Kadriel FernandoNaalimpungatan si Fernando. May nakadagan sa kanyang dibdib. Isang mabigat na bagay. He opened his eyes and saw it was Charinda beside him. Sleeping. Nakatagilid ito at nakanganga ang bibig habang salubong ang kilay.Charinda moaned and her face contorted in pain.What was she dreaming right now?Using his fingertips, he straightened her furrowed brows. She leaned on his touch and snuggled closer to him.Damn.Charinda’s scent knocked him off. He was not the type of bastard who would take advantage of a woman especially if she was on her weakness point but her lips were inviting him to kiss her.Fernando gulped.Why were her lips so red and plump?He hardened down there and mentally kicked himself.The woman trusted him right now at hindi niya dapat ito i-take advantage.Be a good boy, Fernando and resist whatever temptation. Even if you got a boner down there.It was still five o’clock in the morning. Malayo-layo pa ang kailangan niyang hintayin bago magising ang bab

Laglag ang balikat na bumalik si Charinda sa room ni Tito Sandro. Laman pa rin ng isipan niya ang text na pinadala ni Oman. The man was very vocal when it comes to his feelings, pero iba pa rin ang impact kapag nabasa niya ang nilalaman ng puso nito. Mahina niyang sinampal ang magkabilang pisngi. What happened was already done. Hindi na niya pwedeng bawiin ang lahat ng mga salitang sinabi na niya. Humugot siya nang sunod-sunod na hininga. Hindi dapat ganito ang mukhang isasalubong niya kay Fernando. Baka kung ano ang isipin nito sa kanya. After taking a deep breath, Charinda knocked on the door and opened it. “What’s up? Nag-usap na kayong dalawa ni Teacher Oman?” pa-chill na tanong nito sa kanya. Nanulis ang nguso niya. Hindi man lang nito nagawang magtaas ng tingin. He was working on his laptop. “Did your secretary come here?” “No. Kasali ang laptop sa pinadala ko kay Oly. You did not answer my question, Charinda.” “We did.” “And?” tanong nito, hindi pa rin magawang mag

SINURI ni Charinda ang kinalalagyan niya. Nasa kulungan siya. Nilatagan ng mga dayami ang sahig at mapanghi ang amoy sa paligid. Masyadong pulido ang mga harang sa mga bintana at mahihirapan siyang baliin iyon. Pero nasaan si Fernando? Bakit wala ito sa kwartong kinalalagyan niya?“Sumunod ka kung gusto mong makita ang hinahanap mo.” Nasa labas si Pantio. Nakatingin sa kanya. “Buksan ninyo ang silda.” Isa sa mga tauhan nito ang lumapit na may dalang malaking susi. Ilang sandali lamang, nasa labas na siya.As they were walking, she made sure to drink every important details of the place. Sa kanilang tabi, may mga kahon na nakatambak. Isang lalaki ang nagbukas ng isa sa mga iyon at inilabas ang kumikinang na baby armalite. Kung ganoon, ito ang pagawaan ng mga baril. Dito lang pala itinatago ni Pantio ang mga baril nito. Ilang taon na ring hinahanap ng mga pulisya at NBI ang lugar na ito ngunit hindi nila makita.“ How is your business?”“Successful and keep on expanding. May mga kusto

"Are we really doing this?" ilang beses na tanong ni Charinda. “Pwede ka pang umatras kung gusto mo, Fernando.” Ngumiti lang si Kadriel. Her heart skipped. How she loved seeing those smiles. Damn. Bakit nga ulit siya nahulog sa lalaking ito? He is kind. Handsome. Good provider. Above all, he loves you more than his life. Even if it sounded wrong for you. Charinda’s expression softened as she looked at the man. Right. And she also loved him. Her billionaire boss. Kaharap nila ang kaibigang mayor ni Kadriel. They will have their civil wedding sa maliit na opisina nito kasama ang ilang tauhan ng lalaki. Nobody knew about this wedding. Sila lang dalawa and the employees of this Local Government Unit. "For the tenth time, yes we are doing this, Charinda. We both passed twenty-five years old. Hindi na kailangang humingi tayo ng approval sa parents and guardian natin." Right. Even her aunt and uncle did not know about this. Wala rin si Kent. Silang dalawa lang at ang matinding pagm
