"I DON'T AGREE with this, Hellion Drixton." His father's voice boomed in his office.
"Frigus, calm down. Let hear his side." Pagpapakalma ng Mommy niya rito.
"No, wife. There's no valid reason to justify his decision. Walang bastardong Benjamin!" Galit na saad ng ama niya.
"Dad--"
"I think, his future son will not be a bastard if he marry Ivy." Suhestiyon ng ina.
Agad siyang umiling.
"No, Mom. I won't marry her. She asked for a baby in surrogate method then I agreed, marrying her is too much."
"Then, why did you agree in the first place? It'll only lead you to complication, trust me."
He sighed.
His father's face softened.
"Son, if you're having a hard time or facing trouble, I'm here. Daddy could help you." Marahang saad ng ama.
He stared at her father.
That's Frigus Benjamin. The ruthless attorney in town, favorite apo of the King, and he never lose.
He wanted to be like his father. Fought all the hardship and challenges on his own.
He's Hellion Benjamin. A Benjamin. He needs to show that he's a Benjamjn.
He sighed.
"Ivy and I got back together last week." He stated.
Right after he kick Clea out of the house, bumalik si Ivy. Since his mind is on turmoil, hindi niya alam kung paano siya napapayag ni Ivy.
Maybe because she blackmailed her. And her weakness
"Ivy was threatened by my past enemy, I still got conscience so I get back with her. I quit the organization but they won't let me go until I had my child. I'm hitting two birds in one stone Dad. Save Ivy because I don't want someone die because of me and have a child to get away from my messy past."
Her father stared at him.
"You know that's not a good plan and only result to complication." His dad stated.
His face become serious.
"I know. But that complication can serve as a challenge and that challenges makes me learn lesson and made me stronger. That will make me a Benjamin. Because no Benjamin are perfect."
"And how about the girl you brought in your Mom's clinic? That Clea?"
Kumuyom ang kamao niya.
"Leave it on me, Dad."
Ngumisi ito sa kanya.
"Just always remember, walang bastardong Benjamin."
"ARE YOU hearing yourself, mother?" She asked in disbelief.
"Clea, I promised this is the last." Her mother tried to reach for her but she quickly step back.
"It's no." Mariing sagot niya at agad na tumakbo palayo.
"Clea!"
But she turn into deaf on her motger's calling. Tumakbo siya papasok sa hotel ng may nakasabay siya sa elevator.
"Hendrix..." Usal niya ng makita anv kasintahan ng pinsan niya.
Ngumiti ito sa kanya.
"Hi, small world." Bati nito sa kanya.
Ngumiti siya rito.
"Si Chloe?"
"She went up already, nakipag-usap pa kasi ako kay Hellion and he's with his..." Mukhang nag-aalangan itong magpatuloy.
She just chuckle.
"His girlfriend?"
"Yeah...I really thought you two are sort of together." Maingat na sabi nito
"Haven't you heard the news?" Nagtatakang tanong niya rito.
"About what?" Nagtatakang tanong nito.
"That Hellion kick me out of his house because he find out that my Mom told me to use him to leech for some money." Diretsang sagot niya rito.
Hendrix raised his brow at her. Mukhang hindi makapaniwala sa sinabi niya. She seems like a criminal admitting honestly her crime that made it sound doubtful.
Bumukas na ang elevator sa palapag ng binata.
"Well, see yah--oh, Hellion." Agad na ngumiti si Hendrix sa pinsan nitong lumabas sa katabing elevator na sinasakyan niya.
Her eyes widen and immediately pushed the close button but it's too late since Hellion step inside the elevator.
"Saan ka, bro?" Natatawang tanong ni Hendrix.
But Hellion is just too cold and stare at Hendrix.
"I forgot something at the lobby." Sabi nito at pinindot ang ground floor.
Naunahan pa siya. Dapat kasi isang palapag na lang pataas para makarating siya sa hotel suite niya.
Now, she's stuck with him in elevator.
Ang mapaklang tawa ni Hellion ang pumatay sa katahimikan nilang dalawa.
"So, it's Hendrix turn now, huh."
Tumiim ang bagang niya at kumuyom ang kamao. Hindi na lang siya nagsalita.
"Sa lahat ba naman ng pinsan ko 'dun pa sa may nagmamay-ari na? You're no different from Ckim. Tirador ka pala ng Benjamin."
She took a deep breath as she wanted to slap the hell out of him. Pero kalma lang, it's better to ignore.
Helliom's jaw clenched when he received no response from her.
Napasinghap na lang siya sa gulat ng bigla siyang isandal ng binata sa elevator.
"Ano ba!" Inis na singhal niya rito at sinubukan itong itulak.
"Now, you're pushing me away? Why? Kasi napansin ka na ni Hendrix? You like him, right?"
Kumunot ang noo niya at buong lakas na itinulak ito.
"What is it to you, huh?! It's not your business kung tuhugin ko lahat ng Benjamin! And besides, nagkabalikan na kayo ni Ivy, 'di ba? Why don't focus on her instead?" At hanapan ng solusyon kung bakit hindi ito makapagdala ng anak niyo. Hindi 'yung ako ang poproblemahin niyo! Gusto niya sanang isigaw iyon pero huwag na lang. Mukhang wala itong ideya na siya ang pinili ni Ivy. Siguro ayaw rin ipa-alam ng pinsan.
"Fuck her all you want!" Inis na singhal niya.
"Well, fuck it because I only want your cunt!" He fired back.
That's a long silence and she can hear crickets.
"W-what?" Nahahapong tanong niya.
Tiim bagang na umiwas ng tingin ang binata.
She laugh in disbelief.
"You knew what, Hellion Drixton? If you're lusting other girl just break up with my cousin! She doesn't deserve a man like you---"
Napasinghap siya ng itulak na naman siya nito pasandal. Kinabahan siya dahil papalapit na sila sa ground floor at sobrang lapit ng binata sa kanya.
"And who deserve me, Clea? You? A gold digger like you?" Maanghang na saad nito.
Tinulak niya ako sa inis.
"I don't deserve you either. And yes, I'm a gold digger and your wealth? It's never enough for me." Aniya at nilagpasan ang binata dahil saktong bumukas ang elevator.
I'm a gold-digger...but I'm also a gold that no one can dig. Not even you Hellion Drixton Benjamin.
