BS2: Chained by the Billionaire (On Hiatus)

Chapter 13

"Ansel!" Malakas na tawag ko.

But he did not look back. He completely left. I couldn't explain what I'm feeling at the moment.

"Hayaan mo na 'yon," Arco rubbed my waist.

Mabilis akong napatingin sa kanya. "Ano ba Arco?! Nahihibang ka na ba?! I am married! Alin doon ang hindi mo maintindihan?!" Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko at kinalas ang kamay niyang nakapulupot sa akin.

"Regardless if my feelings for you is the same or not, I am already married!" I bursted. I feel so frustrated. "And you know how sacred marriage is for me!"

Naiinis ako. Hindi ko alam kung sa kanya ba o sa sarili ko.

"Why are you mad? Galit ka ba dahil nakita tayo ng Monterro na 'yun? Naiinis ka ba dahil nagalit siya sa atin? You hate him, right? He for sure knows that you have feelings for me! And I know that you love me too!"

"You kissed me! In his own home! That's just fucked up, Arco!"

"I love you, Iana..."

Lumayo ako sa kanya at umiling. I felt my tears drop. "Bakit ngayon ka lang nagtapat, Arco? Kung kailan huli na ang lahat?" My chest tightened.

Buong gabi ay hindi ako nakatulog. Labis akong nangangapa para lang maintindihan kung ano ang nararamdaman ko. But the whole night, Ansel did not speak to me anymore.

Matapos niya kaming iwan ay hindi ko na siya nakita pa. He went inside the guest room. I bit my lip. Tapos ako pa matutulog sa master's bedroom kung saan siya dapat.

I am so confused! All my emotions are confusing me. It's crazy. I feel happy that the man I love romantically loves me too. Ngunit para din akong nabuhusan ng malamig na tubig. My stomach is tight.

Whenever Ansel is near me, my heart rate abnormally escalates. Lalo na kapag sobrang lapit niya, hindi ako makaisip ng matino. When he cares for me for whatever reason he may have, my stomach churns! And I don't like these feelings! And I hate it when his words and actions affects me badly.

Hindi naman dapat ako ganito kaapektado. Wala akong pakialam sa kanya. Labis na inis at galit lang ang nararamdaman ko sa kanya. I hate everything about him!

But why does he make my heart burn the way it shouldn't be? Why does my body react to his simple gestures? Why does my heart react badly when he cares for me? Why the hell does my own heart beat loudly when he kissed me before?

Listening to Arco's confession awhile ago, my heart bursted in happiness but something is lacking.

Now why do I feel so uptight and guilty when Ansel saw Arco kiss me?! For sure it's because I swore that I will not entertain any guys just like he said when we made a deal.

Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko dahil parang pinipiga iyon sa hindi ko malamang dahilan.

[Iana, rest your foot first. You can have a day-off. Based on the picture of your foot that you just sent me, girl, ang lala ng lagay niyan ha! Makakalakad ka pa ba?] Direk Joe sounds frustrated.

Kinaumagahan ay tawag niya ang bumungad sa akin.

"Nangangamba ako na gagaling na 'to in two days time," I sighed. Pero masakit pa rin e. And the bruise-like-appearance on the affected site doesn't really look good at all.
