RECKLESS
Chapter 46

If this is a dream, I want to wake up right now!

Sa mga nakikita ko ngayon sa paligid ko, alam kong hindi na normal ang mga pangyayari. I know that Niel's abduction is not normal in the first place. Wala akong alam na motibo nila lalo at wala man lamang tumatawag dito sa bahay kung ano ang gusto nilang kapalit ni Niel. Dahil ano man iyon, sigurado akong ibibigay ko ng walang pag-aalinlangan.

At first, these men – Leandro, Prinsipe and Rui.

Hindi ko alam kung anong klaseng mga tao sila; kung dapat ba akong mag-alala o matuwa na narito sila because I swear to God, the vibes they are giving gives me chills all over my body.

That Leandro isn't a normal businessman. I can feel it through my bones by the look of him. The way he stares was so cold and dangerous. Idagdag pa ang kakaibang kulay ng mga mata nito.

Was it blue or grey?

Prinsipe Iglesias – Elle's husband. He seems gentle and sensible but with a temper. Well, I don't know. He's pretty normal compared to that Leandro who happened to be his half-brother on mother side and Rui who is now a completely different person from the Rui that I know.

Halos mapaatras ako nang sa paglingon ko kay Rui ay makita ko siyang may inaayos na baril at ilang saglit lamang ay isinuksok niya iyon sa kaniyang likuran. Tila ba normal na gawain na niya iyon at alam na alam niya ang gagawin.

Dash looked at my direction and said something to Rui kaya mabilis na isinuot nang huli ang isang itim na jacket para matakpan ang bagay na iyon.

Kanina nang sabihin nilang alam na nila kung nasaan si Niel – na kayang-kaya na iyon ni Dash i-handle, akala ko ay aalis na sila. Iyon pala ay may sinundo lang sila sa labas ng Hyatt Regency.

And now, there are goons outside my house!

Hindi iyong tipo na malalakilang ang katawan. They're all foreigners – tall, lean and expressionless!

"Dashiel, what exactly is going on? Alam kong may idea ka kung nasaan si Niel! Just tell me how serious the situation we're in right now! Natatakot ako para sa anak natin and then this!" I said, pointing out to those goons. Tinapunan ko rin ng tingin sila Rui at Leandro naa ngayoy's tila nagbibigay ng instruction sa mga nasa labas.

"Listen," panimula ni Dash at niyaya akong maupo sa gawing bar counter. "Niel will come back safe and sound, Caramel. Those guys offers some help because Niel is Elle's nephew – he's family to Prinsipe and so to Leandro who happened to be the most influential man in Sicily and in some Asian and European countries. This is just a piece of cake for them."

"Kaya naka-prente ka nalang, ganoon ba?" I said while trying to digest what he said and while trying to be calm.

"Dashiel, anak natin ang pinag-uusapan dito kaya hindi pwedeng ipaubaya nalang natin basta sa ibang tao! Naiintindihan mo ba ako?" halos mapasabunot na ako kakaisip and yet, he's still calm and compose.

Dash held me in his arms.

"I'm sorry if you felt like that but no, Caramel." He said while stroking my hair. "I am fucking scared right now but I need to keep myself calm for us." Then held me tighter and kissed the top of my head.

"Ang sabi ng asawa ni Elle ay kaya mo na ito pero bakit wala ka pa ring ginagawa?"

"It's because it involves our son. I can't risk it. I'm not good at things like this so I'm letting them take the lead."

Hinuli ni Dash ang mga mata ko. Nang magtagpo ang mga mata namin ay isang malalim na hinga ang pinakawalan niya. It's as if, what he about to say will affects me so much.

"Your Uncle Wang wants the company, Caramel but it's still under your grandfather's name and once he died, it will automatically transfer to your name. But since he's still alive after slowly killing him – on which he survived, thanks to Rui, their only option is to force you into marriage, Caramel so that they can force you to give them the company in exchange to our son."

"What? I don't need it! I just want my son back!"

Dashiel sighs. "Habang buhay ang Lolo mo, it's not transferable. The only option para mawala sa Lolo mo ang ownership ng kumpanya ay kung mamamatay siya at kung magpapakasal ka and either way, the ending will still be the same – you, inheriting your company and it's for you to decide what to do about it."

I stood up and look at Dash. "Then, let's get married, Dashiel Luis Telpace and get our son back right now."

"By the way," Prinsipe handed us something. "That's your marriage certificate. Lorenzo, one of Thea's dwarfs did that."

Nang tignan ko iyon ay naroon ang picture namin ni Dash at maging ang pirma. At ayon sa certificate ay isang buwan na kaming kasal!

"That's fake, of course, but no one would notice. Kahit i-check pa nila ay makikita na rehistrado ang pangalan ninyo. The ownership of Ty Enterprise is now being transfer to your name, Cara. Iyon na lang ang kailangang i-fake and you're free to go and get your son back. And since we figured that you're going to give in to what they want," he handed me another documents and turned away.

It's a transfer of company ownership documents. Nang tignan ko ay kumpleto na iyon.

"Paano kapag nalaman nilang peke ang mga ito?"

"By that time, nasa atin na si Niel and that was the time the authorities will do their work."

"Right." Ani Prinsipe.

Binitawan ko ang mga pekeng dokumento. "I can't risk my son's life!"

"Legalities take time and we're dealing with people who are willing to kill for money."

"Paano kung saktan nila ang anak ko?"

"Let's just kill them." Mula sa entrada ay isang lalaki na naman ang sumulpot. Kasama nito si Sean at tila magkakilala ang dalawa. "Rui boy! I miss you!" sabay yakap nito kay Rui pero mabilis ring itinulak ng huli.

"Get away!"

"Leandro, I miss –" pero hindi na naituloy ng bagong dating ang sasabihin nang biglang magkasa ng baril si Leandro. "Grabe! Hindi ako na-miss?" nakangisi pang saad nito.

"Shut up, Ken!" ani Rui na may ipinakita sa bagong dating.

I am feeling light headed and these men in my house are confusing me. Unlike the other three, this Ken seems different. Hindi siya gaanong nakakatakot dahil tila ito masayahin. I was looking at him silently and was about to release a sigh of relief because he seems like a breath of fresh air pero biglang itong naglabas ng baril at itinutok kay Ruin a binigyan ito ng isang sulyap lamang na tila wala lamang rito iyon.

"We could just go and get the child, back. We're not an assassin for nothing, you know?"

Sabi noong Ken na umani ng sapak mula kay Rui. I thought he was just kidding but when I look up at Dash and he just nodded, chills run down my spine.

Ano'ng klaseng mga tao ba ang nakapaligid sa akin ngayon?
