Enticing Series 2: Trouble Chapter 17
Clea Mair’s Pov“So? What are we going to do now?” I asked him as we ate the ice cream that he bought before coming here on the rooftop of the hotel where we had our dinner.We went here to spend more time together without anyone seeing us. As much as possible, we want to keep what we have private. Even just for now.Well, maraming tao sa paligid namin ang siguradong makikialam sa kung ano ang mayroon kami kapag nalaman nila na nagiging malapit kami sa isa’t-isa. Kaya mas mabuti na muna ito.We will not keep it secret, but we will definitely keep it private.“Your brother just threatened you to finally continue our wedding agreement just to get you back home,” I added. “Can you do something to him?”He nodded. “I can come up with a lot of ways to handle my brother and make him an accomplice to ensure both of our freedom longer but the price to pay is higher than usual,” he said. “He is not exactly the type of person that you could call nice.”“What does it mean?”“He is a cunning man

Andrel Raven’s POV“You look like an idiot, Boss.”Masamang tingin ang ibinato ko kay Leon na siyang naghihintay sa akin sa parking lot kung saan naka-park ang sasakyan ko.Since Clea wanted to keep us private for a while, she suggested that we shouldn’t let anyone see us together. Sang-ayon naman ako sa ideya niyang iyon kaya inihatid ko na lang siya sa kotse niya na iniwan niya sa Henan Port.When I ensured that she safely got out of the premises, I sent someone to look after her without getting suspicious to make sure that she would get home safely.“You got hit hard by cupid, huh?” Umiling-iling siya at binuksan ang pinto ng kotse. “You are clearly attracted to her, there is no doubt about that.”Sumakay ako sa backseat habang siya ay sa driver’s seat at agad itong pinaandar.“So? What are you going to do now?” he asked. “She is your brother’s fiancee. His ministers choose her for a reason so he also doesn’t have any choice regarding that arranged marriage. Only you can stop that

Clea Mair’s POV“Are you sure about this, Dad?” I asked Dad to confirm what he just told me.He called me early in the morning and told me that something was going on about the marriage agreement that my family arranged for me.“Yes, sweetheart,” Dad said. “It has been two years since the Reveni Empire chose you to become the bride of their emperor. But it was put on hold because of the power struggle that has been happening there.”I am aware of that.May dalawa din kasing faction ang nabubuo ngayon sa palasyo ng Reveni Empire. Ang isa ay ang sumusuporta sa magiging kasal ko sa pamilya Henan habang ang isa naman ay pilit hinaharang ang kasal na iyon.I heard those ministers don't really like everyone from our family so they keep encouraging their emperor to choose another bride.They asked for enough time to settle that matter. That is why I got this freedom.“The elders were already losing their patience and wanted to withdraw from this agreement to marry you off with someone else,”

Clea Mair’s POV“It was you, right?” Iyan ang isinalubong ko kay Andrel nang pumasok siya sa VIP room ng isang restaurant kung saan napagkasunduan naming magkita para maglunch. “You talked to your brother.”Ngumiti siya at hinawakan ang magkabilang balikat ko tsaka hinalikan ang pisngi ko. “Hi, baby,” aniya. “How is your day?” “Andrel!”“Let’s sit first, okay?” Hinila na niya ako at magkatabi kaming naupo. “To answer your question, yes. I immediately went back home last night after we met and I talked to my brother. We agreed to hold his pursuit of taking me home and made him deal with the marriage agreement with you.”“Oh my god!” I exclaimed. “You surely move fast about this, huh? And your brother even gave me a lot of freedom for the whole two years. Even involving other guys.”Nanlaki ang mga mata niya. “What?”I nodded. “Hindi mo alam iyon?”“I only told him to hold off on the wedding as long as he can,” he answered. “Nothing more than that since I know he will use that to take

Andrel Raven’s POV“Sigurado ka na talaga sa desisyon mong ito, Boss?” tanong sa akin ni Leon matapos naming ihatid si Clea sa tapat ng apartment niya. “You already did your all just to avoid getting involved with that woman for two whole years. Yet, all your efforts were wasted just because she got close to you because of her job.”“I avoided her because the Azaria Clan has been keeping their eyes on her,” I said. “Well, not that I care what they can do to me but I was just sure back then that they would take her back to the palace if she ever got involved with me back then.”I knew Clea Mair when I arrived in this country seven years ago. But I never had a chance to see her in person since she was kept away by her family.I was curious about her but I never bothered to learn anything about her. For me at that time, she was just a sheltered princess.Well, not until I got her profile from the list of bride candidates for my elder brother. That was the first time I saw her, even just

Clea Mair’s POV“Ahm…” I turned to Andrel as the car that he was driving entered the parking lot of a high-end mall not far from my apartment. “What are we doing here?”We just exchanged contact last night and earlier, he called me to ask for my schedule for the whole day. I told him that I don’t have work today and that is when he invited me to hang out with him.Hindi niya sinabi kung saan kami pupunta. Hindi na din ako nagtanong at hinayaan na lang siyang mag-drive nang sumakay ako sa kotse niya.“You never had a chance to go to a mall since you left the palace, right?” he said. He parked his car in a VIP spot so I assume that he usually goes here. “It is a good place, they have a lot of great stuff that you might like.”“I am not sure about that.” I took out my seatbelt and was about to turn my head back to the driver’s seat but he had already gotten out of the car and went around to open the door beside me. I smiled and got out of the car. “Thank you.”Sinarado na niya ang pinto

Clea Mair’s POVIt has been a week since I last saw Andrel. The last time we hung out was when he brought me to the mall and we shopped for the things that we were going to use in a party that we would be attending.He got caught up with his job and had to take care of a lot of things in his port since most of his ships were scheduled to return from cruising around the world.And it stopped us from seeing each other. But he never forgot to call me. Especially in the morning just to remind me not to skip breakfast and wish me to have a nice day.He was also sending me lunch to ensure that I was eating right. And he would call at night again to ask about my day until we got to say goodnight to each other.We might not see each other for the whole week but he was giving a lot of effort just to keep his presence around me. And I really appreciate him for doing that.“Andrel?” Nanlaki ang mata ko nang makita siyang nakatayo sa labas ng apartment ko. “Anong ginagawa mo dito?”Ngumiti siya a

Clea Mair’s POVAndrel was right.Ang pagbagsak ng angkan ko ang nag-iisang paraan upang hindi matuloy ang kasal ko sa emperador ng Reveni Empire nang hindi nawawala sa akin ang kalayaan ko.At alam kong may kakayahan siyang gawin iyon kung gugustuhin niya.Kung tutuusin ay wala namang natatagong yaman ang mga Azaria. Kung anuman ang mayroon kami ay hindi kailanman maipapantay sa kung anong kayamanan mayroon ang malalaking pamilya na nasa bansang ito tulad ng mga Dahlia.Kaya hindi imposible para ka Andrel na pabagsakin ang angkan ko. May tulong man ng mga kapatid niya o wala. Lalo na’t orihinal na parte ng Reveni Empire ang lupain na ito na inagaw lang naman ng angkan ko.“I never thought you were going to take such a big risk…”Bumaling ako kay Miracle na nakatayo ngayon sa pintuan ng kwarto na tinutuluyan ko dito sa bahay niya.Ngayong gabi magaganap ang party na dadaluhan ni Andrel kung saan isasama niya ako bilang date niya. At kahapon pa lang ay narito na kami nang sa gayon ay m

Clea Mair’s POVTulad ng inaasahan ko, agad akong pinatawag sa palasyo ng aking ama. At ang unang bungad sa akin ng mga magulang ko nang magkita kami sa opisina nila ay ang tungkol sa kumakalat na balita tungkol sa kaugnayan ko kay Andrel Henan.“Hindi man ipinapakita ang mukha mo sa mga pictures na nagkalat sa internet, posible ka pa ding makilala ng mga nakaharap mo na ng personal,” sambit ni Mommy habang nakatitig sa mga pictures namin ni Andrel na nakakalat sa table na nasa pagitan namin.“Alam ba ng nakatatandang Henan ang tungkol sa ugnayan niyo ng kapatid niya?” tanong ni Daddy na agad kong tinanguan. Nanlaki ang mga mata niya at napatayo pa sa kanyang upuan para tumabi kay Mommy. “Alam niya?”“Yes, alam niya,” ulit ko. “Kaya nga binigay niya ang mga kondisyon na iyon sa kalayaan ko dahil alam niya ang pagiging malapit ko sa kapatid niya.”“May consent mula sa kanya ang paglalapit niyo?”Muli akong tumango. “Hindi ko alam kung ano ang usapan nila ni Andrel pero bago kami tuluya
Enticing Series 2: Trouble Chapter 40
Clea Mair’s POVDahan-dahan kong iminulat ang mga mata ko at ang unang bumungad sa akin ay iba sa inaasahan ko.Akala ko ay dadalhin ako ng mga taong dumukot sa akin sa isang lugar na hindi pamilyar sa akin matapos nila akong patulugin.Ngunit nagising lang ako sa sarili kong kama.Bumangon ako at agad napahawak sa ulo ko nang makaramdam ng kirot. Base sa bilis ng pagkawala ng malay ko, siguradong mataas na klase ng pampapatulog ang ginamit sa akin kaya hindi na nakakapagtaka kung bakit ganito din kasakit ang ulo ko.Damn! Just who the hell did that to me?Akma na akong babangon nang agad akong matigilan dahil sa biglang pagbukas ng pinto ng kwarto ko at nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang makita si Andrel na may bitbit pang tray na naglalaman ng pagkain.“Andrel?”Ngumiti siya at inilapag sa side table ang dalang tray tsaka naupo sa gilid ng kama. “Kamusta ang pakiramdam mo?”“W-what happened?” tanong ko. “I mean, someone kidnapped me, right?”Tumango siya.“And?” Kinuha ko ang phone ko at

Andrel Raven’s POV“Boss!” Leon, together with Asahina, entered my office. Buhat nila ang isa sa tauhan na inatasan ko para magbantay kay Clea habang hindi kami magkasama.Puno ng sugat at pasa sa buong katawan nito at bakas ang matinding panghihina.Inilapag ito nila Leon sa sofa at agad na tinawagan ang company doctor namin.“What the hell happened?” Agad kong chineck ang kundisyon nito. Bagaman malalim ang mga sugat at nasisiguro ko namang mabubuhay pa siya.Mahigpit siyang humawak sa braso ko. “Si…” Huminga siya ng malalim. “Si M-miss Clea, B-boss. S-someone took her.”Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. “W-what?”Shit!Kababalik lang namin mula Yain City tapos ganito na ang bungad sa ami. Am I too late to control the situation regarding the rumors circulating around me and Clea?Did I put her in trouble?Damn it!I know that this situation is not impossible in the line of my work. Sooner or later, we are destined to face this trouble. But I thought I had already taken all necessary precauti

Clea Mair’s POV“Have you heard the latest rumor?” Bumaling ako kay Lenon nang pumasok siya sa office ko.Kakabalik lang namin ni Andrel mula Yain City. Dito na niya ako dineretso sa office dahil naisipan kong pumasok ng maaga ngayon para matapos ang lahat ng kakailanganing tapusin.At heto nga ang bungad sa akin ng secretary ko. Mukhang chismis ang gusto niyang almusalin ngayon.“What rumor?”Inilapag niya muna sa mesa ko ang mga dalang papeles at naupo sa katapat kong upuan. “The famous CEO of Henan A.R. Lines, Mister Andrel Raven Henan, is finally settling down.”Kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya. “What? What do you mean?”Tumangu-tango siya at umakto na para bang kinikilig sa balitang nasagap.Andrel has a lot of admirers in and out of the country. He was like a celebrity and people have always been intrigued about his life. They have been following every news story about his life which is why he is known quite a bit playboy back then.And they never talk bad about him. They treat

Andrel Raven’s POV“Boss…” tawag sa akin ni Leon paglabas ko ng silid kung saan mahimbing nang natutulog si Clea. “We already prepared everything.”Tumango ako at nauna nang lumabas ng penthouse.Agad naman siyang sumunod sa akin hanggang tuluyan kaming makarating sa labas ng hotel kung saan naghihintay ang sasakyan ko.Sumakay kami doon at mabilis itong pinaandar papunta sa destinasyon ko.“Na-inform na namin ang Rioghail sa sitwasyon, Boss,” sambit ni Quiel na nagmamaneho ng sinasakyan namin. “They only send Dashyu to observe.”I couldn’t help but massage my temple as I heard that name. “Just him?”Tumango siya. “Iyon lang naman ang lagi nilang pinapadala kapag may problema dito sa Yain City dahil mas madalas siyang nandito.”Sa dinami-dami ng tauhan ng Rioghail, ang lalaking iyon pa ang ipinadala para i-observe ang interegation na gagawin namin para sa kung sinong grupo ang nagtangkang magdala ng gulo dito sa Yain City.Rioghail and my group are not friends. As much as possible, we

Clea Mair’s PovI enjoyed hanging out with Maya and Cheya. Kahit na puro pagkain lang naman ang inatupag namin sa buong maghapon.Parang hindi nabubusog ang dalawang iyon dahil maya’t-maya ang aya sa akin na bumili ng pagkain.Ilang food park ang pinuntahan namin at bawat dish na bago sa paningin at pandinig nila ay agad nilang tinitikman.At habang namamasyal kami sa time square sa plaza ng Yain City, napagkwentuhan namin kung paano nila nakilala si Andrel.“Andrel was our brother’s best buddy when he started venturing into this city,” Maya said.Naupo muna kami sa isang bench na nasa tapat ng malaking fountain dito upang makapagkwentuhan habang kumakain ng ice cream.“And we got introduced to each other when he launched his first business here,” she added.“We were actually scared of him when we first met him,” sambit ni Cheya.Kumunot ang noo ko. “Dahil intimidating ang dating niya?”Umiling sila.“We heard a lot of bad things about him from our brother’s bodyguard,” sabi ni Maya. “
Enticing Series 2: Trouble Chapter 35
Clea Mair’s POVJust like what the twins planned, we visited food parks around the area since we only had limited time for the day and we had so much fun trying every new dish we saw in each stall there.May ilan pa nga doon na pumayag na ibigay sa akin ang recipe ng dish nila kaya siguradong magiging abala ko pagbalik sa apartment ko.Nang mabusog ay nagdesisyon na ang dalawa na dumeretso kami sa SweetHearts para kumain ng desserts. Inalis na nila sa plano ang pagpunta sa bar dahil kaunting oras na lang ang mayroon kami bago bumalik sa hotel.“Woah,” manghang sabi ni Cheya nang makapasok kami sa loob ng SweetHearts.Wala masyadong tao ngayon, siguro ay dahil office and school hours.Pero hindi ko inaasahan na makikita dito si Asper Dahlia. Tahimik siyang nakaupo sa counter at nagtutupi ng tissue habang ang kasama niya sa loob ng counter ay agad na tumayo para asikasuhin sina Cheya at Maya na lumapit doon.Kilala niya ako. Ilang beses na kaming nagkaharap dahil madalas siyang ipatawag
Enticing Series 2: Trouble Chapter 34
Clea Mair’s POV“Clea!” Mahigpit na yakap ang sinalubong sa akin ni Cheya nang makarating kami sa hotel kung saan kami tutuloy.Sinabi ni Andrel na isang linggo nang nasa Yain City ang kambal. They are originally from Wilde City and they planned to relocate here because of business opportunities. And now, they are already in the process of opening their very first owned bar.“I missed you so much.” She sounded like a kid who hadn't seen her mother in a very long time. “Mabuti naman at dinala ka na dito ni Andrel.” Kumalas siya ng yakap sa akin. “Akala ko ay matatagalan ka pa bago makabalik.”“I heard you pestered Andrel just for him to take me back here,” natatawa kong sabi at bumaling kay Maya na nasa gilid namin. “You should have called me.”“We didn’t know your schedule so we were reluctant to contact you,” sagot niya. “Ayaw naman namin na makaabala sayo.”“Yeah,” bulong ni Leon nakatayo sa tabi ni Andrel. “Kaya ako ang inaabala niyo.”Nag-iwas ng tingin ang kambal nang bigyan sil
Enticing Series 2: Trouble Chapter 33
Clea Mair’s POVI got back from my normal routine since my parents didn't really want me to get involved with what was going to happen at the palace.Isa pa, wala din naman akong maitutulong sa kanila.Maliban sa wala akong hawak na kahit anong impluwensya ay mahirap nang makuha ang atensyon ni Hector. Sa pagiging immature ng kapatid kong iyon, siguradong iisipin niya na pinagtutulungan namin siya ni Miracle na posibleng magresulta ng kontra sa inaasahan namin.Kaya nagpo-focus na lang ako sa sarili kong buhay.“Are you free tonight?” Andrel asked as soon as I answered his call.“Hmm. Wala naman akong ibang plano after work hours,” sagot ko. “Do you want to hangout later?”“Pack some clothes for the whole weekend. I’ll pick you up later at your apartment.” sabi niya na ikinakunot ng noo ko.“Should I file for a leave?” I asked. “Where are we going?”Saglit siyang hindi sumagot pagkuwa’y narinig ko ang pagbuntong hininga niya. “Cheya has been bothering me to bring you back to Yain City
