Blesserie looked at the window of the car when an old man and a woman knocked it.

She quickly lifted her head and studied the people outside the car and noticed how quick her men are and so as the ghosts of Harry's men. Parang mga kabute na nagsulputan ang mga iyon sa may likuran ng tatlong tao na iyon na parang namumukhaan niya ang babae—Shania Gomèz.

Kaagad niyang nasuri ang hitsura niyon at kahit hindi niya sabihin na nai-intimidate siya ay normal yatang reaksyon ng babaeng nagmamahal ang matakot sa ex ng boyfriend kahit na kasing itim pa iyon ng pwet ng kaldero o kasing pangit ng unggoy.

Alam niyang maganda siya pero sobrang ganda pala ng kababata ni Harry. Matured na itong tingnan, hindi tulad niya na kahit anong pahid ng kolorete sa mukha ay lumalabas pa rin ang tunay na edad kapag natitigan nang matagal.

Nakita niyang sinenyasan ng matandang lalaki na mukhang foreigner ang hitsura ang mga tauhan ni Harry pero hindi umalis ang mga iyon. Mukhang sa bilin lang ni Harrison sumusunod ang mga lalaking iyon at hindi sa kung kaninong pilato.

And she felt protected. Ang sarap sa pakiramdam na pati pala siya ay pinababantayan na niyon sa mga sariling tauhan.

Pinindot niya ang buton para bumaba ang salamin ng bintana at saka kumurap-kurap.

Natulala ang lalaki sa kanya at nakaawang pa ang mga labi niyon na parang nakakita ng multo. The woman is gazing at her in a very casual manner. Hindi iyon tipikal na uri ng ex na mukhang manlalaslas ng leeg ng present girlfriend.

“Guten abend, meine dame.” aniyon sa kanya. “Good evening, my lady.”

“Good evening. What can I do for them?” Napasulyap siya sa isang bakla na nakatayo sa may likod ng babae na parang iirap-irap sa kanya pero hindi niya pinansin dahil kung wala siyang lagnat, mababaklas ang anit niyon maya-maya lang.

“I am Shania Gomèz, Lourdy's fiancée.” Ani Shania sa kanya. “Now I see why he's so fascinated. You're truly beautiful but the man you're dating is destined to marry me through our family's affixation. I am his father's choice and no one can stop the old Rothschild. We're here to bring him back to Germany and stop his obsession. It doesn't bring any good to his father. If you're really a woman of great values, like what the tabloids said, prove it, Miss Blesserie Zaragosa. Don't ruin their relationship. I am asking you not just because I love him but also because of my godfather who happens to be his father.” mahabang sabi niyon na parang mga bato na dumagok sa kanya.

“They're having miscommunication and Harry is so eager to ruin his legacy as the only successor of the empire. If you have a heart, please my lady, help him head home as soon as possible.” Malumanay naman na pakiusap ng lalaki sa kanya na may kabuntot na malungkot na ngiti.

Her eyes welled up in tears. Mataray siya, oo, pero kapag usapang relasyon ng pamilya, tiklop siya dahil hindi siya pinalaki ng mga magulang niyang makasarili at madamot.

She smiled bitterly, heart in pain and agony. Hindi pa man lang umuuwi si Harry ay parang nagluluksa na ang puso niya.

“He told me that he filed a leave of absence for a month and it's not yet overdue. Why are you being threatened by his one month stay? What are you so afraid of? That he might no longer find his way home or will intend not to find his way back to Germany? Am I a great threat? Why not ask him to come home either and why me? But don't worry Mister and Miss, Harry would go home once the visit has finally ended. You never have to worry about losing a successor of the Rothschild empire because I will make sure that he will never leave his calling and so as will never break the legacy of his father, specially their relationship. Would that be all? I am sick and I want to rest. Good night.” She replied casually, trying not to sound so rude.
