CHAPTER 68
I can feel the creep in me. I feel like I am seeing a different person. I know that what happened today will be Ronald’s greatest nightmares. I know. Because the only family he has is his father. Losing a family is not easy. That’s why I can’t blame him. I can’t blame his to hate our kind. I don’t hate him for seeking a revenge. I completely understand him.
I just watched him signed the documents and other things that he needs to do for his father’s funeral. His face was blank. As if I am saying an emotionless face from him. It makes me wonder if the Ronald Madrigal I know before will still come back? It makes me scared. I feel like I am slowly losing him. I am losing him.
I stood up when I noticed that he’s finished. He glanced at me and smiled a bit. It wasn’t the smile he used to give whenever he was looking at me. It was different. He was different.
“Let’s go home,&rd
CHAPTER 69Alqamar explains to us what happened. We found out that Lexis’ family was used as hostage so that Alqamar would agree to their preposition. I don’t know what’s gotten into them why they challenged Alqamar in a duel when we know that they can’t win with Alqamar. I don’t know what they are thinking.“Are they stupid? Why would they challenged Alqamar when they know they’ll lose in the end?” Rael shook his head; he also knows how ridiculous the idea was.“Carlos is planning something…” Gray mumbled. We all looked at him. I am also thinking the same way but…why would Gray think that Carlos is the only one who’s planning something? Herman may be also planning evil against us.“What do you mean?” Fin asked. Alqamar was just silent, maybe listening to us. He fell silent after he finished explaining to us what happened with the Castillo’s hou
CHAPTER 70That was my last visit to see Ronald. I didn’t go with the funeral again. I told myself that it was enough. I can’t see him anymore. I can’t let myself get selfish once again. I can’t hope once again. Everything is done between us. Watching him leaning with other girl made realize so many things.That I am not the girl for him. I am not the suited for him. He is beyond my reach. I can’t even reach him. I was just lucky because I was able to taste his lips, his warmth and touch but I cannot grasp him, I cannot hold him no matter how much I try.Instead of thinking about Ronald, I just focus myself with our plan in an upcoming duel of Alqamar and Herman. I don’t know what Carlos is thinking. But I know he’s thinking something big. He’s thinking something else, and I am sure that it’ll never be good for us.For days I was trying to trace Herman and Carlos scents with Fin and Rael.
CHAPTER 71We rushed Chairman Lim to the hospital. Hendrick was so worried while we watched the nurse send Chairman Lim inside the emergency room. Hendrick sat down on the waiting area and held his head like he’s carrying the whole world in both of his shoulders.He looks devastated. He looks weary. I sighed and sat down two seats apart from him. I breathed heavily. Hendrick is a good son. I saw how he cared for his father, I witnessed that for two years that I’ve been working for them. He’s a good person but I know and understand that he wants something else for his life.I know how it feels to want something, yet you couldn’t reach it. I know how it feels desire something, but you can’t have it. It was painful yet you can’t do anything but to take it all in.“Are you okay?” I asked and glanced at him. He was staring down the floor, he looks in deep thoughts. He sighed heavily and closed his e
CHAPTER 72I was so stunned. I almost couldn’t believe it. Am I hallucinating? Ronald is here standing in front of me! My heart pounded so hard inside my chest. I feel like if I’ll look at myself on the mirror, I am surely looking so pale.“I am the assigned Doctor for Mr. Rodolf Lim. I am Ronald Madrigal,” Ronald introduced himself. My lips parted when our eyes met. My feet are nailed down on the ground. I feel like my blood stops circulating down my body because of his presence. It was so heavy.I swallowed hard when his eyes traced my arms and stopped with my hands holding by Sir Hendrick. My heartbeat run faster and immediately pushed Sir Hendrick away. I stood properly and tried so hard to calm myself down.“It’s nice to meet you Dr. Madrigal,” Sir Hendrick extended his arms to shake hands, but Ronald just stared at his hands. I thought he’ll not going to take it, but he still did, j
CHAPTER 73 “What’s with your ugly face?” Rael asked obviously mocking me. I rolled my eyes as I walked inside the house. “Don’t talk to me Rael,” I said not in the mood. He chuckled and followed me until the stairs. “Alqamar went out to check on Lexis, Gray is with his girl, Fin is still doing the same,” Rael reported. I sighed and stopped walking. I faced him and crossed my arms. “Do you need something Rael?” I asked. I know this. I know what he’s up to. He shrugged and smiled. I just hit the right word. “I will have a party tonight. Can…I?” he asked. I rolled my eyes. This dumbass man really messing up this mansion. “What do you think about this mansion? A freaking bar?” I asked with my sarcastic tone. “You know I can’t go to bars, Cristine!” he countered. “Of course! You can’t! The last time you went to a bar you broke hundred of bottles of liquor when you got drunk!” I spat. He smiled awkwardly.
CHAPTER 74I couldn’t move my feet as soon as our eyes met. I feel like I was pinned down the floor. My heart is beating so fast. I know I was searching for him earlier, but I didn’t know that I wasn’t ready to face him like this!Damn! It’s that old man’s fault!“I-I’m…sorry…” I said nervously and tried so hard to get up. I bit my lower lip as I stood up in front of him. I feel so little in front of him. His eyes were staring at me intently. I can feel the sweat on my forehead as I feel so embarrassed in front of him. He seems different now. His looks changed and even how he stares at me.He looks colder. He looks arrogant and I feel like he’s not the nerd I used to know. Everything changed about him. I feel like I doesn’t know him anymore. No…even before…I still don’t know him.My eyes stay on the ground while I am waiting for him to speak.
CHAPTER 75I cannot swallow properly because of the intense feeling he’s making me feel. I know that this day will eventually happen, but I didn’t know that I’d be feel so scared while facing the truth.He’s so close to me. His minty and warm breath is tickling my nose. His eyes are staring deeply into me. I feel so exposed in front of him. I feel like he knows my deepest secret. My deepest desire and lies. This thought made me anxious.Silence filled in the air after his whispers. I couldn’t find words to counter all his words. I am pinned down to the hospital bed, unable to move or even speak a word.“Dr. Madrigal?” My eyes widened when I heard Sir Hendrick voice through the door. I quickly pushed Ronald away and looked at Hendrick who’s confused for what he saw. Damn it! I am so panicking so hard, but Ronald remained calm and collected.“You’re checking up Cristine?”
CHAPTER 76I didn’t know that mate thing is like this. I didn’t know that if we are bonded there’s a risk behind it. I don’t know if I’ll be happy because of the information or not. Of course, I am not! It only means that if I will see Ronald love someone else, I’ll be hurting! Physically and mentally!Those thoughts didn’t leave my mind until I arrived in the hospital. Looking at the hospital, I suddenly felt nervous knowing that I’ll see Ronald once again. His words from last night echoed inside my mind again. Damn! Why am I always chickening out when it comes to him? He’s always unaffected when it comes to me and it’s so unfair!I didn’t know that this is how huge the risk that Alqamar is facing right now. Lexis thought that he died. Lexis has a possibility to love someone else and for Alqamar it’ll be his death.Being mated to a human is risky. It’s far better
