Audry's POV
Kinaumagahan, maaga akong nagising. Dahil sa antok hindi ko napansin ang bulto ng isang tao na nakaupo sa may gilid na kama. Napaatras na lang ako ng mapansin ko siya.
"A-anong ginagawa mo d-dito?" Nanlalaki ang mga matang tanong ko sa kanya
He snapped his eyes at me and stare at me intently. Ilang segundo niya muna akong tinitigan bago napunta ang tingin niya sa may ulo ko. Anong nasa isip ng isang to? He's creeping me out.
"Does your head still hurt? I forgot to brought you to the hospital to check that," seryoso niyang tanong
I narrowed my curious eyes at him but he look away. Concern ba sya? Gusto kong tanungin pero ayokong masaktan at ma-disappoint dahil sa paga-assume kaya tumahimik ako.
"O-okay lang ako. Hindi mo na kailangang isipin pa," Diba may trabaho ka? Bakit nandito ka ngayon? Dahil ba nag-aalala ka?
"I'm taking my words back,"
Napakunot-noo naman ako. He's confusing me, real bad. Alam kong hindi naman mahina ang utak ko pagdating sa mga makahulugang salita na kakailanganin ang common sense ko pero pagdating sa kanya, lagi akong naguguluhan.
"Your words? Hindi kita maintindihan...," mahina kong sabi
"I don't want you to work. I need you to stay beside me all the time or here in the house,"
Balak kong magprotesta ng may kunin sya gilid nya. Isa yung ATM card. Napatitig ako doon, nagtataka kung bakit ibinibigay niya sakin yun nang magsalita sya uli.
"I want to accompany you but I need to go somewhere. It's important. Check your head with a doctor. Clark will go with you or Tristan then use that card to buy yourself clothes you're comfortable of. I have to go,"
Hindi na niya hinintay pa ang sagot ko at mabilis na lumabas nang kwarto. He left with so many questions because of his confusing behavior. Napatitig ako sa ATM card na nasa kama.
"But I have enough clothes in my closet and my head don't hurt anymore,"
Napailing na lang ako saka tumayo at pumasok sa loob ng banyo. I took a 10 minutes bath and dressed myself with black jeans, sneakers and white blouse. Inilagay ko ang atm card sa loob ng sling bag ko kasama ang phone saka bumaba. Ace wasn't there anymore but Tristan. Komportable syang nakaupo sa may sofa habang nagbabasa ng magazine.
Napangiwi ako ng makita ang halos hubad ng babae sa cover ng magazine. I was about to call his name nang ibaba niya ang magazine at malapad na ngumiti sakin.
"Oo. Tara na," sagot ko
Iginaya niya ako palabas ng bahay at pinagbuksan ng pintuan. Tahimik lang kami sa buong biyahe. Natigilan lang ko nang mapansin ko ang paglagay niya ng baril sa belt niya. My mouth went dry.
"P-para saan yan?"
"For protection," he wink at me
We reached a well-known hospital at mabilis naman nila akong inaasikaso kaya nakaalabas kaagad kami. Binigyan niya ako ng gamot at nilagyan ng antiseptic dahil medyo sariwa pa saka kami umalis. We next go to mall.
"Any problem?" Tristan
"Hindi ka ba nag-iisip? Baka makita yan ng mga guard or ma-censor ng metal detector! Ayokong makulong," nagpa-panic kong sabi
"Then let them try. We won't hold back," He smirked
Balak ko pa sana syang komprontahin ng akbayan niya ako at sabay kaming pumasok sa loob. Abot-abot ang kaba ko ng tumingin samin ang dalawang guard ng tumunog ang detector senyales na may dala syang patalim o baril.
"Sir pw----,"
"Stop. You're wasting your time. I'm an important people and I had bodyguards over there. Sure they'll have some guns for protection," Tristan
"Pero Sir ipinagba---,
"Makakapasok na po kayo Sir. Tristan," ani ng isang guard na kakarating lang
"Thanks,"
"Papaanong....," I trailed off
I can come up questions because of pure shock. Basta na lang syang pinapasok ng guard kahit na may dala syang baril. Kilala ba sya dito?
Habang naglilibot kami. He keeps talking and talking about things like fashion, cars and parties. Dahil wala naman akong alam sa ganun. Hinayaan ko na lang syang magsalita habang ako ay tahimik lang na namimili ng damit.
I bought jeans, blouse and even accesssories dahil pinilit ako ni Tristan. Nang matapos kami sa pagbili. Inaya niya akong kumain sa isang restaurant dito. Pumayag naman ako dahil gutom narin ako. Naupo ako at siya naman sa harap ko. The waiter come to us right away.
"You're order Ma'am?" Waiter
"A-ahm..."
Napatingin ako sa menu at halos lumuwa ang mata ko ng makita ko kung magkakano ano mga pagkain. It cost an arm and leg!
"What do you want?" Bumaling ako kay Tristan
Tumikhim ako bago nagsalita, "Kahit ano but not seafood,"
"Great!!"
He tell him our orders and get the menus before he went away. Nagsimula na namang magkwento ng kung ano-ano si Tristan. He's so chatty. I was patiently waiting for my order when a voice sends chills in my body.
N-no
Napalingon ako sa babaeng tumawag sakin. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko ng makita ko ang kaibigan kong si Celine.
"Where have you been? Nung pumunta ako sa bahay niyo. Nakalagay doon 'FOR SALE' What happened to you and Tita?" Celine
I felt uncomfortable with her questions. I know her. Once na sinabi ko sa kanya ang ginawa ng amain ko. She surely gonna bomb him. Captain Celine Perez was a soldier with ranks. Napaiwas ako ng tingin at naghanap ng magandang sagot I came up with nothing.
"Ahm mahabang kwento. Ikaw? Wala ka bang...,"
"Day off. Saka matagal kitang hinanap. Saan ka ba nagtatago?" Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay
Celine was also a mind-reader. Saka obvious naman na magaling siya sa baril and combats. She's physically built. She had that strong look and to die for body, coca-cola to be exact. Tumalim ang mga mata niya.
"Celine..,"
"Don't you ever lie on me Audry. May ginawa na namang kagag-han yang amain mo? Tama ba?" She was fuming mad
"Celine! Calm down! Pag-usapan namin sa susunod yan. But wag dito pleaseee," pakiusap ko
She released a breath before turning to me, "Fine. By the way, nag-aalala ako sayo. I miss anyway. Matagal din akong wala sa pilipinas tapos nang umuwi ako doon wala kana. Are you okay?"
Bigla kong naalala na nandito pala si Tristan. Napatingin ako sa kanya. He was smiling at Celine widely. Pero kakaiba ang titig ni Celine sa kanya. It makes me nervous.
Hindi na ako nagulat nang dumikit ang mukha ni Tristan sa lamesa at ang braso ay nasa likod hawak ni Celine.
"WHAT THE HELL!!!" Tristan
"C-celine! Tigilan mo yan!"
Napatigil ang ilan sa pagkain at nagtatakang napatingin samin. Tumayo ako at akmang pipigilan si Celine ng samaan niya ako ng tingin.
"Kilala mo ba tong asungot na to? Sino siya? Wag mong sabihin sakin na nakikipag-date ka isang kriminal!?" Celine
"Excuse me I'm not criminal!" Tristan
"Shut up before I shoot you! How come the guards don't notice the gun on your waist!?" Celine
"Because I'm handsome," Tristan smirk
Nasapo ko ang ulo. Mas lalo lang pinapagulo ni Tristan ang sitwasyon! He's pissing Celine off.
"H-he's my friend. Ginagamit niya lang ay pamproteksyon sa masamang tao! God gracious Celine! Tigilan mo n yan! We're drawing attention!"
"She's right pretty," Tristan
"That only explain everything! Masama syang tao kaya may gustong pumatay sa kanya! Why are you dating this kind of man? He'll do no good at you!"
"Hindi kami nagda-date Celine!"
"Kung ganun. Bakit mo siya kasama?"Celine
"BECAUSE HE'S MY HIRED BODYGUARD! Masamang t-tao si Zandro! B-baka balikan nya ako,"
"Bodyguard?" Celine at Tristan
Pinanlakihan ko siya ng mata. Naka-gets naman kaagad siya at nanahimik. Tinanggal ni Celine ang pagkakahawak sa braso ni Tristan.
"Bodyguard? Saang impyerno mo naman nakuha tong unggoy na to?" Celine
"Nice joke. Kelan pa nagkaron ng unggoy sa impyerno?" Tristan 'tsk'
"Basta!! Mahabang kwento pero ipapaliwanag ko. Okay?"
"You better do," naupo siya sa tabi ko at tinawag ang waiter saka sinabi ang order niya, "I'm hungry,"
Nang umalis ang waiter dumaan ang mahabang katahimikan ng magsalita si Celine.
"Leave," Celine
"H-huh?" Tanong ko
But she's not looking at me. She was looking at Tristan who has a bored look in his eyes.
"Why don't you leave?" Tristan
"I said leave. We're talking a very serious thing at masyadong nakakairita ang mukha mo para mag-usap kami sa harap mo. Now, leave," Celine
"Make me pretty," Tristan smirk
Tristan! Mayayari ka talaga sakin mamaya!
Celine just smirk. Mas lalong lumaki ang ngisi nya ng matigilan si Tristan. Nanlalaki ang mga mata nya.
"W-what the hell? Y-you're not going to s-shoot me! I'll gonna sue you!" Tristan
"Make me monkey," Celine
Doon ko lang napansin ang pagtutok ni Celine sa hita ni Tristan ng baril para di makita ng iba. Hindi ko maiwasang matawa sa gulat na ekspresyon ni Tristan. Wala syang nagawa ng paalisin sya ni Celine at pinag-cr muna para makapag-usap kami.
"Explain!" Celine
I knew it
Nagda-dalawang isip ako kung sasabihin ko ba sa kanya ang totoo o hindi but I decide to tell her half of the truth.
"My mother gave all our wealth to him including the house......, since he own that now. Ayaw ko nang tumira sa bahay na hindi naman akin. I'm hurt and disappointed dahil sa ginawa ni Mama but I already accepted it. She let herself get blinded by her love for him. Kaya umalis ako doon. Now... I'm living with....my b-boyfriend. Y-yeah. Sya ang nagbigay sakin ng bodyguard...b-because... He..care for me. Nandun ako sa kanya ngayon," sagot ko
Boyfriend?
That simple word send tingles to my stomach. What does it feel to have a boyfriend like him?
"Boyfriend? Really?" Celine
Huminga ako ng malalim, "He won't hurt me. Tulad ng ginawa sakin ni Rexel,"
"Paano ka nakakasiguro na hindi ka iiwan sa ere ng lalaking yan kapag nakuha na niya ang gusto niya?" Celine
"I don't know. All matters to me is I trust him,"
At hindi naman niya ako iiwan. Dahil wala namang kami para gawin niya iyon.
I'm simply his slave
And my future depends on his hands not me anymore
Because He owns me
Audry's POVNapakibit-balikat na lang sya. Nakasimangot na umupo sa harap namin si Tristan at masama ang titig kay Celine. She seems not to mind. Sakto namang dumating ang pagkain namin. I was eating wholeheartedly nang magsalita si Celine about someone I totally hated. "Umuwi na si Rexel galing sa US finishing his project. He's being successful now and I hating it, honestly," ani niyaNapahinto ako at saglit na napatitig kay Tristan. Mukha namang wala syang paki. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag. Ayokong makaabot to kay Ace. Baka isipin niya na may interes pa ako sa lalaking yun.Ano naman sa kanya kung meron nga?"Wala na akong pakialam sa kanya," mahina kong sabi
"Damn! I can't help it,"With just a second I was on his lap kissing me hardly. I was facing him. I can feel him harden in the middle. He lay me on the seat and kiss me down at my neck."Don't be so beautiful,"I gasped when he pulled me closer and put my leg around his body. Bumalik ang mga labi niya sakin and I felt his hands on my sides touching some part of my breasts down to my waist and hips. I moan the delicious pattern he was doing. My moan gets louder when his rough hands cupped my breasts and massaged it."A-Ace.... Oh my....,"Feeling his big bulge making me ache for him more. I want more. I want him. Napakapit ako sa balikat nya ng lumipat ang mga kamay niya sa hita ko. He was caressing my thighs while slowly getting up to my feminity
AUDRY'S POVHis fingers were drawing delicious circles in my skin. I can't help it. I was absentmindedly moaning his name. I tighten my hold in his shoulder when his kisses went down in my breast bare flesh."A-ace... Oh my....,"He's obviously taking his time when he put his lips back to mine again and kissed me and I kissed with the same passion. The heat I'm feeling was going stronger and wilder when I feel his hands on my bra's hook. Pero hindi niya iyon tinanggal at bumaba ang mga kamay niya sa hita ko. He caressed my thighs and stopped.Napaawang ang labi ko at nagtatakang napatitig sa kanya. I am about to ask him, why when I my bra fall into my lap. H-how didn't I even notice it? I closed my eyes and feel his warm tou
Celine's POV"Meeting dismissed!"Finally! Natapos din ang napakahabang report, Hell! Day off na day off sesermunan ako. If I could only go scream at him, I'll do. Tumayo ako at lumabas sa tent. I fixed my clothes but I felt a pair of two eyes. I sighed."Look so pretty Captain Perez," He smirkedKung katulad ako ng ibang babae I'll probably swoon to this stupid asshole pero ISANG MALAKING HINDI Playboys must better know where they should put their d-cks when it comes to me! Bago pa nila ako sabihing gusto nila ako. I already knew it! Hindi nila ako maloloko! I'm smarter than what they think."One step at sasabog yang nguso mo," banta koI touched the gun in my belt. He show me again that disgusting smirk and eyes filled of fake amusement!
Celine's POVOur nose were touching at malaki ang mata na nakatitig ako sa walanghiya. Biglang naningkit ang mga mata ko at walang sabi-sabing sinipa sya.Sa parteng pinagmamalaki niya."What the f-ck!! Urghh!! Sh-t! Sh-t!"Namilipit siya sa sakit habang hawak ang pagkakalaki niya. I smirked. You deserve it assh-le you breaking into my house and hovering me.F-cking pestering me. Duh."You're a hormonal jerk. You know that?""Damn!!! Kapag ako nabaog!"I narrowed my eyes at him. So what kung mabaog ang g-gong to? At least hindi na kakalat ang lahi ng mga babaero at baba ang bilang ng mga babaeng nasasaktan
Audry's POV"Let me handle it,"He stared at me for a moment bago ako marahan na hinalikan ang labi ko. I'm expecting him to do more but to my suprised he didn't. He stopped kissing me and just stared at me again for a moment. I looked at him curiously. But what surprised me more was him giving me his very rare smile.A genuine smile"You're so special Audry. You don't deserve this. I don't deserve a woman like you. I did you wrong yet you're here offering to fix me. If I were to take you, it's now but somewhere special to show you how much you make me happy tonight. You make me happy just confirming me that you wanted to stay," RavenceMy heart jump in his speech. Bago pa ako makapagsalita dumampi na ang mga labi niya sakin. Napapikit ako at dinama ang labi niya. He kissed me passionately. So slow and soft unli
She's a GIRL!"A-anong kailangan mo sakin?!" I stepped backwardShe pulled me in one of the cubicles at pinaupo ako sa inidoro. I gasped when she point her gun at me. W-who is she? Anong kailangan niya sakin?"Who are you to the Mafia Boss?" She asks sharplyMafia boss? Si Ravence ba ang tinutukoy nya? Hindi ko siya kaagad nasagot at napapikit na lang. Nanatili akong tahimik dahil hindi ko alam ang isasagot ko. Questions filled my head.Ano nga ba kami?We're sure we are not friends anymore and I'm not that slave. He said I'm special to him at wala naman syang sinabi na gusto niya akong maging girlfriend. So honestly, there's no "us""Well. I see. Ravence Hilton found another sex to
Audry's POV"What the fuck?" mura ni CelineShe throw daggers at me. Napaiwas naman ako ng tingin. Paniguradong sinasakal na niya ako sa utak niya ngayon. I don't really mean to brought her here pero ang kulit kasi ni Tristan eh."Ahmm...""You never tell me the party will takes place in the house of this moron's house FERNANDEZ!" Celine hissed in annoyanceNanlilisik ang mga matang tumingin siya kay Tristan na parang hindi naapektuhan sa sinabi ni Celine."Ohh! That's cruel, baby. Don't blame her because I'm the one who insists her to come," TristanThis man! Parang proud pa siya na sabihin sa iba na kinulit niya ako para lang mapapayag ko si Celine na sumama sakin."Shut up! You dickhead! You're getting into my nerves!"Tristan seems not to be affected. He just smirked, "At least you're still wa
I took a deep breath before looking at myself in the mirror. My eyes water again when I scan my wedding dress that suits me perfectly."Don't you dare cry, Fernandez. Kung ayaw mong kumalat 'yang eyeliner mo," banta ni Celine.Natawa ako. Humarap ako sa kanya at mahigpit siyang niyakap. It's been three months since that day. Nasa kulungan na ang stepfather ni Ravence na si Nathaniel. Thanks to their teamwork. Wala nang chance para makatakas ang matanda.I thank them dahil kung wala sila rito, malamang na magulo pa rin ang buhay namin. Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na ikakasal na ako kay Ravence, sa taong mahal ko and I have our baby in my tummy who's going to be our life and our new beginning."Kailangan na po natin
Ravence was so confused nang sabihin ni Blake na ang dalaga kusang sumama. Naliwanagan lang siya nang makausap si Clark.Audry believes on him. Naniniwala ang dalaga na maliligtas niya ito. Kung kaya't sumama ito ng kusa.Napapikit siya. His Audry. . . His baby. . . Kapag may nangyaring masama sa mag-ina niya. Hinding-hindi niya mapapatawad si Margarette."I got their location, Sir!" Blake shouted.Mabilis siyang napamulat ng mga mata. Tinungo niya ang puwesto ni Blake. Nakita niya ang paggalaw ng pulang marka sa screen ng computer. Ang pulang iyon ang naprepresinta ng lokasyon ni Audry.He secretly put a tracking device on her bracelet. Hindi kasi siya mak
We are cornered. Alam kong nahihirapan magdesisyon si Clark. He promised Ravence to protect me nginit sa sitwasyon ngayon. Kung hindi niya ako ibibigay. Sabay kaming mamatay ng babaeng 'to. Napapikit ako ng mariin. There's no other choice. I don't want to die. Gusto ko pang makita si Ravence. Gusto ko pang makasama ang anak namin. Hinila ko ang braso niya dahilan para mapatingin siya. Bakas sa mata niya ang pagtataka. "I'll go with her. Alam nating ito lang ang paraan," mahinahon kong saad. "No, Miss. It's dangerous," mariin niyang saad. Determinado ko siyang tiningnan. "It's more dange
"I won't kill my brother. Your evilness ends here today because I won't follow your steps," mariing sambit ni Troy. Ngumisi ang kanyang ama. Kita niya sa mga mata nito na tuluyan nang nilamon ng galit. He knew that he couldn't save his father anymore. Kaya ito na lang ang kaya niyang gawin para rito. "How sure are you, huh, son? If you found out your woman betrayed you—" Troy cut him off. "I will break up with her. It'll surely hurt but not enough to abuse a child." "Liar!" asik ng ama. Mas lalo lamang nag-aalab ang galit. "Just admit that your reasons are not valid to justify your wrong doings. Sign the papers and we're over here. I'm not gonna l
AudryHindi ako nag-iwas ng tingin nang malaman niya na hindi ako nagbibiro. I am not backing down. May paraan pa para maresolba ang problema nang hindi kami naghihiwalay.Umigting ang mga panga niya at dumilim ang mga mata."You won't do that," mariin niyang saad."Gagawin ko kung pipilitin mo kong sundin ang gusto na ikaw lang ang nagdesisyon," mariin kong saad. "Sa tingin mo ba ikakaligtas ko ang pagpapadala mo sa 'kin sa U.S? Kayang-kaya nila akong sundan doon. If they're determined to use me against you. Susundan nila ako saan man ako magpunta."Marahas siyang napabuga ng hangin saka nag-iwas ng tingin.
Ravence frowned when he received a call. Dumiretso siya sa garden ng bahay ni Celine at saglit na sinagot ang tawag habang hinihintay si Audry. "What is it?" "Sir! We saw Miss McClure just arrived a few minutes ago at your stepfather's doorstep. I'm afraid she's up to something. We heard them argue." Napamura siya sa isipan. "That bitch won't really stop messing with my life. Where is she now?" "On your location, Sir." "God Dammit! Why didn't you tell me earlier!—" "Sir! Your father's men were scattered around your mansion just now! We're under attack!"
Hinatid niya ng tingin ang dalaga hanggang sa makaayat ito sa taas. Tumayo siya saka muling pumasok sa kusina. Seryosong mga mukha ang bumungad sa kanya pagkapasok."We all knew we can't stay like this," Celine stated.Ravence released a silent sigh before sitting down. Maraming naglalaro sa isipan niya but Audry's safety is on top of everything.He'll make sure that this war will end very soon though it won't be that easy. Dalawa ang kalaban niya rito at ang isa sa kanila ay hindi madaling mamatay dito sa mundong ibabaw.He can't just leave Nathaniel for Celine to handle like what they'd agreed before at his rest house. Because that McClure pest is tough to handle alone. That crazy witch will do everything to get w
Lumamlam ang mga niyang tumingin sa akin. Marahan niya akong hinila at niyakap. He don't need to say anything. Nararamdaman ko na sa yakap niya ang gustong iparating. Nakita ko ang paglapit ni Troy sa amin. Hindi niya na kasama si Rexel. Kumalas ako ng yakap nang makalapit si Troy. Ravence also looks at him. "What did you to him?" Bumalik ang pagkairita sa boses ni Ravence. "I disposed—" Napatigil siya sa pagsasalita nang lumaki ang mga mata ko. "I mean, I brought him to the nearest clinic." Nakahinga ako nang maluwag. I'm mad at Rexel but I am not that heartless para hayaan na may mangyaring masama sa kanya. Hinawakan ni Ravence ang kamay ko at hinila ako papasok ng bahay. Sumalubong sa amin si Celine.
"Take your hands off me, Rexel. Wala na tayong dapat pag-usapan. Matagal na tayong tapos!" naiinis kong wika. It irritates me to see him act like this na para bang ako ang nang gamit at nang-iwan. Because the last time I checked, siya ang nanloko at umalis kung kelan kailangang-kailan ko siya. Nakita ko ang pagdaan ng sakit sa mga mata niya ngunit hindi ko magawang makaramdam ng awa. Nangingibabaw ang galit ko sa kanya no'ng iniwan niya ako. I gave him everything he needed but he left the moment he got what he wanted. Money. . . Pakiramdam ko tuloy parang ako si Mama na nagpakatanga sa lalaki na pera lang naman ang habol. Akmang hahawakan niya ang kamay ko nang sampalin ni Troy ang kam
