章節 3: Chapter 3: Brielle’s Home
Going to Brielle's villa Ivana remains silent. The car entered in an exclusive villa town with different high rise western-inspired villas. She knows that Brielle has been a very successful business tycoon at a young age but she wasn't aware of his kind of lifestyle. Pakiramdam nya matutunaw sya sa sobrang kahihiyan habang nakiramdam sa presensya nito sa tabi nya mismo.
Pinili na rin ni Brielle na manahimik dahil wala sya sa mood na kausapin si Ivana habang nasa loob sila ng sasakyan at nakikinig ang Assistant nya. She had blackmailed him using a video she recorded but she knows he can easily prove himself innocent but he accepted her proposal. Huminto ang sasakyan sa harapan ng isang malaking villa. Bigla itong bumukas at diretsong pumasok ang kotse ni Brielle. Pagbaba nila ng sasakyan namangha sya sa laki ng bahay nito na puno ng iba't ibang palamuti. It is in an expensive villa that cost millions of dollars.
"Come inside!" she heard Brielle's voice while heading towards the main door.
Pagpasok nila sa sala lalo syang namangha sa nakitang dekorasyon sa loob, mamahaling muwebles at malalaking abstract paintings na nakasabit sa wall ng hagdan paakyat sa ikalawang palapag.
"Uhm! Brielle, your back!" bati ni Yaya Santina na lumabas mula sa dining room.
"Yaya Santina, please take care of my visitor Ivana Huo! She's our house guest from now on. Don't mention to my Mom and Dad about her, okay?"
"Oh, sige sabi mo eh. Napakagandang dalaga, welcome home, Ivana!" nakangiting bati ni Yaya Santina
"H-Hello Yaya Santina! Thanks a lot. I'm Ivana Huo, Brielle's---" she began to introduce herself.
Brielle immediately cut her words, "She's my personal assistant!" sabay titig sa kanya ng masama.
Hilaw na ngiti ang namutawi sa labi ni Ivana bago sumagot, "Yeah, I'm his personal assistant Yaya Santina!"
"Ah, okay! Welcome home, Ivana! Halika may hinanda akong pagkain sumabay kana sa amin. Madalang kasing umuwi si Brielle dito dahil sa mismong condo nya, sa City proper sya umuuwi dahil mas malapit iyon sa opisina nya," sabi nito
"Yaya, you bring Miss Ivana later at the master's bedroom. I will be heading to the office," he said and look at her in a stern manner.
"Ivana, I will be back tonight, I will bring some clothes later on," he said again then turned to leave.
"Take care, Brielle. See you tonight!" she replied in a sweet tone.
Nakaalis na si Brielle at inaya sya ni Yaya Santina sa dining room. Nakita nya ang masarap na pagkain na nakahain sa dining table. Bigla sya nakaramdam ng gutom at pagkaupo nya kaagad na pinagsilbihan sya ng Yaya ni Brielle.
"Yaya, I can do it! You sit now and let's eat!" she said while smiling at her.
"Okay, you dig in!" Yaya Santina smiled back to her and talk again, "You know what, this is the first time Brielle bring woman in his house. Alam kong hindi ka nya personal assistant dahil kailanman di sya kumuha ng babaeng alalay sa mga gawain nya at iuuwi sa bahay. Hay, Brielle is like his Dad, so strict and serious. Maliit pa si Brielle ako na ang nag-alaga sa kanya," mahabang paliwanag nito habang naglalagay ng pagkain sa plato.
Namula bigla ang pisngi ni Ivana ng marinig ang sinabi ng Yaya ni Brielle. Nag-uumpisa na syang kumain at hindi nya alam ang tamang salitang sasabihin rito.
"Pasensya na po kayo kung nakaistorbo ako sa buhay ni Brielle. I know him since childhood, back in Singapore. My mom is a Filipina and I learned to speak her language because of Denise, I'm her best friend since high school in London," she said.
"I see, Denise is a naughty and carefree young lady. She's only fifteen this year and still managed to follow her brother sometimes. Umaalis sa poder ng parents nya at pumupunta dito sa Beijing dahil laging sinusundan non si Brielle,"
"Opo, madalas kaming magkasama kapag nandito sya. Ang alam ko nasa Singapore pa rin nakatira sila Sir Brent at Maam Shantal,"
"Oo kasi laging abala rin ang dalawang iyon sa kani-kanilang negosyo. Mabuti na lamang maagang namulat si Brielle sa mundo ng business na ginagalawan ng parents nya kaya sya ang humahawak sa ibang branches nito. Kahit saan tumira ang batang iyon dinadala ako. Sanay na sya sa akin dahil mula nga noong bata pa sya ako na nag-aalaga," nakangiting sabi ni Yaya Santina habang patuloy sila sa pagkain.
"Brielle and I will be getting married in three days from now. He had accepted my proposal!" bigla nyang sabi na ikinagulat nito.
"Hahaha, sabi ko na nga ba, hay naku iba talaga ang mga kabataan sa ngayon. Bakit di man lamang sinabi ni Brielle sa parents nya para sana magkaroon kayo ng grand wedding?"
"Hindi na po kailangan Yaya kasi iba po ang arrangement namin bilang mag-asawa. Huwag nyo nalang po banggitin sa parents nya, hintayin nalang natin ang desisyon po ni Brielle. Masaya naman ako na sya makakasama ko po, matino naman sya at maayos ang family's background,"
"How about your parents, did you inform them?" biglang tanong nito.
"Ah wala na po akong mga magulang, my mom died a few years ago and my Dad just recently. My relatives don't have any interest in my life activities too. I live alone!"
Muling nagulat si Yaya Santina ng marinig ang sinabi nya ngunit hindi na ito muling nag-usisa pa hanggang matapos silang kumain. Hinatid sya nito sa master's bedroom at ibinigay ang isang damit na galing sa kwarto ni Denise. Pagkabihis nya mabilis syang sumampa sa kama at muling natulog.
Samantala, si Brielle naman ay dumating na sa opisina nya. Hindi pa rin sya mapakali ng umalis sya sa bahay . Iniwan nya kay Yaya Santina si Ivana at alam nyang magtatanong ito. He tried to contact her sister Denise to tell her about Ivana and him, but his younger sister wasn't available in any of her social media accounts. He called his Assistant to get into his office. A few minutes ago, Harold stood in front of him while waiting for his instruction.
"Harold prepare all my personal documents. I will get married in three days to Miss Huo, keep it secret to avoid gossip. Investigate Miss Huo's recent activities, asap. I want a report too of her family business, Huo Group!" Brielle said while looking towards the window from his office.
"Okay sir Brielle, I will do it immediately. Nagulat ako sa mga pangyayari, kagabi lang nasa party pa tayo kinabukasan nakita ko magkasama na kayong dalawa sa kwarto mo?" nagtatakang sabi nito.
"She sneaks into my room. I don't know how she got the key to my room. I'm human, and a beautiful woman who willingly offered herself can't be rejected. That cunning lady is brave enough to blackmail me!" he said in an angry tone.
"Huh! She blackmailed you? Naku hindi ako makapaniwala. Iba talaga ang mga babaeng lumaki sa luho at western-culture, napaka-liberated talaga boss! Hahaha, pero sa totoo lang bagay naman kayong dalawa, tanda ko pa noong mga bata pa tayo at nasa Singapore pa laging sumusunod sayo iyon eh," nakangiting sabi ni Harold.
"Yeah, I still remember an innocent cute little girl that used to call me big brother. She suddenly vanished without saying goodbye!" he muttered.
"Eh boss, alam ko naman na sya ang dahilan bakit tayo narito sa Beijing. Mas pinili mong mag-settle down dito instead na sa Europe. Nagtagpo naman ang landas ninyo ulit, di ko nga lang alam sa paanong paraan, nagugulat talaga ako ng makita ko syang kasama mo sa kwarto, tapos ngayon sinasabi mo magpapakasal ka na,"
"Just keep silent and do what I've said. She asked me a help but I can't let her go easily until she could pay back what she owed me," Brielle said.
"Huwag ka lang ma-inlove baka habulin mo balang araw. Kunsabagay, kung mananatili naman sa tabi mo aba okay na rin kasi magandang lahi naman sya,"
"Enough! You leave now. This afternoon we will buy personal stuff for Miss Huo!" he dismissed him in a cold tone.
Pag-alis ng Assistant nya mabilis syang nag-check ng business market update. He read some articles related to Simon Yun. He felt furious while reading that old entertainment news about him who was chasing Ivana. He felt relieved that Ivana had chosen him to be her husband, not his rival.
Past eight in the evening Ivana heard a car sounds. She quickly went down to check if it's Brielle. Nakita nyang bumaba ito at may bitbit na mga paper bags. Tila batang tumakbo sya palabas ng bahay at sinalubong si Brielle. He saw Ivana running towards him, he felt moved the way she acted. She's like a young wife who is happily welcoming her husband with her sweet smile and stunning beauty.
"Brielle, welcome home, hubby!" she smiled sweetly and standing in front of the main door waiting for him.
"Why you went out? It's cold outside. Come inside!" Brielle said in a cold tone while passing through her way.
She ignored his cold behavior and walk faster then cling her arm into his. "Hubby why you seem to be in a bad mood?"
"I'm tired! Get inside!" he still ignored her even though she clings into his arm.
"Kumain ka na? Ako hindi pa, inantay kita eh!" malambing na sabi nya rito.
Lumingon ito sa kanya at inabot ang bitbit na mga paper bags. "Check all of it! It's your dresses and shoes, I include your undies too!" He handed all shopping bags and then sit on the sofa.
She blushed suddenly hearing he bought underwear for her"Wow! You are so generous, hubby! Thanks!" bigla syang yumakap rito at mabilis na kinabig si Brielle at hinalikan sa labi.
"Stop it! Maids looking at us!" he sneered and blushed.
She smiled at him, sit on his lap. She started to brush his hair while staring at his handsome face, "Hush, I don't care of they will saw us! I am your future wife, isn't it good to be close to each other!" she whispered in his ears and her warm breath makes him feel aroused.
"Your too much flirtation doesn't need to be displayed in public. I don't like it! Act like a proper lady of your man, got it? And let me remind you our deal, we're not a normal couple in case you forget it!" his cold voice comes out.
Tila natauhan bigla si Ivana sa sinabi ni Brielle. She felt a thousand pins that pierced into her heart after she heard it.
"I'm sorry! I am just trying to be a good partner. Let's have dinner!" bigla syang tumayo at hinila ito papuntang dining room.
Tahimik na silang kumain at di na rin umimik si Ivana. Matapos ang hapunan mabilis itong umakyat sa master's bedroom at binitbit ang binigay nya rito. Makalipas ang isang oras sumunod na si Brielle. Nadatnan nyang nakabihis na ito at nakatingin sa malayo sa labas ng maliit na terrace mula sa master's bedroom. He quickly take a shower and change his clothes. Pagbalik nya ng kwarto napansin nyang nandon pa rin ito at tahimik na nakatingin sa malayo. He feels her sudden loneliness.
"Ahem! Why are you still here it's past ten in the evening!" he asked while standing at the terrace door.
Lumingon si Ivana nang marinig ang boses nya. "I wanted to feel better, I miss my parents!" she said in a sad voice.
"You felt sad, I sense it! Your loneliness is visible in your face," he walked towards her and stand beside her.
"I missed them so much! I felt alone and tired!" tears fell from her eyes suddenly.
"Release your burden and cried as much as you can until you feel better!" he said looking at her.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't cry like this but I can't control my sadness. When my Mom died it was the first painful moment of my life. I know my father had tried to become strong but daily I felt his hidden pain. I am just a weak human being and couldn't stand for my family,"
"Is that the reason why you do all of these? You wanted me to take revenge for you?" he asked.
"No. I only need your support in all of my plans. I will take my revenge alone. Don't worry I will serve you and pay you back. Brielle, you're my only hope. Just this one, I am willing to follow all your orders and will never turn my back against you," tears flowing freely in her beautiful face and her shoulders trembled.
"Okay, I will try to help you out but let me remind you, never make any mistakes that will ruin my reputation. I hate your guts and presence because you blackmailed me using your disgusting plans. I can't imagine how you come up with this kind of solution!"
"Thank you, young master Brielle, I will pay you back once I can stand with my own," she said seriously.
"A weak woman who planned to revenge but used another person to support her, really annoying. Stop crying and never show me again your tears, it won't help you at all. Come inside let's sleep because it's getting late," he walked back inside their room.
Hindi umimik si Ivana. Ramdam nya ang galit sa bawat salitang binitawan ni Brielle. Wala syang ibang paraan upang bawiin ang nararapat sa kanya, she gives her body to solve her problem quickly. It sounds unfair to Brielle, but she had no other choice this time. In fact, she liked him since childhood but she never gets a chance to tell him because she left suddenly. Sumunod na sya rito at nadatnan nyang nakahiga na ito sa kama at pikit ang mga mata. Lumapit sya at humiga sa tabi nito. Bumaling sya at yumakap kay Brielle.
Bigla itong dumilat at lumingon sa kanya. "You still wanted to seduce me? Won't you?"
"Of course not, I just want to hug you, I need your warm to ease my loneliness!" she said.
"Matulog na tayo, huwag kang masungit hindi naman maganda sa mag-asawa ang nag-aaway bago matulog. You want me to do a full body massage to remove your stress?" she asks him again.
"Tsk, I don't know why you're doing this?" he said in a cold tone.
Biglang bumangon Si Ivana at inumpisahan ang pagmamasahe sa mga braso nya.
"Does it feel better? If it does, flip back so I could give you a full body massage!" she said to him.
Tahimik na sumunod si Brielle at dumapa. Naramdaman nya ang mahinang galaw ng kamay ni Ivana sa buong katawan. Hinihila na sya ng antok at tuluyan ng nakatulog. Matapos ang isang oras na masahe nakita ni Ivana na mahimbing ng natutulog si Brielle. Inayos nya ang pagkakahiga nito sa kama at tumabi na rin sya rito. She encircle her arm into his slender body. She planted a soft kiss on his lips and whisper her good night words.
"Thank you hubby, I know you're too angry but I still love you. Goodnight!"
