Defending Mr. Billionaire Chapter 113
"F*CK YOU, BITCH!"A loud shout came from Noel's mouth after everyone said the words: ". . . and shot him in his forehead." Kalmado lang itong si Charisse na nakatingin kay Noel habang ang huli ay nagwawala na sa galit. Noel was restrained by the police while he was shouting in anger. "PUTANGINA KA, ANG KAPAL NG MUKHA MO!""ORDER IN THE COURT!""ARREST THAT SON OF A BITCH!" Maging si Charisse ay tumayo na haban dinuduro si Noel na nasa kabilang dulo ng korteng ito. The police beside her also escorted Charisse to calm her down. Lumapit naman sa akin si Jelsey at Agustus para bahagya akong ilayo kay Charisse na nagwawala na rin. "THAT MOTHERF*CKER FRAMED MY FIANCÉ INTO THESE CRIMES!""THAT'S A LIE!""ORDER IN THE COURT!!!" Judge Magnaye pounded her gavel a million times until the crowd stopped exchanging voices. Tila galit na si Judge dahil sinaway na niya kami kanina. Natigil sa pagsigaw sina Charisse at Noel samantalang napaupo na rin ang karamihan sa mga manonood. The police inside t

"I'M BACK, BITCHES!"Hindi na naituloy ni Jelsey ang sinasabi niya dahil may isang babae ang biglang pumasok sa loob ng courtroom. I looked at this woman as she strive the hall with her stunning gown and aura. As expected from her, she never failed to amaze us with her beauty. Napatayo ang lahat ng media at nagsimula silang kuhanan siya ng litrato hindi lang siguro dahil sa ganda niya, kundi dahil sa dahilan kung bakit siya nandito.Imagine, a famous model is involved in the most viral criminal case in Asia right now. She walked at the center, looking unbothered by the simultaneous flashes from the camera until she reached Katerina's position. Severina reached Katerina's shoulder and pulled it to face her. Gulat na gulat si Katerina sa kaniyang nakita at mas lalong nanginig ang kaniyang tuhod. "A-A-ATE SEVERINA—?""My dear sister, how are you?" Isang malakas na sampal sa mukha ang inabot ni Katerina mula kay Severina. Just as expected, those two were sisters, but I wonder what's the p

Napatingin na lang ako sa kawalan dahil sa sinabi ni Jelsey. Yeah, I'm also surprised that Severina's directly involved to the victims of this case, aside from being the private investigator of Sandoval. . . and our friend as well. I kinda anticipated this, though, since she gave me an idea earlier when I caught her with Bright fighting over something. "Did you find out what evidence was she holding?""It's the footage from the hidden cameras of Sandoval's hotel room." Jelsey simply answered, seems like she doesn't have to be surprised for the second time.Napatingin kaming dalawa ni Sandoval sa kaniya dahil sa kaniyang sinabi. "W-What did you say?" Sandoval asked, confused."What do you mean, Jelsey?" I seconded."Naibalik ni Severina lahat ng mga footage na nawala sa mga oras ng krimen. She said it was not manipulated but corrupted. Ibig-sabihin ay walang may kasalanan kung bakit ito nawala. Luckily, she was able to restore it." she said and sip a bit of her hot coffee. It was late

(Author's Note: This chapter will tell us the counsel's narration in their closing statement about Sandoval's alleged case. ITO NA NGA BA ANG TOTOONG KWENTO NG NAKARAAN? Let's go back to the time when the crime happened! This story is from the evidence of Severina Hemsworth.)MR. ANTHONY SANDOVAL'S POV"Agustus, my fiancé told me that she's sad. Will you send her a bouquet of classic red roses as soon as possible? I can't make it this 10:00 am, may meeting pa ako kasama itong board committee. I want to make her happy."Sumagot naman si Agustus, na katawagan ko ngayon, sa kabilang linya. "Yes, Sir, I'll do that. By the way, congratulations, Sir Anthony!"Napangiti naman ako dahil sa pagbati nito. Agustus is very loyal and faithful to me and to the ones who I treasure. "Thank you, Agustus. Wait, where did you know that news?""Sir, it's all over the internet! The CEO of the Rivamonte Hotel has been added to the top five billionaires across Europe and Asia! Last year napasama ka sa lista

It's John Tyler.Tumingin ako sa kaniya't naningkit ang aking mga mata. He instinctively looked at me and smiled, but I knew that it was fake. Sigurado akong may iba na namang tumatakbo sa isip nito.He must be jealous. Palagi naman siyang ganiyan dahil napagagalitan siya ni Chairman Kennedy Villaluna, ang tatay niya. He's always like this because he was being compared to my success and her half-sister, Charisse's popularity. Hindi ko rin siya masisisi pero kadalasan ay pinababayaan ko na lang. Wala naman akong magagawa kung ganiyan ang pamilyang mayroon siya."Congratulations to you and your success, Mr. Sandoval! Your success made our company the most popular in the Philippines." The Chief Administrative Officer said to me and smiled. "Mr. Tyler, would you like to say something?"The COO, John Tyler, stood up and offered his hand for a handshake. "Congratulations, Anthony. Stay alive, alright?"PAGKATAPOS NG MAIKLING salo-salo ay lumabas na rin kami ng meeting room. The board commit

Habang naghahanda pa ng mas maayos na hapunan si Charisse sa kusina ay nag-usap muna kami ni John. Pagkatapos namin kaninang dumaan sa kumpanya niya dahil may kukunin daw siya ay naglaro muna kami ng golf sa isang lugar dito sa Pasig. I recommended that place because I'm regular there. Maayos din ang pagpapatakbo ng lugar na 'yon kaya in-enjoy talaga namin kanina."Isang taon na kayo rito, Anthony. Hindi talaga kayo lilipat?" John started the conversation with a question. Dahil kaunti lang naman ang pina-deliver na pagkain ni Charisse ay agad ko rin itong naubos. Same as with John. We wiped the grease off our mouths with a tissue and relaxed our backs on our seats."I still have a lot of things to finish here in Rivamonte Hotel. Medyo hindi ko pa mahawakan ng maayos ang planong paglipat dahil masyadong busy sa trabaho. Same as with Charisse's vlogging schedule." I answered.He chuckled and scoffed, "Busy sa pagpapayaman?""Sort of." I retorted and laughed. "Well, I need to secure the

It's already 10:00 in the evening, but I still couldn't figure out there problem. Mukhang may problema ang magkapatid na ito pero hindi pa nila nareresolba. Charisse seems to be thinking of a solution to get away with their problem based on her gestures earlier. If one wasn't a keen observer, he will not notice the change in Charisse and John's behavior.Sa tinagal-tagal ko sa pakikipag-negosasyon sa iba't ibang klase ng tao ay natutunan ko nang malaman kung anong ibig-sabihin ng mga kilos nila. Well, it's an art of negotiating and business-mindedness. I'm not the CEO of Rivamonte Hotel and a billionaire businessman for nothing.Ilang minuto lang ang tinagal ni Charisse ay nakabalik na ulit ito sa aming lamesa. Uminom ako ng kaunti habang pinagmamasdan silang dalawa. No one dared to talk so I decided to break the silence. Mukhang magtatagal pa ang usapan namin kahit mauubos na 'yung alak."How was your business, John? Your chemical-and-pharma company?" I asked and took a bit of my des

AUTHOR'S NOTE: IBANG POV NAMAN TAYO SA NAKAAN! ABANGAN!MR. JOHN TYLER'S POVI am so excited to kill Anthony to the point that I can't keep my eyes off from him. Bantay-sarado siya sa akin ngayon dahil ito na ang huling sandali niya rito sa mundong ibabaw, hindi na siya pwedeng makatakas dahil wala nang ibang pagkakataon. What a shame.But, I also thought that he has nothing left to go as long as I'm here because I won't let him go anywhere anyway. Nagpunta na muna akong kusina para samahan si Charisse pagkatapos nitong tawagan ang tagaluto na sinasabi niyang si Maria. Nakita ko namang nagpunta na muna ng kwarto si Anthony para siguro magpalit ng damit.I know many of us know the saying 'two heads are better than one'. Kaya naman pilit kong kinukumbinsi na dapat na naming itumba si Anthony dahil patuloy lang ito sa pagyaman mula sa perang nakuha niya lang naman sa pamilya namin. I stood behind Charisse as I pulled out the bottle of powdered poison that I got earlier from my company. "

OH, SORRY. I've had enough.Nang saktong pagbukas ng elevator ay bigla akong nagsalita nang malakas. The two from behind were shocked and all of the other employees couldn't even move. Si Anthony naman ay nakatingin sa akin at nagulat. "Ah, wait. I forgot to turn off my audio recorder."Humarap ako sa kanilang lahat at matalim na tiningnan ang babaeng makapal ang mukha. Pinaalis na ni Anthony ang ibang nandito sa loob pero hindi niya pinalabas ang dalawang babaeng pinagchi-chismisan ako. Nakatingin lang ito sa amin at tila natatakot sa kung anong pwedeng mangyari sa kanila.Well, as they should. Narecord ko lahat ng mga kasinungalingang ipinakakalat nila. And it's recorded."Aren't you going to say something?" I asked them, still controlling my temper. Dapat lang na mag-sorry sila dahil hindi nakakatuwa ang mga sinabi nila. I usually don't give a fuck lately, but what they have just said pushed me into this. It's not as if I'm going to make them go to jail in an instant. "I mean, I re

"Inagaw niya sa akin si Anthony, ex-fiance ko. Sigurado akong kilala mo 'yon. Kalat na yung gwapo niyang mukha sa buong Asya."Napalunok ako sa sinabi nito. "Wait, inagaw sayo noong Christine na sinasabi mo?"Tumingin lang ito sa akin at natawa. "No, just kidding. As if Anthony became mine. Hindi naging akin si Anthony. He's always thinking about that damn Christine so I became like this. My obsession towards Anthony drove me into this."Huminga ako nang malalim at sinubukang lumapit sa kaniya. Mukha namang hindi siya nananakit kaya sinubukan kong lumapit. She even held my hand and massage it. "May galit ka ba sa kaniya?""Kay Christine?" she said and smiled. Patuloy lang ito sa paghilot sa aking kamay habang nakatingin sa kawalan. I felt like she's been alone here for weeks already. "No, I'm not angry at her at all. Wala naman siyang kasalanan. Kahit si Anthony wala ring kasalanan.""But they still hurt your feelings." I said and caressed her back. Isinandal nito ang kaniyang ulo sa

"I thought we'll be on it." I heard Anthony softly complained and heaved a heavy sigh. He's still cuddling me even though I know that he's a little bit disappointed. Nakayakap din ito sa akin habang ramdam ko ang init ng kaniyang hininga sa kaniyang batok. This moment was kinda romantic even though there's no scented candles around, just the study lamp on the table beside us."Sorry." I said and hugged his arm on me even more. "I'm really not in the mood. Inaantok na rin ako."He chuckled and held my hand. "You must be very tired. I love you. Try to sleep."I really feel sorry because I couldn't make it up to him right now. When we were about to start earlier, I stopped from removing my lungeries and made him just lay down beside me. He was confused at first until I told him that I don't wanna continue anymore. We just cuddled and he agreed.Though, I convinced him.I couldn't help but smile from what he had said. Humarap ako rito't hinalikan siya saglit. We were now facing each other

"No, send that tax receipt to Michelle since she's the tax lawyer. Forget about the other legal matters there. I'm taking care of that right now."After I said that over the phone, I put it down immediately to focus on my tasks. I don't know why they want me to take care of the tax receipts when I'm not the tax lawyer.I now work as the general business lawyer and the contract lawyer of Rivamonte Hotel. Yes, I currently work for Anthony at his hotel. 2-in-1 ang trabaho ko dahil bukod sa kaya ko naman, I have to work double to gain money. Hindi pwedeng puro asa na lang ako kay Mama lalo na kay Anthony.I have to work for my needs. Ilang buwan na lang ang itatagal ng savings ko. Baka umabot sa time na wala na akong maipa-sweldo kina Kuya Caesar at Ate Sising.Kahit na nandito ako sa loob ng bahay ay nakakapag-focus pa rin naman ako sa trabaho. The room beside my bedroom, which was Jelsey's room two years ago, was turned into my home office. Everything was set up, thanks to Ate Sising an

Severina nodded and smiled bitterly while she was looking at her photos on the screen. "This was the consequence that I got after I helped you free Sandoval. Bright warned me about this. This was the piece of information that he kept on using to blackmail me until I spoke the truth to the court room that day. That son of a bitch really destroyed my modelling career.""Si Bright pa rin ba ang nasa likod ng mga ito? Nagsilutangan ulit ang mga litrato mo, Severina." I asked. Napailing-iling na lang ako't iniisip kung ano na lang ang dinanas ni Severina para malagpasan ang mga ito."Who knows? Only God knows if Bright is still the one behind this." Severina answered."Oh my God, I'm s-sorry for not being there with you back then, Severina. . .""You don't have to be sorry, Christine." she told me and held my hand which was on the table. "You did the right thing to free Sandoval. I also did the right thing just like you. The only problem here is the asshole who spreaded this photos from

Napatingin ito sa akin at ngumiti. She looked so shy even though we already met before. "Thank you! Y-You too.""Don't be so awkward in front of her, Katerina." pagsingit muli ni Jelsey pagkatapos humigop ng kape. "It's not as if you did a heinous thing behind our backs.""She must be sorry for what she did two years ago." pagsunod din ni Severina para asarin ang kapatid niya. "Well, triny lang naman niyang ilubog ang pangalan ni Sandoval sa isang bagay na 'di naman talaga niya nakita. What a bitch, right?" tanong nito sa akin.Natawa na lang ako't umiling. "Nakaraan na 'yan, h'wag mo nang asarin masyado ang kapatid mo, Severina" Tumingin naman ako kay Katerina't ngumiti. "It's okay now, Katerina. I heard that you defended yourself from the law suit filed against you two years ago, huh? Noong napatunayan mo namang inosente ka, nawalan na ako ng problema sayo."After I said that, she laughed and hugged me instinctively. Niyakap ko rin ito pabalik tapos pagkatapos ay nag-sorry ulit ito.

Jelsey nodded and went to the bathroom. Umalis na rin si Anthony pagkatapos nitong magpaalam sa akin. Naiwan na ako mag-isa kaya umupo na muna ako sa harap ng office table ni Jelsey.Speaking of Katerina, I haven't seen that girl for years. Pagkatapos ng hearing ni Anthony two years ago ay hindi na ulit kami nagkita. Well, it's understandable since we really don't know each other pretty much. Ang koneksyon lang namin sa isa't isa ay si Severina at wala nang iba.I wonder if I'll also meet Severina today. Ang sabi lang naman ni Katerina ay pumunta kami sa office nila. We didn't know if whose request is this but we have to go because she said it's important. But whatever it is, I hoping that Severina's there so we can have a little chit-chat for a while. Ang huling pagkikita namin ay yung araw na nadischarge ako galing sa hospital. All of us are quiet busy these days so we barely see each other unlike before.After minutes of waiting, Jelsey finally went out of the bathroom after changi

"That was unusual. I never thought that I would see that friend of yours wearing a smile.""We're not friends!" I argued after Anthony said that. "We never became friends.""That's cold." he replied.Nasa office pa rin kami pero lumipat kami ng pwesto. Malaki naman ang office ni Jelsey, lumipat kami sa isang malaking sofa sa harap ng TV. Nakahiga ako habang ang ulo ko'y nasa hita ni Anthony. Si Jelsey naman ay nasa paahan ko, iniinom yung kape niya.Pagkatapos kuhanin ni Jelsey ng kape mula kay Dark ay umalis na agad ang huli. It took me a minute before I moved on from that smile. "What was that behavior, Jelsey? Kailan pa natutong ngumiti 'yon?""Well, that was part of his job." Jelsey replied after taking a sip of her coffee. Kanina, sinubukan niyang utusan si Dark na dalhan din kami ng kape pero hindi ako pumayag. I just want him to get lost from my face. Ayokong bumalik pa siya para dalhan kami ng kape. "When he applied for a job, I asked him to always smile so he could get along

IT WAS ALMOST an hour after we finished eating all the food that were served to us. Pagkatapos naming magpaalam kay Mama ay agad na kaming sumakay ng kotse't nag-drive sa susunod naming pupuntahan. We have so many itineraries today.Though, ayos lang. Minsan na lang din naman ako makalabas ng bahay dahil sa bago kong trabaho."I'm nervous." I told Anthony. Hinawakan nito ang aking kamay habang nagmamaneho siya. "It's been a while since I last saw her.""It's just two weeeks ago, Christine.""It's still long." I argued, looking at him at the rearview mirror.Bahagya lang itong natawa't tinapik ang aking kamay. "Yeah, yeah, I understand you. Unlike those days, you two don't get along together pretty often.""Ahuh, we both seemed super busy right now."Mabilis lang kaming nakarating sa isang malaking building kung saan nakatayo ang pinaka-successful na law firm sa buong Luzon. Pagkapark namin sa unahan ay agad akong namangha sa building na ito. Well, the owner of it was quite famous afte
