Lorraine's POV

(.... Continuation)

"Ang asawa mong si Brando ang nag-imbita sa kanya...nalaman niya kasing nasa Pilipinas na itong si Mark. Kaya ngayon ay nandito siya sa bahay niyo..."

What the h*ll in the world is going on here?

He's the distant cousin my aunt has been telling me?

What the....

Did I just f*cked my own cousin?

No, that wasn’t possible.

My lips parted slightly.

"Sige. Ikaw na muna ang bahala rito sa pinsan mo. Asikasuhin mona muna.." dagdag ni Auntie at bigla itong tumalikod sa amin.

Bumalik na siya sa loob. Habang ako ay halos hindi pa rin makagalaw sa kinatatayuan ko.

"We're that close though...so don't think od me as your cousin," rinig kong bulalas ni Mark sa harapan ko. At doon lamang ako bumalik sa reyalidad.

“What?”

His expression remained steady, though his voice dropped lower.

“Distant side of the family,” aniya. “Very distant. But still enough that I’m pretty sure our grandmothers used to fight over inheritance and land during reunions.”

I stared at him.

The world around me suddenly felt too warm.

Too small.

“No,” I whispered, shaking my head. “I would remember.”

“Would you?”

That made me pause.

Because....would I really remember him?

There were so many relatives.

Too many names.

Too many faces from childhood gatherings I barely attended.

Weddings.

Funerals.

Holiday reunions I spent trying to avoid.

He tilted his head slightly.

“You were younger then,” he said. “More talkative, if I remember correctly.”

My mind scrambled.

Fragments.

Nothing clear.

Just vague impressions.

Summer heat.

A big ancestral house.

Children running around.

And maybe that what him. The boy who looked so calm...it annoys me. He was just watching everyone else instead of joining.

My eyes widened.

“You…” bulong ko sa kawalan.

Muling sumilay ang isang nakakalokong ngisi sa kanyang labi..nang makita niya ang aking ekspresyon.

“Now you rremember me."

“Oh my God.”

The words escaped before I could stop them.

I stepped back immediately, horrified.

Hand flying to my forehead.

“This cannot be happening.”

“Well,” he said dryly, “it already did.”

I shot him a glare. “This isn’t funny!”

“I’m not laughing," usal niya at ngayon Aya seryoso na muli ang mukha.

Panic started crawling up my throat.

Out of all people.

Out of everyone in this city..why does it have to be him?

I dragged a hand through my hair, pacing once.

“This is insane,” asik ko. “Why didn’t you say anything that night?!”

He actually looked mildly offended.

“You think I recognized you in a dimly lit beach resort after several years and one emotionally questionable proposition?”

Unti-unting bumukas ang aking bibig. Ngunit agad din iyong sumara nang walang kahit na isang salitang kumawala.

“F*ck...." I hissed.

“On that,” he agreed calmly, “we finally have common ground.”

I stared at him.

Then groaned quietly, covering my face.

“Please tell me no one else knows.”

“Relax,” he said. “No one knows.”

A beat.

“Yet.”

My head snapped up.

“Mark....." puno ng pagbabanta kong angal sa kanya.

He lifted both hands slightly.

“Kidding.”

I narrowed my eyes. “You have a terrible sense of humor.”

"Don't you think...having me here means something?" tanong niya bigla.

Bahagyang naningkit ang aking mga mata at mariin siyang tiningnan. His eyes lit up, then slowly...he crossed his arms as he straightened up his posture.

"You can use me against you husband?" patanong niyang sambit.

Kumunot ang aking noo at umiling sa kanya. I don't understand exactly what he meant with those words.

"I will explain it, Lorraine..." usal niya sa mababang tono. At bago pa man ako makakilos ay bigla siyang humakbang papalapit sa akin.

"W-What are you doing?" nauutal kong tanong habang pinagmamasdan siyang lumalapit sa akin.

Suddenly...his arm extended, reaching for my wrists then he pulled me and I slammed into his body.

"Mark!!!" I yelled at him, but he only chuckled and brush the back of my head.

"Shh...gusto mo bang marinig tayo ng mga bisita?" aniya...at parang may kung sariling utak ang katawan ko at kusa itong tumahimik.

Hindi ako nagsalita.

Not until I heard footsteps approaching us. That was when I panicked.

"May tao---"

"That's your husband and your stepsister...." putol niya bigla sa akin.

At halos napatili ako sa gulat ng walang kahirap-hirap niya akong inangat papasok sa isang cubicle. Naramdaman kong tumama ang likuran ko s malamig na pader, napapikit lamang ako at sa mga sandaling iminulat ko ang mga mata ko...at halos mahigit ko ang aking hininga nang magtagpo ang mga mata naming dalawa.

"Mar--"

I wasn't able to finish my words when his lips crashed on mine.

"Let's do it again...just think that you don't know me."

TO BE CONTINUED.....

    Lorraine's POV "Hmmm, it's been a while, Lorraine. What about we do it again?" My eyes twitched. "Siraulo ka ba?!" mariing tanong ko sa kanya hindi siya kaagad sumagot at nginitian lamang ako. Ilang sandali pa ay umangat ang kamay niya, dahan-dahan iyong gumalaw hanggang sa tuluyan itong dumapo sa aking balikat na agad ko namang winaksi. "Lumabas ka, Mark..." utos ko. "Ayoko." "Sinabi ng lumabas ka!" pabulyaw kong pag-ulit at doon siya muling napangisi.Mula sa mga mata ko ay bumaba ang tingin niya patungo sa aking katawan. I saw him staring at my body, especially on my chest for seconds before he lifted his gaze up—back to my face."Paano ako lalabas kung ganito ka ganda ang tanawin rito sa loob?" banat niya sabay iminuwestro ang katawan ko. Hindi ko alam kung ano pa ang dapat kong sabihin para mapaalis niya...kaya bago pa man ako tuluyang masiraan ng bait at mabilis akong tumalikod sa kanya, dala-dala ang pajamas na kinuha ko sa closet at dumiretsyo sa loob ng banyo up

    LORRAINE’S POV The headache started before I even left the office. Maybe because of the meetings. Maybe because of the investors. Or maybe because Mark had successfully ruined my peace again earlier. I loosened a tired breath while gathering the last few documents on my desk before slipping them inside my bag. Outside the glass walls of my office, the city was already glowing beneath the evening lights. Habang nasa opisina ako...iniisip ko kung ano na naman ang maabutan ko mamaya sa bahay pag-uwi ko? kaya minsan talaga ay gusto ko na lamang rito manatili sa opisina, kaysa umuwi roon at mas lalo lang sasakit ang ulo ko. But eventually, I still found myself walking through the mansion doors nearly an hour later. The house was quiet again. And for some reason, that silence made me lower my guard slightly. I removed my heels near the entrance before rubbing my temple tiredly. God… I just wanted water. Then sleep. Nothing else. Without bothering to turn on more lights, I he

    MARK’S POV The moment I stepped downstairs, the faint sound of movement immediately led me toward the kitchen. Soft lights illuminated the marble counters. And sitting casually on one of the stools near the island was Flora. Mag-isa lang siya roon at maya-maya pa ay unti-unti siyang napalingon sa akin ng mapansin niya ang presents ko. Then slowly...she smiled, sweetly at me. Kagaya ng kung paano niya nginingitian si Brando kapag nakikita niya ito. “Well…” mahina niyang sambit habang inilalapag ang wine glass na hawak niya. “Looks like I’m not the only one still awake.” I ignored the tone in her voice and walked straight toward the counter instead. Honestly, I wasn’t in the mood for her games tonight. I grabbed a glass from the shelf before pouring myself water. But before I could even take a sip, I suddenly felt movement beside me. Then warmth. Flora casually wrapped both hands around my arm and leaned against me without hesitation. Close enough that I could f

    MARK’S POV By the time I got back to the house, it was already past 9:30 in the evening. I stepped out of the car and glanced toward the massive mansion standing beneath the dim outdoor lights. Usually, at this hour, I’d already hear something from inside. Pinaghalong halakhak ni Flora at Brando, kasama ang mga bisita nila. Pero ngayon ay masyadong tahimik ang paligid. I loosened a breath before walking toward the entrance and unlocking the door myself. And the moment I stepped inside, silence immediately greeted me. No footsteps. No conversation. No sound from the television. Even the living room lights were dimmed. My brows furrowed slightly. “Either they’re asleep…” bulong ko habang unti-unting hinuhubad ang relo ko. “Or doing something disgusting upstairs again.” Honestly, with Brando and Flora? Could be both. I tossed my car keys onto the center table before walking toward the staircase. A faint exhaustion sat heavily on my shoulders now. Visiting Gabriel always did

    MARK'S POV(... Continuation) I could still remember the sound of that explosion....it still lived somewhere inside my head no matter how many years passed. I blinked once before looking away from the pictures. Gabriel noticed me. “You’re thinking too loudly again,” he muttered while tossing me bottled water. I caught it easily. “Didn’t know that was possible.” “With you? Very impossible..." asar niya, ngumisi lamang ako. I twisted the bottle cap open before leaning against the kitchen counter. Then finally asked, “How have you been?” Gabriel shrugged once.“Therapy helps....bukod doon ay masyado ring makukulit ang mga inaanak mo kaya kahit papaano ay hindi ko na masyadong naiisip ang senaryong iyon," aniya, mababa ang boses ngunit may bahid ng ngiti sa kanyang labi. And that answer alone told me enough. PTSD never really disappeared. Not after Iraq. Not after losing the people who become a part of your life...your journey. You just learned how to carry it wit

    MARK’S POV The moment I stepped out of Lorraine’s company building, the smirk on my face slowly faded. Not completely. Because despite how entertaining it was to tease her there was still something sitting heavily at the back of my mind. Something I couldn’t ignore. I loosened a breath as I unlocked my car and slid into the driver’s seat. Then a few seconds later, the engine roared to life. The city blurred past me quietly while one hand rested against the steering wheel. Traffic. Noise. Sunlight reflecting against glass buildings. Masyadong normal ang araw na ito sa isang katulad ko na sanay sa magulo at maingay na kapaligaran. Kasi ang salitang katahimikan ay nakakatakot kapag nasa militar ka. Pero ngayon ay iba...kasi tahimik nga ang paligid, pero hindi naman ang utak ko. I kept replaying Lorraine’s face inside that office. The way she looked at me when I cornered her against the wall. The way she froze when I told her I’d willingly submit to her instead.

    LORRAINE’S POV “I would willingly submit to you, Lorraine…” His voice was low. Steady. Dangerously calm against my skin. “I will let you control me,” dagdag niya habang nananatiling nakahawak sa aking panga. “Hahayaan kita sa kahit anong paraan na gusto mo.” My breath hitched. D*mn him!!! N

Aminado ako na naging magulo na lahat sa buhay ko ng magdesisyon ang mga magulang ko na ipakasal ako kay Brando. Lalo na nang i

    MARK’S POV The silence inside the car was almost amusing. I glanced at the rearview mirror again and there I saw her. She was quietly sitting on the passenger seat with her arms crossed tightly against her chest, her face turned toward the window as if the passing streets outside were the most i
