"IS everything ready?" Napalunok siya ng marinig ang boses ni Hellion ng lumapit ito sa bridal car."Yes, Mr. Benjamin. The bride is here already, safe and sound delivered by my husband. Let's start the nuptial." Sabi ni Kisses.
She took a deep breath and close her eyes.
Ito na. Ikakasal na siya. Bakit ba sa kabila ng sitwasyon nila ay nanghihina ang kanyang tuhod at tila may paro-paro sa kanyang tiyan?
Bakit ba siya excited?
"Hindi naman force wedding to, 'di ba?" Tanong sa kanya ni Keil.
Ibang klase talaga si Hellion. Talaga pinasuyo pa kay Keil na ito ang maghatid sa kanya baka kung sino ang humatid sa kanya at may mangyari pa.
"Hindi naman.." Sagot niya.
"Alam mo, kahit loko-loko 'yang si Hellion, seryoso 'yan." Sabi ni Keil..
Napatingin siya dito.
"We're not that close tho but we hangout sometimes. He's a good man." Keil said sincerely.
"He's not a good man..."
Umiling siya na napagpawala ng ngiti sa labi nito, "he's more than that. He's the best."Keil smirked and look in front.
"Lumabas ka na. Malapit ka ng rumampa. I'll just go to the videographer to send a live copy on each Benjamins to see this show. Ngayon pa lang kinakabahan na ako."
She took a deep breath and calm herself. Si Chloe ang kinakatakutan niya. Supposedly kasal ito ngayon kay Hendrix, but she choose to help Hellion on his plans.
Walang alam ang ibang pinsan nila maliban sa mga unang henerasyon ng mga Benjamin. Pinaliwanag na ni Chloe ang mangyayari para hindi siya kamuhian ng mga ito.
Lumabas na siya sa kotse at naglakad papunta sa entrada ng simbahan. Nakita niya si Chloe doon na nakatayo rin. They're wearing the same dress and her make-up was inspired by Chloe to trick Hendrix and Ivy that Hellion's really marrying Chloe.
Niyakap siya ni Chloe ng magkalapit sila.
"Are you okay?" Chloe asked her.
She smiled at her cousin back.
"Ako dapat ang magtanong niyan. Hendrix is already waiting for you."
Ngumiti si Chloe at umiling.
"Kung mahal niya ako, maghihintay siya kahit gaano ako katagal pumayag na ikasal ng tuluyan sa kanya. I have to do this for Hellion, he's like my brother."
Bumukas na ang pinto at agad siyang nagtago sa likod ni Chloe. The camera focus on Chloe for 7 seconds then it shifted to the visitors. Agad na umalis si Chloe para hindi na mahagip ng camera at siya na ang nagpatuloy sa paglalakad.
The videographer took a video of her, southwest, to find an angle that she looks like Chloe. Mukhang ito ang pinadala kay Ivy at Hendrix.
"The video is done." Anunsyo ng videographer.
Nakahinga siya ng maluwag pero muling bumalik ang kaba ng lumapit sa kanya si Hellion.
Seryoso ang mukha ng nito ng lumapit sa kanya. He took his handkerchief and suddenly wipe off the make up on her face!
"Hellion!" She gasped. Hindi pa sila ikinakasal pero tinanggal na nito ang make up niya.
"You look like Chloe, so I erased it. Ikaw ang pakakasalan ko ngayon, Clea." Seryosong saad ni Hellion at hinila siya papuntang altar.
"Let's be quick, father. Hendrix might be driving right now." Sabi ni Hellion.
Agad naman nilang sinimulan ang kasal.
It was quick, but she can't help to feel the solemn vibes. There's only Chloe, Kisses, Kian Keil and the videographer as their visitor. Sila-sila lang talaga.
"Now, I pronounced you husband and wife. You may now kissed the bride."
Her heart hammered upon hearing that phrase.
She's no longer Clea Leonor Forester... She's now Clea Leonor F. Benjamin. Pagmamay-ari na siya ni Hellion.
Hellion step little closer. He's still have this serious face on him. He held her chin and slowly lean towards her to claim her lips.
Napapikit siya at sinalubong ang labi ng binata. She's now a legal Benjamin. Parang sa isang iglap lang nagsisigawan pa sila tapos ngayon kasal na siya sa binata.
Her heart booming for unknown happiness. Maybe because she's finally free from Ivy's grip...and Hellion promised she can do what she wants and maybe because....
"Clea..." Hellion muttered while staring right to her eyes.
"T-tapos na ang kasal." Naiilang na sabi niya at bahagyang lumayo rito.
Nahihiya siya dahil sa biglaang pamumula niya, bakit ba kung kailan magkasama na sila ng matagal ngayon pa siya nag-astang dalaga?
She gulped when Hellion step closer to her. Dahan-dahang lumapit ang binata at binulungan siya sa tenga.
"Hindi mo na masasabing wala akong karapatan sa 'yo, Clea dahil asawa na kita."
Teka...akala ba niya pinakasalan lang siya dahil kay Drix? Now, he's talking about rights?
Agad siyang napahiwalay kay Hellion ng biglang lumapit si Keil.
"Hellion, you need to be outside already. Malapit na si Hendrix." Sabi ni Keil
Hellion nodded and look at her.
"Exit on the other door. Keil will be driving you home."
Tumango siya sa binata at sinunod ang gusto nito. She let him faced the furious Hendrix outside who thought that Hellion's married Chloe. Sana naman walang mangyari na masama kay Hellion.
"Let's go." Kiel said and open the door of his car in the back seat. Pagpasok niya nakita niya si Kisses sa loob, nasa passenger seat.
"Hi." Bati ng wedding organizer nila.
She smiled back at her and greeted Kisses, too. Agad na nilisan nila ang lugar.
"You don't have to be worry, Helion is fine." Keil said when he noticed the worry on her face.
"But Hendrix..."
"Trust me, he won't kill Hellion...tho I didn't promised Hendrix wouldn't hurt him."
Her eyes widen om what he said.
Keil chuckle. "Chill, Mrs. Benjamin. Napaghalataan ka masyado."
Agad siyang namula at umiwas ng tingin.
Keil dropped her on Helliom's mansion. Tahimik iyon dahil walang katao-tao. Drix Leo is on his granparents while the maid was given a day-off.
She went upstairs and went to Hellion's room.
She was about to removed her dress when the door opened.
"Hellion!" She gasped in surprise.
Hellion smirked with desire on his eyes.
"Time to consume our marriage, ketchup. Hubad."
