HIS HEARTLESS WIFE

Chapter 10

"Stop it, Chevelle. Hindi na magbabago ang desisyon ko."

"Then, I am not changing my decision either. Hindi na puwedeng umapak sa kompanya ko si Audrey. Am I clear?"

"Wala kang karapatan to restrict her from coming over here. I also own this company."

"Yes, you do—forty-five percent," pagpapaalala ko sakaniya." I am a major stockholder. I can pull out my shares anytime, and that leaves you with nothing! Control her dahil sa susunod na manggulo siya. Papatulan ko na ang kabit mo, Blaze. I have given you what you want. Please give me my freedom."

"I am working on it," turan nito.

"You are working on it for how many months now?" Tanong ko sakaniya.

"Elle, pupunta ka ba sa dinner mamaya?" Pag-iiba nito sa usapan matapos ay nilapitan ako."Maayos ka ba?"

"I'm fine. Hindi ako pupunta sa dinner mamaya."

"Magtatampo si Mommy kapag hindi ka pumunta."

"I'll call mom. Can you stop trying to be nice to me dahil kanina lang sinisigawsigawan mo ako. Tend to your girlfriend. I don't need you in my office. Please, stop sending me flowers hindi pa ako patay para pag-alayan mo ng mga bulaklak."

Then, I grabbed my purse and tried to walk passed him but he blocked me. "Get out of my way," inis na anas ko.

"Chevelle, don't be unreasonable," wika nito.

"Me? Unreasonable? Dahil sa lintik na bulaklak na 'yan nagseselos ang nobya mo. Wala akong pakialam sa kung anuman ang hindi ninyo pinagkakaunawaan. Let me make it clear. Hindi ako nang-agaw so tell her to stop rubbing it on my face na kala mo, I am the bad person here."

"Then tell me what happened?"

"I don't need to explain. Hindi mo rin naman ako pakikinggan dahil isang patak lang ng luha ni Audrey natataranta ka na."

"Chevelle, stop nagging."

"Oh, ngayon nagger na rin ako? You know what? Sana hindi mo na lang ako pinauwi rito kung ganito rin lang ang mangyayari. Malinaw ang usapan natin Blaze. Ayoko ni katiting o anumang kaugnayan patungkol sa inyo ng nobya mo.Ibinigay ko na ang hiling mo. Pakiusap palayain mo na rin ako. Ibinigay ko na ang kalayaan mo. Pasalamat ka I will not file the divorce on grounds of a******y. You know I can do that, right? However, I choose not to. I need the signed document today. Pakibigay na lang sa sekretarya ko. I'm leaving."

I walked away from him. Akala ko ay susundan niya ako but he let me leave. I hailed a cab to my penthouse. Matapos ay tinawagan ko si Graciella. She promised to stay with me tonight. I needed someone to talk to.

'Bakit iba ang tinitibok ng puso ko sa sinabi ng isip ko pati na rin ang reaksyon ng katawan ko kapag naririyan si Blaze. I have to move on and forget the feelings I have for him.'

Kapag tinititigan niya ako parang nawawala lahat ng binabalak kong paghihiganti. Pakiramdam ko hindi tama na pahirapan siya. Biktima rin si Blaze ni Audrey katulad ko. However, he need to realize he sided with the demon.

I called Mommy Bianca to cancel the dinner tonight.I lied about having an urgent meeting with a client. I also tried calling Lionel but he wasn't picking up.

Moments later I found myself drowning myself in several bottle of wines. Luckily, it's the weekend hindi ko kailangan pumasok sa opisina. It's been a while since the last time I got wasted. The last I got so drunk was the night I got my doctorate degree in Pharmacology. I was expecting Blaze to be there pero hindi siya dumating. Mom and Dad was there subalit umalis rin sila agad matapos ang seremonya.

After a few more drinks, nakaramdam ako ng gutom. Graciella was supposed to be cooking tonight. Pagtingin ko sa orasan alas otso na pala ng gabi. I have been drinking myself out for more than half a day.

When I looked at my cellphone. I had too may missed calls and text messages from Graciella.

'Great! Just great! I will be alone tonight.'

Naibalibag ko ang cellphone ko when Graciella cancelled our date night. Something came up and she couldn't come.

I was cleaning up the mess I made at nilagay ang kopita sa kitchen sink when the the doorbell rung. I walked to the door only to see Blaze instead of my secretary.

"I come by to drop this off," anito na hawak-hawak ang kahon ng mga dokumento.

"Thanks, you may leave."

"Let me in, Elle."

"No! I don't need you here!" Tulak ko sakaniya. But he insisted to stay.

"What the heck are you doing?" Tanong nito sa akin matapos makita ang mga bote na ng alak na nakakalat pa sa sahig.

"Wala kang pakialam!"

"May pakialam ako. Asawa pa rin kita."

"Asawa sa papel. Umalis ka na. I don't need you here."

I grabbed the box. Inilagay ko iyon sa sofa matapos ay tinulak ko siyang muli palabas ng pintuan. I was already tipsy. As I was pushing him away. I tripped into the door mat. Saktong nasalo ng kanang braso ni Blake ang aking mga balikat bago tumama sa sahig ang aking ulo.

"You seemed to be comfortable holding my--"

Namilog ang aking mga mata when I realized hindi pala mga kamay niya ang nahawakan ko for support. Hiyang-hiya akong tinanggal ang aking kamay na mahigpit nakakapit sa kaniyang sandata.

"You can have me if you want, Elle," anito.

"Never!" I screamed pushing him away but he held me into a tight embrace.

"I missed you, Baby. Don't do this to me."

"Pinaglalaruan mo ba ako?"

"No!"

"Then, why did you asked me for divorce kung ganyan ang inaasta mo ngayon? Paano si Audrey? Mamangka sa dalawang ilog? Pagsasabayin mo kami?"

"Elle, please. I need you."

"You need my body because you lust and desire to be inside me. No, Blaze! You don't need me. Don't fool yourself dahil hindi ako ang mahal mo. Hindi rin ako ang pinili mo. Bakit? Nagbago na ang ihip ng hangin. Natauhan ka na ba, Blaze?"

Hindi niya ako sinagot bagkus ay siniil niya ako ng marubdob at mapanghanap na mga halik. Mainit iyon at nakakadala. Ang mga kamay niya ay unti-unting naglakbay sa aking katawan.

I should be pulling away from that sensual passionate heated kiss. But, I didn't. I should be pushing him away from his playful desire and lustful kisses. Pero hindi ko magawa. Instead, I kissed him back.

I kissed him with so much love and passion. Those intimate kisses I yearned for him to have. Mga halik na nais kong ipadama sa kaniya kung gaano ko siya kamahal.

A soft moan escaped my throat habang ang mga kamay niya ay naglipana sa aking katawan. I longed for him to touch me dahil mahal niya ako not because of his lecherousness.

Saglit akong nadala sa mapangakit na mga halik niya. Hinayaan kong tangayin ako ng kaniyang pananabik na maangkin ko.

Nakakadarang ang bawat galaw ng kaniyang mga labi.Hanggang sa 'di ko na namalayang hinayaan ko na siyang dalhin ako sa kaluwalhatian subalit bago ko pa man maisuko ang hindi dapat natauhan ako sa nagaganap.

I wanted to slap myself a hundred times para magising ako sa aking kahibangan. I can't believe I was begging him to take me. I sounded so desperate.

"I like to kiss you all night long, Baby," halinghing niya malapit sa aking taingga while he was planting tiny open kisses on my neck to my shoulders.

Ramdam ko ang paghaplos ng kaniyang mga kamay sa aking katawan. His touch send shiver down my spine and a tingling sensation on my crotch that I can't explain. Napaigtad ako when his kisses descended down to my cleavage close to my globes.

'Chevelle, magplay hard to get ka naman!'
