CHAPTER 63

"KUNIN MO SI ELLA!"

Benjamin's frantic voice bellowed through the chaos when he broke through the backstage together with the mysterious woman with him.

The fire alarm was screaming.

Punong-puno ng usok ang buong lugar.

He could barely see, but the woman with her was doing better as they both pushed their way in. Mukhang mas handa ito sa pangyayari. Actually, binanggit nito ilang minuto pa lang ang nakakaraan na may sasabog sa backstage at maraming mamatay doon.

Was it normal for the woman to know what would happen even before it actually did? Ewan ni Benjamin, pero nang mga oras na 'yon ay naalarma na rin siya.

The models and staff were running wild everywhere! His client was nowhere to be found, and the debris still falling from the ceiling was beating them all down. He could see the guards he positioned on the place running in the direction of where Constantine was.

Nahihirapan siyang idilat ang kanyang mga mata dahil sa kapal ng usok, pero naririnig siyang sumisigaw—boses ng bakla na tila pilit ginigising ang kapatid niya.

"MADAAM ELLA! DIYOS KO PO, MADAAM!"

"Nasugatan ka--"

"Huwag ako ang intindihin mo, unahin mo si Ella!"

Tinabig niya ang kamay ng misteryosang babae nang padaanin nito 'yon sa kanyang pumutok na kilay. He wasn't ready for the heat that crawled his skin as soon as her worried fingertips touched. Naroon na naman 'yong piga sa dibdib niyang hindi niya maintindihan.

A glass shard hit his face and cut him right on the eyebrow when the explosion happened. A part of him wanted to take the woman's hand and press it harder on his bloody face. Pero pinatigas ni Benjamin ang panga at sinagawan ang babae, kaya napaigtad ito.

"Let's separate here. I'll go for the target! You got for Ella!"

This wasn't the time for anything else but to save his sister, and he couldn't entertain any thoughtful acts from a woman he didn't even know...

'Pero pinagkakatiwalaan mo...' a part of him taunted just as soon as he made that sharp turn and rushed to where the chaos was centered.

He felt relieved when the mysterious woman nodded her head understandingly and started to run towards the other side of the backstage—siya sa direction ni Constantine at 'yong kasama naman siya sa direksyon ni Ella.

'Damn it! Banjamin..." He gritted his teeth. 'Bakit pinagkakatiwalaan mo ang babaeng 'yan? Bakit!'

The demons were smiling in hell as they walked gracefully out of the hotel.

Mababakas ang aliw sa mukha ni Sevilla—a man in his tuxedo while guiding a beautiful doctor with his elbow. Kabaligtaran sa mga nagkakagulong paligid ay tila namamasyal lang ang dalawa habang umaalis sa napakagulong lugar.

Napapalibutan sila ng napakaraming gwardya na sinisigurong, hindi man lang sila madadapuan ng mga balikat o braso ng mga taong sumasabay sa kanila palabas.

"Pilya ka." He shook his head while smiling at one of Deep Blue's biggest clients. Nakangiti pa rin siya, kahit pa nga may mga alikabok na bumabagsak sa kanyang ulunan at dumi sa suot nilang mga pormal na kasuotan. "Napakapilya, Dra. Alonzo..."

"I just did my part of the deal. Ang hiniling niya sa akin ay hindi maging numero uno si Constantino." The lady bit her lips to suppress a naughty grin. Tulad ng katabi ay maaaninaw din ang matinding tuwa nito sa malaking palabas na naganap. "Hindi ko naman sinabi sa kanyang mabubuhay siya pagkatapos. ¿Hice algo mal?"
