Chapter 23

In the middle of the hot day I watched Savier get up and load pipes into the truck. His tanned skin and the bullet sweats dripping down on his body made him look more yummier. Two months ago we spend his salary for cutting loads of pipes. He brought my expenses and so on. He bought nothing of himself.

One night I saw his hands with some scars and bruise. I felt so warm and hurt seeing him like this. Too far from being a CEO and a business tycoon. And it's because of me. I made him like this. So from the beginning, I worked hard on cooking and housework. I was brought back to my senses when I saw him coming towards me. I straightened up to sit at the table where it was shady. I chewed my bottom lip when he did his stunt. He put his hands on my both sides. Even if he's sweating he smells so good. I pouted when he adjusted the skirt of my dress that was slightly lifted in my sitting position.

"Go home. It's hot here." he parted the strands of my hair. I shook my head. My heart pounded every time I saw the veins in his hand. I remember the noise of the bed every night. His muscular chest, I remember how it turned red. His lips are red. Hey! Damn! Why this man is so hot and handsome?

"Yes, later..I'm going to wash ....my undies. "I said softly and blushed slightly. It was getting malicious when I thought about it!

He smirked and bit his lower lip. "All right! Get back there!" I pushed him away. He shook his head and sealed me with a kiss on the lips. Not aware of people watching us.

"I'll do the laundry." he said with a playful grin.

I stared at him but I couldn't help but smile. "Stop!"

"What?" he laughed.

“It’s embarrassing Sav! I can do it myself.”

"I've seen yours already, you're still embarrassed huh, ." He sensually whispered to me. I gasped and looked at the workers busy with their works.

"Your mouth Savier!"

He barked a laugh. "All right. Go home. I'll cook later. I'll cook your favorite."

"Really? Marinated chicken?" happyly, I said.

"Yes don't get tired.I'll be the one will make you tired tonight. " He added that my cheek was almost sour.

I reached our hut to see the unexpected visitor. Grandpa Tacio and I were talking but he looked at me when he felt that something was coming.

"M-Marrie!" I swear my heart almost jump. I don't know why I'm nervous.How she could get here? Since the past month Sav has really told me nothing about what is going on.

"Roxette..we need to talk." She looked uneasy.

"Hija, you have a visitor.It's been a while. I'll just bring you a snack. "

"Yes grandpa, thank you." I dressed Marrie in. She rolled her eyes at our house and looked at me. She criticized what I am wearing I know.

“Where’s Savier?” She asked. She's wearing a jeans and white shirt. I sat in the opposite chair.

"Wait how did you get here? Do you have a car?"

She shook his head. "I'm commuting. I don't have a car anymore."

"Huh?"

"Roxette, we've been hiding for a month." The nervousness spread through my body. I stumbled.

"Why? Will papa be imprisoned?" I asked her nervously.

She shook her head. "No. Death threats to your dad creditors. Santiago's didn't help us! Because you allegedly ran away! My decision to help you was really wrong. I didn't think this would be the outcome. I had money left and I was looking for you. You weren't hard to find. I won't be surprised one day your papa, will find you. Papa still has people today. We rented an apartment because many people surrounded suspiciously outside the mansion! We've been shot once Roxette! It's a good thing we didn't get hurt. " her tears rolled down her cheeks as she told me that.

I just covered my mouth. My system seemed to shake at what I found out. "I heard them talking, when you marry Caleb… The Santiago family are ready to help us. Papa, Roxette is looking for you.I know he is looking for you right now. That's why I came here because I'm having a hard time. This is my fault."

My tears flowed as I figured out the same solution for everyone. "I can't leave Sav, Marrie!" I sobbed.

She shook her head and took my hand.
"I didn't say that Roxette. Follow what you want. I hope if I could just marry Caleb it wouldn't be you. Caleb was my ex. When we lived with you and I found out you knew him. I had another chance. I stop teasing Savier because he's my first but when we talk he doesn't want me anymore Roxette. He's inlove with you. Even when there was something happened to us but he didn't want me.” she covered her face and sobbed.

Oh gosh! I'm too much of information. I don’t really process everything. This is really a big problem. This is too much trouble. We both cried for a minute.

"Saviers is in danger. I'm warning you Roxette. Savier also has a death threat because papa used his name.I hope they don't see you and shoot guns the same way they did to us! " I felt like I had fallen miles and miles into a precipice. While we were living peacefully here, I never thought about how they would be there. I never thought about the consequences of hiding. I have to tell this to Savier.

I also can’t blame him because Savier didn’t know what dad did. I didn't tell him that either. Marrie went home when she calmed down. I did not tell Savier what I found out. He insisted on asking me how I was feeling because he was noticing my sadness.

What if we tracked down here? What if dad sees us? What if Savier will be in danger? The only solution is me. Nothing else. If I go home and show up to the Santiagos maybe they will be reassured and papa will help them. Dad would never be harmed especially Savier. But I'll leave Savier here. I can't have both of them because it's so complicated.

Fuck! I have to decide. I don’t want this kind of lifestyle to be experienced by Savier. I want him back to normal. I made things worse and complicated. I think the unlucky word is my twin. Everyone who is important to me is doomed.

I was gripping tight on his hard shoulders while he was thrusting so hard and fast. I'll miss his touch, his scent and the warmth of his body. He didn’t notice the tears in my eyes because of the darkness. For the last time I'll cherish this moment. For the last time I want to make love with him as long as I want.

The next day the sun did not shine bright but the dark clouds and it seemed to rain. So Savier has no work today.

"What's wrong?" he seemed to notice my silence.

I shook my head and smiled. "Nothing.I just misspapa. "

His jaw clenched at he nodded like he don't care. He is really mad to dad. Maybe you forgot he is your uncle Roxette!

Realization spread into me. The man with me is my uncle. Although we are not allowed to fight but until when? How long can we avoid the truth? In the middle of my thoughts we hugged. Suddenly our wooden door collapsed. The gun fired at us.

Savier immediately put me on his back. '' Fuck! '' He cursed.

"Tie him up!" Someone shouted and entered. I saw that Caleb’s dad. Including a few armed men. Six armed men approached Savier and forcibly tied him up.

"Fuck! Roxette! Run!" Savier shouted.

I was so nervous about what was going on I couldn’t run. I just realized that I was being dragged by two men. "No! Let me go !Savier !! "I shouted. They pulled me so I almost fell. I saw Savier fight back.

"Savier!"

"No! Fuck! Bullshit!" He fought with the men who punched him and he ran towards us and pulled me over. I immediately grabbed his hand tightly but someone punched him and I saw that it was papa.

"Papa !!! Don't !!"

"You're worthless brother Savier! You ruined everything! Are you thinking ?!" Sav was already on his knees while looking at me, his lips ara full of blood. He did'nt budge to look papa, he still thinks of me. He look at me, full of concern and love.

"Papa! Enough! I came willingly to go with you! "

"Shut up! ! Look at yourselves! Are you thinking ?! '' I just moaned and I couldn't move because two people were holding me. I saw Grandpa Tacio bent over and his face blushing. He also does nothing.

"I am saving you from disgrace! Look what have you done Savier!" papa shouted.

Savier smirked and grinned despite the blood on his lips. "I know what I am doing Henry. I know what really going on..there is nothing wrong with us! I am not- "

"SHUT UP !!" Dad's thunderous shout. I don't know what they're talking about because I'm more nervous.

"Get Roxette in the car !!" papa's shout seemed alarming.

"No!" Sav tried to get away but armed men punched him. I could see Caleb's father just looking coldly at what was happening.

"Papa! That's enough!" I saw Savier's face were bloody red. I can't do this anymore.
"I'm coming !!! I'm going to marry Caleb! Is that what you want !?" I shouted and encouraged myself even though I was full of tears.

"Y-You're not marrying any him R-Roxette!" Savier's hard voice.
"Sav.." I sobbed and wiped my tears. I looked at dad. He seemed to know what I wanted so his men let me go. I immediately ran to where Sav was and hugged him tightly.

He hugged me too. "N-No ... you're not leaving me. Baby…no. " His eyes turned red and he kissed my cheek.

My tears flowed as the rain fell.

"We need to wake up to this beautiful dream, Savier. " I smiled weakly. That seems to trigger him. His tears fell. We were so wet but I could see that. He cried for the first time and it's because of me.

"We're going to fight Roxette! Believe me! It's not wrong!" he shouted.

"That's enough!" papa shouted and people pulled me away. I looked at Savier with tears in my eyes. We are not too far from each other yet.

"Baby, please. I'll work too hard. I'll give it my all. Bullshit Roxette!" he shouted loudly. He still cannot move because four men are holding him.

"T-This is all right Savier. It's for you." I forced smile despite the incessant tears. "You're the best dream I ever dreamed of, Savier." I cried. I slowly turned away.

I was shivering in the freezing rain that we ignored. Every step I weaken. Every step made me faint.

"Putangina Roxette. You're the one who built me, you're the one who cut it? Bullshit !roxette! "I heard him shouted but papa pulled me. Then everything became blurred. I felt a stinging pain in my stomach.

"Shit! No! She's bleeding !!" Savier shouted when I got in the car but papa closed it. Everything's were black.
All I knew and stuck in my mind was that I had hurt Savier too much. I leave him with a deep scar. But it is all for him.
