Captivating Benjamin (4th Gen #11)

Chapter 43

A/N:...chill lang tayu, mahal ko kayo😘

"HUWAG kang mag-alala, Clea. I'm just watching you from a far." Her mother assured.

Pilit siyang ngumiti sa ina at saka naglakad na papasok sa isang high class na restaurant.

She fixed her dress before sitting while waiting for the man to came. Wala na nga siyang pakialam kung matandang mayaman o ano. She just here to date...to get money for entertaining.

Napatingin siya ng may naglalakad na lalaki papunta sa direksyon niya. Hindi ito matanda, mukhang magkasing-edad lang ito sa si Hellion.
Matikas rin ang pangangatawan at may panlaban sa itsura. He's familiar and for sure he's a business man.

"Sorry, I'm late." The man said in baritone voice.

Umupo ito sa harap niya.

"No, it's fine. I'm just too early." She smiled politely at the man.

The man called the waiter for the menu. Kahit ano na lang ang pinili niya doon tutal ang lalaki naman ang magbabayad.

"My bad, I forgot to introduce myself.  Clever Caszer."

Inabot niya ang kamay nito saka ngumiti.

"Clea Forester."

"Clea... So, you have been dating men to entertain them, for how long?" Clever asked casually.

"I've been doing this years ago but I stopped it already until my Mom asked me to do this again." Kaswal na got niya rin at sumimsim ng wine na hinanda ng waiter kanina.

"Oh, must be tough. Don't worry, I'm not a bad guy. I already wired money on your Mom's account, it just happen that my Dad requested me to be here."

"Oh.." Anong ibig nitong sabihin?

Mukhang nakita ng binata angpagtataka niya.

"Well, your Dad and mine used to be friends. When he find out that your father is on critical condition, he wanted to help in not suspicious way. Hindi tumatanggan ang Mama mo ng tulong mula sa labas dahil na rin sa pagiging segurista nito. Your father was once trusted a man but almost causes his life. The day you drive the car with your father, the car accident, it's all planned by your father's trusted man."

Narinig na niya iyon sa Mama niya pero nakakagulat dahil mukhang may mas maraming alam pa ito kaysa sa kanya.

"Who's your Dad? I might knew him."

Palagi siyang dinadala ng Daddy niya sa mga ball or charity gala dati, may nakilala na rin siyang mga kaibigan nito pero nawala ang lahat ng 'yun ng mamatau ang Daddy niya.

"He's Heizer Phantom. I'm Clever Caszer Phantom."

Napaawang ang labi niya saka napatango. She haven't met the man but her father sometimes talk about him.

"So, here I am. Stuck with you and I'm taking advantage on this situation to give my woman a show." Clever said simply look at the east direction.

Pasimple siyang napalingon doon at nakita niya ang isang babaeng sopistikada na masama ang tingin sa kanila.

She smirked and drank her wine.

"I love acting."

She raised her glass for a toast. Clever did the same.

Bahagya siyang lumapit sa binata para bulungan ito sa tenga.

"I bet for five pesos she'll be here in 30 seconds." Bulong niya.

Clever smirked at her.

"I'll bet 15 pesos, she'll walk out--- fuck."

Her eyes widen when she saw Clever already lying on the floor holding his jaw who have been punched.

By Hellion.

"Hellion!" She shrieked and stop him when he's about to punch Clever again.

"What's happening?" The sophisticated woman asked when she got closer to them, Clever's woman.

Napamura si Clever at napatayo saka bumunot ng limang peso sa bulsa nito at nilagay sa palad niya.

"You won." Clever said and dragged the lady with him outside.

Nalaglag ang panga niya sa nangyari saka bumaling sa binata.

Pinagtitinginan sila ng tao doon kaya nagmamadali siyang lumabas.

"Ano bang ginagawa mo dito, Hellion?! You created a scene, sinuntok mo pa si Clever!" Galit na sigaw niya rito habang naglalakad papuntang parking lot.

"I should be the one asking you that, Clea Leonor! What are you doing here with that fucking man?!" Galit na saad ni Hellion na nagpipigil na sumigaw.

Her jaw clenched and face him.

"What do you care? It's my job! Panira ka ng trabaho!" She spat on him.

Hellion's jaw clenched. Natatakot siya sa galit na reaksyon ng binata.

"Trabaho? Are you hearing yourself, Forester?" He said mockingly.

Humugot siya ng malaking hangin at matapang na tinitigan ang binata.

"What is it to you?! We're not lovers nor in a relationship, Hellion Drixton. At kung makikipagdate ako dahil man 'yun sa pera o hindi, desisyon ko 'yun at walang magagalit dahil wala akong karelasyon!"

Tumiim ang bagang ng binata sa galit.

"Tell me, how much money do you need. Dahil uubusin ko lahat ni sentimo sa kayamanan ko para lang hindi ka makikipagkita sa iba!"

Napatawa siya ng mapakla.

"I thought you don't want to keep a gold digger?" She asked mockingly.

Hellion's jaw clenched and walk closer to her.

"Ibibigay ko lahat sa 'yo ang pera ko, manatili ka sa bahay at ang atensyon mo ay nasa amin ng anak ko."

Natawa siha ng mapakla at hindi makapaniwalang tumingin sa binata

"I'm not your slave---"

"Don't you understand, Clea Leonor?! I'm making you a queen of my goddamn mansion just for you to stay there!" Galit na asik ng binata.

Sabay silang natahimik.
They were catching each other's breath in much emotions.

"You know how livid I am when I find out you're not in your room? Tapos nalaman kong nakipagkita ka sa ibang lalaki? I feel betrayed!"

Nanlaki ang mata niya sa sinabi nito. Tila nabingi siya, hindi makapaniwala sa narinig.

"H-hellion..."

"Uuwi na tayo. Naghihintay na si Drix Leo." Malamig na saad ng binata at nilagpasan siya. Sinundan niya ang tingin ang papalayong bulto nito.

She sighed and was about to walk on the car she used to went on the restaurant when Hellion spoken again.

"Get inside that car or else..."

She sighed and walk towards her car. Padabog na pumasok siya.

Kung galit ito ay galit rin siya! Tingnan natin kung saan sila dadalhin ng galit nila.
