Akala ko'y magiging madali lang at matatapos na ang lahat pagkatapos ng mga dalawa o tatlo kong pagtaas ng paddle. Pero sa hindi ko inaasahan, may tarantado pang makikikumpetensya sa 'kin.
I looked at the direction of the one who have been raising the bid higher and higher after me. Kinilatis kong mabuti ang pagmumukha nito and I rolled my eyes after realizing who he is. Walang iba kundi si Flavio who's seated on a row lower than mine in this stadium seating.I raised my paddle. "Seventy million", I shouted.Paglingon ko ay nakatingin din sa 'kin ang gago. He smiled, isang ngiting pang-aasar na para bang nagsasabi na hindi siya titigil sa pakikipag-agawan.Flavio Devereaux–Aubert, in short, Flavio. He's the first son of my mom's older brother, and that being said, he is my first cousin. Dahil magka-edad lang kami, my mom and uncle brought us together since we were kids para maging malapit kami sa isa't isa. But contrary to what they initially intended, we ended up being each other's nemesis while growing up.Nakalimutan ko na kung paano at kailan iyon nagsimula. But I've got many vague memories about how our relatives always compare us and me receiving most of their compliments. I think that's when Flavio started to get wary of me. Simula noon ay palagi na niya akong hinihigitan sa lahat ng bagay. He always aims to surpass me. I was always his enemy that he had sworn to defeat on anything.I didn't thought that jealousy would eat him like that. Pero tangina na man, pati ba naman dito kakalabanin niya ako?Sinabunutan ko ang sarili ko out of frustration nang makita ko uli siyang nagtaas ng paddle para magbid. I let out a sigh and looked down the stage where the woman who took my attention was standing.Is she really worth the fight? The money? And the effort?I scanned her once again. I can't tell how pretty she is with the black laced mask that's obscuring the upper half of her face. All I can see is the cascade of long obsidian-black hair that that frames her face; it was shining under the spotlight. Her hair flows loosely around her shoulders, occasionally falling across her face. At sa bawat marahang paghawi niya nito'y kinakagat niya ang kanyang mapupulang labi.She was standing there like an enchantress. The other girls were not even close to her. She stood there na wala man lang bakas ng takot, hiya o kaba. She held her face high enough to meet the gazes of the audiences. She completely ignored their gleaming eyes that seemed to pierce on her barely covered body.I knew it from the moment she stood there, she is my bride.Natauhan ako nang marinig kong magsalita ang emcee. "1st call, is there no one willing to make the bid higher for item 10?"I unhesitatingly raised my paddle. "Eighty-eight million", I shouted.I smirked as I looked at Flavio who was also looking at me. Tingnan natin kung hanggang sa'n mo kayang makipaglaban sa'kin Flavio.I saw him hesitate. 88 milion isn't a joke, especially this times where money is like a God getting worshipped by people.Nakitang kong bumulong ang katabi niya, that must be his adviser. Kitang-kita ko ang paglukot ng kanyang noo pagkatapos n bumulong ang katabi niya. Flavio must have been advised to drop the bidding.Lumingon siya sakin wearing bitterness in face bago siya marahas na tumayo at umalis. Sumunod na man sa kanya ang katabi niya that I only recognized until now to be his long time secretary.I scoffed at this sight for now, my victory is sure."Item 10 is sold to VIP 7" Those words were loke music to my ears na sinabayan na man ng palakpakan.Tumayo ako sa kinauupuan ko and looked at her. My brows suddenly furrowed when I saw a staff guiding her to the back of the stage. I thought I'll be the one to do that! Just like a prince, I'll offer my hand to her and assist her to our room."Fucking shit!" I cussed as I hurriedly went after them."Sir wait lang po!" Naririnig kong sigaw ng isang staff pero hindi ko ito inintindi. I'm chasing after my future kid, got no time to waste.In a single clack of the door, I found myself in a corridor that looked like a hotel's hallway with doors lined up beside each other. I stopped my steps at luminga-linga ako nang hindi ko na makita ang sinusundan ko."S–sir, eto p–po and r–room card niyo." Humihingal na inibot sa'kin ng staff na kanina pa humahabol sa 'kin ang isang gold plated card. Nakasulat ang mga katagang "ROOM 22" rito."Where can I find this room?" Nagmamadali kong tanong."It's down on the sixth floor sir." He replied and smiled which showed the dimples on his face. How could such a gentle looking boy work at an auction who sells people?Walang kaabog-abog kong tinungo ang unang elevator na nakita ko at pinindot ang number six sa elevator button. Tiningala ko ang indicator light and waited patiently before the number six appears on it.I held my breath as I felt uneasy. I can't explain why my heart has been thudding loudly inside my ribcage ever since I started chase her.Hinihingal lang siguro ako. I then straightened my back and started breathing slowly. When I closed my eyes while exhaling, I saw her figure and it made me wonder. Is she a domineering woman just like what she had been displaying or is she actually a soft bunny on the inside? Is she a vir—I shook my head head nang bigla akong matauhan. Ano ba 'tong mga pumapasok sa kukote ko? I'm just here to find a woman who can be my fake bride, making a deal with her is the most important thing that I'll be doing this night. Nothing more, nothing less.I picked up my pace. Habang naglalakad ako'y may nakasalubong akong isang matandang lalaki, nakahawak sa braso ang isang babae na isa sa nga na auction kanina.The man looked old enough to be her grandfather yet the woman still smiled at him seductively with her bright red lips. This world has come to the point where money is what makes people alive, and is also the reason for their deaths. Mahina ang kahit na sinong tao sa harap ng nakakabulag na kislap ng pera, mapa-Solaries o Luminar man 'yan.While waiting for a certain 'VIP 7' to come for her, inikot muna ni Asteria ang buong kwarto na pinasukan niya. She inhaled the inexplicable sweet scent emitted by the lighted candles that seemed to enhance and lighten her mood. Her feet crushes every red-colored rose petal that lays beneath her feet as she strolled inside the wide and dim room.Niyakap niya ang sarili ng maramdaman ang lamig ng kwarto. "Ba't naman kasi ang tagal ng lalaking 'yon?" Sambit niya habang nakatigil at nakaharap sa pinto.She had mapped out her plan earlier. Failing is not her option, lalong-lalo na ngayon na marami ng nakakita sa mukha niya kanina.Para siyang napasong tumakbo papunta sa loob ng cr nang marinig niya ang mga lagapak ng hakbang na galing sa lakbas ng kwarto. She was sure those footsteps were headed towards the room.It must be him. Naisip niya habang sinara ang pinto ng cr. She leaned at the door and pressed her ears against, waiting for sounds that will give her the slightest idea of what'
Napadaing ako ng marahas niya akong isinandal sa pader. He pinned me on the wall and pressed his lips on mine. Nang maghiwalay ang aming mga labi, tumingin ang mapupungay niyang mga mata sa akin."Did I hurt you?" He roughly asked. Habol niya ang hininga habang nakapukol ang tingin sa'kin.I gently shook my head. He then smiled, and pressed his lips on mine again.Naglalaban ang dila namin sa loob ng aming bibig. His mouth is so warm and sweet. Para akong tinututunaw ng init niya. Hindi nagtagal ay maramdaman ko na rin ang pag-iinit ng aking katawan. My body is against him, I can feel his hardness in soft skin. Hindi ko mapigilan ang pag-ungol habang naglalakbay ang kanyang dila sa mga sulok ng aking bibig.Hindi ko na matandaan kung paano ako napunta sa sitwasyong ito. Pumunta lang naman ako dito sa Paradis para makipagkita kay Owen. But this unknown guy suddenly came to me.He looked wasted ng mabunggo niya ako sa may hagdan. His eyelids were dropping, he looked high on drugs. And th
A tear escaped my eye when I felt his entire manhood enter me. It felt bigger than it looked like. Parang may kung anong napunit sa loob ko na talaga namang nagpapikit sa akin sa kirot.I bit my lower lip at hindi ko namalayang unti unti n palang bumabaon ang mga kuko ko sa likod niya.When slowly opened my eyes, bumungad sa akin ang mukha niya. There was a trace of reluctance in his face as he slowly straightened his back and pulled his body away. Ngayon ay nakaluhod siya sa harap ko without removing his c*ck inside me. He's between my open legs. Umatras siya ng kaunti at dahil dito'y medyo nahugot ang sandata niya sa loob ko.I really wish he wouldn't move, it hurts.Nakita ko ang bahagyang pag-awang ng labi niya habang nakatitig sa may bukana ko."F*ck" he cursed while looking down."Why didn't you tell me?" I looked away para iiwas ang mga mata kong naluluha dahil sa matinding kirot."Y–you didn't ask" I trailed and bit my lower lip.Nagulat nalang ako nang bigla niya akong siilin
Dahan dahan kong ibinuka ang aking mga mata at nagising sa isang 'di pamilyar na kisame. Bumangon ako at napagtantong sa isang couch pala ako nakatulog. Inilibot ko ang tingin sa loob ng maliit na kwarto at bigla akong napayuko ng maramdaman ang pumipintig na sakit sa noo ko.When I lowered my hand from my forehead, I saw several scratches on wrist and just like a movie, everything that happened last night played in my brain.Nagmadali akong bumangon at sinuot ang pantalon at white long sleeve ko na nakalapag sa sahig. I searched for my phone and found it quickly after I heard it rang. It was Jomer."Sir asan po kayo?" Bungad agad nito"Pick me up here at Paradis." Nanghihina kong sagot."Ayos lang po ba kayo sir?" Nag-aalalang tanong ng nasa kabilang linya ng mapansin nito na may kakaiba sa boses ko."I'm fine, don't worry. Just hurry up." Saad ko at pinutol na ang linya.While waiting for Jomer, I tried my best to recall what she looked like. But to no avail, all I can remember wa
I blinked off raindrops as I continued my steps inside Paradis. Its familiar neon lights bringing the word PARADIS alive is stationed just ln top of the entrance.Paradis is the biggest club here in Noirville which serves as an oasis for the people who loves the night more than the day.And Oliver, as its owner, is one of the prominent figures of the city.Pumasok ako sa loob ng club at nakitang may isang lalaking naka bkack suit and tie ang kumakausap kay Kian. Parang may kung ano silang hindi mapagkasunduan.I paid no attention to them and headed to the stairs that lead to Oliver's office. Nagulat nalang ako ng makabangga ako into a hard something. Pagtingin ko ay isa pala itong lalaki.I wasn't able to recover my balance on time at nung matutumba na ako ay hinigit ako ng lalaki paharap sa dibdib niya.With my 5'6 frame, I felt him tower over me. Inangat ko ang ulo upang tingnan siya at sinalubong ako ng kulay luntiang mga mata.His eyes reminded me the color of a deep green forest
Besides being called as a cold-eyed man, it is also widely known that he is a womanizer. Rumors have it that he never slept twice with the same woman. On that note, why was he looking for me, a woman whom he already slept with?Umalis na ang sundalo ngunit nang makalayo na ito'y nakita kong lumingon ito upang tingnan uli sina Asteria at Zeke. He can feel that something is off about the pair pero napagpasyahan niyang 'wag ng makialam pa lalo na't isang Zeke Devereaux ang kasama ng babae.Nang makalayo ng ilang hakbang sa lalaki, Asteria siezed this chance to run away from him."Wait!" Habol ni Zeke."Bwesit, bwesit, bwesit talaga!" Usal ni Asteria habang matuling tumatakbo.She had waisted ten minutes of her time there and there's a high chance now that she might miss her target.Sumuot si Asteria sa grupo ng mga tao at tuluyang naglaho sa paningin ni Zeke. Nang marating ni Zeke ang gitna ng dance floor ay hindi na niya nakita maging anino man lang ng babae."Damn it!" Nagbuga siya ng h
While driving along the road where my target is supposed to be, may nadaanan akong isang building. Nakapaskil sa taas ng entrance nito ang isang signage where the words The Black Pearl is illuminated by led lights.That was it. I stepped on the brake at ipinarada ang motor sa back alley ng building. I've reached the restaurant where Erwin Alvarez is supposed to be having a dinner with someone whom he had a business transaction with.The goal of this mission is to kill Erwin Alvarez. Isa siyang key figure sa gobyerno ng Estria. Bukod sa pagiging pinuno ng Reform partylist ay siya rin ang pinapa-handle ng Ministry of Defense sa arms dealing.At ayon sa intel na nakuha ng grupo namin, nandito ngayong gabi sa The Black Pearl restaurant si Mr. Alvarez upang makipagmeet-up sa isang dealer. It is my mission to stop it because those guns and bombs are what's going to kill my compatriots if I fail.In the note from the box given to me by Oliver was Alvarez bkack sedan's plate number. Nag-ikot
