The Billionaire's Wicked Scars | RBS 3

CHAPTER 32 - TOUR

AMARA

Morning comes and it's our second day here in the island. Hindi ko alam kung kailan ako huling nakaramdam ng payapang pagtulog hanggang sa magising ako sa mumunting halik na lumalapat sa pisngi at leeg ko.

We both shared deep and sweet kisses last night as we poured our emotions into it. We even confessed our love for each other, which I had no idea that something like that existed. Para akong lumulutang sa hangin kung iisipin.

When did we start falling for each other? That's quite a mystery to me.

"Wake up, love." His sweet baritone voice whispered behind my ear. I can feel his warm embrace on my lower body beneath the silk blanket.

I yawned and turn to his side. Nagmulat ako ng mga mata para makita ang titig niyang bumabaon sa akin.

"Good morning," aniya at pinatakan ako ng magaang halik sa noo.

I smiled and mutter a soft, "morning."

"Are you hungry? Our breakfast is ready downstairs," tanong niya sabay bumangon sa kama. Naamoy ko ang kanyang shower gel. Mukhang maaga siyang nag-ayos.

I nodded. "I'll just take a shower, first."

"Sure."

Tumayo na din ako at nag-inat. Bumaba si Nikkolai at nagsabing magtitimpla ng kape. Inayos ko naman ang higaan bago tuluyang nagtungo sa banyo para maligo at mag-ayos.

I took a shower and dressed in comfortable beach shorts partnered with a teal-printed tank top. I blowdried my hair quickly and tied it in a high ponytail. After fixing myself, I went downstairs to find Nikkolai on his phone.

"Yes. On the usual spot... thanks, man," he ended the call and turn to me.

"Who's that?" I curiously asked. Sabay kaming nagtungo sa kusina at umupo sa stool.

He prepared pancakes with berries and syrup on top. It smells delicious! Agad akong nakaramdam ng gutom nang maamoy ang aroma ng caramel coffee na gawa niya. Wow.

"My friend, Rake. He'll take us on a tour of the island's best tourist attractions, particularly for couples."

We both started eating our breakfast. Tumango tango ako at inaalalang minsang narinig ko nga ang pangalang iyon.

"Iyong anak n'ong may-ari ng isla?" I asked, remembering the couple who received us here last night.

"Yeah. Mas alam niya ang kabuuang isla kumpara sa akin kaya I asked him to tour us."

At gaya nga ng sinabi niya, dumating ang lalaking nagngangalang Rake Mariano. Sinalubong namin siya sa tabing dagat. Bumaba ito sa kanyang jetski at nakipagkamay kay Nikkolai.

"Congratulations on your marriage, man. Huli na ako sa balitang kinasal ka na," bati nito.

The man stood confidently beside Nikkolai and I find both of them intimidating. Both were wearing simple beach attire yet I am sure that tourists and local women here will flock to these two. However, my husband is more on the cold demeanor opposite to what I'm seeing on his friend.

Nikkolai turned to me and grabbed the small of my back.

"This is my wife, Amara." Pakilala niya sa akin sa lalaki. The man smiled and shook my hand quickly.

"Nice meeting you, Amara. Hindi ko inaakalang darating ang araw na magpapakasal ang lalaking ito," tumawa ito at tinuro si Nikkolai na umiling na lang sa sinabi ng lalaki.

Ngumiti nalang ako. How well did he know Nikkolai? Bigla tuloy akong na-curious sa mga bagay bagay. My mind wandered about his escapades with women. I only heard rumors from his maids back in the palace.
