Stanley looked at the jewelry on her body, then looked at her small, icy face and frowned, "How
long are you planning to fight a cold war with me?"
"I dont know!" Shantelle was so angry that she was about to explode.
Kinuhang muli ni Stanley ang kamay ni Shantelle, pinagsalikop niya ang mga palad nilang dalawa.
Gustong bawiin ni Shantelle ang kamay, ngunit mahipit itong hinawakan ni Stanley.
Dahan-dahang umandar ang sasakyan, binaling ni Shantelle ang tingin sa labas ng bintana. Ni ayaw niya tumingin man lang kay Stanley dahil sa inis niya rito.
But she couldn't calm down no matter how hard she
tried.The man's palm was extremely hot, as it was going to burn of her hand, causing her to tremble even more.
Thinking about all this, which originally belonged to Ashley, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Ang pangarap na lalaki ni Ashley na maging asawa ay napunta sa kanya. Dati noong bata pa sila, kakaibang saya ang nararamdaman niya sa tuwing naaagawan niya ng laruan si Ashley. Pero sa pagkakataong ito hindi siya masaya na naagaw niya ang magiging asawa sana ng pinsan.
The man answered a phone call and interrupted Shantelle's thoughts with a low and deep voice.
Ilang sandali lang huminto ang sasakayan, napatingin si Shantelle sa labas ng bintana ng kotse. Napakunot ang noo niya nang makitang huminto sila sa isang private club meeting place.
"Bumaba ka na," utos ni Stanley. Stanley kept feeling that this woman was absent-minded when she was with him. This feeling made Stanley extremely
unhappy.
"Bakit mo ako dinala rito?" nakakunot noong tanong ni Shantelle. Nakaramdam ng kaunting takot si Shantelle. Simula bata siya hindi pa siya nakapasok sa ganitong lugar.
"What are you afraid of? It's not like I'm going to eat you!" Stanley couldn't help but smile when he felt her nervousness.
Hindi na nakaimik si Shantelle, hinawakan nito ang kamay niya at hinila siya para bumaba.
The elevator went all the way to the third floor. From inside an open door came a loud DJ sound.
Stanley let go of her small hand, turned into a slender waist, and forcefully took her inside.
When the two of them entered the door, the DJ stopped and everyone looked towards Stanley.
Only then did Shantelle realize that the people inside were all young men and women who were
sizing her up with curious gazes.
"Young Master Hao, congratulations the bride is so beautiful," bati ng isang lalaki kay Stanley.
"Only Young Master Hao would dare to change a bride at his wedding," pahabol na wika ng lalaki.
Napangiti si Stanley at sinabi, "Alright, stop teasing me. Have fun!" Pagkatapos sabihin iyon hinila siya sa sofa para maupo.
"Young Master Hao, you left in a hurry at the wedding today, so I didn't have the time to toast you
and the bride. Its not too late to toast now, right?" A man took the lead, and everyone ran over to
toast Stanley.
Kumuha si Stanley ng dalawang glass wine at iniabot kay Shantelle ang isa. Tiningnan niya si Shantelle para paalalahanan na sumunod sa kanya sa pamamagitan ng mga mata.
Wala nang nagawa pa si Shantelle kinuha niya ang wine.
"Drink it!" utos ni Shanley sa kanya.
"Hindi ako marunong uminom," bulong niya.
"This is our wedding night, remember?"
Shantelle had no choice but to pick up her wine cup and drink a mouthful of wine after making contact with those people.
However, this was not the end. Another group of people came over to toast him. Shantelle didn't wait for Stanley's reminder as she continued to drink her cup.
Naisipan niyang magpakalunod sa alak para makalimutan sandali ang mga nangyari sa buhay niya. Nakailang baso siya ng alak nang makaramdam na siya ng pagkahilo.
"Stop drinking!" Nang akma na niya inumin ang pang anim na baso ng wine, a big hand reached over and
grabbed her cup.
"I want more!" agad inagaw ni Shantelle ang baso na may lamang wine kay Stanley.
"Enough! Lasing ka na, sino ba may sabi sa iyong magpakalasing ka?" Ang mga taong nakipag-toast ay agad na umalis nang marinig ang galit na tinig ni Stanley.
"Give me the cup, Stanley. Didn't you want me to drink? I want to drink now..." Shantelle mumbled
drunkenly.
Stanley just looked at her gloomily and refused to give her any more wine.
"Stanley, ibigay mo sa akin iyan...Gusto ko lang mawala ang sakit na nararamdaman ko...please!"
"Shutup!" Stanley reprimanded her in a low voice. Marrying him actually made her feel pain. Hindi ito matanggap ni Stanley.
"Stanley, you bastard." Shantelle didn't know whether it was on purpose or from the bottom of
her heart.
Agad dumilim ang gwapong mukha ni Stanley ng marinig ang sinabi ni Shantelle. Inilagay niya ang kamay ni Shantelle sa leeg niya at binuhat ito.
"I'll be back in a while!" Stanley said a few words to his friends, then walked out with heavy steps.
As soon as they left the room, Shantelle reached out and grabbed one of his arms to hug him.
Stanley looked at her childish look and his thin lips curled up.
Agad ipinasok ni Stanley sa bakanteng kwarto na para sa mga VIP guest si Shantelle at inilapag sa kama. Napangiti siya nang makita ang napakagandang mukha ni Shantelle.
Afterwards, her tender and pink lips softly muttered a name. "David...Hug me tight...nilalamig ako...David."
The smile on the man's face froze for a moment. He lowered his gaze gloomily as he stared at
the trembling woman.
Ibang lalaki ang nasa isip niya?
Napatayo si Stanley, napasipa siya sa hangin sa inis nang marinig ang sinisabi ni Shantelle.
"David...Please huwag mo akong iwan," muling sambit ni Shantelle habang nakapikit ang kanyang mga mata.
Lumapit si Stanley at naupo sa kama, naglakas-loob talaga siyang bumanggit ng pangalan ng ibang lalaki sa harapan niya?
"David." However, Shantelle, who was already so drunk that her eyes were blurry, couldn't even tell who the face in front of her was.
She only felt that there was only one person in this world that could embrace her so tenderly.
Sa inis ni Stanley hinila niya ang kamay ni Shantelle at sinabi, "Tell me, who is David? What position does he occupy in your heart? Better than me, your husband... Is it important?" The man was suddenly like a dangerous lion.
Tila nagising si Shantelle sa malalim na panaginip. "Sinong David? Hindi ko alam ang sinasabi mo."
"Really? Hindi mo alam? Kanina ka pa nga David ng David tapos sasabihin mong hindi mo alam?" Stanley didn't expect her to still have the courage to act dumb. He raised his cold eyes and stared at
her big, flickering eyes and said again, "Do you
want to say it yourself, or do l send someone to investigate? I will deal with these two results
differently."
"Hindi ko nga alam ang sinasabi mo." Natatakot na si Shantelle baka malaman nito kung sino si David sa buhay niya.
"Kapag nalaman kong may relasyon ka sa lalaking iyon, I'll kill him!" Stanley's words were cold and full of threat.
Lalong natakot si Shantelle sa banta ni Stanley, She said furiously, "Don't, please don't be so violent, okay? I'll just say it!"
