• A Wild Turn: THE SECRET CEO’S CONTRACT GIRLFRIEND   CHAPTER 50.2

  —THIRD PERSON'S VIEW— Malakas na tumawag si Janice habang nakipag-clank ng kanyang inumin sa katabi niya. Maingay ang buong paligid. May mga nagsasayawan na sa dance floor at hindi mo na alam kung nagsasayawan pa ba sila o mayroon ng mga milagrong nangyayari. Sobrang liwanag ng mga ilaw at apakalakas ng musika na nanggagaling sa malalaking speakers na nasa stage. Si Janice ay nakaupo sa isa sa mga VIP Lounge sa taas ng bar kasama si Jared, Escanor at ilan sa mga kilala niya sa underground. Oh, well, looks like Queen J is just around the corner sipping her martini deliciously like a tasteful poison. "Alam mo, by now, nasa hospital na ang babaeng iyon," aniya at humarap kay Escanor. Hinawakan niya ang mukha nito at saka hinalikan ang pisngi niyo. "Thanks to all of you, Escanor." Pumikit si Escanor at saka nag-lean in sa couch at uminom ng kanyang alak. "I just did my job. That's all." Janice chuckled. "Oh, you're re

  —RED'S POV— "Ellyn! Ellyn! You're gonna be fine, okay? You're gonna be fine! Trust me, wifey! Hold on, okay?!" Ellyn smiled weakly at me as she held my hand with just a tiny bit of her finger. "Hindi ako mamamatay pa, Red," sabi niya habang inaasikaso siya ng mga medical assistants sa emergency room. Ellyn is looking pale right now. Her eyes are very sleepy. Her body seems so weak unlike before. Her pulse is slowing down. And I'm panicking. What happened? Well, let's move backward. Yes, backward. Sa iba ay forward pero sa akin, kailangan kong maipaliwanag kung ano ang nangyari. It has been a couple of days since the visit of Vera in our home. I purposely made her do that to investigate. When she finally caught up on making Ellyn entertained—well, she herself admitted that she may have been caught up in the moment too and enjoyed her little fun girl together with my wife—she finally get a piece of evidence on my wife's ring by carefully rubbing the inner circle. She also checke

  — THIRD PERSON’S VIEW — Like what they’ve talked about kanina, pumasok na si Vera sa mansion nina Red at Ellyn para makipag-girl’s talk kay Ellyn. Kahit ilang taon nang secretary siya ni Red ay ni minsan hindi siya nakapasok sa bahay nito. But now, she stepped in his house without even her boss knowing na nandito na siya. It is so big. Kayang-kaya nila palang tumira dito ng silang dalawa lang? “Tara sa kusina,” aya ni Ellyn kay Vera at sumunod naman agad siya dito habang taas ang ulong tinitignan pa din ang magarbong mansyon. Akala niya ay nakatira lang ang mga ito sa disenteng bahay na kasya lang talaga mismo ang dalawang tao because who would have thought na kakailanganin ng dalawang tao ang ganitong kalaking mansion, hindi ba? “Sorry for the super quiet environment,” pagpapaumahin ni Ellyn sa kanya habang papasok sila sa arko papuntang kusina. “Hindi kasi pinahintulutan ni Red na magkaroon kami ng mga yaya o kahit sinong pwedeng mag-assist sa amin. Kung gusto man namin ng ass

  —THIRD PERSON'S VIEW— Sabi nila na magiging mabait lang ang isang tao sa'yo kung ginawan mo siya ng kabutihan. Kapag naman ginawan mo siya ng mali, either mababalikan ka ng karma o magiging mabuti pa rin sa'yo ang taong iyon. "Huwag mo po akong patayin! Maawa po kayo sa akin! Maawa kayo!" Pero ang organisasyon na Red Crimson? "Kill him. Now." BANG! Iba ang kanilang patakaran. Kung may mabuti ka mang ginawa sa kanila at patuloy iyong ginagawa mo para sa ikauunlad ng kanilang organisasyon, ligtas ka, ngunit kapag nalaman nilang naging traydor o sumakabilang panig ka, hindi mo na makikita ang liwanag pa. Matapos ang pagputok ng baril direkta sa ulo ng lalaki, ang katawan niya ay bumagsak sa sahig kasabay ng upuang kanyang kinauupuan. Nakatali kasi ang mga kamay niya sa kanyang likuran sa may upuan, pati na rin ang kanyang mga paa. "Miss Vera, should we discard him?" tanong ng isang taong nakaitim.

  —ELLYN’S POV— Red is acting weird when we just got home. Well, he was like a gentleman as always. Pinagbubuksan niya ako ng pintuan whenever I will go out of his car, opening the door for me when I will step inside the house and taking my things out of my hands para hindi daw mabigat para sa akin ang mga bitbit ko. But he didn’t kiss me today. That’s what the WEIRD thing is. Hindi naman niya nakakalimutang mag-kiss sa akin. Ni sa cheeks nga ay wala akong natanggap mula sa kanya. Ano ba ang problema niya? Bakit siya nagkakaganto ngayon? Napabuntong-hininga na lamang ako at napaupo sa kama ng gaming kuwarto. Tinitigan ko ang singsing na ibibigay niya sa akin. He really made me his wife kahit na naka-contract kami. He made me feel like I am whole again. Na para bang hindi ko lang kakagaling sa break-up last time. He made me feel like I can be comfortable on my own body. That I need to take care of myself as always. He is the first man I have ever experienced na mahalaga ako at

  —RED’S POV—Class ended and the horrifying news is?My ex-f*cking-attention-seeker-girlfriend suddenly texted me to meet her at the parking lot as soon as the class had ended.Curled hair, red tube top in a pair of dark blue jeans, with that stil same old-lying-b*tch face I have so known of after all our years we’ve been together.Nang makita niya ako, she immediately smiled in the most angelic way na kaya niya—I would have preferred to see my wife with that smile; at least she has the most genuine smile I had ever seen—at kumaway sa direksyon ko.I sighed. With the strap of the shoulder bag in my shoulder, classy jeans and a sweater, I walked towards her i not-so-odlly unfriendly type of way.“Anong kailangan mo?” tanong ko kaagad. I don’t need any excuses to this woman. I don’t need the f*cking time to waste on someone like her.“Ooh, cold ka na sa akin ngayon, my dear? I thought we’ve been so, you know…” Kinagat niya ang pang-ibaba niyang labi habang onti-onting ginugulo ang kanya
