Searching for the Mafia Heiress (Sequel)

57

Courtney's POV

Magkahawak ang kamay namin habang naglalakad sa hardin. Tahimik lang kami at kahit na gusto kong pagaanin ang paligid ay hindi ko magawa dahil hindi ko alam kung paano.

Iginaya niya ako sa isang bench at umupo kami roon. I laid my head on his shoulder.

Chase is very important to me now. Kahit na ilang beses kaming naghiwalay at hindi nagka-intindihan, I know that that's a toxic move but he's still a part of me. Hindi ako marupok, mahal ko lang talaga siya.

"Thank you." I whispered.

"For what?" Hindi ko siya sinagot.

I'm not really vocal with my feelings. But I'm trying hard to be one for him and also for my self.

"I know that I'm not vocal, Chase. But always know that I love you."

"I still need to hear it, love."

"I'll try, for you." Nang hindi siya sumagot ay umupo ako ng tuwid at saka hinarap siya.

"We've been through many obstacles already. The only obstacle left is for your brother and his friends to be locked behind bars." Bumuntong hininga siya at lumingon sa akin.

"My brother made a lot of mistakes already. Plus, he's on the run. He needs to be caught. He needs to pay for everything that he have done. Don't mind me and do what you want."

"Chase, I know you. I want to lock your brother behind bars but you, you're such a softie, alam kong nasasaktan ka pa rin para sa kapatid mo---"

"I don't care anymore. I'll just go on with my life with you."

"I understand." Tumatangong sabi ko. It's his life, he knows what's best for him. I'll just be here beside him for support.

"Kailan ka makakalabas sa hospital?"

"Nakalabas na ako." I said at nagsalubong ang magkabilang kilay niya.

"Stop. Don't joke."

"It's not a joke! It's a fact."

"When?" He asked me again.

"Pwede na ngayon but the doctor advised na bukas nalang."

"Bukas? Okay ka na ba? Don't you feel pain anymore?" Napangiti ako sa pag-aalala niya.

"Why are you smiling?" He asked. Niyakap ko siya at ipinatong ang baba ko sa balikat niya.

"I'm lucky to have you caring for me."

"You're not vocal but you sure are good with physical." Sabi niya at saka yumakap pabalik.

"Chase, live with me."

"Sa mansion niyo?" I nodded.

"No. Legal tayo pero may hiya naman ako."

"Swallow it for now. How many do you have in your credit cards? Are you sure you can survive with that?" Humawalay siya sa yakap at saka tiningnan ako.

"My parents froze my account. But they don't knoe that I already transferred all my money to my new card and accounts. And I told my attorney na ako lang ang may karapatan sa credit card ko and he worked on that. My parents can't freeze my cards."

"So, how much?" I asked.

"More than 10."

"Million?" I asked.
