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

Chapter 52

Isa akong walang kuwentang ina dahil hindi ko man lang siya magawang ipagtanggol sa papa niya, sa asawa ko. Dan and I are also married through through an arrangement and it worked out. Kaya siguro ito ang dahilan kung bakit gusto niyang ipakasal ang anak namin sa nag-iisang anak ng mga Feraldo. It won't only make our empire larger but he thinks he can give our son a good life.

How many times did I told Dan to stop this, but he never listened. And it is a big wake up call to me to stop being such a good wife in following my husband's words and start being a good mother to my son the moment I saw Luke all drunk and messed up.

Dumarating ang mga balita sa akin kung ano ang nangyayari sa anak ko pero hindi ko tinangkang tignan siya dahil ang sabi ng asawa ko ay hayaan ko ang anak naming matuto. Pero nagkamali ako sa pakikinig sa kanya.

Yesterday, when my son's friends called me, I rushed to where he was. At isang malutong na sampal sa sistema ko ang makita mismo sa personal ang anak ko na ganon ang kalagayan.

My husband's cruelty left my son to his dead end. Me not doing anything to help my son is also a big factor why he ended up getting wasted everyday. And I blame us for being the sole reason for my son's misery.

I stilled when I felt my husband's arms snake around me. "What is the deep frown for, Stela?" Mahinang tanong niya. Pero sa halip na sagutin siya, kinalas ko ang mga kamay niya sa katawan ko at tinignan siya ng mariin.

It's time to stop this.

"You tell me Dan"

I held back my tears. "When will you stop hurting our son?" Humikbi ako. "I saw him yesterday. You have destoryed our son successfully Dan. Your son has changed a lot because of your cruel intentions on him. I didn't see our son, all I saw was a broken man. He became far from the Luke he used to be.." naglandas nag mga luha sa pisngi ko.

My son... sorry anak. I am very sorry son.

"This is what's best for him, for the company. He wouldn't make a living when he's with a poor girl. She would be useless. Our son is beter off with Diane. And this marriage is what he needs"

Suminghap ako para itago ang mga hagulgol ko.

Tinangka niya akong hawakan pero sinampal ko siya. "My son doesn't want this marriage! He didn't agree with it in the first place! It's us who is forcing him, Dan! Tayo ang sumisira sa anak natin dahil lang sa walang kuwentang trabaho na mas inuuna natin!"

Tinignan ko siya ng may hinanakit. "Hindi mo ba nakikita iyon? Dan tama na..." I sobbed while remembering the sad smile on my son's face, his pained eyes, and the way he muttered Zarena's name while I was cleaning him up because he got drunk.

"I don't care if the girl he loves is not from a wealthy family. I don't care! All I want is to see my son happy again! Asawa kita pero hindi kita magawagawang sumbatan habang pinapahirapan mo ang anak natin! And that makes me such a useless mother. Itigil na natin 'to, Dan" nabasag ang boses ko habang nakatingin sa asawa kong nakatitig lamang sa akin. Namumula ang pisngi niyang nasampal ko. "Zarena is a nice girl, Dan. They may not be as rich as the Feraldo's but she came from a decent family" sumbat ko sa kanya. "Our son loves Zarena so much. And no matter what we do, we cannot change that. Because he is deeply in love with her! She's the reason why he kept fighting you like the man you want him to be. Iyon naman ang gusto mong makita diba? Ang makita mo kung paano ka labanan ng anak mo? At alam kong nahirapan ka. Because you raised our son to be wise. And he is no doubt intelligent. You raised him as a brave man. But scaring the girl he loves, making her leave our son, that was out of the line, Dan. I know that you are pleased that the girl he loves managed to leave our son just so she could draw Luke and her family into safety, away from your ruthless hands. But that broke our son apart. He has changed so much since the day she left him"
