THE RUTHLESS WHO OWNS ME ✓

Chapter 24

"Maddox mahal kita."

Tumango siya saakin at hinagkan ang noo ko. I cannot help but to cry. All my life I am deprived with love. Now that I found him, I couldn't get him that easy. What have I done in my past life? I can't remember that I've been a bad daughter for me to experience this kind of pain.

"I know my A, and I love you too." He whispered.

"Hindi ko yata kakayanin kung aalis ka. Huwag ka na lang umalis..."

I bite my lips as we both stared at each other's eyes. Nakalabas na ako ng hospital kanina lang. At iyon pala ang dahilan kung bakit gustong-gusto na ng pamilya ko—specifically Massimo and Victoria na makarating kami sa bahay. Kasi nandito pala si Maddox.

Noong nasa hospital pa ako ako ay hindi maalis sa isipan ko si Maddox. Bawat oras nag-iisip ako kung bakit...bakit hanggang ngayon hindi parin siya bumibisita.

Akala ko hindi na niya kayang pangatawanan ang relasyon namin. Akala ko lang pala.

Kaya pala hindi siya bastang-basta na lumalapit saakin dahil gusto iyon ni papa. I couldn't express my happiness and admiration because of what he have showed to us. He respected my father's decision. Kahit ayaw niya, kahit mabigat sa loob niya ay kaya niyang gawin para saakin, saamin ng baby namin.

He told me that my father, Valero talked with him and told him that I love him so much to the point that I couldn't bear not seeing him. Daddy doesn't want me to be like that. Kaya't papayagan lamang ni dad ang relasyon namin if and only if Maddox flew abroad for six months and manage one of the Brown's company there. After six months of being away from each other he can come back and whatever our hearts desire shall be done.

Siguro ay tama naman 'yon para saamin ni Maddox. Maddox is ruthless, iyon ang pagkakakilala ko sa kaniya. He does whatever he wants and get whatever he likes. On the other hand, my dad have seen my independency towards my family. I don't make decision along with the Garcia's nor with them. But whenever it comes to Maddox, I am so dependent. Like every breathe I does depends on him alone.

Dad sees those things mentioned above as unhealthy. And indeed there are things that needs to be changed for us to have a healthy relationship.

Six months is a long months for us but I am really willing to accept all of it. I am willing to undergo the six months separation if it means having Maddox's by my side forever.

Ika nga ni daddy. Maddox and I shouldn't be too attached with each other. Kailangan lang naming isipin na mahal namin ang isa't-isa and if we really want each other for the rest of our lives we must choose each other over and over again.

Ang galing no? Dad has that wisdom every youth needs today. We shall not see our lovers as someone we owned because we do not. I don't want to go deeper about that idea. I just want to put emphasis on the thought that there is no such this as perfect love, true love and destined person to you, ikaw ang pumipili noon at ikaw ang nagpapanatili noon.

"Maddox hihintayin kita. Hihintayin ka namin ni baby. Siguro seven months na ang tiyan ko kapag nangyari 'yon. Okay lang ba talaga sa'yo na wala ka sa tabi ko sa loob ng mga buwan na 'yon?" Maddox sighed and held my waist.

"My, my, my Aviana. You're such a brat. You're always manipulating me. You know how much I want to see how our baby grow inside your tummy. Of course it will never okay with me but I need to follow your dad so I can ask for your hand.

I do understand your father's sentiment. Nakuha kita sa maling paraan. Ako ang nasunod. I popped your cherry against your will." Aniya at piningot ang ilong ko.

"Kaya naiintindihan ko ang gusto niya. I'm willing to wait and work even if it's  away from my future wife and baby."

Tila hinaplos ang puso ko dahil sa sinabi niyang 'yon. Alam kong hindi perpekto si Maddox. Oo gwapo siya, mayaman at malakas ang sex appeal pero kahit ganoon, maraming kulang sa kaniya. Maraming maipipintas sa kaniya pero kung mahal ka ng tao handa itong magsakripisyo para maging karapat-dapat sa'yo.

Nagpapasalamat ako sa diyos na binigyan niya ako ng isang katulad ni Maddox. Alam naming dalawa na may mali sa isa't-isa. Alam naming dalawa na hindi kami perfect. Pero handa kaming mag adjust, mag lie low para lang pumatay kami sa isa't-isa and I think that's love.

"Sure ka na ba talaga? Ayaw mo bang gawin natin 'yon habang maliit pa ang tiyan ko?" Tanong ko habang nakasampa sa legs niya at nakadantay ang ulo ko sa ilalim ng leeg niya.

"Ang pilya, pilya talaga ng Aviana ko." Saad niya na ikinatawa ko.

"Ano na nga sigurado na ba 'yan?"

Inangat ko ang ulo ko at sinilip ang reaksiyon niya.

"You're killing me my A." He said and reach for my lips and kiss me.

The heat inside me unleash and I started kissing him back hungrily but the door opened and Victoria screamed.

"Oh my! I'm so sorry!" Agad akong umalis sa kandungan ni Maddox at hinarap si Victoria.

"Nakakainis ka naman e." Saad ko at nag pout. Hinila ni Maddox ang kamay ko habang tumatawa.

"Gosh, paano nalang kung naghalikan kami ni Maddox noon? I can't imagine kissing your eww—" nandidiri nitong tugon.

Agad nanlaki ang mga mata ko at dinuro siya.

"Tumahimik ka nga! Hindi din kita mapapatawad no kung hinalikan mo ang Maddox ko! Teka nga—umalis ka nga dito. Alam mo namang aalis na si Maddox bukas diba? Nag-uusap kami distorbo!"

Umikot ang mga mata ni Victoria at agad na lumabas.

I naughtily giggle and turn my back.

"Now...saan na nga ba tayo?" Then Maddox grab my waist push me to my bed and devour me.
