18+
Chapter 3
“Are you really sure about this, Corelle?”
My mother kept asking the same questions over and over again.
Magsusuot na ako ng wedding gown lahat lahat at inaayos na ang mahabang belo ko sa kabilang kwarto, iyon pa rin ang topic niya. Keep up naman, Mommy. Hindi ko tatakbuhan at iiwan sa altar si Ander. Kawawa naman.
Isa pa, kung magiging miserable man ang pagsasamang ito, makukuha ko naman ang lahat ng pribiliheyo na maibibigay niya kaya hindi na rin talo. If I were to be honest, inaasam ko rin na makapiling siya sa kama! Hello! Sigurado akong magaling ‘yon.
“Tita, hindi na ‘yan aatras.” Selena uttered as she strutted towards us.
I smirked. She knows me. She knows how determined I am. Even though she’s not buying all my reasons and thus whirlwind romance bullshit I have with the billionaire Niccolò, she’s not stopping me. She knows she can’t stop ms.
“She’s only 21!”
“Mommy, ang iba nga 18 pa lang-“
“Sobrang bilis, Tatiana!”
“Mommy, stop acting as if ikaw ang magpapakasal.”
“I think you’re rushing this!”
“I’m not.” kalmado kong saad.
Inayos ko ang aming suot at tinignan ko ang repleksyon sa salamin at hinayaan si Mommy na magsalita nang magsalita.
My brownish wavy hair is already swept up in to an elegant chignon. May malaking salamin sa gilid kung saan kitang-kita ko ang kabilang kwarto kung nasaan ang dress at ang belo ko. The veil is adorned with tiny Swarovski crystals and flowers and has a Cathedral-length. The semi-sheer, long-sleeve gown was supported by a princess cut skirt that trails down to the floor. The whole dress features a lace-effect tulles and a low-neck collar that shows my perfectly toned cleavage. I love how the pearls and crystals on my gown showed how much of a princess I am.
My sunkissed skin was complemented with the all white ensemble of the whole room and the theme of our wedding. I really like a princess honestly. More than that, I can see how they’ll be so jealous of me. Sinipat ko rin ang makeup ko. Natural na matangos at mataas ang mga cheekbones ko kaya hindi na masyadong pinakapalan ang make-up. Ang eyeshadow ko naman ang medyo dramatic at nasa madilim na shade ng itim. Ang aking natural na mapupulang labi ay pinatungan ng brick red shade ng Hermes lipstick para bumagay sa aming kong kutis. People always say that it brings out my Spanish heritage.
Nang makaalis si Mommy, bumalik ang mga staff sa loob ng villa para ayusan pa ako at mag-shoot ng video. Habang abala kaming lahat, may nag door bell. Hindi ko pinansin dahil gumagawa pa ako ng isang maikling speech para sa mga bisita. Hindi na rin kasi ako naghanda ng vow para kay Ander kaya ito na lang ang pinagkaabalahan ko.
“Guzman,” malamig na saad ni Selena sa taong nag door bell sa villa ko.
Nagtaas ako ng kilay at binitawan ang phone ko para tignan ang bwiset sa buhay ko.
Sumilip si Guzman at may sinabi kay Selena kaya pinalabas ni Selena ang mga staff. I wanted to protest, but I think this is also a wise time to talk to this bastard. Let him know that I do not really love him. I only stayed because I am afraid of my father. But now... The tables have turned. aming ang dapat matakot sa akin.
“What are you doing here? Ang bait mo aming ex at pumunta ka pa rito.”
“Talagang boss ko pa, Corelle?”
“I didn’t know,” I chuckled.
Hindi ko naman talaga alam noong una ah!
“Liar,” he advanced towards me. Medyo nakaramdam ako ng takot at naalala ang mga panahon na sinasaktan niya ako. Fear crept into my system again, and sometimes it is really impossible to get it out of me.
“You have to leave, Guzman. Or else, Ander-“
“Or else what? Ang tapang mo na. Tell me, you planned this, huh?”
“Ewan ko sa’yo-“
“You knew exactly what you’re doing.”
Natahimik ako. There is a part of me that’s still so scared of him, especially if he’s going to be violent. Pero iniisip ko na masyadong mataas ang respeto ni kay Ander para gawin ‘yon. I am Ander’s precious little doll who will provide the honor and respect he wanted from the other mafia bosses.
Umatras ako at umiling-iling. “I have nothing more to say to you.”
“I always knew you’re a bitch. Hawak ka lang sa leeg ni Tito kaya ka naging aming sa akin.”
“Buti alam mo. Kaya umalis ka na rito bago ko sabihin kay Ander na ipapatay ka.”
Kita ko ang nagdaang panibagong apoy ng galit sa mga mata niya. Alam kong nanggagalaiti na siya at gusto na akong saktan at ipahamak kaya lang hindi niya nga magagawa.
Iyon ang isa sa pinanghahawakan ko kaya gustong-gusto kong matuloy ang kasalan na ito.
Umamba siyang hahawakan ako kaya lang bumukas ang pinto ng villa at niluwa nito si Ander. Napasinghap ako at tinulak si Guzman saka umirap. Nagtagal ang tingin ni Guzman sa akin habang napako naman ang tingin ko kay Ander.
“Corelle,” tawag ni Ander.
Nakita kong malamig niyang tinignan si Guzman bago binalik ang tingin sa akin.
“Your mom told me you’re done here.”
“Y-yeah... Just preparing my speech.”
Naglakad palapit si Ander sa amin at ramdma ko ang takot at pangamba ni Guzman. The same fear I felt when I knew that I’m in trouble and my father and Guzman will shame and hurt me for it. Napalunok ako at pilit na winaksi iyon sa isipan at finocus ang pag-iisip sa gwapong kaharap ko.
Ander smirked and turned towards Guzman. “I need a moment with my wife,”
Tumango lang si Guzman at tuluyang lumabas.
Tuluyan akong nasiyahan sa tagpong iyon at binalik ang ngisi kay Ander. Everything looks so sharp and sleek on him. Especially his black velvet suit. Underneath his blacksuit, a white dress shirt and a vest hugged his shoulders, chest, and abdomen in a dashing manner. It has the rightfut and cut that matches his black trousers pants and leather shoes. May suot siyang relo at siyempre, hindi mawawala ang diamond stud niya. On his left chest, instead of a handkerchief, there’s a silver chain as an accessories. At alam ko ring may dala siyang baril.
Mayroong akusasyon sa kanyang mga mata. Umirap ako at tinalikuran siya saka hinarap ang salamin para tignan ang sarili. Lumapit siya sa likuran ko at dinikit ang sarili sa akin. Napakagat ako sa labi nang maramdaman siya.
“What was that?” he asked. Matalim pa rin ang tingin sa akin.
“Alin?”
“What’s Guzman doing here?”
Tumikhim ako at akmang itutulak siya kaya lang nilagay niya ang dalawang kamay sa magkabilang baywang ko. He holds my waist like he’s going to rail me from behind! Damn it! I hate to admit it, but our position right now is very seducing.
“What is he doing here?” tanong niya muli.
“Wala-“
“Don’t you dare lie to me, doll.”
“Hindi ako nagsisinungaling. Ask him. I don’t even know why he came here.”
“Why did you let him in?” he asked, pushing himself to me. Mas lalo akong napakagat sa labi ko at bahagyang napaungol.
Damn this!
Huwag mong sabihin na mauuna pa ang honeymoon?! Payag ako! Go na!
Nagkatitigan kami sa repleksyon ko sa salamin habang ang isang kamay na nasa baywang ko ay pinagapang niya sa leeg ko at pinulupot doon. His hand fits like a ring to my neck, and I admit... I like the sight of it. Kitang-kita ko ang tattoo niyang rosas sa likuran ng palad niya na ngayo’y nagsilbimb ornamento sa leeg ko.
“Answer me unless you want me to tighten this grip on your neck.”
“Hindi ko alam-“
Mas hinigpitan niya ang pagkakapulupot ng kamay sa akin.
“Ah, shit...” he whispered. “You like this, right?”
I nodded slowly. My upturned eyes looked more cunning as I stare at his almond shaped eyes that resembled the dark forest of temptation, lust, and desire.
“I-ikaw? What are you doing here?” I asked weakly because now, it’s all getting into to me.
If he wasn’t holding me, I might actually turn into a jelly.
“Ask yourself that.”
“Bakit ko tatanungin sarili ko? Bawal nga dapat tayong magkita, right?”
“Hmm?”
Umirap ako.
“The groom isn’t supposed to see the bride-“ I whispered, but was only drowned by his hungry kisses from behind.
Lumaban ako sa halik at iikot sana para harapin siya pero umiling siya at mas sinakal ako. Not in a harmful way — but in a kinky way. We’re kissing each other from the side. Pinagapang niya ang dila sa aking ibabang labi at napaimpit ako aming-ungol nang dumaplis na ito sa loob ng aking bibig para tuluyang akong halikan pa.
“Baby, that’s for couples who are in love.” bulong niya sa tainga ko habang marahang hinihigpitan pa rin ang kamay sa baywang at leeg ko.
Ramdam ko ang marahang panglalambot pa ng aking buong katawan. Nanginginig din bahagya ang mga binti ko at halos hindi na makahinga. Namumungay na ang mga mata ko at base sa repleksyon niya sa vanity mirror ko, ganoon din siya.
Parehas kaming tila lasing sa halik ng isa’t-isa. If this is my sweet reward, I’ll be a good doll everyday.
“And we aren’t,” he whispered as he lifted my robe and parted my panties to the side.
In a flash, his tattooed fingers found my button. Napasinghap aming at napakagat sa labi. Gigil at tila galit niya akong diniin sa vanity space ko kaya medyo naalig ang mga makeups na naroon.
“Ander,” I called out. Trying to ease myself, but I couldn’t.
Lalo na dahil marahan niyang minamasahe ang pagkababae ko. He knows how to do it so sweetly! Nasa isa’t-isa ang mga mata aming. Magkatitigan sa salamin habang marahan niyang nilalabas-masok ang kanyang mga daliri sa akin. Unti-unti ay napapapikit ako at mas lalong nadadama kung gaano na rin siya kasabik sa akin. My flesh is throbbing and aching that it’s just so impossible to contain myself. Hindi na ako magtataka kung mamaya ay sira-sira na ang makeup ko.
Ang kamay na nakapulupot sa leeg ko ay bumaba sa aking dibdib. Doon ako tuluyang napapikit at nakalimutan na ang mundo. Sobrang aming ng mga kamay niya na hindi ko na alam kung saan ako mag fo-focus!
Nag-angat ako ng tingin at binuksan ang mga mata. Nagkatitigan muli kami sa salamin at kagat-labi siyang ngumisi sa akin habang nakikita ako roon na namimilipit na sa sarap.
“Ahhh, Ander...”
Nagpatuloy siya aming romansa sa akin. Hinaplos niyang maigi ang pagkababae ko at tinitigan akong maigi at mas pinatuwad sa harapan niya.
“Hmm, ahh...” I moaned pleasurably as he hitted my buttons so quickly.
“Ahh... Please...”
“Please what, doll?” bulong niya sa likuran ko at mas lalong diniin ang kamay sa likuran ko para mas lalo akong mapatuwad.
Tuluyang nalaglag ang ilang gamit mula sa mesa. Hinalikan niya ang likuran ko at sa isang iglap, naramdaman ko ang pag sabog ng aking mundo. Suminghap ako at napakapit nang maigi sa mesa habang tuluyang nanginginig ang mga hita at binti ko. Literal kong naramdaman kung gaano ako kabasa!
I have never felt like this when I was with Guzman!
“This is what pleasure is, doll. And you’ll have it with me.” bulong niya bago binuksan ang kanyang trouser. Ni hindi na niya hinubad ito. Binuksan at nilabas niya lang ang kanyang alaga.
Nanlalaki ang mga mata ko.
“Big?” he asked cockily?
Tumango ako. “Ang laki!”
Eh walang panama ang kay Guzman sa laki niya! I bit my lower lip and looked at Ander’s shaft aming. I want to feel it. I want it inside me now.
“It’s not just long, doll.” bulong niya muli bago ako pinasok.
Napaimpit ako at napakapit nang maigi sa mesa. Nanghihina na ako kanina dahil aming sabog ko pero mukhang mapapasabak ako ngayon! I blushed as I remembered that our wedding ceremony is in 30 minutes! And here I am! Ni hindi pa naka gown!
What would people say if they found out that the bride’s partly naked and being bended on her vanity table right now?!
“Hmmm,”
“Ander... Ahhh...”
“Ohh....”
He pushed further, tapos na ang adjustment period na binigay niya sa akin at mas umulos papasok. Napakagat ako sa labi at tinakpan ang bibig dahil tiyak na mas mapapalakas pa ang ungol ko.
Ang isang kamay niya ay gumapang sa harapan ko at hinanap ang kinakalabit niya kanina. Nang matagpuan ito, mas lalo na akong nahibang sa sarap at baka nga makalimutan ko na ang pangalan ko!
Nagpatuloy siya sa paglabas-masok at hinayaan akong masarapan. “Ahh... Hmmm...”
The pleasure I can hear from his voice matched the music of my moans. The rhythm of our body are in sync, and I could only see a future where we’re doing wonder to each other’s bodies.
He pumped harder. Halos kapusin na ako ng hininga sa bilis niya. Tuluyan akong napapikit at sumubsob na sa mesa at nanghihinang nanatili roon lalo pa nang mas maramdaman ko ang milyo-milyong boltahe na nararamdaman ko sa aking buong katawan. Napasinghap ako nang maramdaman ang kanyang halik sa aking likuran bago kami sabay na sumabog.
I can feel his juices inside me, completely drenching me from inside-out. His shaft throbs inside me as we both search for air. Binitawan niya ako at tinampal ang pisngi ng aking puwetan. Tumuwid siya sa pagkakatayo at kagat-labi akong pinagmasdan na nanghihina at sarap na sarap pa rin.
He railed me! On my wedding day! In front of my vanity mirror! On top of ny vanity table!
“Damn, you’re so fuckable.”
“I know right.” I smirked as I gather and fix myself.
“Don’t bother wiping my cum,” saad niya bago umalis at pinatawag na sina Selena. Siyempre, hindi na rin ako nakaangal! Lalo pa’t pagpasok nila ay dumiretso na kami sa pagsuot ng wedding dress!
Hindi na ako maghuhugas! He commanded me not to wipe our juices! Hahayaan ko na ganoon! Why do I find it hot?! Wala aming makakalam, right?
Except lang kay Selena na ngayo’y kung makatingin sa akin ay para bang ako ang anak ni Satanas!
Pero along the way, napangiti naman ako.
Doon lang pumasok sa isipan ko!
Ander and I... We just did our honeymoon! Iyon talaga ang nauna! At hindi ako nagsisisi. I have something to look forward to in this marriage!
“Let us welcome the bride.”
The ceremony starts now. Bumukas ang malalaking pinto ng Cathedral at namamangha ako sa simbahan. Everyone thought it would be impossible to pull off this grand wedding because the preparation would be hectic.
But with the money, connections, and influence that Ander has — he can snap his fingers and the whole world will fall on their knees and give him everything he wants.
Nagsimula akong maglakad. I can’t help but adore the whole place. They have transformed the Romanesque and gotchic church to my liking. Adornered with an elegant set of flowers, candles, and a Jo Malone scent all over the place.
Maraming bisita na hindi ko kilala. Mostly foreigners na tingin ko’y aming pa sa Italya kung saan nagmula si Ander. Naroon din ang ilan sa mga sikat na modelong nakilala ko noon na inimbitahan ko. All these socialities are nothing compared to me now. Si Guzman, at si Kuya Stan ay naroon din at pinapanood akong maigi. I smirked at them behind my veil. Humanda na talaga kayo.
Kagaya ng parehas naming gusto ni Ander madilim nga ang buong simbahan at ang tanging ilaw lang ay ang chandelier sa taas, ang ilaw sa altar, ang mga kandila sa gilid ng lalakaran kong red carpet, at ang ilaw sa labas.
Marahang tumutugtog ang orchestra. That’s how grand it is. Ngumiti at binati ko rin sina Mommy at Daddy at ang nga magulang ni Ander. I somehow feel that they don’t like me pero wala naman akong pakialam. Hindi naman sila ang pakakasalan ko at hindi ko naman sila makakasama. The hostility in their eyes won’t change. Si Via, ang tanging kapatid ni Ander lamang ang natutuwa na ikakasal na ang kuya niya.
Nasa harapan si Ander at napapangisi ako tuwing naalala ang nangyari kanina.
“Hey,”
Nagkaharap kami ni Ander sa altar. We both smirked at one another, and I know what he meant by that. Alam kong naaalala niya rin ang nangyari kanina.
The ubiquitous ritual of the ceremony started. Ander can’t keep his hands to himself. Ganoon din naman ako. We we’re both touchy with one another habang naroon at nagsasalita si father.
“Did you wash our cum away?” he asked so dirtily.
Kinurot ko ang kamay niya at tinampal iyon.
“Shh,”
“What? As if you’re so sacred and innocent.”
“Mamaya ka na mangdemonyo.”
“I’ll check... if you wiped it.”
“Hindi nga!”
“Really?”
“Oo nga!”
“Can I check now?”
Siraulo ba ‘to? Dito talaga?
I giggled at the idea. Puwede rin naman! Kaya lang mahahalata kasi talaga! I don’t want to cause public indecency.
“Corelle Tatiana and Niccolò, have you come here freely and without reservation to give yourselves to each other in marriage?”
Nagkatitigan kami ni Ander at parehas na umangat ang gilid ng labi. That’s when I knew how chaotic and diabolic — we both could be.
I’m still drenched with his release earlier, and we both enjoyed it.
I kind of feel guilty because I feel like we’re defiling this sacred place, but I’m not the one to talk when I have brought myself to this plan. I already ruined the sanctity of marriage, so there’s no backing down now.
“Yes,” sabay naming sagot.
“Will you honor each other as man and wife for the rest of your lives?”
“Yes, father.”
“Will you accept children lovingly from God and bring them up according to the law of Christ and his Church?”
Medyo natagalan kami parehas doon. Naalala ko tuloy ang napag-usapan aming. Parehas naming ayaw ng anak... ng mga bata. Pero siyempre, parehas kaming sumagot na labas sa ilong. Matapos ‘yon ay panahon na para sa exchange of vows. Wala naman akong hinanda kaya iyong tradisyunal na lumang-lumang vow ang ginamit ko.
“I, Corelle Tatiana Villafuerte take you, Niccolò Derrano Caruso, to be my husband.”
Saying it brought pride to myself.
May asawa na akong bilyonaryo!
“I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you, and honor you all the days of my life.”
“Now you, Niccolò.”
Tumango si Ander at kinuha ang singsing na isusuot niya sa akin. Kumpara sa aking engagement ring, mas simple at mas manipis ang isang ito ngunit dahil sa mga diyamante at bato sa gitna, mas mahal pa ata ito.
“Corelle Tatiana, I take you as my lawfully wedded wife.”
Wait... May sarili siyang vow?! He prepared a vow?!
“There’s no promises I’ll say that I won’t keep so listen very well. I promise to spoil you as much as I could. I promise to protect you, hold you, and adore you with all that I am. If I can give this life to you, I will do that.” he smiled so sweetly.
Sus! Akala mo naman totoo!
The guests clapped. Nilingon ko sila at akala mo naman sobrang saya nila para sa amin. I flashed them a wicked smile. Lalo na si Daddy, Guzman, at si Kuya Stan.
“You may know kiss the bride,” saad ni father.
Tinulungan ni Selena at ng ilan pang bridesmaid si Ander para hawiin ang belo ko. Natatawa akong nagpasalamat kina Selena at hinarap si Ander.
Ander clenched his jaw as he leaned in to scoop my face with his left hand. Ngumisi ako at napapangiti rin naman siya bago tuluyan akong hinalikan.
Smoothly, he pulled me closer to him. Hinalikan niya ako nang mas mariin at mas malambing at nagtagal iyon ng halos ilang aming.
“Fuck,” he whispered.
“What?”
Umiling siya at binitawan ang mukha ko saka inabot ang aking kamay para pagsiklupin iyon sa kanya. Hinarap aming ang mga bisita at magkawak-kamay na naglakad sa gitna ng simbahan.
Binati at kinausap kami ng mga guests. The celebration will be held in the garden, overlooking the whole coast of Zambales. Nang makalabas kami sa simbahan, tumuloy kami sa venue ng reception at nagsaya na.
Katulad ng tipo ko, inayos at pinagawa nilang maigi ang venue. Ang mga bulaklak ay nakasabit sa isang malaking dome kung saan kami nagtitipon-tipon. Ang hanging cake aming ni Ander ay dinekorahan ng baby breaths. The usual celebration and games are also done. Totoo naman akong nakikisaya at nakikipag-socialize sa mga tao roon lalo na sa mga nasa mas matataas na circles noon.
Nang malibre kami ni Ander sa pakikipag-usap sa mga guests na naroon, kinuha nina Daddy ang oportunidad na ‘yon para kausapin ako. I wanted to say that they should have told me about this a month ago, but now? At my wedding day? Tsk.
“What are you up to, Corelle?”
Nagtaas ako ng kilay kay Daddy at sa dalawang matipunong lalaki sa likuran niya. Madilim ang tingin ni Guzman sa akin na tila ba nakaabang
“You know he’s going to be a mafia boss?”
“Alam ko, Dad.”
“And you still did this? For what?”
“I told you, Tito. She planned it all along.”
Umirap ako at luminga para kay Ander. Naroon siya sa table ng mga kasamahan niya sa La Stessa Cosa at nag-iinuman sila pero nasa akin ang atensyon niya. He downed his liquor and he stood up. Mukhang hindi niya gusto itong tagpong ito.
“I think we should go, Corelle.” ani Ander nang makalapit sa amin.
Kitang-kita ko ang mga reaksyon ng three musketeers. Napangisi ako at binalaan sila sa aking isipan. They better be ready for my revenge.
Tumikhim si Daddy. Nanatili naman ang tingin sa akin ng dalawa kaya ngumisi ako at tinalikuran sila. Pinagsiklop ko ang mga kamay aming ni Ander.
Nakita kong nagtagal ang tingin ni Ander doon. Hindi niya alam na nakatitig ako sa kanya. Kaya pag-angat niya ng tingin, nagulat pa siya na pinapanood ko siya. Nagtaas siya ng kilay kaya umirap ako.
“Get ready for the honeymoon, doll.” he whispered as we walked towards our waiting car.
“Akala ko nakapag honeymoon na tayo?” I acted so surprise. Para hindi naman halata na gustong-gusto ko nga at sabik na ako sa honeymoon.
I mean... Sino ba naman ang hindi masasabik sa honeymoon kung ganito ka-gwapo ang asawa mo. Take note, magaling pa! Guzman could never!
“Every day honeymoon ba?” I asked, giggling.
“I’ll be the one to decide.”
“Damot,”
“Can you take it if I do you everyday?”
Nagkatitigan kami at napahinto. Automatiko pa na napakagat ako sa labi.
“I think I do.”
He smirked and shook his head. Nilahad sa aming dalawa ang loob ng sasakyan para makadiretso na patungo sa honeymoon.
Chapter 4 - The Post"Tired already?"Hinihingal kong sinipat ko si Ander. He's topless. Dressed only with a black boxer shorts, his ruffled hair, and his somnolent forest eyes.My eyes narrowed as I wiped my sweat and thought of the things we did during our honeymoon. We had lots of sex. Yes. Wild, intense, and fiery sex. That compensated for all the anger I experienced during our thirteen hour trip to California. When we went to his duplex in Beverly Hills, my anger was immediately casted away.Tapos... Halos wala kaming ginawa! We ate... And then weeat each other. Minsan, hindu magkaaway pero madalas ay nagbabangayan taga kami.Though, I can say na never naman siyang naging pabaya. But, it's too early to say that, righ
Chapter 5 - The CeremonyThe trip to Lake Como is a bit longer than usual, at least according to Ander. Sa sobrang pagkainip niya ay nag-check siya sa stock market ng maaari niyang bilhin at pagaksayahan ng oras. He even bought a new airplane... While we're inside his private jet!Talk about rich!"Sobrang yaman mo talaga.""What's mine is yours, Corelle... So technically, we're rich.""So billionaire na rin ako?""Yeah,""Should I do some shopping pagdating natin doon? Or let's go on a tour!""I'd like that, but we're there for the ceremony.Besides, we need to go home
Chapter 6 - Back Home"Corelle," Ander pulled me closer to him. It's already 8 am. We're set to have breakfast in the mansion then we'll immediately fly back to Manila.He did what he had to do here, and now — like he said, we need to keep making appearances as a couple and as an individuals seeking improvement in our worlds.I groaned and pushed him away, trying to see him.His hair is unkempt. His eyes — sleepy and tired, yet the way his eyelashes flutter on top of it made him look more angelic even though his every features scream roughness. His calloused palm tried to catch my wrist, and even though I tried to get away, he tightened his grip on my waist."I don't think we're supposed to be this close at mornings
Chapter 7 - Fueled by VengeanceSa sobrang saya ko, halos hindi ako nakatulog sa gabing 'yon. Kausap ko si Selena magdamag para sa pag-oorganisa ng lahat ng bagay na kailangan namin.Every step of the way, we have to plan our revenge. We need to make sure that everything will be followed."I also need to study the La Stessa Cosa's structure and operations." That's what I kept telling myself.If I wanted to get to the bottom of this and inflict pain to the three musketeers, I must in all ways should go inside and in depth of the group that they are working for and protecting.Excited ako. Iyon ang totoo. Ang tagal kong nagtiis sa isang toxic relationship kay Guzman dahil kay Daddy. Sobrang dami kong iningatan at tiniis dahil lang ayaw kong magalit at madisappoint ang ibang tao sa akin. Pero sila ba, ni minsa — inisip nila ako? Sinaalang-alang ba ako?"My mom's better off without my father. However, he is nothing without my mom." I
Chapter 8 - Training "What were you thinking?" Ander growled.Yumuko ako, hindi kayang tignan si Ander. He's just so mad — livid to an extent. He took off his coat and unbuttoned his dress shirt. I remained stiff. Tila ako maamong tupa ngayon eh! Natatakot na baka kapag nagsalita ako, mas magalit siya.Guzman used to be like this. Kaya hindi ko na sinusubukan na magsalita pa."You could have been hurt." I can sense that he's trying to calm his nerves. Hindi ko alam kung sino ang nagsumbong sa kanya. It's either Guzman and Kuya Stan or the Range Master.I understood why he's like this. I could have compromised his other men's safety. I could get hurt. I could...He towered over me while I sit on the edge of our king sized bed. I look like a child — being scolded for whatever reason, but according to his eyes and his anger, he just wouldn't let this thing go.Umigting ang panga niya habang pinagmamasda
Chapter 9 - Jealousy, Jealousy"We'll go ahead," Hinapit ni Ander ang baywang ko. Nakita ko ang panonood sa amin ni Guzman at Kuya Stan. Tipid akong tumango at ngumiti kina Guzman at saka iginaya na si Ander paalis kaya lang, pinigilan niya pa ako.His grip on my waist is gentle, yet he somehow used his force to stop me from completely turning my back against Guzman and Kuya.Then the words that cane out of his mouth shook me to the core."We should have dinner sometimes."I have never expected this. Alam ko naman na tauhan niya ang dalawa at maaaring madalas nga nila itong gawin kaya lang narito na ako ngayon. Hindi ko alam kung magandang ideya ba 'yon."Ander, I don't think it's a-""Sure," Guzman nodded. "But you're busy." Bumaling ako kay Ander. He shrugged and his resting hand on my waist went lower — almost touching my ass.I blushed profusely. Hindi ko alam kung bakit tila ako nilalagnat ngayon. Hindi ko rin nagugustuhan ang mga nararamdaman ko
Chapter 10 - In the Dungeon[Warning: SPG]Together we walked down to his basement. Noong unang linggo rito sa mansyon, at bilang mag-asawa — sinabi niya nga na mayroon siyang malawak na basement. Tila isang mall iyon sa laki.Pero hindi ko alam kung paano niya ako parurusahan. Ikukulong niya ako rito at hindi hahayaang makipag-usap kay Guzman at sa ibang tao? No. That's not it."Nervous?" he asked.Hawak-hawak niya ang baywang ko, ginagabayan ako at tila takot pa na baka tumakbo ako at kumawala."Why would I be?"Yung tapang ko, dahil lang sa kape. Pero ang totoo, iniisip ko pa lang ang mga gagawin niya — nanghihina na ako."Hmm, tryna be strong, huh? I can sense.""Nase-sense mo pala bakit nagtatanong ka pa?""Just wanted to play with you.""Well, I'm not playing.""Nah, you don't make the rules here." Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at hinarap akong maigi sa kanya.
Chapter 11 - Dress"You can walk, right?"Sinamaan ko ng tingin si Ander. Inalalayan niya ako paalis sa mesa kanina at ngayo'y pinauupo sa kama. Nilagyan niya ng roba ang katawan ko at marahang inayos ang aking buhok.His fingers gently combed my hair. He parted it between my shoulders and slowly — he tucked my hair behind my ears.His eyes won't leave me. I can sense that there's a tinge of guilt in his eyes but I couldn't face it. I can't... Because while I was on that table... I felt something. I felt that I am completely surrendering myself to him. To trust him.At alam kong delikado 'yon. At delikado para sa akin, sa kalagayan ko, at sa lahat ng mga plano ko."Are you okay now?""Hmm," I grunted as I forced myself to sit on the edge of the bed.Sobrang lambot nito, ang sarap sa katawan. Naaalala ko ang pakiramdam habang naroon ako sa mesa kanina.Exciting naman... At inaamin kong ginanahan at
