Tahimik akong nakatitig kay Sabrina habang tinuturuan siya ng tutor niya. She is so pretty. Damn, bakit niya ako pinapahirapan ng ganito? Even the small movements of her head, she can do it beautifully.
Come on Saint! Stop drooling over Sabrina! Tsaka hindi dapat ako mahulog sakanya, she is just a job! Kailangan ko lang naman siyang bantayan at siguraduhin ang kaligtasan niya! Nothing more...and nothing less...
"Sir Saint, tapos ko na pong turuan si Maam Sabrina. Babalik nalang ako bukas." Sabi ng tutor. ni Klea, tumango lang ako sakanya at pinanood si Klea na niligpit ang mga gamit niya.
Bahagya siyang tumingin saakin at nagulat ata siya nang makita niya akong nakatingin din sakanya. I raised my eyebrows at her, at sinuklian niya naman ako ng matamis na ngiti. Naramdaman ko ang pag bilis ng tibok ng puso ko dahil sa ngiti nayun.
Stop, Saint! She is only seventeen for pete's sake! Itigil mo 'yang nararamdaman mo! Bawal! At kahit kailan ay hinding-hindi magiging pwede!
"Bakit Saint? May problema ba?" She asked me innocently. Ah...my heart.
"Hmm? Wala. Nevermind me, just continue what you're doing." I said, tumango siya saakin at nagpatuloy sa pagliligpit ng mga gamit niya.
Dumaan ang maraming araw at hindi ko maikakaila na wala talagang nagbago sa nararamdaman ko kay Klea. Fuck, fuck! Damn this! Hindi pwede!
Maari siyang mapahamak dahil sa ginagawa ko! Pwedeng malaman ng mga Sudalga 'to at baka gamiting asset si Klea as one of my weakness. At hinding-hindi ko hahayaan na may mangyayaring masama sakanya. Not on my watch.
"Uh-huh? So you're saying that you are going to enroll Sabrina into a school kung saan nasaan ang anak ni Sudalga?" Manzo asked, tahimik akong nakaupo sa mahabang sofa at tumango sa sinabi niya.
"Isn't that dangerous, Saint? I mean, it's public. A lot of people are going to notice you and Sabrina. It's not that easy." Sabi naman ni Ignatius.
I sighed. "That's why I called you here. I have to have someone accompanying me, while investigating the son of Sudalga." I said. Napatingin si Manzo at Ignatius sa kawalan.
"Nah, pass. I need to take care of the Traspe's." Sabi niya. Traspe? Anong meron sa mga Traspe?
"Why? What is happening between them?" Tanong ko.
"They are planning to raid my empire. Zoldyck's and Traspe's are never friends." Natatawang sabi ni Manzo. Napatango nalang ako sa sinabi ni Manzo.
I don't like the Traspe's too, they are so cunning when it comes to tradings. At hindi sila dapat pagkatiwalaan.
"Rigorio Traspe also planning to pass his throne to his Son, Ruel Traspe." Right. I heard a lot a about Ruel too. But, I don't negotiate to them a lot, dahil nga sa mga dahilang nasabi ko kanina.
"They're already expanding?" Naguguluhang tanong ni Ignatius.
Ignatius is a Verdelle, and their empire is the one who is producing the poison in our organization. Thanks to Illumine who is very smart and able to think of a ingredients to make a poison. While, Ignatius is the one who is negotiating them in the other empires.
Like my empire, I've been buying a lot of poison, for future use.
"Yeah, I am planning on expanding too. I don't want a wife though, so maybe adopting is the best choice?" Patanong na sabi Manzo.
"Manchester Zoldyck, doesn't want a wife? That's shocking!" Natatawa kong sabi, kahit si Ignatius ay napatawa narin sa sinabi ko.
Well, in this organization Manzo is very well known of being the nation's most wanted fuckboy. Not kidding aside but that was true. Hindi ko nga alam bakit maraming gusto magpa home base sakanya.
"How about you? Any plans of expanding the Santillana Empire?" Nakangising tanong ni Manzo saakin. I chuckled, I'm in danger.
"I don't know yet, it's kinda hassle though. And I am thinking about adoption tooㅡ"
"Nah! Don't fool us, I know you want to expand your blood with Sabrina." Nakangisi niyang sabi. Agad tumakas ang ngiti sa labi ko at nagkibit balikat.
"Saint Angelous Santillana, smiling because of a girl. Well, that's very shocking!" Pag gaya ni Manzo sa pananalita ko kanina sakanya. Napailing-iling nalang ako habang si Ignatius ay tahimik parin at tumatawa nang kaunti.
"Court her, man! You would do everything for her right?" Nakangising tanong ni Manzo.
"It depends on the situation, her being with me is like wishing a death wish. Kaya huwag nalang." I traced. Totoo naman 'yon, Klea can't have me and I can't have her. Wala na akong magagawa.
Manzo hissed. "Come on, bud. Fight for her even if it's forbidden. It's love bro, no one can stop that stupid feeling."
"Says the man who fucks and leave every single girl he met." I said sarcastically.
"Yeah, yeah, I fuck a lot. But when it comes to the girl I love? I would do every thing just to appear holy and innocent." Nakangising saad ni Manzo.
"How about you, Ignatius? Any plans of expansion?" Pag-iiba ko ng tanong. Ayokong na sesentro ng usapan, dahil naiilang ako. Tsaka, I am too young for expansion though. So it doesn't matter to me, yet.
"Me? Expanding the Verdelle's? Nah, I think my sisters can do that better." Sabi niya.
Yeah, the Verdelle bloodline of girls is very weird. The girls had the attitude of sleeping with one men on the other, just for expansion. Just imagine how big, Verdelle bloodline is.
They might occupy a whole city with just their relatives living on it.
"Is Sabrina have any plans of expanding the Lacsamana too? I might help her." Nakangising saad ni Manzo, na agad nakapag init ng dugo ko.
I grabbed the gun at the table at agad itinutok sakanya.
"Don't you dare." Malalim kong sabi. Napatawa nalang si Manzo sa reaksyon ko.
I can't let other men come closer to Klea, she is mine. Mine, alone....
