Chapter 46 Cerix's Mother

Matapos akong ma-check ng doktor na kaibigan ni Chaos ay kaagad akong inalalayan ng mga men in black papunta sa rooftop ng hospital kung saan naghihintay ang chopper ni Chaos.

Wala naman akong natamong malalim na sugat. It was just all a scratch from the nails. Namamanhid pa rin ang aking pisngi at pakiramdam ko ay natanggal ang kalahati ng buhok ko sa lakas ng pagkakahila ng Mommy ni Ansel sa buhok ko.

I was just glad that my baby isn't in danger. The doctor even said that I must rest pagkarating ko sa isla. Malakas man ang kapit ng bata sa akin pero kailangan ko pa ring mag-ingat dahil baka sa susunod ay posible na akong makunan.

I was so careless. Sobrang tanga ko na lumabas pa ako. This is all my fault. Kung hindi lang sana ako lumabas ng unit hindi naman ako magkakaganito ngayon e. I was just too hardheaded.

"Huwag po kayong umiyak, Ma'am. I think it is better for you to rest, first. Baka kasi kami ang mapatay ni Boss kapag may mas masama pang mangyari sayo, Ma'am."

They give me a pillow and a piece of cloth to somewhat cover me. Nahiga ako sa aking inuupuan. The chopper is spacious. Ang inuupuan ko ay mahaba naman kaya sapat na siguro 'to para makapag-pahinga ako kahit konting idlip lang.

"H-hindi ba ako mahuhulog dito?" mahinang tanong ko pa.

Ngumiti naman ang isa sa kanila at umiling. "The boss just signalled us to drive slowly para makapag-pahinga po kayo ng maayos. Don't worry, Ma'am, hindi ka po maaalog."

Nakahinga naman ako doon ng maluwag kaya nahiga na ako ng tuluyan.

Maybe I was really tired that I immediately fell asleep as soon as my head came in contact with the pillow. Hindi ko alam kung ilang oras akong nakatulog. Basta nagising nalang ako nang maramdaman ang dahan dahan naming paglapag.

"W-we're here?" paos kong tanong. Kinusot ko pa ang aking mga mata at inilibot ang tingin sa paligid. Kitang kita ang tanawin sa may bintana ng chopper. The place is not familiar, pero sigurado naman ako na nasa isang isla nga kami dahil naririnig ko ang tunog ng paghampas ng tubig dagat sa dalampasigan.

"Yes Ma'am. Sir Cain is waiting for you outside, Ma'am."

Parang pumalakpak ang aking tainga sa sinabi ng lalaki. Kaagad kong tinanggal ang kumot sa aking katawan at tumayo. Nakabukas na ang pintuan kaya mabilis akong nakalabas. Pero bago pa man ako tuluyang nakatapak sa buhangin ay may bumuhat na sa akin.

I was greeted by his warm lips. My eyes immediately closed. His arms were possessively surrounding my waist. I encircled my arms around his neck as I savour his sweet warm lips on mine. He pushed his tongue inside to explore my mouth. His kisses is gentle but hot. It's like, he wanted to be aggressive, but stopped himself from doing so.

Maya maya ay narinig ko ang mahihina nitong mura na nagpamulat sa akin. There, I was greeted by his deep set of sapphire blue eyes. It was so lovely that I think I could just look at it forever.

"Baby... Damn it. I fucking missed you, love." He pecked my lips again causing me to pout. I felt his hands slowly massaging my butt so I immediately frowned at the man. He just laughed bago ako ibinaba.

"Is everything okay?" baling nito sa kaniyang mga tauhan. Niyakap ko naman ito habang patuloy na nakikinig sa usapan nila ng kaniyang tauhan.

Saka ko lang naalala na iniligtas pala ako nito. He wasn't there. He wasn't present at all, but he was still able to protect me and his child. Nasaktan man pero hindi ako sobrang napurohan. Niligtas niya ako samantalang wala akong ibang ginawa kundi ang ignorahin ang mga tawag at texts nito. I'm such a baddie, isn't? I am really am bad for doing that to him.

Hindi ko napigilan ang sariling mapaiyak nang maalala ang ginawa kong katangahan. I admit it. I was really careless. Alam ko namang delikado sa akin ang lumabas, and yet, ginawa ko pa rin. For what? For my own useless reason.

"Hey, hey, love? Calm down, okay? Stop blaming yourself baby please. Stop over thinking. The most important thing for now is you and our baby are home safe and sound, okay? You need to rest and stop thinking too much. I love you." Mas lalo akong napahikbi sa sinabi nito. Hindi ko na napigilan pa si Chaos nang buhatin ako nito at dalhin sa nag-iisang mansyon dito sa isla.

"Where is this place?" I asked.

"This is our island. Just beside Isla Azulah Verde. This is exclusively our property as well as the mansion."

Our.

Tumango lang ako sa sagot nito at humilig sa kaniyang dibdib. Maybe I was really too tired that I fell asleep while he was carrying me. I was awakened by a loud thump somewhere. Kasunod nun ay ang sigawan ng kung sino.

Nangunot ang noo ko at kaagad na bumangon.

I groaned when my stomach let out a loud growl. Gutom na gutom na siguro ang anak ko kaya siya na mismo ang gumising sa akin.

Pagkalabas ko ng kwarto ay mas lumakas ang sigawan. Mukhang nanggagaling ito sa ibaba, sa may living room banda.

"You fucking calm down Stephannie and do not shout!" my eyebrows furrowed when I heard Chaos' hushed but angry voice. Mukhang galit na galit ito sa kausap pero pinipigilan lang ang sarili na sumigaw.

"At bakit, ha?! Because you are hiding your whore here?! Where's your fucking slut, Cain?! Where?!"

"Shut the fuck up and do not call her the names that only fucking suits you! She is way far from you, Stephannie! She's a decent woman while you are a fucking nonsense!"

Stephannie? The name is quite familiar. Where did I heard it... really.

Dahil sa matinding kuryoso ko ay bumaba na ako ng hagdan. At hindi ko lubos inisip na makikita ko ngayo I sa harap ko ang... ang babae ni Ansel, dito pa ngayon mismo sa mansyon ni Chaos...

Kunot noo akong lumingon kay Chaos. I expected him to explain to me but he just shook his head.

"So you are here, pala?!" Napalingon ako kay Stephannie. Stephannie Grant. Who is she and why is she here?

"Putangina ka! Hindi ka lang manloloko, mang-aagaw ka pa! Inagaw mo na sa akin ang anak ko pati pa si Cain! At ngayon, mag-kakaanak pa kayo, ha? Ang kapal nga naman ng mukha mong malandi at makati kang ba—Shit!"

Napasinghap ako nang bigla nalang itong bumagsak sa sahig dahil sa ginawa ni Chaos. Tuluyan akong bumaba at hinawakan ang ang kamay ni Chaos na ngayon ay nakakuyom na.

He... He slapped Stephannie.

"I fucking don't hit women, Stephannie. But I will fucking give an exemption to you for spitting out lies to the woman I love. You can talk shit about me, but not her. You and that bastard have done enough damage to her. Now, it is MY damn time to make a move and settle this shit all by myself for her. If that takes ruining your filthy image, then I'll fucking will for her. So don't ever call her dirty words that was meant for you."

Stephannie Grant is the mother of Cerix? H-how?
