Chapter 19 Bella Alleja Cion "Nakahanda na ang saskayan milady," sambit ni Jameson matapos matulala ng ilang sandali. He watched me go downstairs, wearing this elegant white dress. Parang hindi ako makabasag pinggan sa ayos ko ngayon. I will portray my name tonight, a Bella, a beauty and a perfect princess. I am not going to deceive anyone really. Hindi ako magpapanggap na mabait ngayon, babawasan ko lang yung attitude ko. My main agenda might be the business dinner, to have a business talk or whatsoever... Yet, it is also a bit of time to introduce myself with my in laws. "Then what are we waiting for then?" inip na sabi ko kay Jameson. He lead the way papunta sa kotse. He opened the door, naramdaman ko pa ang pag-angkla ng kanyang kamay sa aking bewang. He wants to guide me, but I know he is still on his very agenda of seducing me. Geez. Masyado siyang halata. Umupo na ako sa seat. I have my bodyguard na nasa isang kotse pa. My safety over anything else. I am a big bait so marami na rin akong naranasan na mga threat sa buhay ko. Nagsimula na ang nakakainip na biyahe. I took my latest phone, start scrolling my feed while trying to catch-up with some matter. I am guily of stalking some b***h here. Yup, I am starting to see some IG post ni Anita. She looks so happy that she is finally landed outside of the country. I rolled my eyes... Pathetic little girl. Nang maumay na ako ay iniba ko na ang in-stalk ko. I saw some post with the insta account of Cromford. His newest post is very breath taking. He looks damn handsome with his suit and his handsome serious post. I think he is getting ready for me, maybe he does not really know that I will be his accompany. But I am their very special guest... Nakarating na ako sa kanilang tahanan. Their manor is big enough, the whole outer design of the house and the landscape garden itself looks fabulous and elegant. Madilim na sa labas ko I wear my fur jacket. Someone assited me para makapasok na. The husband couple Davies greeted me. "A pleasant night ija," ani ng biological father ko. Technically ay hindi naman niya alam na anak niya ako. Point taken... "Thanks tito," iyon na lang ang nasabi ko habang iniikot ko ang mata. Hanggang sa magtama ang akin at ang kay Cromford. He is a bit shock ng makuha ko ngunit unti-unti ring naging seryoso ang kanyang mukha... Surprise babe, your rightful wife is here. They guides me to their dinning room. It is classic, alam niyo yung mga nababasa o napapanood niyong pang mayaman na dinning area. It is almost like that. The food are well, and it shock me that Mr. Davies is the one who cook all of this dishes. They are all good and satisfying. "This curry is good po, I wish I can learn how to cook this dish," wika ko. I am not lying when I said it is good. I never thought that my biological father cooks so well. "I am glad you are liking ut. You are free to visit here and I will teach you some of my greatest recipe," sambit niya. I eventually have my inner grin. I am loving where it is going. Nakita ko naman ang pagkunot ng noo ni Cromford. He just can't snap us. I am talking to his parents... Takot lang niya, I am one of their biggest investors. They are getting higher in terms of the industry because of our help. Alam nila na ang mga Cion ang kanilang advantage... "Thank you po," sabi ko naman na may inosenteng ngiti. We heard the silent sound from Cromford with disapproving smug look. "What's the problem son?" tanong ng mas dominant na Davies. "None dad," sambit ng binata with a sound of nonchalant. I take their attention with the a words then. "Tito, about po roon sa business proposal. I just want to inform you that Taymom is taking a drastic measure with it. The project needs a lot of investments and financial aid. So we are having a thought about it. Pero ako po ang bahalang mag-convince kay Taymom..." sambit ko. Siyempre ito yung oras at pagkakataon ko para magpabango sa kanila. They look relief with what I have said. "Thanks Bella. It will be a good thing for us if this project get a support from you parent. Ellen and you are the reason why our company still exist." We continued our small talks while eating, I also tasted their lovely baked bread and muffins as a dessert. Cromford's family has this warmth, good for him and he grows with a complete family. " Cromford ijo, igala mo muna sa bahay at garden si Bella habang nagpapababa kayo ng kinain, sige na. Entertain our guest." Utos iyon ng papa ni Cromford. I internally win a victory. I want yo say, good game Bella. Akmang aangal pa si Cromford, ngunit itinikom na lang niya ang kanyang bibig. " Follow. Me," matigas na sabi nito. Like him, he is hard in so many ways. Hard headed, hard headed and hard minded. Stubborn big guy really don't know how to see the real trap. Tahimik kaming naglalakad sa pasilyo ng bahay nila. There are so many paintings out there. Pero hindi ito ina-appreciate ni Cromford. Gawa kasi ito lahat ng kuya nya na- kinasusuklaman niya. "Sumisipsip ka pa rin sa mga magulang ko ha? As if they can dictate what I want, kahit anong gawin mo Bella ay hinding hindi kita magugustuhan. Itaga mo iyan sa bato," angal nito habang nasa mukha ang pagkadisgusto. "Oh honey, I always get what I want. I can use my resources to obtain what I need. Alam mo kung gaano ako ka importante sa buhay ninyo," buong pagmamalaki na sabi ko. That's a fact. "Hindi bale na, we can stand on our own kahit wala pa ang tulong niyo." Pagak naman akong natawa sa kanya. "I doubt it Cromford. Hindi na bago ang balitang nangyari sa pamilya niyo, you can't keep it a secret. At lalo na na hindi niyo mababago ang katotohanan na kung hindi sa amin. Matagal na kayong nalimas at naabo ang inyong business." It is because of what happened four years ago. May binugbog ang kuya ni Cromford na si Crafton. Anak pala ito ng isa ring kilalang business tycoon na labis na makapangyarihan. Dahil sa impluwensya ng mga Jimenez ay halos mawalan na ng investment ang kompanya nila Cromford. They almost got bankrupt in a snap. They have no choice, at iyon ang lumapit sa akin. If it not for us, matagal na silang nasadlak sa hirap. Pero dahil sa impluwensya ng mga Cion, they are now climbing to the top again. Hindi na sila magalaw ng mga Jimenez. They know how Cion are so untouchable from the start.
