Chapter 28

Ipinagdasal ko na sana ay may humabol at pumasok sa pagitan ng pagsarado ng pintuan ngunit nabigo rin sa huli. I bit my lower lip. Marahan akong bumuga ng hangin. Imbes na magpaapekto ay diretso at taas-noo na lang akong tumingin sa aking repleksyon.

Narinig ko ang sunud-sunod na pagbuga niya ng hangin. I bravely glanced at him. I saw him looking directly at me, serious and angry. His height, stature, and cold aura was intimidating. He didn't look particularly happy. Umawang ang bibig ko.

"You've been attracting some businessmen, huh," he said that very slowly.

Kinabahan ako. I awkwardly shifted on my weight, my body overly aware of the predatory male just a meter away from me.

"And I see you're already dating someone. I thought you're going back to your Lynea after the annulment, Mr. Gray..." marahan kong sinabi nang hindi siya tinitignan.

He chuckled sarcastically. "The girl I was with was Lynea."

I froze, heart suddenly pounding in my ears. My head automatically snapped at him. Suminghap ako at napakurap-kurap sa sinabi niya. His brow shot up. His expression screams sarcasm and mockery now. He stepped towards me. Tumigil siya sa gilid ko at tinagilid ang ulo na para bang kinakabisado ang mukha ko ng malapitan.

Dumoble ang lakas at bilis ng pintig ng puso ko. Too hard and fast that it already hurts.

"O-Oh..." hilaw akong ngumisi. "T-That's great!"

My breath caught in my throat. Nakatitig siya sa akin, seryoso at parang may inaabangan. Nanginginig ang labi ko sa pagpipilit na ngumiti.

"She's very pretty and sexy. Bagay kayo."

He remained seriously looking down at me. "I know." His tone was curt.

Suminghap ako.

"Y-You shouldn't be talking to me then..." I softly whispered and looked away.

The big possibility that he's serious with Lynea now hurts more than when he was dating different women during our marriage. He got rid of them as often as he discarded his used shirts. I knew he only treated them as his passing flings. I knew he was never serious. Pero ngayon...

Natulala ako. From the corner of my eyes, I saw him rake a frustrated hand on his unruly dark hair. I swallowed hard. Sumasakit ang puso ko kapag naiisip na paniguradong kinuha niya pa ang babae sa America para makapagsimula dito. He wanted to be with her. Gusto kong maiyak pero pinigilan ko ang sarili ko. I need to look calm and composed in front of him. Hindi pwedeng makita niya kung gaano ako ka-miserable.

"Pull up your top. Your boobs are showing."

Trying to comprehend what he said, I looked at him through the mirror. His gaze lowered on my top. Umawang ang bibig ko nang matanto ang sinabi niya.

Bumaba ang tingin ko roon.

"That's why you are getting alot of attention, huh?" He drawled with distinct mockery.

My brows automatically shot up at what he said. Handa na akong barahin siya pero napangunahan ako ng pagtunog ng lift. Matapang kong sinalubong ang nagbabaga niyang tingin. In the end, I sighed and fled without warning.

"I said fix your fucking top." His voice rang with command behind me.

He muttered some curses. Natigilan ako nang marinig ang pagsunod niya sa akin sa basement. Pero mas natigilan ako nang ma-realize kung anong sinasabi niya! Kalmado ko siyang nilingon. Quick anger lit in his eyes. He was breathing hard and fast.
