Chapter 14

Nagising na naman ang dalaga na may nakapulupot na braso sa kanyang beywang. It's always been like this. Gigising siya ng madaling araw para sana takasan ang binata ngunit masyadong mahigpit ang pagkakayapos nito na para bang alam nitong lalayasan niya ang binata.

She needs to talk to her manager, and it will be all about their deal. She'll tell her about the progress of her stupidity with the mayor of Romblon. Halos tatlong linggo na rin siyang nandito sa mansion at hindi nakakalabas. Lucas is very strict, and she doesn't know why. It's frustrating. Gusto niyang maglakwatsa ngunit hindi siya pinapayagan, nakakairita rin minsan. His guards are always outside, ready to stop her from escaping. This is really not good. Hindi niya na rin nakikita ang fiancée nito na hindi niya alam kung good news ba or bad news.

"Lucas, maliligo pa ako." She tried pulling his arms off her waist. Ngunit ang binata ay mas hinigpitan lang nito. She took a loud breath and turned to face him. Pinanliitan niya ito ng mga mata. How can this man look so handsome even when asleep? "Let my waist go, Lucas."

Slowly, he lifted his eyelids and smiled at her. Hindi 'yun inaasahan ng balaga kung kaya't nagulat siya sa pagngiti nito. "Good morning..."

Umiwas ng tingin ang dalaga. She can't take his intense stares. Pakiramdam niya ay parang may sasabog sa kanyang dibdib. Her heart is thumping so fast, just like, what the hell? Hindi pa rin humuhupa ang kilig niya sa pagngiti ng binata.

"Good morning," she replied, acting bored. She checked the time on her wristwatch. "Hayaan mo naman ako maglakwatsa, Lucas. Nabo-bored na ako rito. You won't even let me go out with your mom. Bakit ba?"

His face moved next to her. Napasinghap ang dalaga nang bigla nitong kagatin ang tenga niya. "Not when everyone knows you're already staying in my mansion, Xiana."

She groaned. Someone spotted her that night when she was walking barefoot. Hindi pa alam ng iba na nandito siya sa Pinas, kaya't nang kumalat ang litrato niya ay nagkagulo ang mga fans niya. Her Instagram account is full of unread messages and notifications.

Kaya't bantay sarado na siya ni Lucas. Hindi na siya pwedeng makagala kagaya nang una siyang makaapak ng Pinas. She needs to be more careful. Lalo na ngayong dalawang linggo na lang ay tapos na ang dalawang buwang kontrata niya rito.

"It doesn't matter, aalis na rin naman ako. Gusto ko silang makausap. Lucas, naman e!" Nangangalaiti siyang bigwasan ang lalaking kaharap niya.

His expression turned blank. "You'll leave?"

Pakiramdam niya ay parang may tumusok sa puso niya nang mapansin ang pagbalatay ng pait sa boses ng binata. She gulped and acted like she wasn't affected by his damn voice. "Duh? Matatapos na ang dalawang buwang kontrata ko dito, Lucas. Mawawalan ka na ng sakit sa ulo!"

Inis niyang kinalas ang braso ng binata sa kanyang beywang at bumangon. She headed to the bathroom for a shower. Medyo masakit pa rin ang kaselanan niya. Ever since that night, Lucas has started to get clingy around her. He's sweet; even his voice is soft. Parang laging nanlalambing. At she won't deny the fact that she's falling for him.

I fell into my own trap

She's aware that her feelings for him are growing stronger and stronger, but here she is, not bothering to distance herself from him. Bigla tuloy niyang naririnig ang boses ni Melody na tila ba ay pinapangaralan siya. This is the consequence of their deal that she needs to face.

She fell in love with the man who's committed to someone else. And the worst part is ikakasal na sila. But his actions are giving her hope that maybe he had a change of heart. She can see it in the way he guards her.
