Vexed 95: Let Me Have A Taste

“Hey, it’s okay. I promise you, magkasama natin siyang haharapin bukas. Chief Rey assured me na hindi naman siya basta-bastang makakalaya, so there’s nothing to worry about. Sisiguraduhin kong mananagot siya sa batas. But for now, can we just enjoy the rest of the night, Athena? Please?” nakangiting tanong sa akin ni Cristoff, habang patuloy lang niyang pinipisil ang mga kamay ko.
What he was currently doing somehow made me feel at ease sa kabila nang nalaman ko. My brain floated and my eyelids weighted heavier than the usual, as part of me hushed on pause. My thoughts were trying to catch up, but I was at the loss of words.
Gayunpaman, nakangiti na lang akong tumango sa kanya. Although at the back of my head, I was still thinking of any valid reason kung bakit kinailangan pang sunugin o ipasunog ng taong ‘yon ang Project Charmed.

Athena’s P.O.V.It was before twelve midnight when we decided to call it a night. Cristoff asked me if I wanted to use the infinity pool for us to have a night swim together but this time, I rejected his offer with a promise that we could do it the next time.Marami pa namang oras kaming magsasama rito dahil hindi ko na itutuloy pa ang binabalak kong pagbalik sana sa Europe. With what happened to Charmed and with how our relationship was mending, we had to work closely together for better results.We were already in front of his unit on the eighth floor when I conditioned myself to go home. I found it hard to say goodbye because I didn’t want to, but I had to.“Cristoff, thanks for tonight. You still have to drive for me, right? I think, I better go—” I told him, but he cut my words when he suddenly wrapped me in a tight embrace.Hin

Athena’s P.O.V.“Just use my bedroom and if ever you’re in need of anything, I’m only at the guestroom. Just right beside this room. There’s an intercom connecting the two rooms—just press it, okay? I’ll come to you real quick.” Nakangiti niyang hinawi ang ilang buhok na tumakip sa mukha ko.At first, I doubted about why there would be an intercom between the two rooms. Ibig bang sabihin niyon, hindi talaga sila sa iisang kuwarto natulog ng kasama niyang babae rito noon? But in the end, ipinagsawalang-bahala ko na lang ‘yon.“Good night, Athena!” he said. I saw how Cristoff stared at my lips, but instead of kissing those, he kissed my forehead instead. The kiss made me feel his so much respect for me.Seconds later, he turned his back from me to march to his guestroom… but not that long, because I intentionally

Athena’s P.O.V.“No. Yes. No. Hmm…”I was looking at him with too much emotions, pero kailangan kong sabihin ang totoong nararamdaman ko. My contradicting answers showed that I was having doubts with the current situation… and with what the future holds.Topping them all was confusion. If I would be ready to surrender him my everything this dawn, I didn’t know and I wasn’t really sure of the answer.“Huh? I—I don’t get it… but feel free to express yourself, Athena. I’ll listen,” Cristoff ran his fingers through my hair until those reached the side of my delicate face.Saglit akong napapikit habang dinadama ko ang kamay niyang nakahawak sa akin. The sensation was too penetrating, I couldn’t control it.He doesn’t know that I am still a virgin, and reje

Athena’s P.O.V.Cristoff would always be my world, and right now, it would be too hard for me to let him go. Actually, parang nagkabalikan na nga kami ulit sa mga pinaggagagawa namin ngayon. Natatakot lang siguro akong lagyan ng label kung ano man ang totoong estado ng aming relasyon.Patuloy lang kami sa paghahalikan hanggang sa ang mga kamay ko ay unti-unti nang bumaba sa kanyang matipunong dibdib. I must admit that I was carelessly grazing the firmness of his muscles.For a few minutes, I played with his nipples and my fingers settled there. It was just unfortunate that our time tonight would never be enough for me to fully grope his body.Until I found myself cupping his jaws again and grabbing a handful of his hair when he kneaded my breast from the outside of my T-shirt. Right now, all I could feel was such an amazing pleasure!“Mmm,” we s

Athena’s P.O.V.Fluttering my eyes and dealt with heavy eyelids, it felt like I only slept for a minute. Sadyang napakaganda ng panaginip ko at sana lang talaga ay mapanaginipan ko ‘yon nang paulit-ulit.Extending my arm to push my lampshade intercom connecting to Ate Paula’s bedroom, I frowned because my right hand couldn’t locate it there. I fully opened my eyes and after having the most tiresome dream I couldn’t have ever imagined, I woke up lying on a different bed.Yawning, I scanned the whole area as I also scanned myself. After seeing my bared torso underneath the comforter, I closed my eyes for a little while… and it was when I fully remembered that I was with Cristoff last night.Everything wasn’t just a dream. The two of us shared an intimate night and almost made love during the dawn. So, here I woke up with only my panties on.

David’s P.O.V.Athena crossed our distance posthaste, throwing herself to me in the process. Dahil sa lakas ng impact niyon, napaatras pa ako para masalo ko siya nang maayos. “B-Bakit hindi mo sinabi sa akin? All this time, I thought it was T-Tyler.”Umiiyak siyang sumubsob sa dibdib ko, samantalang ako naman ay tahimik lang na inaamoy ang mabango niyang buhok. Gently caressing her back, my lips formed a smile after.With Athena being in my arms the whole night and even now, was it still necessary for her to know the truth? Sometimes, the loss of words says more. Masaya na ako sa kung ano mang meron kaming dalawa ngayon, and I wouldn’t ask for more.Although this was not yet the right time para malaman ni Athena ang totoo, ano pa ba ang magagawa ko? May magandang plano pa nga sana ako, pero nakita na niya ‘yong kuwintas na itinago ko.

David’s P.O.V.“Athena? Athena?”nag-aalalang bigkas ko sa pangalan niya, habang dahan-dahang tinatapik ang maganda niyang mukha kahit ito’y may ilang alikabok at dumi na. Ang mga mata ko naman ay naluluha na rin sa tindi ng aking kaba.I instantly checked her pulse and breathing, maayos naman. Pero kahit gano’n, I would not risk the safety of Athena. Kahit nasa alanganin kaming sitwasyon ay mabilis ko pa rin siyang binigyan ng *CPR. Ngunit, lalo lang akong nanghina nang hindi pa rin niya iminulat ang kanyang mga mata.May maliit siyang sugat sa ulo na tila naging dahilan nang pagkawala ng malay niya. Ilang patak din ng luha ang hindi ko namalayang pinakawalan na pala ng aking mga mata habang patuloy kong iniisip na—sa puwesto kung saan ko siya nakita ay sinikap niyang gumapang para lang makalabas.&

David’s P.O.V.Mahigpit ko pa ring yakap si Athena kahit tapos ko nang ikuwento sa kanya ang totoong nangyari. Umiiyak siyang nagsalita habang nakayakap din siya sa akin—ang kanyang mukha ay nakasubsob pa rin sa aking matipunong dibdib.“I—I was willing to let you go by that time, pero hindi ko pala kaya. Sa sobrang sakit no’ng ginawa mo sa‘kin dito mismo sa loob ng unit mo, na kulang na lang ay i-ipagtabuyan mo na ‘ko, I promised myself that I would never bother you again.” Humigpit ang mga yakap niya sa’kin.Seconds later, Athena shrugged her shoulders as she stared at me straight in the eyes. God knew how I truly loved gazing at her expressive green eyes.“Pero… pero no’ng naiwan ko ‘tong kuwintas na ‘to sa loob ng Charmed habang nagsisimula na ‘yong sunog? Habang nakikita k

Athena’s P.O.V.“Please, Cristoff. Tap your wristband!” I was impatiently tapping my wristband, but I couldn’t do anything to know his exact location… unless he would be the one to tap his.Pakiramdam ko, nauubusan ako ng oras at sa sobra kong pagkalito kung bakit kailangang mangyari ang lahat nang ito ngayon ay wala akong ibang maisip na paraan para makita siya agad. I was about to call Kuya Liam, when I suddenly remembered Denise…“Wow, how cute!” I snapped.The mini robot’s height was only about twelve-inch long. “This one is also for you. But you only have to turn it on once, Ate Athena. Sa oras lang na ikaw naman ‘yong naghahanap kay Kuya at hindi mo siya makita.”“Hmm, what do you mean by that?” I was staring at the

Athena’s P.O.V. It was just a short drive as we only decided to dine in at the ground floor of the Lexington Hotel, located at the east part of Countryside, Alabana. Halos hindi na nga kami nakapag-usap sa loob ng sasakyan. And that was a good thing dahil hindi ko rin naman alam ang sasabihin ko sa kanya. Not until… “Grabe, Cristoff! Ang dami naman nang in-order mo. Pinapataba mo ba ako?” nakangiting sabi ko sa kanya while still exploring my sight sa iba’t ibang putahe na inilalagay ng waiter sa mesa. I guessed Cristoff ordered via call or online. From the looks of it, I could say that he even reserved the restaurant for the two of us tonight. Masasarap ang lahat nang in-order niya at paniguradong masisira ang diet ko. Like The Mediterranean, the Lexington Restaurant also offers European foods—probably, to get three Michelin stars and have a healthy competition with the former. What I was seeing right now were paella, pierogi, goulash, gyros, and cheese fondue. “Hmmm, sort of!” C

Athena’s P.O.V. Another day had passed at hindi ko pa rin maiwasan ang mag-overthink. For almost four months, hindi na ako nakakatulog nang maayos sa gabi. Hindi dahil sa masyado akong busy sa EGC at CD Squared, kung hindi dahil sa isang bagay na patuloy lang na gumugulo sa aking isip. Pakiramdam ko, kung makakatulog man ako ay paulit-ulit ko pa ring mapapanaginipan ang nangyari nang mga oras na ‘yon. At paulit-ulit din akong sasampalin ng katotohanang ayaw sa’kin ng nakatatandang kapatid ni Cristoff. As much as I didn’t want to bury myself with what I heard, insecurities were reigning over me. I wanted to win Ate Diane’s favor, but I didn’t know where I would start with… until the plans went into ashes. “I don’t like her for you, Dave. Bakit ba paulit-ulit ka na lang na nahuhumaling sa babaeng ‘yan? High school pa lang, sinaktan ka na niya. No’ng college ka naman, halos
Sabotaging My Walkout Queen Book 2 Vexed 135: Sentencing Hearing
Athena’s P.O.V. It had already been almost four months since my accidental eavesdropping happened, and until now, I still didn’t know how to treat Cristoff right. I was guilty as hell, knowing that I was slowly walking away from him while weaving different sets of alibis. What I said when we were on the fire exit was true—Nadine and I really stayed at our mansion in Quezon City to talk about the reason behind that old letter. She explained to me her reasons and I was informed then, that she had also explained her side to Cristoff. I let that one pass. Siguro, kung ngayon niya ginawa sa’kin ‘yon ay hindi ko ‘yon mapapalagpas. Magagalit talaga ako kay Nadine dahil parang trinaydor niya ako sa kabila ng tiwalang ibinigay ko sa kanya. But then, hindi pa naman niya ako noon kilala at kailangan niya lang talaga ng pera. There was nothing weaker than a person’s mind, most especially in the face of money. Kapag gipit na gipit ka na, gagawin mo talaga ang lahat kahit na ang kumapit pa sa pa

Athena’s P.O.V.“Iniiwasan mo ba ako, Athena?” tila nagdududang tanong sa akin ni Cristoff—isang linggo pagkatapos ng insidenteng iyon.We just bumped into each other when we opened the same fire exit door at the twelfth floor. Paakyat siya at pababa naman ako. Naka-preventive maintenance kasi ang main elevator at malayo naman ‘yong secondary elevator sa office ko.It felt like my chest had swiftly congested by his question. Dahil hindi ko siya kayang tingnan nang diretso, I averted my stares away from Cristoff. Bababa na sana ako para pumunta sa tenth floor nang hawakan niya ang kaliwang braso ko.My mind was cloudy at first, but I chose to pretend like nothing had happened. Tutal, doon naman ako magaling—ang magkunwari.“Huh? Ano bang sinasabi mo diyan? I was just in a rush to see Evanna. At saka, bakit naman kita iiwasan?” pagmamaang-maangan kong tanong sa kanya pabalik. I was smiling at him, just for the two of us to feel that everything was still at ease.Pero sa totoo lang, naii
Sabotaging My Walkout Queen Book 2 Vexed 133: Her Whereabouts
David’s P.O.V. [Back to the Present] Nagmamadali akong bumalik sa opisina ko, pero wala na akong inabutang Athena na naghihintay sa loob nito. Just when I thought that I would be able to surprise her, I was the one who got surprised at all. And what made me even more surprised was seeing her mini robot still on top of my coffee table. I even knocked on the door of my personal restroom dahil nagbaka-sakali akong nasa loob lang siya nito, pero ni anino niya ay hindi ko nakita nang buksan ko ang pinto nito. It had been a month and I wasn’t yet able to tell her what I had discovered. Actually, hindi ko alam kung paano ko sasabihin sa kanya ang totoo. Alam kong mabibigla siya, kaya hanggang ngayon ay humahanap pa rin ako ng tamang tiyempo. Nagmamadali akong lumabas at napag-alaman kong naka-lock na ang glass door ng opisina niya, which possibly means na umuwi na siya. Kumatok pa ako roon nang ilang beses—making sure na baka nasa loob lang siya, pero wala talaga. These past few days ka

David’s P.O.V. “Take care of Athena, Dave. Angelo and I—we are leaving. We are going back to Germany,” Tyler hissed. “You don’t have to tell me what to do. I’ll always take care of her. But why are you leaving so soon? Is it because of Angelo’s mother?” walang paligoy-ligoy at diretso kong tanong. Hindi naman sumagot si Tyler. Nag-iwas lang ito ng tingin at saka sinuklay paitaas ang buhok. It was none of my business, but I wanted to make him realize some sense. I wasn’t expecting him to listen to me, but for Angelo’s sake… I was hoping. Then, I narrowed my eyes. “I don’t have any right to tell you this or instruct you on what you should do next, but just a piece of advice. Angelo deserves to meet his real mother. Huwag mo naman sanang ipagkait sa kanya kung ano ang totoo.” Tyler remained speechless for a while until he was able to say, “I had to resume work and take care of our business in Germany, Dave. Well, about Angelo’s real mother… she’s dead. That’s why Athena stood up for

David’s P.O.V.But whatever it was, I would not make a big deal out of it. Kung tutuusin ay pabor na pabor ‘yon sa’kin. I knew that Kuya Liam only did it for good. For all the things he did to me, alam kong hindi ako kailanman ipapahamak at pababayaan ng bayaw ko.Kuya Liam was the one who bailed me out of the jail and at that time, he even flew all the way to Europe. He gave me a lawyer who would take care of my case, without me worrying so much about my future. Of all the people, I would trust Kuya Liam even more.Kung ano man ang naging usapan nilang dalawa ni Don Miguel involving Athena and I, the deal was indeed at my advantage if part of the plan was for our paths to cross again in the corporate world. I wished it was, pero hindi ko pa rin napigilang mapalunok.If that was the case, what about the stage
Sabotaging My Walkout Queen Book 2 Vexed 130: The Confrontation
David’s P.O.V. “About Angelo. Whose son is he?” I found myself asking him despite the fact that I didn’t want to begin any conversation with him. If I had a firearm here, I would have threatened him at gunpoint for him to divulge the truth to me. Mahina ang pagkakasabi ko dahil baka magising sila Athena, ngunit binigyang diin ko naman ang bawat salita—habang diretsong nakatingin sa mga mata ng taong naging bahagi ng masalimuot kong nakaraan. Nagtatagis ang aking mga bagang habang kaharap ang isa sa mga taong minsa’y pinagkaitan ako ng kaligayahan. “Enough with all the lies, please!” My voice was still controlled as I snapped at Tyler. Right now, the gushing blood through my whole system was already at boiling point and my nose was indeed flaring in anger. Matigas kong kinuyom ang mga kamao ko. Pinipigilan ko ang sarili ko ngayon dahil kaunti na lang talaga ay baka bigla ko nang mahawakan at maiangat ang kanyang kuwelyo. His son already spilled the beans, and I believed Angelo with
