"Kids, are you ready? Tinatawag na tayo ng uncle Calvin niyo. We're going somewhere. " sabi ko habang kinakatok ang pinto ng tatlo.
Kasalukuyan kaming nag-aayos dahil pupunta kami sa kompanya namin na ngayon ay hina-handle na ni kuya Calvin but of course wit the help of our parents. I don't really like his idea since mag-business partner sila ni Alexander and there is a big chance na maaari kaming magkita and worse, makita niya ang mga anak ko but he assured me naman na Alexander won't come since nasa business trip daw ito.
"Mom,we're ready." sabi ng prinsesa naming si Alexa, kasunod niya ang dalawa, si Alexis na mukhang antok na antok pa at si Alexeir na nagbabasa ng libro.
Pumunta na kami sa labas dahil nag-aantay na si Kuya Calvin doon. Habang nasa biyahe kami ay naisipan kong kumain muna since malayo layo rin ang bahay sa kompanya at traffic.
"Camille, saan ka pala pumunta?" tanong ni kuya Calvin to open a topic
"Remember Jake Yu, my repa? He helped me until I gave birth. We lived in a private island and after that I went to Spain with my kids." sabi ko sa kanya
"Why did you ran from the wedding?" tanong niya just to open up a topic and he chose that stupid thing
"Play innocent, stupid. " nakairap na sabi ko sa kanya, asar siya eh.
The ride went smoothly and no one dares to talk. As we reach tge company's building, all eyes were set on us. 45% vampire and the rest are humans, well trained employees.
"Good morning everyone. " bati ni kuya sa lahat, and they immediately answer back
"I know that most of you know my sister especially those old employees. And after 8 years of playing hide and seek with us, she already came back with her wonderful children. For those who don't know my beloved sister, she is Camille Nathalia, the one that will take the slot of the long time vacant CEO of Hairan Empire." lahat ay nagulat including me. No one informed me that I will also handle that company, honestly I don't even know that company exists!
"I know that Hairan Empire is still unknown for most of you. Hairan Empire is the inherited empire of our mother which is actually handling some transactions for century. Now, today is the day that the Hairan Empire will be officially known by the public." anunsyo niya sa lahat, everyone stayed quiet including me to absorb all the things that he said
The slot
The Hairan Company
Me as the CEO
What the heck? I can't be a CEO. Mas liliit ang mundo namin ni Alexander and it will higher the risk, it will be more possible for Alexander to know about my children. I'm about to complain nang hilain niya ako papunta sa kanyang office.
"What's the f*cking meaning of that Calvin Nigelle?" asik ko sa kanya pagkapasok na pagkapasok ko pa lang sa office niya.
"Don't curse, may mga bata." saway niya at naglabas ng black forest cake from the ref para sa mga bata
"Sorry. But answer me. Bakit wala akong alam sa mga nangyayari and nababaliw ka na ba talaga?! Business world is so small at malaki ang chance na magkita kami ni demonyo and worse pati mga anak ko!" sigaw ko sa kanya para maliwanagan siya. Para siyang nagsabong ng isang manok na alam niyang mamamatay agad kung makagawa ng desisyon, ang pagpunta pa nga lamang sa building na ito ay nangangamba na ako magpatakbo pa kaya ng kompanya na malaki ang tyansang business partner ko ang demonyong ama ng mga anak ko?! Makakapatay ako, promise.
"Camille, the Haian Company was founded century years ago. Nagtatransact na ito noon pa man, and it is expected na ikaw ang makakakuha nito ngayon since pinamana na ni Mom sa iyo." sabi niya at inabutan ako ng glass of wine
"But why me? Bakit di na lang ikaw or relative ni mom?" takang tanong ko sa kanya
"Dahil babae ka. And your the daughter or acting daughter of mom." sabi ni Kuya
"Kuya, ang mga anak ko." igting panga na sabi ko
"Anak rin sila ni Alexander." inirapan ko na lamang siya a kinuha ang files tungkol sa Haian.

"Bro, bakit ba kasi tayo pupunta sa kompanya ni Calvin?" kanina pa tanong sa akin ni Oliver, but like I usually do, I snob him.
"Bro! Bakit nga?!" that's it. I stopped the car at the middle of the highway.
"Are you coming or not. Just shut the f*ck up okay? Or I'll rip your heart out." inis na sabi ko sa kanya, nanahimik naman na siya
It's been how many years, eight years? Since Camille dump me on our own wedding day. Even Calvin's family don't know where she is. I have a doubt that Jake is the one hiding her because he disappeared the exact day.
I remember all the things that I did and I understand wh she dumped me but it is really gay t say but it really f*cking hurts. I tried to say to myself to calm down b'coz it is my entire fault but it really hurts. I love her, I really do.
Naging masyado akong agresibo kaya natrigger ang monstruo ko and taked over me but I can already control it now. Since that day, pakiramdam ko ay kulang ako, pakiramdam ko ay may nawawala sa akin. But everything is my fault. Kagaguhan ko and this is my consequence, to live life alone forever till someone stab me with a silver sword to my heart.
When we reach Calvin's company ay pumunta agad kami sa office niya but someone caught my attention. A girl. A girl with a sunglasses even it's dark that exactly looks like her. Lumapit ako sa bata, I think she is 7 or 8.
"Hoy Lex! Saan ka nanaman pupunta?" sabi sa akin ni Oliver, tinignan niya yung tinitignan ko.
"Are you crazy man? Ang pedo ng lagay mo. Para ka ng tatay niya tapos papatusin mo?" nabatukan ko siya bigla sa sinabi niya, kung ano ano ang iniisip.
"Bobo ka ba? She looks like her." sabi ko at binalik ang tingin sa bata na parang may hinahanap
"The f*ck man! Dahil sa kamukha ni Camille ay papatusin mo na? H'wag ganon. Bata eh." umiiling na sabi ni Oliver
"Shut the hell up." diin na sabi ko sa kanya.
Hindi ko na siya pinansin. Lumapit na ako sa bata at napansin niya ata ako. Accidentally nahulog ang salamin niya at nanlalaki ang mata na tumingin sa akin. She has red eyes.
"TOP?!" I'm flattered, I look like TOP sabi ng bata and believe children don't lie. Napansin yata ng bata na nahulog ang salamin niya kaya kinuha niya ito agad.
"Mister! Don't tell anyone about my eyes and don't be scared I'm not a monster." sabi sa akin ng bata
"You can change the color of your eyes." lumungkot ang mukha niya
"I can't. It is inborn." naka-pout na sabi niya
"I'm uncle Alexander." pakilala ko
"I'm uncle poging Oliver!" sigaw na pakilala ni Oliver
"I'm Alexa. Nice to meet you po uncle Alexander and uncle not so poging Oliver." sabi ni Alexa at humagikgik, akmang hahawakan ko siya nang may biglang sumigaw.
"Yah! Anong ginagawa niyo sa kapatid ko!" sigaw ng tumatakbong batang naka-leather jacket.
"Kuya Alexis. Mabait siya." sabi ni Alexa, lumapit rin ang isang bata na nagbabasa ng libro.
"No! You touch my sister so you should buy me a new leather jacket!" sigaw ni Alexis
"Don't mind her uncle Alexander. By the way he's Alexis and my other kuya is Alexeir." pakilala sa kanila ni Alexa. Masama ang tingin sa akin ni Alexis at si Alexeir naman ay ngumiti sa akin ng kaunti.
"Let's go to Uncle Calvin." sabi ni Alexis at hinawakan ang kamay ni Alexa
"Alam mo na ba kung saan?" namula si Alexis bigla at umiwas ng tingin
I'm shocked na tinawag nilang uncle si Calvin but who knows, baka hindi ako na-inform na may iba pang Calvin sa kompanya.
"Is it Calvin Delos Reyes?" nanlaki ang mga mata nila, even Alexa dahil hindi niya nasuot ang salamin niya
"How did you know?!" shock na tanong ng dalawang maingay, Alexa and Alexis
"Best friend." umakto namang nasusuka si Alexis
"That is so gay." tumawa naman ang mokong sa likod ko
"Bakla ka pala bro." sinamaan ko siya ng tingin kaya nanahimik siya.
Binuhat ko si Alexa dahil feel ko lang. We made our way to Calvin's office.
I didn't knock and just open it. What I saw is really jaw dropping.
"C-c-c.."
