He's a Dangerous Man

Chapter Ten - Devon is Damon's what?

Chapter Ten

"Are you full already?" I brought Devon to Jollibee para kumain. I just texted Nana that I will be late. I looked at my wristwatch and saw that it's already past 6 pm. 

"Yes Mommy!" Masayang sagot ni Devon. I wiped the gravy in the corner of his lips. 

I smiled. Magaan ang pakiramdam ko kay Devon. Maybe because, pareho na kaming walang Mommy. 

"Pasensya ka na talaga Leigh. Naabala pa kita. Pwede ka na sigurong umuwi. Baka gabihin ka na sa daan. Nagtext na din yung secretary ni sir na tapos na ang meeting nila at papunta na sila dito" Rizza said. I was about to answer her nang biglang yakapin ni Devon ang braso ko. 

"No!! Mommy will stay here!" Napahawak ako sa buhok ni Devon. Such a clingy child but it made me smile. 

"Hintayin ko na lang na dumating ang Daddy niya" sagot ko. I also can't afford to leave this handsome guy na malungkot. 

"Salamat talaga Leigh" tila nahihiyang wika ni Rizza.

"Wag ka na magpasalamat. Nakakaenjoy din namang alagaan tong si Devon" I said. 

"Devon" Isang baritonong tinig ang narinig namin mula sa likod. Pero napatigil ako dahil sa napaka pamilyar ng boses na iyon. 

Lumingon si Devon at kumalas sa braso ko. Patakbo siyang lumapit sa lalaking tumawag sa kanya.

"Daddy!" Sigaw nito. Tumayo na din si Rizza at binati ang bagong dating.

"Sir Damon" wika ni Rizza at tila nabingi ako sa pangalang binanggit niya. 

Napatayo ako at lumingon. Nanlaki ang mata ko sa nakita. 

It was Damon, holding Devon in his arms. 

Shock crossed in his eyes for a while when he saw me.

I looked at Devon and then to Damon. So that's why Devon looked familiar. He's Damon's son?

I secretly laughed at myself when I remembered how embarrassing my thoughts were last night. So he's already a father? Is that the reason why he's not interested in girls?

I immediately composed myself. 

"Leigh" I heard Damon call me. 

Napatingin naman sa akin si Rizza na tila nagtataka kung bakit ako kilala ni Damon. 

"Damon," I said and smiled at him "so he's your son?" 

Damon looked at me without any emotions. I wonder what he's thinking. 

"Yeah" it's a single word, but it's clear. 

"Daddy! I met mommy!" Devon suddenly said and I saw how Damon changed his expression. 

His eyes were filled with anger. He turned to Rizza. 

"Didn't I tell you not to let him meet any stranger?" His voice filled with rage. I suddenly felt scared. It's as if he's going to attack Rizza. 

Ibinaba ni Damon si Devon na hindi naiintindihan kung anong nangyayari. A man from the back held Devon's hand.

Rizza was already on the verge of tears as she looked at me. She wanted to say something but she kept quiet.

"What! You are already fired! I don't need a stupid girl lurking around my son. Don't let me see your face ever or you won't like the consequence," puno ng pagbabantang sabi ni Damon.

"S-sir!" Napaiyak na si Rizza dahil sa takot. I need to do something.

"Still not going to leave?" Lumapit ito kay Rizza na tila sasaktan ito.
