Kabanata 5

AJAX'S POV

I can't help myself from smiling while looking at her angelic face. She looks so surreal. Kahit tulog ay maganda pa rin ang mukha niya.

I closed my eyes tightly when my eyes travelled down to her red lips. Damn! mula sa pagmulat ko ng mata ay nakailang nakaw na ako ng halik sa kanya at ayoko nang ulitin pa iyon lalo pa at wala siyang kamalay malay sa nangyayari sa kanya.

Hinawi ko ang ilang hibla ng buhok na tumatabing sa maganda niyang mukha. Hindi ako makapaniwala na nasa tabi ko lamang siya ngayon. Bigla ko tuloy naalala noong una ko siyang makita sa eksaktong bar na pinanggalingan namin kagabi.

I was in a total state of confusion that time because of Maureen so I decided to drowned myself in alcohol. I hate myself for still loving the woman who keeps on breaking me yet there I was, trying to persuade her to get back to me for God knows how many times already. Maureen was the love of my life, she was everything to me not until that Rockwell bastard steals her away from me.

We used to be bestfriends, Harper Rockwell and I. He was my best pal and brother but he just broke our bond when Maureen cheated on me with him. Halos mapatay ko siya ng maabutan ko sila sa akto. It was a nightmare for me. Doble-doble ang sakit na naramdaman ko nang malaman kong ang dalawang taong pinaka malapit sa akin ay tinatraydor na pala ako.

Ngunit kahit anong galit ko kay Maureen ay hindi ko siya kayang mawala. I forgave her just to get her back in my arms again but she chose Harper over me. Mahal niya raw kami pareho pero mas pinili niya ang traydor na 'yon. It made me mad even more. Halos gabi-gabi akong pumupunta kila Maureen para magmakaawang piliin niya ulit ako pero hanggang ngayon ay naghahabol pa rin ako. It's been three years since she dumped me and I still haven't move on since.

At nang gabing iyon ay tumawag siya sa akin. She wanted us to meet and I gladly accept her invitation. Nang magkita kami ay agad niya akong niyakap at hinalikan na siyang ikinatuwa ko. I thought she'll get back to me this time but she didn't. She was drunk that night.

"I love you Ajax, I never stopped loving you." she said while caressing my face. She attempted to kiss me again but I withdraw my face from her hands. Parang musika sa tenga ko ang mga sinasabi niya ngunit mahirap paniwalaan ito gayong nakainom siya.

I let out a sigh before facing her again.

"You're drunk baby, let's get you home."

"No! I want you. Please Ajax I missed you so much." napikit ako ng mariin sa sinabi niya. Kailangan kong labanan ang sarili ko na angkinin ulit siya dahil sa estado niya ngayon. I don't want to take advantage of her. Bakit ba siya naglalasing ng ganito? Nag away ba sila ng gagong 'yon kaya siya nagkakaganito ngayon? I know Maureen, she's not much of a drinker unless she have a problem.

"I missed you too baby, you don't have any idea how much I've missed you." ani ko sa kanya. She smiled dreamily before leaning his head on my chest.

"Mahal pa rin kita Jax, mahal pa rin kita." ulit pa niya. Ngunit imbis na masiyahan sa sinabi niya ay umigting ang panga ko ng maalala ang papel ko sa buhay niya ngayon. Kung mahal niya ako ay dapat ako ang kasama niya ngayon. Inayos ko ang tayo niya bago ko siya inakay papunta sa sasakyan ko. I dropped her off in her condo before driving to the nearest bar in the area.

I need a drink to cool my head. Parang sasabog na ang ulo ko sa pagkalito. Siya lang ang babaeng minahal ko ng ganito na kahit naaapakan na ang pagkalalake ko ay hindi pa rin ako sumusuko makuha lang siyang muli.

Pagkapasok ko sa loob ng bar ay marami ng may tama ng alak sa bawa't sulok ng kwarto. Ilang babae na ang lumapit sa akin nang dumaan ako sa dancefloor ngunit hindi ko sila pinansin. I'm not in the mood to flirt tonight. Dumeretso ako sa taas saka umorder ng alak. I watched people get drunk in the wilderness of dancefloor.

I'm already on my 10th glass of alcohol when a girl on the table caught my attention. Nakasandal siya sa sa upuan at nakatingala habang tumatawa kaya't kitang-kita ko ang makinis niyang leeg at dibdib dahil dito. Lasing na rin ang mga kasama niya at tanging tawanan na lang ang namamayani sa lamesa nila.

Parang napako ang mga mata ko sa babae dahil kahit anong pilit ko ay hindi ko maalis ang tingin ko sa kanya. Nang tumunghay na ulit siya ay saka ko nakita ang kabuuan ng mukha niya. She looks like an angel sent from above. Her features has the complexion of danger and innocence. She's fucking gorgeous. I wonder how her lips would taste with mine.

Napaiwas ako ng tingin ng mag angat siya ng mata sa direksyon ko. Parang may tambol sa dibdib ko nang gawin niya iyon. I drank the last drop of my drink before turning my gaze back at her but she's already gone. Nandoon pa ang mga kasama niya kaya't inilipat ko ang tingin sa dancefloor, nagbabakasakaling nandoon siya. Dahil nasa taas ay hindi ko masyadong makita ang mukha ng mga tao dahil sa malilikot na ilaw.

Natagpuan ko na lang ang sarili ko sa grounfloor at hinahanap siya. Nang mapagtanto ko kung ano ang ginagawa ko ay mariin akong pumikit saka iwinaksi ang mukha ng babae sa ulo ko. I'm insane. I shouldn't find that girl cause I don't even know her. You're being ridiculous Ajax tsk.

Napagpasyahan kong pumunta muna sa male's bathroom dahil bigla akong nakaramdam ng tawag ng kalikasan. Nang papaliko na ako sa hall ay mabilis akong napahakbang ng paatras ng bumunggo ako sa isang babae. Agad kong hinawakan ang bewang niya upang pigilan siya sa pagtumba at laking gulat ko ng makita kung sino iyon. She's the girl that caught my attention.

Natural na mumula ang magkabilang pisngi niya habang ang mga mata niya ay nanlalaking nakatingin sa akin. Bahagyang nakaawang ang bibig niya kaya't hindi ko maiwasang titigan ito.

Nakahawak ang malambot niyang kamay sa braso ko kaya't mabilis ko siyang naitayo ng maayos habang hindi pa rin inaalis ang mga titig sa mukha niya. Naging mabigat ang paghinga ko nang basain niya ang pang ibaba niyang labi. Parang nag init ang katawan ko sa ginawa niya. Gusto ko siyang angkinin ngayon din dahil kahit ang alaga ko ay ramdam ko na ang galit.

Nakahawak pa rin ako sa bewang niya at siya sa balikat ko, tila kapwa walang balak maghiwalay.

"You should be careful next time." I said in a hoarse voice. Napakurap-kurap siya matapos kong sabihin iyon.

"Y-yeah"

Unti-unti ay nararamdaman ko ang paglapit ng mukha niya sa akin. Hindi ko na hinintay pang lumapat ang mga labi niya sa akin at agad ko na siyang siniil ng halik. Akala ko ay itutulak niya ako ng alisin niya ang mga kamay niya sa braso ko ngunit mas lalo akong nasabik nang iangkla niya ito sa batok ko. Mapupusok ang halik na ibinibigay ko sa kanya na nilalabanan niya naman. Napakunot ang noo ko ng maramdaman ang pangangapa niya. Parang hindi siya sanay humalik tsk.

I travelled my hands up to her chest and massage one of  her bossoms. Dahil doon ay napaungol siya sa bibig ko at mas lalo kong naramdaman ang galit ng alaga ko.

I can't take this anymore, I need to fuck her right now.

Pinutol ko ang halikan namin at saka inakay siya palabas ng bar.

"Where are we going?" gulong tanong niya.

"In heaven baby, in heaven." napasinghap siya ng ibulong ko yon sa tainga niya.

Pinalipad ko ng mabilis ang sasakyan. Nang makapag check in sa pinakamalapit na hotel ay agad naming pinagsawa ang katawan sa isa't-isa. I still remember how good my cock was inside her mouth. The sensation is on another level. Her moans are like symphonies to my ears. And to my surprise, she was a virgin. I didn't even realize that when I was finger fucking her considering that her walls are too tight. I'm more focused on the pleasure she was giving me.

Hindi ko alam ngunit parang may nagsaya sa loob ko ng malaman ko na virgin siya. I don't usually like to bed women who don't have experience cause I find them boring but not her. Hell I don't even mind if her kisses were too off.

Madidiin ang binigay kong ulos sa kanya nang gabing iyon. Hindi ko malilimutan kung gaano kasarap ang pag-iisa ng kaselanan namin. Ngunit nadismaya ako ng matapos kami at makatulog agad siya. Ilang minuto ko pa siyang pinagmasdan bago rin ako dapuan ng antok.

Nagising ako sa ingay ng cellphone ko. Mataas na ang araw at lumalagpas na rin ang sinag nito sa bintana ng hotel room. Nang maimulat ko ng maayos ang mata ko ay tumambad sa akin ang mukha ng isang anghel. She's only clothed with a blanket and one of her boob is showing. Hindi ko mapigilang ngumisi ng maalala ang nangyari kagabi.

Nang marinig ko ulit ang pag ring ng phone ko ay agad akong tumayo sa kama para hanapin ang pantalon ko. It was lying on the floor right where the angel sucked my dick. Nang makita ko kung sino ang tunatawag ay agad akong napairap. It's Lander tss. Agang aga istorbo.

I answer his call.

"What the fuck do you want moron?" bungad ko sa kanya. Natigilan ako ng makarinig ng umiigik na boses sa kabilang linya.

"B-bro h-help." mahina niyang sabi. Napakunot ang noo ko sa tinuran niya. Is this one of his pranks?

"Shut up, it's only 6 in the morning--"

"Help m-me, my c-car." pagputol niya sa akin. Bigla akong nagising ng mapagtanto ko na hindi siya nagbibiro.

He got into a car accident while on his way to his restaurant. I was the first one he called. Nagmadali agad akong umalis ng mga oras na 'yon, wala na sa isip ang babaeng nakahiga pa sa kama. Ni hindi ko man lang naitanong ang pangalan niya.

Mula noon ay tatlong araw na akong pumupunta sa bar kung saan ko siya nakita ngunit kahit anong abang ko ay hindi na siya pumupunta pa sa The Metro. Gabi-gabi ko ring napapanaginipan ang maamo niyang mukha kaya hindi ko maiwasang laruin ang sariling kaselanan tuwing dis-oras ng gabi.

Her body and moans caused a distortion to my sleep. There's something in her that I want to feel again. Maybe pleasure? I don't know. But what I am sure is, i want to taste her again. I want to fuck her in any position I can think of, over and over again.

Even during in time work, I can't get her out of my mind. It's so frustrating really. Hell, I would have even hire an investigator just to see her again, if only I knew her name. And everytime my secretary and I are having sex, I can't help but picture her face instead.

At nang magsawa na nga ako kay Agatha ay agad ko siyang pinagresign para humanap ng papalit sa kanya. I want to be the one who will interview them and maybe in that way, kahit papaano ay maalis siya sa isipan ko.

But not any of them met my standards. Yes some of them have good credentials and went to prominent schools but they're all just the same. In body, face and in flirting skills. In my terms, they're boring.

Two days with hundreds of applicants but no one captured my attention. It's already 5 im the afternoon and I just finished interviewing a woman who claims that we had sex once in the janitor's room in junior high.

"Send the next one." ani ko sa intercom.

Pero imbis na aplikante ang pumasok ay iniluwa ng pinto ko si Agatha.

"Uh sir, that was the last applicant today. Though there's still someone whom you haven't interviewed yet and she's scheduled for today but apparently she did not appeared." she said in an uncertain voice.

I sighed while rolling my eyes. Her loss then.

"And I was looking through her portfolio and I found out that she graduated in Harvard with latin honors. She has worked in abroad as an intern before--"

"I don't care if she have a perfect credentials, she didn't came and it's a no."

"--and she's a Rockwell."

Natigilan ako nang marinig ang huling sinabi niya. Parang nagpantig ang tenga ko at mabilis kong binaling ang atensyon ko sa ngayon ay nakakagat labi ng si Agatha.

"What did you say?" madidiin ang bawat bigkas ko ng mga salita.

"U-uh nothing sir hehe."

"No, the last part you said that she's... she's..." napalunok ako nang hindi ko matuloy ang gustong sabihin.

"She's a Rockwell. Base on her contact info she's connected with Harper Rockwell." ani niya na parang kiti-kiti habang binabanggit ang pangalan ng gago.

Nagtagis ang bagang ko sa narinig. She must be his sister. They're the only Rockwells in town so who else could she be. But the question is, what the hell is she doing here? There's no way that this is all Harper's doing, he knows me too well.

I was thinking deeply when an idea came to my mind. It seems like the girl doesn't have an idea of the path she's taking. I faced Agatha who's now full of curiosity while looking at me.

"She's hired." I said with a finality.

Halata ang gulat sa mukha niya nang sabihin ko iyon.

"B-but don't you want to see her face yet? I have here her 2x2 pictu---"

I waved my hand to stop her.

"There's no need for that. Tell her she will start tomorrow." I said in a hard voice.

Tignan mo nga naman, ang karne na mismo ang lumalapit sa lungga ng lion. Napangisi ako sa naisip. I just came up of a plan on how I would do my revenge to Harper. I know how much he loves his sister, and this one would really drove him insane.

For sure that girl is as slutty as every girl who's lining up just to work for me. I could use her, make her my past time in bed and make her fall foLr me then dump her. I will break her heart into pieces just like what his brother did to mine.

And when Agatha informed me that she turned down the job, mas lalo lang lumalim ang kagustuhan ko na saktan siya, so I called her myself. Ngunit nang magsalita na siya ay napakunot ang noo ko sa pamilyar na boses na sumalubong sa akin. But she couldn't be her right? It's just impossible. Iwinaksi ko ang naiisip at agad sinabi ang pakay ko. I immediately hang up the call after that. Pumapasok na naman sa isip ko ang babaeng nakaniig ko kaya kung ano-ano na lang ang naririnig ko.

I drink myself to sleep that night. Nag isip ako ng mga plano para pahirapan siya. Too bad she's Harper's sister cause I don't have mercy for anyone who's related to that bastard.

When the moment came, she found me and Agatha in a malicious position. I thought that's a good starter, para malaman niya na hindi lang pagiging sekretarya ang magiging trabaho niya sa akin. But when our eyes finally met, I almost punch myself because of what I'm seeing.

It can't be. Fuck. Fuck it. Kagaya ko ay gulat din ang maamo niyang mukha at bahagya pang nakabilog ang mga labi na nakatitig sa akin. Napatagal ang titig ko sa pamilyar na labing iyon. It's her. The woman I had a one night stand with and the person I've been dying to see again. The object of my desires.

I felt a bitterness feeling on my chest. She's Harper's sister for fuck sake! I studied her face once again to confirm it. I've seen her pictures before noong tumatambay pa ako sa condo ni Harper at halos hindi naman niya kamukha ito. Maybe because she's so much younger in those pictures before compared to now.

I breathe a heavy sigh before trying to think. A hope in my heart suddenly died after realizing that the woman i'm being obsessed with was Harper's sister, the person who betrayed me. I look back to her face and nearly smile after seeing her innocent pretty face. God she's gorgeous.

Ngunit parang litrato na lumitaw agad sa isip ko ang mga panggagago ni Harper sa akin. Muling bumalik ang pait ng nararamdaman ko at agad na napalitan ang mga ala-ala ng mga planong naisip ko kagabi. She shouldn't have this effect on me or else I will lose again. Yes, that's right, she's Harper's sister and the plan must go on.

Kaya unang araw niya pa lang ay sinimulan ko na siyang pahirapan. I don't send her much inside my office cause her beauty is just irresistible. I can't help staring at her innocent angel face and that luscious lips of hers. And I have to keep that out of my mind to continue my plans by keeping her out of my sight.

At mas lalo pang sumidhi ang inis ko sa kanya nang ilang beses ko siyang maabutan na nakikipaglandian kay Ross. I saw how she smiled whenever he talks to her, and that pisses the hell out of me. Tuloy ay palagi ko siyang natatambakan ng mga gawain kahit minsan ay labag sa loob ko. I don't even know why I feel pity of her, I shouldn't right? I saw how she cried whenever the time hits at 11 pm and she were not done yet on her work. It made me feel happy to see her suffer or so I think, cause deep inside I'm battling myself to wipe her precious teats, hug her tightly and apologize to her. Hell, I don't even know why I feel like doing that.

I kept on reminding myself that she has the blood of a traitor, and her presence in my company is still a mystery to me. And when the day the presentation for the investors came, I lost it already. I saw how that bastard Franco look at her maliciously.

Bigla na lang nagdilim ang paningin ko at hindi ko na napigilan pa ang bugso ng inis ko. I accused her without thinking straight.

And when she started crying infront of me, I suddenly want to take all the words I spit back. I should be rejoicing cause this is what I want right? to make her suffer, but why do I feel her pain whenever I cause her it. I'm fucking sick! I'm a sick man.

No, I shouldn't feel like this. She deserves it Ajax, she did.

I busied myself with paperworks after that. I just found out that she's already gone when I checked her on her table.

I called Lander to invite him for a drink after work but the jerk was still on his resting phase so I have no choice but to drive myself to The Metro alone.

I was already on my third bottle when I saw a familiar face making her way through the front bar. Akala ko ay nag hahalucinate lang ako ngunit nang minsang humarap siya sa gawi ko ay nakumpirma kong si Rhaenyra nga ito. I watched her drowned herself while drinking. She seems preoccupied that's why she doesn't notice the man behind her who's intently watching her. Napatuwid ako ng tayo nang ngumisi ang lalaki sa kanya.

Why the hell is she drinking alone again?

I watched him watch her for awhile and when he finally made a move my body instantly pushed itself on their way. She doesn't look like she's enjoying his company and I confirmed it when I'm already near them. He's forcing her. Damn fucking maniac.

Her face is on his chest. Tuluyan ng nag init ang ulo ko at saka sila nilapitan. Lasing na lasing siya kaya't kahit gustong-gusto kong banatan ang tarantado ay mabilis ko na lamang siyang inalis sa loob ng bar.

I want to drive her home already but she keeps on hitting my face. She must have hated me that much huh. She's angry. Inilabas niya ang mga hinanakit niya sa akin ngunit hindi ako makapag focus dahil sa namumula niyang mukha. God she's beautiful. I can't help but to stare at her lips and her white chest. Pinigilan ko ang sarili ko na mapatingin ulit doon ngunit ng magharumentado ulit siya papalapit sa akin ay pigil hininga kong inilayo ang sarili.

I tried to calm her but she's mad. Ngunit hindi ko na napigilan pa ang sarili at agad siyang siniil ng mapupusok na halik. I thought she was going to pushed me but shocked enveloped my body when she responded to my kisses. Sabik ang bumalot sa katawan ko ng mahawakan kong muli ang balat niya. Para akong nawala sa sarili at agad na iginala ang kamay sa katawan niya. I took her inside my car and did it again after bringing her in my condo. I can't help but to fuck her over and over again whenever she calls my name in her moans.

I explored and licked every inch of her body last night, and looking at her right now makes my body crave for her again. I can feel my cock getting hard every passing seconds that's why I decided to get up for now before I could even touch her again. I don't want to disturb her sleep cause I know how fucking exhausted she is after fucking her endlessly last night.

I decided to cook breakfast while waiting for her to wake up. I just prepared the basics cause cooking wasn't really my thing. I have a chef that delivers my food whenever I call so I didn't really bothered to study how to cook. After placing her food beside the table, I went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.

I am drying my hair with a towel while closing the bathroom door when a tiny voice suddenly scream. She was standing beside the bed while horror enveloped her face. I watched her intently before nodding. Ofcourse she doesn't remember, she was drunk.

"Oh god, oh god!" she said while biting her lips. Damn it woman, stop doing that. I can feel my cock getting hard again.

"Jesus calm down Rhaenyra."

She closed her eyes for a while before making a schocked face. Seems like realization has finally hit her pretty head. Rhaenyra looked at me with shyness on her face while I make my way to reach her.

I stopped infront of her before studying her face. She's continually gulping while hiding her eyes on me. I stifled a small smile on what she's doing. She looks so innocent. I was her first and definitely her second and I intend to be her third, or fourth whatever.

"Are you calm now?" I asked in soft tone. She seemed shocked after hearing my voice.

Unti-unti siyang nag angat ng tingin sa akin bago lumunok.

"I'm sorry for what happened last night Mr.Hidalgo, I don't know what--" I cut her off before she even finished her speech. She's sorry? fuck it, she shouldn't be.

"Sorry for what Rhaenyra? I had a blast last night and you did as well. There's nothing to be sorry for."

Napaawang ang bibig niya bago nag iwas ng tingin sa akin. Kitang-kita ko ang pagpula ng pisngi niya na siyang ikinatawa ko ng mahina. Mabilis niyang ibinalik ang mga mata sa gawi ko bago namamanghang tumitig sa akin. Nang matauhan sa ginawa ay agad siyang pumikit bago tila galit na hinarap ko.

"A-are you mocking me?" ani niya.

I tilt my head in amusement before watching her innocent eyes.

"Ofcourse not." ngunit parang hindi siya naniniwala at agad na inilampas ang tingin sa akin. Pagkakuwan ay dali-dali niya akong nilampasan bago kinuha ang mga damit niya sa table na inayos ko kanina at saka pumasok sa banyo ko.

Napangisi ako sa naging reaksyon niya. Nagbihis na ako habang hinihintay siyang lumabas ng pinto. I am preparing her food on the table when I heard the sound of door closing. She was looking at me hesitantly that made me smile inside.

"Eat, your probably hungry by now because of exhaustion." I said before pulling a chair for her.

"Thank you, but I should probably go now--"

"No. You should eat first. Sit here." i said after cutting her off.

"No really, it's fine but--"

"Sit here." I said in my serious tone. Hindi niya alam ang gagawin at tila nagdadalawang ngunit agad ding humakbang papalapit sa akin. I don't want her to go home yet.

Umupo siya sa hinila kong upuan at ganon rin ang ginawa ko sa katapat niya. She is just looking at my every move before lowering her eyes after I caught her staring at me.

I put bacon and hotdogs on a plate before placing it infront of her. Nakatingin lang siya sa plato at hindi gumagalaw. I then cleared my throat to steal her attention.

"Eat Rhaenyra." I urge her again.

"I-ikaw? hindi ka ba kakain?" nag aalinlangan niyang tanong sa akin. I give her a small smile before shooking my head. I don't usually eat breakfast but only bread and coffee.

"I've already eaten so you should start now." pagsisinungaling ko pa.

After seconds of contemplating she finally took the spoons and scoop her food. I am just watching her eat. Maya-maya pa ay ibinagsak niya ang kubyertos sa plato niya bago tumingin sa akin.

"Can you please stop staring at me? it's making me uncomfortable." naiinis niyang sabi. Pinigilan ko ang sariling mapangiti bago nagbuntong hininga.

"Okay sorry. Though I have to talk to you right now so just bear with it."

She sighed before continue eating again.

"I'm sorry." I said that made her stopped from chewing the food inside her mouth. Unti-unti siyang nag angat ng tingin sa akin na tila gulat at nagtataka.

"I'm sorry for being a jerk to you every day. I really am sorry." ngayon ay tuluyan ng nakatutok ang atensyon niya sa akin, bahagya pang nakaawang ang bibig niya.

Ilang segundong namayani ang katahimikan bago siya nagsalita.

"W-why? Why are so mean to me?"

I was taken aback with her question. I can't answer her why. I clenched my jaw while thinking of an escape.

"Nevermind I should I get going now." ani niya bago tumayo.

She went to the table where her bag is placed before facing me again.

"Uh about what happened last night, I--"

"I enjoyed it Rhaenyra, it was good. I know you do too, don't you?" I said in a firm but soft voice.

Napakurap-kurap siya bago natatarantang ibinuka ang labi ngunit walang lumabas na boses doon. I smiled mentally after seeing how much effect I have on her. Lumapit ako sa kanya dahan-dahang hinawakan ang baba niya at inangat patingin sa akin.

"Don't you Rhaenyra?" I said in a husky voice. She closed her eyes tightly before gulping. I like it when I make her nervous, it's making me want to fuck her again damn it.

"I-i did." bulong niya sa nahihirapang boses.

"Good." i watched her lips quivered before kissing it gently. She's holding back at first ngunit maya-maya pa ay sinasagot na rin niya ang mga halik ko. Mapupusok at uhaw ang naging palitan namin ng halik. Pinutol ko rin agad ito dahil baka hindi ko pa magilan ang sarili ko at maitulak ko pa siya pabalik sa kama.

Habol hininga siyang tumungo na may ngiting sumisibol sa labi. I kissed her on the forehead before withrawing from our closeness. Titig na titig siya sa'kin nang gawin ko iyon.

"I'll drive you home." ani ko.

"No, no it's fine I'll just take a cab." pagtanggi niya.

"Are you sure you're gonna be fine?" she nodded while clutching the strap of her bag, getting ready to go.

"Yeah."

"Okay I'll see you tomorrow then."

Hindi na siya nagpahatid sa ibaba kaya't naiwan akong mag-isa sa condo. I filled my glass of a drink while thinking of her. She surely is innocent or she's just that good of an actress, I don't know.

I turned my phone on and Maureen's picture appeared on the screen. I smiled bitterly. Babawiin ulit kita Mau, babalik ka rin sa akin. But first, I have to get my revenge on your bastard first. I will do it through her, through Rhaenyra.
