Ryx Stallix

Chapter 2

Chapter 2



His confession shaken my world. I stared at him doumbfoundedly for I don't know how long.

Pinagtritripan niya ba ako?

Napalunok ako at kahit gusto kong umiwas ng tingin sa kaniya ay parang nanigas na ako sa kinatatayuan ko at hindi na makagalaw.

"You must be shock. I understand." he nodded softly.

"Avresia," he called."How old are you now?" he asked.

"23. I'll be going 24 next month." I answered still in shock.

Tumango-tango siya." And I'm 30." sumulyap siya sa akin." The rumors about me trying to win a model's heart is actually true." He said, chuckling.

Parang bumilis ang t***k ng puso ko at kinabahan.

"I want to court you, Avs. That's why I gave a large amount of money to the Imperial Entertainment so that they can ensure your safety and that they can continuously runs." nawala ang ngiti sa labi ni Ryx at parang nag-iba ang aura nito.

"What do you think will happen to the Imperial Entertainment when that incident of you, almost got r**e happened?" he asked, his voice is on edge.

Is he mad?

"I...I don't know." kinakabahang sagot ko.

He smiled coldly and caress my cheek.

"I told the owner of the Imperial Entertainment that I will be the sponsors of their events in exchange they have to make sure you'll be taken good care of." mula sa pisngi ko bumaba ang kamay niya sa leeg ko, marahan niyang hinaplos iyon at tila nagdilim ang mata niya ng tumingin sa leeg ko."And yet they failed to do that."

I remembered Ryx hated the idea of me entering the Imperial Entertainment. He hates my job. When he first learned that I'll be working as a model he gave me that disgust look but never commented about it.

"R-Ryx,"

"One reason." He said." Give me one reason why I should not make the Imperial Entertainment go down, Avresia."

Alam kong kapag sinabi niya hindi malayong gawin niya nga iyon. Lalo na sa nakikita ko sa mga mata niya na labis-labis na galit.

He keeps gritting his teeth and his brows furrowed.

"Imperial Entertainment is like a family to me, Ryx. Hindi naman nila kasalanan ang nangyari." I said.

Tumango siya as if it was an easy negotiation.

"That's why you'll be staying here. I'll spare them and you can still continue working there."he said." But as for that bastard, I'll make him lose his face."nagbabantang sabi niya.

Noong una hindi ko pa maintindihan kung ano ang ibig niyang sabihin doon pero kinabukasan napanuod ko sa TV ang pagkatanggal ni senator Dominic sa posisyon nito at ang patong-patong na kasong isinampa sa lalaki. Hindi lang iyon, pati ang anak nito ay humaharap din sa samu't saring kaso. Ang buong pamilya nito ay may malaking problemang kinakaharap.

"I made you breakfast."

Napalingon ako kay Ryx ng magsalita ito sa likuran. Hindi ko napansin ang presensiya niya dahil tutok na tutok ang mga mata ko sa pinapanuod na balita.

Hindi ko alam kung kailangan ko pa ba itanong kung sino ang nasa likod ng lahat ng ito lalo na at obvious na obvious naman na ang lalaking nasa likuran ko ang may kagagawan ng lahat.

"Oh. You're watching that." He said emotionless.

"O-oo."

"Don't waste your time watching those people like them, Avs. Why don't we eat breakfast and after that I'll drive you off to your work?"

I still feel uncomfortable towards Ryx especially his change of behavior or was he always like this with me even before? I really don't know. Marinig ko pa lang ang pangalan niya noon ay kinakabahan na agad ako sa takot tapos hindi pa siya palangiti noon at palaging seryoso ang mukha. He don't hang-out with other kids except his younger brother and his cousins. They always seen as if they have their own world and that they owns the Caligtan. Sa kanilang lima si Ryx ang pinakatahimik at masungit.

Akala ko ako lang ang bababa ng huminto ang sasakyan sa tapat ng Imperial Entertainment pero napalingon agad ako sa driver seat ng marinig kong bumukas ang pinto doon at lumabas si Ryx. Umikot siya sa kabila at pinagbuksan ako ng pinto.

"You're going too?" hindi ko mapigilang tanong sa kaniya ng makababa na ako sa sasakyan.

Bumaba ang tingin niya sa akin at parang naweweirduhan siya sa tanong ko pero sa huli ay tumango siya." Yes." tipid niyang sagot.

"O-okay."

Mabilis kaming nakaagaw ng atensyon ng tuluyan na kaming makapasok sa gusali.

Those people that knows me greet me and I returned the same thing. Samantalang ang katabi ko naman ay nanatiling poker face kahit na madami ang bumabati sa kaniya.

"Where will you headed now?" tanong niya ng makasakay kami ng elevator.

Sumulyap ako sa kaniya." Sa 3rd floor." sagot ko.

Tumango siya at hindi na nagsalita pa.

"I-Ikaw?" I asked.

"I'll go and meet the CEO. We've talked last night." he answered.

Bigla akong nakaramdam ng pag-aalala. We've talked about the Imperial Entertainment last night and if my memories serves me right...I don't think it'll we be a peaceful talk with madam Yessa. Ryx actually manage to pull out in just one night to put that creepy perverted man's life ruin. Hindi lang ang lalaki kundi ang buong pamilya nito. Hindi impossible na...

"Don't think too much," napaigtad ako sa gulat ng magsalita siya." She just invited me for breakfast."

"But we already ate breakfast, Ryx." I said.

"Yes." He chuckled." It's just a talk. Nothing bad will happen there so you don't need to worry, Avs." aniya sa marahang boses.

"O-okay."

"I'll see you before I leave the Imperial Entertainment." He said and the elevator open. Nasa 3rd floor na kami. Isang sulyap ang ginawad ko sa kaniya bago tuluyan ng lumabas ng elevator. Before the elevator close, Ryx smiled at me.

Would it be really okay? Dapat ba sumama ako sa kaniya? But what else can I do? It's not like I'll be a help for Madam Yessa, in fact the reason why she is facing trouble is because of me.

And I can't help but to think, after Madam Yessa talked to him would I be getting fired?
