Taming My Arrogant Husband
Chapter 65: Escape plan

"Thank you so much, Nanay Emily. I will call you later, I have to go." I said kissing her cheek. "Okay, take care of yourself, Sophia."

"I will, Nanay. Anyway, can you thanks Tatay Berto for me? I really appreciate your help."

"Don't worry, I will let him know." She patted my hand and looked at the both end of the aisle, and when she noticed that Ben wasn't there, she immediately urged me to leave. "Go, Sophia, before he arrives or someone sees you."

"What about you? What if they noticed that I was missing?"

"Don't worry about us, we will just make any excuses for them."

I smiled and hugged her tightly before I deciding run into the back entrance of the supermarket, where Damian and Bryan were waiting for me.

Flashback...

"Jesus Christ, are you sure of this, Sophia?"

Nanay Emily's eyes turned wide when I told them my plan. She was surprised by the ridiculous idea, but Tatay Berto just gave me a smile and a double thumbs up.

"Yes! I have no other choice, Nanay. This is the only idea I have in mind to escape."

She stared at me for a few seconds and I screamed when she finally nodded.

"Thank you so much, Nanay Emily. This means a lot to me." I said hugging her tightly.

"But promise me, you would take care of yourself, Sophia."

"I will, Nanay Emily, I promise." I even raised my right hand as a sign of promise.

"Fine, I will just take my bag."

"Thank you. Thank you so much!"

I uttered a silent prayer when they took their steps towards the front door. The plan is that I will hide in the trunk of the car and go out only when they have reached the parking lot of the supermarket.

But of course, I need the help of the two oldies to carry out this plan. Nanay Emily will talk to Ben, who will be her driver, while Tatay Berto will talk to the other guards to lure them. And I will use the backdoor to reach the garage and hide in the car's trunk.

A few moments later...

My heart was hammering inside ribcage as I watched Tatay Berto walking towards the guards' cabin. But I bit my lower lip when Nanay Emily played the best actress in the famas when she purposely tripped her foot, stumbled and fell to the ground.

Her plan succeeded when Ben and two other guards rushed towards her and helped her to stand. It was then that I immediately ran to the car. But for my not so lucky moment of the day, Bingo, the hardener saw me when I was about to close the trunk.

"Ma'am Sophia, what are you doing?"

-'What the fuck?'- I couldn't help but utter a silent curse when I saw him walking in my direction.

"Shhh! Please be quiet!" I whispered as I placed my index finger on my lips.

"What are you going to do? Are you planning to escape?"

I balled my fists as I narrowed my eyes on him.

"Do you want to know what I am planning to do? I will fucking kill you if they replace out my plan!" I gritted my teeth and he rapidly blinked his eyes in shock.

If we were just in a different situation, I'm sure I already found myself rolling on the floor, clutching my stomach while laughing at his horrified face, but no, we were in a situation where I had to hide in a freaking trunk just to escape from Daniel's security team.

"Bingo, what are you doing there?"

-'Fuck!'-

My eyes widened and gulped nervously as we both heard Ben's voice.

But I didn't expect what Bingo did next.

"Ouch!"

I hitched my breath when he suddenly (forcibly) closed the trunk before Ben could notice me.

"Oh, I was just looking for my phone, I think I saw it under the car."

"You saw your phone under the car? Are you kidding me or are you fucking crazy?"

I bite my lips just to control my laugh as I heard their conversation.

"No! I saw it under this car!"

"How will your phone go under this freaking car, huh?"

"Uhm...maybe someone played a frank joke on me and put my phone under this car."

-'Seriously, Bingo? Who the hell will put your phone under this damned car? But anyway, thank you for making such a great excuse.'-

I silently muttered.

"Why don't you go now, so I can get my phone? And I'm sure, Nanay Emily is waiting for you."

"Ohh... Bingo, you're crazy!"

"Thanks, dude, but I already know it. Good luck!"

"Good luck for what?"

"Oh, did I say good luck?"

"Yes, you said good luck!"

"Hmm... just don't mind it! What I mean is 'take care. Take care, Ma'am Sop---Nanay Emily!"

-'Oh, Bingo! I swear I'm gonna kill you!'- I muttered when I heard that he was about to mention my name.

I waited thirty minutes before I felt that the car had finally stopped, and waited again for another five to ten minutes before receiving a text message from Nanay Emily that they were already inside the supermarket.

I opened the trunk slightly to see if there was a guard left in the area and when I noticed it was clear, it's only then that I opened it widely.

But I stiffened when I heard voices in front of the car. I bite my lips and utter again a silent prayer.

-'My God, why does it seem so difficult to escape from them?'-

I waited for their next move and I breathe a sigh of relief when they both decided to go to the bathroom while waiting for Ben and Nanay Emily. And when I was sure that they finally left, I immediately jumped out of the car's trunk. And even though I felt the numbness in some parts of my body due to the uncomfortable position for more than thirty minutes, I simply ignored them and rushed towards the supermarket. Ben was nowhere to be found, so I had the chance to talk to Nanay Emily. And after a few minutes she urged me to leave before Ben could see me.

I ran to the back door of the supermarket and instantly recognized Bryan's car which was waiting near the gate.

End of flashback...

"Why didn't you call me that he wouldn't let you out of his house, so we could have taken you immediately?"

Bryan asked when I was already sitting inside the car. He and Damian were on the front seat while I was on the back.

"Bryan, calm down. I'm now in front of you and besides, it was a great experience for me." I shrugged, grinning as I remembered Bingo and Ben's conversation earlier.

"A challenge, huh? What if they noticed you and they tied you---"

"Hey! You're exaggerating! Come on, let's go! This is not the right time to talk about this. I have some important things to do."

I heard his harsh sigh before he gestured Damian to start the car.

"So what are you planning to do right now?" He asked when we were heading to his mansion.

"I need your help, Bryan."

He turned to me raising an eyebrow.

"I need you to track down Daniel's exact location in San Diego."

"What the hell! What are you going to do in San Diego? Did you escape from his security team just to show yourself to him?"

"Please, Bryan? This is the last time I will ever ask for your help, please?"

"You know that's not true." He said rolling his eyes.

"Please, Bryan. I promise I won't tell Aira about your darkest and most embarrassing secret."

"Haha... I'm sorry, sister, but I am not hiding any secrets from her."

I smirked as he leaned confidently in his seat.

"Huh! Really? What if I tell Aira that you always mentioned the name of your first crush every time you slept drunk?"

"Then go! I'm sure she won't believe you!"

"Ohh... what if I tell her that because you were so drunk last week, you pee and you poop on your bathroom carpet instead of on the toilet! What a disgrace!"

"Sophia Yzabelle!" He yelled, narrowing his eyes when Damian and I couldn't help laughing when we remembered that morning.

He was the first person I asked for help that day, so he also witnessed that most embarrassing moment in Bryan's life.

"So, are you going to help me or I will call your girlfriend and I will tell her-----"

"Okay, fine! I will help you, just shut up!"

Unlike Damian, I didn't stop laughing even when he threw me the deadliest glare I ever received from him.
