My Nosy Paparazzi

Chapter 39

Her life was in shreds.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Calli realized that she haven’t had a proper sleep during the last few days. She looked paler than usual, and there were huge bags beneath her eyes.

She was running out of options. Escape from Monaco was no longer a choice.

Sinubok niyang itakas ang kapatid mula sa kulungan. Diesel even tried to help them escape. He used his authority as a monarch para makaalis sila.

There was a huge tunnel near the prison cell. The prince himself bribed the jail guard to open the door leading to the tunnel.

“Hurry, Clay..” Hila-hila niya ang kamay ng kapatid habang naglalakad sila sa madilim na parte ng underground prison cell.

“As soon as you reach the end of the tunnel, merong naghihintay na sasakyan sa highway. I’ve arranged a flight in New York for you both.” Diesel was giving them instructions habang palinga-linga ito sa likod niya, checking if there were palace guards following them.

“Thank you. Thank you so much.” She gave him one quick hug then planted a kiss on his cheek. “ I owe you a date.”

Napasinghap siya nang bigla siya nitong hinila.” How about some nice tumble in bed?” He whispered in her ear.

She pinched his nose in return. “You never really change, you rascal.”

He grinned playfully. “A man can only hope, Calli.” Sinulyapan nito ang kapatid niya. “You two better get going.” Nagsimula na ulit itong maglakad sa unahan para i-guide sila sa tunnel.

They were almost there nang mapansin niyang kinakapusan ng hininga si Clayton. His pace was slowing down as well.

“You okay?” She checked out in him.

Her brother smiled weakly. “Yeah sis. We need to keep going.” He struggled to keep up with them. “I’m fine.”

Tumango siya. Pero ilang segundo lang ang nakalilipas ay nakarinig siya ng ingay sa di kalayuan. Parang may bumagsak na bagay sa kanilang likuran.

“Clay!” Agad niyang dinaluhan ang kapatid nang makita niya itong nakasalampak sa dingding. Nakadukot ang kamay nito sa dibdib.

Oh God. Her brother is having an asthma attack. Mabilis itong inaatake ng asthma kapag masyadong makapal ang alikabok sa paligid.

“We have to get back!” Nagpa-panic na siya dahil wala siyang hawak na inhaler para kay Clayton. Tinulungan niyang makatayo ang kapatid saka isinampay ang braso nito sa balikat niya.

Nilukot nito ang harapan ng damit niya. Her brother was panting so hard as he struggled for words. “Leave m-me. G-go o-on and escape.” He drew quick agonizing breaths na ikinabahala niya.

She shrugged in disapproval then kept on walking back in the prison cell. Inalalayan siya ni Diesel sa pagkarga sa kapatid.

“He needs an inhaler! You there,” Tawag nito sa jail guard na binigyan nito ng bribe. “...call for someone upstairs! Get the doctor’s ass in here!” The prince ordered impatiently habang tinutulungan siyang ipasok ulit ang kapatid sa kulungan nito.

Agad namang tumalima ang jail guard. He barked orders on his walkie-talkie then helped them with his brother.

Mabuti na lang at nandoon si Diesel sa tabi niya nang mga sandaling iyon. She can never provide instant medication to his brother dahil nakakulong ito.
