Bound by Crown (Boundless #1)

Chapter 14

Vladimir tapped on my window side but I just shook my head at him though I know he can't see me due to the dark tint of his SUV. Hindi nalang ako gumalaw and just crossed my arm over my chest.

He already retrieved my suitcase at the back of his SUV and he placed it near the door to the entrance of our house but I am still here inside and I locked myself in. I'm like a five years old throwing a fit but I don't care.

I saw his plump lips moved up but I didn't hear what he said and then he sighed, defeated. Some of our security mixed with Dad's and mine are also lingering nearby, maybe watching what we are doing and I hope they enjoy the show.

Nagulat ako at halos mapatalon ng biglang magbukas ang pintuan sa may driver's seat. I was too busy looking at some of the security personnel that I forgot to lock his door too, so stupid of me!

"Sophia." He warned pero may kaakibat na pakiusap doon.

Hindi ko siya pinansin at nagkunwari na hindi ko narinig ang kanyang tawag. I know it's petty but I am not in the mood to go back to reality yet. I don't want my bubble to burst. I want to stay free.

"Argh! No!" Pigil ko sa kanya ng bigla siyang umakyat sa kanyang sasakyan pero wala naman akong nagawa para hindi siya makasakay muli.

Tinakpan ko ang lock ng aking pintuan but he did not come near me and just killed the engine of his car by just pressing a button.

Tinignan ko lang siya hanggang sa lumabas siyang muli saka ako nakahinga ng maluwang but then I was shocked when all the doors were unlocked and he immediately opened my door na hindi ko na napigilan.

I thought he already surrendered making me go out of his SUV because of my stubbornness but I was wrong. Taksil!

"Out now, Princess," He calmly said as he held on to my door.

"No!" I said irritated because of two things. First, I don't want to go home yet and second, I don't like that he called me princess. No way in hell!

"Alright, you asked for this."

"Ahhhh!" I screamed as he reached for me inside, unbuckled my seatbelt and started to carry me bridal style pero nagpumiglas ako at sinubukan na ilayo ang kanyang mga kamay sa aking katawan but he is too strong for me.

Ayaw ko naman na saktan siyang talaga. I just don't want to get out so my weak attempts to get him off me wasn't effective.

Napahawak nalang ako na masigaw-sigaw habang ibinababa niya ako ng walang hirap sa kanyang sasakyan. Hindi na ako natakot na baka pareho kaming malaglag dahil sa ginagawa kong pagpupumiglas.

"No, no... please, Vlad... no... please..." Paawa ko nang maibaba niya ako habang nakahawak ng mahigpit sa kanyang magkabilang braso at siya naman ay marahan na nakaalalay sa akin, lightly touching the sides of my hip.

"Sophia." His voice was hard but sympathetic.

I know he knew why I don't want to get inside just yet. Of all people, he is the only one who is getting along with me and the only one who understands me. Does he want to continue faking and lying to everyone?

He looked away from me and stared hard at something behind me kaya napatingin din ako roon. It's not something though, it's someone and he is coming right straight to us looking at the man I am with.

I turned my body around ill-tempered with my arms crossed over my chest and face the head of my security that always stick himself to me whenever I go out that I wanted to punch his face very badly. I'm close to doing it right now. I may have a chance to be successful while he is distracted with Vladimir.
