Love Me Harder (Contract Series #2)

Chapter 28

Chapter 28

After everything that I have heard from him, I forgive him. We both went through a lot.

He proved himself to me each day. That he deserves a second chance. I don't promise him anything because it would be unfair to him if I wasn't ready yet to enter a relationship.

I don't want to give him false hope.

I could only offer him friendship and he's okay with that.

I don't close any possibility to like someone but not for now.

His Dad were totally healed already. It took years for him to get out of depression, with proper medication, treatment and psycho-theraphy.

BALITA: Matinding pag-ulan at hangin ang inaasahang tatama sa kalupaan ngayong araw dulot ng nagbabadyang bagyo. Pinag-iingat ang lahat at siguraduhing handa sa pagdating nito.

"Are you ready?" tanong ni Zedric habang inalalayan ako pababa ng kotse niya.

We are hesitant to come at first because of the typhoon. Walang tigil sa pag-ulan nang umaga at ngayong gabi lang ito tumila.

He was invited to a cruise ship business event and I'm his plus one. He will represent his Dad as co-sharer. I was uncertain to attend but he begged me to be with him kaya wala na akong nagawa kung hindi ang samahan siya.

It was a white - black theme party.

I'm wearing a dress made of white crystals that shimmer and sparkle with my every movement. The crystals was arranged in intricate patterns, perhaps resembling lace or flowing lines, creating an ethereal and enchanting effect.

The dress would catch and reflect light, casting a mesmerizing glow around. It would likely be lightweight yet sturdy, allowing for graceful movement while exuding an air of elegance and sophistication.

Malawak ang lugar at elegante. Ang buong lugar ay nababalot ng crystal designs, mula sa mamahaling chandelier hanggang sa buong set-up ng cruise.

Zedric was holding my waist as we enter the entrance of the cruise ship. Sinalubong kami ng iba't-ibang klase ng personalidad at tao sa loob. Mayroong kilalang politiko, business man, celebrity at mga ma-impluwensyang tao.

We walked to the side where the camera man took pictures of the visitors. I project and we take a pose when the lens captured some shots.

As we're busy taking photos, ang atensyon ko ay napako sa mata ng lalaking paparating, seryosong nakatitig sa amin ni Zedric.

His eyes seem to pierce through me deeply that I feel peaking at the core of my soul. His gaze is just too penetrating, too cold and distant.

He was with Hyacinth that was wearing a combination of white-black maxi-dress style.

I had to look away before I get drawn with his stares.

What is he doing here? Anong ginagawa ni Aldrin at Hyacinth dito?

We sit on the reserved chair and table for us. Kahit nakaupo ay tanaw ko mula sa pwesto ko ang magka-hawak nilang kamay habang kinukunan ng larawan.

I looked at Aldrin, his eyes were burning with hatred, anger and disgust while looking on our direction.

Sobrang liit ba ng mundong ginagalawan namin? Bakit hindi ko naisip na maaring nandito rin sila sa business event na ito?

I can't blame Zedric, he must not have  idea too. Wala rin naman siyang alam kung anong namagitan sa amin ni Aldrin dahil hindi ko sinabi sa kanya.
