My Twin Sister's Wife

Chapter 22 - The Show

Rielle's POV:

I stood at the back of the grand venue, nagpaalam ako kay Elix na pupunta ako sa restroom and dumiretcho na lang muna ako sa likod where my eyes fixed on the stage where Greg, the CEO of the insurance company, prepared to make his dramatic announcement in his own event. The room was abuzz with anticipation as the VIP clients and business tycoons, including Elix and peers, filled the seats. This is it.

His demeanor oozed arrogance as he took the stage, a sly smile playing on his lips. I could feel the tension in the air, knowing that he intended to use this moment to unveil his vile scheme. My wife sat among the audience, unaware of the impending storm. I also see how the man looked at her with a smirk on his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Greg began, his voice projecting throughout the room. "Thank you for joining us tonight at this prestigious event. Safety awareness is indeed of paramount importance, but sometimes, it's not just about business."

Yeah, with your nasty deeds? I'm aware.

My heart raced as I watched his sly grin widen. I knew he was about to expose the information he had gathered in a bid to blackmail my Elix. This was the moment I had been preparing for, the moment when I would turn the tables on him. Now let's see what you got in there.

"You see, Elix, as the owner of a respected insurance company, you may think you have everything under control. But there are certain things you can't control." he continued. Ayan na.

The room fell into a hushed silence as Greg began his presentation, and the massive screen behind him flickered to life. I watched intently, knowing that this was the moment of striking point. His presentation began, but instead of revealing sensitive information, the screen displayed a video of him in a compromising situation.

Surprise! It's showtime.

Gasps of shock and murmurs rippled through the audience as the video played. Greg's face contorted in sheer horror as he realized that his own scandalous video was being broadcast for all to see. His once-confident demeanor crumbled into disbelief, and the room erupted in a mix of shocked laughter and whispered conversations.

"Oh, Elix I love your body ahhhh. Damn!" all people heard him moaning about my wife's name even though she's not the woman in that scandal. I saw my wife's face turn red at hindi makapaniwala sa narinig. I know deep inside, she wants to just go and hide. She doesn't want complications, pano ko nalaman? Well, who does right? Even me, I hate complications. Kaso it's better kesa ang pinagpaguran niya ang bumagsak sa harapan ng marami. I was looking at her but her face looked frustrated.

I smirked from my vantage point at the back of the room, knowing that my expectation was working perfectly. But the real twist was yet to come.

"What the hell, stop it! Turn it off!"

Greg scrambled to stop the video, his face flushed with embarrassment. He noticed that every smartphone in the room received a notification, and attendees' faces turned pale as they checked their devices.

To his horror, the same video he had just tried to stop was sent to the VIP clients and other business tycoons present at the event. The room buzzed with the sound of multiple phones chiming with incoming messages. The scandalous video, which Greg had intended to use as a weapon against Elix, was now on full display for his own clients and peers to witness.

Rielle watched as Greg's world unraveled before him. He glanced around, his face flushed with humiliation, as the attendees exchanged incredulous glances and comments. The room had turned into a cacophony of scandal and astonishment.

Elix, who had been unaware of the initial blackmail attempt, now watched in disbelief as the tables turned dramatically. She couldn't hide her surprise as she witnessed Greg's downfall in front of everyone but just remained silent and serious but you will see her frustration.

As the chaos continued to unfold, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Greg's attempt to manipulate and blackmail had backfired spectacularly, and in a fitting twist of fate, he had exposed his own shame to the world.

Agad kong nilapitan si Elix at inakay ko na siya patayo.

"Let's go home, wife." I asked her hand at agad naman niya yon inabot sa akin.

Habang inaalalayan ko siya. We witnessed the man on stage with his teary eyes na talagang pinagsakluban ng langit at lupa. We saw his bodyguards get him and walk to the exit dahil natulala na ito sa pagkakatayo dahil sa pagkapahiya. God! That's the taste of his own medicine. Pero habang nakaalalay ako sa bewang ni Elix ay nakita kong tumigil at tumitig si Greg sa kung saan kami nakatayo.

"You!" palapit ito kay Elix at mukhang hahablutin and braso ng asawa ko pero hindi niya nagawa dahil agad ding lumapit ang mga bodyguards namin na inatasan ko din umattend and be our lookout for tonight without Elix's knowledge. I came prepared and I want to protect my wife at all cost. Naharangan nila ito ngunit patuloy pa rin itong nagpupumilit para lang mahawakan si Elix.

"I loved you Elix! Why did you do this to me?!" umiiyak ito and desperately pleading. "Minahal kita! Pero bakit hindi mo ko kayang piliin! Ako nalang ulit Elix! Please!" puno ng hinagpis ang sigaw nito. I was too bothered since the people are hearing his words. I also see media reporters sa labas.

Inakay ko na si Elix na nanginginig dahil sa tension sa loob ng venue. Kasunod namin ang mga bodyguards while walking. We are seeing camera flashes everywhere pero patuloy naman ang pagcover sa amin ng mga guards.

"Elix!" patuloy pa rin ang pagsigaw ni Greg. "Please come back to me! Mahal na mahal kita! Please!!!!!" humahagulgol na ito, he doesn't seem to care about his dignity. Bakit ba siya ganito? I don't get it, kailangan pa niyang ipahiya ang sarili nya ng sobrang tindi. What a dumbass.

Patuloy namin ang pagbaybay papunta sa parking lot para maisakay ko na si Elix sa kotse. Hindi na rin namin muli pang narinig ang pag iyak ni Greg, marahil ay nailayo na din ito ng mga guards nito sa lugar na iyon. My wife is too silent kahit nakasakay na kami sa sasakyan, I don't know what she's feeling. Pero hinayaan ko muna siya sa kanyang katahimikan ang mahalaga ay makauwi na muna kami. That's her privacy kaya hindi ko dapat basta basta basagin ang katahimikan niya.

Hanggang sa pag uwi namin sa unit ay tahimik lang din itong nagasikaso ng sarili bago matulog. I let her have her own peace that night.
