Villaverde Brothers Series 1: Taming the Ruthless✓

Chapter Twenty-eight

It's been almost three months since we came back from Palawan. He became busy because of a big client who wants to pull out her contract. Ayaw niyang mawala kaya sinusuyo niya hanggang ngayon. 

I heard it's a girl. Baka mamaya may gusto pala sa kaniya tapos gumagawa lang ng paraan para magkita't magkasama sila. Tsk!

Kay Cai may tiwala ako pero sa mga babae sa paligid niya wala.

Si Tita Meryll at ang mga kaibigan lang naming babae ang may tiwala akong lumapit sa kaniya.

Hindi naman sa pagiging possessive pero alam ko kasing kayang-kaya ni Cai kuhanin ang atensyon ng bawat babaeng madaraanan niya kahit sa simpleng lakad niya lang.

The way he gaits like he owns the floor, the crowd will surely turn to him and watch him pass by.

His proud demeanor indicates authority.

Even if he looks cold and ruthless, girls will still like him because of his looks, fame, and money.

Mga bagay na hindi ko naging rason kung bakit ko siya minahal. I didn't realize, at first, that I loved him until I wanted to know him more deeply than anyone could. I want to know his different sides, 'yong ako lang makakaalam.

The first time I laid my eyes on him, I knew to myself that he's the one I want in my future.

"What's bothering you?" Kylei asked.

We're currently here in a foot spa. Napansin niya yatang hindi ako mapakali dahil kanina ko pa chine-check ang phone ko saka bubuntonghininga kapag walang nakitang message notification.

"Wala," sagot ko saka pinikit ang mata habang ini-scrub ang paa ko.

Kasama rin namin si Raya na mukhang tulog. Puyat siya dahil may pinuntahang party kagabi, pinilit lang namin siyang sumama ngayon dahil mukha siyang stress. Buti pa nga si Kylei, blooming.

"Cai's busy?" she asked. "'Yong client pa rin bang babae na gustong mag-pull out ng contract sa kaniya?"

"Hmm," I murmured.

"Do you know her name? Let's stalk her on Facebook. Let's see if there's something you should be bothered with," she said, which made me open my eyes and look at her eagerly.

"Hindi ko naisip 'yan, ah?" sabi ko. "Pero I only know her name. I already forgot her surname."

She rolled her eyes at me. "You know what? Wala ka namang dapat ikabahala. Even if the girl is young and pretty. Kung may tiwala ka kay Cai, alam mong wala siyang gagawing masama."

"May tiwala ako sa kaniya, sa mga babaeng umaaligid sa kaniya wala. Lalo na roon sa former secretary niya. Nakwento ko na siya sa 'yo, 'di ba? Tsk! What if ganoon din 'yong client niya ngayon? Masyadong papansin."

"I bet Cai wouldn't give at least a little attention to girls who want him." She chuckled. "He's not interested. If you don't notice, he only looks at you and gives his full attention to you. Kaya don't be bothered. One more thing, baka work lang talaga ang intention no'ng babae. Huwag kang mag-isip ng kung ano-ano."

I sighed and shrugged my shoulders. "You're right."

Raya moved a bit which made me look at her. She slowly opened her eyes.

"Sakit sa ulo magmahal ng Villaverde," aniya, mahina pero sapat para marinig namin ni Kylei.

Nagkatinginan kami ni Kylei, marahil ay iisa lang ang iniisip namin ngayon. Bumalik ang tingin namin sa kaniya at napansin niya naman 'yon.

"What?" she asked.

"In love ka na kay Zai?" tanong ni Kylei sa kaniya.

She raised her eyebrows. "Hindi ba halata?"
