Loving You With My Hands Tied ✔️

Kabanata 26: Engagement Party

He's like a gentleman, like an actual butler, you know?

Pero nung inamin niya sa'kin ang lahat sa hotel, 'di ko pa narealize nung time na yun yung gano'ng version ni Dominic na pawis na pawis at parang 'di niya 'ko kayang makita na ikasal sa iba.

At that time I was crying because I was in so much pain that I'm marrying someone else and it would not be Dominic.

It's the worst, okay?

Pinangako ko na nga sa sarili ko na siya ang mismong pakakasalan ko tapos ngayon pakakasalan ko si Silas dahil sa bwisit na Villanueva na yun?

Of course I have to save Silas' family and him, and mine too.

Maraming madadamay at ayokong may mamatay at may masira pamilya nanaman dahil sa pamilyang yun.

"Hey..."

"Uh?"

"Ano nanamang nasa isip mo, hm?" tanong niya at hinalikan ang leeg ko.

"Wala... I just... am thinking about Silas..."

"Silas? Right now? When I'm right here, Geneva?" galit niyang sabi at napansin ko rin ang pagtaas ng boses niya.

Natawa ako sa reaksyon niya. It also took me a few times to realize that he's actually jealous of Silas, he doesn't like Silas because of how close we are and how he loves to flirt right in front of me.

I also flirt with him sometimes pero joke joke lang naman yun, 'di naman seryoso.

"Hinde... iniisip ko lang yung kasal naming dalawa."

"Kasal? Nanaman? Why don't you just... stop it? 'Di mo pa nga alam kung Villanueva ba talaga yung nagpapadala nung mga gano'ng sulat sa'yo at sa kanya."

I told him everything. There was nothing to hide the moment I told him what is truly happening behind the scenes.

Ang saya nga rin niya kasi 'di ko pakakasalan si Silas dahil may nararamdaman ako para sa kanya pero para mahuli yung Villanueva.

"Silas is sure that this person is a Villanueva. He said that it might be one of the Villanuevas who used to live in Batangas."

"Bakit pa kasi ikaw? 'Di ba pwedeng iba na lang?"

"Maybe he trusts me, I trust him too. We're best of friends and he really needed my help, Dominic." nakangiti kong sabi at hinalikan ang noo niya.

"Don't worry about me, this is going to be a success."

"Yeah, sure... but... you're still going to be his wife."

Yep, by that time I'm going to Silas' wife. I'm going to be Aster Geneva D. Nakamoto for at least 2 to 3 years.

It's weird, ngayon na naisip ko kung ano ang magiging bagong legal na pangalan na wiwirduhan ako.

I'll be a Nakamoto. Wow.

"I don't like it, Geneva." sabi niya sabay halik ulet sa leeg ko.

Nabigla ako ng kinagat niya yung parte ng leeg ko na hinalikan niya, naramdaman ko rin ang dila niya at kinagat ako mula bago niya hinalikan ulet yo'n at binalik niya ang atensyon niya sa'kin pagkatapos.

"I don't like this, I don't like watching the woman I love at the altar with another man, it's..."

Napalunok ako sa sinabi niya, nababaliw na yata ako pero 'di ko inaakalang magagalit talaga si Dominic dahil ikakasal ako sa iba.
