Lost in the Lady's Whispers

Chapter 23

"Mm," isinubo ni Lady sa akin ang grapes na binili namin kanina sa nadaanan namin.

We're on our way home. Nasa backseat kami ni Lady Rhianne at ang kotseng dala niya kanina ay mayroon din palang driver. Kuya didn't let her drive.

"Is it sweet?" She asked at isinubo sa sarili ang kasunod.

"Ang asim, Yenna!" I laugh. Wala naman akong sinabing matamis iyon.

"Why didn't you tell me? Why are you eating these?" She asked.

"Isinusubo mo e." I said and shrugged.

"Ahh kung isubo ko sa'yo 'tong—," I kissed her and smiled.

"You look so cute with those red nose and cheeks pero naiinis pa rin akong umiyak ang baby ko." She cupped my cheeks.

"Pinaiyak mo ko e." I pouted.

"Wow, ako pa? Ako nga nagpapatahan sa'yo." She chuckled.

Sabi ng Driver ay inutos daw ni Kuya na sa bahay na raw kami ihatid para makapagpahinga ako. Hindi naman na ako umangal dahil parang masama na rin ang pakiramdam ko, dahil siguro sa kaiiyak.

"Lady..." I called.

"Hhmm?"

"What did you... do to Lloyd?" I asked.

"You don't wanna know."

"Ano nga?"

She sighed bago umayos ng pagkakaupo.

"I had his post taken down and... I ordered my secretary to buy all the shares of their family in our companies. Settled na iyon lahat, in process na rin ang pagpapatalsik ko sa Daddy niya bilang CEO ng kumpanya nila." Napanganga ako sa sinabi niya.

"P-paano—,"

"I bought more shares in their company, enough to open a board voting of a new CEO dahil lumagpas na ang shares ko sa laki ng shares ng pinagsamasamang shares ng pamilya niya." Kinilabutan ako sa sinabi niya. She fvcking did that?

"That's not enough, I want them to have nothing. Kapag natanggal ang Daddy niya sa pwesto, mapipilitan silang ibenta ang mga properties nila to buy more shares in the company. Lahat ng iyon, ready to be bought by my secretary until all their shares would be burnt into ashes." Ramdam na ramdam ko ang galit na nararamdaman niya sa bawat salitang binibitawan niya.

"T-that's too much Lady."

"You think so? Let's see, my actions will depend on theirs, baby. Kung kakalabanin pa rin nila ako ay mapipilitan din akong lumaban. I am not that easy to back down." I can feel her determination in what she said. Napabuga na lang ako ng hangin.

Ang masasabi ko lang kay Lloyd? Oh, bobo.

"All other users who posted hate comments were all reported as well. I also have my people tracked down those users so I can file cases—,"

"Lady! Don't do that na. I—it's okay!" Agap ko. Masyadong marami ang mga taong iyon at ayoko nang palakihin pa ito.

"Baby, they hurt you with their words. Hindi ako papayag na hindi sila maparusahan—,"

"Okay naman na ako, Lady... T-tumahan naman na ako." I lowered my head.

"But those words will continue to creep into your mind. It won't let you sleep. How can I let them sleep with a guilt-free mind? I can't do that when I know that their words already affected your mind." Natigilan ako sa sinabi niya. How could she think so deeply? Tama siya, hindi iyon basta-basta mawawala sa isip ko. It hurt me to the core.

"Thank you, Lady." I said and hugged her.

"Of course, baby..."

Nakarating kami sa bahay at agad akong ginapang ng kaba nang makita ko ang sasakyang ginagamit ni Mommy. She's here. My Mom's here.
