Chapter 2

N-NO!

No way!

I screamed no to them but it turned out just a moan dahil sa busal sa bibig ko. The bald man smiled widely.

"Good choice, Mr. Hilton! She's our newest girl here."

I closed my eyes when his eyes bore into me. Dalawang lalaki ang humawak sa magkabila kong braso. Sapilitan nila akong itinayo at sinimulan akong hilaiin palabas. The three men were no longer in my sight as we exited the room. I tried my best to escape.

"Fuck! ’Wag kang malikot kung ayaw mong masaktan!" banta ng isa.

"Kalma, pre! Mapapatay tayo ni Boss kapag pag may nakitang pasa o sugat sa kanya."

"Malikot, eh!"

I used the opportunity to kick the other man's balls at sikuhin sa ilong ang isa. Thanks to Celine for teaching me this. I ran fast as I can hanggang sa makarating ako sa kalsada.

Mukhang dinala nila ako sa isang magubat na lugar dahil sa mga naglalakihang puno. I run and run habang tinatanggal ang busal sa bibig ko pati na rin ang tali sa kamay ko.

"T-Tulong!" sigaw ko.

Oh please! Sana may mahanap akong bahay na may tao. I need a help. I badly need to get out here.

I turn around only to be pulled and pushed into the three. My body froze when the familiar emerald eyes stared murderously at me.

"You think you can escape me." His voice is dangerously cold.

"B-Bitiwan mo ko! You can't just buy me! Hindi ako bagay na bibilhin mo lang para paglaruan!"

He gripped my neck hard that I almost choke. I tried to free myself but he was way too strong. I grasped for air.

"Empty words. You're just a piece of shit that my money can buy. Do you hear me? I can buy you. You're mine and you'll do what I wanted you to do. Escape me and you'll receive not only this but something more."

Bago pa ako makapagsalita, he already put something on my nose. I felt him carry me on his back before I lost the light again.

A DARK room greeted me with just a light in the nightstand. The silence was deafening. Dahan-dahan akong napabangon sa pagkakahiga at inilibot ang tingin sa kabuuan ng kwarto. The room was absolutely huge. It was all white. The sheets and pillows are pure white. The walls is white with a hint of black. There's a balcony with a white curtain too.

Is this my room in heaven?

I rolled my eyes and stand up. Dumako ako sa pintuan at dahan-dahang binuksan iyon. Only to be greet in the silent hallway. The dim yellow light gives the hallway a gold like theme. I continue walking until I saw a grand stairs. I blink at the huge modern chandeliers hanging above.

This is absolutely a mansion!

The ballroom downstairs was decorated with flowers, lilies, roses and more. May dalawang daan naman sa magkabilang-gilid. I was contemplating where to go when I heard footsteps walking down the stairs.

"Escaping again? Well, I'll tell you now that it's a bad idea, sweety. Your boss won't like it." He winked.

I narrowed my eyes at the blond man earlier. Lumapit siya sa ‘kin pero umatras ako kaagad. He frowned.

"Don't be scared. I won't hurt you. I'm Tristan Scott by the way." He flashed a big smile.

"Gu-Gusto ko nang umuwi. . ."

"But you're already home. This is your home, Audry Fernandez from now on and I'm pretty sure you will like here," saad niya.

"N-No. . May bahay ako at hindi ito ’yon! Now, take me back to my house! I don't want here!" sigaw ko.

"Sorry, Audry, but Ace's home is your home now. So if I were you, I would shut up my mouth because the man who own this mansion is a short-tempered jerk. So. . . Wanna let me show you the whole house?"

He wiggle his eyebrow at me. I glared at him and run. He called my name pero ’di ako lumingon. I reached the garden but gasped when I saw men in black suit around the house. Napabalik ako sa loob at isinara ang glass door.

"Haven't I told you that this house are surrounded by hundreds of guard? There is no way you will escape here, Miss Divine."

Napatingin ako sa nagsalita. Nanlisik ang mga mata ko nang makita si Tristan.

"Manahimik ka!" asik ko.

Itinaas niya ang dalawang kamay at bumungisngis. I clenched my fist in anger.

Calm down, Audry. . .Makakaalis din tayo rito.

"Ace isn't here. He told me to keep an eye at you. Are you hungry?" tanong niya.

"Sino ba kayo? What you are people do? Hindi niyo ba alam na illegal ang ginagawa niyo!?" gigil kong asik.

He sighed. "I can answer that but you don't really have to know. Just think that you are a gift presenf I bought for my dearest friend."

"Gift present?! Baliw na ba kayo? Tao? Ipangreregalo mo!?" I exclaimed, horrified.

"Yeah. It's really unbelievable, but Ace need something. . . unique and useful. So, I thought he will like a woman since he was a womanizer. Actually, I was surprised when he choose you because he likes women with experience. And looking at you. I don't think you do. But people change, so I guess he want something different this time," tila walang pakialam niyang saad.

I looked at him terrified. What did he mean something different? I stepped backwards but I stumble when my back hit something behind me.

"Are you done with your questions?"

I gulped when I heard that terrifying deep voice again. Tumayo ako nang tuwid at umatras mula sa kanya. Ngayon ko lang napansin kung gaano siya katangkad. Hes' towering over me. Matatalim ang mga titig niya sa ’kin na para bang may ginawa akong krimen.

"Hey, bro! I thought you were gone all night?" tanong ni Tristan.

"Change of plans," matipid niyang sagot.

He unties his necktie still looking intensely at me. Making me feel nervous. Napalunok ulit ako.

"Do you want me to leave you both?" tanong muli ni Tristan.

I mentally cursed him after he suggested that. Tumango si ang lalaking nagngangalang Ace. Lumabas si Tristan pero sinundan ko siya. Ayokong maiwan kasama ang lalaking 'to!

Ngunit bago pa ako makalapit ay may humila na sa akin.

"He will leave, but you stay, Audry," he muttered firmly.

"B-Bitiwan mo ’ko!"

"You're tied to me so why would I let you go?"

Hindi ako nakinig sa kanya at nagpumiglas sa pagkakahawak niya sa braso ko. He narrowed his eyes before he suddenly lift me up on the table. He stopped between my legs causing my hair to stood up. His deep, emerald, eyes stare down at me. Nanigas ako sa kinauupuan ko nang maramdaman ko ang mga kamay niya sa hita ko.

"I hate people disobeying me. What I told you to do, you should do it. You're not allowed to go outside until you finally accept that you're stuck with me. No body are allowed to touch you like way I wanted to touch you. I hate sharing Audry."

My breath hitches when I feel his breath on my neck. His hands explored my whole thigh up in my waistline.

"I'm the one who's in control here. You're not allowed to ask me where I go. You're not my wife, but my slave. Just my slave. Are we clear?"

"I am not your slave. I am no one's property! At kahit na ipagpilitan mo. Kahit saktan mo ’ko. You can't have me! Never!" I glared at him.

His eyes darkened. I can't sense if he's mad or something. Nakatitig lang siya sa ’kin at hindi man kumukurap.

"You're going to eat your words someday, sweet lady," he said huskily.

His one finger held my chin up. A mischievous smirk appeared on his lips. His finger make its way down to my throat, down to the valley of my chest. I can feel the heat on his touch.

He's trying to seduce you!

It's a trap!

Kailangan mong makaalis dito!

"Because I know one day. . . You will going to beg at me to take you in my room. To fuck you, Audry."

Nagtagis ang mga ngipin ko. "I would rather choose your friend than you!"

Hindi ko alam kung saan nanggaling ang mga salitang ’yon at huli na para bawiin ko iyon.

He slammed his fist causing the glass to break. Nanginig ang mga kamay ko sa kaba. I still don't know what he's capable of. What if he decide kill me now?

"Wrong. Very wrong, Audry. Because I'm better than him. Do you want me to prove it?"

I pushed his chest when he started kissing my neck harshly. I begged him to stop but he kissed my lips next, completely shutting my mouth . I shivered when his hands explore my body. He was about to unzip my dress.

"Boss?"

Hindi siya tumigil na para bang wala siyang naririnig. He clenched his jaw when someone called him again. Napamura siya.

"What?!"

"May problema po."

Humiwalay siya mula sa ‘kin. "Outside."

Hindi na sumagot ang lalaki at umalis na lang kaagad. He stare at me intently once again. The desire is still evident in his eyes.

"We're not yet done, Audry."
