──⊹⊱✫⊰⊹──

Destiny, Siggy, and Ms. Madrigal are not my original characters. Maaari po ninyong basahin ang kwento ni Destiny sa akda ng sissy kong si Velvet_Summers  na pinamagatang "Chained Destiny" sa kaniyang Wattpad account. May special appearances din doon sina Knight at Dei.

──⊹⊱✫⊰⊹──

NAMILOG ang mga mata ni Dei nang pumarada ang sasakyan nila sa harap ng isang napakataas na gusali. Nais niyang tanungin kung nasa tamang lugar ba sila ngunit hindi na niya iyon nagawa nang magtuloy-tuloy si Knight patungo sa entrada, kinausap ang guard na nagbabantay, at nag-aalangang patuluyin ito.

Lauchengco Investments and Holdings is the highest tower in Makati City and it is currently run by the walking pheromone, Destiny Lauchengco.

'She can't be the suspect.' untag ng isipan ni Dei habang pinapanood ang likuran ni Knight at sinusundan ito papasok na napakagarang gusali. Sahig pa lang ay parang salamin na sa sobrang kintab. Si Destiny lang naman ang kakilala niya rito at imposibleng ang tinutukoy na suspect kanina ay si Siggy, ang assistant nitong workaholic at palaging nakabuntot sa boss niya.

She followed Knight and mentally hoping that her gut-feeling is wrong. She somewhat know Destiny Lauchengco. Sopistikada at nakukuha ang lahat ng gusto. While she is considered a bitch by most people around her, Dei thinks it's only a facade para pagtakpan ang masalimoot nitong nakaraan.

"Tatanga-tanga ka na lang ba riyan?" Napukaw ang iniisip nito nang marinig ang boses ni Knight. Nasa loob na ito ng elevator, ang isang kamay ay nakahawak sa pintuan upang hindi tuluyang magsara.

Nakakuniot na naman ang noo nitong nakatingin sa kaniya. He is slowly getting into her nerves! At para naman makaganti, she flipped her long hair at marched towards the elevator as if she was a runway model. "Bumubuwelo lang ako. Chill."

Napairap na lamang si knight sa tinuran niya. He doesn't need to say anything because his actions speaks that he dislikes Dei.

"Sino ba ang suspect pala?" hindi naiwasan ni Dei ang magtanong habang sinusubukang silipin ang file na hawak ni Knight na siya namang inilalayo ng binata mula sa kaniya.

"You'll know who when we get to her office." istrikto ang boses nitong sumagot. Akala mo'y isa itong professor na sinasabihan ang isang makulit na estudyante.

Her suspicion grew when they reached the thirtieth floor. Minsan na ring nabanggit ni Destiny that she doesn't allow anyone on that particular floor because it's her personal space inside their corporate building. Dei know for a fact that the suspect is a female so she crossed out Siggy. Other than that, she could not come up with any other female employees.

The elevator bell rings, signalling that they have reached their desired floor. And as soon as the elevator door opens, Dei had the sudden urge to go to the bathroom. This is her body telling her how anxious, stress, or nervous she is at the moment. Kaya naman imbes na sundan si Knight ay pumunta ito sa kabilang direksyon.

"Oh, saan ka pupunta?" magkasalubong ang mga kilay ni Knight nang tanungin ang dalagang nagpipigil ng kaniyang ihi. He pointed at the large entrance door that they could only think of as Destiny's office. "Doon ang opisina ng pupuntahan natin!"
