Chapter 28

Ethan's POV

"Guys let's play chess". Sabi ko hawak yung chess board na hiniram ko sa lobby ng hotel.

Nasa room kami nila Avery dahil ito ang pinaka-malaking room na nakuha namin.

"No thanks, I don't want to play that boring game". Serene said while looking in her phone.

"I don't know how to play it". Gerard said.

I looked at Avery and Penelope na kumakain ng chips. Hindi man lang ako pinansin.

"Okay, let's play". Natuwa ako nang umayos ng upo si Cairo.

"Hay.. thanks bro, akala ko wala ng papansin sa akin".

He just smiled.

"I won!" I said to Cielo beating him twice in a row.

"You know that I am just messing with you, bro. You can never beat me in this game". Mayabang na sabi nya. Ginulo ko ang buhok nya.

"You wish bro, I am better than you in this game". Akala nya ata papatalo ako sa kanya.

"You know, there's gonna be a time that I will beat you in this game and you will not win a single game, seriously".

Sabi nito habang inaayos yung buhok nya.

"Sus, napakayabang mo talaga".

"What the hell Ethan?! You haven't won a single game. Such a loser!" Natatawang sabi ni Avery sa akin.

Aalis na sana si Cairo pero pinigilan ko sya.

"I'm just messing with him. Bro one more, this time I'm gonna be more serious". Naiiling naman si Avery sa akin at nagtatawanan sila.

"Okay, but remember that you will not win a single game.. seriously".

I stopped for a moment and looked at him. He smiled at me genuinely.

"Ciel?" Tawag ko sa kanya.

Bigla namang natahimik ang lahat at napatingin sa akin.

"Ow sorry. I just missed my bestfriend". Tumango naman ito sa akin.

Ilang minuto ang nakalipas at nacheckmate na nga nya ako. Damn!

Nagring yung phone ko kaya naman nagpaalam akong lumabas muna sandali.

It's from my private investigator.

"What's the news?" I asked seriously.

"Sir, Mr. Augustus doesn't have a son". Napakunot ang noo ko.

"What do you mean, I am with him right now!" Naguguluhan kong tanong sa kanya.

"Sir, Mr. Augustus doesn't even have a family. Kung sino man yang kasama nyo na ipapakasal kay Ms. Serene, it's just a bluff. Gawa-gawa lang iyon ni Mr. Augustus para maisalba ang kumpanya nya mula sa bankruptcy.

I stayed silent for a while.

"Any more news?"

Give me something about Cielo.

"Sir, your bestfriend is alive and---

"Hello? I can't here you-- hello?!"

Biglang naputol yung line sa kabila. Damn!

Papasok na sana ako sa kwarto pero naabutan ko si Cairo sa labas.

Kinwelyuhan ko si Cairo. At tumingin sa kanya ng masama.
