It was a kiss I initiated out of anger. When I came into the club hoping to meet Benson’s daughter and have a one nightstand with her, I figured the little bitch fooled me by disguising her friend, Dawn, as her. Out of anger I kissed Dawn, hoping to quell my anger but no…it didn’t stop there. I began wanting to feel not just her lips again but own her. To possess her. I can’t help it. I can’t stop myself from wanting to possess her. To claim her as mine. So I do what my heart yearns. I stalk her. I bought her heart. I bought her soul. And…at the process she bought mine. But…everything I felt for her. Everything I felt for Dawn changed in one night. In one night I figured a huge secret about her. She’s the girl I swore to kill if I ever set eyes on, if I mistakenly see her walking on earth, alive. Should I revenge against her? To kill her just like I vowed to do or spare her life, especially when she has my seed growing inside her belly? ** When rage, hatred and love collides which one will dominate?
View MoreKartu kunci berkilat di antara jari Meira. Dentingan elektronik pintu terdengar, lalu aroma wangi kayu manis bercampur karpet baru langsung menyergapnya. Lampu hangat dari sudut ruangan membuat bayangan lembut di dinding, memantulkan cahaya di seprai putih yang tertata rapi di atas ranjang king size.
Ia melangkah masuk, meletakkan koper di tepi ranjang, lalu menoleh untuk berterima kasih pada Hastan. Dari jauh, sosoknya saja sudah cukup membuat orang otomatis meluruskan punggung. Letnan Kolonel Hastan Maheswara—usia masih di awal tiga puluhan—memiliki postur yang nyaris sempurna bagi seorang perwira militer: tinggi menjulang, bahu lebar yang mengisi penuh potongan seragam hijau militer, dan garis punggung yang tak pernah terlihat merunduk. Langkahnya tenang, presisi, seolah setiap derap sepatu botnya sudah diatur oleh komando tak kasat mata. Wajahnya bersih, namun tegas—rahang kokoh, hidung lurus tegas, dan alis tebal yang menaungi sepasang mata hitam dingin. Ada sesuatu pada sorotnya yang tak bisa diabaikan: tatapan tajam yang seolah bisa membaca lebih dari yang seseorang ucapkan. Rambutnya dipotong pendek rapi dengan fade tipis di sisi, gaya khas militer, namun sedikit ikal di bagian atas membuatnya tak sepenuhnya kaku. Suara baritonnya rendah, tidak perlu meninggikan nada untuk memerintah, namun cukup untuk membuat siapapun menoleh dan mematuhi. Aroma aftershave segar bercampur samar dengan wangi kulit dari sarung senjata yang menggantung di pinggangnya. Tangannya besar, kuat, dengan urat yang menonjol di punggungnya—tangan yang jelas terbiasa memegang senjata sekaligus mengetik cepat di depan layar komputer divisi sibernya. Dan di balik segala ketegasan itu, ada satu hal yang membuatnya berbahaya bagi hati siapa pun: tatapan sekilas yang hanya bertahan kurang dari satu detik, namun mampu meninggalkan sisa panas di kulit. Hastan berdiri di ambang pintu. Seragam dinasnya sudah terganti dengan kemeja hitam, lengannya digulung hingga siku, ototnya tertarik setiap kali jemarinya meremas gagang pintu. Ada tegang halus di rahangnya, dan tatapannya… seolah sedang menimbang apakah ia akan melangkah atau tidak. “Terima kasih sudah merekomendasikan hotel ini,” ucap Meira, berusaha terdengar santai. Ia menunduk, sibuk mengeluarkan pakaian. Jemarinya mengatur lipatan baju, mencoba mengabaikan rasa bahwa sepasang mata itu tak berhenti mengikutinya. Begitu koper kosong, ia menutupnya. Dan di sanalah Hastan—masih di tempat yang sama, tapi kini bahunya lebih tegap, dadanya naik-turun pelan, napasnya berat namun terkendali. “Kenapa kamu masih di sini?” tanyanya, kening berkerut. Tidak ada jawaban. Hanya langkah yang semakin mendekat—perlahan, nyaris tanpa suara—sampai Meira bisa melihat kilat gelap di matanya. “Hastan, jangan—” Terlambat. Lengan kokoh itu melingkari pinggangnya, menariknya ke dalam dada yang keras. Tubuh Meira terlonjak, tangannya refleks mendorong, namun genggaman itu bagaikan borgol yang hidup. “Apa yang kamu lakukan?!” Suaranya pecah di udara. Dan kemudian, suara itu—dalam, berat, dingin—mendarat di telinganya. “Menuntaskan perbuatanmu padaku… waktu kita sekolah dulu.” Napas Meira memburu. “A-apa? Itu sudah lama… cuma cinta monyet.” Tangannya berusaha memisahkan diri dari lingkaran besi di pinggangnya. “Bukankah aku sudah minta maaf?” Senyum menyeringai muncul di bibir Hastan, tapi matanya… penuh bara yang tak padam. “Tidak semudah itu, kakak kelasku.” Jemarinya terangkat, membelai pipinya. Kulit Meira bergetar di bawah sentuhan itu, napasnya tersengal tanpa ia inginkan. Sentuhan itu turun perlahan ke lehernya, memancing reaksi yang ingin ia bunuh sebelum terlihat. “Meski bibirmu menolak,” suaranya nyaris berdesah, “aku tahu persis di mana titik lemahnya.” “Hastan… jangan,” suaranya melemah—setengah peringatan, setengah permohonan yang bahkan ia sendiri benci mendengarnya. Dalam benaknya, wajah Octavian berkelebat, membuat dadanya semakin sesak. Tapi sebelum ia bisa berpikir lebih jauh, bibir Hastan menutup bibirnya—keras, memaksa—dan seolah mengenang sesuatu yang pernah hilang. Jemari di pinggangnya mencengkeram lebih erat, seakan takut ia menghilang jika dilepaskan. Meira membeku. Otaknya memerintah untuk melawan, tapi tubuhnya… tubuhnya justru mengkhianatinya. Dan di sela desah napas itu, ia tahu satu hal: Hastan tidak akan pergi sebelum ia mendapatkan yang ia mau.*****Epilogue.******Six months later.**The sounds of my laughter file through the air as Yulia fills me in on Dasha’s tantrums. Something the toddler lately developed. I laugh while shoving the food down my throat, feeling more happy and safe than I’ve felt in the past year. All my paranoia vanished and now I’m even adding more weight. Jeez. I never knew I had it in me. However, I’m not eating much as the doctor advised so it'll not make my baby fat in the belly, hence difficulty in giving birth. So, that means what’s making me add weight is happiness. Wow, I never knew it’s possible until I found myself in the position. The last six months have been a water shed in my life. I thought I’d lose my pregnancy after all the torture I went through but no. I got lucky that the doctors staunched the bleeding and saved my child. Now, my belly is out and my child is growing peacefully. Dima has never stopped fussing over me and the baby. Jeez, I never knew the man
>>>>The End.>>>>I’ve been sweeping in and out of consciousness since their last bout of torture. God, my body is nothing but a house of pain. The laser they zap my body with has roped tight my muscles. I whimper, feeling the wetness gathering on my thighs. What is happening? Am I bleeding? With fear, I start to wring on the seat so my shorts will hitch up mid-thigh to reveal the wetness that has pooled in my thighs. While in my struggling process, I hear heavy footsteps edging closer to me and I peer up. There he is, waddling closer to me with a harsh gleam in his eyes. He pauses before me and I stare up at him not wanting him to smell even a string of my fear and despair. Oleg leans closer and cradles my jaw with brute force, rage gleaming in his eyes. I shudder and my inside recoils as his eyes find their way into mine. “Your knight in shining armor is out to get you.” He chuckles darkly. His thumb flicks over my parched lips. I curse him for laying his filthy
****FBI Blacksite.*****It’s hard to take in. My mind has been boggled ever since Mae revealed the truth to me. I still have some doubts. How in hell had Benson been my father without my knowing? It’s strange. It's so difficult to believe but the string of evidence Mae pulled together is foolproof. It wasn’t something she made up. No. It’s real. It’s the truth. Benson is my father. Benson is Oleg Arkadi Kozlov. The man behind my mother’s sufferings. Shit!! I can’t wait to send him into the depths of pain and let death embrace him. Not only had he caused the woman I loved pains by raping her. No, he went as far as to make her life at Vladimir’s estate a living hell. Even when she had found peace during the time Vladimir locked Benson in Volsk, he shortened her moments of happiness with the assassination. He murdered her just to be sure he never see her live a life of fulfillment. How heartless could he be? He not only hurt my mother he also hurt me. He ruined my chi
****Take me as hostage.*****I never once thought something would ever make me anxious in my life. Not even when my mother was shot dead before my eyes. No. All I felt when I saw my mama lying in the pool of her own blood was raw anger. I wanted so much to exert revenge on Vladimir because I tagged him as the cause of our plight. I was never anxious. But…too bad I am now. I’ve been anxious since I figured Faustina is evil. I’ve been anxious since I found out she was behind it all. She threw my rypka to the wolves to devour. My woman is out there pregnant with my seed and without protection. Fuck! I grit my teeth at the gaping realization and shove my fingers through my hair. My mind has been overloaded with the possibility of the conditions she might have been subjected to by now. Shit, I can’t take this. I can’t bring myself to imagine my rypka being tortured. I can’t envision the pain she'd be feeling. I swear to avenge her and my child. But most of all, I pray this very
>>>>>You're Dima's father.>>>>Whispering voices fill the air around me as I wake from my deep slumber. I wheeze a breath but I figure my throat is dry. Totally dry. I try to wet my throat with my saliva but hell, I can barely muster enough to wet my dry throat. Where am I? How long have I been unconscious? All these questions fill my head but I can’t find any answer to it. I try to peer around but darkness falls into my vision. Hell, where is this? It’s more like I have a hood over my head. I try to jerk my hands but I can’t budge. I’m tied. At that, full-blown panic sets in and I begin to whimper, budging the restraints on my hands. “Hmmm…” I hum, seeking answers while I wrack my head for answers on what literally went down.How in hell did I end up here, manacled? With the fierce intensity which I wrack my mind, things start falling into place. The golden mask festival. My flight from Dima’s house to Moscow international airport. My landing in the U.S.
>>>>It's about you and Dawn. I never knew fury can form balls and lodge into one's chest but now I do. I fucking do because the balls keeps rotating in my chest as I punish my Byki more. “Ahhh, Pakhan please!” Russell hoots in excruciating pains as I cut his finger. He was supposed to guard the entrance but the fucker left it open and was smoking pot with some of the soldiers, giving Dawn the opportunity to escape. I fucking never knew she had plans of escape. How in hell was she able to fucking do that? I fist his hair, my jaw sets as I smack Russell hard across the face again. For the past three days, I’ve been teetering on the edge of insanity knowing my woman is out there and can get in the clutches of the wolves. I’ve not in the least bit cleared my head nor closed my eyes because if I do, only images of Dawn with her bloating belly crash into my mind. How could she do this to me? How? The woman has my child with her yet she chose to flee from me. The night of
