CHAPTER 9

CHAPTER 9

SUMAMA siya ulit kay Migo sa NPC. Gusto niya tumulong kaya naman sumama siya lalo na ng mag aasikaso ito ng bagong disenyo ng hotel and thinking what they think to change with it. Bigla naman siya napaisip, the theme doesn't suit since he made the quadruplets choose ay tila hindi ito babagay, nagkibit balikat siya habang tinitignan gaano ka busy sila Migo sa opisina nito.

Nakaupo lang siya sa couch at bumuntong hininga they are too busy to realize the foor they order just came. Siya nalang ang kumuha at nag bayad nito at inilapag sa isang couch, napailing siya sa mga ito at nilapitan sila. They are too busy!

Lumapit siya sa mga ito. "Hey, do you know? Your ideas are suck. What do you think of this, a club?" Nagtaas siya ng kilay sa guhit saan ideya ng disenyong babaguhin sa kumpaniya.

Mukha talagang club ang ginagawa ng tatlo, hindi naman club 'to? "Excuse me, do you have any idea how we think about this designs?"

"I don't like your ideas.." lumapit siya kay migo at tinignan ang mga naroon. Hindi niya talaga gusto even can see with migo na hindi niya rin gusto ang ideya nito. "Why don't you make this look like a hotel. I mean, atlease looke decent like your ideas." puna niya sa mga ito, their ideas are really bad.

Tumawa sila Heil. "Luxury. Change the theme and logo in front of the hall. Make it more at lease give some changes, then the set sitting places at the other side. Change and fix the positions." Tumingin si migo sakaniya at tila tinging namamangha pa.

"Hmm. That makes me think about.." nagustuhan nito ang kaniyang ideya at napangiti siya na magiging maganda tingin ng iba dito.

Ideas. "Add some decorations too. Chandelier, some stuffs. Add some tables, chairs where they can eat too? And you probably need to add a cafe."

What? Lahat ng iyon ay naisip niya para narin sa gustong buoin nito ang 'hidden business' guato lang naman numiya tumulong. Wala naman masama kung mag suggests siya ng kahit na anong makakatulong kay migo. She want to help migo out with this business, She want to help him para naman makatulong siya at may ginagawa rin siya.

"Buti pa si vera matino ang ideya."

the three stare with him, angry. "Our ideas are good?! You didn't appreciate us! You moron!"

"Don't be dramatic. Your ideas is not a decent one. It will look like a club. Fuckers, wala tayo sa bar para bigyan niyo ako ng club theme and I knew you will came out with this ideas! I appreciate it but nope, we are not going to make my business as your strip club. Do you want us to get raid?"

bumuntong hininga lang ang tatlo. "Fine, but can you let us do something here? Excuse me. We are the co-founders of this business, have you forgotten about that dear cousin? We helped you!"

"Whatever. Decorate the Romances Room with the same design, morons. Okay? Let me clear this, I will be in charge with the designs and things. You are going to fix them inside. Are we clear? Also to the meeting room, you can be in charge there Rifle and Bullet, choose any room you want. For Heil and Heaven, they can manage the Paper room and Pollux can manage for the Hallway. Since he graduated as architecture design. He can manage the hall, and all of you. Lead by me. Are we clear?"

Nirolyo ni Trigger ang mata dismayado sa napili na design ni Migo, tumawa siya. "Don't be bothered about your design, Trigger. You can make that design for me." Lumiwanag ang mukha nito.

"What? Baby!" Umangal agad si migo dahil ayaw nito. "Chill, just want him to fix the mini-bar."

Nakita niya na may mini-bar sa loob, but that seems haven't clean and fix for long. There is a secret door way pass to the mini-bar. Gusto niyang maasikaso iyon and so trigger won't be disappointed he can do that for her. Gusto lang naman niya na maging masaya sila. Trigger includes that thing he want.

"Before that, shall we eat?"

"Oh. The food!"

Para silang mga bata na nagunahan sa pagkain, kinuha niya nalang ang pizza at pagkain ni migo para magsalo sila sa table at hayaan ang mga ito sa sala sa opisina. Inilapag niya ang pagkain sa lamesa ni migo at inayos ito duon, she just like pizza hindi rin naman siya ganuon ka-gutom kaya pizza lang ang order niya na pagkain. Sabay silang dalawa.

Bumaling siya kay migo na tahimik lang na kumakain, hindi niya talaga maiwasan na titigan ito sa guwapo nitong mukha kasi sino ba naman ang lalakeng hindi maakit sa kaniyang mukha? He looks so hot, so handsome. He looks so good, he looks so perfect. Well, he is really perfect!

Perpekto naman kasi talaga si migo. Migo is so perfect with everything. Maybe he can't walk through his enterprises company. But he can manage at his own and creat a business at his own. A hidden business that can help anyone.

Migo notice her kaya umiwas siya agad. "Can I walk around here later? I mean, I want to look around." Paalam niya dito at tinanguan siya. Ngumiti siya at tinuloy ang pagkain niya and next, they are busy.

They went busy again, calling something about the furnitures and designs. Habang siya naglalakad lakad sa hall then se third floor kung nasaan ang mga pintuan na iba iba ang nakalagay at nakasabit.

It's like a department.

Romances (Relationship) Marriage, Benefits, Vengeance, Assistance, Ought, Contract

That's what every door says. It's departments of every needs. This, this is naked proposal usually do. Benfits and Vengeance. Yun ang tingin niyang naging kontrata nilang dalawa ni Migo and as far she remembers, there was no romances that includes with them. Hindi niya alam, nasa utak niya ngayon she's really confused with everything that happened arround here pumasok nalang sa isipan niya na, Naked Proposal is real they do what client needs from them. Literally, giving what they want.

she heavily gasped then walk out nasa elevator na siya ng may kamay na humawak sa pulsuhan niya, It was the guy yesterday who migo called evans.

Siya 'yon! "W-what do you need?" Tanong niya dito at kinalas ang hawak niyo sakaniya, hindi siya kumportable sa lalake iba ito tumingin sakaniya at ang unang napansin niya. His eyes are red.. not that red, namumula ang mga mata nito. "You?" Huh?

Tinignan niya ito, "Saan ka ba pupunta?" Tanong nito sakaniya, nasa elevator kasi siya kaya siguro naitanong nito iyon sakaniya. "Fourth floor. Office ng asawa ko." Natural at simpleng sagot niya naman.

"Don't you mind to ask you, how did you two meet? I mean, the last time wala naman siyang asawa."

ngumiwi siya, "We met in accident time. Married." Simpleng sagot niya, ayaw niyang habaan ang sasabihin niya. She doesn't like talking to him.

habang nasa elevator sila naramdaman niya na lumalapit ito before the elevator opens, his hand wrapped around her waist that makes her slap him.

"Get off me! You addict!"

Tumakbo siya paalis at papasok ng opisina saan sinalubong niya ng yakap si migo. She's scared, tumungo siya kay Migo at mahigpit na yumakap nagtago rin siya sa likod nito while That evans was there. Standing and grinning his teeth while looking at her. That's creepy! Natatakot siya sa mukha nito.

Migo gasped and remove her fingers hugging her, inalalayan siya ni Pollux kaya naman si migo sinapak ito at hinila sa loob ng opisina. She didn't know what he did to make the glass went black it's covering from outside! Anong ginawa niya?

"Bastard, no one... touches my wife. Did you know what you did? That's dangerous even for you."

Migo look at pollux at tinanguan ito, dinala siya ni Pollux sa isang pintuan sa opisina. Bungad nito ang kwarto, hindi niya alam anong gagawin nila It seems soundproof. Wala siyang marinig mula sa labas.

MIGO grinned his teeth and massaging his fist while looking at evans. Tao niya sa NPC na mula sa pagiging drug addict tinanggap niya then now may balak pang masama sa asawa niya? Yes! Asawa, he will call her that whenever he wants and he wants her to called as his wife para malaman ng iba ang babaeng balak nilang angkinin? Pagmamayari na niya, and not even evans can do anything from that now he take the punishment he want to give.

Lumapit siya dito at hinawakan sa bandang panga nito, mahigpit na hawak. "Do you really think you can do something to take her from me?" Aniya.

"She's beautiful, she's perfect— she don't deserve like you. Migo. You're a coward, ruthless, bastard! Wasn't you the reason why your parents died?"

Lalong namuo ang kamao niya. "Do you have any idea what happened that day? You are blaming the wrong person, It wasn't me. And you have no right to judge me because you are nothing! Nothing but a drug addict. Tinanggap kita dito, tinanggap kita pero ano ang ginagawa mo? Sinisira mo!"

"Huh, really?"

Sinapak niya ito hanggang dumugo ang labi nito, he deserve this. He knew what he actually do.

For long, ganito ang ginagawa ni evans noon palang. Pinapatos niya mga babae dito to make it like him, ma-engganyo sa drugs. That's what he do.

"I will re-create this company, without you. Evans, and touch my wife again? You'll be a deat meat to me. now leave, bago kita ipatapon sa kulunalgan."

His face turn scared, tumakbo ito paalis at gustong gusto niya itong patayin. He can't do that. Tinakot nalang niya ng matigilan ito at umalis. He will never accept anyone like him, kung talagang nagbagong buhay he will see it unlike him, umpisa palang alam na niyang hindi magbabagong buhay kaya hindi na malabo sakaniya kung may tinataguan si Evans— well, his name doesn't start or end with evans. Yun lang ang code name niya, his name is Manuel Garcia. Evans doesn't even existed with him.

Bumuntong hininga siya at pinuntahan si Vera but she's sleeping, nakatulog na siguro sa paghihintay. Humalik nalang siya sa noo nito then left the room.

"Let's go back to business?" Aniya pagkalabas ng silid na iyon, but not this business. "Where is she?"

Nagkibit balikat siya sa tanong ni Rifle. "Sleeping, nakatulog na. I'll wash my hands the let's talk about the real business we have why we are here."

Ilang minuto lang bumalik siya at nagsimula sa paguusap niya kasama ang mga ito, nine years ago. They started this thing, they want to hunt those people who take his parents down. Gusto niya malaman, anong rason para gawin nila iyon? Ano bang kasalanan ng parents niya para gawin nilang patayin sila in their own wedding day? That's what they were doing few years from now.

His cousins and friends work how to make it happened, he disguise outside as Migo Bartholomew kahit na ang totoo? He's the only heir of Bourne. Everyone knows that he could be the reason why they died, they hated him kaya nga nagtago nalang siya but his cousins and friends know what really happened nandun sila that day! Wala siyang kasalanan, he was just a kid. A seven year old kid. Ano naman ang magagawa niya sa parents niya? Kill them for what? For nothing?

Twenty years. It's been 20 years since everything happened, twenty years yet he haven't forget the single detail of how his parents got shot by sniper.

Who are they? Why did they kill them?

Matagal ng katanungan sa isipan niya bakit at anong rason para patayin ang parents niya sa mismong kasal pa nito, bakit biglaan nalang? Bakit kailangan bawiin ang mga ito sakaniya, bakit?

Now. He won't let them get away, hahanapin niya sila kahit saang lupalop ng mundo pa sila magpunta at hahanapin niya sila para pagbayarin aa kasalanan na ginawa nila twenty years ago, they won't get away this time? He will catch them. Bring them where they should be in. Sins can't never get away.

"Migo, you're not really going to give up on this? What if.. we can't find them? Won't you stop even it could make Vera into dangerous world you're pulling in your life? I mean. You're pulling a strings, that can make vera have a dangerous world."

Huminga siya ng malalim, they are right. Vera couldn't have a dangerous world because of me. Vera is just a woman that he cheshire and treasure right now, at ang mapahamak ito? Hindi niya gustong mapahamak si vera ng dahil sakaniya.

"You can find the criminals but not like this, Vera. Mahalaga siya sayo hindi ba? We all know, you don't see her as a client, as a simple woman or as a woman na sinaktan ng naging bestfriend mo. Hindi mo siya tinitigan way how you look at your ex. It's more than that, mas mahalaga siya kaysa sa ex mo. Hindi ganiyan ang tingin mo kay yuri noon."

Tumingin siya dito, "Is that too obvious?"

Lahat sila tumango sakaniya kaya napasinghap nalang siya. "Hindi mo maitatago ang nararamdaman mo para kay Vera ng matagal. Kung ako sayo? Aamin na ako bago pa maagaw ng iba kahit na wala siyang maramdaman para sayo? You can make her feel the way you do basta hahayaan ka niyang mahalin mo siya kahit na ikaw lang."

"You know a lot about this.. don't you, Trigger?" Ngumiwi siya napansin niya agad ang pinsan, seryoso ang mga payo nito sakaniya. "It's just a piece of advice dear cousin. Kung mahal mo sunggaban mo wag mong hayaan may ibang lalakeng haharang para agawin siya sayo. What if, one day kaka-pagiging torpe mo bigla siyang maagaw ni Rois? What would you do?"

Namuo ang kamao niya, "I'll kill him."

"Angkinin mo na, wag mong hayaang maagaw ng isang hamak na gago. Kumpara kay Rois, you deserve her because you always take care of her while he? What he did is give a pain to her chest."

Right, again. "I will never let her go, bastard. Sinong gago ang pakakawalan ang isang katulad ni vera? She's a simple woman that only wants to make her ex boyfriend and ex best-friend have the pain she have felt in that five months. Five months is long term for her to get over alam kong wala na right now her contact with him is just a flirt, para mahulog sa patibong ang taong nanakit sa puso niya."

"She's badass." Kumento naman ni Heil, badass naman talaga siya. Lalo na kahapon when they met Yuri na mukhang hindi accident. "Yesterday when we are in date. Nakita kami ni yuri and yuri doesn't even recognise both of us. Nilalandi ako ni yuri since that party I guess she was trying to do something with me. I don't know, basta nilalandi niya talaga ako." Aniya sa mga ito.

Chismoso. "And she do was, being a bad bitch with her. Para siyang nagseselos na bigla nalang nagalit at sumabog para maging bitch sa harap ni yuri. She joked then that joke went to her, ayaw niya mawala si rois sakaniya pero ang kapal niyang landiin ako?"

"Woah! Woah! Hold up, that bitch flirted you and joke to borrow you and she exploded with that?"

Tumango siya, "Oh! To think of that, I think she likes you already. Pero hindi niya alam 'yon. She's slow."

"Also. Probably she's hot when she moan?" Sinamaan niya ng tingin si heil at agad na sinakal, nabubwiset siya kapag may halo itong kabastusan, sino ba naman ang hindi? "Bastard. Her moans are just for me, not for you!" Singhal niya dito.

Heil and heaven just laughed.

"That's not funny!" He hissed them with his irritations kahit na totoo naman, she is so hot when she moan especially moaning his name. Bigla siyang naturn on kaya tinakpan niya ang kandungan ng makaupo siya sa swivel chair. "Oh. Bakit ka pinagpapawisan, migo?" Tanong ni Pollux sakaniya.

Jesus Christ! "Nothing. It feels hot. Bukas ba ang aircon? Ang init talaga ng panahon ngayon."

"Sira ata ang aircon, isa pa pala yan! Muntikan ko makalimutan, we need to change the air-cons para maging maayos rin ant lumamig naman dito. Mahe-heatstroke tayo ng wala sa oras sa sobrang init."

Tumango siya then Trigger chuckled. "Really? Aircon ba talaga dahilan bakit ka pianapawisan o baka naman si Vera ang dahilan kung bakit?"

"Shut up, trigger and go away!" Singhal niya sa pinsan. Naiinis na kasi talaga siya dito, paano niya ba naging pinsan ang isang 'to? No idea how.

He rolled his eyes, "Go go and go! Business!"

Nagsi-alisan naman ang mga ito which mabuti nalang umalis sila, room still covered black and she's still asleep. Inalis niya ang tabing sa pantalon niya and it's still hard as fuck. Ano naman gagawin niya dito? Napapikit nalang siya habang iniisip paano niya pahuhupain ang pagkalalake niyang gising at buhay na buhay sa mga oras na ito wala siyang ibang magagawa. Sleep, Little. Please sleep. Nakikiusap siya habang napapapikit at kinalma ang kaniyang sarili hanggang mawala ang pagkabuhay ng kaniyang pagkalalake, buti nalang nawalan agad.

Humupa ang init na nararamdaman niya ngayon, he can't stop that hotness- but he should be. Ayaw niyang makita siya ni Vera na buhay ang gitna niya.

That's embarrassing! Sumandal siya sa upuan then a voice came in. "Master Migo?" Bumaling agad siya kay allen na tumuloy sa loob, bumuntong hininga siya at sana hindi naman problema ang sasabihin nito sakaniya lalo na ayaw niya ng problema ngayon. Sagad na sagad na dami niya ng iniintindi mag dadagdag pa ba? "I hope that's not a problem, look. Allen? I'm enough today." Aniya.

"No.. Master, It's about your brother."

HINDI niya alam kung gaano kahaba ang oras na natulog siya basta ang alam niya, natulog siya sa kwarto sa opisina ni Migo then when she wokes up ay busy si Migo kasama si Allen may inaasikaso ito its just a few minutes when she woke up when Rois texted and want to see her. Mariin siya napapikit na napag desisyong pumayag na makipag kita dito, maybe its right time for them to meet today?

Bumaling siya kay migo, "Migo. Pwede ba ako umalis ngayon, Rois want to meet me." Paalam niya inasahan niyang magagalit si Migo sakaniya o pag bawalan siya but he didn't say anything like it.

"Alright, go home early. Call me when Rois tried to do some shit okay? Susunduin agad kita and wag ka mag papahatid, call me. Pupuntahan agad kita."

Tumango siya. "Yes. Thank you!" Yumakap siya at humalik kay migo tska kumalipas ng pagalis.

Excited? No. She doesn't feel any excitement at this point gusto niya lang talaga ay ang makita si rois. What will he do? Umuwi na muna siya sa bahay, may spare key siya kaya nakapasok siya she change her clothes to something different. Umalis siya wearing a off shoulder mini dress with floral print then her bag, she texted him where they can meet as for him gusto nito na magkita sila sa isang bag. Of course pumaga siya agad.

He knows Rois a lot now. Mas kilala niya pa kaysa sa pagkakakilala ni rois sakaniya sigurado siyang rois won't and if he recognize her? Mag lalaway talaga siya. Who's not, right? Maglalaway siya sa ex girlfriend niyang mas mainit pa sa araw ngayon, mag laway siya dahil she? She will never be his.

Bar that owns by Hunter Montessori.

Ngumiwi siya. "I'm here. Where are you?" Iyon ang inilagay niya sa mensahe niya sa lalake. Inintay niya ang pag reponde nito and when she got his message, nakita niya agad na nasa isang pwesto lang si rois magisa. Tumaas kilay niya na nilapitan ito, the seat was form circle and table in the middle.

Tumayo siya sa gilid, "Rois? Rois Delgado?" Napansin at malakas naman ang boses niya kaya tiyak suyang narinig siya nito, nilingon siya at tumayong titig na titig sakaniya. "You must be Stacy Vern?" nakipag kamay ito sakaniya na nakangiti, she notice the smile on its lips. It's not just a smile. It's a smirk, tila ba may masama itong binabalak sakaniya. Obviously, he has a plan something.

He's gentleman. Never naging ganito si Rois sakaniya kailanman, she never saw it but today. She do saw a difference of rois being his boyfriend and being just a normal one. Well, nilalandi siya nito. Normal is not counted with him, right? Pero iba ang kilos ni rois at makikita mo ang maitim na balak nito sakaniya. Kitang kita naman, tingin palang kita na ang maitim nitong binanalak sakaniya.

Nakangiti siyang naupo sa pwesto nito hindi siya tumabi at naupo siya sa harapan, magkaharap silang dalawa ngayon. She doesn't want to place herself beside him. With some reasons too.

Naramdaman niya na titig ito sakaniya. Matalim ang titig sakaniya, "You seems so familiar with me. I mean before the party, have we met before?"

That's his question.

Nakikilala ba siya nito? Nope. Hindi, ni hindi nga niya matandaan saan sila una nagkita. Saan nga ba sila nagkita na dalawa ni Rois. Oh. It was first year college when she first met him, naging sila three years ago she was twenty twp that time. She clearly remembers, they met because yuri is actually having a secret crush on him.

Naging aso't pusa silang dalawa na palaging nag aaway. She hate him before palagi siya kinukulit. Shit happened three years ago niligawan at sinagot niya agad si rois. That's how they story began with. They are schoolmates, actually.

But he doesn't even remember any single day that they've met. He doesn't remember or even recognize her. He doesn't know that she was the woman he truly and barely give a pain.

Yung babaeng niloko at sinaktan niya? Babaeng minahal siya pero anong ginawa niya? No, he doesn't know about it. But he will know all about her plans. Let's see about that, Rois Delgado.

"So.. you're engage with another woman? What does that means on hitting on me anyways?"

Ngumiwi ang lalake sakaniya. "Oh. I just want to have fun. Why? Is it wrong for me to have fun before being tied up with a woman?" Cheater. Hindi nalang niya aminin kung gaano ka basurang lalake siya? He always cheat. Doesn't even change a fact with that. Both of them are cheaters. Walang pinagbago sa ginawa nila noon sakanila, paano sila manggago.

How cheap. "Oh. Does that qualifies that your fiance is hitting with my husband, too?" Aniya dito.

"What are you saying?" So, hindi niya pala alam? This is way more interesting than anything. Interesting that he doesn't really know anong ginagawa ng fiance niya. Kawawa naman, wala 'man lang siyang alam na may nilalandi ang magaling niyang fiance. Matino? Nope. Never.

Bagay na bagay sila. "You didn't know about that?"

Kumunot ang noo niya. "She was hitting with my husband, Migo Bourne. Another thing? When we are in a date, she was being a bitch. Oh. I never let bitch get on my way and property even her jokes failed with my bitch self. She's maybe a bitch, but I am more bitch that she can do."

"Oh.. strong, I like that."

He licked his lips infront of her at hindi inaalis ang tingin na uminom ng alak nito na nakalapag sa lamesa nilang dalawa. He was sexy. But no, wala ng mas gwapo sa paningin niya kundi si migo lang talaga. Ngayon, her attention and eyes only serve for one person. A man who sees her as her, as a woman and cared for her. But him? He never do anything for her. She doesn't even know if this guy? Love her once before, or maybe play games with her. Baka nga pinaglaruan lang talaga siya noon.

Ng gigigil siya sa galit but she have to control it. It was a passed hours magkasama sila na naguusap sa bar, rois fingers travelled on her legs. Magkatabi na silang dalawa bago pa ito may magawa tumayo siya at naglakad sa hall papasok saan naroon ang mga kwarto, she was there then rois followed her and the next thing she knew, they are making out.

Alam niya gaano kahirap sa lalake lalo na kung init na init silang mabibitin. That's what she do, she actually called migo para sunduin siya accidentally probably he heard him moaning. Her gps was on kaya nakasisiguro siya na alam nito nasaan siya.

Oh, fuck.
