The Heir (BL)

Chapter XXXV

Hernandez Residence

"Simon is not your father, Luke. Pinalabas ko lang sa Daddy ko na siya ang ama mo. Simon knows that you are not his son dahil kahit kailan walang nangyari sa aming dalawa. It is all part of his game." pagsiwalat ni Eunice ng katotohanan sa harapan ng kanyang anak at ng kasintahan nito.

Nanlalaki ang mata ni Luke at Winchester. Nagkatinginan ang dalawa dahil hindi nila maunawaan ang sinasabi ng ginang sa kanila.

"Marcos Castillo.. He was my lover. But unfortunately, isa lang siyang family driver ng mga Hernandez. Dad wants me to be married to someone in the circle of aristocrats. Pero hindi ako pumayag. And when he forced me to do so, nalaman kong nagkakagusto sa akin ang anak ni Thomas Laurente. Si Simon. And I taken that opportunity. Para itago ang totoo kong relasyon kay Marcos. But due to my actions, nabuntis ako ni Marcos and I had to find a way."

"That's why you coerced with Tito Simon that he is the father of your son... And in exchange, he will marry you off? Pero nagbago ang isip mo after finding out what he really is." dugtong ni Winchester sa naputol na sasabihin ni Eunice.

"And when you changed your mind, it was too late. Tito Simon was eyeing the wealth of the Hernandez for too long.."

"Natatakot ako sa pwede niyang gawin sa anak ko... He will treat him like his puppet. At ayokong mangyari yun kay Luke. So I told my Dad about Simon getting me pregnant at iyon ay sobrang kinagalit niya. He doesn't want to be associated with DLM Group."

Tiningnan lang ni Winchester ang mukha ng kanyang nobyo. Alam niyang nahihirapan itong iproseso lahat ng kanyang nalalaman.

"Simon is not just a drug dealer, Luke.. He is also managing an underground black market of weapons and machines that are banned by all governments. Kaya natatakot ako. I was scares that he will make you into his rotten legacy."

"You don't need to worry about that now, Tita.. Alam na ng lahat ng government agencies ang tungkol sa illegal activities ni Tito Simon... And we collected enough evidence para mapatunayan na siya ang nagpapatakbo ng mga iyon.. And I have spoken to all the shareholders in a secret meeting at alam na nilang lahat ang ginagawa ni Tito Simon. And they unanimously voted for his ouster. And since Achilles is the CEO of the company, and he is his legal son, itratransfer kay Achilles lahat ng assets and properties niya dahil na rin sa kasunduan ni Dad at ni Sir Thomas before they built DLM Group from scratch. That rule was also applied to me."

Napangiti naman si Eunice sa naging paliwanag ni Winchester. Nagpapasalamat siya at mabilis ang naging pagkilos ng nobyo ng kanyang anak.

Hinawakan niya ang kamay ni Winchester at ngumiti din naman ang binata sa ginang.

"Thank you for doing this, Winchester. Alam kong ikaw lang din ang makakagawa nito para sa anak ko. And for Simon to be stopped already. Hindi natin alam kung anong susunod niyang gagawin."

"Sigurado akong naghahanda na siya sa pagpapakilala niya sa akin sa susunod na araw. Hindi ko talaga akalain na gagamitin niya ako para lamang sa sarili niyang kagustuhan. Napakasama niya."

   Napakuyom nalang ng kanyang palad si Luke at tiningnan naman siya ni Eunice na may pagkabahala.

    "Luke.. Kung ano man ang iniisip mo, huwag mo na munang gawin. Kailangan nating mag-ingat."

    "May plano na ako para sa party... And each one of you have to listen.. It will be the downfall of Simon Laurente. And if we get lucky, you can slap him in his face as much as you want."
