Chapter 2: She threatened Him

He wakes up feeling sudden pain in his head because of too much alcohol he took last night. His eyes were still trying to close back and wanted to sleep again but a sudden movement from his side caught his attention. He slowly removes the quilt covering his naked body. He holds his breath when a tiny and warm body curls under his armpit. 

Bigla siyang bumangon at umupo sa kama at sinilip ang mukha ng babaeng katabi niya. He was shocked while staring at her naked body beside him. The woman is none other than his living nightmare, IVANA HUO! He tried to re-called last night's happenings, he remembered he was drunk and went straight to his room out of so much tiredness and dizziness. A tiny scene of lovemaking flashes in his mind after he remembers what they have done. 

He felt mad at her, realizing that this woman might have a hidden purpose. His devil inside started to awaken while looking at her sleeping soundly. He began to touch her naked body again and gave her several love bites all over her exposed soft skin. 

She felt tiny pain waking up her sleeping mind. She’s still wanted to sleep more and whoever this intruder who disturbed her sleep will get scolded. 

“Hmmm! Who the fuck ----” she was shocked looking at his angered face. 

It was Brielle who is giving her love bites in a harsh way. Dumilat ang mga mata niya at pinigilan ang kamay nito patuloy sa paghawak sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng katawan niya. 

“Brielle! Brielle! Stop it! You’re making me feel disgusted,” she sneered at him.

“Disgusted? It’s you who made yourself cheap in front of me! You got the nerve to stop me from doing what you’ve said last night. Remember your own words, IVANA HUO, you told me you will do everything that I want,” he forced her to spread her legs and he quickly entered her body. 

“Ahh! Hmmm! Brielle, masakit, huminto kana, please?” she’s trying to stop him.

“I will not stop until I get satisfied, after all, I know you will up to something Miss Huo!” he screamed at her while moving on top of her. Giving a hard fuck and humiliated her naked body.

She never moved at all, tears flowed down into her eyes out of so much disappointment. He has no mercy at all and people say he is a ruthless silent devil that crumpled every human that hindered his way. She feels his desire to her body but flashes of anger shown in his handsome face while thrusting hard. Making her feel scared of him. 

She felt the wild demons inside him but she bore all the pain until he finished. He got off the bed, picked her up, and went straight to the shower room. His lust had never ended, under the warm water flowing freely from the shower, he made love with her again. 

Brielle can’t stop his needs after last night. He saw his tears fall from her beautiful eyes but he couldn't get enough of her. Her naked body had several love bites from him and it looked beautiful in his eyes. He knew she was a virgin and only turned eighteen a few months ago. Her body fully blossoms and perfect curves make her look seductive to every man’s eyes. She is the heiress of the company that was built ten years ago. Isa si Brielle sa mga shareholder ng company nila ngunit ayon sa balita biglaang nagkaroon ng malubhang karamdaman ang ama nito habang nasa abroad si Ivana at nag-aaral. 

Batid ni Brielle na maayos ang takbo ng kompaniya kaya tinanggap niya ang proposal ng ama ni Ivana noon ng alukin siyang bumili ng share sa kumpaniya nito. His family business is also huge including several branches in Europe. The main office was located in the central district in Singapore but he decided to build his career in Beijing simply because of Ivana. His Mom and Dad were busy handling each of their businesses and he knew his parents live a happy life. 

Ivana felt so exhausted after what Brielle had done. He brought her back to his bed and put her down. 

“I was surprised to hear you speak Tagalog,” he said while dressing up himself.

“Denise taught me,” she replied, not looking at him.

“Don’t you want to get dressed? You still wanted to seduce me, won't you?” he accused her.

“No, how can I get dressed when you destroy my clothes,” she sneered at him.

Hindi ito umimik at kinuha ang cellphone na nasa ibabaw ng bedside table. Dialing someone’s number. 

“Harold buys a woman's clothes, small size. Make sure it won’t reveal body skin! Bring it into my hotel accommodation,” he hangs up after he speaks to his assistant.

Hindi pa rin umimik si Ivana habang nakikinig sa usapan nila Brielle. Ni hindi siya makatingin ng diretso sa kanya dahil pakiramdam niya galit si Brielle ng mga sandaling ito.

“I know you have something in your mind, speak now, woman!” his loud voice makes her scared. 

“Marry me!” she said directly after she gathered her strength.

“And what makes you think I will be going to marry you? After all, it’s you who broke into my room and offered yourself,” he said in a harsh tone.

“You took my virginity, isn’t it obvious Brielle?”

“Hahaha! Did I force you to give it?” he replied feeling disgusted with her.

She quickly stood up and walked towards the closet inside the room and picked up the hidden camera she set- up last night. Nagtaka si Brielle sa kilos ni Ivana ngunit sinundan lamang niya ng tingin ito. Nakita niyang may kinuha itong maliit na digital camera at muling lumapit sa kanya. 

“Alam mo ba kung ano ang laman nito?” hamon niya kay Brielle at binuksan ang digital camera. 

She started to play the video recorded last night. Narinig ni Brielle ang sound mula sa recorded video that is currently playing. It was their lovemaking last night. 

“Are you threatening me, Miss Huo?” he asked looking at her intently.

“Exactly, Brielle Santillian. You’re smart enough to get my whole idea. As simple as this, you need to marry me as soon as possible otherwise if you refuse me I will expose this video and photos that were on my phone to let the whole world know how ruthless you are running away from your responsibility. Remember, this is China and you’re just a business investor in my own country, if I expose this video and photos it will send you to jail,” she said.

“Do you think I’m scared of it? You’ve forgotten I can prove my innocence since I am a hundred percent sure this five-star hotel is fully equipped with a CCTV camera. You came here on your own and slept with me, who do you think will believe that I force you?” he said in an angry tone.

“You leave me with no option Brielle, I will do what I think could force you to follow my command,” she started to walk back into the closet and put the camera inside her bag.

“Cunning woman, you will regret what you’ve done to me! You win this time. In three days from now my assistant will pick you up and we will be going to get our marriage certificate,” his angry face can’t be hidden.

Ivana felt relieved after hearing Brielle’s words. Her sweet smile was drawn in her pretty face while facing back at him. She knew Brielle can’t refuse her since they were old friends back then. Magkahalong galit at hinanakit ang nararamdaman ni Brielle sa kanya. He silently cursed her and he said to himself he will make her life miserable after they get married. 

He knows Ivana is a spoiled brat like his little sister. Batid niyang magkasama ang mga ito sa London ng mag-aral ng colegio at sinusubaybayan niya ang bawat kaganapan sa buhay ni Ivana at ng kapatid niya. Brielle knew that they’ve been a carefree young woman and mostly do immature actions. 

Ngunit hindi rin niya kayang talikuran ang nagawa niya kay Ivana. Alam niyang wala na itong mga magulang at naririnig niyang nakatira ito sa isang high-end villa na pag-aari ng pamilya nito. Hindi niya lang alam kung bakit nito naisipang i-blackmail siya. 

“Brielle after our marriage I need your help. I know you owned thirty percent of my family’s business. My uncle had taken all my Dad’s share and he declared it last time during my family’s meeting,” she said quickly.

Nabigla si Brielle sa narinig mula kay Ivana. Ngayon naiintindihan na niya kung bakit nito nagawang takutin siya na ipapakalat ang video at photos nila kapag tinanggihan niya ito. 

“I have my condition too. After you have accomplished your plan let’s get a divorce, Miss Huo. I don’t want my parents to know that we are husband and wife. I can’t afford to stay at your side for how many years. I don’t need a disgusting woman who sold her body in exchange for wealth! You highly think of yourself that you cost a billion dollars," his insult comes out naturally from his mouth.

She felt a harsh insult from him but she can’t take back what she said. She loved him so much since childhood but she dare not tell him because he lost her strength to do it. She still hopes after they live together as husband and wife things may go smoothly.  

“Rest assured I will do my part as a wife and serve you well, Brielle!” she said in a sad voice. 

“You can see what I am capable of after you’ve dragged me into this kind of a mess. Hindi ko inakala na ang isang katulad mo kayang gumawa ng ganitong bagay kapalit ng kayamanan. Miss Huo, you will be going to regret this, forcing me to marry you” he said in an angry tone.

Bago pa siya muling sumagot narinig niya ang mahinang katok mula sa pintuan ng accommodation room ni Brielle at bumungad ang Assistant nitong si Harold. Nagulat ito ng makita siyang nakabalot lamang ng towel.

Namumula ang mukha niya at tumungo na lamang siya upang itago ang pagkapahiya. 

“Ahem! Sir Brielle, here is the dress you asked me to buy,” inabot nito kay Brielle ang hawak na paper bag ngunit nakatingin siya kay Ivana. 

“Thank you, Harold! Wait for me at the hotel lobby!” he dismissed him after he saw his Assistant was looking at Ivana.

Mabilis itong tumalikod bitbit ang paper bag na naglalaman ng damit na pinabili niya para kay Ivana, inabot niya ito ng makalapit siya sa kama. 

“Fix yourself and wear it. I will send you home!” he said coldly.

“I don’t want to go back to my family’s villa. Uncle had thrown me away since last week,” she muttered.

Brielle was shocked while hearing what she said. “Pardon? Did you say they throw you out of your own house?”

Hindi ito umiimik at naglalakad patungo sa loob ng banyo upang mag-ayos at magbihis. Hindi sukat akalain ni Brielle na magkakaganito si Ivana dahil alam niyang malaki ang shares ng father nito sa kompaniya. He gets no answer from her because she chose to be silent after she came out of the bathroom.

Nang bumaba sila tahimik pa rin ito at tila walang balak na magsalita. Gusto niyang makaramdam ng awa rito ngunit galit siya sa ginawa nito. Pagbaba, diretso silang sumakay sa kotse ni Brielle, ngunit sadyang pinili ni Ivana na manahimik na lang kesa magsalita. Pagod ang buong katawan at isipan niya ng mga sandaling iyon.

“Send us back to my villa Harold. I will drop Miss Huo first before we head back to our office,” he said quickly after they got inside his car.

“Yes, sir Brielle! Miss Huo, good morning!” bati nito sa kanya.

Tango lamang ang sinagot niya kay Harold. Her eyes flew away from the car window. Ramdam niyang nakatitig sa kanya si Brielle ngunit wala siyang balak na makipag-usap dito. Alam niyang maraming gustong itanong si Brielle sa kanya ngunit hindi ito ang tamang pagkakataon na buksan niya ang anumang problema na kinakaharap niya. Tanging ito lamang ang pag-asa niya at pumayag itong magpakasal sila after three  days.
