The Bad Boy's Queen (R-18 Vikings Series)

Chapter 34

🥀

Diane

Kasalanan na ba ngayon ang gawin ang lahat para lang sa taong mahal ko?

Kung kasalanan ang ipaglaban ang taong mahal ko, aakuin ko iyon.

I accept my sins.

Mali man kung mali pero hindi ko siya kayang isuko. If I have to stoop this low, I would do it over and over again if this is what it takes for Zarena to let him go.

Can you blame me for loving someone so much?

Can you blame me if I say I don't like him to be happy with another girl?

I am desperate. Desprate to have him. Desperate to be loved by him.

Kahit manlang kahit konting pagmamahal. Kahit katiting lang ang itinabing pagmamahal sa akin ni Luke, pagkakasyahin ko iyon. That's enough for me. A little love from him is more than enough.

Staying in London for years, I never wanted any man other than Luke. I never loved another man aside from him. Hindi ako tumingin sa iba dahil siya lang ang gusto kong tignan pag-uwi ko. I denied courtships from other men. Kahit may mga nanliligaw sa akin, ni isa wala akong tinanggap dahil hindi sila si Luke. Hindi sila ang mahal ko.

I have waited for years to come home and see the man I love. And now that I'm here, I'll do whatever it takes to have him. Alam kong may masasaktan, pero hindi ko kayang mawalan ng dahilang mabuhay. The reason I strived to finish my studies is because of him. The reason I am still living despite of how hard life is, it's because of him. The reason why I came home, it's because of him.

Lahat ay dahil sa kanya.

Zarena

I wiped the tears that fell from my eyes.

Hearing her sob pains me. But what she is aking me to do is what hurts me the most. She is asking me to let go of Luke. She is asking me to push away the man I love. The man who owns my heart.

She is asking too much.

Pumikit ako at sumandal sa upuan.

Hapon na. At matindi ang sikat ng araw. Pero hanggang ngayon, hindi maalis-alis sa isip ko ang hinihinging pabor sa akin ni Diane. She left just a while ago. But until now, her words struck right inside my chest.

Giving up Luke is never an option for me. And never will it be.

He asked me to trust him. Kaya iyon ang gagawin ko.

I exhaled and dried my tears.

But I know that it won't ever be easy. Nakasalalay rin ang paglago ng negosyo ng pamilya ni Luke sa kasal na iyon.

I tried to stop my tears. Pero hindi ko napigilan.

Luke is engaged to her. Kahit pa hindi pumayag si Luke, they are engaged. And their marriage is pending.

"Za?"

Mabilis kong pinunasan ang mga luha ko nang marinig ang boses ni Catalya. "Nanjan ka ba? Natapos ko na yung case natin" I heard her say from the outside.

Mabilis kong inayos ang sarli ko tsaka binuksan ang pintuan.

Kita ko ang pagdako ng mga mata niya sa mugto kong mga mata. I smiled at her. "Nanood ako ng drama. Hindi ko nakaya yung sakit kaya naluha ako. So don't look at me that way" Pilit kong ginawang normal ang boses ko para hindi niya mahalata.
