The Badass Girl in Whitehaven Palace

Chapter 55

I was anxious by Giovanni's presence here in the Cruise Ship. I knew he has the right on the kids but... fuck it! I was anxious and... scared. What if he'll take my kids away from me? What if he'll hide my kids away from me? They're one of the reason why I have to live. They're one of the reason why I still want to live.

Even though I wanted so bad to wake up as earlier as I have--- to look for my kids, I woke up late today. Madaling araw na akong nakatulog kakaisip sa kung anong posibleng mangyari ngayong naghihinala na si Giovanni. Sa pagod at stress ay late na akong bumangon.

"El?" I called Elaiza as I was stretching, yawning for just waking up.

Napapatigil ako sa ginagawa nang wala akong marinig na sagot mula sa kuwarto nila.

"El?" natatarantang saad ko, tumatakbo papunta sa kuwarto nila. Pagbukas ko sa pinto at nang makita kong wala sila sa loob ay parang sumabog lahat ng emosyong mararamdaman ko. My knees softened. My hands, even my flesh were starting to tremble. Lahat ng takot ay kuhang-kuha ko. Lahat ng luha ay parang lalabas sa mga mata ko.

"N-No. N-No, he can't do this to me! El! Atreus! Kristoff!"

Para akong tangang tinatawag ang mga pangalan nila habang nililibot ang buong Suite, nagbabasakali na marinig nila ako at baka ay naglalaro lang sa kung saan.

"El!"

Nanginginig ang kamay na kinuha ko ang cellphone ko habang lumalabas ng Suite. Kahit na tumitingin na sa gawi ko ang mga tao ay wala akong pakialam basta ay makita ko lang ang mga anak ko.

I was crying, trembling while roaming around to find them somewhere. I was in that state yet I never felt ashamed for having that face just to find my kids.

"Christian, fuck it! Fucking pick up the phone!"

Para akong tangang umiiyak ngunit nagmumura habang naglibot-libot sa paligid. Sa laki ng Cruise, hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupunta.

[Hey, what is it? I'm busy---]

Napapatigil siya sa pagsasalita nang marinig na umiiyak ako.

[Hey, Teagan, what's wrong?] Rinig ko ang ingay mula sa kabilang linya.

"Sina El---" I can't spit out the name of the trio just because of the fear that I am feeling right now. Just because I was fucking trembling!

[What happened to them? Fuck it! Taegan, please calm down for a bit and tell us what exactly happened!]

Huminga ako nang malalim, pinipigilan ang sariling umiyak. "The li'l trio, I think Giovanni took them away. Christian, please help me! Please!"

Rinig ko ang ilang ulit na mura sa kabilang linya. [Fuck! Lucian, take the media's call and tell them we'll have our press conference once we're back on our hometown. Sebastian, come with me. Taegan?]

"C-Christian..."

[Sebastian's already on his way to the security to look for the CCTV footages, he'll look for Giovanni there. Where are you?]

Lumingon-lingon ako sa paligid para tingnan kung nasaan ako. "I'm at Whitehaven Sugar."

[Stay there. I'll be there in a minute.]

Ilang minuto lang ay dumating si Christian. I was still nervous and scared but when I saw my brother, I felt like everything will be alright.

"C-Christian---"

He hushed me by hugging me. "Hush now. I'll make sure we'll get them back."

Nagulat ako nang may inilagay siyang earpiece sa tainga ko. Kumalas siya sa yakap at tiningnan ako deritso sa mga mata.
