The Runaway Bride

Chapter 13

It is really him, until now I still can't believed that he's here we remain hugging ourselves.

"I can't stay here long enough here and for sure felix will look for me and especially with I'm with bettu who is a minor" I said.

"Do you not want to be with me?" Reagan asked.

I need to know what I am to him and Addison in his life maybe we'll see each other tomorrow and bring those pictures to him.

I didn't answer him my phone abruptly ring felix named registered on the screen.

"H-Hello?"

Astrid please talked properly!

"Where are you? Betty is with your driver now and you were not with them" he said.

Oh s**t! I forget that we have a driver and he get the diver's phone number before we leave.

"I was looking for him, I didn't get to the driver right away because I was amazed at the place here and betty lost my mind. I'll g-go now"  I explained.

"Are you saying the truth? your voice sounds nervous?" the way he asked me seems like he knows when I'm lying and when is not.

"There's someonw behind me that is why I need to be carefull"

I'm actually good at giving reason but knowing Felix he is not a gullible.

"Walk faster astrid!" His voice makes me startled.

"I'll hang this up now felix" I said.

Without thinking twice I press the red button to end our conversation.

"I'll take you there" he said and take my right hand.

"No! If they will see us together they will tell it felix" I try to convinced him.

"They will never know me astrid" reagan said.

"Please understand me reagan we'll see us tomorrow and try to disguise I'm not allowed to go out alone"

"... and maybe there is something on this phone that make felix caught us talking" I said.

He hands me his cellphone.

"Used this, hide this phone anywhere we can use this to communicate to each other" he said.

I nodded.

I left him there I wanted to be with him but I couldn't felix might be even more angry and he could do terrible things.

"Ms. Astrid!" Betty shouted.

"I'm sorry I forget that you were at the shop I still look for you all over the place" I said.

"Its okay let's go home now Ms, felix might be angry" she worriedly said.

"Let's go now"

It is near dusk I badly like to see the sun goes down but I'm sure I can't overtake it anymore. After I change my outfit into what I used earlier we go on our way home now I hide the phone inside my dress, I'm using a whole dress and inside my dress I am using a small short with a pocket.

"We'll be going out again tomorrow betty" I said to her.

"Will sir felix allow us to go again?" She asked.

I don't know if he allowed but I will do my best to make it possible. I can't imagine my life would be if it is not felix who kidn*pped me.

"Are you okay?" Felix immediately hold some of my body to check if my I'm okay.

"Relax! Felix I'm okay"

"I will not allow you to go outside again" he directly said.

"Felix! Please don't do this to me there are many more places on my checklist that I have not yet cleared, please!"

"I'm going to the US tomorrow so betty will be with you"

Although his face look so serious I can't help but to be happy felix is kind when he is calm down so I should not waste his patience with me and if that's happen my plan will be ruin.

I'll stick to my plan even I already reunited to reagan I can't just trust people nowadays even if you love that person. I'm alone inside the room felix flight will be at 10 pm and time check its already 9:55 pm.

"Hide it properly" I whispered.

The door opens and felix get inside.

"I'll go now stay here okay?" He said and kissed my forehead.

The door closed again and feeling like i couldn't breathe the moment felix kissed me on the forehead.

I immediately took the brown enveloped to put in the bag I was going to use tomorrow I wanted to show it to Reagan to find out the truth even though it hurts me to know that I choose that though.

When I get the phone that reagan gave to me there's a lot of messages there including my message in my old numbe.

Baby Elysse

Babe please do something for us to locate you.

Babe where are you? I'm worried.

Elysse I can't sleep knowing you're not in the philipines.

What did that f*****g bastard do to you!!

And many more there's also a message from bella and some of his business partners.

Is this his own cellphone?... I also examined some of the photos on his gallery and my eyes caught the attention of my picture tha is taken here.

Looking at the photos seems like I more happier than I'm in coron and felix took it in a selfie way where he also join the picture.

"Oh my ghad! He's already here? When we go out for the first time?" I asked the wind.

Unknown number register the phone and I direcrly answered it maybe it is important.

"Hello?" 

"Its me reagan" he quickly said.

Then I run towards the door and locked it.

"Hi" the only word came out.

"Is felix there?" He asked.

"He left for the US" I answered.

He didn't answer.

"We'll going to marry" I said and there's no feeling at all.

"What?!" He shouted on the other line.

"You are my wife Astrid, you can marry him" he said.

"We did not marry because I runaway"

"I have my ways astrid" reagan said.

I do not understand what he is saying but that is not important at the moment.

"I would not even allow him to marry me" I said.

"Then be with me let's go home together" his voice sounds calm.

I know he just wants me to feel comfortable in my situation and not to be upset with him if I was matured to think he was way more matured although he was older than me that would not be a barrier to us as long as I knew how we felt about each other.

"I know what felix can do Reagan

I experienced how angry he was" I said.

"When that f*****g bastard is caught I will kill him for what he does to you" I could not find a good word to respond to what he said

"Why did you pretend to be someone else?" Reagan sudden asked.

"I-I thought that would help me to escape from my unknown groom and that is you right?"

I have been through a lot since I was not yet married and even and became more and more disturbed when I met Reagan who I was supposed to marry and now I was tied to someone I didn't like and could hurt when he was angry with me. But that will not be the reason for not trying to love reagan if he really loves me.

"Since the first time we met there is something on you that I should  have know" he said.

"Did not aunt beatrice tell you?" I asked.

"Hour name only she nver let me see your face"

"Why?" maybe not because I'm ugly so she doesn't want to show my face.

"I do not know, but when you I saw your cousin text and her picture with you it reminds me of our supposed wedding she is the one who approached me and tell that the bride Runaway" he explained.

I sighed. "I'm sorry reagan"

"That's okay Babe but this time I won't let that happen again" he seriously said.

We end our conversation last night because my other phone rang and felix named registered on the screen.

Reagan 2:

I'll wait you outside the restaurant.

He message me early in the morning.

Me:

I can't go out too early maybe at 12 in the afternoon.

He didn't response on my message maybe he's busy or doing something.

"Betty! Are you ready for our destination later?" I asked her.

She washes the dishes now so I sit down at the counter first and drink coffee.

"Of course Ms, I really wanted to go to Namsan and put padlocks" betty said.

"Can i go with you?" Carol cut our conversation.

"If you only can" I said and chuckled.

I prepared my belongings and after bathing I searched for an outfit that felix bought and now I'm wearing a jeans and plain white sweater. When I go down I saw betty so restless.

"Are you okay betty?" I asked her.

"Ms I can't go with you later because I nees to call my family there is an emergency" She explained.

"That's okay betty family is more important, and besides the driver is with me" I said.

I wish my family calling me to ask if I'm okay or what I'm doing in my life now.

Instead of going to Namsan we decided to go to myeong-dong the eclectic shopping and casual global dining.

"You can go around Jhon I can manage myself" I said to my driver.

He just nodded and go parking the Van. I saw reagan waiting outside of the expensive restaurant.

"Hi! how long have you been waiting for?" I asked with smiley face.

"Not really, i thought you are with someone else?"

"She has something to do today" I said.

We ordered some foods and we ate lunch at the right time. while we waited for the food I took the brown enveloped in my bag and handed it to him.

"What is this?" He asked.

"Look at what's inside and explain everything to me" her eyes never leave my eyes.

He get the enveloped and open it his serious expression earlie never change.

Hs lips curved slightly.

"Are you playing me reagan?" My face forms an annoying looks.

"Of course not astrid, where the hell did you get this astrid?" He asked.

"Felix gave it to me" I simply answered.

He is still laughing at me and I don't know why... he is an annoying playboy really annoying! I was about to walk away when he stopped me from doing that.

"Relax astrid, that pictures was taken 3 years ago" he said.

"... before our wedding actually" he added.

I throw the empty enveloped on his face.

"Addison is my ex girlfriend and that ring I gave it as a birthday present I didn't expect that she's going to post it on her ig"

I still couldn't believe to what he was saying because he was just laughing at me and there is a possibillity that he is playing me.

"Okay find! For you to satisfied Addison is my Ex that's fact and anothe fact those pictures was taken 3 years ago" he repeat what he said earlier but at this moment he was serious.

"If you realky cheating on me I'll kill you by hanging" I said with a threaten voice.

"I'm not threaten by your words babe, he will really do everything to get you" he said seriously.

"That's how my beauty charm affects him" I said and winked.

I do believe in him but it is still not safe for us to see each other together now that we still don't know what felix is really thinking and bad plans for me and especially for Reagan.

"annyeong, nan dangsingwa sajin-eul gajil su issseubnikka?" hi can i have a photo with you. The girl suddenly approached reagan.

I laughed at Reagan's reaction but when reagn didn't speak their attention came on my direction

"geuui yeoja chingu-ibnikka?" Are you his girlfriend? The cute korean girl asked.

Her hair is so cute I really amazed them even at their simple look they are still fresh.

"ye" yes.

The two girls left with their smiles are widely as the emojis but reagan was still confused on what is happening he didn't really understand what we're talking.

"I love you" words came out on my mouth.

His confusing face looks change into sweet smile look.

"I love you too" he said too.

"We'll go to Namsan please" I said and put my palms together.

"Is that far from here? And how about your driver?"

"I think not really, I'll go with him we'll meet there"

We done eating our foods and ready to go to Namsan again I decided to out padlock with our named printed on it. For me being with reagan on one of my favorites place makes it more romantic even we need to secretly go out.

I know its still worth it at the end.
