Run, Zhian (EL VICENTE SERIES #2) COMPLETED

Kabanata 32

"I'm fine, Dylan! Bumalik na tayo!" I shouted as he dragged me somewhere.

He opened a door and pushed me inside. Namilog ang mata ko at napaatras kaagad sa tulak niya. I'm dizzy and hella tipsy but I can still think straight! He brought me in a fucking empty VIP room.

Galit ang mga mata niya sa akin. My heart is pounding so fast. Sinugod ko ang pintuan kung saan nasa gilid niya at sinubukang buksan pero mabilis siya. He pushed the door for me to not pull it open.

Two hands, with all force can't still fucking open the door! Hindi ko alam kung mahina lang na ako dahil lasing o talagang bakal ang kamay niya't ganoon katibay!

Hinampas ko ang pintuan. "Let me out! Hahanapin ko si Kael!"

He made me face him by pulling my arms. It was so easy. I feel like I was even submissive. Umangat baba ang dibdib ko habang tinitignan ko siya sa harap ko. He's towering me. His clenching jaw is weakening my knees, add the fact that he's glaring at me.

"Hindi ka aalis hangga't hindi ka kumakalma!" bulalas niya.

Kumuyom ang palad ko at itinulak siya. "How dare you drag me here! Bakit mo ba ako sinundan, ha?!"

He grabbed my waist and pinned me against the wall. Kumuyom ang palad ko sa dibdib niya at halos lukutin na ang damit niya dahil doon ko lang nailalabas ang inis.

"And what? You'll fucking leave me for your boy, huh? Iiwan mo ulit ako?" his voice was firm but he whispered it. "You play too much, Zhianela. You know you can easily wrap me around your fingers without using too much force, hmm.."

Nagkatinginan kami. Sorrow was filling my eyes while his was pure hatred. His lips were parted, slightly panting because of his anger.

"Is this why you've been mad? The reason behind your insults—"

"Who wouldn't be, Zhianela?" his voice raised a bit. "Who wouldn't be fucking mad? You filled me with your sweet words, take me to your fake paradise and then left me hanging."

Hindi ako nakapagsalita. Tears pooled my eyes. Nanatili ang mga mata ko sa kaniya habang dinidinig ang halos mamaos niyang boses. The way he released his anger, the way he tightened his hands on my waist. Pain stabbed my chest multiple times.

"Alam mo ba kung gaano kasakit 'yon? You left me without giving a word! Nakakaputang ina, Zhianela!" he slammed the door behind me. "Do you know how many nights I suffered hearing your sweet lies that keeps hunting me? Kasi putangina, hindi ko alam kung saan ako mali!"

"Dylan.." humikbi ako kasabay ng pagtulo ng luha ko.

"Was I boring? Did I hurt you?" his voice broke. "Tell me what part did I fail, Zhianela. All I ever did was to prove myself to you. Kulang pa ba?"

Bumuhos ang maiinit na luha ko. I covered my trembling lips with the back of my hands. I felt hurt hearing those. Ganito pala kasakit kapag naririnig mo na. I feel like I'm dying due to the nonstop stabs on my chest.

"I'm sorry.." suminghap ako.

"You made me question my worth. My whole stupid worth." diniin niya ako sa pintuan. "Now tell me, Zhianela. Did you left me because you hated me, your dreams or do you love someone else? Fucking made me believe you!"

"My father, Dylan. My.. my father was a criminal! He fooled the people. He fooled you all! Your family wants my father in jail and.. and I don't have a choice.."

He didn't change his expression. Mas lalo lang kumunot ang noo niya. Panay ang hikbi ko habang siya ay panay ang igting ng mga panga niya.

"You knew about it, didn't you?" halos bulong na iyon. "You knew your family's plan! Dylan, dapat alam mo kung bakit ako umalis!"
