Forced Marriage

Chapter 41

Kabanata 41

Peter pulled over our mansion.

" Saan ka na? " Tanong ko nang hindi pa umaalis. He's been silent throughout the ride perhaps for what happened. Ni hindi ako nilingon, I figured he's mad but I don't know why he has to be silent at me too.

Bumuga siya ng hininga at nilingon ako.
" Should we file a restraining order against him? " He asked.

Nabigla ako pero napaisip din. I sighed.
" That's Arthur, even the law can't stop him. My Dad tried before, what happened? " I said, also the reason why we had top security because we're dealing with a man of his caliber. He's not easy to deal with.

Bumuga siya ng hininga at nagmura.
" Tangina, hindi ko alam pano ang dami niya pa ring pera sa mga nangyayari sa pamilya niya. " He says and I blinked.

" Huh, what happened to them? " I asked confused. May nangyari bang malaki pagkatapos non? What about his family? Tinakwil siya dahil pinili si Daphne?

" Sorry..hindi ko dapat sinabi sayo-"

" Anong nangyari sa kanila Peter? "

He sighed. " Drinks? Sa bar? " Tanong niya. Every time he says this I know he wants to tell a story.

" Wine lang, sa loob. Come on. " Wika ko.

Tumango siya. As I've said, I've never went to a bar again.

Archer is asleep as what Julia told me so dumiretso lang kami sa kitchen at kumuha siya ng wine at beer. I guess wine for me, beer for him.

" So..start talking. " I demanded while he poured us both a drink.

He sighed. " Last year, no..last one and half year actually, " kwento niya. I waited.
" There was a lawsuit of who's the owner of AREC. Ang papa ni Arthur kalaban siya, I think he won but the fight between father and son had lost Arthur quite a sum of investors. " Wika pa niya.

My lips parted, oh. I remember the last time I saw the two together. Wala silang magandang pagsasamahan dati pa, hindi ko inaakalang umabot sa ganon.

" There was no much information about them after that but.." he sighed. " Hindi ko alam bakit siya lumalapit sayo, mag-ingat ka Isabel. Pakiramdam ko may kailangan iyon sayo. You're already very established now. Lubog na lubog na siya kaya ka siguro tinakbuhan. " He says.

My lips parted and I realized that might be true. I felt cold and my heart hurt once again. That, sa pagkakakilala ko sa kanya, magagawa niya nga iyan.

He had fooled me then, what's stopping him to fool me now?

Mapait akong ngumisi at naramdaman ang umuusbong na galit. Arthur, I want so bad to claw on your arrogant face. How dare you..

" So then..maybe I can push for restraining order. " I said when I realized what he meant.

Tumango siya. " Tignan lang natin. I'll remind the guards to tighten the security more. We can't risk him knowing Archer, he will use him as your weakness if ever chance may appear. " Wika niya kaya nanlamig ako lalo. " He kidnapped you once Isabel, he will not hesitate to do it with your son. I'm warning you, be careful. "

Kumurap ako at pakiramdam ko'y nakagawa ako ng malaking kasalanan. To think that he also got my phone!

Tinignan ko ang cellphone na bigay niya, sabi niya pinaayos niya ang cellphone ko dahil nasira. But..really?

Was that really an act of kindness or there's something missing? He has a agenda in here.

He could've planted something here..to spy on me.
