Chapter 3: Panther

"Daddy?" A child asked through the open door. The blue of his eyes still shined as he gazed at us.

I pushed the man who was still between my thighs. Until the door finally opened and a cute baby boy sprang out of it. He's cute because he's wearing a black suit, and his long hair is also woven in his back. When he saw me, he suddenly started crying. Due to my nervousness, I immediately approached him. It's like instinct because I don't know why I obeyed so quickly.

"Why are you crying? Hold on." I said softly and adjusted my clothes before picking him up.

"M-Mommy? Is that you? Why are you back now?" His face was full of tears as he said that.

My heart sank as I stared at the man who was now sitting on the bed as he looked blankly at us. I don't see any emotion in him but there is joy in his eyes.

"I waited for you mommy. You didn't show up on my two birthdays, you weren't here." There was sullenness in his voice.

I don't know what to say to him because I'm not his mommy.

"I'm not your mo—"

"Panther, come here. Mommy is tired so you can talk later okay? Tina, take Panther and bring him to my office." He ordered the girl behind us.

His son didn't want to agree but he also seemed to be afraid of his father so he didn't do anything. After that, I remembered what he had done to me earlier. My face felt hot remembering that scene.

"Get dressed, we have something to talk about." He ordered me then he walked away.

I followed what he wanted and entered the bathroom again where we shower. There was a pair of pajamas and underwear that were just the right size for me. I also dried my hair with a blower and didn't bother to fix my face. When I came out of the bathroom, I found him smoking. Even though he wore slacks and pants, he was wearing nothing on his upper body. He has several scars from bullet wounds on his back, and I stared at his whole body. He also has long hair like his son. And I will not deny that he has a good body because he has six-pack abs.

"Sit here." He ordered and he patted his leg.

"Ah?"

"Then sit here and we'll talk," he said, pointing to the sofa.

Still, I bowed down in front of him out of embarrassment. Yet nothing seems to have happened to him.

"Who are you?"

"Susana Elizalde," I answered his question simply.

He stared at me intently, perhaps knowing if I was telling the truth. He also placed a brown envelope in front of me. I wondered but I took it and opened it. Suzanne and I saw our photo as well as some information about us. Then I looked at him again and said seriously.

"Can I go home? I'm not the girl you're looking for. I don't know where Suzanne is." I blurted out.

"No. I don't care about her. I'm interested in you." he said seriously.

I gasped at what he said and quickly shook my head because I didn't intend to. I don't want to experience what happened earlier, I want to go home.

"I don't want to. I want to go home, sir—"

"Zeus." He interrupted what I should have said.

"Mr. Zeus I hope you understand that I know nothing about your life with my twin. Your disciples only got me by accident because my twin betrayed me." I explained to him but he didn't seem to like what I said because his face suddenly darkened.

"I don't need your permission. You're mine because you enter my territory and I won't let you get away from me, Susana." He replied as if he was going crazy.

I stood up because of the irritation I felt. I'm not something he can claim just because I ended up here in his territory. I don't want to be with a monster like him. An evil man who sells women, innocent women.

"I'll sue you if you don't let me go! I will report you to the police because you are doing horrible things to women!" I shouted at him.

Instead of being afraid, he just smiled at me stupidly before leaning on the sofa he was sitting on.

"I hold the law, Elizalde. Every law in the Philippines is in my possession. That's why I'm here in your country because it's easy to manipulate your laws with money," he said.

I was silent because of what he said. He can indeed buy the law, but not my dignity.

"You're a beast."

"I don't care what you think, as long as I make a million. So take care of my son at least for a while until I find that girl."

What he said caught my attention so I looked at him.

"What do you mean?" I wonder.

"Take care of my son while your twin is missing. You will replace your stupid sister. I still have a lot to fix. My son is in my office. You will take care of him."

He stood up and walked to the door but I quickly stood up and stopped him from leaving. He looked at me in surprise before moving his gaze to my hand that was in his arm. I was surprised by what I did, so I quickly let him go. He pulled my neck with his hand and kissed me harshly.

"Hmm! S-Stop!" I stopped him.

"You turned me on, woman!" he muttered between our lips.

Tears fell down my cheeks and when he saw them, he quickly let go of me. He even looked up and cursed in a whisper. He also kicked the door in front of us.

"F*ck! Don't touch me if you don't want us to do more than that. Go to my son. Don't try to run away because you can't run away from me."

After saying that, he left the room. I was left sitting on the cold floor. My lips are thickened because of his rough kiss. There is nothing I can do even if I run away I know I have no escape. I'll just do what he wants until he finds my twin. Another part of me wants to meet his son. Not because we have the same eye color but because there is a part of my heart that tells me to know him.
