Ivy's POV
"It's amusing that you constantly go up unannounced and picking a fight" Isip isip ko habang nanatiling nakangiti ng plastik sa kanya. He's so childish.
"You know-" Nilapitan ko sya at astang sasagot pero napatingin kami sa gilid ng may biglang sumulpot.
"Eivan!"
"Ivy! Where's the doctor? Maximilian's awake!" Humihingal na sigaw ni Chloe habang lumalapit sa direksyon namin.
Nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi nya, He's awake?! nagmamadali akong umalis at iniwan sila ni Eivan, bago lakad ng dare daretsyo sa kwarto ko. Pagka dating ko sa kwarto agad kong binuksan ang pinto ng may ngiti sa labi pero napalitan ng pagkakunot ang noo ko ng makita si Leighlani sa loob.
What is this bitch doing here?
"Oh, Dahan Dahan.." Inaalalayan nyang bumangon si Maximilian habang nakahawak sa likod at balikat nya, hindi ko alam kung bakit biglang kumulo ang dugo ko. Agad akong lumapit sa kanila tinabig ang kamay nya bago sya tiningnan ng malamig. Medyo gulat ang ekspresyon nya sa bigla kong pag sulpot.
"Chloe's looking for you, she said she have something important to tell you" Seryoso kong sabi habang tinitingnan sya ng daretso sa mata ng may pagbabantang tingin. Nagtataka nyang hinarap si Maximilian na confuse lang na nakatingin sa amin bago ulit ako hinarap.
"Okay?... I'll be back" She said while glaring at me, ng malampasan nya ko hindi ko maiwasang mapaikot ang mga mata. She truly irritates me. trespassing into my room without my consent. Tsss. Idinako ko ang tingin kay Maximilian, Nakatingin sya sakin ng inosente at mukhang nagtataka, why is he making that expression,
it's way too cute, Iniling ko ang ulo ko at lumapit sa kanya, hinawakan ang baba nya bago pinagmasdan ang may bangas nyang mukha, It's been two weeks, hindi parin nawawala, Tiningnan ko sya ng may naalala ako. "Why did you let them?" Seryoso kong tanong.
Tiningnan nya ako ng nagtataka, Tsk. "Why did you let them beat you?" Puno ng kaseryosohan kong tanong habang hinahawakan ang putok nyang labi na hindi parin gumagaling.
His much stronger than me, I know he has a reason. He won't let Dad beat him without special reasons. He chuckles at me. "Why do you know me so well?" Natatawa nyang tanong habang sumasandal sa headboard ng kama. I know you more than anyone else, I have known you for years.
Nanatili lang akong nakatingin sa kanya kaya nagbuntong hininga sya bago nagsalita. "It's not your Dad" Panimula nya habang tinitignan ako sa mata. Kumunot ang noo ko. "He's not the one who wants to assassinate you..."
Is he talking about the time I got shot in the building? I suspect that it's either Eivan or Dad, if it's not Dad... it's Eivan? Nilingon ko ulit si Maximilian ng seryoso. "So yan ang dahilan kaya nagpabugbog ka?" Sarkastik kong tanong.
Hinawakan nya ang ulunan ko at sumagot. "Worth it naman di ba? Atsaka gwapo pa rin" he looks at me with a killer smile on his lips. Grabe din tong lalaking 'to, kahit may bangas hindi parin nabawasan ang karisma.
"Don't hate your dad too much... your dad isn't your enemy," He said while ruffling my hair. Hell, I care if he hurt me or not, He hurt you dumbass, Tinanggal ko ang kamay nya sa ulo ko at hinawakan bago ko tiningnan ang silver nyang mga mata.
"But he wants you dead..." I said seriously. "I won't let him hurt you again" Malamig kong dagdag habang tinitignan sya ng may seryosong mata.
I won't permit him to touch you once again. Dad is so enigmatic. It isn't easy to comprehend his thoughts. Even if he doesn't have any immediate intentions for me, what about later? All he cares about is the throne..... if Eivan's rebellion failed.
He might control me in the future. So it doesn't matter if Dad or Eivan hold the first to the highest order, for me they're both dangerous. Naputol ang malamig na atmospera ng pinisil ni Maximilian ang magkabilang pisnge ko.
"Hey, that hurts!" bulaslas ko habang sinusubukan tanggalin ang kamay nya.
"Your now acting mature, huh?" Natatawa nyang bulaslas habang hinihila ako papalapit at pinipisil ang ilong ko.
I'm always mature... Since my resurrection. Sinamaan ko sya ng tingin pero parang lalo syang naganahan akong asarin, kelan ba magseseryoso ang lalaking to?
Hadrian's POV
Napahigpit ang kapit ko sa plastic bottle na hawak ko habang pinapanood sila. "Did you really... fall out of love?" Tiim bagang kong bulong habang pinagmamasdan sya.
Her gaze... It was the first time I saw her with a soft and gentle look after she begin to despise me for unknown reasons... Kinuyom ko ang kamao habang nakatingin sa kamay ng tarantadong yun na nakalagay sa baywang nya.
Gusto kong putulin ang maruruming kamay niya. Bakit ba lagi siyang nag-aalala sa lalaking iyon? I heard she's even ignoring Eivan like me but not that man... "She's even sweet..." Nakakuyom kamaong isip isip ko habang nakatingin sa mukha nya, nakangiting parang wala ng bukas. Bakit?! Bakit siya pa sa lahat ng tao?! I clenched my teeth bago tumalikod.
Kahit labag sa loob, naglakad ako papalayo ng may madilim na aura. Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko sa bulsa at binuksan ang contacts.
"You won't get away from me, Ivy... Pay the consequence of stealing my heart" Malamig kong isip isip habang nananatiling naglalakad na nakalagay ang cellphone sa tainga. Pagkatapos magring ng ilang beses,
Sinagot ni Dad ang tawag.
"Do you need anything, Hadrian?" Panimula nya.

Ivy's POV
"W.. What??" React ko habang nakatingin sa kanya ng hindi makapaniwala.
"Looks like that asshole gone nuts..." Kuyom kamao kong isip isip.
"You'll be marrying Hadrian in three days" Malamig nyang ulit habang nakatingin sa mga papeles na pinipirmahan nya.
"Can we-" I was about to speak when he cut my words.
"Remember the deal..." ibinaba nya ang ballpen sa gilid bago tinuon ang magkabilang siko sa table at tiningnan ako ng seryoso.
"Marry Hadrian... Or Maximilian will die.." He threatened at me while looking at my eyes coldly, dahil sa galit na nararamdaman hindi ko na nakontrol ang emosyon ko at binigyan din sya ng malamig na mga mata.
"Why is he so eager to marry me off to that bastard? Am I that annoying in his eyes?" Malamig kong isip isip habang pinapantayan ang malamig nyang mga mata. Hindi na sya ganon nagulat ng pantayan ko ang malamig nyang mga mata.
"You know Ivy..."
"Weaknesses are always obstacles to our path... It stops us from moving and blinds us to love..." Malamig nyang sabi habang sumasandal sa swivel chair at nakadekwatro akong tiningnan.
"But weaknesses are also strengths... It teaches us to learn from the mistakes we've made, it becomes a lesson so we don't repeat the same mistakes." Seryoso kong dagdag sa kanya habang tinitignan sya ng walang emosyon.
Tumayo si Dad sa pagkakaupo at tumuon papalapit sakin bago bumulong ng malamig sa tainga ko. "Then prove your words... Prove that Maximilian isn't just your weakness... Prove to me that his also your strength."
".... Don't be pathetic like Eivan"
Tiningnan ko sya sa kanyang mata ng walang emosyon, What does he mean by that? I know that Eivan and Dad have a grudge against each other because of the succession of the throne. It's clear that he wants me to overtake his steps, But I'm still wondering what's the reason why he hates Eivan this badly... From what I know it will be 4 months before his rebellion.
Is Eivan already making his move?
