Banquet 9: Ruthless Moves

The man dropped his mouth in surprise. "Your... your what?"

"This is Devi Miller, My fiancée," said Hugo, as if he was so sure about it.

"Really? You are going to get married?" the man was still in shock, then he looked in Cody's direction. "Cody, is it true, that she's your boss's fiancée?" hindi pa s'ya nakuntento at tinanong n'ya rin ang nananahimik na si Cody.

Cody then nodded. "Yes, sir Lucca. She is the boss's future wife."

Devi was speechless. All of a sudden, she was immediately going to be a future wife to the strangers.

"Oh huh! The sought-after bachelor, Hugo Ivanov is finally going to settle down. Wow, what a big news." Lucca was startled.

Devi pressed her forehead, bago pa s'ya makapagsalita ay may masuyong braso ang humili sa kanya at inakbayan s'ya nito. She looked up and she saw Hugo slightly smiling at her.

"You..."

"Honey, this is Lucca Bozzelli, one of my colleagues and at the same time, my business partner," Hugo introduced Devi and Lucca.

Quick, quick, her head is bleeding!" natarantang sigaw ni Devi sa mga tao sa paligid.Napatingin naman agad si Lucca at Hugo sa ulo ng babae, at nakita nga nilang may dugo sa ulo nito."Let me carry her!" Lucca said to Devi.Binitawan naman ni Devi si Xillin sa mga braso ni Lucca. Naramdaman na lang niya ang maingat na paghila ni Hugo sa kanya patungo sa katawan nito."No—""Let me handle this, okay?" Hugo's gentle voice was heard above her head.Devi didn't speak, she just looked at Lucca gently carrying Xillin. Narinig ni Devi nang tinawag ni Hugo si Cody at ang ibang tauhan nito. Hindi na niya iyon pinakinggan at napatingin na lang s'ya sa dalawang lalaki na duguan.Devi feels guilty about what happened to Xillin.

He also followed Lucca to get some information about Xillin's condition for Devi.The doctor started his diagnosis review, and the two of them listened."As of now, I can say that Ms. Smith is out of danger. The bleeding of her head came out from her scalp. As you said Mr. Bozzelli, Ms. Smith was unconscious when you found her with her head injury. As I viewed her head x-ray, her head on both sides was fine. But on her left side, although it was fine, she got a wound that caused the bleeding. I'm sure, Ms. Smith's head hit with a hard object, just like a wall, or a big rock.""How did that happen if you didn't see any injuries in her body? Kung hindi siya nakipaglaban o nanlaban why did she get hit in the head?" Lucca was curious about Xelestine case. Lalo at may dalawang lalaki na naroon sa lugar kung saan nila ito nakitang walang

    Devi's PhobiaHugo returned to the E.R. treatment area. Napasukan niyang ginagamot ng doctor ang mga namuong dugo sa kaliwang paa ni Devi, habang ang isang doctor naman ay ginagamot ang namamaga na kanang paa nito.Agad kumunot ang noo ni Hugo habang nakatitig sa mukha ni Devi.Devi at that time was in pain. Nakataas ang isang braso nito na walang pasa at sugat sa kanyang noo habang nakapikit at nakakagat-labi ito na wari'y tinitiis ang sakit na kanyang nararamdaman.Hugo comes near Devi's bedside. "Will you treat her wounds gently?"

    CheaterAfter Devi's treatment, doon pa siya nakahinga at bumitaw sa pagkakayakap niya kay Hugo. Ngunit halos naman nanghina ang buong sistema niya sa mga pangyayari.Hugo glared at her. Pinunasan nito ang mga pawis niya sa noo't mukha at ginamit pa nito mismo ang kanyang panyo, habang si Devi naman ay nanghihinang napasandal sa headboard ng E.R. bed."Are you fine? What do you want?" Hugo asks in a concerned tone."Water please," Devi said in a hoarse tone.Tumalima naman si Hugo at inabot ang bottled water na inaabot ng nurse rito. He opened it and gave it to her.Devi immediately gulped the water, while Hugo talked to the Doctor to arrange a private ward for her. Narinig iyon ni Devi at hindi na siya tumutol pa dahil nandoon pa si Xillin sa hospital na iyon, at isa pa hindi pa siya makakalakad ng tuloyan sa kanyang kalagaya. Kung magmamatigas siyang umuwi upang magpahinga, hindi naman niya maatim na iwanan si Xillin kay Lucca or kay Hugo. Also, she did not know how to go home with h

I'm injured right now and I need you." she said.Alice was choked at the other end of the line. "W-what happened to you, boss? A-are you okay?" Alice immediately sounds worried."I'm fine, but I need you. Quickly, book your ticket now.""Sure boss. Expect me there tomorrow at the latest. Oh, remember, give me your exact location.""Alright," Devi said and hung up."Who was that?" Hugo asks as soon as Devi finishes the call.Nagtaas ng kilay niya si Devi.

    Pulled DownDevi woke up at exactly 7:00 o'clock in the morning. Unti-unting siyang nagbukas ng kanyang mga mata at ang una at agad na nabungaran niya ay si Hugo na nakaupo sa sofa habang ginagalaw nito ang kanyang balikat at leeg."You're awake?" Hugo said and reached the water beside the table and came near her. "Here, drink some water."Nakaugalian na ni Devi na uminom ng tubig pagkagising niya tuwing umaga. Kaya inabot niya iyon and she was satisfied because the water that Hugo gave her was warm."Thank you, good morning," Devi said and slowly sipped the water."How are you feeling? How is your foot?" tanong rito ni Hugo.Biglang naalala ni Devi kung bakit s'ya na admit sa sa hospital na iyon. Napatingin s'ya sa kanyang mga paa na parehong may bandage. Iginalaw niya iyon ng bahagya. "As usual, I can't walk for a day," she said."Of course, you can't.

    Watching A Battle"You?" Alice shows her disappointment in an instant.Hindi akalain ni Alice na ang nasa blurred na larawan ay ganoon pala ang mukha. Para sa kanya, mas okay na lang na hindi niya nakita ang mukha ng isang Hugo Ivanov.Cody frowned. Sa nakikita niya sa expression ng babae ay para itong nadismaya."Ikaw si Hugo Ivanov? What a joke!" Alice still sounds and looks disappointed.Mas lalong kumunot ang noo ni Cody. 'Maganda sana, pangit naman ng ugali!' he thought while looking at the woman."Oh my god. Walang taste si Boss," Alice said and facepalm. "Sabi nila sa labas gwapo ka? Sus, parang 50 over 50 naman." Alice continues to mock Cody.Cody's jaw clenched.

    After Ten HoursAlice instantly shuts her mouth. Dahil may ugali pa naman ang boss niya na totohanin ang bawat sinasabi nito. Takot lang niya rito.Cody at the side wants to chuckle. Akala kasi niya hindi natatakot kay Devi ang assistant nito na tinawag sa pangalang 'Alice'.'Alice pala huh?'"Let me correct you," suddenly, Hugo spoke. "I am not your boss's boyfriend, I am her fiancé instead."Alice was stunned and instantly surprised. Nanlalaki ang mga mata nitong tumingin kay Devi. "Boss, is it true?"Devi's lips twitched. She pressed her forehead as if she was having a headache. "If you three don't stop talking, you can get out and talk outside!" Devi says in a low but clear tone.Hugo cleared his throat. "Cody, go now and drag this woman with you." segunda naman ni Hugo.Alice frowned and took a look at her boss. "Boss, I came along here. Since last night I had no proper sleep and haven't eaten yet because I was very worried about you. I am also very tired of getting here a.s.a.p.

She didn't think her husband questioned her pregnancy like that. "You mean, how did it happen? Of course, you are always active in bed. So, pinaghihinalaan mo na hindi sa'yo ang bata?" she feels angry with Hugo's reaction. She slowly unclasped her hold on his neck.Hugo immediately explains and tightens his hold on Devi's waist. "Don't get it wrong, honey. I mean, how come, I've always been careful most of the time. How come we produce a baby in an instant?" Hugo gently explained."Oh, it's a babies." Devi corrected him."What do you mean, babies?" nagtatakang tanong ni Hugo rito."Twins. There's two little creatures in my womb." Devi smiles while saying it.Hugo was dumbfounded.

Pero natapos na lang ang ring ng hindi pa nito sinasagot ang tawag niya.Mas nangunot ang noo ni Hugo. As he remembered, Devi usually picks up his call after three to five rings. He placed down his phone.All of the people around their hearts skipped a beat when Hugo's eyes looked at them. Hugo is about to speak when his phone rang.

"Are you okay?""Yuh, I'm fine. I'm in the middle of the meeting when you call me that's why I didn't answer your call.""Mom told me to check you. Are you not feeling well?""Hey, I'm fine."Hugo frowned. "Sure?""Yuh.""Hm..." Hugo is not convinced. Hindi naman siya tatawagan ng ina niya kung hindi ito nagsasabi ng totoo.

Ava, my gynaecologist friend, confirmed it this morning when I brought Devi with me for a check-up. It happened that I suspected Devi's pregnancy without her knowing.
