My Billionaire Bodyguard

Chapter 46

Elijah

"Nakakainis talaga. Hindi ko natunugan agad ang babaeng 'yon. Akala ko normal na estudyante lang na nakakairita at maingay."

I looked at Kio. Hanggang ngayon ay naririnig ko pa rin sa kaniya ang linya na 'to. It's been three days since I first heard it from him after I found out about who is Estrella Lee. Sinabi ko rin sa kaniya at kay Havoc nang gabing 'yon ang nalaman ko.

"Magaling talagang magpanggap."

After the incident in front of the university earlier, I received a short call from my mother asking me about Esther--her spy. But honestly, I was already expecting her spy to report to her after I found out about their secret—but I didn't think it would take three days for her to reach out my mother. Ngayon lang sinabi nito sa mom kung kailan nagkaroon ng pag-atake sa university. Kung kailan alam na rin ni Pristine.

Tatlong araw ang pinalipas.

Nalaman ko ang totoo sa katauhan ni Estrella Lee hindi dito sa university kung hindi nang may makita akong kahina-hinalang tao na ilang beses nang nagpapabalik-balik sa mansion ng mga Vera Esperanza. That was after Pristine and I came back from my house.

"Fighting me would only lead to bloodshed."

Naningkit ang mga mata ko sa babaeng nakatalikod sa akin. She was fully covered. Dressed in black, wearing a mask. I noticed the gun she held in her hand for a moment. I was generous enough not to shoot her when I first saw her lurking around the mansion.

Is she one of Halyago's men? O isa na naman 'to sa mga kaaway ng matandang 'yon na gustong mapatay si Pristine? I'm tired of that old man using his daughter as a shield for those who want him dead. His enemies think it would weaken Halyago Vera Esperanza, that he would be devastated if he lost his granddaughter. But, no...

Kung iisipin rin, ito ang unang beses na may nahuli akong umaaligid na babae. Kio already reported to me that he saw Halyago's men around when Pristine Felize was still in my house, kung tauhan ito ng matandang 'yon, ano pa ang kailangan nito?

That old man already knew that Pristine came back early this morning. He was here.

"Ano ang ginagawa mo sa mansion ng mga Vera Esperanza at sino ang nag-utos sa 'yo?"

I raised my gun at her, not to kill her but to get answers. I would only take her life after getting what I needed. Pero malakas ang kutob ko na hindi ito tauhan ni Halyago.

My eyebrow furrowed when the woman still didn't respond or move, remaining turned away from me. When I stepped closer, she finally shifted slightly. My teeth gritted after thinking that another enemy was after my baby's life.

"Are you..." my grip on the gun tightened, "here to kill the heiress?"

I noticed the woman's head tilted to my side. Pero pagkatapos non ay mabilis itong tumalikod at lumapit para umatake. Did she really want to die? If this was one of Halyago's ants, she would surely do anything to escape because that old man's men know who I am and what I'm capable of. But this woman had the guts to fight me back.

Nagpatuloy ako sa pag-iwas sa mga atake nito. I was still holding my gun, not doing anything to attack her. I was just avoiding while looking at the woman's face. Pero ang mga mata lang nito ang kita. When I made eye contact with her that last for a few seconds, I noticed something and suddenly, someome appeared in my mind.

The... fck.

My lips parted, and my eyes sharpened at the woman.

Mukhang napansin rin niya na sandali akong natigilan dahil umatras siya, akmang tatakas na, pero bago ito makalayo ay mabilis kong ibinalik sa likod ko ang baril at hinila ang kamay ng babae at ibinalya ito sa lupa.
