Elites 1: Wyatt Hernandez [COMPLETED]

⚽ Chapter 16 ⚽

- His Side -

Wyatt's POV

The Annual Hernandez Academe Charity Ball is always held at Chateau Real. Or that was what he remembers ever since he was a child. The ball looked really grand from outside. Many women were maliciously smiling at me while batting their eyelashes. Hindi ko pinansin ang mga iyon at tinungo ang entrance ng ball. Kakaunti pa lamang ang nandoon kaya maluwag-luwag pa ang hallway.

Kinuha ko ang guest list sa registration table at binasa iyon. Tumigil ang mata niya sa isang partikular na pangalan. Dominique dela Merced. How did that name became a part of this list? Nang basahin ko ang pangalan ng ibang guest ay puro bigatin sa business. So why is this woman listed here?

"Uhm...Miss?" tanong ko sa bantay sa registration table.

"Yes, Mr. Hernandez?"

"Why is this name in this list?" tinuro ko ang pangalan ni Dominique.

"Ah, si Miss Dom po? VIP guest po siya ni chairwoman eh. Saka ang pagkakaalam ko po, may business ties ang Hernandez Academe sa business niya."

Miss Dom? Business? This woman owns a business? Monkey business maybe?

"Tell me, Miss. Is she always present in this ball?"

"Sa tatlong taong naghhold po ng event si chairwoman lagi pong present si Miss Dom. So most likely, baka po pupunta rin siya ngayon."

Tumango-tango ako. My mother didn't tell me anything about Dominique and her ties with her. Based from his mother's actions toward Dominique, it is very weird to see the two in one room without killing each other.

"Is she here already?"

"Uh hindi ko pa po siya nakita Sir eh. Baka po maya-maya pa."

Tumango nalang ako. "Okay, thanks."

Habang kumakapal ang tao sa ball room ay hinahanap ng mga mata ko ang isang partikular na mukha.

"Hijo, what do you think?"

Napatingin ako kay Mom na nakadamit ng grandiosong kasuotan. She looks young actually for her age. I don't know if me, coming home brought the youthfulness out of her.

"You look young Mom."

"Bolero ka talaga hijo. Anak ka nga ng tatay mo." Ngumiti ito ng malungkot. I know the story behind that smile. "Ano ka ba anak, we should have fun! You will be meeting someone tonight anak."

Pumasok ang isang pangalan sa isip ko. "Mom is that-"

Lumingon ito sa likod ko at may sinalubong. "Dom, hija! Oh my you look gorgeous as always."

No fucking way. That face. Who can forget that? She looked different than before. Way different than I last saw her. Her features looked more mature. Her body was shaped perfectly which was enhanced by the gown she is wearing. The ad didn't do her justice. She just looked...beautiful. Tss. Beautiful my ass!

Ngumiti ito at nang magsalita ito ay napataas ang mga kilay ko. "You look great as well, tita. The party is great!" Base sa pananalita nito, mukhang sanay na ito sa pagiingles. I remembered, she can't even speak or understand some English words. But that's what you loved about her....Oh shut up...!

Bumaling sa akin si Mom at humawak sa braso ko. Nakatingin pa rin ako sa mukha nito. "I know I already told you my son will be here."

Nakangiti man ito, napansin kong may kakaiba sa mga mata nito. Her stare is cold and unfeeling. "Yes, I remember." Kahit nakapaskil ang ngiti sa mga labi nito, parang may nakatagong kakaiba sa likod niyon.
