The Empire Series 5: Vanna Lei Shrewd

The Last Chapter

The long wooden table with gigantic chairs were set up on their backyard near the pool area. May tag-limang upuan sa magkabilang side ng mesa.Malamig ang ihip nang hangin kahit na tirik ang araw dahil sa transparent na UV at heat filter na pinasadya sa tapat ng buong bakuran.

Nakaupo si Vaughn Filan sa kabisera. Sa kabilang dulo naman nakapuwesto si Uni Verse Kaye. Hindi sumama ang asawa nito bilang respeto sa ama ni Klein Rich na nakaupo sa kanan ng ginang. Mr. Kurt Walgreen is seated on Uni Verse's right, next to Klein Rich. Katabi ni Vanna Lei ang nobyo. Her mother is seated one chair away from her, next to her dad. Her brother's are seated on their father's right side facing them.

"Ayoko nang magpaligoy-ligoy. I didn't like what you did to my daughter, Klein Rich. Binuntis mo ang anak ko nang hindi mo pinakakasalan," Vaughn stated.

Cloud stiffened. Ramdam iyon ni Vanna dahil nakahawak ito sa kamay niya sa ilalim ng mesa.

"Daddy naman. It was a mutual decision," saad niya sa ama.

"I did not ask you to speak," Vaughn said sternly reprimanding her. Pinisil ni Cloud ang kamay niya nang makitang sasagot pa siya.

Von Liam who's seated infront of her shook his head.

"I will take full responsibility about that, sir. Kaya nga po gusto kong ikasal na kami sa lalong madaling panahon," Klein stated bravely meeting her father's gaze. Nginitian niya ang nobyo. The latter held her hand tightly under the table and smiled lovingly at her.

"Do you think I would like my daughter to march to the altar with a bulging tummy?" striktong saad ng ama. She saw how Klein swallowed hard. Hindi ito nakasagot.

"May I butt in," Uni Verse interjected. Napatingin sila rito.

"Perhaps, you can have the church wedding after Vanna gives birth, but we can arrange their civil wedding for legality. Para bago maipanganak ang baby kasal na sila," pahayag nito.

"Sounds great," Lianna seconded. Vaughn didn't look convinced.

"Sana kasi pinakasalan mo muna ang anak ko bago mo binuntis," saad ulit nito kay Klein.

Uni Verse cleared her throat.

"Ang totoo niyan, balae. Pinakasalan naman talaga ng anak ko si Vanna," nakangiting pahayag ng ginang.

"Sa lahat pa nga ng bansa sa mundo. Iyon nga lang sa maling paraan at hindi alam ni Vanna." Uni Verse chuckled. She blinked twice upon hearing Uni Verse's statement. She didn't expect their global head to announced that confidential information.

Vaughn's forehead creased. Sumulyap ito kay Klein na nahihiyang napayuko.

"He hacked the registry of the world and registered a marriage between them," Uni Verse added.

Napapantastikuhang napatingin ang pamilya niya kay Klein. The latter smiled nervously as he leveled his gaze.

"I dissolved it later on. Nagalit kasi si Vanna," depensa agad ng binata. Her family already knew that Klein is the head of IF.

Nagulat siya nang biglang ngumiti ang ina ng malapad.

"Oh my God, that was so sweet of you," Lianna exclaimed.

"Nang-hacked siya ng sistema. That's a crime. You found it sweet?" naiinis namang tanong ni Vaughn sa asawa.

Lianna laughed at her husband.
