The Billionaire's Wicked Scars | RBS 3

CHAPTER 8 - DAYS

AMARA

"Thank you for your time, Attorney."

Matapos ng mahabang pag-uusap, tumayo si Nikkolai at nakipagkamay sa abogado. I did the same and with trembling hands, I shook the old man's hand.

"You look wonderful. Thank you for being his bride-to-be, Miss Jones," mahinang sambit ni Atty. Davinti.

I awkwardly smiled. His eyes were like communicating to me. Telling a hidden message that I need to know. Nang bitawan niya ang kamay ko ay tumabi sa gilid ko si Nikkolai. 

Nagpaalam sa amin si Attorney Davinti. Naiwan kaming dalawa ni Nikkolai sa loob ng study room. Tahimik na nagkatinginan. Pinapakiramdaman ang isa't-isa.

"You heard it... right?" he suddenly asked. Breaking the silence.

I sighed deeply.

"The last condition. You heard it right?" ulit niyang tanong.

Tumango ako.  My mind suddenly wandered off. Parang nablangko ako at wala ni isang desisyon ang pumapasok sa'kin.

"Don't tell me you're backing out?"

Humarap siya sakin at malamig na tumitig. His face suddenly became gloomy. The ruthlessness of his aura is screaming right now and I might think in just swift seconds, he can crush me with his bare hands.

"Hindi ko inakalang, kailangan kitang bigyan ng anak para lang magawa ang lahat ng kondisyon ng ama mo. Do we really have to do it? Wala na bang ibang paraan?" my voice slightly panicking.

Kung itutuloy ko ito, lahat ng sinabi ni Attorney Davinti, kailangan mangyari dahil kung hindi, mababalewala ang lahat ng hakbang namin ni Nikkolai. But why didn't he told me about bearing a heir? Una pa lang dapat alam niya na ang lahat ng nasa last will and testament ng kanyang ama. He have that paper for four years! Malabong hindi niya nabasa lahat?

"There's no other way around it.  We only have one choice and that is to do it," he seriously said then look away.

My brows furrowed at his statement.

"You knew all of these from the very start, didn't you?"

Hindi siya sumagot. Lumalim lamang ang kanyang hininga. Something flashed from his eyes as he look at the other side of the room.

I closed my eyes in irritation. I should've been careful. Now, this is the result of my impulsive and selfish decision. I agreed on this without checking even the finest details of the arrangement. What to do now? I'm so reckless damn it!

"So what are we going to do now? Paano kung ayaw kong gawin ang sinabi ni attorney?" I asked after a long self-reprimanding.

He shifted his weight on the other side and leaned his head a little to my direction as he looked at me with the same cold eyes.

Mahinang paghigit ng hininga ang nagawa ko.

"Do I have to blackmail you for you to agree or nah?" he suddenly chuckled. Naningkit ang mga mata niya.

"Amara darling, you agreed in the first place. There's no other way out here. You have to obey me now at the same time enjoy the benefits of being a Galanis, if you keep in mind all the reasons why you accepted my insane proposal," he moved a step to me and slowly descended his head to level mine.

Mas lalo akong nagpigil ng hininga dahil sa kaba. His coldness changed to a devilish tone. Perfectly matching his deceitful eyes. There's some emotion playing on his face and I can't tell if it's good or bad.

Gaya ng sinabi ko, he is a dangerous man.

He suddenly licked his lower lip as his face an inch from mine. Why does he have to do this stunt over and over again!?
