Forced Marriage

Chapter 35

Kabanata 35

" Isabella! " My father ran up to me and he stopped for a bit and held his chest. Nataranta ang assistant nurse niya saka pinigilan siya.

" Sir! Kalma lang po! Ang puso niyo! "

I blinked and I only got to back to the reality as I realize my father is having difficulty breathing. Lumawak ang mata ko at agad kinakabahan saka lumapit.

" Papa! Omygod! " Ngayon ko na naramdaman ang sarili.

All were a blur to me, when I went out of the condominium and how I'm in Papa's company.

Halos hindi ko maalala paano ako napunta dito sa tulala ng isip ko. All I know is this, Papa is here, tearing up when he saw me.

Mabilis niya akong niyakap at huminga ng malalim. " Oh! Isabella! A-Anak! " His voice shake and I felt his hand shake too.

Kumurap ako at naluha, the way he called me anak make me come back to my senses. Pinigilan ko ang luha ko pero nanlalabo na ang mata. Something soothe me inside but the cold and emptiness didn't fade away.

" Papa.. I'm here. " I said softly.

Then I heard him sob, nagulat ako pero nakaramdam ng lungkot at konting saya.
Papa, here, crying in my arms because he was scared..scared he'd lose me.

" I-I'm so sorry anak. I'm so sorry. I tried finding you, I looked for you. " He says and I shakily bit my lip.

I caressed his back, I almost forgot that I was kidnapped. The only thing occupying my mind is Arthur's betrayal.

Daphne's naked state while she try to hide herself in the covers, Arthur who's has a towel on him..

Something squeezed inside me painfully.

" W-What happened? Did they hurt you? I will find them, I won't rest until they're captured. Those fucktards! " Dad hissed.
" How dare them take my daughter away?! I will kill all of them! "

I winced at his words. " Papa, let's forget about it now please. I-I want to go back to the mansion, to our house Papa. I'm scared here. " I said like a little child, I feel like it anyway. I feel so weak and vulnerable.

I feel so broken.

" Alright iha. Nacontact mo na ba ang asawa mo? Arthur—" I cut him off.

" I-I don't want to see him. Please don't force me to see him. " Naluha ako sa harap niya.

His lips parted and he stared at me for a second before nodding hesitantly. " Okay. Okay I won't. But are you sure? He has to know..nag-aalala iyon—"

" Papa please! " I raised my voice, natigilan ako nang marealize anong mali ko. I never raised my voice at my father. I stilled and my voice broke.

" A-Alright. Alright Isabel. " He caressed my back and I cried. He pulled me close so I cried in his chest.

When was the last time we were this close? In my mother's funeral?

Naluha ako at umiyak ng umiyak. Halos hindi matigil kaya panay hagod niya sa likod ko.

" Hassen, prepare our private jet. My daughter and I are flying back to Bohol. " He says at his assistant who nodded.

" Right away sir. " Wika nito at umalis.

Papa sighed and he caressed my hair.
" You're okay.. you're okay now. " He tried to soothe me.

I broke down again.

The same day, we fled to Bohol. The jet landed in our golf yard, we were taken by a range rover to the mansion.
