Lucien was woken up by the ring of his phone. With his eyes remaining closed, he lazily reached for his phone on the bedside table and answered the call directly without looking at the caller's id.

"I fxcking hate you. Go die." A woman's voice sounded before the call abruptly ended.

He was startled. He got up and looked at the caller. It has Zephyra's name on it.

What was that?

He dialled the number but it was rejected. He called her again but she rejected it again.

What is wrong with her?

Racking his mind thinking what he had done, he got up from the bed and went next door. He pressed her doorbell and then knocked three times.

No one answered. He knocked again and called out for her name.

She didn't open the door but he received a call from her which he immediately answered.

"Hey, what did I do?" he asked quickly.

"I called the wrong person. Don't worry about it and go back. Sorry for disturbing your sleep."

"You sounded really angry. Who was it?"

"It was no one... ugh"

  • Something Borrowed   Chapter 17

    Tatlong araw lang ang lumipas at tuluyan na nga nawala ang sakit niya sa katawan. Regular pa din ang training nila pero medyo nabawasan ng kaunti ang intensidad.Lucien was still a monster as a trainer even though she felt sore all over. Walang awa talaga ang gxgo. But she was somewhat thankful for him being strict because she can feel the changes in her body. Her stamina has improved a bit."After a month, we have to practice your shooting skills"Sabi ni Eveline sa kanya. Binisita siya nito at pinag-usapan ang magiging schedule niya.Tumango siya. "I did learn before since I carry a gun when I work""Mapanganib din ba ang maging imbestigador?""Oo, may tendency na mapanganib magtrabaho bilang PI. Pero hindi ako tumatanggap ng kaso na buwis-buhay. Tracking down information can create suspicions and it'll be stressful if someone is being hostile towards you while doing the job. Mostly, tumatanggap ako ng cases galing sa mga lawyers at private citizens. It was exciting."Nakangiting tu

    Lucien Clive Harrison. He was a victim of a massacre when he was just eight years old. His whole family were murdered and he witnessed the bloodbath with his own eyes. "Oh God" natutop ni Misha ang bibig sa nabasa niyang files.Binigay sa kanya ni Eveline ang mga files bago ito umalis kanina. Ang naunang files na nabasa niya noon ay mga basic information lang pero ang hawak niya ngayon ay mas detalyado. Ang mga files na binabasa niya ay ang mga detailed profile ng mga kaibigan ni Zephyra. Kakaumpisa pa lang niya at pinili niyang unahin ang files ni Lucien pero ang karumal dumal na trahedya ang agad niyang nalaman. Sumikip ang dibdib niya habang binabasa ang impormasyon.Ang ISHA ang nagrescue kay Lucien na nakita nilang sugatan na nagtatago sa kabinet. Ang may gawa ng massacre ay isang grupo mula sa isang malaking sindikato. Isang politiko ang tatay ni Lucien na may magandang reputasyon. And because politics is such a filthy world, killing is inevitable.ISHA took him in. Pinakain,

    "Hmm," Lucien hummed as if thinking deeply.The whole time, nakatingin lang si Misha sa mukha nito at wala naman siyang nakitang kahina-hinala.Fortunately for him, he seemed to be clean."Aha! I know a secret that you told me once."Nilapag niya ang bowl sa center table. "Really? What is it?" She asked curiously."You told me you don't like watching horror movies especially if it has ghosts in it," natatawa nitong saad. "You even told me that I was the only one who knew"Napakurap-kurap siya sa narinig. Truth be told, she was already expecting him to be clean. She just wanted to be sure. But she felt horrible. Kani-kanina lang nalulungkot siya dahil sa nakaraan nito, but look at her questioning him things with another plan in her head. What a nasty thing to do. She sighed and looked at him. "Thanks, Lucien" she uttered seriously.He was taken aback. "What... About what?""Just for everything. For protecting me, for being there, for staying""I can stay with you forever," he said wi

    Pagsapit ng gabi, may kumatok sa suite nila ni Lucien. Pagbukas ni Misha ng pinto, nakita niya sina Cedric, Francis at Gio."Z! You busy?" nakangiting bungad ni Gio.Umiling siya at pinapasok ang tatlo sa loob. "Not really. You three got here together?" Mukhang kakarating lang ng mga ito sa Malibu. "Yeah. We are staying next door. I share a suite with Francis. Cedric is all by himself," tugon ni Gio na napatingin sa paligid na parang may hinahanap."Lucien's sleeping," sabi niya. Mukhang si Lucien kasi ang hinahanap nito. "Huh?" nagtatakang saad ni Cedric. "Isn't it a little early for a sleep?""We drove around and did some sightseeing here and there. Guess he got tired driving all day," sagot niya na may mahinang tawa. "What? You two played around without us?" Nakasimangot na sambit ni Cedric."Bro got jealous?" Nakangising singit ni Francis na nakatingin kay Cedric."What the fxck are you talking about?" sabat ni Cedric.Gio sighed. "Children, stop it. We are here to invite them

    Nang makabalik si Misha sa tamang huwisyo, tinulak niya si Lucien kaya pabagsak na napaupo ito sa mabatong daan. She glared at him. "You did it again, you asshxle." Tumayo siya saka pinagpag ang sarili. "Bahala kang bumalik mag-isa, gxgo," dagdag niyang sigaw saka nagmarcha paalis.Naiinis na bumalik siya sa suite nila. Dumeretso sa kwarto niya at naligo. She went straight to bed right after. Nakasarado na ang mga mata niya pero ang tenga niya naghihintay ng kahit na anong tunog na magpapatunay na nakabalik na si Lucien sa tinutuluyan nila. She waited and waited as she tossed and turned until hours passed. She became worried when the night deepened and Lucien has yet to come back.Naiinis na bumangon siya sa pagkakahiga at bumaba sa kama."Napakagago naman, bakit 'di pa rin bumabalik?"Nag-echo sa pandinig niya ang mga salita ni Cedric tungkol kay Lucien. *I remember the first time we drink outside together. I was shocked because this fxcker turned into a complete idiot when he was

    They all looked tan after the activities but nobody cares even if they have a wedding to attend the following day. They had a lot of fun and that's all that matters.Tinawagan siya ni Eveline nang gabing iyon at kinamusta ang bakasyon nila. "It was all good. We're enjoying our stay here. I get to know the guys as well." Kwinento niya ang mga activities na ginawa nila."That's good. I'm glad you are having a great time."She heard Eveline's low sigh kaya nagtaka siya. Mukhang may problema. "Something's wrong?""Pagbalik mo, kailangan nating mag-usap. May nakita kaming mga tao na umaaligid sa building na tinitirhan niyo ni Lucien. Looks like they are starting to move again.""Natiktikan ba nila kung san kami nakatira?" Nakakunot ang noong tanong niya."The place is not really private. A lot of people come and go to that building so knowing is a piece of cake plus with an insider, it's so easy for them to know. If not for Lucien always staying by your side, baka nadukot ka nila ulit."

    "Pinili ko ang bahay dito dahil may sariling training space dito na nasa basement.""And there is also something you need to know," dagdag ni Eveline. Tumango siya kay Eveline para hayaan itong ipagpatuloy ang sasabihin."Actually, the information she left me about you included a key to this house. I think that there might be some clue here kaya dinala na rin kita dito. Maybe you can find something here that can tell any valuable information."Napamaang siya. "Have you looked around? I'm guessing you did."Tumango si Eveline. "I did, pero wala akong makita. So, I'm leaving the job to you."She nodded. "I'll try to look at it. Any more information I have to know?"Umiling si Eveline. "Nothing. Just continue your training. In a few weeks, we'll practice your shooting."Tinapos nila ang pag-uusap at tinawag na ni Eveline pabalik si Lucien at nag-usap silang tatlo. May mga binilin ito kay Lucien at sa kanya bago sila nito tuluyang iwan sa bahay."Hon, we're cohabiting—"Hindi niya hinaya

    Four weeks later. "Ready ka na, hon?" Lucien knocked on Zephyra's door. After several weeks of learning tagalog, he can now speak it with a little difficulty of course."Nanjan na," she answered from inside her room. He can understand her when she speak in tagalog and sometimes they even hold conversation with the language. But his pronunciation is still not accurate compared to her. He still has a long way to go. He was trying to improve his speaking because he noticed that Zephyra was more comfortable speaking in that language which he did not take a hint before at all. When she got out of the room, he saw her in simple t-shirt and jeans and a denim jacket. She was also wearing a black cap letting her curly hair fell over her shoulders freely. This look was very different from the her before. Ever since they temporarily live in SF, Eveline told her not to wear her usual track suits for her safety."Tara na? Naghihintay na si Eveline sa shooting range," he said.She smiled at hi

    After the short sexual session with Lucien, Misha finally remembers that they are scheduled to fly to India. She tapped Lucien's arm. "I think we need to get up now"Lucien lazily grunted but he got up. "Yeah, we should or we're going to miss our flight."Natawa siya saka umalis na rin sa kama. Sinuot niya ulit ang t-shirt ni Lucien saka lumabas sa kwarto nito at pumanhik sa taas. Mabilis na naghanda siya at pagkatapos ay bumaba na dala-dala ang isang maliit na maleta. Nakita niya si Lucien na tanging isang backpack lang ang dala. Kinuha sa kanya ni Lucien ang maleta at saka ito na ang nagdala palabas ng bahay. Kinarga nito sa sasakyan ang mga dala nila at pagkatapos ay nilisan na nila ang lugar. MUMBAI, INDIAHindi alam ni Misha kung paano nagawa ni Eveline, pero nabalitaan niyang malaking grupo na ang Lomarte at gumagawa na ng pangalan sa Mumbai. May ilang maliliit na gang na rin na sinira ang Lomarte at ginugulo ang negosyo ng ibang sindikato. Ayun sa impormasyon na nakalap ni

    "Ah fxck, faster, baby!" Lucien growled loudly as his hands on her hips tightened leaving marks on her skin. Misha glared at him. She'd been riding him for several minutes but this insatiable guy is not reaching his peak. Mukhang sinasadya nitong pigilan ang rurok nito. Nang makita nito na masama ang tingin niya, natawa ito ng mahina. He looked so hot, she unconsciously clenched around his hard length. He moaned. "Fxck, you are driving me crazy. Baby, you are squeezing me good. I can feel everything inside you.""Why don't we switch? My thighs feel weak," she can't help but admit honestly. He hugged his rough arms around her back and carefully shifted their position. He dropped small kisses on her shoulder as he laid her down "Your wish is my command." With his length still lodged inside her, she groaned as he twitched. He's so thick and hard, she felt so full and satisfied.He started moving inside her. In and out, push and pull with intense vigor she thought she'll go mad becau

    Parang huminto ang pag-ikot ng mundo habang pigil ang hiningang hinintay nila ang sagot ni Lucien. "Why? What happened to him?" Tumayo si Cedric at lumapit kay Lucien.Seryosong tumingin si Lucien kay Cedric. "Dale... He... He said he's coming."Natahimik ang lahat ng ilang segundo bago sunod-sunod na malulutong na mura ang lumabas sa mga labi nina Gio, Cedric at Francis. Natawa naman si Lucien na parang nakakatawa yung ginawa niya. Naiiling nalang siya. "This fxcking bastard... It's not funny, you lunatic," masama ang tingin na sabi ni Cedric kay Lucien. Sinuntok pa nito si Lucien. Gumanti naman yung isa. Tinampal-tampal ni Gio ang dxbdib na parang nakahinga ng maluwag. "Hoo, I thought I'd suffer from a heart attack.""What's wrong with you? I really thought something bad happen to Dale. What an asshxle," naiiling na saad ni Francis. Mabilis naman na nakabawi ang lahat at bumalik na sa pagkain at panonood na para bang walang nangyari. Pinaypay ni Gio si Lucien para kunin ang at

    Napansin ni Misha mula sa side mirror ang isa pang sasakyan na nakasunod sa sasakyan ni Cedric nang malapit na sila sa tahanan ni Lucien."Wait, who's that?" Nilingon niya ang sasakyan.Lucien looked at the side mirror of the car. His brows creased as he clicked his tongue. "That's Gio's."Nakahinga siya ng maluwag, akala niya kasi kalaban. Binilin ni Lucien sa security na hayaang papasukin ang dalawang sasakyan na nakasunod sa kanila bago tuluyang pumasok sa loob. Pagdating nila sa harap ng bahay ni Lucien, sunod-sunod na huminto ang sasakyan ni Cedric at Gio. Lulan ng sasakyan ni Gio si Francis. Akala niya kasama rin ng mga ito si Dale pero hindi niya ito nakita."Hey," nakangiting bati ni Gio. "Cedric said he's going here so we tag along. I can't let Z and her harem have fun by themselves.""Whatever, let's just go inside," wika ni Lucien na nakasimangot saka pumasok na sa loob.Natatawang sumunod sila. Gio walked by her side and slightly nudged her shoulder. "Z, I didn't know y

    Misha's eyes secretly roamed around the table as soon as Eveline started to mention La Raza. A slight fluctuations of expression can lead to something else. Habang naglalakbay ang mga mata niya, she caught a distinct expression. She smirked a little and continued to listen to Eveline. ..."To sum it all up, Zephyra and her team initially handled this case. They followed this group and planned for a raid. But before the raid, Zephyra found that the group belongs to Silvestre family— a household under La Raza Empire. Zephyra dismissed her team and started to investigate this family that leads to another information and later discovered the existence of La Raza Empire. Zephyra got unlucky and so here you all are, gather in one team to get the job done.""But what is this another syndicate?" Dale asked as his eyes fixed in the files. "Lomarte? Are they linked to La Raza?"Umiling si Eveline. "No, that'll be you."Nangunot ang noo ng lahat. "What do you mean?" Gio asked."First phase of

    "It's a feasible plan"Sabi ni Eveline nang ihayag nila ni Lucien ang planong pagpapanggap bilang sindikato para mang-sabotahe ng mga transactions. Nasa headquarters pa rin sila at nag-uusap sa isang conference room.Eveline added, "But you need a team."Tumingin siya sa dalawang kausap. "Kung wala silang mission sa mga oras na 'to, I suggest them.""Who?" Magkasabay na tanong ni Lucien at Eveline.Nilapag niya sa lamesa ang hawak na folder na naglalaman ng profile ng mga kaibigan ni Zephyra. Namely: Cedric, Dale, Gio and Francis.Lucien glanced at her with his brows furrowed. "But you said the spy is among them.""Well, better have them all next to us than leave them unattended while we're at it." She knows the risk but she'll choose to take the risk to uncover the spy more efficiently.She'll make the spy work with them and at the same time, she'll uncover the identity. She needs interaction. She already has someone in mind but she has to make sure.Nakangising tinignan siya ni Evel

    Habang naghihintay ng delivery, kumakain sila ng ice cream ni Lucien saka nanunuod ng movie. "I know you are a softie despite that formidable body but this movie is a bit..."Nakanguso na tinignan siya ng masama ni Lucien. "Bakit? Is there something wrong with my choice of movies?"Lihim siyang napangiti. "Wala naman, kung fu panda," aniya na umiiling."Baby, kung fu panda is a good movie."Tumango siya. "Yes, I know that. But how many times have we watched this?" Simula pa nung nasa L.A sila, minsan nanunuod sila ng movies as a pastime. Lucien's choices of movies are quite unique. He likes animated movies such as kung fu panda, how to train your dragon, coco, the book of life, the croods at marami pang iba. "It's part three! We only watched part three once."She laughed lowly seeing him all defensive. "Yeah, sure."He frowned at her and continue to mumble gibberish. She just shook her head and let him be.Maya-maya pa dumating na ang delivery na hinatid ng security na nagbabantay s

    Walang pakialam si Misha kung nakailang babae na si Lucien sa buhay nito. Gusto niya lang talaga malaman kung may active sex life ito bago siya umeksena. It was a genuine curious question. Basi kasi sa itsura ng binata, ito yung tipo na hindi masyadong lapitin ng babae. Lucien has an intimidating presence, no weak and easily-frightened woman can approach him. He has that aura of a gang boss or a mafia Don. Just like those people who are at the top of food chain. If she was a stranger and she saw Lucien for the first time, her first impression of him would be a very dangerous handsome man. Yung titignan mo lang sa malayo pero hindi mo lalapitan. Yung maglalaway ka sa tingin pero hindi mo titikman.During Dale's wedding, may iilang matapang na babae na lumapit dito, hindi nga lang swinerte na makuha ang atensyon nito pabalik. Lucien always maintained a safe distance. Base on what she observed, he was not the kind of man who jump on a woman who spread their legs voluntarily for him.

    She said to let go of the nightmares, and not forget. Let go. That was a very realistic thing to say and Lucien found comfort in those words. He would never forget that night and he'd been keeping that memory since that very night. Like a pest, it's been coming back, visiting him in his sleep, making him remember the horrendous tragedy he witnessed. He blamed himself for that tragedy. He blamed himself for being a coward shxt, for being weak and unable to do anything helpful when his family was suffering at the hands of those bastards.His family were always been proud of him because he was smart and gifted. But his knowledge couldn't do anything when they were being killed. The only thing he could do that night was to hide and watch them die one by one. The memory was still fresh like it just happened yesterday. The screams of his mom and his grandparents. How his father and older brother tried to fight back. How the sharp knife stabbed his mother's stomach and back multiple times.
