Love against Law

1

I continue to walk until I reached the Information desk.

"I'm looking for the owner of this building."

"Maam. The Sir's office or I should say Floor is highly confidential. Pero if may meeting po kayo, pwede po kayong magpa schedule muna." Malditang sabi nya.

Oh Ofcourse. She wouldn't say it to a stranger. So me being a good and humble woman, I showed her my I.D

"54th floor p-po Maam-m..." Nanginginig na sambit nya. Tss. You should be.

Naglakad na ako diretso sa Elevator na boss lang nila ang tangig gumagamit at mas lalong lumaki ang buka ng bibig nya. I can see her from here. The elevator is made of freaking glass.

Now people, it's what you called, rich.

I pressed number 54.

Ting.

Paglabas ko sa elevator, lahat ng tao na nasa department bago ang opisina nya ay napa lingon sakin. Tss. New employee's I think? Mentally giving myself a round of applause right now.

Before I could open the damn knob, I saw Some dog na busy nag eencode sa isang MacbookPro habang may kausap sa telepono.

A little comeback wouldn't hurt, yeah?

So I approached the secretary. Pero bago pa ako maka pag salita humarap sya sa akin at nabitawan nya ang teleponong hawak.

"Hi Best! Miss me?" I said with twinkling eyes.

She just stared me with mixed emotions. But she's not the reason bat ako nandito and I'm done dealing with all her shits 6 years ago.

Bumalik ako sa pinto at binuksan ito pagkatapos sinirado ko at nilock.

And then I saw him. The devil. Facing back at me, looking at the whole city from the 54th floor.

No need for shits. I came to say what I came for. As I sit on the chair sa harapan ng table nya, napaligon sya.

He was lost for words and then a lot of emotions run across his face.

"I just came here to say what I have to say and ask." Directang sabi ko. Damn those looks. Damn those eyes. Damn that freakin' lips...

"Mira..." and by that I lost all my patience. Pati script na isang araw ko pinagpractisan nawala sa utak ko. Damn it.

"Why didn't you sign the divorce papers, Luke?!"

"Mira... I-" sabi nya at lumapit sa akin. But bago nya pa mahaplos ang pisngi ko, tumayo na ako and I slap his away.

"Damn it, Luke Ezekiel Sanchez!" I hissed at kinuha ang bagong Divorce papers, since pinunit nya yung unang pinadala ko dito Six years ago.

"Sign. It!" Sigaw ko at umupo. Crossing my arms and killing him in my mind.

"Queen Miracle Blanche Ford, for the nth time," he paused and smirked.

"Never. -Oh, let me rephrase that Queen Miracle Blanche Ford-Sanchez. Never."

Tumayo na ako at hinamon ang matatalas nyang tingin.

"I am a good Lawyer Mr. Sanchez. Too much good that I graduated as Magna Cum-Laude at Princeton University. Don't sign it now? Fine. But one thing is for sure, I will get rid of that -Sanchez in my name." I said those words grinning my teeth.

"I am a Law Graduate as the Magna Cum-Laude at University of the Philippines too, Mrs. Sanchez. Not to mention I have Flat one grades in all my Law subjects." He's challenging me, huh?

"Tanga ka ba? Flat One lahat ng mga Magna Cum-Laude! Listen, I am a Multi-Trillionaire Mr. Sanchez. Not to include my Billions of money JUST from my clients. So if I we're you, I'd be threaten by now." Nauubos na talaga pasensya ko.

"I'm a Multi-Trillionaire too, Mrs. Sanchez. Not to mention the Billions of income from my Law school and my company." Then he smirked.

"Atleast I am not the kind of Law student who dates her Fiancée's best friend just because she's a model and her Fiancée is a nerd way back in college of Law school studying across the country not knowing that her Fiancée is running for Magna Cum-Laude! And then cheated on her Fiancée right after the wedding reception! And keep seeing each other for 1 year until her 'wife' noticed!"

He sighed, as a sighed if defeat.

"Mira..."

"No! You listen to me Luke! You will sign that papers because I say so." And at the last tree words of that sentence my voice cracked.

"I'm giving what you want Luke. And now ikaw itong hindi mag co-cooperate? Are you nuts?! Asan ang pagiging Abogado mo?!"

"Asan ang emosyon mo?!" Sigaw nya pabalik na ikinatahimik ko. Kaya nagpatulog sya sa pagsasalita.

"You didn't let me explain! Please... Sunshine, give me another chance, hear my side.." He pleaded at hinawakan nya ang magkabilang shoulders ko.

If I was the Mira 6 years ago baka yakapin ko pa sya. But now? Who's Mira anyway?

I'm Queen Blanche Miracle Ford... Sanchez. I'm still a Sanchez but I am far from being a puppet now. So done.

I slap away his hands from my shoulder. I grab my things at iniwan ang divorce papers sa table nya.

Ready to leave but I still have my farewell words,

"Kung sana hindi sya ang Secretary mo ngayon, baka mag bago pa ang isip ko. But anyways. I'm done with you so bahala ka na sa buhay mo." Aalis na sana ako pero may nakalimutan ako.

Kinuha ko ang wedding ring namin sa bag ko. I hid this the moment I filed the Divorce papers six years ago, and I have the gut of giving it back to him. Baka kailanganin nyang ibenta to and give the 10 billion money para isweldo sa 'Secretary' nya.

He was shocked as I placed the ring right before his hands and I saw the our wedding ring still on his ring finger.

Before I slam the door, I said,

"Oh by the way Luke. I want that front desk lady in the first floor to know me. Oh, even the new employees too. Afterall, It's still a Sanchez-Ford Group of Companies." I smirked and finally I shut the door close.

And I drove home with my personalized Lambo.

Queen Blanche Miracle Ford freaking -Sanchez, 32, International Lawyer. Soon not to be Sanchez.
