The Cruel Billionaire's Marriage Contract(COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 25: DEEP SECRET

"Woman, where are you?"

Natigil ang panginginig ng katawan ni Haven nang marinig ang pamilyar na boses na iyon.
 

Aries?

Mabilis niyang binuksan ang aparador mula sa loob na kinaroroonan niya at sumalubong sa kanya ang liwanag ng flashlight na hawak ni Aries at nakatutok sa kanyang direksyon.

"Aries!" she shouted and ran over him and threw her arms around his neck.

Sa ginawa Haven napa-atras ang mga paa ni Aries saktong nasa likuran nito ang kama napatid ang likod ng paa nito at nasama ang bigat niya sa katawan ng asawa, kasabay niyon sabay silang bumagsak sa ibabaw ng kama at nabitawan nito ang hawak na flashlight.

Aries put his arms protecting her waist while Aries' feet were on the floor.

Haven finds safety on Aries arms.

Bagama’t si Aries nagulat sa pagyakap na iyon ng asawa sa kanyang leeg. He felt like someone's waiting for him to come back and misses him so much. He couldn't figure it out but it makes him feels good and comfortable.

"W-what's wrong with you?" he stammered.

"All this horrible, brutality and this house and the lake all around and the silence!" naiiyak na sabi niya na parang may nang-away sa kanya nagsusumbong at nasa ganoong ayos pa rin sila. Habang ang dilim sa paligid sakop pa rin sila.

"You're afraid of everything that surrounds you?" hindi makapaniwala na tanong nito.

"I hate being alone in the darkness! It bothered me so much!  I promise I will do everything just please don't leave me again in this horrible place!" she said and cried in despair.

"Shh," he murmured, stroking her hair. "Everything's fine. Nobody will try to hurt you here...dadaan muna sila sa kamay ko sa sinumang magnanais na pumasok dito." assurance na sabi nito.

Totoo ba ang mga narinig niya? That Aries will protect her?

She gave a laugh which was a sob.

"Hindi mo ba ako naiintindihan! Take me somewhere else huwag lang dito! I don't like it here! It's killing me! This life—the brutality and cold horror of it! I'm going mad! I can feel the threat of the air! I can hear the silence threatening me! And...I think...someone will try to abduct me—!" nagulat siya nang biglang nag-iba ang posisyon nila ni

Aries kung kaya't nabitawan niya ang pagkakayap ng mga kamay niya sa leeg nito.

He was now on the top of her. Hinawakan ni Aries ang magkabilang balikat niya. Sa kaunting liwanag ng flashlight na tumatama sa mukha ng asawa nakita niya ang pag-alala sa mukha nito.

"Woman, what foolish mocking is this? You were overreacted."

"You really don't understand me!? Don't you see? I don’t want to wait back here in this house all alone! I won't stand it—I can't stand it! I-I wanted to be with you Aries!" sa wakas nasabi din niya ang pinupunto niya.

Nakita niya ang pagkagulat sa mga mata ni Aries pero saglit lang at muling sumeryoso ang mukha nito.

"Go to sleep, you're all wore out crying over what can't be helped." sabi nito at akmang aalis sa pagkakadagan sa kanya ng hilahin niya ang damit nito.

"P-please, stay for a while, I-I'm begging you kahit ngayon lang maging mabait ka sakin." paki-usap niya muli niyang nakita ang pagkagulat sa mukha nito.

"Okay. Was everything alright when I wasn't at home?"

"Yes. All going well but not until the electricity went off."
