BROWN EYED QUEEN

Chapter 47: Hello, Mr. Demon

**Flashback

"Damon, meet my daughter Veronica." pagpapakilala ni Orlando sa kanya.

"Please, Dad. You don't need to do this."

"You don't belong to that man, Veronica. You need a man like Damon." suway ni Orlando kay Veronica.

"Dad, as your daughter I'm begging you." pagsusumamo ni Veronica ngunit hindi siya pinakinggan nito.

"Can I have a word with you?" tanong ni Orlando kay Damon at sinenyasan niya ito na sumunod sa kanya.

"I need you to get married soon with her. And one thing, every ties of her with that man must be cut. Understand me, young man?"

"You can count on me, sir."

"Damon please ayoko na.." pagmamakaawa ni Veronica.

"No! You won't leave me! Sakin ka lang!" sigaw ni Damon sabay yugyog kay Veronica.

"Ayoko na please! Hayaan mo na ako!"

"No! You're not going somewhere!" binitawan nya si Veronica at bigla na syang naglabas ng baril.

Napalunok si Veronica at bakas sa kanya ang matinding takot sa lalaki, "D-damon.."

Napahilamos si Damon ng mukha at ngumiti na parang wala sa sarili, "Totoo ba? Huh? Na may iba kang lalaki?!"

"D-damon hind--" bigla niya itong sinampal ng baril sa mukha.

"I trusted you Veronica! I love you so damn much! I gave everything to you! Tapos ito lang igaganti mo?!"

"Damon no..I'm just trying to contact him.."

"So totoo nga." bigla ng dumilim ang aura ni Damon. Kahit anong pilit niyang tanggalan niya ng komunikasyon si Veronica sa lalaking iyon, gumagawa at gumagawa pa rin ito ng paraan.

Napayuko na lang si Veronica pero sapilitan iyong inangat ni Damon.

"Sabihin mong mahal mo ko! Sabihin mo!" sigaw nya.

"I..I can't.. mahal ko pa din sya Damon. I'm sorry.."

Veronica's words shot him. Kahit kailan man ay hindi siya magagawang mahalin nito.

"I tried myself to love you. Believe me.."

"Damon.. I'm sorry.."

Binigay niya lahat. He did a lot of efforts but Veronica just can't love him back.

Marahas syang binitawan at paulit ulit nyang isinuklay yung daliri nya sa buhok nya habang lumuluha na.

Napakasakit ng kanyang nararamdaman. To the point that he wasn't thinking clearly anymore.

"Damon I'm-- hindi na natapos pa ni Veronica ang kanyang sasabihin nang barilin niya ito.

Veronica struggled for air but he aimed for another shot. Seconds after, her heart stopped beating. She's sitting, tied up, and dead.

Saka lang niya narealized ang kanyang nagawa. Nabitawan niya ang kanyang baril at nanginginig na nilapitan ang walang buhay na katawan ni Veronica.

**End of Flashback

"So, you're telling me that it was all my Dada's plan? Kaya ako nalayo kay Dad because of him? Because he forced my mother to marry you?"

"Yes. I really didn't mean to kill her. Nakonsensya ako. Pinagsisihan ko ang ginawa ko sa kanya."

"You still have your conscience, huh?"

"And about your grandfather, that old hag. He just used me." pag-aamin niya.

Kung gayon, ginamit lamang ni Orlando si Damon para sa kanyang negosyo at sa Mafia. Nang maging mas makapangyarihan at makaangat siya kumpara kay Damon.

At kaya may binayaran siya para patayin si Orlando ay para pabagsakin ang negosyo pati ang Mafia nito. Para ibalik lahat ng nawala sa kanya.

One thing that Vera don't know about his Dada was, he's very greedy. Power, money, everything. Gusto niya mapasakanya lahat.

"You don't know anything about this, aren't you?"

Napakapit siya ng mahigpit sa kanyang baril. She's slowly believing on what she's hearing right now. She's slowly believing that it was all his Dada's fault.

"But it won't change the fact that you killed her. And payed someone to kill him."

Napatawa naman ng pagak si Damon sa kanyang sinabi, "So, this is your revenge, huh? Avenging your mother and that old hag. Go on, kill me."

"No need to remind me." saad ni Vera at akma ng kakalabitin ang gatilyo nang biglang bumukas ang pintuan. Kasabay nun ang tunog ng mga pagkasa ng baril.

Napalingon siya at tumambad sa kanya si Paxton kasama ang mga ilang tauhan niya.

"Paxton, what are you doing here?"

Hindi sumagot si Paxton. Sa halip ay tinutukan niya ng baril si Vera.
