ang mga Salavatorre.

I see his point. It would be useless to tie her to me since our families had always been allied unlike if Aliyah gets married to an Elizondo, their business and family will get a new ally and will later expand.

At higit sa lahat... the Elizondo guy whoever he is...is not sick.

...Unlike me.

I shut my eyes and massaged my throbbing temple.

I have brain tumor.

And just recently I went to state to have me tested.

I don't know how to tell this to Aliyah.
