BS2: Chained by the Billionaire (On Hiatus)

Chapter 29

"Calm down, Baby," his jaw tightened.

"Don't fucking Baby me here, Ansel! Alam kong pumunta ka lang dito dahil andito 'yung ex mo!" Paratang ko. Para na akong sasabog.

"Tell me more," he demanded. Kung gaano ako naiinis ngayon ay doble ang kaseryosohan sa mga mata niya. He looks so deadly with his expressions.

"You want more?" Mabibigat ang paghinga ko. Nagpupuyos na ako sa galit. "Fuck you!"

"Ni hindi ka pa nga nakakapagpaliwanag kung bakit mo ko nagawang paglaruan tapos makikita ko na lang na tinatawagan mo si Bianca nung huling araw?!" Galit kong sumbat. "Bakit hindi mo siya puntahan ngayon?! Bakit ka andito?! Sabi pa nga niya pinuntahan mo raw siya at nagkantutan kayo! Ayoko sanang maniwala pero bakit tinawagan mo siya nun?!"

I felt exhausted. Tears started to pool in my eyes.

I saw confusion strike in Ansel's eyes. Pero nakabawi din siya agad at umigting ang panga.

"You believed her?" He looked hurt.

"How could I not?! You were calling her! And she called you last time! Botong boto pa sa kanya ang Mommy mo!"

"Whatever she said, it's not true," malamig niyang sagot. "And I never called her. I don't know why you would say that."

I backed away. Ansel took a deep breath. "Not once did I ever had sex with Bianca. I swear on my life, Iana. Kahit nung naging kami noon, hindi ko siya ginalaw. I told you before, right? I love her as a sister, not romantically. For fuck's sake, I can't even have sex with her with the thought lingering in my mind that she's a younger sister! It feels like a damn incest."

Tears pooled in my eyes. Ansel attempted to console me but I slapped his hand away. He looked wounded by that.

"How could I be sure that you're not lying?!"

"Because I have been long damned in my love for you!" He bursted out.

"Tangina," he whispered. "I fucking love you more than my life! More than anything! I can't even affort to touch other women! Papaano pa kaya ang lokohin ka?! Goddammit!" Mabibigat na paghinga ang pinakawalan niya.

Dumagundong ang puso ko. Ang bilis ng takbo ng puso ko. Written on his face is pure misery. Looking at him feels like he is emotionally bleeding. He looks so injured. It's a painful sight.

"Tell me, Iana.." his defenseless eyes looked at me weakly. "How could I even attempt to fuck around other women when every cell in my whole body is screaming your name?"

I gaped when he fell on his knees. "All of me is your property... Even I can't change that."

Tumulo ang mga luha kong buong araw kong pinipigilan. Humikbi ako at umiling.

"Kung ganoon. Kung mahal mo 'ko, bakit hindi mo masagot sagot ang mga tanong ko sa'yo?" I cried. "Nagkasala ang Dad mo at Mommy ko kay Tita Andria. Pero bakit si Mommy lang ang napaparusahan?! Bakit kailangang ako ang magbayad sa kasalanang ginawa niya? Why did you have to involve me?! Or use me just so you could avenge for what she did to your Mom?!"

I swallowed the lump in my throat. "Why did you look guilty the last time I asked you?! Why did you look taken aback?! Why couldn't you answer immediately?! Nagulat ka ba dahil nalaman ko ang mga plano mo?!"

"Bakit kailangang hingin mo akong pambayad sa utang ng pamilya ko sa'yo? Is that what I am to you? A play thing? Someone you could just demand because you are fully aware that my family cannot pay their debts to you so you took that opportunity to toy with me?!" I didn't hold back anymore.

Umawang ang labi ni Ansel.

Huminga ako ng malalim at pinalis ang mga pesteng luha ko. Ang saya siguro niyang makita akong nasasaktan. But I can't see it in his face. Rather, it's the opposite.
