The Devil's One and Only Love ★

Fifty-Five Years Ago

Chapter Fifty

"Baby are you okay? you look pale." nag aalalang tanong ko kay Alexis pagpasok ko sa kwarto namin.

napatingin sya sakin. nagulat nalang ako nung may luha yung mata nya.

"Sino si Reynaldo Valdez?" she said in a broken voice. that caught me off guard

"What?"

"Sino si Reynaldo Valdez sa buhay mo?" she asked seriously.

"why are you asking me this?" tumayo sya saka inabot yung palad ko at may nilagay na papel dun.

binuksan ko yun saka binasa.

clocks ticking. so is your life, Alexis Sanvictores. you're not what i want you're just a bait to get to me to what i need. tell this to your ex-Fiancé Steven Gonzales

R.Valdez

"where did you get this?!" marahas kong tanong.

"He himself put it inside my bag. i saw him in En Suite. but he never had the chance to get me because i was with the girls." tumingin sya sakin ng seryoso. "So tell me. anung meron kay Valdez?!"

"Alexis-"

"JUST ANSWER ME DAMNIT!" sigaw nya sakin. there are only few instances  that she shouted at me. and i knew damn well that she's freaking mad right now.

"bat di ka makapag salita? tama bang sabihin ko na sya ang pumatay kila Lizzy?! and you wanted revenge for them?! am i right?!"

napatanga ako sa sinabi nya. she knows?!

"I just put the pieces together." mariing sabi nya na sumagot sa tanong ko sa isip ko. "and Jerome Lee? anung kinalaman nya sa nangyari Five years ago?!"

"ANSWER MEEE!" she shouted.

there's no use of hiding the truth from her. she knows it.

"Listen, Angel." i said in resigned tone.

di maalis alis yung ngiti ko habang tinitignan yung wedding ring namin ni Alexis.

bukas magiging asawa ko na si Alexis. after one year of being together. finally. magiging asawa ko na sya.

tumigil lang ako sa pag iisip nung magring yung iphone ko. ngingiti ngiti ko pang sinagot yun.

pero nawala yung ngiti ko nung marinig ko yung sasabihin nung kausap ko.

"Code Red Steven. alam na ni Valdez yung tungkol sa Luminary." mariing sabi ni Ken sa kabilang linya.

"Meet me in Empress after two hours." marahas na sabi ko saka bumangon.

dumiretso ako sa kwarto ni Adam saka ginising sya.

"WHATTHEFVCK,MAN?!" inis na sabi nya.

"Adam i have to talk to you." mariing sabi ko saka ibinangon sya sa pag kakahiga. "I cant marry your cousin tomorrow." dumilat sya saka marahas na tinabig yung kamay kong nasa balikat nya.

"Wag kang magbibiro ng ganyan."

"Sorry, Man." malungkot na sabi ko. nilapitan nya ko saka sinapak sa mukha.

"TANG INA MO! SA DINAMI DAMI NG PAG LALARUAN, PINSAN KO PA? TANG INA KA!"

"MY LIFE IS IN DANGER!" i shouted. napatigil sya saka tumingin sakin.

"What?"

"ipapapatay ako ni Reynaldo Valdez." napasinghap sya saka tumingin sakin.
