Riot Crown

Chapter 36

"SALAMAT THEON," Iiliri thanked Theon after getting out of his car with Riri.

"Welcome Iil," sagot nito bago niya isinara ang pinto.

Nang umalis ang sasakyan ni Theon na siyang naghatid sa kanya sa pinagtatrabahuan ni Riot ay agad na mabagal siyang naglakad papunta sa entrance ng kompanya habang abala sa pagtingin-tingin.

Hmm... ang yaman pala talaga ni Riot. Iiliri thought as she gaped at the skyscraper in front of her while standing below the five stairs leading to the entrance of the Crown's logistics.

Unang beses niyang pumunta doon kasi sasamahan siya ni Riot para dalhin sa salon kasama sina tita Aleandra. At ayaw makinig ni Riot kahit ilang beses na itong sinabihan ng ina nito na 'wag sumama.

Sabi nga ni tita Aleandra ang clingy ng mga anak nito sa mga asawa ng mga ito, mana daw kay tito Vonn. Sarap daw pagbubuhulin ng mag-aama at itapon sa pinakamalalim na karagatan.

"Riri, madami siyang pambili ng dog at cat foods." Mahinang bulong ni Iiliri sa pusa niya. "Pwede talaga siyang asawa ko." Iiliri grinned and started to walk again.

Palingon-lingon siya habang naglalakad at nagliwanag ang mukha niya ng makita si kuya Kreston na may dalang paper bag.

"Kuya Krest!" Tawag niya sa kapatid ni Riot na seryoso lagi at hindi ngumingiti. Kay Sierra lang ata ito nagumingiti ng madalas.

Kunot noo na tumingin ito sa kanya saka naglakad palapit. "Where are your dogs?" he asked and bend over to pet Riri.

"Kasama ni Riot." Nakangiti niyang sagot nang tumuwid ito ng tayo saka sila sabay na naglakad papasok ng kompanya. "Pupuntahan mo si Sierra, kuya?" Usisa niya.

And of course, kuya Kreston smiled upon hearing his wife's name.

"Yeah, I want to have a meal with her now 'cos I have a late meeting later with dad and I'm going to miss a dinner with her and Kierron— what the fuck woman?!" Kuya Kreston shouted in anger when a woman held his upper arm and placed one hand on his abdomen.

Tinulak ito ni kuya Kreston na siyang naging dahilan para mawalan ng balanse ang babe at napaupo sa sahig.

"Krest—"

"Don't address me like that I am Mr. Crown to you!" Kuya Kreston coldly said, eyes dark from anger. "And fucking stay away from me before I make you. This will be my last warning."

Pagkasabi ni kuya Kreston no'n ay hinawakan siya sa nito braso at iginiya papunta sa pribadong elevator.

Iiliri bit her bottom lip as she quietly listen to the heavy breathing laced with anger that Riot's older brother do.

"Okay ka lang kuya Krest?" She lowly inquired after a minute or so.

Kreston sighed. "Yeah, Iil. It's just sent me off when a woman who is not my wife nor a family or friend holds me like that like I'm not a married man. They should know how to approach me formally— like damn it! I and my brothers and my friends are not luxury cars they can touch whenever they want." Nagtatagis ang bagang na wika nito.

Tumango si Iiliri at pinanood niyang kinuha nito ang cellphone at may tinawagan.

"Blake, check the CCTV footage from Riot's company on the ground floor. Ban the woman that I pushed from Crown Island. I want her out of this place today." Utos nito sa kausap na nagpatanga kay Iiliri.

Ilang sandali itong na tahimik at nakinig bago nagsalita ulit. "I don't know who was that ... the woman that Flame backhanded in Kronack's and Ruckus birthday party years ago?" Kunot ang noo na tanong nito.
