-(MAHASIAH LEZALEL VERDANIO POV)-
I kept hissing in pain dahil sa pagdampi ng gamot sa mga sugat sa mukha ko. Damn that Francisco. "Yaya, dahan dahan lang. Please." Saad ko, closing my eyes tightly."Just stay still, Sir." Utos nito na ginawa ko naman.I remained still on my seat while the maid applied the ointment on my wounds."Sir, do you want me to apply more?" Tanong nito bago itabi ang mga pinag gamitan."No, call Seraphina for me please." I ordered nang makatayo ako sa upuan.Sumunod agad ito. Nang makalabas ito sa kuwarto ko, umupo ako sa gilid ng kama at kinuha ang cellphone na nasa bedside table. That fucking bastard really thinks he can be ready to marry my step sister in a span of one month. They barely even know each other yet he has the audacity to decide.Tingnan na lang natin kung sino ang magsasawa… doon pa naman siya magpapakasal sa babaeng yun eh may boyfriend yun…Bakit ba kasi siya pa? Pwede naman sa ibang babae. Why did Dad let Emerald arranged her for him?Inangat ko ang aking tingin sa pinto nang bumukas iyon. Seeing Seraphina get inside before I gave her a small smile, quickly receiving it when she did the same.Umupo ito sa tabi ko as she rested her head on my shoulder."Oh Lez, you really are troublesome." Anito nang iangat niya ang tingin sa akin."What do you mean?" I asked plainly, my hand intertwining with hers."To think you can beat the shit out of that Francisco is far beyond what I was expecting from you." She retorted, her cognac brown orbs staring back at me.She has… the same eye color as Gelal…I smirked. "I'm just starting Sera, makukuha mo ang ineexpect mo sakin." Sagot ko rito.She scoffed. "You were almost beaten to death. Tignan mo mukha mo, kung hindi na linisan yan, hindi na kita makikilala." She denoted, her eyebrows furrowed."It's okay. How about I beat the death out of you?" I asked, placing my hand on her thigh.She bit her lower lip. "Father might hear us."I bit my lower lip and whispered. "I don't mind. I can be quiet." She laughed softly, biting her inner cheek. I caressed her cheek before kissing her lips fully.She's all I need in this freakin' situation right now. Umibabaw ako rito and unbuttoned her sleeves as we kissed. Her arms quickly wrapped around my neck before gripping my hair tightly.I can't get enough of her…"Lez…" She whispered between our kisses.I stopped and looked at her cognac orbs. I am always out of control when I see her like this."Is there something wrong?" tanong ko rito, my eyes half opened."Make sure the door is locked" she whispered.Tumingin ako sa direksyon ng pinto at walang alinlangan na umalis sa ibabaw niya, quickly locking it bago lumapit muli sa kanya.I was so lost in the moment. The way she whimpers my name while I enter inside her is music to my ears. Patuloy ako sa paglamas ng kanyang dibdib, my kisses trailing down from her neck to her chest bago markahan ang mga iyon.I don't care if someone will see us, my room is soundproof kaya walang makakapigil samin."Lezalel..." She moaned as I continuously thrusted hard and deep inside her."Don't worry sis, I'm close." I answered while I raised her legs to my shoulder.We both reached our end and I immediately withdrew bago humiga sa tabi nito, wrapping my arm around her waist.She hugged me back and looked into my eyes, kissing her lips before I heard her speak."This is wrong, my love." she whispers as she reaches for my hand to intertwine with my fingers."It is wrong, but I don't mind. I love you not as a sister." I whispered back and held her hand tightly."I know we are not siblings by blood. But this is still wrong love." "But you like it?" I whispered, mapungay ang mga mata kong nakatingin sa kanya.She nodded in response, her lips a bit swollen dahil sa nangyari kanina. I caressed her cheek and kissed her. "Don't worry love, our secret is safe with me."I kissed her forehead and wrapped her in my arms.I will fucking make sure that Gelal will never set foot in this world anymore.I will make his freakin' life miserable and I will make sure of that.-(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)-"Fuck! Pwede ba dahan dahan naman!?" I screeched habang linalagyan ng gamot ang mga sugat ko.Corlyn was taking too long to pack her stuff on God knows where she's going. Nang dumating ang katulong na may hawak na first aid, agad ko na itong pinalinis sa kanya."Sir, wag kayong masyadong mainitin ang ulo. Baka mabawasan ang kagwapuhan niyo." Saad nito sa akin, patuloy siya sa pagdampi ng gamotMambobola pa…"Si Corlyn, nasaan ba siya?" Tanong ko."Kausap niya po ang Daddy niya, Sir." Simpleng sagot nito, patuloy siya sa kanyang ginagawa.I hummed in response as I waited for her to arrive, curiously wondering kung anong pinag uusapan nilang mag ama.Let's hope na hindi ako ang pinag uusapan ng mga ito…"Ayos na ba yan?" Tanong ko nang tumigil ito sa pagdadampi."Opo, Sir. Maiwan ko na po muna kayo." Sagot niya nang mailigpit nito ang pinag gamitan.Umalis rin kaagad ito. The freaking silence was deafening and I'm getting bored.My blood is still boiling thinking about that damn Lezalel. I don't want to make a scene or a fuss about what he's saying pero sumosobra na siya.I took a glimpse of the time seeing it was 5:00 pm. Binalik ko sa bulsa ko iyon at tumingala as the sky was having a shade of red and orange. Bumaling ako sa harap ko nang marinig ko ang pangalan ko, seeing Corlyn dragging a suitcase behind her.I stood up and walked towards her. My mind still wondering kung bakit siya nag impake."Talagang aalis ka?" I asked nang makalapit ako rito."Dad said that I should stay with you. Mas maganda daw kung… malayo ako kay Kuya." Sagot nito sa akin, never meeting my gaze.Ito lang ang kauna unahang desisyon na nagustuhan ko… I kept the smirk to myself. The thought of having sex with her nonstop enticed me and the fact I can have her alone in my arms makes me excited. But I remained composed. Ayokong magpahalata na nagugustuhan ko ang desisyon na iyon."Stay with me? Ayaw nga ng Kuya mo na pakasalan kita eh." Sagot ko pabalik, composing myself from getting horny."Anong gusto mo? Mag stay ako dito? Pwede-" Naputol ang sasabin nito nang may magsalita mula sa kanyang likuran.Napalingon kami mula sa loob and saw her Dad striding towards our direction."Gelal, I'm sorry for the commotion that Lezalel caused. My adopted son is just overprotective when it comes to his sisters. " He started as he stood a bit far from us."It's no big deal, Mr. Verdanio." Sagot ko sakanya, a small smile plastered on my face."Also, take Emerald with you on your way home." Saad nito sa akin.Pinigilan kong ngumisi dahil alam ko na ang sasabihin nito."Why is that, Mr. Verdanio?" I asked na nag mamaang maangan."Becuase Lezalel has a temper kaya ko linalayo ang isa sa kanya. Only Sera can make him calm down. Now, have a safe trip on your way back home." Sagot nito, looking at his daughter for the last time before leaving.Sinundan ko ito ng tingin hanggang hindi ko na siya matanaw. Binalik ko ang tingin ko sa babaeng nasa harap ko na siyang nakatingin rin sa loob ng bahay.I leaned forward habang nakatalikod ito. "Mayayardo ka sa akin mamaya…" Bulong ko which caused her to face me."Tumigil ka nga, Theo." Sambit nito, her brows furrowed.I shook my head. "I've already decided. Papagurin kita sa kama pag uwi. So, give me your suitcase and let's go." Sagot ko rito na ikinapula ng kanyang mukha."Theo… stop being horny kahit ngayon lang." Sagot nito pabalik, her face flushed.I smirked. "I can't help it sexy bunny, you're way too sexy for me to not be horny. That hourglass figure you have kept me enticed." I answered, biting my lower lip."Tumigil ka na nga jan. Bitbitin mo na tong suitcase ko para makaalis na tayo." Sambit niya na parang naiinis as she handed me her luggage.Kinuha ko iyon habang pinipigilan ko ang aking sarili na tumawa. Pumasok na kami sa loob at hinayaan itong magpaalam sa kanyang Mom at sa kanyang mga kapatid bago tumungo sa front door.Pinag-buksan ko ito ng pinto at hinayaan siyang maunang maglakad, me following suit as I pulled her suitcase behind me."Nasaan ang kotse mo?" She asked as we walked down the steps on the front porch."Nasa labas ng gate." I plainly answered, taking the last step of the stairs.Hindi na ito tumugon at dumiretso sa front gate. Sumunod na lang ako rito habang bitbit ko pa rin ang kanyang bagahe, wondering kung anong laman dahil napaka bigat nito."Ano ba ang laman ng suitcase mo?" Tanong ko nang makalabas na kami sa gate.Lumingon ito sa akin, her one eyebrow raised. "Bato tsaka barbel." Pamimilosopo nito as she stopped in front of me."I'm fucking serious, Corlyn." Sagot ko na parang naiinis."Edi malamang damit. Jusko naman, Theo. Ano pa ba ang ilalagay ko jan kundi damit." Sarkastiko nitong saad, rolling her eyes at me before walking away."Ang bigat kaya." Bulong ko nalang, pulling the luggage behind me again as I followed her.Linabas ko ang susi ng aking dark blue mustang. Quickly alarming it nang lampasan niya ito, making her flinch in shock.I kept the laugh to myself nang humarap ito sa akin na naka busangot."Bwisit ka talaga, eh no?" Sambit niya, obviously pissed."Wag ka kasing mauna." Sagot ko habang papalapit sa kanya.Linagpasan ko siya at linagay ang kanyang bagahe sa trunk, quickly closing it bago buksan ang passenger door para sa kanya."Get in." Saad ko nang hindi ito gumalaw sa kanyang posisyon.Padabog itong pumasok sa loob before I closed the door, quickly making my way towards the driver's side.Nang makapasok ako roon, I started the engine before glancing at her.Her arms folded over her chest as she frowns, her brows furrowed as she leaned her back on the backrest."Napano ka?" I asked as I started to drive."Nabibwisit ako sayo." Sagot niya, her eyes focused on the road.I laughed softly. "Tanggalin ko yang pagka-bwisit mo pagdating natin sa condo." Sagot ko which made her hit me in the arm."Bwisit ka." Sambit nito, bakas sa tono niya na naiinis siya.I kept giggling habang nagmamaneho, never minding her tantrums.-(EMERALD CORLYN VERDANIO POV)- -☾-Nakarating na kami sa condominium nito and I must say, it's big for the two of us.Kahit pang tatlong beses ko ng pumunta dito ay mangha parin ako sa lawak ng kanyang unit.Kasalukuyan akong nasa living room, sitting politely as I looked around. My eyes glued to the frame that I saw.Is that… him?Tumayo ako at linapitan ang nakita kong frame na naka display sa floating shelves, grabbing it before analysing the contents.It was him in a tuxedo while his arm was around a woman's waist. His facial expression was stern as the woman was smiling happily, her arms wrapped around him.Hindi ko alam pero… iba ang nararamdaman ko habang nakatingin sa litrato. My heart felt like it was being squeezed and stabbed to death as my brows furrowed. Ngunit wala akong karapatan magselos kasi hindi naman siya akin…"Dito ko na sa bedroom itinabi yung suitcase mo incase na hanapin mo." Sambit nito ngunit hindi ko siya liningon.Siguro napansin niyang iba ang timpla ko
-(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)--☾-Two weeks before the goddamn wedding. I still can't believe that I'm going to marry a woman who is 9 years younger than me.But even so, I still tried to distance myself from her and I know she is doing the same. Hindi ko ginusto na may mangyari sa amin, hindi ko ginusto ang lahat ng ito but I have no choice because it already happened.Mabuti na lang din naasikaso ko na ang lahat ng dapat gawin. From the church to the reception, everything was all fixed.Naisipan ko na lugar para sa reception ay malapit sa bangin para maganda ang view. Ngunit nagdadalawang isip ako kung magugustuhan niya ba iyon or hindi.I still feel nervous because I really don't expect na magpapakasal ako sa babaeng diko pa masyado kilala.Kasalukuyan kaming nagte-taste test ng flavors para sa cake sa isang shop. I kept looking at her from time to time dahil napaka tahimik niya. Since hindi ako makapili, I called Jace kahit mabigat sa loob ko to help us decide on which flavor su
-(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)-(00:40)Kasalukuyan akong umiinom ng alak sa may kusina habang mahimbing na natutulog si Emerald sa kwarto.Habang papalapit ang araw ng kasal, hindi ko maiwasan na kabahan at mag alinlangan kung kakayanin ko ba or tatalikuran ko nalang.Ayokong magpakasal. Ayun lang ang tanging nasa isipan ko ngayon ngunit hindi ko naman pwedeng talikuran dahil malapit na ang petsang iyon.I want to fucking talk to someone upang mailabas ang nararamdaman ko ngunit baka magambala ko lang ang tulog nila.Nilagok ko ang laman ng baso bago salinan muli ng alak iyon. "Gelal?" Napalingon ako nang may tumawag sa akin.I was tipsy but I know what I'm doing. My vision a bit blurry ngunit kung hindi ako nagkakamali, may babaeng nakatayo sa may doorframe ng kusina."What are you doing here?" Tanong ko, closing my eyes as I rubbed my forehead."Kukuha sana ako ng tubig. Hindi ko alam na nandito ka pala." Sa boses palang niya ay kilala ko na ito.I opened my eyes, my vision a bit c
-(AGATHE VERDANIO POV)--Verdanio Residences-"Alright, I will be there in a few minutes. Thank you." Saad ko bago ibaba ang tawag.Hindi ko alam kung bakit sila napatawag. I was busy at my study all morning doing paperworks when the Francisco household called, saying it was an important matter to talk about. Hopefully, he isn't backing out but I'm kinda getting the guts that he is. For a guy like Gelal, he doesn't take others seriously and just be a jerk for the whole time being.Let's just hope he won't be a jerk to my daughter. Or else I'll have his balls cut out.Paglabas ko ng study, I looked around to find Lezalel but he was nowhere to be found. Magpapa-sama sana ako na pumunta ruon kaya ko ito hinahanap."Mahasiah!" I yelled from the second floor I was in.Ngunit wala akong nakuhang sagot. I asked a maid na dumaan sa harap ko kung nasaan si Lez but she said she doesn't know kung kaya't hinayaan ko na ito. Napag isipan ko na pumunta sa kwarto nito kaya't nagtungo ako ruon. Ngun
-(SERAPHINA AMETHYST VERDANIO POV)-Napabiling ang mukha ko sa ibang direksyon as my mom slapped me. Or should I say, my step mom.But the fuck I care about them? They are not my parents by blood. Never was and never will be.Matalim ang aking tingin nang humarap ako rito, nothing was roaming around my mind except the anger that I'm feeling right now.As soon as she found out, she went to my room and dragged me by the hair up into the living room."Hindi kita tinuruan ng ganyan Seraphina. I already told you to stay away from his son before things get worse-" Naputol ang sasabihin nito nang sumabat ako."His son? From what I know, that wasn't his son. Nor am I a daughter of his. Wala kayong karapatan na saktan kaming dalawa dahil in the first place, hindi namin kayo kadugo." Sagot ko, my expression unchanged."Oo hindi namin kayo kadugo pero dito kayo lumaki sa puder namin. Both of you are legally and rightfully ours and what you are doing is incest. You are destroying our family's name
-(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)--Flashback-"Mr. Verdanio is here, Sir." Sambit ng isang maid samin.I glanced at Kuya Khaleed who was by my side."Let him in, aalis na rin ako." Sambit ni Khaleed na tinanguan ko naman."Let him in, Aleine." Utos ko na siyang sinunod niya naman.Nang makapasok ito, para siyang dinaanan ng lindol.He still looks good because his clothes are okay. It's like he's been drunk and got sober before going here.I saw how he ran his fingers through his hair bago niya ito ayusin. He smiled a little at us nang mapansin kami nito bago ako tumayo upang makipag kamay rito. We both sat down on opposite chairs and Kuya Khaleed left us to talk privately."I'm sorry I was late. There was just a commotion in my house. Pero naasikaso din agad." Anito bago sumandal sa backrest ng sofa."It's okay Mr. Verdanio. Let me cut to the chase since I don't like long talks." Sambit ko, smiling a little at him.He looked at me confusingly. "Is this important?" He asked, his eyebrow
-(EMERALD CORLYN VERDANIO POV)-As he slept peacefully above me, I still can't stop thinking about the number who called on the phone.It was unknown but one thing is for sure, he flew back to the Philippines.I am nervous for the fact that he might look for me in the house, fearing that he might know that Dad arranged me to marry a man that I barely know.Kasalukuyan akong nagsscroll sa newsfeed ko, my other hand caressing his soft waves as he slept in my arms. His breath fanning my chest as he snuggled, his arms enveloped my body while his manhood was still inserted inside me.Ngunit kahit ganoon ang pwesto namin ay medyo nahihirapan ako dahil mabigat ito, I feel like I'm suffocating kaya tinapik tapik ko ang balikat nito upang siya ay umayos ng kanyang pwesto."Lal…" I mumbled, tapping his shoulder to wake him up.But he didn't respond as he continued to snore lightly."Lal." Tawag ko muli, this time pushing him away from me.He hummed in response without looking up to me, his hand
-(GELAL THEODEN FRANCISCO POV)-Dang it… this is the day. This is the day that I'm going to marry her.Kasalukuyan akong nasa harap ng salamin, looking at myself as I wore a black tuxedo. My hair being styled by the hair dresser.I was nervous yet happy at the same time, assuring myself that everything is going to be okay.Tinawagan ko na rin ang best man ko na si Frances and sina Rus a week before the wedding. Luckily, kahit busy sila ay na-manage ng mga ito na mag attend.Nakita ko na pumasok ang mga ito kung nasaan ako, seeing their wide smiles by the mirror lightened my mood a bit."Pare!" Bati ni Rus as he strode towards me."Still can't believe that this single bastard is finally getting married." Sabat ni Frey as he stood beside me."Hindi rin ako makapaniwala, Gabe. But dang, I'm still excited." Sagot ko rito as I stood up dahil tapos na akong ayusan."Don't call me Gabe, Theoden. Sa susunod niyan, kami na ni Euphrasia ang magpapakasal." Anito as he smiled a little."Fix your a
