DEVIL'S WRATH 6: Cruise Delmonio (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 7

Parang hinalungkat ang loob ng tiyan ko dahil sa sinabi niya, kaagad na yumukod si Jack sa kanya sa di kalayuan.

"Nasa iyo ang katapatan ko your highness."

I looked away when I heard what he said.

"I know Jack, you know me. I also know you’re afraid of dying young. You can go."

I swallowed when he turned to me and put his arm around me. I don’t know why I suddenly got nervous because of what he said to Jack. I’ll finish this mission without him knowing that I have a connection with the butler he trusts.

"But your highness—"

"Ang sabi ko maiwan ka rito, Jack. My wife doesn’t want any bodyguards. I’ll drive, you can still monitor us. One more ‘but’ and you’ll know."

I heard him say to Jack, so I went to them. Jack immediately looked at me, so he looked in my direction. He turned back to Jack, but I was surprised because he suddenly grabbed his collar.

"What the fuck are you staring at? Do you like my wife, huh?"

"Cruise, ano ba." Pigil ko sa kanya ngunit nakatuon lang si Jack na tila nakahanda na kapag sinapak niya ito.

"Sobrang ganda po ng asawa niyo, your highness, pero hindi ko siya aagawin sa inyo."

"Talaga lang Jack dahil pupugutan talaga kita ng ulo kapag nangyari 'yon. Sa'kin kalang tumingin, isang lingon pa sa kanya dudukutin ko yang mga mata mo."

***********

Literal akong napanganga nang makita ko si Duncan na nakasandal sa headboard ng hospital bed, marami siyang pasa at nakasuot pa siya ng neck support. Sinamaan ko ng tingin ang asawa kong demonyo na ngayon ay madilim ang mukha habang nakaupo sa di kalayuan.

Maya-maya lang ay tumayo na siya at hinawakan ako sa kamay.

"Let's go, nakita mo na siya and he's not dead."

Malamig na boses niyang sabi, kaagad ko naman siya sinamaan ng  tingin, nagkasukatan pa kami ng tingin dahil ayaw niyang bitawan ang kamay ko. Anak nang! Eh kakapasok palang namin dito aalis na agad kami? Is he really jealous with Duncan? Totoo ba talaga?

"I'll talk to him." giit ko sa kanya. Mas lalong nangunot ang noo niya at gumalaw pa ang panga niya.

"Let's go." malamig na boses niyang sabi.

"I said... I'll talk to him!"
Nagliyab ang mga mata niya at nilingon  niya si Duncan at para bang kakainin niya ito ng buhay.

"Try to stare at her idederetso kita sa morge!"

He immediately let go of my hand and slammed back into his seat. We stared at each other from a distance for a long time, his eyebrows furrowed. I looked away and turned my attention back to Duncan, who was now looking down.

"Duncan… how are you?”

"I-I’m fine ma’am…"

He said, stuttering, and he didn’t even look up to look at me. I felt guilty for what he did to my lawyer. It turns out he really beat him up. I felt like he said something else, which is why Duncan was so scared of him.
