Hiding the Billionaires son

Chapter 40: Athrea?

Chapter 40

Damon Point of View

"What now?"

I didn't bother to answer her instead I took a sip on my coffee.

"Snob"

Hindi ko ito pinansin at pinagpatuloy ang ginagawa. I have a new mission again, but it won't take time. Kailangan ko lang na masiguradong wala ng kaalyansa si Allana Sanford. But still theres always a villain at merun akong nakuhang info mula sa intel namin na merun na naman daw gustong magpabagsak kay Ace. Tsk, its not surprising anyway.

"Hey I'm talking to you!"

"I don't ask you to talk to me, Leylie"

She just rolled her eyes, padabog nitong nilapag ang isang brown envelope.

"Ano yan?"

"Kita mo namang envelope diba?"

Nothin' change.

"Anong laman nyan?"

"Wala kang kamay? Ha?"

Inismiran ko ito at binuksan iyun. A folder with so many codes.

"Code iyang pinadala ni Subern, ikaw na raw ang bahalang umayos ng mga iyan. And by the way umuwi na si Athrea"

"Who the fuck that Athrea is?"

"Ahh nevermind ako na ang bahala sa gagang yan, I have to go"

Athrea? Ngayon ko lang narinig ang pangalang iyun. I'm not a mafia emperor just for nothing.

I took my phone and dialed some old helpful friend.

"What makes you call?"

"Tsk too harsh"

"Tsk, wala akong panahon sa mga kagagohan mo Damon. I'm with my wife now"

"Wife?"

I knew him for so long but he didn't even mention a girlfriend and in just a sudden he has a god damn wife?

"Arrange marraige feats business"

This is a problem with business world. Marrying someone whom you didn't even know. Marraige is about love not  business. I don't fucking care anyway.

"I want you to envestigate someone"

"And who is that? Your girl?"

"What the fuck Hunter!"

"Okay! Okay! So who is that?"

"Athrea"

"Athrea?"

"I don't know her surname"

"Okay! Okay thats too difficult, huh."

"Name your price"

"Uhhmm 2 million lang"

Hindi ko na ito sinagot. I have to know whos that Athrea. She seems to be someones past. Hindi ko hahayaang may sirain sya sa kasalukoyan.

KANINA pa aligaga si Samantha, she's still thinking about what the woman said. She's trying to throw is out but she can't. Muli nyang naalala ang librong binigay noon kay Peyton na siyang nawala nito.

Merung  nakasulat roon na...

"Past is always a mistake of the future and the composer of  present"

Ni hindi n'ya iyun na intindihan. That line was too mysterious yet weird. Past! Bakit parang iyan ang dahilan ng lahat? Weird and mysterious! Thats what she knew after what happens.

"Answer your phone"

Kumurap ito at iniling ang ulo, pinilit nyang wag alahanin ang nangyari at sinabi ng manghuhula. She took a deep sigh before she answer the call.

"Kiel?"

"Hello, Sam"

"Ah—Hello, bakit ka pala tumawag"

Their last call history was 1 year ago, subrang tagal na iyun. After their break up they both decided to not call each other its also for their own good. Hindi nya ito blinack, alam nyang magkakaayos din sila, not to be a couple again but be friends.

About the feelings?

Nakalimotan na nya iyun, for Kiel, she don't know. Gusto nya rin itong kalimutan siya nito. She knew he can find someone more than her. The memories are still fresh but those feelings are all gone. Feelings 'yung kalimotan hindi 'yung memories.

Hindi mo makakalimotan ang mga memories na iyun unless you got amnesia. But the feelings? Syempre kaya mong kalimutan, na sa oras na makita mo sya ulit hindi na muling tatambol ng pagkalakas ang pesteng puso mo.

"I call you about the publishing house, gusto ko sanang pumasok as tita Liz said"

"Uhm about that, punta ka ng SC tomorrow, I'll see you there"

Papasok na ko bukas, hindi naman pwedeng hindi diba? I still have to work for my son. Kahit na nandyan na si Ace.

"Okay thank you"

Malaki ang tiwala kong magiging sikat na writer si Kiel. She'll always his number one supporter. Kahit noong sila pa ay suportado na nya ito, siya ang unang nakakabasa ng mga masterpeice nito.

"Come on, Sam, tumawag si Stacy sakin may lunting gusot raw sa kompanya."

Hindi nya ito sinagot, naiintindihan nitong kailangang isingit ni Ace ang trabaho. But somewhat she feel jealous, it should be their family day ngunit kailangang taposin ng maaga dahil sa trabaho.

"Ah okay, La Vega Village mo nalang kami ihatid (sa bahay nila ni Peyton noon)"

Aayosin nya muna ang bahay nila, umuwi na ng probinsya si Clady dahil sa naaksidente raw ang kapatid nito. Buti nalang rin ito, sa bahay na ni Ace sila titira at may mga katulong ito at kailangan din ng pamilya nya si Clady.

"Okay, susundoin ko nalang kayo pagkatapos kung maayos ang problema"

Tumango lang ito. Habang naglalakad sila papunta sa kotse ni Ace ay panay ang kwento ni Peyton. Gusto na raw nitong bumalik ng bahay nila para makita si Lenziey at maging kina Alle.

"Who's Lenziey, son?"

Tumigil si Peyton at hinarap ang ama sakto ring narating na nila ang  kotse nito.

"She's my crush, dad. When I grow uo I want to marry her" lakas loob na pagamin ni Peyton.

Somewhat Samantha feel asame. Buti pa ang anak nito ay malakas ang loob na ipagsigawan ang taong mahal niya, at umamin mismo sa mga magulang. While theres her afraid to confess na baka ayaw sa kanya ng taong mahal.

"You sure with that, son?" Muling tanong ng ama ng makapasok sila ng sasakyan, nasa likod si Peyton habang nasa passenger seat si Samantha at nasa driver seat si Ace.

"I am surely sure, dad"

"Make your promise, son. Don't let someone stole your woman. Wala sa lahi natin ang inaayawan"

Natawa si Samantha sa usapan ng mag-ama. Mukhang alam na nito kung saan nag-mana ang anak.

"Like father like son"

"Susundoin ko agad kayo" wika ni Ace ng marating nila ang tapat ng bahay, tumango si Samantha at sabay nilang pinanuod ang anak na tumakbo papunta sa kalapit na bahay, bahay nina Alle.

"Sige na, baka importante iyun"

Ace nodded and walk toward his car. Tumalikod nalang rin si Samantha ngunit hindi pa man siya nakakapasok sa kabahayanan ay may humatak sa kanya at humalik sa mga labi nito at agad ring tumakbo na aminoy may ginawang kasalanan.

"No other than, Mr. Ace Tyron Sanford the kiss stealer"
