DROWNING DESTINY

Chapter 47

"Because I want you to know that I am not giving you the blessing of being with my son," Mrs. Alvarez said fearlessly.

She was never in this hot seat all her life. No one have ever told her that she wasn't supposed to be with someone she started to like spending the days of her life with. From the very beginning, she knew her journey and future with Naizen. If only thiese words has been told to her, she would maybe just smirk to it and shrug her shoulder.

However, time has flies and even she would deny it to the fullest, those words are kind off knives that are stabbing inside her. Mrs. Alvarez is no other people, she was the most important woman in Naizen's life, she was her mother and being told by the mother of the man you wished to be with that you are not the kind of a person she would love to have his son with, that is another level of pain and she's feeling it at the moment.

Right in front of Mrs. Alvarez.

Although she knew that everything about her and Naizen would just end up and that they are really not meant for each other. Although she knew herself that she will be leaving Naizen's premises, she still couldn't deny that the pain she was feeling was ridiculously inevitable. She still sitting her back straight, head high and not even moving an inch for she don't want to make the old madam think that she was weak and that anybody could just tremble her wherever they want.

"Madam Alvarez, I am not in the right place to retaliates your words against me. But I will tell you this for I just want to let you know about this, you don't have to tell it to my face that you don't like me, that you like someone like Ellen and Leticia for your son. However, I am the kind that your son wants to be with," she answered fearlessly and seriously.

She saw how Naizen's mom sharpened her eyes while looking directly unto her eyes. She caught how the old woman took a deep breath and gritted her teeth. She saw how Mrs. Alvarez tightened her grip with the cup of coffee she was holding.

"Amazing…,"Mrs. Alvarez said and sounded so sarcastic. The old woman was nodding her head when finally she got all the meaning of every between the kines of the words she chose to tell. Of the strength she chose to show.

Up until now, she do not know what kind of transactions Naizen's family have in their businesses, all she knew, they were like rich rich. They are powerful that they were able to solve Ellen's problem with her own family.

"I am really sorry, ma'am," she uttered after sipping a sip on her coffee. "But if the reason of all those words is to tell me that I have to leave Naizen alone for I am not the right person for him, I would really ask your forgiveness for I will never leave Naizen alone," she said and gave the old woman a smile.

"Feisty, you are feisty. You are bold and obviously strong but come to think of it, Yvonne. You and your life, family background, do you think you do really fit to be in my son's life? I was never been this harsh to people. Especially those people that I know are not taking advantage with other people that gave them the trust," Madam Alvarez responded.

Yvonne was just trying hard to contain herself for she don't make a fuss in her. Well, she was an expert of controlling her own emotions that she can even deceive herself to the things she once desired to have.

"I won't go far by contradicting your words against me ma'am. You actually have nothing to worry about me. I will never forget your words and will always have them in my mind. When time comes that Naizen would turn his back at me by himself, I will never go to run after him, that, I can promise you that. However, if Naizen won't want me to go and want me to stay by his side, I assure you, you will never get the peace in life for you will still keep on seeing me elsewhere."

Mrs. Alvarez slammed the table in anger but she didn't even flinched. From her peripheral view, she could tell that the other customers in this cafe are looking at them. She chose to never lift her head up and face the old woman and still sticking her eyes with the coffee remaining in her cup.

"How dare you! How dare you to have the guts of making a negotiation with me about my son?! Hou dare you fearlessly telling me that?! Aren't you even worried that there is a hundred percent of chance that I would tell Naizen about your behavior?" Mrs. Alvarez responded in anger while slowly sitting back down to the chair for she stood up when she slammed her own hand on the table.

"Mrs. Alvarez, I am sorry for bursting your bubble but I am the kind of the woman that you think I am. You can insult me all you want. You can tell me I was nobody, that I was no one, I am not even worthy and that I don't deserve your son," she said and stood up for she don't think there are still things that they need to talk about.

"I am glad that…. "

But Yvonne interrupted the old woman for she need to get out of here. Philamie was expecting her to see her and they will be going to the other branch of Philamies and she has to see Naizen for when she left at home, he was sleeping soundly.

"But, I am also not the kind of the person that you can tell me what I should do. I have my own principle that I will always stand on my own. I know this will not be the last chance of us meeting each other, I know from the first time that you laid your eyes on me, I know that you don't like me and that you will never like me."

As she turned her back at Naizen's mom, her tear drops all of a sudden flows down from her eyes. She was holding it too hard and now she can no longer hold it for her heart heaved like hell. She didn't expect to happen this day, she didn't know there would be a chance of bumping Naizen's parents outside but it really did happened.

She gulped as she wiped to dry her tears on her face, she went back inside the grocery store to finish all the things that she needs to do. She stopped when her phone rang, she smiled bitterly upon seeing Naizen's name in the caller ID. She waived at the staff assigned in the baggage counter where she left her cart to follow the old woman Alvarez.

"Hi, you're awake now?" She said the moment she answered the call of Naizen,she smiled to at least help herself and never sound like crying.

("Where are you?") Naizen asked from the other line.

"I am at the grocery, I will be back soon, go downstairs and I have already prepared the breakfast for you," she said while taking all the items she have in her cart at the cashier's table. She is going to be paying all of these for she have already booked a taxi to ride on her way home plus she couldn't think of a thing if she still is lacking.

("What? Why didn't you just waited for me to wake up or at least wake me up? Stay stil in there, give me 10 minutes.")

Before she was even could have the chance of answering and to tell Naizen that she don't need him here for she is going to be home in less than an hour, the call ended just like that. She then rushed to pay all the goods that she bought and immediately pushed the cart with the boxes of her goods are there.

She know that Naizen really is coming and that is why she immediately and rushed to push the cart to where the cars parked their cars.

Before she was able to get out of the place, she spotted Naizen's mom entered her car and leave first. She gulped and sighed eventually. Who would've thought that she will he called someone who are just taking the advantage of those who seems to be the weaker.

Yvonne sharpened her eyes in seriousness for she still couldn't believe that time will come that other people would tell her those things. Her plan in life was never forgotten and will never be forgotten and that is why no one has to tell her about leaving Naizen alone for she know herself that time will really come that she will leave him for he don't deserve someone like her. It's just that, they don't need to tell her that and supposed to never let them tell the words.

She was just staying at the side while waiting Naizen's car to show up and cancelled the taxi that she booked. In just a couple of minutes, she then spotted Naizen's car entered the pick-up area of the place and honked all over her.

"You could've wake me up or wait for me to wake up," Naizen said the moment he went out from the driver's seat and get close to her.

"You were sleeping so soundly and I am not heartless to wake you up when I know you just got sleep,' she responded and entered inside the shotgun seat after Naizen put all the boxes of the goods inside the trank of his car.

"Have you eaten before you came here?" Naizen asked her in a very worried tone.

She nodded, " I did, how about you? Have you eaten before you came here? You should have eat first," she said directly while Naizen was busy and focusing his attention on the road.

"I am at home while you are not, how can I peacefully eat when I know the fact that you don't have a car to ride on your way home?" Naizen responded and that made her looked at the man who didn't even tried and bothered herself to look at her.

"I have already booked a taxi…."

She wasn't able to finish her defense when Naizen interrupted her. "Booked a taxi? Babe, I was just there at home, you could've just told me to drive for you. You are riding a taxi almost everyday when I am not around. Do you think I was never worried when I think of like you are riding a taxi again? That bothered the hell out of me for I couldn't help of thinking about you. Now that I am here, everytime that I was just around, don't ever think of riding other people's car a-side from mine to keep me sane."

What thing does she and Naizen have? She do not know what, she do not know what. She don't want to ask Naizen about the real score that the two of them have not because she was afraid but because she knew everything about this will end up in no time. She stared at the very serious Naizen.

*"You have nothing to worry about my existence in your son's life, Mrs. Alvarez, because one day, you will get so surprised that I was the one who made a reason for Naizen to despise me in his life, for now, just let me live in the moment that I never expected to happen my whole life. Because for sure, this will be the first and last time that "* she think of herself while not taking her eyes off of Naizen.

"Stop staring at me, I am driving and I don't want to get a car crash especially that you are on board. Don't look at me like that, I can't stay mad at you," Naizen said and that she raised her brow for she didn't expect to hear such kinky words from a certain Naizen Alvarez.

The man whom his mother was talking about like have a bunch of girls around him. This person made her feel like she wasn't the same person way back in Herria. She was never like this, she never felt anything to other people before despite of the fact that she grew up with men around her.

But now, it would be crazy if she would have to keep denying the fact that she really did fell in love to this man before her. And thinking the words his mom has thrown to her, pain was like cause by a dagger that was been forced to get intact in her chest with all the strength.

"Thank you," she uttered while still looking at Naizen. Her voice was soft and low, she almost whispered but Naizen being attentive to her, she was heard.

"Don't ever think of getting away from me when I am beside you without telling me. From now on, wether I am awake or even sleeping, wake me up if you have plans of leaving or even in your ordinary day of going to work," Naizen said and looked at Yvonne before he stopped the car and get out of there to open the gate of his house.

Yvonne followed Naizen's move and saw that he was kind off tired yet he still fetched her at the grocery store. She was glad that she went there alone for she would never like to got seen by his mother with her. She don't want to tell a word to his mother that would surely hurt him for she was certain that the mother was always the top list important person in everyone's lives.

She then rushed to transfer to the driver's seat and started the engine when Naizen finally widened open the gate. She saw how surprised Naizen's eyes can be after she honked the horn and drove the car inside the gate and parked it good.

She couldn't help but chuckle when she saw how her guy gasped after she recklessly drifted his car. She opened the door to face the very surprised Naizen who are just looking at her with disbelief.

"Please close your mouth, that was just a little thing," she said.

She was about to turn her back at him but Naizen was fast enough to cage his arms around her.

"I know that the thing was just a little, to those who are monsters for cars and I didn't know you are one. Do you even realize how hot you could be! You should have called me and get inside the shotgun to witness your cleverness."
