The Broken Heart's Beauty (Salguero Siblings Series #3)

Chapter 42- Scandal

"Are you nervous?" Duke massages my palms and kisses them.

"No. You're with me." Ngumiti siya at niyakap ako.

"I'll always be in your sight." Paninigurado niya.

Today is the international broadcast for my fashion show. Together with the other designers and the organization.

Lolo Fred, my siblings, Samara, and Sabel are also here, as are their friends, and our housemaids.

Some of the models are also here, including Rupert. I can see the guilt in his eyes from what he did, I'm thinking of talking to him after this, but I want to talk to Patrice first.

Hindi ko pa rin nasasabi ang nangyari kay Duke. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko sa kaniya sasabihin.

Baka pagkatapos na lang din ng broadcast. He's the head of the media, and he's been busy. Ayoko siyang mag-alala.

"Love," humiwalay siya sa akin at tiningnan ako.

"Hmm?" I stare at every detail of his face.

My dreams are vast, but he owns its greatest expanse.

"I love you." Napangiti siya.

Pinagdikit niya ang mga noo namin at pumikit.

"I love you too, love." Our eyes are filled with love.

Kapag siya ang kasama ko, ano pa man ang harapin at gawin ko, payapa ang puso at isip ko. Kampante ako na gawin ang lahat dahil alam ko na nasa tabi ko lang siya. Tinatanggal niya ang mga bagay na nagpapagulo ng kayapapaan ko.

Nauna siyang lumabas dahil kailangan siya sa conference room. Tumingin ako sa salamin na narito sa dressing room.

Huminga ako ng malalim at nagpinta ng tunay na ngiti sa mga labi ko. My happiness is pure, and it's because of Duke.

Natural na sa akin ang ngumiti at maging masaya.

A while later, Callie entered the room to tell me that everything was ready.

Some of the bodyguards are waiting outside as I walk to the conference room.

I was greeted by camera flashes and greetings when I walked to the front where I would be seated. Katabi ko ang heads ng organizations at kapwa ko mga designers.

I took the empty seat in the middle and looked to the front.

Kumaway sa akin sila Cosette kaya lumawak ang ngiti ko nang makita ko sila sa may bandang unahan na magkakatabi.

I roamed my eyes around the room to find Duke and he seemed to notice that because he raised his arm so that I could see him. He's at the back of the aisle, beside the cameraman.

Ngumiti siya sa akin na mas lalong nagpakalma ng puso ko.

Nagawi rin ang tingin ko kay Patrice na nasa unahan. May kung ano akong naramdaman nang makita ko ang paraan ng pagngisi niya pero pinilit ko iyon na balewalain nang mag-umpisa na ang broadcast.

"Good morning, world! We're coming to you live from the prestigious Salguero Estate Corporation! Today is an exciting day as we bring you exclusive coverage of an event that's set to dazzle and inspire. The Miracle's Show! This groundbreaking fashion extravaganza marks the debut event under the direction of the incomparable, Senyorita Avyanna Marlowe Ruiz Salguero! Let's come together to celebrate her visionary leadership with a warm round of applause!" The host started.

I took my microphone and looked at the camera.

Tiningnan ko sandali si Duke bago ngumiti.

"Thank you, everyone. It's a great honor to introduce to you the culmination of our team's hard work, alongside my fellow designers, with the help of our staff and organization. Together, we've made it possible to present to you a miracle show," I looked at my siblings.
