Chapter 40 - Moving On (3) (1/2)

”I met Senior Rizal just now.” I said to him without opening my eyes.

The already cold air felt even more freezing as soon as I said those words. I shivered slightly. Pushing myself onto my knees, I opened my eyes and tried to look at him in the dim light. It was surprisingly easier to see him in the dim light than in the bright light. After realizing that weeks ago, I started a new habit to turn off my lamps almost all the time.

”That bastard...” He growled through his gritting teeth. ”What did he want?” Anger sparked from his eyes.

”Easy.” I smiled. ”He only wanted to apologize and...” I recalled what had happened and told everything to Tom.

A frown appeared on his face. ”He is sick. Did he think he could get you after what he had done?”

”Well, will you let me take him back?” I asked teasingly.

”Hell no! I won't let you get back to him! You're mine and mine alone!” Snapping his head towards me, he glared at me.

I laughed. ”Don't worry. I won't take him back even if he begs me.” I assured him. ”But, you see, it's strange how unaffected I am with how things happened. I mean, it shook me a bit, but not to the point where I thought I might lose my mind. Instead, I feel... free.”

I was looking at him while he was listening to me. Hearing the last word I spoke, I noticed his face softened as a gentle smile played on his lips.

”How I wish I could kiss you right now...” He whispered, s.e.x.u.a.l tension rose between us as he floated nearer.

I chuckled. Should I tell him how I wish the same?

”Who can stop you anyway?” I smirked.

”Right.” The gentle smile turned into a s.e.xy smirk that I loved. His eyes flashed with dangerous glint but I felt no fear.

...

I have never thought before that I would find a charming man so annoying. If the 'me' right now could travel back in time and told the 'me' back then that Senior Rizal could be really shameless, I was pretty sure it would lead to a big fight between myself.

I thought, after I told him that I had forgiven him; that I was okay with him marrying another woman; that I wish he had a good life, he would return to his wife's side and obediently became a good husband to the woman, just like how he had been a good son towards his family, obediently. It had never crossed my mind that he would stalk me.
