Plans

Tinignan ko ang mukha ni Lucas na galit na galit

"Dada!" tinignan ni Lucas ang dalawa at biglang nagbago ang awra ng mukha niya tsaka nilapitan ang mga ito

"Dada will play with you later, okay?"

"Hmmm!" tumango tango pa ang dalawa sa kanya tsaka siya tumayo para harapin ulit ako

"Uhm.. Doon na muna kami ng mga bata sa playroom" Kinuha ni Erina ang mga bata sa sala tsaka dinala sa playroom

"Y-you heard everything?"

"From the very start, Alessia"

"I want to know.... What is it that I saw on your room? She's on top of you and both of you are kissing, Lucas"

"I thought it was you! That's why I said that I missed you. You know how much I missed being with you when I'm at work, right? I did not open my eyes with the thought that it was just you. You're the only one who can enter my office freely. When I opened my eyes, no one's there so then I thought it was just a dream"

"That's bullshit Lucas!"

"Call it bullshit and anything you want, baby. But, that's the truth. Do you really think that I can cheat on you? You're my wife and I love you so much, Alessia!"
My tears are starting to fall from my eyes while looking at him. He walked closer to me and hugged me tightly

"I'm such an asshole, right? A fucking dumb... letting someone kissed me with the thought that it was my wife. Tsk.. No wonder it tastes bad. Damn! My reason was so lame but that's the truth Alessia. Why didn't you enter the room? Ipapamigay mo na lang ako? If you just stayed there, maybe I've been able to protect you"

"I'm scared that you might choose her in front of me and I badly wanted to breathe because I'm too suffocated from everything"

"Then that's what happened to you... Fuck! The fact that you're already pregnant that time, it makes me mad so much!" I nodded my head and he tightened his hug to me

"My baby... You've been through a lot. They hurt you and our twins! I-I'm sorry... I couldn't protect you from her"

"Lucas... it's not you who did that. Why are you saying sorry?" medyo humiwalay ako sakanya para tignan siya sa mukha and I saw his bloodshot eyes

"It's because of me. She's my ex fiancé...."

"Do you really have a plan of using me?"
bahagya siyang ngumiti

"When we've met each other at the bar, that's the first time I get out with my friends after five months. She cheated on me because I'm not satisfying her, that's what she said and it hurts my ego... My parents knew about me being engaged but they don't know who the girl was. It's just my friends who knew about her. Our relationship is private even when we're engaged already because she said her career would be affected. I was fine with it but then I caught him having sex with his co-model at her room. I busied myself from work and I didn't think that Mama would really push the organizing thing for my wedding. That night on the bar was Griffin's late birthday celebration. I already saw you even before you saw me inside the restroom" I looked at him in disbelief and questioning look. Hinila niya ako paupo sa sofa at magkaharap kami ngayon

"I saw you dancing with your friends and you already caught my attention since then. Seeing you playfully dancing with your friends made me so horny then I saw your face, your bright smiles and the way your eyes smiles, that gave me more hard on and I don't know why! I grabbed someone so I can I release it and of course I don't wanna hit you up... And then the door opened showing you with your shocked face.... You never failed to amaze me. Minutes after I get out from the restroom I saw you going to the second floor kaya inantay kita na makalabas and then there, our second encounter that night" I chuckled when I remembered what happened that night

"Asher saw what you did to me and surprisingly they know you. I asked them things about you but they won't tell me a thing. They just told me your full name. I never thought of my ex when I decided to call you Alessia. I don't know but that name suits you way much better. After some months, our paths crossed again when you painted my car. I'm mad to be honest but when Griffin showed me a video of you painting on my car, I don't know why I just laughed and think that it's fine even how many cars of mine you would paint on as long as it's you"

"How did Griffin take a video of me doing that?"

"He's waiting for me at his own car on the same parking floor" My jaw dropped but later on nodded my head

"From then, it excites me to meet you again. My actual plan was to make you my wife because my parents wanted me to settle down early and they already planned everything on the supposed wedding plus I don't want them to be disappointed. I attended an event on the Hotel you are working on and decided to follow you, I have a plan to bring you home with me and I never regret that dahil yun na rin ang umpisa ng pagkakalapit natin. I tried hard not to show you how happy I am that I have a reason to be with you... I know being married at that age is not what you wanted and so am I. but I no longer see that wedding as my supposed to be wedding to my cheater ex fiancé but my wedding to the woman I truly adore because while I am with you I am falling way much deeper to you, Alessia. You just don't see and feel it but I loved you first, baby... That's also the reason why I pushed our wedding and made sure that our marriage would be truly registered" I'm just looking at him with a shocked reaction showing clearly on my face

"So, please.... Don't think that you're just a substitute to her because you're far from her and you have more advantage than her because you're the Alessia that I love and want for my whole life, not her. Believe it when I say that it's only you and I won't ever cheat on you... I'm sorry for that day. I don't have a plan to let go of the woman who made my life go crazy because of her craziness and you give me so much happiness, Alessia. I'm contented with you" Nakatingin lang ako kay Lucas at siya na ang nagpunas ng mga luha ko.

"Do you believe me now? Hmm?" tumango tango ako sa kanya

"I have something to tell you too" nakatuon lang ang pansin sa akin ni Lucas at inaantay na magsalita ako

"We actually used you... I mean, it's my plan to use you to catch her" his jaw dropped and after some seconds his eyebrows arched. Is he mad?

"Explain and elaborate, baby. I'm not mad" I sighed and smile at him

"Paanong nangyari na nandoon kayo" tanong ko sa dalawa

"Atlas and I are on our way to his private resort dahil nandon ang private jet ko and we're in a hurry to attend a business deal here in Switzerland but then we saw from afar that you were being tailed. We don't know that it was you at first actually"

"I saw the tricks you did to confirm that you were being tailed kaya hinanda rin namin ang mga sarili namin para tulungan ka. Luckily, we have our guns with us kaya napaulanan namin ng bala ang ilang sumusunod sayo nang magsimulang barilin ka but then those fuckers on a motorcycle reached you" nakatingin lang ako kay Atlas habang nagsasalita. They helped me from the very start!

"My cousin taught me the tricks. I just didn't expected them to shoot on me"

"Coen really made sure to teach you everything huh" Kree said as he drinks on his glass

"Well, not really everything. But, you know kuya?" taka ko silang tinignan

"We worked with him when we're still navy seals" They what?!

"You're both navy seals?"

"Ex-navy seals now. Asher as well"

"What happened? Why I didn't know you before?"

"Your one heck of a cousin is very protective, Klerah. He doesn't want us get close to you and any of your girl cousin" For real?

"Wow? Kuya did that?"

"Yup. Our other friends know you as well since Coen sometimes would talk about training you and your other cousins" tumango tango na lang ako tsaka nagpatuloy kumain

They know that I am pregnant because they said they had me checked up while I was sleeping and they take care of everything already para walang makaalam na nandito ako.

I get my phone from my bag then I let them see the photo and the texts she sent to me.

"She's threatening you already and you don't tell anything to Lucas?!" I shrugged my shoulders to Atlas

"Uhm... Yeah, I didn't expect her to be that crazy"

"Do you have a plan Klerah?" Hmmm... they can help me. Tumango ako sa tanong niya

"Yes... But we need people from the Philippines"

"Asher, Griffin and Maddox can help us. How many do you need?"

"They're fine. Do they know how to do hand to hand combat and use guns?"

"Asher is an expert in that field. Griffin and Maddox can do Krav Maga and other martial arts and they know how to use guns as well"

"How about Lucas?"

"Lucas can do everything, that man knows how to use his time. Your husband is a skilled fighter Klerah"

"Good to know. How about you two?" Oops wrong choice of question

"Woah Klerah! Are you insulting us?" Gulat na tanong ni Kree

"Sorry, I forgot that both of you were navy seals before. But I really want to know why you're not navy seals now?"

"Well, girls happened" Atlas said as he shrugged his shoulder at me tsaka napailing iling at bahagyang natawa. Girls? Wow! They must love them so much to the point that they let go their job for them.

"I'm curious who they are"

"Tsk. You know them but let's not talk about it" Kree said

"Who are those girls?"

"Klerah! Not now"

"Tsk. Ang susungit niyo naman"

"So why'd you asked if we can fight?"

"Well, just making sure that everyone can fight for themselves since we don't know what are her plans and what she can do"

"What plan should I say to the idiots?" Atlas asked as he holds his phone

"I want my family to be secured without their knowing. Lucas' family has their own securities but let them know to double the security, triple if they need to

"Okay. I'll tell my twin to contact someone for that" tumango ako kay Atlas

"Do you have any idea where is the desperate frog right now?"

"I checked that a while ago and she's back to New York. She has a five months contract there for her modeling" My brows arched up with what Kree said

"Hmm... Five months huh. For sure she'll get back immediately to Lucas once her contract is done. Hindi pa naman nangangalawang mga fighting skills niyo?"

"Are you really insulting us Klerah?" I laughed with what Kree said and their shocked reaction.

"I'm just making sure. Anyway, I want Griffin to start this plan. Tell him to get closer to Alecia once she's back. I can sense that she'll brag that Lucas will come back to her because I'm already gone. Griffin needs to wait for her to say things like that before we proceed to the next step"

"What's the next step? And... What if she won't say things like that?"

"Tsk. Sa bunganga ng babaeng 'yon? It's impossible for her not to brag her getting back together relationship with Lucas. If she won't, then Griffin will use his so-called hidden talent which is acting. He'll provoke her and after that he'll go to Lucas to inform him about her and propose the plan together with Asher and Maddox"

"That idiot will enjoy this. He looks like a genius who observed everything on his own" natawa ako sa sinabi ni Atlas na napahilot pa sa sentido niya

"So...? Don't tell me we're going to use Lucas on this one?" Nagaalinlangang tanong ni Kree

"Oh, I'll tell you. Yes we are"

"You mad at him? You sure you're going to use your husband?"

"I saw them kissing on his office's room. And h-he said... He m-missed her" naramdman ko ang pangingilid ng luha sa mga mata ko pero pinigilan ko ang sarili na umiyak. Not now Klerah

"Fuck! No way. We know how head over heels he is to you" kumuyom ang mga kamao ni Kree tsaka napatingin kay Atlas

"That's true Klers. That man is so whipped. How could that happen?" nagkibit balikat ako sa kanila tsaka panandaliang inilayo ang tingin

"Can someone check the footages on his company, secretly?"

"I'll call Asher. Excuse me" tumayo si Atlas para makipag usap sa kakambal niya

"They already know what happened to you yesterday. An investigator friend of us is currently speaking to Asher when they identified you as the owner of the car. Asher go there as soon as possible to confirmed it then Asher informed Lucas about it"

"We also got an update this morning that Lucas came back to the location with some copies of CCTV footages at your house"

"Maybe my fuming mad reaction when I received those messages"

"Do you really think... Lucas can cheat on you?" masuyong tanong sa akin ni Kree

"I don't want to think that he can. I want to listen to him, that's my plan. I just want to get away for a while, while I am fixing my own mind. I need to open my mind to hear him out that's why I'm on my way to our private island"

"Damn... I'm gonna break my friendship to him if he really cheat on you" I looked at Kree with a total disbelief and I was about to talk when I saw Atlas' walking towards us with a crumpled face.

"The footages had intervals. She probably asked someone to delete footages that she was seen to Lucas' company. Even you going there was no record. Damn that bitch!" wow...? Should I give her a round of applause? She's totally using her people huh

"It's fine. We can still get answers and evidences from her. So, I want Lucas to get closer to her again and make her believe that he still has feelings for her"

"Are you really sure about that? Klerah, the three idiots might get hit by Lucas once they suggest that" natatawang tanong ni Atlas

"Tell them to use their skills to protect themselves then. And, I'll definitely do the same to Lucas for them once I get back"

"Tsk... I didn't know you'd be that strong and brave. Nakahanap talaga ng katapat si Lucas" I just rolled my eyes to Kree

"Going back, Lucas needs to get her trust and make her speak about what she did to me. By the way, can we install cameras with audio recording to his office? And please put credible men's to the CCTV room. She'll probably be there to his company and cling around to him"

"We can. It's much better, so we'll be prepared if she's planning crazy things again. Maddox can do that and hacked her phone too"

"I gotta ask him to teach me those. Kuya Coen skipped those things when he's teaching us. Anyway... tell Lucas to inform my family about the plan para walang maging problema. They would probably get mad at him if he didn't" Nakatingin lang silang dalawa sa akin habang nakikinig at tumatango tango lang. Medyo nahiya tuloy ako nang maalala ko na mga ex-navy seals 'tong inuutusan ko

"And uhm... They should tell Lucas about the plan on his office, so make sure that the cameras are already installed before that so we can watch from here"

"Alright, they can do those things and don't worry, we won't tell them that it's your plan and you're here with us"

"That's good. Please tell Griffin, Asher and Maddox to push Lucas to make this plan worked"

"That won't be easy but Griffin is good at convincing that idiot husband of yours"

"All of you loved calling each other idiot. Well, it's easy to get along to someone you are same with"

"Klerah!" I laughed at their crumpled faces

"By the way, what's the time frame? When should this end?"

"When we put her behind bars, that's when I'll be back. So, tell Lucas to don't waste time"

"Damn! I just hope that crazy Alecia is a real dumb and the motherfuckers are convincing liars"

"Agree bro" Atlas and Kree fist bump and looked at me

"Your husband, cousins and brother are on the location a while ago. Lucas added men's to look for you as well as your parents. We'll help you in anything Klerah, don't worry"

"Thank you so much for helping us... But, I still wanna know who the girls are?"

"It's your freaking cousins Klerah" binatukan naman ni Kree si Atlas nang sabihin niya

"Who? Ate Wella and Ate Prim? Oh my gosh? H-how?" I don't know pero parang kinikilig ako

"We met them at the bar when we were sent in the Philippines for a mission and there, we started dating your cousins after some months. Coen's actually against it but we're surprised he didn't do anything"

"So naging kayo ng mga pinsan ko? Wow! They really hide it well to us"

"Sigurista ang mga pinsan mo Klerah. They wanted to make sure that we are the perfect guy for them before they introduced us to their family" tumango tango ako sa kanila habang umiinom

"I think that's our nature already. So why it didn't worked out?... Oh wait! You're navy seals before, right? My cousins don't like that. Napag uusapan namin dati yung mga jobs na ayaw namin for our future partner kasi wala silang time for us"

"Tsk... You and your cousins are pretty much alike. Before, we can't imagine ourselves not working as navy seals but when they broke up with us. Damn! I regretted not choosing Prim" I looked at Atlas who's chuckling while shaking his head lightly

"I regretted not choosing Wella as well. When she broke up with me, that's when I thought I already had enough time working. Besides, both of our parents want us to stop too and just handle our family's businesses"

"What about Asher?"

"It's not our story to tell, Klers. Just ask him when he's around"

"Pero sinong pinsan ko ang sakanya?" they both laughed at me so I gave them a questioning look

"You wouldn't want to know"

"Tsk fine. Help me with this and I'll help you with my cousins when we get back. We need to get this done sooner"

"Deal!"

"Pussy whipped"

"Klerah!" I laughed hardly when their faces turned red

After months... Kree and Atlas informed me in everything happening back in the Philippines and about that Alecia Gomez. I just found out that she really does have lots of securities around. No wonder it's easy for her to do that to me.

Kree and Atlas helped me in my pregnancy as well as Erina whom I met while I was walking around the village. She's touring around and visited her grandmother who's living in the same village. Painting became my hobby while I was pregnant and it became my source of income as well. Nahihiya na kasi ako sakanila dahil sila ang nag fi-finance sa akin.

November 20. When I gave birth to my two angels, I found out that I'll be having twins nang magpapunta si Kree ng private doctor and nurse for me para ma check ang pregnancy ko. From then, naging mas maingat ako at mas lalo yung tatlo naging maingat din sa pag bibigay ng informations sa akin yung dalawa.

Two weeks before I gave birth, they informed me that Alecia's already back. Luckily and just what we expected, she really bragged to Griffin that Lucas will come back to her. Maddox had a chance to record everything and I can't help but to laugh when Griffin was ranting about not showing his acting skills dahil unang lapit pa lang niya kay Alecia ay yun na kaagad ang ibinungad.

The next day, we watched them tell the plan to Lucas and Kree and Atlas can't help but to throw lots of curses when we heard and watched what happened to them first before they tell the plan to Lucas. Lucas scowled at them at first but they managed to let him agree to the plan.

From here, I am watching every move he is making when he's with her and I could agree that he's really acting well. Pinatigil lang muna ako nila Atlas at Kree sa pag momonitor pagkatapos kong manganak but after two months, I get back from monitoring again

Months passed but we can't still get strong evidences that can push her to admit that it's her who planned everything. I am watching every footages even though I am seeing them kissing. Just what the fuck! I know Lucas is just doing it for the plans not to be ruined. I'm sorry, Lucas

I'm still thankful na hindi sila umaabot sa point na may mangyayari talaga sakanila dahil gumagawa ng paraan ang mga kaibigan niya para matigil sila. They would call him or minsan biglang susulpot and I could see him thanking them so much.

It's been a year and four months already and we decided na ngayon siya paaminin dahil kababalik niya lang from her three months stay in London para sa modeling niya. We're losing so much time. May pangako pa ako kanila Atlas at Kree.

Tutok na tutok kami ngayon sa monitor para panoorin at mapakinggan ng mabuti lahat lahat

"I'm really better than her, right?" She asked while sitting on his lap. Lucas' jaw clenched but he still managed to smile at her. They're at his office dahil nang istorbo nanaman ang palaka sakanya

"Yes, you're way much better to her" He said

"I knew it that you'll come back to me and you will leave her"

"Uh-huh, but I'm still wondering how everything happened" Alecia started kissing him at hindi ko naiwasang mag selos. Ugh!

"Oh, Lucas I won't let anyone have you if it's not me. Look, she's gone now and nowhere to be found" Lucas' brows furrowed real deep and his jaw clenched more as his hands are fisted.

"Is it you who did that to her?" She stopped and looked at him

"What if I am? She's just nobody, Lucas"

"T-tell me more, how did you plan and do everything?"

"Oh... I messaged her days before that to tell her that I'll have you back but she provoked me more so I asked my bodyguards to put a hit on her and they did. She's gone now and probably a decayed body na" biglang tumayo si Lucas kaya napatayo rin siya at tsaka hinawakan ng mahigpit ang braso niya. Kitang kita ko ang galit sa mga mata niya habang nakatingin sa naguguluhan na si Alecia

"You're crazy! How dare you -"

"Lucas!" It was Asher together with the cops with the warrant of arrest. Tama na ang mga oras na kasama niya si Lucas kahit pa hindi pa rin nasasagot kung bakit sila naghahalikan sa kwarto ng opisina niya dahil ni minsan hindi binanggit ni Alecia 'yon kay Lucas

"W-why there are cops here, Lucas?"

"It's because you're the one who planned to kill my wife!"

"I-I thought I'm way more b-better than her?"

"Do you really think that I'll get back to you after what you did to me?!"

"N-no! No! No! Lucas you're not doing this to me!" Lucas motioned the cops to get her away from his sight. Sinubukan niyang pumalag but the police showed her the warrant of arrest and handcuffed her.

Nakasunod lang sila Lucas at mga kaibigan niya palabas ng company niya kasama ang mga pulis pero nang isasakay na sana si Alecia ay biglang may nagpaputok ng baril.

Atlas and Kree automatically called their people to find out where that came from and secure everyone. It made me worried that someone might get hurt pero hindi ko pa rin maialis ang tingin sa monitor na kuha ng CCTV sa labas ng company. Medyo nakahinga lang ako ng maluwag nang maalala na nagsiuwian na ang karamihan sa employees ni Lucas

Fuck! That must be one of her security guards. Lucas and his friends prepared themselves and the cops immediately secured Alecia. Group of armored men's are approaching them but Asher saw it beforehand and I was shocked that all of them are carrying a gun. They fight those men's who's trying to get Alecia away but they failed dahil dumating din ang backed up na naka stand by

Lucas is really good at fighting, huh? May naka hand to hand combat pa sila nang maubusan ng bala. Sinama rin nila paalis ang mga sumugod sa kanila at napahinga ako ng maluwag nang makita na wala naming sobrang nasaktan sa kanila. Lucas, Maddox, Asher and Griffin used their own cars following the cops.

Kree informed me na pumunta ang tatay ni Alecia sa presinto at galit na galit but when he knew about what his daughter did hindi na rin daw nagsalita. I'm shocked that he's not like other powerful father na gagawa ng paraan para mailabas ang anak at hindi makulong. Alecia's father is known as a big investor and owner of a known company kaya naman malaking kahihiyan ang issue na ganito para sa kanila.

And after that, hindi pa muna ako kaagad bumalik dahil pinapakiramdaman na muna namin kung may biglang mangyayari. Sila Kree at Atlas naman ay bumabalik balik sa Pilipinas para hindi makahalata si Lucas. The three actually knew that I am here dahil bigla kong tinawag si Atlas one time at hindi ko alam na magka video call pala sila. Then, I used that na rin to tell them the plans personally.
I looked at Lucas na gulat na nakatingin sa akin

"W-wow... You planned everything? Alessia... I really promise you, I won't do stupid things to you" I let out a loud bark of laughter while unbelievably looking at him

"You scared?"

"Nah, I'm not... you're still my baby" He said at inilapit ang sarili sa akin para halikan ako.

"Are we... good now? You're not mad at me? Do you believe me now, hmm?"

"Yes. She just made everything complicated"

"I'll protect you and our twins from now on. I won't let anyone hurt my family" He started kissing me again at bigla kong inilayo ang sarili

"The twins are waiting for you to play with them and Erin needs to go home. Come on"

Pinuntahan namin ang mga bata sa play room at nagpaalam na in si Erina pero tinukso tukso pa muna ako bago umalis nang maihatid ko siya sa may pintuan.

Pag balik ko sa playroom ay nakita ko ang dalawa na naka sakay sa likod ni Lucas na nakahiga sa carpeted floor
