Words With Silent K

Hindi madali ang lumaki sa anino na iniwan ng ibang tao, higit kanino man si Vanna ang nakakaalam ng mga bagay na iyan sapagkat simula pagkabata ay nakasunod lamang siya sa yapak ng nakatatandang kapatid at sa lahat nang utos ng kanyang ina. Kaya naman nang makilala niya si Atticus, inakala niyang ito na ang lalaking para sa kanya. Makalipas ang tatlong taon ay pumayag siyang magpakasal dito ayon na din sa kagustuhan ng kanyang mga magulang. Ilang araw bago ang dapat sana ay kasal nila, nahuli niya itong nagloloko. At ang masakit, sariling kapatid niya ang nakapatong dito. Dala nang pinaghalo-halong emosyon at tama ng alak na basta na lamang nilaklak, siya ay nagising sa isang hindi pamilyar na kama. Tandang-tanda niya ang gabing pinagsaluhan nila ng estraherong iyon at matutuwa na sana siya ngunit nang alukin ng pera kapalit ng paggamit sa kanyang katawan ay nagalit siya dito. Nilayasan niya ang walang hiya at sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon ay muling nagkrus ang kanilang mga landas, sa pagkakataong iyon wala na siyang kawala. Kailangan siya nito para magpanggap na asawa hanggang makuha ang mana at kailangan niya ito para magkapera. The timid yet sweet woman with a painful past and an arrogant business tycoon with a heartbreaker for a middle name. How long lust would last?

Isang gabi ay nakilala niya ang isang lalaking may malapad at perpektong mga kilay, singkit ang mga mata, matangos ang ilong, may matikas na panga at aroganteng ngiti sa mga labi. Ang lalaking hindi niya akalaing pag-aalayan niya ng kanyang sarili. Marupok at tanga na nga siguro siya para magpaubaya sa lalaking hindi niya kilala. Mas lalong nagulo ang isip niya sa mga nakitang pagbabago sa lalaking ‘yon. Animo’y dalawa ang personalidad, pabago-bago ang ugali dahilan para umusbong ang galit para sa lalaki. Ngunit nang malaman niya ang katotohanan at nasagot ang mga tanong na bumagabag sa kanya ay mas lalo pa yatang gumulo ang buhay niya. Ilang beses niyang kinuwestyon ang sarili kung sino ba ang napagkalooban niya ng kanyang katawan. Sino nga ba ang lalaking ‘yon?

Ocean has no idea what freedom means, but she desires nothing more than a taste of it. The secrets hidden from her will unfold before her eyes, no one can escape the truth. ~~~ The book excerpt: "Here, I have a key to your heart," I left the key in my palm, metal, and skin together. I stumbled upon the ancient artwork in the locker rooms. It caught my attention because it resembles a dagger, so I took it and waited for the perfect opportunity. "Silly girl, that is not the key to my heart. Pathetic attempt." Vladimir growls in disgust. If I'm lucky, I'll be free by the end of the night. Taking the first step toward my destruction, I grin and move my hips in time with the slow music in the background. Vladimir swallows, his Adam's apple bobbles in his throat. The vampire's eyes focus on the crook of my neck as I stop directly in front of him. I place my palm on his chest, guide my fingertips down to his abdominal muscles, a corner of my lip twitches in disgust. When he closes his eyes, I take the opportunity to plunge the key directly into his heart, smiling as his eyes shoot open and he looks down at me in horror. "Are you still convinced I don't have the key to your heart?" I ask, grab him by the collar, and pull him closer. My lips nearly touch his ear as I whisper, "It fits."
