Destined to Love the Billionaire

Chapter 52

CHRIS' POV

"Ilia?" The bottle of champagne is empty.

She languidly raised her head sabay suka sakin.

"Oh god." She puked all over the floor. Mabuti at naka ilag ako. Inalalayan ko siya as she is about to throw up another batch.

"Tara sa banyo." I said. Hindi na kami umabot sa toilet. Sumuka na siya ng sumuka sa sahig.

When she finished throwing up, I gave her a glass of water and astringent para ipangmumog iyon.

She chuckled bitterly and looked at her own reflection in the mirror.

"You wasted bitch." Duro niya sa sarili niyang repleksyon. I took her hand and kissed her head.

"Hush...We will fix this..." Bulong ko.

Her tears started to flow again. Wala nang katapusan ang mga luha niya.

"She hates me. You hate me. Everybody hates me. GALIT AKO PATI SA SARILI KO.

"URGH ANG TANGA TANGA KO!!!" Nagulat ako nang bigla niyang paghahampasin ang sarili niya. "TANGA!!TANGA!!!"

"ILIA!!!" I caught her wrists and hugged her from behind.

"AAHHHH!!!" She cried in frustration. Nagpumilit siyang kumawala sa pagkakayakap ko. Hindi ko na napigilan ang mga luha ko. I dug my face at the shallow of her neck.

Mas lumakas ang pagiyak niya.

"Pagod na ko Chris...Pagod na pa pagod na ko..."

"Let me take over." I wiped our tears and kissed her.

I carried her to her bed and calmed her down. I put wet towel on her forehead as I sit beside her.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorryyyy.." Paulit ulit niyang sinasabi iyon. "I'm sorry I'm tired..."

Pinahid ko muli ang mga luha niya.

"Chris..." She took my arms. "Come back...Please..." Iyak niya. "Love me again... I am not deserving but please... I'll do my best this time... Love me again. I need you..." Lalong humigpit ang pagkakakapit niya. She freed my arms so she can cup my cheeks. Inangat niya ang sarili niya at hinalikan ako.

"Hmm.. Ilia..." I cut our kiss.

"Hush... I don't have to love you again." Sagot ko. Mabilis nawala ang pag asa sa mga mata niya. "I never stopped loving you. Mahal na mahal kita. I need you so much Ilia.... I need you like you're my air." Yumuko ako para halikan siya.

She welcomed my tongue as her hand snake on my nape and back, pulling me nearer and nearer to her.

"Hindi na ko aalis.. Please stay too." She said between our kiss.

"We'll talk tomorrow." I cut.

I smiled gently and kissed her forehead as she start dozing to sleep.

Tumawag si Andy, nandito na sila sa helepad ng hotel kaya iniwan ko si Ilia at Eisen sa kwarto.

Umakyat ako sa Helepad para tagpuin siya. There are hotel staff assisting me.

"Andy." Tawag ko sakanya. Kasama niya ang isang medical staff ni Khen at isang Physician.

"Anong nangyari?"

"Nagtalo si Ilia at Mama niya dahil sakin."

"Oh god." Buntong hininga niya. "Teka. Ininom mo yung complimentary drink?"

"What? How did you know about that?" Kumunot ang noo ko. Napakamot naman siya ng batok.

"Hindi... Ano... Nabanggit nung staff kanina sakin. Hihingin ko sana."

"Ahh. Bakit mo hihingin? Ininom na ni Ilia."

"Ano!? Bakit siya!?"

"Inubos niyahabang naliligo ako."

"Ubos??? Pano yon makaka alala bukas nasobrahan naman.." Bulong niya.

"Akala ko ikaw uminom. Pampalakas kasi ng loob yon saka para maalala mo kung bakit mo mahal si Ma'am Ilia.. tas ayun tumawag ka bigla na babalik ka sa casa para kausapin Mama niya kaya akala ko tuloy....I mean... Wala pag alak nakaka lakas talaga ng loob."

"Ano? Hay tara na nga." Binali wala ko ang mga sinabi niya.

"Tara!!! Hingin mo na ang kamy ni Ma'am Ilia, Boss!!!"

We knocked at the door. Bumukas iyon at medyo mas kalmadong bersyon na Mama ni Ilia ang lumantad sakin.

Ganon pa man galit pa rin ang ekspresyon niya.

"ANG KAPAL NAMAN NG MUKHA MONG BUMALIK PA." Madiin at pilit na kalmado ang boses niya.

"I'm here to talk about your daughter."

"WALA NA KONG ANAK. SIYA NA ANG NAGSABI"

"PLEASE! WHEN PEOPLE ARE ANGRY THEY SAY THINGS THEY DO NOT MEAN." I plead. "Mrs. Montero, sa akin ka nalang magalit."

"SINIRA MO ANG BUHAY NG ANAK KO UMALIS KA SA HARAPAN KO!!!"

She was about to shut the door but I stopped it with full force. "I WANT TO MARRY HER." Habol ko.

Hindi sya makapaniwalang tumingin sakin. My expression is pleading. "I WOULD LOVE AND DIE TO MARRY ILIA." She tried to shut the door again pero hinabol ko ulit iyon ng awat. "I LEFT MY EX-WIFE NOT BECAUSE ILIA STOLE ME AWAY FROM HER.

I MARRIED DION FOR MONEY!

MY PARENTS ARRANGED MY MARRIAGE WITH HER. HINDI KO SIYA MAHAL. SI ILIA ANG MAHAL KO... MAHAL... NA MAHAL... Please let me talk to you so I can clear our side..."

Dahan dahan niyang binuksan ang pinto.

"Please... I love your daughter and I can't bear to see her cry anymore. Ina siya ng anak ko... At gusto ko siyang pakasalan... Let me explain our situation."

Nakita ko ang nagbabadyang luha sa mga mata niya.

"I proposed to your daughter 4 years ago. The night after the oath taking doon namin dapat sasabihin sayo at ipapaliwanag. But Dion couldn't take the fact she didn't get the solid half of my wealth...kaya siya nag eskandalo.

Paglabas ko ng ospital... it was too late to explain to everyone after what she did.

Galit ka na at hindi ko na mahagilap si Ilia...

It was my fault. Hindi ko hinanap si Ilia dahil sakripisyo ko lang ang mga nakita ko. All I thought of is she left me because things got rough.

I got misled by my anger...but Ilia was so pure hearted. Ikaw ang pinili niya.. And I accept it... It was the right thing to do..

But please... Please nagmamahalan kami ni Ilia...

I wouldn't be here right now if I don't... "

Her tears started to fall so are mine.

"I don't want her to raise our son on her own...

Hindi ko kaya...

Hindi ko kayang ibigay sa kaniya yung responsibilidad na dapat katuwang niya ko.

I can't bear to see my son always have to wave goodnye at me dahil magka iba kami ng buhay ng Mommy niya..." Tuloy tuloy ang bagsak ng mga luha ko. The thought of her doing everything alone and being strong all those years na galit ako sakaniya, pains me so much.

How stupid have I been na magpauna sa galit ko...

"Please let us be a family..." I knelt down. "I'm so sorry... I didn't want this to turn out like how it is now. But I love her and I will fix what I can...

I love your daughter so much."
