Trapping the CEO

RAN ADRIENNE ROSS __ "Magandang gabi po, Ms. Yerra..." alangang bati sa akin ng kasambahay. Nakita ko ang sasakyan ni Tyler sa labas at nandoon din ang mga security niya. Alam kong nakauwi na siya. Nakarinig ako ng tila gamit na nababasag sa itaas. Dumiretso ako paakyat ng hagdan. "You stupid!" narinig kong sigaw nito na tila mula sa meeting room kung saan siya madalas tumanggap ng bisita. "Umalis ka sa harapan ko! Get out!" Nasa harap na ako ng pinto nang lumabas si Ivan, ang isa sa mga business assistant niya. He obviously looked so nervous and scared. Yumuko ito nang bahagya sa akin at nagmadali na ring umalis. Pumasok ako sa loob ng silid. I saw Tyler's back. "I said get–" Napatigil ito nang bumaling sa direksyon ko at nakasalubong ang mga mata ko. His eyes were burning. He was obviously upset. Ganoon pa man, unti-unti ring naging malambot ang mga mata nito. "Babe..." "Why are you shouting?" tanong ko at nagsimulang lumapit sa kaniya. Humugot ito ng malalim na hininga. He held my waist and I initiated to kiss him on his lips. Sinalubong naman niya iyon. It was just a peck. "Nothing..." malumanay na sagot nito pero ramdam ko pa rin ang frustration sa tinig niya. "It was just about business. Let's not talk about it. Saan ka galing?" "I went shopping." Inangat ko ang dala kong shopping bags. "You bought a new dress?" "Clothes for you." "For me..." Inabot ko iyon sa kaniya. Binuksan naman niya agad para tingnan ang sleeves sa loob. Nabuo ang ngiti sa mga labi nito at dinampian ng halik ang pisngi ko. "Thank you." "Sasamahan mo ba ako sa susunod?" "I'll try... kapag maluwag na ang oras. I'll make up with you." "Gusto mong isukat?" "Can you help me?" Hindi ako nagdalawang isip na abutin ang butones ng suot niyang sleeves hanggang sa matanggal ko lahat. Marahan kong kinuha ang isa mula sa kaniya at ako na rin ang nagsuot sa kaniya. Nag-angat ako ng tingin dahil ramdam ko ang mga mata niyang nakatingin sa akin. He was never tired of looking at me with so much adoration in his eyes. Nagpatuloy ako sa pagsara ng butones at inayos ko ang kuhelyo niya, pati ang lapat ng damit sa gawing dibdib niya. "There..." "Bagay..." he whispered. "Hmm-mm," I agreed. "Bagay ka sa akin." Nangingiting napailing ako. Kinuha niya muli ang baywang ko at inabot ang mga labi ko. We responded to each other's movement bago kami muling makarinig ng katok at pagbukas ng pinto. "Mr. Deve–" "I said you fucking get out of my sight!" malakas na sigaw ni Tyler rito. Mukhang emergency ang sasabihin nito pero wala nang nagawa kung hindi ang yumuko at magmadaling umalis. "I'm sorry..." he whispered. He still looked a little bit upset kung ano man ang dahilan. Hinaplos nito ang pisngi ko. "You know you're the only one who can change my mood." "I think... you need a bath so you can relax." "Yeah..." Hinigit niya ang kamay ko at magkasalop ang mga daliring nagtungo kami sa silid naming dalawa. Nauna siyang pumasok sa bathroom habang hinahanda ko ang damit na susuotin ko. Tinanggal ko rin ang mga alahas sa katawan ko bago ako sumunod sa kaniya sa bathroom. I saw him sipping liquor while lying in the tub. Hinubad ko ang suot kong dress nang makalapit ako sa kaniya at inabot ko ang kamay niya para daluhan siya roon. Umupo ako sa harapan niya at sumandal sa malapad na dibdib niya. Naramdaman ko naman agad ang pagyapos niya sa akin at ang dahan-dahang paghalik niya sa balikat ko. We got married a few months ago. Hindi ako gaanong nahirapang kuhanin ang atensyon niya. I just made sure that he would fall in love with me at ako ang pakakasalan niya. Hinaplos ko ang braso niyang nakayakap sa akin habang kusang pumikit ang mga mata ko sa bawat pagdampi ng mga labi nito. I felt him unlock my bra. He was able to freely cup my chest. He had those huge... soft hands. I was kind of obsessed to touch. "You're so perfect... I don't regret marrying you." Bahagya akong bumaling sa kaniya. Paulit-ulit nitong hinalikan ang dulo ng ilong ko. "How was your day?" malumanay na tanong ko. "What really happened?" "Did a lot of stupid things..." "Are you leaving tonight?" "After a few hours with you." "Puwede ba akong sumama?" "Maiinip ka lang sa opisina. Babalik din ako. I'll be there beside you when you wake up. I promise." He stared at me for a while, caressing my cheek before he invaded my lips again. We spent almost an hour in the tub and half an hour in the shower. Hindi kami agad nakapagbihis dahil dinala niya ako sa ibabaw ng kama naming dalawa. We were both gasping for air when we finished. He was so mindful of his time and knew how to manage it well. He gave me a peck and a kiss on my forehead bago siya umalis sa ibabaw ko. I just watched him get dressed. Muli itong lumapit sa akin para humalik bago tuluyang umalis. I just gave myself a nap. Bumangon din ako nang magising ako ng hating gabi. Nagsuot ako ng night robe at ng tsinelas bago lumabas ng silid. Nakipagkita ako kay Port sa stock room kung saan kami madalas magkita. "Kanina pa ako naghihintay dito," reklamo nito. "Na-knockout ka na naman ba?" Hindi ako sumagot at lumapit sa kaniya. Tiningnan ko ang malapad na papel na nilatag niya sa ibabaw ng mesa. "Itong parte pa lang ng bahay ang natitingnan ng tao natin. This area right here is already clear. Narinig ko kanina, masama ang loob niya dahil nanakawan sila online kung saan nakatago ang ilang assets." "Do you have leads kung sino ang nagnakaw?" "Possibly hackers like him or baka inside job." "Can we do that?" "We can, pero kailangan natin ng taong highly knowledgeable sa ginagawa nila. We need a budget or at least a good contract na siguradong hindi tatanggihan. Wala ka bang idea kung nasaan ang vault?" "He's not mentioning anything about it or any clues. We can take our time. This won't be easy." "Right, they have access to the newest technology. Kailangan natin ng tripleng ingat. One wrong move, patay tayo." "Be careful in touching anything around this house. There are different alarms here." We were a little bit late to start the mission dahil kinailangan pa naming magpasok ng mga tauhan sa loob, although matagal nang may naipasok si Danger. We just needed additional people para makakilos kami nang maayos. I wanted to take my time. We were not in a rush. Isa pa, Tyler was very knowledgeable and vigilant as he was a hacker himself and was doing different illegal things too. Alam kong hindi magiging madali ang lahat. We had to manipulate everything para ma-execute namin lahat ng plano. I made plans with him for the next steps. Weekly lang kaming magkita or kapag may emergency. It was a good thing na siya ang head ng security ko and my personal driver kaya nakakapag-usap kami nang maayos kapag kaming dalawa lang. We didn't want to look suspicious kahit pa malaki ang tiwala sa akin ni Tyler. "What?" tanong ko habang nakangisi itong nakatingin sa leeg ko. "Kaya pala ayaw mo ng rush." "Focus, Port." He chuckled. "I'm listening. So... anong gagawin natin sa kaniya pagkatapos nating makuha lahat ng impormasyon? Any plans?" "Kill him," I answered without hesitations. "Are you sure?" mapanuksong tanong nito. "I never said anything I wasn't sure of." I didn't want to talk about other things aside from our plans. It had to be perfect. We couldn't afford to make mistakes. Bumalik din ako agad sa silid namin ni Tyler. I was able to sleep immediately. Nagising lang ako sa pamilyar na amoy nito at sa pamilyar na halik na dumadapo sa mukha ko. Unti-unti akong nagmulat ng mga mata and saw him. "Hi..." he whispered. "Sorry for waking you up." "It's okay..." inaantok na sagot ko. "I thought I'd see you naked." "I couldn't sleep last night. I took a shower again," I lied. "That's why you smell good. Wanna go down? I'll cook breakfast for you." "Hmm.. you know how to cook?" Ngumiti ito. "Yeah, but that's a secret. Only you know." "I'm still a little bit sleepy." "Go ahead, sleep again. I'll prepare your food," anito at muling hinalikan ang pisngi ko. Bumaba ito pero hindi na rin ako nakatulog. Bumangon ako para magsipilyo, naghilamos, at masuklay ng buhok. Dumiretso ako papunta sa kusina. Huminto ako sandali nang makita ko ito sa harap ng stove. He was still wearing his business attire, less his coat, and he was wearing an apron. Pinagmasdan ko lang ang malapad na likuran niya sa ilang sandali bago niya maramdaman ang presence ko. "Kanina ka pa?" "Not much." Humakbang ako palapit sa kaniya. I intentionally wrapped my arms around him and leaned my chin on his shoulder. "That smells good." "This is sweet potato hash. One of my favorites to eat for breakfast. I was planning to bake feta egg, but I think you're already hungry." "That's enough..." "You want coffee?" I nodded. "Take a seat now. I'm almost done." "I don't want to." Mahina itong tumawa. "Baka marumihan ka." It was sometimes tiring to have a clingy wife role, far from my true attitude. I needed that for the mission. I had to compliment his attitude and to his liking. Bumitaw lang ako sa kaniya nang matapos na siyang magluto. We ate breakfast together like we used to. Unang beses lang na siya ang nagluto. "Taste good..." sambit ko habang dahan-dahanng nginnguya ang niluto niya. "I used to cook for my mom since I was seven." "How did you learn to cook at that young age?" "Yaya Lorna. Siya 'yung madalas kong kasama. She was letting me watch her cook, and she was the one who taught me." That was why he was so close to that old lady. Siya ang mayordoma sa mansion, and she was so kind. I nodded. I still had not so much information about his personal life. He was a little bit private about it. "Do you know how to cook?" he asked. "Hmm-mm..." I answered and drank water. We had to. We never became rich after stealing so much dahil sa bisyo ng nga magulang ko. I had to learn all the chores as the first female born in the family. They had that poor mindset that a woman should be the one working to serve everyone in the house, especially the men. I hated that. "I wanna taste your specialty." "Just let me know if you'll have dinner with me. I'll cook." Ngumiti ito at inayos ang ilang hibla ng buhok ko. "Let's go out. I'll see kung kaya ko nang manalo sa shooting." "Do we need to bet?" "I don't think that's convenient for me. I'll think of that," nakangiting sambit nito. I was dressing up nang marinig kong may kausap siya sa balcony. He was upset again. He wanted to cancel some appointments because he had more important things to do – and that was to hang out with me. He didn't think of work while he was with me. He was even excited about the shooting. "Here's our bet, if you win, you can ask a favor from me. If I win, I'll have the right to ask you anything." Nilahad niya ang kamay sa akin. Kinuha ko naman iyon. "Deal, Mister." Nauna itong humawak ng baril. There were three different guns, pistol, shotgun, and rifle. I could see how he was doing his best na sipating mabuti ang target. Nakita ko kung paano nabuo sa ngisi ang mga labi nito pagkatapos niyang kitilin ang gatilyo. He was tall, handsome... mestizo. He always looked clean and neat. I could also see so much confidence with him the way he stands, talks, and walks. I was caught off guard staring at him when he looked in my direction. "You see that, babe?" he asked excitedly. Noon ko lang tiningnan ang target niya. He got bullseyes for his last shot. He did well. He scored above average. It had been our daily training since I turned sixteen. We were just using airsoft. "You did great." I prepared myself for my turn. I could win it, but I chose not to. Sinadya kong magpatalo. Nilingon ko ito. He was smiling at me. "Congrats, babe," he said. "Congrats, you won." Tumingin ito sa scoring board na tila nagtataka. I guess it took him a while before he finally realized na nanalo talaga siya. "Really?" he smiled from ear to ear. Binaba ko ang dala kong baril nang hindi tinatanggal ang tingin sa kaniya. His smile made him look more handsome. "I was busy staring at you. You looked so hot holding a gun, babe..." anito habang papalapit sa akin. "Can't help it." "You keep thinking that you'll lose against me." "You know... I'm very competitive. Sa'yo lang ako handang magpatalo," nakangising sambit nito at hinapit ang baywang ko papalapit sa kaniya. "So... what's your favor?" Naglabas ito ng isang pulang rosas mula sa likuran niya na hindi ko alam kung saan nanggaling. "It's our first anniversary 9 months from now. Marry me again..." Marahan kong kinuha ang rosas mula sa kaniya. "What if I say no?" "Ayos lang sana... kung nanalo ka, but you lose, Mrs. Deveraux. You don't have an option." "Mr. Deveraux, kailangan na po nating umalis–" "Shut up," agad putol niya sa tauhan niya. "I'm still talking to my wife." I pursed my lips and nodded. "I will. I think you really have to go now." "No. Ihahatid kita." "I can go home alone. Magta-taxi na lang ako." "I said no. You're the VIP, not anyone else." I always thought that it was easy to manipulate him because of that attitude. He would always put me as his priority. We sat in the back seat of the car, too close to each other. Humawak ito sa hita ko habang nagtatanong sa akin tungkol sa club that I was managing. He had multiple calls, but he ignored all of it hanggang sa makarating kami sa bahay. Muli nitong hinigit ang baywang ko. "I'll see you tonight." "I'll cook dinner." "I'm excited." Kinuha nito ang pisngi ko at marahang hinalikan ang mga labi ko. It started slow, until it went deep. He also kissed my cheek, nose, forehead, and back to my lips. He flashed a smile again and found myself smiling back at him. "I have to give you a last kiss before I can't leave." He gave me a peck bago pumasok sa sasakyan niya. Pinanuod ko lang iyon papalayo hanggang sa mawala sa paningin ko. "Dumadalas ang pagngiti-ngiti mo, ah?" Narinig kong tinig ni Port. Bumaling ako sa kaniya at nakita ang nakaangat na sulok ng labi niya. "Bagay sa'yo. Patikim din ng luto mo." I glared at him. "Shut up."
