TUTOK ANG buong atensyon nilang lahat sa live footage na nakahain sa kanila ngayon. With Levi's connections, nagawa nilang ma block ang mga tauhan na kasama ni Mr. Jocson. He's using those men to infiltrate Ryker's family company.

She's surprised that he had a lot of con artist. Nakikinita na niya ang motibo ng mga ito.

"Really?" She groaned as she watch Levi's men replace those con artist.

Mayabang na tumawa si Levi sa kanya. "Cali, the most satisfying part is when you think you'll win, but shit will happen without you noticing it. I can't wait for his reaction! Lalabas siya sa opisina ni Ryker na walang dalang pera."

"You're road!" Natatawang sabi ni Travis at nakipag fist bump pa kay Levi.

Cj and Sean shaked their heads and focus on the live footage. She smiled when he finished his blueberry cheesecake and mocha frappuccino that fast. Sinenyasan niya ang dalawa na manahimik muna nang makita na bumuka ang bibig ni Mr. Jocson.

"I heard binahay mo na ang pamangkin ko?" Nang-aasar ang klase ng ngisi na nasa mga labi nito. Tumaas ang kilay ni Cj, bracing herself, whatever he'll says hindi 'yon totoo.

Ryker shrugged. "Binahay is a strong accusation, Mr. Jocson."

"Hindi ba?" Mr. Jocson taunted.

"Ang kulit naman pala ng matanda na 'to," hindi niya mapigilan ang magkomento.

"Binahay naman talaga hindi ba?" Panggagatong ni Travis at talagang tumingin pa kay Levi para sakyan ito.

"Binahay natin." She corrected.

Ayon naman talaga ang tamang term. Binahay nila. Hindi lang si Ryker ang nagdesisyon. Silang lahat.

"Binahay kasi natin, gago! Ayaw ko mabaril ah! Tangina mo, Travis!" Levi blabbered and pushed Travis.

"Shut up!" Sean groaned. As if on cue, humina ang boses ng dalawa but they're still arguing. Nonsense.

Ryker was playing with his pen as he shakes his head, his smile was taunting the old man.

"I guess, you're somehow right." He answered and tapped his pen against his table. "What's our agenda for today, Mr. Jocson? As you can see, I have a lot of things to do. I can't entertain you." Sumeryoso ang mukha ni Ryker.

"Well, I just thought you're welcome me since I am now one of your company's stock holder." Mayabang na sabi nito. "Hindi ko nabili ang parte ni Nyker but I'm sure one day, bibigay din ang kapatid mo sa offer ko. Who can resist a young and virgin woman?" Inilahad pa nito ang mga kamay at tumawa kahit wala namang nakakatawa.

Sabay silang nailing ni Sean sa mga naririnig na lumalabas sa mabahong bibig nito.

"My brother." Confident na sagot ni Ryker.

Levi's laughed so hard while pointing at the screen. "This mother fucker! Nyker's allergic to virgins!"

Cj sighed. Just like his older brother, Nyker was afraid of the word commitment, ang lagi nitong dahilan ay kesyo bata pa siya. He wants to explore the world as long as he can, kasama na roon ang mga babae na dumadaan sa kamay nito. Kahit anong pigil o sermon niya kay Nyker, hindi ito nakikinig.

"I can give him tons if he's up to polygamy. The more, the merrier."

"You're talking nonsense, Mr. Jocson. If he's up for it, he needs to equally love his partner. Ang sinasabi mong the more, the merrier, naa-apply lang sa kama. Hindi hayok sa sex ang kapatid ko." Kung ibang tao ang makakarinig kay Ryker. Iisipin ng mga ito na kalmado ito, lalo na at nakangiti ito.

But they knew better. Ryker want to strangle the man in front of him for talking shits about his brother.

"Well, he may be a little wild but the word respect was still intact with him. If he lost it, I'll kill him myself." Aniya at maaliwalas na ngumiti sa kaharap.

"Oh fuck! If I was him, tatakbo na ako palayo kay Ryker!" Levi exaggeratedly whispered.

Cj snickered and crossed her arms.

"You're no fun, Ryker. Let him explore."

Malalim na bumuntong hininga si Ryker. "As I've said, Mr. Jocson, I don't have time to talk and entertain you. If we keep on talking about your addiction kink, I'm sorry but I have to kick you out." Ubos na ang pasensya nito para sa lalaki.

Mr. Jocson just smirked and stood up. Inayos nito ang suot na coat at walang imik na lumabas sa office ni Ryker.

"Boys, he's out. Position." She heard Levi said.

Agad siya nitong pinatabi at humarap sa laptop. He made them wear an earpiece as Sean checked the CCTV's one by one. Hindi siya sanay sa nakikita niya ngayon, palaging nasa labas si Cj kapag may misyon sila.

Bahagyang umawang ang mga labi niya nang marinig ang boses ni Mr. Jocson sa speaker na konektado sa laptop ni Travis. She can also heard Levi's men. 'Yung mga lalaki na pinatumba ang mga con artist na kasama ni Mr. Jocson.

"Corner him." Levi commanded.

Nakita nila sa live footage ang mabilis na pagkilos ng mga lalaki at sinalubong si Mr. Jocson sa parking lot ng building. May dala dala ang mga ito na attache case, hindi niya 'yon napansin kanina na ikinakunot ng noo niya.

"What's with the attache case?" Kunot noong tanong niya kay Levi.

Levi looked up at her and wink, "props."

Umawang ang mga labi niya at tumango.

"Ako ang naglagay ng laman niyan. Hindi mo itatanong kung ano?" Travis asked, pouting his lips.

Cj chuckled. "Ano?"

"Surprise!" Travis smiled and pointed the screen.

Nakapamulsa na nakasandal si Mr. Jocson sa sasakyan nito. He even lit up his cigarette, kahit may nakapaskil naman malapit sa pinag parking-an niya na bawal manigarilyo. Not because he's part of the stock holder, gagawin na nito ang lahat ng gusto niya. Sean was busy tapping on his laptop at ilang minuto lang nakangisi na ito sa kanila.

"Cali, can you call Ryker? Tell him it's done."

"What's done?" Nagtatakang tanong niya habang tinatawagan si Ryker.

"The footage. The documents. His 10% shares. Whatever he'll use against us in court were now deleted and cannot be acquired anymore. Travis also edit some part of the footage." Sagot nito sa kanya.

Kung sa tingin niya noon, she's the most badass among the others. Binabawi na niya ngayon 'to. Levi usually commanded them. Silang dalawa ni Ryker ang palaging nasa labas. Sean and Travis ang taga kolekta nila ng karagdagan na information, ngayon lang niya nalaman na ang karagdagan na 'yon ay gawa gawa lamang ng mga ito. But at least, those little things they've done, nakatulong 'yon sa kanila ng malaki.

[Hey hun?]

"Zion, it's done."

[Si uncle na ang bahala na magpatahimik sa maiingay na galamay nila.] He answered. [Gusto mo na bang lumabas? Ready na ang baril na pinagawa natin.]

Napangisi siya sa idinagdag nito. During their date, hindi natuloy ang pagpunta nila dahil mas inuna nila ang pagkain. Ryker just called him and told the owner the design that they like. It was actually a normal pistol. Pinalagyan lang nila ng Mr. and Mrs. Ramirez. Hindi na sila nag-inarte dahil binawi na ni Nyker ang black card nito.

"Cool! Pick them up?" Excited na tanong niya.

[Hindi ka sasama?] He asked, tempting her.

Cj smiled and bit the tip of her nail. "No. Ikaw nalang pagtapos ay dumeretso ka na rito."

[Can I eat you?]

Namula ang buong mukha ni Cj nang humarap ang tatlong lalaki na kasama niya sa kanya. She forgot, hindi pa pala na turned off ni Sean CCTV ni Ryker at ang audio transmitter nito.

"Tell him to fuck off!

"We're working here!"

"Hindi niya kailangan maninggit!"

Sabay sabay nilang sigaw. Imposible na hindi 'yon marinig ni Ryker. Pinatay niya ang tawag at nag chat nalang sa kapareha.

Cj: Sure, but just to make sure. Buy some condoms, hun. Hindi ako naniniwala na kakainin mo lang ako :)

Ryker: Copy.

Napangisi siya sa reply nito. No question asked. He never requested to do it raw. He always do whatever she asked. What a gentle dog Ryker is.

"Let's enjoy the show." Levi smirked and laid comfortably in his swivel chair.

Umayos siya ng upo, itinaas ang isang paa habang tutok ang mga mata sa screen. Kasama na ngayon ni Mr. Jocson ang mga tauhan ni Levi, he was smiling from ear to ear as he glanced over the attache cases they're holding.

Tumigil na si Sean at Travis sa pagtitipa ng mga ito sa kanya kanyang laptop ng mga ito. Dumikit sa kanya si Travis at inalok siya ng chichirya na hawak nito, hindi niya alam kung saan nakuha ni Travis 'yon. Inirapan lang niya ito pero kumuha pa rin naman. In order to enjoy the show, they need a snack.

"Nice! How's business?" Asked by Mr. Jocson.

"Smooth transaction, Sir. No one noticed us, not even Mr. Ramirez." Ani ng isa sa mga tauhan ni Levi na agad ikinatawa ni Mr. Jocson.

Lumabi siya at tinapik ang balikat ni Levi, he hired a good actors.

"Money! A lot of easy money! Put them inside my car! My ladies are waiting for me. I have a hard time collecting them." He sighed and shake his head.

"No can do, Sir."

Tumaas ang kilay ni Mr. Jocson sa lalaking nagsalita.

"Exciting part!" Travis exclaimed and shake her body. Agad niyang tinapos ang kamay nito at sinamaan si Travis ng tingin. "Kj!" He uttered.

Inilapag ng mga lalaki ang attache cases sa lapag at sabay sabay 'yon na binuksan. Kumunot ang noo ni Cj nang yumuko si Mr. Jocson para makisilip sa laman ng mga attache cases, while the three idiots, on the other hand, laughed their asses off.

Hindi makapaniwalang tumawa si Cj nang bumunot ng baril ang isa sa mga tauhan ni Levi at tinutok 'yon sa ulo ni Mr. Jocson. It was so fucking smooth and if only she can hit replay, gagawin niya!

"Drop the gun." Nakangising utos ni Mr. Jocson pero hindi sumunod ang lalaki sa kanya. Maybe, he's still thinking that those men were still his subordinates.

"We have a gift for you, Sir." Ani ng isa.

Posas ang laman ng unang attache case. The second one was a paper, more like warrant of arrest. The last attache case was a Taser. An electroshock weapon used to incapacitate people. Bakas ang gulat sa mukha ni Mr. Jocson, hindi inaasahan na 'yon ang laman ng mga attache case na dala ng mga 'tauhan' niya.

"Sorry, Sir. No young ladies for you tonight." Malamig na sabi nito at dinampot ang Taser.

Kinalabit ng lalaki ang gatilyo at lumabas ang dalawang probes, aiming Mr. Jocson's neck. In a blinked of an eye, Mr. Jocson dropped on his knees and unconscious.

"Sir? He's now sleeping." Anito.

"Bring him to Uncle's prison cell. Pupunta nalang kami doon." Utos ni Levi sa mga ito at agad naman silang sumunod.

One of Levi's men used Mr. Jocson's car and the rest used a personalized van, dala dala ng mga ito si Mr. Jocson na walang malay. She clicked her tongue and a triumphant smiled formed into their lips.

"One down!" They exclaimed and bump their fist.

Ryker's family connection was no joke. One can manipulate the outcome and one can manipulate the law here in their country. In a good ways.

Now, they only have one problem. Pearl's father. Mr. Jocson will surely rot behind the cold bars, hinding hindi na ito makakawala dahil inasikaso na ni Levi ajg mga connection nito sa loob at labas ng kulungan. Ang kailangan nalang nilang gawin ngayon ay ang maghintay na masentensyahan ito, that way, they can do whatever they like. Killing him was not an option.

"Make sure they're all safe. Bring them back to their families, kung wala nang mauuwian ang iba bring them to Mr. Martin's orphanage." Narinig niyang utos ni Levi.

Kade and Shen build a orphanage for homeless kids and a nursing home for Juvenile Huntington's patients.  Ryker's friends were all rich, every month silang nagbibigay ng malaking halaga. And then, the money from their Cafe, dumederetso din 'yon sa School na pinatayo ni Kyst at Angelyn.

"Lumabas ka na! 'Yung tarantado mong fiance, nasa kwarto niyo na." Levi flatly said and looked at her.

She showed him her middle finger and stood up. Hindi niya pinansin ang panunukso ng mga ito at patakbo na lumipat sa kwarto na inookupa nilang dalawa ni Ryker.

Nang mabuksan niya ang pintuan, napasinghap siya nang agad na pumalupot ang braso ni Ryker sa baywang niya. He's smirking smugly at her as he softly pressed his lips against her forehead.

"Will you marry me?" Ryker earnestly whispered.

"Can you ask me again after we kill that man?" Sagot niya at pinatakan ng halik ang mga labi nito.

Napalunok siya nang mas hapitin siya nito. "Is that a yes?" He asked playfully.

His hands slipped inside her shirt, gumagapang ito paakyat sa mga dibdib niya.

"Zion, kailan ka pa naging bobo?" Tanong niya na ikinatawa lang nito.

Ryker brushed his lips against her. "I'll ask you again. Will you fucking marry me? I promise, I will fuck you hard if you say 'yes'?"

Natawa siya sa klase ng proposal nito. "Ano, tite mo ba ang magsusuot ng singsing?"

"Hmm, for protection." He answered. "So?" He trailed off. Tinatakam na siya ngayon sa mga halik nito.

"Do you have a ring?" She asked.

"Of course," tsaka niya lang naramdaman ang malamig na bagay sa daliri niya. A ring. "Aside from that, I also have the gun."

Cj naughtily smiled and cupped his manhood. "Ito ba?"

Ryker chuckled was deep, it fucking sends her a million butterflies in her stomach!

"Hun, alam kong sabik ka sa baril ko. But, this is what I meant..." He showed her the personalized pistol they ordered. "Now, which gun do you like to try first? My gun or this gun?"

"Zion, hindi ka na dapat nagtatanong. I'll choose your gun."

"Good answer. I want to plunge my gun inside you."
