Never Enough (Psycho Series #3)

Chapter 71

"I wonder how much will she offer me this time" i giggled. "Maybe a million?"

"That was never her money" he shooked his head.

"I know, i studied your mother's profile after she attempted to kill my whole fam. Nung nagbreak tayo" i looked at myself in the mirror again, nagaayos kasi ako ng maskara sa mata.

"Attempted?" kunot noo niyang tanong.

"Yeah, wait. Dimo alam? Di ko naikwento?" my lips formed to a circle.

"No. You never spoke about something like that" sagot naman niya.

"Ay ganon? Anyways, kaya nalaman nila mader na pumapatay ako dati kasi pinatay ko tauhan ng nanay mo sa harap nila. We we're kidnapped by your mother's man, and i can't afford seeing them crying and begging. So i snapped the dumb tape they used and killed them barehanded" i shrugged like it wasn't a big deal. I mean, di naman talaga!

"That bitch." he groaned in annoyance. Namumuti narin kamay niya sa sobrang diin ng hawak niya sa manibela.

"Calm down, tapos naman na e" i rolled my eyes. But I am not done being miserable.

"There's no fucking exemption on my anger Xyrille." nagtitiim na ang panga niya, gago mas pogi siya pag nagagalit HAHAHHAAHAHHAA.

"Sige, sabe mo e" pati ako ay di mahanap connect ng sagot ko. "I look great!" sinampal ko yung sarili ko kaya mas lalong kumunot ang noo niya.

"Is, slapping yourself counted? And not just great, you look gorgeous darling" I took my hand and kissed the back of my palm kaya napakagat nalang ako sa labi ko para pigilang ngumiti sabay iwas ng tingin.

Gago talaga, galing magpakilig e!

"We're here" pinagbuksan pa niya ako ng pinto. And i gladly accepted his hand and we walked inside tugedor.

"Good evening lovebirds" Mr.Zalduque greeted us.

"Good eve din po" nag-mano ako.

"Ate Riri?!" That high pitched voice! Luci! "Oh my heavens ate Riri! I missed you!" tili niya sabay yakap.

"Waaa, i missed you too!" niyakap ko din siya ng mahigpit.

"Luh sya nagpagupit!" she combed my hair with her hand, nagbago lang yung atmosphere nung dumating si old woman.

Dahil isa akong mabait at desenteng ghurl ay tahimik lang akong naka-upo. I was smiling everytime my eyes lands on Mrs.Zalduque's. Natatawa ako sa reaction niya tuwing ngingiti ako, she was clearly annoyed. "Alright, are we playing this game again?"

Napatigil ako sa pag-nguya ng patatas tsaka siya tinignan. "Pardon?" What game? Ay, oo yon.

"How much do you need?" Natawa nalang ako nang alukin niya ako ng pera, my laugh was echoing the whole dinig area. "Im sorry, im sorry" i wiped my tears, gago naiiyak nako kakatawa.

"How dare you to laugh at my words—"

"And who do you think you are to step on my pride then?" i arched a brow while smirking.

"Hah, you talk like your all wealthy" she scoffed.

"Oh my, Im sorry then, but was Flaire crowned already? She should've been crowned by now." tanong ko habang sumisimsim sa tubig ko. "Was she?"

"N-no... Not yet" I pushed a button!

"Oh poor her, i heard kasi na may napili na silang bagong reyna" i giggled.

"Flaire won't lie to me. She's loyal and faithful to her mother in law." Nicholai pursued his lips and clenched his fist in anger. Hinawakan ko nalang yung kamay niya tsaka siya nginitian. I told you darling, she can't make me cry.
