Clyde's PoV

"T-Thanks for dropping me off" Eiffel hesitantly smiled through the opened window of the car. Masasabi kong hindi pa din kami maayos na naguusap simula kahapon pero hindi ko pababayaan ang tungkulin ko bilang asawa niya kaya kahit na awkward ay hinatid ko padin siya sa SU.

Madaming mga studyante ang pasimpleng nakatingin sa amin kaya minabuti ko nang hindi bumaba pa ng sasakyan.

Tumango ako "Take care" bilin ko at pinaharurot na ang sasakyan ko paalis. I gazed on the rearview mirror and saw her still standing and watching my car leave with those beautiful eyes of hers where sadness is clearly reflected on.

I heaved a deep sigh and gazed on the ring on my hand. I turned on my wireless earpiece and contacted someone.

"Meet me at my office"

''""

"Why did you have to call me in that cold tone brad? Akala ko Tatay ko ang tumawag tuloy" reklamo ni Willam pagkapasok niya sa office ko at iniabot sa sekretarya ko ang hawak niyang bouquet ng bulaklak "Good morning to you, my Lovely Ana" Ana rolled her eyes but nevertheless accepted it and started fixing it in a vase.

Willam sat down on the chair in front of me smiling widely "So what do you need my service for Mr. Fuentabella?" 

"21th Duke in line of the House of Crowbell, Silvariuz de Seville is here in the Philippines" I stated placing a printed picture on top of the table.

"Sweet heavens... This is one hell of a handsome man" napanganga si Willam "Kung naging babae ako, I'll run after him till the end of the world!" bulalas ng sira ulong ito.

"Baka gusto mong tumakbo sa dulo ng mundo habang hinahabol kita ng itak?" pikon na tanong ko sa kanya na ikinatawa niya.

"Ikaw naman brad hindi na mabiro, siyempre kung naging babae ako, ikaw ang una kong lalandiin but sorry, I was born as handsome as Piolo Pascual, right my love?" hindi siya sinagot ng ngayon ay napakaganda man ngunit napakalamig na sekretarya ko.

"So, what do you plan now that he's here to take back his possession?" Willam narrowed his eyes.

"Eiffel is my wife! She is mine!" I snapped earning shocked reactions from my secretary and best friend.

Frustrated na napahilamos ako ng mukha ko "Sorry. I'm easily irritated these past few days, I am honestly trying my best to get hold of my emotions in order to avoid scaring my wife again..." I stated remembering my wife's scared look last night.

"I understand, I guess you're really are in a deep shit right now brad. Maski naman ako ay sasaniban ng demonyo kung bigla may susulpot na mangaagaw ng pagmamayari ko" Willam eyes glinted with sudden blood thirst but smiled again in a snap of second.

"Pero, dahan dahan lang sa inis brad, madali ka niyang tumanda saka wag ka masyadong maiinsecure! Mas kepogi ka pa namang lalaki dito e!"

"What do you want to do Clyde?" tanong ni Lovely Ana habang inaayos ang mga papeles sa lamesa ko.

I heave another deep sigh "I want him gone, as soon as possible" I answered without hesitations.

"Ay bad yan" nakapout na sagot ni Willam. "Ayokong bisitahin sa kulungan ang best friend ko so let's jump to another plan"

"Mr. Feng is right Clyde, don't do anything hasty, you're after all against up with a noble just like your wife"

Napakunot noo si Wilan nang marinig niya ang sinabi ni Ana "Teka lang, kelan mo pa nalaman ang mga bagay na ito my Lovely Ana?"
