CHAPTER 17

WHY did Magnus have to see that?

Kitang-kita niya sa mga mata ni Sabria ang isang bagay na alam niyang ikakabagsak niyang muli.

Lie.

Of all that things that he can see, why did he see it in her eyes that she was lying?

He crumpled the paper in his hand. What the hell is wrong with him? He offered her a large sum of money. She doesn’t even deserve a penny from him.

A whopping five million pesos. Just for her to leave their house — their estate.

“Have I gone crazy?” tanong niya sa kaniyang sarili.

Napatukod siya sa study table. He massaged his nape as he reflected on what just happened.

Sinabi nitong nag-back out ito sa kasal nila dahil hindi siya nagustuhan nito kahit kailan. Na napilitan lang ito. Na ayaw nitong tuparin ang mga pangarap nila nang magkasama.

Pero bakit kanina, sa tuwing titingnan niya ang mga mata nito, nakikita niya na nagsisinungaling lang ito? Those expressive eyes... had blatant deceit in them.

He closed his eyes tightly.

He’s long been fine by himself.
