Chapter 4

"What makes you think that i will come with you, Dad?" Sarkastikong tanong niya sa ama. 

"You want me to freeze your accounts?" Seryosong tanong nito at walang bahid na pagbibiro. 

"You'll have to do better than that." Komento niya habang nakadekwatrong nakaupo sa duguang bangkay ng mga sindikato dinespatsa niya. 

"Another mafioso entered our territory."

Something in his mind clicked. A devious smirk appeared on his lips. His father knows him. Agad siyang tumayo at walang pag-aatubiling sumunod sa ama papunta rooftop. A loud roar of blades reached his ears. He missed Thunder, his favorite helicopter. 

"Welcome back, Your Grace." Bati ng tauhan nila. 

Pumasok siya sa drivers seat at isinuot ang headset. 

"Saan tayo pupunta?"

"I already wired the specific address of the island." Tipid na usal nito at kinasa ang baril. Looks like this is much worst than he thought otherise his father wouldn't have asked for his help. 

Rodulf Villagracia, his father is a boss from a prominent mafia family and feared by anyone-even his own clan. As his heir his duty is to exceed their expectations, but fvck them. He does what he wants until he became one of the powerful boss in Europe and Asia. With a diamond spoon in his mouth and as the sole heir, he is someone that nobody messes with. Even his father is afraid of him. 

Nang makalapag ay may nilahad na damit ang ama. 

"Don't get caught." He ordered. Una itong bumaba. "Watch your language, only use tagalog."

He scoffed and followed him. Mula sa dinaungan nila ay nakita niya ang isla. Tahimik ang paligid at normal. Perfect hiding spot. 

Sumampa sila sa bangka at nag-umpisang nagsagwan hanggang sa dumaong ito sa buhangin. Mabait na bumati sa kanila ang mga tao. Walang bahid na selos o pagbabanta. He shokt his head. Don't let your guard down.

Umabot sila sa madilim na parte ng isla. He prepared himself when a sweet scent reached his nostrils but that wasn't the only thing...the metallic scent of blood clinged. 

"T-tulong, please." Nanghihinang ng isang dalaga habang pinapasan ang matanda. Dumalak ang dugo nito mula sa tagiliran at nagpatuloy sa pag-ika. 

He don't know why he can't take his eyes off her. Basta nalang siyang tumitig sa dalaga ng hindi kumukurap. Bawat panginginig ng mapulang labi nito at pagdaloy ng luha pababa sa maamo nitong mukha. 

Awtomatikong humakbang ang paa niya palapit sa dalaga ngunit natigilan siya nang may narinig siyang pagputok. 

Nagtago ang babae sa bato at nilapag ang kasama. Her white long dress covered in blood and sand. Ilang putok ang nagmula sa di kalayuan. Iniluhod nito ang isang tuhod at tinutok ang baril. Bawat putok ay sapul ang grupo ng lalaking nakaitim. 

Malawak siyang napangiti at napakagat sa labi. I want that woman. Wala siyang pakialam kung ito ang target nila. Gagawin niya lahat para mapasakanya ang dalaga. She will be his, by hook or by crook.

"The everything is ready, boss." Faustus replied. 

"Make sure no one gets in or out." Cairo commanded as he gently wrapped Avern's hair and brought it to his lips. Her scent is intoxicating. Let's not make my Avern angry. A smirk stretched on his lips as his eyes landed on the papers and the ring on her hand. "I'm always yours, wife." 

Nakarinig siya ng malutong na mura at irap sa kabilang linya. He just ignored his reaction. 

"Insensitive brat. Pasalamat ka pinsan tayo." Komento nito. Kinuha niya ang phone at akmang papatayin. "You've been obsessed with her for eight years and took the CEO position that you hated so much. I hope she won't leave you, dear cousin." 

"Look who's talking." Pamimilosopo niya. 

"Shut up." Pikon na sagot nito at pinatay ang tawag. 

He combs her hair and used his arm as her pillow. Napangiti siya nang dumantay ang hita nito sa kanya. Kinuha niya ang kamay nito at nilagay sa pisngi niya. He felt her warmth spread on his face. Maamo ang mukha nito malayo sa puno ng disgustong ekspresyon tuwing nakikita siya ng dalaga. He buried his face on the hollow of her neck. 

"Hmm." Mahina niyang ungol nang malanghap ang natural nitong amoy. He bit his lips and squeezed his eyes shot. Fvck this! Ramdam niya ang pagsaludo ng pagkalalaki sa bawat dampi ng kanilang katawan. 

He won't mind being her captive. He loves it everytime his name slips through her lips. Every annoyed look she threw at him. She is the only woman who can make him like this. Avern is his heaven and hell.
