THE LAW OF LOVING YOU °[KathNiel] ✓COMPLETE

The last thing I have in mind is telling Five about what is going on. I would not want him to worry or be dragged into this and in the end, be dad's subject of his madness. If there is one other unsaid thing as to why I did not choose Five is because I always give dad a chance. Ayoko siyang makulong. But this... No, this is too much. Ako mismo ang magpapakulong sa kanya kapag may nangyaring masama sa anak ko.

"Dad, where are you?" I literally panic and cry both at once when he answers my call. "Let me talk to my daughter dad."

"No mija." I can imagine him now wearing his arrogant look, making me clutch my fist in anger and frustration. "You come back with us to States and nothing irrelevant will happen."

"Oo dad. Sasama ako." Walang pagdadalawang-isip na tugon ko. "Please, let me just talk to Khalee—-"

Ni hindi ko natapos ang sasabihin ko dahil binaba na niya ang phone. And the only thing I have in the moment is cry for all the frightful possibilities I have in mind.

Khaleesi better be okay daddy because I swear, if something happens to my princess, I will forget that you are my father.

As soon as Alec sent me the address as  to where to meet them, I waste no second and leave the mansion as fast as I can. On the way, I find out that the address is a private hangar, most definitely, some property that daddy illegally or secretly owns.

"You came babe." Salubong ni Alec sa'kin, nakangisi na lalo lang nagpagigil sa'kin. However, I control myself as I need to. Gusto ko siyang saktan pero nagtimpi ako dahil gusto kong makita muna ang anak ko. Paakyat na sana ako ng plane kasama si Alec nang hindi ko inaasahang marinig ang boses ni dad. Mabilis na umikot ako para harapin siya.

"I now see why my daughter has become more stubborn." He says, smirking while having Five in front of him guarded by two goons unknown to me. They seem to be just from here and not dad's men from his gang in New Jersey. Nakatutok kay Five ang baril na hawak ni dad and it makes me gape in terror.

"Daddy, sasama ako sa inyo. Sasama ako sa inyo just let him go!" Umiiyak na sigaw ko. "Dad, please."

"Arrogant people like him mija is the reason why I lost your mom." I can hear the bitterness and the pain in his voice. He just becomes so vulnerable when it comes to mom. I get it so clearly that his heart is just gnawed by hatred and revenge after he lost my mom because of my grandparents' disapproval of him. "They don't deserve to breathe the same air as ours."

"Daddy no." I cry out and try to run to Five but my vicious father just points his gun closer at Five while Alec grabs my wrist to stop me from drawing near. "Dad, don't do it."

"I can't see no reason to do that Serena. You have disobeyed me for so many times for this bastard—"

"Disobeyed? Dad, I did everything you want me to do!" Sumbat ko dahil sa hindi ko mapigilang sakit. Mismong ama ko kaya akong magdusa ng ganito. "Ilang taon ba kailangan kong pagdusahan lahat dad? Buong buhay ba? If I only had the power to be heard back in that day daddy, I would have chosen mom over my life just like what you wanted. Tulad mo dad, hindi ko ginustong mawala si mommy."

"You know what to do with him." Dad tells his men, ignoring me and my sentiment.

"You let him go, dad!" I order demandingly but dad doesn't falter at that. He never gets fazed by anyone. "I will not let my daughter go through the same life that you gave me! I can't make her live this kind of life. I despise you, dad. I hate you."

Hearing that, he walks closer to me and presses my cheeks angrily with his hand. I can feel the odd pain on my face but that doesn't matter so much to me. My heart is bleeding. It's in more pain. At the same time, it bleeds in confusion too as I see the tears lining around daddy's round eyes.
