Taming The Superiors (High Class Issue Series #1)

Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Forbidden

The cold wind caressed my skin, and the sky was starting to get dark. Here I am, looking out of the window, and this ambiance is satisfying me. I was alone again, enduring and hiding the pain that I'm afraid to turn into a poison again.

I shut my eyes for a second when the wind started to crawl all over my body. It's like a security blanket against my insanity. My mind is crippled again with anxiety because of the situation. I don't know if I can handle this anymore.

My family is falling apart because of our dirty little secrets. Ano pa ba ang sikreto ng pamilya ko? Sa totoo lang ay pagod na akong marinig ang pangalan namin sa media.

"Vel..." Someone called me and I turned my back with this cold aura of mine.

Nung humarap ako ay nakita ko ang isang lalaki. Katumbas ng kanyang presensya ang nararamdaman ko pero ang tingin niya ngayon sa akin ay ibang-iba kung paano niya ako tingnan noon.

"Hey, Morde," I called his name and flashed a small smile on my lips. Mabibigat ang mga hakbang ko lumapit sa kanya. "W-What are you doing here?" I asked.

Nagpawakala siya ng isang malalim na hininga at parang dumaloy ito sa katawan ko na nakapagpataas ng balahibo ko pero nanatili akong kalmado.

"I'll take you to Desmond. May malay na siya." His voice was dead which made my smile fade away. Deep down in my heart, I was hurt to know that he's here to take me to Desmond. I want to spend my time with him, but he considers that his friend needs me.

He took his gaze away from me, and that shattered my heart. The way he looked at me doesn't match the way he looks at me before. It was dead, or should I say there's nothing anymore.

I sighed. "Give me a second," I mumbled, and I felt that my eyes were burning as I tried to keep my tears at bay.

As I walked towards the bathroom, I glanced at him secretly, and coldness was drawn on his back. He's having a hard time, and yet, he was able to face me.

I know he's still mad, but I have no choice. He was not the only one who's hurt.

Umiling na lang ako at tuluyang pumasok ng banyo para magpalit at hindi nagtagal ay nasa loob na kami ng kotse para puntahan si Desmond sa ospital.

Pagkatapos ng nangyare ay baka hindi na matuloy ang kasal namin ni Desmond. Sa tingin ko ay galit ang magulang niya at nakakahiyang humarap sa kanila dahil sa ginawa ni Tito Collen.

Kung 'yon ang mangyayare ay wala na akong dahilan para umangal. Buhay na ng anak nila ang napahamak at ayokong maulit 'yon.

Umigting ang panga ko dahil halos mabingi na ako sa katahimikan. Panay rin ang pagbuga ng hininga ni Morde kaya nabuo ang pagkairita sa aking sistema.

"Sabihin mo na lang kung may problema ka, hindi 'yung panay ang pagbuntong-hininga mo diyan," usal ko sa iritadong boses pero hindi ko siya nagawang balingan ng tingin.
