Lahat ng Kabanata ng you, me and what a pity : Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

Veronica panicked and stepped back, taking a look at her ruined uniform in shock. "Oh I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do it!" The blonde started apologizing as she grabbed tissues from the table and gave them to Veronica. "It's okay! I'll get cleaned up" Veronica tried to sound calm as she excused herself from them and went to the nearest washroom on the floor. As soon she left Bernard eyed the blonde with suspicious eyes. He was not a child to not understand women tactics. He was well aware what she tried to do but as much as he wanted to grab her throat and yank her on the brink of this building until the blood flushes out of her body in fear and she apologizes, she was a business associate. He didn't want to ruin his business relations for such a shitty act of hers. So he avoided pouring out his anger but indeed he couldn't stand another second in her presence. "The driver is waiting for you downstairs, he will drop you back home. Hope you had a wonderful night. Let's see each othe

After torturing both of them for endless hours, he was still not satisfied. He took the drilling machine once again and dug holes in their hands and arms. The splashes of blood stained the brick walls and his own clothes but nothing could calm his anger. His own standing beside him were disgusted and scared to the pit of their stomach. "Give me the knife!" He commanded one of his men. "Please! Please! I beg you.......let us go......I promise we will disappear from this country even. Don't do it" Samuel who was dripping in blood from head to toe pleaded with him, while on the edge of death. "Just kill me, kill me with one bullet!" Simon was begging for his death. But instead of listening to their pleadings, he continued to torture them with the knife, slicing their skin. Their screams even pierced the brick walls and someone outside could hear someone dying. It was after a moment that his phone started to ring. "Sir! It's from the nurse" his man told him. He wiped his bloody hand

Neon lights making her eyes hurt, she lowered her gaze as she walked inside. The man closed the door shut as she was forced to move forward and couldn't look back. Bernard was sitting on a couch, as usual his presence was dark and stark. She tried to see his face but couldn't. "How was your day Miss Veronica?" He asked in a husky voice. "It was fine Sir......." She replied, to the darkness. "I see, quite an adventurous one then" he remarked and she was unable to understand his statement. As much as she wanted to ask him about the reason for calling her, she hesitated. He was cold and merciless but also never hurt her. She wondered how he killed those two men. In her opinion death was something horrible and no man should be allowed to kill anyone. "Come here! Miss Veronica" he called out to her and she was shook out of her thoughts. Following his order, she stepped closer in the darkness. "Closer!" He said again, making her nervous as she took a few more steps near him. "Miss

"I think you're busy Mr Bernard! We should talk some other time, maybe in the morning?" She suggested as she hesitated to step forward. She couldn't see his face and it looked like he was not in a good mood. Maybe she was afraid of drunk men. "Please come forward Miss Veronica!" He said in a monotone, turning his face to the side but not enough for her to see him. She hesitantly stepped forward to him and stood two feet away. She didn't know if he was alright or in a bad mood. She didn't know if she gave him any reason to be mad at. She was counting her overall encounters with him during the day when he suddenly turned around. "I thought we should discuss my rent, that's why I came here. I just got my salary" she mumbled in a slow voice, trying not to make him mad which to her astonishment he already was with that straight face. "Where's your phone?" He asked looking up in her eyes, and she got nervous. "It's in my bag" she replied. "Then take it out!" He commanded. She got sc

Waves crashing against the rocks and the moon seeping through the clouds. The sea roared against the calm sky and it was all a melody to hear for the ones who could understand. It was a beautiful hut alongside the beach, furnished with glass as main material. Almost dreamy, it looked like straight out of a fairytale to her. He opened the car door for her himself. She stepped down, taking his hand as their eyes touched each other momentarily and soon parted. She was in awe of the beauty in her sight. He took her hand in his, as he led her toward the main door. He could see the awestruck expressions on her face and satisfaction bloomed in his heart. That's what he wanted, to see her happy and surprised. "Did you rent it?" She asked as they stepped inside and he closed the door on their back. "I own it, Veronica!" He felt a little disappointed by her words. Why would he bring her to a rental house? But of course her imagination was limited in that regard, she didn't actually know ho
