AEIRYN

WALKING down the path walk of his very own empire gave me stunning power. Every employee automatically turned their gazes towards me. I know how beautiful I am more than these innocent beings.

"What do you want to know about this empire, babe?" he asked in a very low tone.

He was with me but I could feel his intimidating power towards his employees. Ryl Lorenzo Lawson's power was not a joke.

"Anything," I replied as I clung my arm around his arm.

"Be prepared, babe. You are going to meet various intimidating and manipulative people. Makakasalamuha mo rin ang mga babaeng humihiling na sana sila ang nasa posisyon mo ngayon," he said with the intent to brag.

If I were the impulsive Aeiryn Lez like before, I could have had cracked his neck in a blink of an eye for bragging in front of me.

Naglakad lang kami hanggang sa sapitin na namin ang isang malaking conference room. Maraming tao at mukhang naabisuhan sila sa pagdating namin.

"Be alert, babe. One of them must be the one who wants to get me killed," he whispered that made me smirked.

"Ryl, it's a basic knowledge to know that one of them is the one behind your threats. Don't worry, they won't harm you as long as I am around. Before they could even pull the trigger, they are already dead," I whispered back to him.

As we entered the room, we already caught their attention. Ang daming mapanghusga nang makita nilang naka-angkla ako sa braso ni Ryl but I didn't care. Shall I gouge their eyeballs out?

"Good afternoon, everyone," bati ni Ryl sa kanila at tumayo naman ang mga ito at yumuko sandali, saka bumati pabalik bago muling nagsiupo.

"So what is this meeting all about, Mr. Lawson?" said the woman with red lipstick. Walang kaaya-aya sa kaniya.

She looks dumb. She looks like someone who loves to spit nonsense but actually a bobo. Yeah, she emits that kind of vibes. She's neither a threat nor an enemy. Wala lang, nag-exist lang siya para maging bobo.

"Ms. Landicho, if you don't wanna be here, you can leave, Mr. Lawson doesn't need you anyway," said the guy in nerdy glasses who looked like Superman but without Lois Lane. Yeah, like my split ends, he was also dry.

"Enough of the commotion, Ms. Landicho and Mr. San Pablo. I asked for this meeting to formally introduce you my wife. As you all know, she spent almost all of her life in the US at doon din naman kami nagpakasal. Marami ang nagtatanong at naghahanap sa kaniya, so here she is, my wife, Aeiryn Lez Lawson," pakilala niya sa akin.

Kumalas ako mula sa pagkaka-angkla sa braso niya at naglakad patungo sa gitna. I walked with elegance and sophistication. I wanted them to feel that they would never rose above me. I was at the top. I always do.

"So you are the wife—"

"I never asked you to talk," I said cutting off that pabibong Ms. Landicho. "If you guys think that you can pull some strings through me so you can pinpoint Ryl's weakness,well you guys better think twice. I don't care who you are and I don't care what you are capable of doing. I don't know you guys, and you don't know me as well. Let's all act civil. Lastly, I am not friendly," I continued and I gave them a wink as I walked back towards Ryl.

"You heard her loud and clear? Now, let this meeting be adjourned. See you with your reports tomorrow," he instructed as he grabbed my waist and we walked out of the conference room together. "You're so intimidating, babe," he whispered to my ears.

"You know how intimidating I am, Mr. Lawson. Let me make you remember that tonight," I whispered back and I heard him laughed.

KUYA Aeignn's frown welcomed us as we both entered Phyrric. I could feel it that he didn't like Ryl—thoug they never liked any man I ever introduced to them. When I say them, all the seven grenades; kuya Ayler, kuya Ayce, kuya Axel, kuya Leik, kuya Laeven, kuya Aeignn, and Aeidan.

"Your brother seems to despise me a lot, Lez," Ryl whispered that made me smile.

"He never liked any man I introduced him in the past," I replied.

****

"What do you want for lunch, Aeiryn?" asked PJ also known as Paul Jassen, my suitor.

"Anything. Just don't order anything that has nuts in it. Thank you," I replied and he smiled at me.

PJ was the gentlest guy I had ever met. He never asked me for anything I couldn't give. Mag-iisang taon na rin siyang nanliligaw sa akin. I was seventeen, and I was thinking of making him wait until I turn eighteen. That was two months from now.

"Aeiryn Lez," said a voice and as I turned my head, I saw kuya Aeignn with his brows furrowed.

"What?" I said irritatedly. He was wearing his school uniform but his necktie was loosen. Mukhang kagagaling lang niya sa basag-ulo.

"Where's your fucking suitor? I will fucking kill him," he said in very terrifying voice.

I gave him a suspicious look before I talked. "What the hell are you saying? And what did he do?"

Bigla niyang sinipa ang basurahan na nasa tabi ko at sinuntok pa niya ang pader na ikinagulat ko. "He didn't do anything, Aeiryn Lez. I just want to fucking kill him," he replied in a very cold tone, but . . . I knew my brother. Something was definitely going on.

"AEIRYN! NASAAN ANG TARANTADONG PAUL JASSEN NA 'YON!?" Kapwa kami napalingon ni kuya Aeignn sa boses na iyon at nalingunan namin si kuya Laeven na naka-college uniform din. Nakataas hanggang siko ang uniporme niya. He was fuming mad!

"Bakit ba hinahanap n'yo siya? Ano bang meron!? Bakit hindi n'yo sabihin sa akin?!"

Nakarinig ako ng pagkasa ng baril at paglingon ko ay nakita ko si kuya Leik na mukhang kakagaling pa sa shoot. "No one ever messes with a Freezell, most especially sa nag-iisang babae sa atin. Nasaan ang gagong Paul Jassen na iyon? Lalagyan ko lang ng butas sa ulo," ani kuya Leik at kitang-kita ko ang nagbabagang galit sa mga mata niya.

"Are we having a reunion here? Can you guys calm down? Ano bang meron!? Ano bang problema—"

"Kuya Ayce tracked the IP address and it belongs to your fucking suitor! He edited a video of a girl—with your face, having sex with him and uploaded it on a porn site! Now tell us to fucking calm down 'cause we won't, not unless we fucking kill that motherfucker with our own hands!" galit na putol sa akin ni kuya Aeignn.

I was shocked with what I heard. I never expected PJ would do such thing.

Hindi ako makakapagdahilan. Hindi ako makakapalag. It was kuya Ayce who traced everything. Malabo pa sa puting uwak na magkakamali siya. With or without explanation, I knew that PJ was guilty.

****

"My kuya's could kill for me, Ryl. Mag-iingat ka," pang-aasar ko sa kaniya, saka ko siya hinatak patungo sa firing room.

Yeah, I brought him here just so I could teach him some moves. Ito lang kasi ang lugar na naiisip ko para sa gusto niya.

As we entered the room, agad kong inilabas ang baril na nasa likod ko. Kinasa ko iyon at saka ko biglang itinutok sa sintido niya na gumulat sa kaniya.

"Rule number one, anyone who has a gun is your enemy," wika ko saka ko tuluyang idinikit ang nguso ng baril sa mismong sintido niya. "A gun has no master to obey, but the first one who pulls the trigger will win the fight."

Nang tila makabawi na siya sa ginawa ko ay nakita ko siyang tumawa kaya't ibinaba ko na ang baril. I was really thinking kung may sira ba ang ulo niya. He was never intimidated by me in any way.

"Rule number two, always be the first one to make a move. Don't wait to be killed—what the actual fuck?!" Bigla na lamang niya akong hinapit sa baywang at inilapit niya ang katawan ko sa katawan niya.

I was caught off guard. I didn't know that he would do such thing! Gosh.

He stared at my eyes and I fought his stares. He could caught me off guard but he will never succeed all throughout. "So I need to make the first move, right? Do you mean like this?" he asked with an intent to tease.

"Ryl, the performance I gave you the last time was only at level one," I said as I clung my arms around his neck. "And teasing me like this won't stop me from giving you level two, three, four, and five tonight, Ryl. I will show you how being dominant is. I will show you how cruel sex can be," I continued that left an amusing reaction on his face.

Ibinaba ko ang mga labi ko sa leeg niya at marahang hinagod iyon ng dila ko. Damn! I can't control myself whenever I am tempted by him. I want to fuck whenever we are both alone. He's like a trigger to me. Gosh!

Mas hinapit pa niya ako palapit at naramdaman ko ang pagbunggo ng matigas na bagay sa puson ko. Naramdaman ko ang mainit niyang hininga sa tainga ko at doon na nga siya bumulong. "Feel that, babe? You always make him excited. He's always ready for you. He wants to feel you again and again," patuloy niyang pang-aakit sa akin.

Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko, I bit his neck sweetly. "I want to taste you now, Ryl. You're making me wet, so . . . fucking wet," I whispered while giving wet bites to his neck.

"Shall we go home now, babe? I want to be handcuffed at the headboard of my bed while looking at your nakedness. I want to see your dominant side and I want to see the different levels of your performance," he whispered teasingly.

I pulled off and looked at his eyes intently. I wanted to grab his fucking collar and give him aggressive kisses right now. He was making me insane for fuck's sake!

"Ryl, I want to sit on your lips right now. I want to crash you underneath my womanhood. I want you to fuck me using your tongue and I want you to—"

"AEIRYN LEZ FREEZELL–RICAFORT. UMUWI KA SA BAHAY. NGAYON DIN!"

"D–Dad. . . ."

Fuck it!
