CHAPTER TWENTY THREE - The Gangpae

CHAPTER 23

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" Pasigaw na sabi ni Yvo na nuoy nasa puno ng hagdan at mabilis na bumaba at kinuha si Alexa kay Benedict.

Bakas sa mukha ng binata ang galit "What the fuck Benedict!" sabay tulak dito ng malakas.

Takot na tumago si Alexa sa likod ni Yvo.

Benedict smile slyly at saka tawa nito ng nakakaloko.

Naikuyom ni Yvo ang mga kamao.

"Why are you over reacting my brother. I did not even hurt her... Yet" Benedict expression is dark.

Yvo grabbed Benedict collar "I warned you before, Don't even laid your fingers on her, or I'll definitely kill you!" He said giving a deathly glare to Benedict. If looks can kill, Benedict will be no longer in site.

Benedict smirk. "Don't provoke me" he whispered.

Yvo was slightly taken aback, he knows what Benedict is capable right now in his current situation.

Yvo clenched his jaw and let go of Benedict, he takes a step back and holds Alexa's wrist.

Benedict stares at them for a moment and then began getting his things from the floor.

Theres a huge tension in the air.

Benedict slowly walks to the door and stop abruptly and look back at Yvo "Xien Pereira" seryosong sabi nito "He's your friend, right?"

Alexa feels Yvo's hold on her wrist tigthens.

"Watch Out" huling bigkas ni Benedict at padabog na binuksan ang pinto at tuluyan nang umalis ng bahay.

Nang mawala na sa paningin ni Yvo si Benedict ay agad nitong nilingon si Alexa. "Are you okay?" nag-aalalang tanong niya sa dalaga.

Umiling si Alexa "I was so scared" bulaslas niya "What happened to him?" still in shocked na sabi nito.

Hindi sumagot si Yvo bagkus ay niyakap na lang ang dalaga. Medyo nagulat pa si Alexa sa ginawa nito.

Katahimikan ang namutawi sa paligid.

Maya-maya ay nagsalita si Yvo at tiningnan si Alexa. "You want to go to your friend's house?"

Alexa about to shake her head but Yvo cut her off. "Yes, you do" pilit na sabi niya kay Alexa.

Yvo heads outside "I'll drop you off now, please get ready" at lumabas na ito ng pintuan.

Naguluhan naman dito si Alexa. She just woke up like 20 minutes ago and its like a whirlwind of happenings right now.

Nagmamadali siyang umakyat. She'll just go to Justine's Condo.

"I'll pick you up later." Sabi ni Yvo pagkahatid kay Alexa sa tapat ng Condo ng kaibigan nito.

Nag-aalangan namang tumango si Alexa at sinundan na lang ng tingin ang kotseng papalayo.

"Xien, we need to talk" ani Yvo sa kaibigan na nasa kabilang linya. 

"See me at the Headquarters. ASAP" dagdag ni Yvo at putol na ng linya.

Madaming gumugulo sa isipan ni Yvo at nang maalala niya ang nangyari kanina ay himigpit ang hawak niya sa manubela.

'I won't let him lay a finger on Alexa again' Anang isip ni Yvo.
