CHAPTER 3

"Gabe, I'm scared. Oh wait 'don't make it fast!" "C'mon, Jean how can you learn if you are scared. Focus. Do not look at your feet, on the road you focus." I did what he said. "Good girl." "There. Am I doing the right thing?" I asked and turned to him for a moment behind me. He was holding the bicycle to support me. "Yes. Relax your hands." He said laughing. I was upset. "You're making fun of me, eh!" I moan. He laughed again. His laughter was contagious so I laughed too. "How can I teach a child." "Oh, tod you not to hurry! I will fall!" I shouted as the speed of my bike accelerated. When he did not answer I panicked. I looked behind me and saw that he was no longer beside me. "Jean, watch out!" I heard him shout from afar. I immediately looked in front of me. But it's too late because I will collide with a tall man. I just close my eyes in fear. I've waited for myself to fall to the ground but a few moments later that did not happen. I slightly opened my right eye and immediately the face of the man who should be hit by my bike appeared on me. "are you okay?" He worriedly asked me. Even before I could answer, someone stretched out his wide arms to me and picked me ​​up It was Gabe, with obvious concern and anger in his eyes. "Damn, is anything wrong with you?" He scans every part of my body. I just laughed at his over reacting. "Why the hell are you laughing?" "You know, you used to be over reacting there. Look, I'm fine. Thank you...hmmm,." I looked at the kind man and smiled. "Thanks for helping." "No prob. Next time be careful," he told me then looked at Gabe. "And maybe it's better not to let your sister to get hurt, especially since she doesn't know yet." I want to laugh as I see Gabe's reaction. I immediately grabbed him by his arm, knowing him, he could easily bend over especially when this man mistakenly thought that we are siblings. This is not the first time, though. "I'm not her brother. We're couple!" He answered firmly and then put his arm around me. "Oh sorry. I thought ..." "It's ok-" my handsome boyfriend cut me off immediately. "It's not ok. Now, get out of my sight before I fucking punch you." I said my thank you to that kind man. It is not good to treat anyone like that especially the person is just kind. Tss. He smiled at me before finally disappearing the scene. "You're so rude, Gabe." I told this man beside me. "What? I can't help it. He's looking at you. I dont like it," "What?" "He's flirting on you!" What? I really don't know what's on my boyfriend's mind. Sometimes I just really laugh at his childishness. "You're laughing at me, again." "You're jealousy and you're childishness .. " "Huh! Oh yeah, so what I'm jealous? Besides, am I that old enough to mistakenly look like your older brother?" "Maybe I just have a baby face." I tried to lighten up the mood. He eyed me and then he smirked. "Yes. Baby .. my only baby .." I stopped laughing. There it is, he will start again with his cheezy lines. Haha! "So I hope you get older faster. I mean, you at your legal age. You know, so I can take you home," He pulled me even closer to him. "Then.." "Then?" I challenge him. I know what was on his mind. Men. "Then.. You know .. another baby," "Ha-ha!" Despite my frown a sweet smile was hidden. "I can't wait to wake up in the morning with you on my side ..." he cope my both cheeks and kissed me tenderly. "I love you .." I opened my eyes and the white ceiling appeared to me. What was that dream for? Oh wait, where am I? I panicked sharply with the unfamiliar place. I immediately sat down on the white sofa I was lying on. "So, the princess is finally awake .." said the baritone and familiar voice. My heart pounding so fast and loud as if it was coming out of his rib cage. He was there. Perfectly leaning beside the glass door. Wearing a white polo and his both hands were on his pants pocket. His body became firmer and huge now. His hair was clean cut. Even his eyes, it is not the same way how he looked at me before. It was now dark and full of hatred. He is different from Gabin that I met before. He is now a boss, the CEO of one of the highest grossing company in the town. I averted my eyes as our eyes met. "..no need to be kissed by her prince." I swallowed because my throat was dry. Of all people? Why it should be him? Why do we need to meet again? Seven years ago and I know I have moved on but why in an instant I feel back to zero again? I hate to admit it but I am perfectly not fine right now. I need to find my things and get out of this uncomfortable place. "Where are my things? I need to get out of here." I try to stay calm and I thank all the angels, I succeeded. "Not that fast, sweetie .." Darn! Why is he doing this? What does he want to happen? Oh Jean, do not affect on him. He is no longer the Gabin you used to know. He is no longer the man you loved before. "About the contract and your money .." "Yes. What about that Ms. Gomez?" It was as if something hard had hit my chest the way he called me. Here I am, calling him on his first name on my mind for several times and he just called me on my lastname. When I did not answer, he continued, "Ms. Magtoto already told me what happened. How unprofessional, I am very disappointed to you Ms. Gomez .." "Maybe your employee also told you that I will pay for what I lost." I tried to be brave even as my heart pounded. Relax heart, relax. "Yes, and I don't like that .. I gave you 10 million in full, so I guess you need to give it back to me in full as well." He said then smirked. "I can not give in full, Mr. del Fierro. I can only pay you back if you will agree with the installment process-" "No!" he cut me off. He walked over and stood in front of the floor to ceiling glass window. Turning away from me. He is taller now, his shoulders are board and damn, he still has a sexy back. I bit my lip at the thought. Really, Jean? "I can sue you ..." my eyes widened. Oh no! "I'll give you five days, and if you can't give the full amount, start calling your lawyer." Hell, You should have been in jail 7 years ago! For raping me but I kept my mouth shut! I covered up what you did to me. I want to tell him that but it just won't come out of my mouth. He doesn't even show remorse for what he did. I just cried. There, in front of him. I could not stop crying. I was so overwhelmed with these emotions. I have also been stressed for a few days. "Why are you so heartless?" I don't know if that reached his hearing. "Why? You know what is my answer Jean .." now he turned to me again. We just stared at each other for a few seconds. But he also avoided. "But you know what .. I think there is one better idea so you won't be imprisoned." "W-what?" From looking at my eyes his gazed went down my lips, down my chest and went back to my eyes. I froze. What was that for? "A sex."
