His Possessive WifePROLOGUEIT WAS A cold night in Russia, the breezing air from the open veranda touches Lilith's skin. She didn't even shiver as the coldness touched her skin, she's used to it. She's wearing a black blouse while sitting on her couch, facing the open veranda, while drinking a cold Americano latte."Really, Lilith? A cold latte for cold weather?" She heard her twin sister's voice from behind, asked in disbelief.She didn't bother to glance to her, she just give her a simple shrug but was more on nodding. She felt her sister, Lily, sat down on the top of her bed, near her, as she sip her latte."You know, Lilith. You don't have to agree on Daddy's order." Lily said in a soft voice. "It's too much, you know. I know you want to make it up to him but, didn't yo
Part II"GOOD MORNING, I hope I didn't make you two wait for long." Klaus automatically raised his head to see the woman standing in front of them. She's wearing a white off-shoulder that shows her milky skin, and when he finally saw the woman's face, his breathing hitched and became ragged.Who is she? That's the first question that popped into his mind. How can this woman be so hypnotizing and so stunning? But when he noticed her smile, he secretly rolled his eyes and get his attention back to his mom. TSS, a fake smile.Nakita niya mula sa kanyang peripheral vision ang paglapit nito sa kanila na mas lalong nagpabilis ng tibok ng puso niya. Fuck! What's happening to you?! Palihim niyang saw
UnoWHEN LILITH's both feet touches the land of the Philippines, she felt calm and relax. Pakiramdam niya ay pansamantala siyang nakalaya sa hawla na ginawa ng kanyang ama.But she knew that things would be much worse than before. Now that Nikolaus is now her husband.They are both silent as they were riding his Black Limousine to his own villa. Hanggang sa makarating sila sa malawak at magarbo nitong mansion, tahimik lang sila. She can feel that Nikolaus is avoiding her."Welcome back, Sir—" nilingon niya ang lalaking sumalubong kay Nikolaus. The man looked at her with a shock. She can say. Hindi nito naituloy ang sasabihin nito nang makita siya.She gave him a forced smile. "Hi, I'm Lilith." Inilahad niya ang kanyang kaliwang kamay para makipagkamayan sa
DosLILITH woke up late, as usual. She sleeps late last night, she was busy contacting her men inside and outside the Philippines to give her some updates about her elder brother. It's been two years since her Kuya walk away from their home without saying goodbye. They can't even track him, it's like someone is protecting him from being traced.She stretched her arms and yawned as she stood up from the bed. She didn't sleep with her husband, it's still uncomfortable though. Sleeping with someone she still doesn't know. She might know his background but not the real him.She slept in the guest room located on the first floor and what's worse is that there is no aircon there. Nahirapan tuloy siyang makatulog kagabi, thanks to the sleeping pills she has taken last night, she was able to sleep soundly.Tinatamad
Tres"YOU'RE BROTHER IS CURRENTLY THERE, IN THE PHILIPPINES." Her tracker informed her as she picked up her phone.She sighed heavily as she sat on the sofa. Exhaustion is visible to her face."I know, baby. I know. I just saw him earlier," sabi niya sa walang buhay na boses."Oh? You should be happy then, you finally saw your brother." He pointed out.She shook her head and massage her forehead as she remembers what happened earlier in the mall."He ran away from me, baby." She confessed and ended the call without bidding goodbye.&
Cuatro NIKOLAUS can't help but to frown, seeing how busy Lilith is. After they had dinner together last night, she became busy, up until now. She's even having dark bags under her eyes! "Lilith," pagkuha niya sa atensyon nito na abala sa pagtipa sa laptop nito. "Lilith," he called out her name again when she ignored him. And again, she didn't pay attention to him. "Minha amável esposa," he said in a warning tone. And thankfully, Lilith looked up and stared at him. "What?" She asked innocently. Mukhang hindi talaga siya nito napansin dahil nakatuon ang buong atensyon nito sa laptop at cellphone nito. Pinagkrus niya ang magkabilang braso sa harapan niya at lumapit sa asawa niya. "What time is it
CincoKANINA pa wala sa mood si Lilith kaya naman ay matalim niyang tinitingnan si Frazier. They are currently walking in the mall, some people are throwing some stares at them, envy are visible into their eyes. She can see it.Frazier's arm is wrapped into her shoulder. Palihim niya itong sinisiko para maalis ang kamay nito na nakaakbay sa balikat niya pero ibinabalik lang din naman nito ang braso nito sa balikat niya. She don't like the way people throw some stares at them, it's making her uncomfortable."Fuck off, Frazier! Drive me home," she commanded in a low tone of voice.Frazier tsked as he keeps on pulling her to somewhere."No, Lilith. You kidnapped me," he pointed out to make her feel guilty but she don't feel anything but pissed. "I can actually sue you for that, but since we're friends, I'll let it pass." He stopped and removed his arm on her shoulder.
Seis NAKATIIM-BAGANG SI Nikolaus habang tinatahak ang daan papunta sa kwarto niya. He has many questions to ask to her, he will confront her. Bakit nasa bahay niya ang lalaking iyon na sinasabing tracker niya? She didn't even ask for my permission! Hindi pa man siya nakakapasok sa loob ng kwarto niya ay dinig niya ang malakas na pagdaing ng isang tinig mula sa loob. He opened the door and went inside. His wife is no where to be found inside, but when the groan come into his ears again, he immediately followed the voice. Galing iyon sa bathroom. The groan in pain is filling his ears as he silently twitched the doorknob and went inside his bathroom. Halos nanigas sa kinatatayuan si Nikolaus nang makita ang likod ng asawa niya na may dumadaloy na pulang likido. Mukhang hindi nito napansin ang pagpasok
Veinte-nuebeCLEOPATRA can feel someone’s stare at her from somewhere, that’s why she turned her head to see who the hell is staring her. As she turn her head, she saw a man looking at her intently like memorizing every inch and angles on her face, with a longing and another emotion she can’t name. And the way that unknown man look at her, it somehow pisses her off. Since she got announced by the emcee, that man keeps on staring at her up until now. With her eyebrows furrowed, she look away and asked her Lolo. “Who’s that man over there, Lolo?” She can’t hide the irritation in her voice.Her Lolo stopped talking to his friends and signed them to kindly give them space, and thankfully they did.Her Lolo took a glace at Nikolaus who’s still staring in their direction before giving his attention back to her. “Ah, that man is Nikolaus Monroe Florida. Does that name ring a bell to you?” With her forehead knotted, she shook her head. “No, why? Is he somehow… part of my life before?” She
Veinte-otso THE PRIVATE plane that they are riding landed safely on Vnukovo International Airport located in Moscow. His personal pilot announced that they landed the aiport safely and peacefully. Dinig niya ang sunod-sunod na pagrereklamo ni Frazier mula sa kanyang likuran. Ito kasi ang pinagbuhat niya sa maleta at bag niya, pambayad sa pagpapasakay niya sa pribado niyang eroplano. “F*ck this! Hey, Nikolaus. Tulungan mo ako dito. You do realize that I only have two arms, yeah?” There’s an irritation on his voice but he just give him a hush sign before passing him. “Ugh! I hate being with a crazy, asshole, broken man. Kapag ako napuno na, mapapatay talaga kita, Nikolaus!” At dahil panay ang reklamo nito at naririndi na siya sa boses nito, pasimple niyang isinuot ang earphone niya sa tainga at nakinig sa malamyos at mapayapang musika. THEY CHECKED in Four Seasons Hotel Moscow for it is already late and decided to roam and tour the place tomorrow morning. Halos labing-apat na oras
Veinte-seiteAfter 3 years…“THIS IS OUR LAST SESSION for your therapy and I am hoping that this will really be the last, Mr. Florida.” His psychological doctor said while writing something on the white sheet.Ms. Martinez has been his psychiatrist for three consecutive years and thankfully, she didn't give up on him. Kahit nakikita na nitong napakalalim ng pinagdaraanan niya, na wala ng ibang paraan para gumaling pa siya sa depresyon. The wound is too deep to heal that even time can’t heal. One year of crying and mourning for his beloved, he felt numb. Nagising nalang siya isang araw na namanhid na ang puso niya. Wala ng luhang lumalabas sa mga mata niya. He felt empty. No pain, just nothing.“With all your respect, Mr. Florida, I don't want to see you here anymore.” Ms. Martinez raises her head and look at him. “Three years, Monroe, three continuous years. How can you move on if you're still believing that Lilith is alive—”“Stop... mentioning her name,” he said almost in whisper. E
Veinte-sies“HOW’S THE INVESTIGATION?” Nikolaus asked his people when he enters his underground.There are five men who he assigned to do the investigation about what happened to his wife, Lilith.Pabalik-balik lang siya sa mansyon at underground niya sa loob ng isang linggo. It’s like his daily routine for one week.He mourned for Lilith's death in one hellish week, crying his heart out, drinking all the liquor he has in his house. Halos wala ng laman ang tiyan niya kundi alak at alak lang. Wala siyang ganang kumain or even to live his life again.Pakiramdam ni
Veinte-cinco“GUESS WHAT, AUG? I’m married!” Masayang anunsyo ni Nikolaus sa kaibigan niyang si Augustus na may halong pagmamayabang.Augustus is the owner of the Florin Enterprise or can also be called as an Empire. Hindi na sila masyadong nagkikita o nagkakausap dahil abala ito sa mga anak nito habang siya naman ay abala lang sa negosyo. Not until Lilith came.Biglang sumilay ang masuyong ngiti sa labi ni Nikolaus nang maalala ang sinabi nito sa kanya. He is important to her. And that’s close to ‘I love you'. Mataas ang kumpyansa niya na may nararamdaman ang dalaga para sa kanya, hindi nga lang ganoon ka lalim kagaya ng sa kanya.“Really?” Tanging usal nito na para bang hindi makapaniwala sa sinabi niya.Nikolaus sighed as he rolled his eyes. Pasalampak siyang umupo sa sofa at nagsimulang magkuwento.“Actually, it’s
Veinte-quatroLILITH was nervous as hell for her father won’t message her like that if it is not urgent or emergency. Nagmamadaling pinuntahan niya ang address na ibinigay ng kanyang ama. Using her Ducati, she quickly arrived her destination and immediately parked it on the side before entering the building. But before she could enter, there are ten men surrounding the area, wearing suites and stood up formally.“Sino kayo?” She asked when she reached the entrance where one man is like guarding the main entrance.The man looked at her and spoke, “Miss Lilith Cortez?” May paninigurado sa boses nito habang tuwid na tuwid na nakatayo sa harapan niya.The man stood six footer, and she can say that he is not a Filipino. Maybe he is one of her father’s men. What could be the possible reason why her father’s men are here? She wonders.
Veinte-tresLILITH WOKE up late for Nikolaus commanded her to rest longer and she did. Halos sa dalawang araw na nagpapagaling siya ay wala siyang ibang ginawa kundi ang matulog at kumain. Nikolaus didn’t allow her to walk and feed herself. Ito na mismo ang nagpapakain sa kanya and she finds it sweet but weird.It’s weird to have a man feeding you while you can still use your both hands. Hindi naman siya imbaldado para alagaan ng masyado. In those two days, her father keep on calling her through phone but she always ignore or decline it. She’s still not in the mood to talk or have a simple conversation with her father, she’s still mad at him. For taking advantage on Nikolaus.Lilith shook her head to discard those thoughts in her mind and stretched her body. Umupo siya mula sa pagkakahiga at ipinalibot ang paningin sa kabuuan ng silid ni Nikolaus. Yes, she occupies Nikolaus' master bedroom as Ni
VeintedosLILITH WOKE UP when she heard some noises from somewhere near her. She immediately sit up and grunt at the same time when an excruciating pain strike her flank. Mariin niyang ipinikit ang mga mata habang hinihintay na humupa ang sakit sa kanyang tagiliran.She slowly stood up when she felt that the pain on her side lessened. Nagsimula siyang maglakad at sinundan ang ingay na nagmumula sa kung saan. Then, her feet brought her to the living room, where her father and Nikolaus are… arguing!“—No sir! I won’t let you access my private underground, it’s mine at wala sa usapan natin ang manghimasok ka sa pribado kong pag-aari!” Galit na asik ni Nikolaus sa ama niya kaya kaagad niya iton
VeinteunoLILITH was spacing out as she drives her way to her basement. Her mind keeps on remembering what happened in Salvador's mansion. When she saw the shock in Faith's face, she knows that Faith heard their conversation with her father. All she can do is to give her a simple smile and uttered the word 'thank you', before walking away.Guilt coated her heart as she felt the air around suffocating her that she hardly can't breathe properly. Blaming herself won't do anything or change anything, she did it for her brother, to be with him again, to feel what it is to have a family. But in exchange, she hurt someone, someone that's been close to her, someone who made her feel how a love of the siblings is. Faith shows her the real definition of happiness and the love of a sister.Habang nagmamaneho siya papunta sa basement niya ay nakaramdam siya na parang may sumusunod sa kaniya. Using the rear mirror, she glan
