CHAPTER 2
1861 Words
ANGELIQUE doesn’t know why she felt nervous. She is now walking into Felix's building. She is wearing corporate attire. Plain white fit blouse and a blazer on top and partner with a fitted skirt above the knee.
Tinungo niya ang reception area.
“Hi! I have an appointment with Mr. Wilder.”
The receptionist smiled at her genuinely. “Name please,” the receptionist asked.
“Angelique Ramos.”
Pagkarinig sa kanyang pangalan ay mabilis itong nag-radyo sa isang lalaki. Maya-maya pa ay mayroong lumapit.
“Dindo, paki assist si Mrs. Wilder. Kanina pa hinihintay ni sir ang kanyang asawa."
Angelique was shocked by the way she addressed her. 'ASAWA?'
Sumunod siya sa lalaking napag-utusan.
Sumakay sila ng elevator na mayroong note na 'Only for Wilder's family' Pinindot nito ang pinaka itaas. 22nd. That’s high!
Ting...
Pagbukas ng elevator ay sumunod na lamang si Angelique kay Dindo, nakita niya na kinausap nito sandali ang sekretarya at mabilis ding nilisan ang floor.
Sinalubong si Angelique ng sekretarya. Ito rin siguro ang kanyang na kausap sa telepono.
“Good morning Mrs.Wilder. Dito po tayo.”
“I’m sorry, but I am not Mrs. Wilder.I AM MISS RAMOS,” pagtatama niya.
The secretary just smiled at her and opened the door.
Angelique saw a guy standing, facing the glass wall and both hands were inside his pocket. He’s wearing an expensive coat and tie.
“Mr. Wilder, your wife is here.”
Hindi alam ni Angelique ngunit ang bilis nang t***k ng kanyang puso. Pakiramdam niya ay sasabog ito.
Then the guy turned around and looked at her. Pinagmasdan siya nito mula ulo hanggang paa. Paulit-ulit siya nitong pinagmasdan sa ganoong paraan.
Tango lamang ang sinagot ng lalaki sa secretary at hindi pa rin nito inaalis ang mata sa kanya.
He looks so foreign. Marunong kaya itong mag tagalog? Blue eyes, thick eyebrows, pointed nose and slightly pouty red lips. He’s moreno and he looks taller in person. He’s not real. These looks don’t exist. It’s like someone drew this guy and magically happened to be real.
Angelique saw the secretary leave the room and closed the door.
“Sit.” Tinuro nito ang upuan sa
harap ng table. Nauna itong naupo sa kanyang pwesto na animo'y isang hari.
Angelique gasped for breath. Ang lalim ng boses nito na akala mo ay galing kung saan. His voice sounds dangerous but pleasant to hear.
Nakatingin lamang ang lalaki sa kanya at hindi maalis ang titig.
She sat down.
Huminga muna siya nang malalim bago nagsalita.
“So, I think you already know why I’m here?" paninimula niya.
He just nodded.
“K-kelan mo pa nalaman?” she asked again.
“Long time ago,” walang ganang sagot ni Felix. Sumandal ito sa swivel chair at simpleng ginalaw na para bang nilalaro.
“Kung ganoon pala, bakit hindi mo ako hinahanap? Para sana na ayos natin 'to dati pa?” medyo tumataas na ang boses ni Angelique ngunit kontrolado pa rin.
“I did, but you were in a coma.”
Yeah. She was in a coma for six months.
“But I’m okay now! Ayusin na natin ito.”
Tumango lang ulit si Felix. He is not really interested in what she was saying. All he did was look at her face like he was trying to memorize it.
“Nalaman mo ba kung paano ito nangyari?” muling tanong ni Angelique.
“No! No time to find out. You know what Miss Ramos? I am a busy person. Hindi ako masyadong nag-aaksaya nang oras sa mga walang kabuluhang bagay.”
“Walang kabuluhan sayo 'to? Kasal ka sa taong hindi mo kilala! Besides, nalaman ko na mayaman ka. Billionaire actually! Kayang-kaya mo na pa imbestigahan kung paano nangyari ito, hindi ba?”
He smirks. “Married to you is not bad at all. When I saw you in a coma... lying in that private hospital bed. You know what I wanna do...?”
Felix stood up and walked near her. Kinuha niya ang isang swivel chair na katabi ng upuan ni Angelique. Hinila niya ito papalapit sa dalaga at doon ay naupo.
Inilapit ni Felix ang mukha kay Angelique, halos isang pulgada lamang ang layo nila sa isa't isa.
“...I wanted to kidnap and take you home.”
Angelique can smell his scent and breath. It’s kinda addicting! Napalunok siya. His voice is giving her goosebumps. Nagtayuan ang kanyang mga balahibo.
“We need to discuss this professionally, P-please Mr. Wilder," she said it with a nervous voice.
Tumayo naman si Felix at nag-dial sa office telephone.
“Kath, send Attorney Jimenez here.”
He then sat down on his original chair, and still looking at her.
Just a minute. Someone entered his office. Not an old man but it’s obvious that he is older than them.
“You can sit down there," Felix said with a commanding voice.
Umupo naman ang Attorney sa isang chair na malapit kay Angelique.
“Explain it to her,” utos muli ni Felix.
“Ang tanging magiging solusyon lamang sa inyong problema ay Annulment. Ngunit ang annulment ay hindi basta-basta.” Naglabas ito ng papel sa kanyang attaché case. Binigyan sila nang tig-isa.
“There are six legal grounds for annulment. Ayon sa inyong papel, ang araw na kayo ay kinasal... You, Ms. Ramos was 22 back then, and Mr. Wilder was 32 years old.”
“Eh, hindi nga ako kinasal sa kanya!” tumaas na ang boses ni Angelique.
“Nag-base lamang ako sa nakalagay sa inyong papel. Let me continue, Ms. Ramos."
"...Ibig sabihin ay hindi kayo pasok sa una, which is lack of parental consent. Pangalawa ay, psychological incapacity which means you are not mentally fit. Is there any chance na mayroon kang iniinom na gamot for your mental health back then?”
She doesn't remember. Pero ang pagkakatanda niya ay wala naman.
Umiling lamang siya.
“The other grounds are fraud which is not the ideal of Mr. Wilder. The other one is Consent of marriage obtained by force. Which is hard to prove because we don’t have solid evidence.”
“Hindi pa ba sapat ang ebidensya na hindi kami magkakilala? Ngayon ko lang siya nakita attorney!"
“That will be hard to prove too, because you were both living in Santa Fe.”
She frowned and looked at the guy who was just looking at her like he never gets tired of her face.
“You live in Sta. Fe?” she asked Felix.
“Born and raised,” he answered with enigmatic smile.
Lalong lumalim ang pagka kunot ng noo ni Angelique. 'Who are you?' she asked herself.
“The last two grounds for annulments are serious sexually transmitted disease and impotence. Is there any chance
that you--”
“--No! I’m a virgin how would I know that!” nabigla siya sa kanyang sinabi. Ngunit naiinis din siya dahil sa kanya lang ito tinanong ng attorney.
“Well, I don’t have that kind of disease. I don’t f*ck women without my condom, and I’m sure I can give you a baby if you will let me,” Felix answered. He looked at Angelique, and he laughed with sarcasm.
“I’m not playing here, Mr. Wilder! Walang nakakatawa sa nangyayari. Kailangan natin ayusin ito dahil ikakasal na ako!” Nauubusan na ng pasensya si Angelique.
“Oh, so, my wife is cheating...” Felix looked at his attorney. “...maaari ko ba silang idemanda ng kanyang boyfriend? Because I felt deceived by my own wife.” Then Felix smiled like a demon.
“Pwede mo silang kasuhan bigamy at adultery,” sagot ng attorney.
“What are you doing Mr. Wilder! I am serious here."
“So am I, Miss Ramos."
"Dapat ang inaalam mo ay paanong nangyari ito? Paanong ang kagaya natin na hindi magkakilala ay kasal?” Napatayo na si Angelique sa inis.
"Like I said, I don't mind if I'm married to you."
Felix also stood up and walked towards Angelique. He lifted her chin up towards his face. He stared at her brown round eyes. “Break up with your boyfriend Angelique, and let’s make this marriage work out.”
Binalya ni Angelique ang kamay ni Felix na nakahawak sa kanyang baba. She is now mad!
“Mr. Jimenez. Thank you but you can go now.” Pinaalis ni Felix ang attorney ng hindi man lang ito tinitignan.
Naramdaman nila ang pagtayo nito at paglabas ng opisina.
Nang maisara ang pinto ay mabilis hinila ni Felix si Angelique sa isang sofa na naroon at pabalya siyang pinaupo.
Nagulat si Angelique sa ginawa ng lalaki.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
“This!” At sinunggaban siya nito ng halik na nagpaparusa.
Pilit kumakawala si Angelique. Ngunit hinawakan nito ang kanyang dalawang kamay pataas sa kanyang ulunan gamit lamang ang isang kamay. At ang isang palad nito ay dumadapo kung saan-saan. Inipit din nito ang kanyang mga paa sa mga sariling binti.
She didn’t kiss him back. Nakatikom lamang ang bibig niya. Then Felix squeezed her bre*st. Napaungol si Angelique kaya naman mabilis naipasok ni Felix ang kanyang dila sa bibig niya. Ninamnam nito ang bawat sulok.
Felix can hear her little moan. Halos punitin niya ang pang-itaas nitong damit sa kasabikan na makita ang mga dibdib ni Angelique. Binitawan na niya ang pagkakahawak sa mga kamay ng babae, dahil hindi na ito nanlalaban at nakikita niyang nagugustuhan na rin nito ang nangyayari.
He slid her bra and sucked her ni*ple. She’s pulling his hair and that excites him.
He then slowly touched her precious gems down there. She’s wet. He can feel it above her undies.
He kissed her again, this time she responded.
Angelique felt the hunger and longing.
Naghahalikan din naman sila ng kanyang nobyo. Ngunit hindi siya nakakaramdam ng ganitong pananabik.
Anong nangyari sa kanya?!
Felix is now playing her p*ssy.
Napapaiktad si Angelique sa tuwing tumatama ito sa sensitive spot.
“Hmmpp!!!” she moaned but not so loud.
“I’ll play it inside," he asked her, and she just nodded.
Ibinaba ni Felix ang undies ni Angelique hanggang binti. At muling pinaglaruan ang basang hiyas nito.
“Ahh. Please!” She can’t help it.
“You want me to stop?” Felix asked her with his soft deep voice.
Umiling si Angelique nang mabilis. Not now!
Dahil may nararamdaman na siyang masikip sa kanyang puson na para bang may nais lumabas.
Felix kissed her again. Nag-espadahan ang kanilang mga dila.
Angelique's body is moving. Sinasalubong niya ang galaw ng mga daliri ng lalaki.
“Ugh, I think I’m…I’m..ugh!”
Felix stopped kissing Angelique and just
stared at her face.
“Yes baby, c*m for me please!”
Oh, God! His wife is really beautiful. Her face is full of lust, but he saw more than that. She is f*cking gorgeous. He saw a lot of beautiful women, but her beauty is unexplainable.
Breathtaking is an understatement.
“You’re mine, Angelique. Just mine!”
Felix felt her finger nails on his arms. Alam niyang lumubog ito at malamang ay may kaunting dugo. He knew!
She just came!
