Beauty ruled a Beast

Chapter 42

"Whoever the fuck you are. This better be fucking important–"

"Importante 'to. Magdivorce na tayo." Putol ng nasa kabilang linya.

Namilog ang mata ko at muntik pang mahulog sa kinauupuan. Agad kong tinignan kung sino ang tumawag at lalong kinabahan.

"Honey," kabado at medyo gulat ko pang sinabi.

"Wag mo kong ma-honey honey, Kaito."

Parang akong kinilabutan sa lamig ng boses niya.

"I thought you won't call. I didn't look when I answered the call. I'm really sorry, Kaito." Malambing kong sinabi.

I'm afraid he won't talk to me anymore. We never see each other but atleast we communicate. Better than no communication.

"Where are you?" Tanong niya kalaunan.

"You're not mad anymore?" Tanong ko.

"Wag mo ng dagdagan," iritado niyang sinabi.

Ngumuso ako para pigilang ngumiti.

He's cute when he's mad. Damn. I want to see him.

"In our parents house," sagot ko.

Natahimik siya kaya naman kumunot lalo ang noo ko.

"What's wrong, honey?" Tanong ko.

"May problema. Malaking pera ang nawawala sa company mo," aniya.

Umayos ako ng upo, "what do you mean? It's fine. I handle the problem already."

"I know. But the money is decreasing each seconds."

Para akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig dahil sa narinig. Last week, huge amount of money was stole without any trace. I found the culprit with the help of Nef. What's wrong again?

Hindi ako agad umimik at ganun din siya sa kabilang linya. Sa labas ng bahay, naririnig ko na ang ingay ng paparating. Umigting ang panga ko.

Fuck! Why now?

"Are you busy?" Tanong niya ng hindi na talaga ako nagsalita.

"I'll talk to Leah today. She won't bother me anymore but she has condition."

I don't want to tell him but I don't want him to think that I am hiding something from him. It's better that he know we're gonna talk. I'll end this alone. I don't want to bring trouble to him so I'll face this alone.

"I'll go there then," aniya.

"It's okay, honey. Let me handle this. We'll talk once and for all. I want to end this alone. I don't want you to be stress out again because of them."

He never told me but I know our situation is stressing him out. I got to talk to MJ and he told me everything. It's a good thing that our son got his honest side.

"She wants you. What do you think her condition?" Tanong niya.

Bumuntong hininga ako lalo na ng marinig na nakapasok na ang mga bisita. I didn't move an inch even when dad approach me. He left me after I mouthed that I am talking to my wife.

"I'm not really sure. But if it is about money, then, I can give her that." I said confidently.

"I don't think, you can."

"How much did we lost this time?" I asked.

"Can't confirm yet. It's decreasing each seconds and it's not stopping yet. Our men are trying to figure out how to stop it. It's not a prank either. The bank called me many times about it. It triggers them because it's a huge sum of money." He explained worriedly.
