Transmigration Series 1: My Villain Princess

Chapter 26 - Expectation For A Daughter In Law

"Damn! I will finally announce that this is an emergency family meeting! Mateo's family is an exemption. Wala ang mag-asawa nasa ibang bansa. As for their son Drake, bawal talaga siya dito dahil isa siya sa pag-uusapan." anunsyo ni Mr. Damon Drake Montreal, ang patriarch ng Montreal Conglomerate.

Ito mismo ang pumutol sa nanaig na katahimikan pagkatapos magsalita ni Butler Jang.

Sa patriarch ibinase ang pangalan ng dalawang apo nito at tanging tagapagmana ng mga negosyo. Mattew Drake Montreal from his eldest son and Damien Montreal from his second son.

He is somehow ruthless in the business world noong kapanahonan nito and he loves his grandsons very much.

Ngunit dahil sa tanda nito ay naisipan nitong paglaroan ang mga apo. He made the Montreal conglomerate as a bait and one of his grandson took it.

Matthew Drake is somehow like him, yet he didn't got the brains of someone like Damien. But he is enough to manage their business.

Damien got the brains, he is a monster in that aspect. But he doesn't have the ruthlessness needed to manage a big company. He is cold yet soft hearted.

"We have to search for a beautiful and good1 woman for my baby Damien. A family background comparable to us is a bonus" ang sabi ni Ginang Lesley.

"Mom, we have to take Damien side. Paano kung bumalik ang trauma nito sa babae kung ipipilit mo ang babaeng gusto."

 "I don't care who the woman is, as long as mabigyan niya ako ng apo from Damien. Besides I am ready for this. We are ready for this. We are already expecting for the worst. This is nothing compared to that" ang sabi ni Mrs. Miya pagkatapos makapag-isip isip.

Lahat sila ay napatango at napag buntong hininga.

Teenager pa lang  si Damien ay puno na sila ng expectation para sa magiging asawa nito. A very beautiful woman with good characteristics. A rich family background is a plus.

Gwapo ang binata noong bata pa ito at mas naging well defined ang featutes nito ng lumaki. Dagdagan pa ang pagiging cold sa charisma nito, na nagpapabaliw sa mga babaeng nakikilala sa kanya.

Ngunit lumipas ang panahon at ilang taon ay wala pa ring babaeng nakalapit dito except for one. That bitch. Kaya naging agenda na ng dalawang henerasyon ng pamilya ang lovelife ni Damien tuwing nagsasama sama.

Drake is out of the question dahil walang problema ito pagdating sa babae simula pa lang. And like what they all thought, madali lang para dito ang makahanap ng mapapangasawa. Engaged na nga ito as a matter of fact.

Kaya ang criteria nila ay iniba at binawasan na ang ekspektasyon pagdating kay Damien. From beautiful young lady, to a woman with good characters kahit di kagandahan.

Ilang taon na naman ang lumipas at na obserbahan nilang puro middle aged and married women ang nasa paligid ng binata. Kaya ang dasal nila ay makahanap ito kahit simpleng babae na kaedad lang nito.

But heck! Damien is almost in the 30's and they are starting to question his sexuality. Baka kapwa lalaki ang gusto nito at nahihiya lang lumabas sa closet.

Kaya kahit masakit man tanggapin, as long as mabigyan lang sila ng apo ni Damien ay masaya na sila. Bonus na lang sa kanila kung may babae mang kasama.

They had to rely on the third generation, their grandsons to extend the branches.

Since they already expected for the worst to happen, kaya di sila gaanong against kay Charlotte.

It is only their first impression sa mga nalaman tungkol dito kaya ganoon sila makapag react. Sadyang nakalimotan lang nila kung ano talaga si Damien during the dinner because he look like a normal man in heat.

They can tolerate her as an in law. They can't go against Damien, baka nga ay tatanda talaga itong binata. Kunti pa naman ang ang myembro ng pamilya nila. 

"I have to met this lady" pinal na saad ni Ginang Lesley. She had no choice but to trust her grandson's eyes. Hindi muna siya maniniwala sa sabi- sabi ng ibang tao.

"Huwag muna mom hangga't hindi pa successful si Damien. I'm afraid we might miss our first and last daughter in law if makisali pa tayo." pagpipigil ng ama ni Damien sa ina nito.

"Fine. I've got no choice."

Ang dalawang lalaki ay tahimik lang at tila may kung anong iniisip. Hindi lang ito nagsalita. They can't make a move recklessly.

Charlotte POV

HINDI siya nakatulog ng maayos kinagabihan. Her thoughts are full of Damien at nung usapan nila ng Daddy niya after they had their family dinner.

Her dad suggested na pumunta muna siya sa labas ng bansa at doon manirahan pansamantala hanggang sa manganak siya.

His dad has a point. Maganda ang medical facilities sa US compared to the Philippines. Hindi din niya problema ang pera dahil kakatanggap lang niya ng deposit sa kontrata nila ni Damien.

As for the Philippines, it is full of toxic people. Iba ang tingin sa kanya ng mga tao tuwing lumalabas siya na laging kinaiirita niya.

For her peace of mind, she decided to follow her dad. Pero kakausapin niya muna si Damien ng masinsinan.

Damien is a good man. Hindi niya sasayangin ang oras nito na makahanap ng maayos na babae para lang sa kanya.

She look at her phone. There are three messages from the man.

Good morning love.

Can't wait to see you later.

Can I have the honor to pick you up?

Di niya maiwasang makaramdam ng kilig. Who wouldn't? That man is your ultimate dream man.

She is single on past life. One of her regret, namatay siyang single. Kaya mas gusto niyang magkaroon ng love life on her second life.

It just that, Damien is too perfect for her own good. Naiintindihan niyo naman siguro ako di ba?

Maghahanap na lang siguro siya ng simpleng lalaki na hindi siya kayang alilain at ibalik ang kasalukuyang sitwasyan. A man who can accept her.

She typed her reply.

No need. May sasabihin din ako sa'yo. See you later.

Send.
