Her Billionaire's Attorney [R-18] [UNEDITED]

Chapter 39

NAGISING si Raven na wala na sa tabi niya ang asawa saka siya mabilis na bumangon. He grabbed his phone on the side table at looked at the screen time. It's seven in the morning. He thought that his wife may be in the kitchen and prepares their breakfast. He will take a bath first before starting his morning and go after his office for a meeting. Matagal-tagal na rin na hindi siya nakakabalik sa opisina niya mula nang magbakasyon siya.

After taking a bath, he went to his dressing room and found her comfort suit, but he didn't expect something to make him smile when he opened his drawer to get his underwear. He saw a sticky note in one of his black underwear, and something caught his attention. Choose me? Napailing siya. Alam na niya kung sino ang may kagagawan nito. Kinuha niya ang underwear, tinanggal ang sticky note at sinuot ito. Sumunod naman ay pumili siya ng trouser, polo at necktie. Subalit katulad ng nauna ay may mga sticky note din ito at nakalagay ang salitang choose me. He remembered something in the past about his wife's madness to him. Naglalagay ito ng sticky notes sa locker niya noong nag-aaral pa sila sa Stanford o kahit sa mga pagkaing ibinibigay nito na ang kaibigan naman niyang si Zack ang umuubos.

"Silly wife." He smiled again and chose them all.

After all this time, he's lucky to have them and not miss the chance to be with her forever. After fixing himself, he goes downstairs and sees her wife at the dining table. Nakita siya agad nito habang abala ito sa paghahanda ng breakfast nila.

"Good morning, love! Breakfast is ready!"

Lumapit siya rito at hinapit ito sa baywang. "Wala akong good morning kiss?"

Ngumiti ito. "I already kissed you."

"When?" he asked.

"Habang tulog ka."

"Magnanakaw. I'll sue you."

She smiled, put her arms on his neck, and gave him a sweet kiss with love. "Good morning, with a kiss served!"

Siya naman ang natawa sa endearment nito. He stared at her gaze for a moment, and then something went through his mind. His wife's beautiful eyes seemed to him that he wouldn't see them for a long time. It was a strange feeling for him, the same as he felt the last time they were in Vhino Verde.

"My love, why?"

"Nothing. Let's have our breakfast."

"Okay."

Isinantabi na lang niya iyon at kumain ng agahan kasama ito. He thought again that it was a perfect day with his wife. Hindi niya dapat haluan ng kung anong negatibong bagay ang araw na iyon habang nagsisimula pa lamang sila bilang mag-asawa.

PASADO alas-nuebe ng umaga nang makarating siya sa kaniyang Law Firm. Nakiramdam lang naman siya sa paligid at higit sa lahat ay nag-iingat na rin base sa paalala sa kaniya ni Rendell. Sanay naman siya sa death threats kaya hindi na siya dapat matakot. Iniisip na rin niya na bigyan ng security ang asawa niya habang wala siya sa tabi nito na hindi rin nito nalalaman.

Maghapon din siya sa kaniyang opisina habang inaayos ang mga bagay na dapat niyang tapusin. He didn't forget to call her wife earlier to check her. Tumawag na rin siya sa paborito niyang flower shop upang bigyan ito at dadaanan na lamang niya pag-uwi. Tumingin siya sa kaniyang wrist watch saka siya biglang tumayo.

"Uuwi ka na, Sir Raven?" tanong ng sekretarya niyang si Eunice.

"Yeah!"

"But you have a meeting with Mr. Dela Merced tonight at seven sharp."

"Cancelled my meeting with him."

"Okay, Sir. Siyangapala, congratulations. Kaya pala ayaw mong sumama ako sa iyo sa trip mo dahil may pakakasalan ka pala."

Ngumiti siya. "Thanks. I have a dinner date tonight with my wife. I'll go ahead."

"Okay, Sir."

Nagmamadali na siyang naglakad patungong elevator hanggang sa basement ng parking area kung nasaan ang kaniyang sasakyan. Dumaan rin muna siya sa isang flower shop at kinuha ang bulaklak na inorder niya kanina. Then he drove along the Mckinley road going to his house. Hindi rin siya nagsabi na uuwi siya ng maaga upang masorpresa niya si Kreisha. He plays music on his car stereo and then the beautiful song plays on track. Mabuti na lang at hindi masyadong traffic at napakinggan pa niya ito mula umpisa.

It took one look

Then, forever laid out in front of me

One smile, then I died

Only to be revived by you

Minsan lang siyang makinig sa isang love song subalit tumatak ang bawat lyrics nito sa kaniyang isipan. He remembered about their memories with his wife again. Kung gaano sila pinagtagpo ng tadhana at ngayon lang niya na-realized na sila iyong tipong pinagtagpo noon ngunit ngayon lang itinadhana. Naalala rin niya kung gaano niya ito pinahihirapan noon ngunit nangako siyang hindi na ito iiyak sa piling niya. That's how he loved her so much!

I take one step away.

And I find myself coming back to you

My one and only, one and only you...

Habang pinapakinggan niya ang chorus nito, naramdaman niyang sumakto ito sa mga panahon kung saan lumayo siya sa presensiya ni Kreisha noon. But he found herself coming back to her life and win her heart. Our palms fates across to each other. Tadhana nga naman. Napapangiti na lamang siya sa sarili niya habang nagmamaneho. Everything is fine. The scenery of light traffic flows according to his beautiful music plays while in reminiscence. But a sudden moment turns out into a dreadful nightmare.

An intense beam of light across the street by an eighteen-wheeler truck suddenly across his direction at the fastest speed. His eyes opened wide and startled. No! He instantly turned the steering wheel in the right direction to avoid it, but it was too late. The truck bumped into his car and overturned. The car airbag would have protected him, but the front glass was broken and hit her head. His body was also trapped inside, and the other part of his body was wounded. Halos nandidilim na ang paningin niya dahil natatakpan ng pulang likido ang kaniyang mga mata. Kreisha! He was trying to move his hands, but he can't. He's in tremendous pain, and his body doesn't respond anymore. Ilang sandali pa ay narinig niya ang matinding putukan sa kaniyang paligid hanggang sa tuluyan na siyang pumikit.

Ilang mga sasakyan din ang nadamay sa aksidenteng iyon at ilang mga tauhang nagpalitan ng mga putok. Mga ilang minuto lang ang lumipas ay nakitang nakahandusay na ang mga armadong lalaki na nakipagbarilan sa mga hindi rin kilalang mga kalalakihan na may mga posisyon sa militar. Tutulong na sana ito sa tumaob na sasakyang kinaroroonan ni Raven subalit bigla na lang itong sumabog dahil nag-leak na ang gasoline oil nito na sinabayan pa ng pagsiklab ng apoy.

Life is unpredictable by anyone who means their fortune. Subalit may mga bagay din na hindi inaasahan na mangyayari kapag hindi mo pa oras na lumisan. The creator has set his plans in the future for the people who believe his words.
