BACHELOR'S MAID: Revenge of a Billionaire ✓

Chapter Eighteen

"Kendric let's talk please." Even if I had a morning sickness to deal with this morning ay maaga akong gumising. Thanks God at naabutan ko si Kendric. Kakapasok niya palang sa Mercado building.

"Can't it wait Ave? I have meeting this time." He said with his serious face.

I am wearing a heels, black pencil skirt and bohemian tops. Mabilis ang mga lakad ni Kendric kaya dinodoble ko ang akin.

"Ilang segundo lang naman e. I badly need to talk with you. Please Kends?"

"If this is about you being--bearing that child. It's fine, ako ang kikilanin ng bata." Parang tumalon ang puso ko. I never expected him to react this way.

I did stop from walking.

I smiled when Kendric enter the elevator. I wave my hands and said thank you, he did smiled back pero nang sumirado na ang pinto ng elevator ay nanlaki ang mga mata nito at may tinuturo. Later on, he pushed every button inside pero tuluyang sumirado ang pinto.

What's that?

Anyway, never mind. Kakain muna ako ng pizza sa labas. I caress my tummy and think of where should I go.

Tatalikod na sana ako pero nabunggo ako. Muntik na akong ma out of balance. Oh my God! I'm pregnant!

Akala ko lalagapak na ako sa sahig pero may humapit sa bewang ko. I opened my eyes and saw a very familiar eyes. Agad na tumibok ang puso ko. Damn, I immediately notice his smell and it feels so good. It feels so good to be on his arms.

"X-xander?" Nauutal kong tanong, agad akong umayos ng tayo. He smiled at me and put his hands inside his navy suit.

"Hi!" Aniya, kumunot ang noo ko. Why is this man smiling at me? Hindi niya ba maalalang halos tadyakan niya ang puso ko?

"Excuse me." I said and started walking. Hindi ko alam pero nasisiyahan akong makita siya. Is this because my baby knows he is the daddy? If yes, damn it.

"Wait Avery." Natigilan ako ng hawakan niya ang braso ko. My heart is trembling in happiness. And this can't be!

"Ave please let me borrow a time of you. I want to talk to you." Dumistansiya ako lalo't may mga empleyadong nakakakita saamin. I crossed my arms.

"Talk about what?"

"About what happened several months ago." He said. Umiling ako.

"There's nothing to talk about it Xander. If there is, iyon ay ang pasalamatan ka. I didn't have the chance to thank you for giving back the title. Hindi na nga umabot ng three months diba? I am so grateful for that." I said and bowed my head.

"It's not that Ave. It's about what I've said that night I let you left me. You said you still love me right? At nagsisisi ka na hanggang ngayon mahal mo parin ako.

"No." I lied, I need to lie.

"I moved on already Xander. I did." I said.

Bakas ang gulat sa mukha nito.

"But I'm still not moving on Avery. I'm not moving on even how many years have passed. Hindi ako makamove on." I felt my throat dried. My eyes are also teary. God, what's this? Is he now finally confessing that he is still in love with me?

"I'm sorry I lied to you. I lied because I am planning to take revenge. I am so down when you broke up with me Ave. My anger ate me when I saw you again. The night I too you. Ako parin diba? Ako parin. Kasi ako parin ang una." At ikaw parin ang nakabuntis saakin Xander. I wanted to say it but I can't. Hindi pwede.

"Please Ave, just punished me b-but-- hindi na ako magsisinungaling pa. I'm the man who can't be move. I'm still deeply in love with you. You're my first love." He said and caress my cheeks. I can't stop my tears. It's flowing down my cheeks.

I didn't bother who was looking at me. Nasisiyahan lang ako sa naririnig ko. Kasi putang*na, mahal ko parin siya. Mahal na mahal ko siya. Siya lang, siya lang ang lalaking bumihag sa puso ko.

"Ave I am deeply sorry because I hurt you. I am deeply sorry for thinking about revenge. I am sorry for everything. I'm sorry for the words I throw against you. I'm sorry that until now I am not sorry I did my revenge. Yes sweetie, I'm not sorry. Because the only revenge that reign after all these years is that I loved you. I loved you wholeheartedly. Even you hurt me. I revenged of loving you. So I get you back. But I was blind too of my anger. I used words that can hurt you. I should have let you feel that I am still in love with you too. I'm sorry sweetie." My tears are still flowing. He rested his forehead on mine while gently caressing my cheeks.

"I-I don't know what to say Xander. I love what  you are saying." He said.

Pumikit ako at ninamnam ang sandali. Then I opened my eyes to saw Kendric Guillermo running towards us. Agad niya akong tinago sa likod niya at sinuntok si Xander.

"Kendric!" I shout. Pero hindi ito nakinig. He even punch him again.

"Oh my God Xander! Guard! Guard!" Agad na lumapit ang guard na nasa entrance, inilayo niya si Xander kay Kendric. I held Kendric's arm. He put his hands on my waist.

I saw how Xander's eyes goes down on Kendric's hand.

"Avery what's this?" Tanong ni Xander na para bang naguguluhan. I wiped my tears at napasubsob sa tagiliran ni Kendric.

"Get off Ilustre, Avery is getting married with me." Napakagat labi ako ng marinig ko iyon. That's it. Alam na niya.

"W-what?" I looked at Xander's face and he is so confused.

"But you told me you love what I am saying Avery. You told me!" Aniya at kinuha ang mga kamay mula sa pagkakahawak ng guards.

"Stop it Ilustre. Avery is mine." Saad ni Kendric. I am so sorry for Xander. I don't want him to know this yet. Pero hindi ko napigilan si Kendric. Isa pa, I'm  really getting married even if he got me pregnant.

"I'm sorry Xander, I love what you are saying pero hindi pwede...ikakasal na ako." That was the last bomb. Matapos kong sabihin iyon ay huminga ng malalim si Xander. He wiped the tears on his face and looked at me with no expression.

"That's it Avery. You shattered my heart into pieces...again." I cried when he turned his back. Gusto ko siyang tawagin at yakapin. Gusto kong aminin kung gaano ko siya kamahal pero hindi pwede. Everything in my wedding is prepared.

Araw nalang ang bibilangin at ikakasal na ako. Hindi ako pwedeng umatras. Ano na lang ang sasabihin nila tita?
