Chapter 40: Chapter 40

When they entered the yard of the house, the gate immediately opened as how it automatically closed, very high-tech place. The pedicab will be embarrassed to enter the area.

"By the way, Ash, there's no signal here, I'm sorry?" Jem said to her friend as she tried to take out her cell phone.

"Ahh, is that correct? It's okay, let's just stay here for a while, shall we? It's also a long trip, " she smiled at her, then looked around.

The size of the place was obviously no joke, and obviously a lot of money was spent on it. She can see from the materials of the house that not only millions but billions were spent before it was built. The more beautiful the color of the swollen flowers, the more Almost all of her favorites plants are there.

"What's so good about Mark's place? The place is very relaxing. I'm kidding, we're up here but there's a swimming pool. Maybe it's nice to live here, "she hugged himself while looking at her friend.

She just stared at her and seemed to have no plans to speak.

"Ash, is it okay if I leave you here first? Mark is downstairs, we just need to buy some things. I promise I'll be right back. I'll just leave those clothes we bought, right?" Then she finally turned away.

"Can't I come with you, so that I can hang out with someone? I'd rather be left here alone and I can't last to stay here by myself.. Maybe later there will be a ghost here. "Apparently, Ashy was afraid to stop her.

"No, Mark and I can handle that. We'll be right back. Relax there first, we'll be right back. Maybe you want to buy something, so we can buy it." The friend asked as she opened the door of her car.

"No, be careful, huh? "Come back here, you're crazy. I'll kill you if you leave me here," she threatened her friend, who was already sitting in the driver's seat.

She just smiled at her and then started the car's engine.

She fortified her friend's car as it descended from where he was.

She just went back to the garden. Se looked at the plants that were pleasing to the eye.

If only she could take them home, she would really take them with no second though. What a coincidence that all of her favorite flowers are doing well. She will see. She felt at those times that ahe was in paradise.

The paradise that Storm and she built when they were just dreaming. These are times full of dreams for the future. dream that even one of them has nothing fulfilled, nothing comes true.

She suddenly felt angry and in pain. She did not realize that tears were already dripping from her eyes. Tears of frustration and pain from the past. Tears of remorse for the decisions she could no longer give up. remorse that she can still carry out, but pity dominates her. Pity for Paul, who can't hurt other people and has no other things to do but to love.. Love him and be true to him.

A few hours have passed, but Jem has not returned yet.

She was already feeling anxious.

Soon a car was coming. She was especially nervous because it wasn't Jem's or Mark's car either. Entering the vehicle, the gate closed again.

She was shocked to see who got out of the car.

Storm!

She can't be wrong. She fell from their schemes.

Ashy didn't know what to do at those times. She quickly picked up her purchases.

Ahe was about to come out of the gate. Then Storm didn't stop her.

She realized at that point that the gate would not be opened if no vehicle came in or out.

She just looked at him as he was about to enter the house.

Furiously, she followed him all the way inside.

"What's this? What does it mean? Why are you here? Where are Jem and Mark? " her angry question, deliberately blocking him in his path.

"You're just here at my house. Jem and Mark, maybe at this time they're close to Manila. You were just brought here." he answered as if it was just normal to him.

It was only then that she thought it was all just a play, that it wasn't true that Mark and Jem would meet in that place. That Storm and she were really together in that area.

"Why? What? Are you crazy already? Did you really use Jem just to get me here? Why, what are you thinking? That you're going to lock me up here until the day Paul and I get married? Are you like that? Desperate Storm? " she gave him a deadly look.

Storm on the other hand, greeted those who thought she didn't care. Her anger against him reached the sky.

"If that's all I have to do just to wake you up to the truth, then I won't hesitate to do what you said. I won't let you decide something you'll regret for the rest of your life!" its strong answer from him. He just passed it then headed to the kitchen.

With the size of the house, anyone will be asked to measure the kitchen and other parts of it.

On the stairs to the rooms, you feel like you are inside a mall.

It can now accommodate ten families with three children each. Even if you shout inside, no one will definitely hear it.

"What right do you have? What right do you have to change any decision I make? What right do you have to interfere in my life? What right do you have to stop your brother and I's plan?" she followed him into the kitchen, where he removed the shoes she was wearing so she could chase him.

"I have all the rights. And if I have to make all the decisions for you, I will. I talked to you properly, I asked you to back off, but what did you do? You can still do what you want! You are still following his wants to marry you, and that's what I won't let happen. Ashy? As long as I live, you can't marry my brother " It is said seriously. Anger and hatred can be seen in his eyes.

"Wow! Is it really a Storm I know? So you're my father now? You're the one to decide what should and shouldn't happen to me? Are you the one to be followed like that? Why? What right do you have?" Ashy asked Storm tearfully. she just wanted to push it out so that they wouldn't see his face again.

"Because you know nothing," was its serious but smiling response.

He left her standing. Based on what she saw, it looked like he had no plans to go home. She think he had already bought everything they would need in that house.

She felt a fear of what might come in his mind while they are together.

Has it saved her yet?

"I want to go home. I have a job waiting for me and my mom needs me. It's good that you don't have a parent to think about, just yourself, " she sat down in the chair as she watched him work.

"We're not going home until your mind is clear. We'll stay here until your brain is shaken to the truth. " he seriously sat in front of her.

"You can't lock me up here, Storm. You don't own me. I'm not an object or an animal. You can lock me up here and release me whenever you want." She cry to him." Mom will worry about me!"

"Your mother already knows that we are together, if all you are thinking is that she will be with you in your house, don't worry, Jem will stay with her home until you come back." He stood up and looked like he was going to cook what they were going to eat.

Ashy didn't know what those times would do. How could she leave? She wasn't even familiar with the place. She also can't ride. The cellphone also has no signal.

"I'm sorry if I have to do this. This is the only way I can think of. Maybe I'm desperate, so even though I know I can disturb other people, I still do it. You'll be angry. If you get angry, it will be accepted. But I won't let you decide something that soon you'll regret just because you're mad at me. " his emotional response.

"I don't understand why you have to do this. I see nothing wrong with whatever decision I have made. I have no reason for you to stop me from marrying your brother." Ashy just stared at the emptiness because she didn't want to meet his melting looks.

"Sure, maybe I've been too selfish, but I know that whatever my reason is now, someday you'll understand too. There are just things that shouldn't come from me. Things that can be considered outside of my rights." He stopped speaking. "There's only one reason why I brought you here." Instead, he faced preparing their food.

"Whatever your reason is, I don't know and I don't care," she said as she stood up and walked out the door, she realized it was dark. She burst into tears as she realized why it felt so good to stay in that place. It wasn't Storm, she didn't think.
