Chapter 5

"Napakasipag mo at pati asawa ko, trinabraho mo rin." nanunuyang litanya ni Sasha sa akin.

Mabuti nalang at kami lang ang naririto sa loob ng opisina, soundproof ang office ni Dad kaya mase-settle sana namin ito ng kami lang.

"Sasha, what are you doing here? In our territory?"

I said to her, standing up to confront her.

"Oh? do you not want the people here to know about your abominable doings?" tugon niya sa akin ng nakangisi.

Sasha is pretty gorgeous herself, with an hourglass body and pale skin, Anyone would mistaken her for a high-class model.

Naglakbay ang mata niya mula sa paa ko hanggang ulo then she snickered.

"You're not beyond my level pero pinatulan ka parin ni Keith, you should consider yourself lucky" nanunuya niyang saad sa akin.

I clenched my fist as I breathed heavily.

"I am done with Keith so why are you bringing this up now?"

What I said made her burst into a chuckle.

"Oh, Dear. Bitch, I knew Keith went to your house...." She whispered right into my ears ng nakalapit siya "Heard that your pregnant but you get abortion, what a disgraced mother, baka matulad rin sayo ang anak mo, kabit----"

Before she could continue babbling, lumagapak sa kanyang mukha ang kaliwa kong palad.

I snapped! I literally snap na hindi ko namalayang, nasabi ko na pala Ang salitang nagpapatunay na hindi Patay ang aking anak

"How dare you talk to my child like that, you filth." I said without remorse. "True, I am Keith's mistress but your anger must and supposed to be only directed to me, how dare you drag my children into this! "

I said as I grab her hair, katulad ko hinila niya rin ang buhok ko, kaya ayun naghilaan na kami ng buhok.

My scalp feels like it's bleeding and it hurts alot kaya i grabbed her hair tightly and pull it even more making her scream.

" You bitch, Let go of me! " She yelled at me still pulling my hair with all of her strength.

"This is what you want?! Then this is what you get, you should've known this when you walked into my office with that dirt of an appearance of yours"

I was raised to fight, bitch, not to be beaten.

"What the fuck is going on?!"

Sasha and I frozed when we heard a voice coming from the door. There, Crown was standing with papers in his hand, his jaw dropped and eyes widened.

"C.... Crown?" I hear her whisper.

I turned my head to Crown, paying no mind to the pain, and yelled at him.

"Motherfucker, quit standing there and help me!"

Guess that wake him up dahil pabalag niyang itinapon sa sofa ang mga papeles at dali dali kaming nilapitan bago niya kami binuwag, Sasha was still persistent and tried to grab my hair again but Crown's stronger than us so her actions where futile.

Matapos niya kami paghiwalayin, Sasha was about to attack me again but Crown acts fast and pushes her making her fall.

Hinampas ko naman si Crown sa balikat dahil sa ginawa niya.

"Ouch, ano ba." reklamo niya pa.

Piningot ko ang taenga niya making him groan.

"Girls hurt girls but boys should never hurt girls, Understand?!" Ani ko sa kanya sa madilim na tono making him nod like a puppy. "Now help her up"

Mabilis siyang lumapit Kay Sasha bago ito tinulungang tumayo, but since it's Sasha, he slapped his hand.

"I don't need your help."

"I wasn't planning to help you, napingot na nga ako ng pinsan ko, eh, kaya kita tinutulungan"

Nakasimangot na saad ng pinsan ko, he was rubbing his hand, to the corner where Sasha slapped him.

" Mabuti ka nga ay piningot ka lang, eh Ako, nasampal. " litanya ni Sasha bago pagpagan ang maxi dress niya.

She then frowned and turns to me.

"Hoy, kabit, layu-layuan mo si Keith, ah"

"Shut up, Sasha" Crown's voice was firm like he's annoyed.

Applicable, Crown is the cousin who wouldn't let me, his princess, gets hurt, except sa part na nilock niya ako sa closet niya.

" 'wag ka ngang makialam, Corona."

I'm sorry.

But I cannot contain myself and laughed, but then stopped when I saw how Crown glares at me.

" Makialam? She's my cousin so typically may pakialam ako, Sasha puting pusha"

Again, i laughed. but stopped when Sasha glared at me, so silently I grabbed my phone, wallet, and bag and silently head towards the door.

"Oo nga, pinsan mo nga, but you're tolerating her, nakakadiri kayo, naging kabit na nga siya, eh."

I frozed. I can feel my anger rising up again, I was about to turn back and grabbed that bitch's blondie hair when Crown's cold and stoic voice echoed into my office.

"I'll handle this, Princess. Go."

I sighed and then nodded without looking at them.

"I'm counting on you to show that bitch who we are, Crown." I said and leave.

I don't know exactly what Crown would do but it seems that he'll do what he wants, I don't care anymore.

How dare she tell me that my family's tolerating me, when in the first place hindi nila alam na naging kabit na ako ng bastardo at malanding lalaking iyon. Nalaman nalang nila ng buntis na ako, I know my mistake, kaya nga umiiwas na ako diba?

But when Sasha appeared kanina, I questioned myself, Where is their child?

But maybe naiwan lang so let's forget about that.

I'm heading down to the parking lot to get my car and maybe drive by a bakery to buy Lev his favorite moon cakes.

But while I was walking down hall, I noticed a familiar car Infront of me, like I've seen that before but don't remember.

Don ko lang nalaman kung sino ang may-ari when he rolled down his window.

It's the motherfucker.

"Hello, Barbara. Are you heading for dinner?" tanong niya pa.

Dinner? Eh, alas dos palang? Sinong tao ang kakain ng dinner, 2 pm?

And wow, 3 hours ba kami ni Sasha nag hilaan ng buhok?

"Barbara?" He asks ng nabantayang natutulala na ako.

I just looked at him and continue walking, But he continue following me making me uneasy.

"Hey, We should go for dinner. I know a good place" He said with a bright smile plastered on his disgusting face.

I just smiled at him fakely before declining "No".

But since his name was Keith Everard Valiente-Ramírez, he did not stop not until I got annoyed.

"Stop following me or else I'll call the police, You creep."

He didn't respond but he keeps following me again.

Annoyed, I grabbed a piece of a rock and then throw it right into his car, it hit the car's glass and cracked.

I became nervous when he stopped Saka lumabas sa kotse bago ineksamin ang salaming nabasag.

"Ahh, My porsche."

Tinubuan ako ng konsensiya kaya bumalik ako.

"It's your fault Naman, but I'll pay you compensation."

I said.

"It's not enough" He said "Why not, have dinner with me?"

I shaked my head.

" No can do, dude. "

My son's waiting.

"Kahit konting oras lang"

"Hindi nga. Just tell me your bank account at babayaran kita."

"Early Dinner then"

"No"

"please?"

"No"

"Kahit tatlumpong minuto lang?"

"No, napakatagal na niyan"

I saw him frown.

I didn't know he was this persistent.

" just this day"

" Sabi Kong ayaw ko eh-----"

" So, I want a A5 wagyu steak and this red wine, please. "

How did I get here?

I was really refusing kanina and then he started guilt tripping and gaslighting me, I got a lump in my conscience so I let him get the best of me.

I'm internally crying.

"Barbara, what would you want?"

He called unto me, the waiter and him was intently looking at me.

So then I grabbed the menu and pick a meal of my choice.

"This grilled pork steak... uh.... rice... I want pineapple juice and then ice cream mochi for dessert."

Bahala na, libre naman diba. Oh don't get me wrong, kahit na namuhay akong may gintong kutsara sa bibig eh, mahilig naman ako sa mga bagay na libre lalo na sa pagkain.

" Oh.. Ok. So we got A5 Wagyu steak and red wine, while ma'am would have a grilled pork steak with rice, pineapple juice for beverage and ice cream mochi for dessert, isn't that correct? " The waiter reciting what he wrote down, I smiled at him and nod.

Keith just nodded and the Waiter excuses himself.

"You smiled at him" panimula ni Keith.

I tilted my head with a questioning look.

Is that a problem for you?

"Uh... Yeah?"

"You don't even do that to me." He said while pouting.

Really, dude?

" Oh, god, Keith. Stop acting like a jealous husband 'cause you're not and hindi bagay sayo. "

I said. 30 minutes of waiting, the meal has arrived. I cannot contemplate myself on how awkward that 'dinner' was.

"By the way, your wife went into my office kanina"

I said in the middle of eating, I felt him stopped.

"Did she do anything to you?"

"No."

Well, naghilaan lang naman kami ng buhok if I must say.

"Oh, just tell me if she does something, I'll deal with her for you."

"No thanks, I can handle it just fine"

"I wish I could put a sperm into your meals so you could get pregnant"

Napaubo ako sa sinabi niya, ano raw?

I was about to confront him when my phone rings, when I look at the name registered in the screen, I picked it up and stand up to leave to answer it 'Baby'.

"You can answer it here, I don't mind. "

I was about to refuse him when he grabbed my hand.

" I insist. " He said darkly.

So I took my call in his presence.

" Baby? "

It's Lev.

" Love, glad you answered right away"

" Baby, what's wrong?" I ask him as I glanced at the Keith Infront of me, who was looking at me while simultaneously stabbing the poor wagyu steak in his plate.

"Love, come home immediately."

"Why? Is something the matter?"

"Sev.... Sev's here in the Philippines"
