The Beast in the City

Kabanata 11

I drank all my frustrations later that night. I was so furious that I could actually make the mansion explode in an instant. I almost brought hell. I was fuming mad. And the last time I was like this was when the authorities discovered and burned my large plantation of marijuana.

I lost a lot of money at that moment. Billions of fucking money. And now, this. I'm so close to the top. A little more push and I will be the most powerful in the world, but that goddamn woman just broke one of my wings! She ruined my plan!

Napainom ako sa inis at muling nagsalin. I know I needed to calm myself down, but the rage in my chest just can't. It's burning the shit out of me. Lalo na kapag naaalala ko ang mukha ng baliw na babaeng 'yon. Her innocent face deceives everyone despite her wrong actions.

Ang akala yata nila, porque wala siya sa katinuan at mukhang inosenteng bata ay hindi na makakagawa ng mali o masama. That doesn't hide the wrong actions she took. She couldn't just cover it up with her innocent look. Whether she's in the right mind or not, she still made a huge mistake. Her condition will never be an excuse. Being gullible, childish, and lunatic isn't a damn accepted excuse!

"Hey, are you alone?" A woman's hand smoothly rested on my shoulder.

I didn't bother to speak. I feel like I'd be spitting bullets if I did that.

The woman giggled. "I guess you are. Can I join you?" She traced my shoulders with her seductive touch down my back.

"Get your dirty hand off of me," I warned, almost a whisper.
 
She giggled again. I gritted my teeth with her annoying giggles. This bitch won't like it if she puts me on edge. If that happens, I'll make sure she ends up with cold feet.

"This dirty hand can satisfy you in minutes. And it's as hot as my fucking mouth-"

She shrieked when I poured her my whiskey.

"What the hell?!" She spat.

Hindi ko na siya kailangang tignan dahil naiimagine ko na ang basang basang mukha at damit niya. Instead, I poured my glass again.

"Ugh! Asshole," inis na sabi niya bago padabog na umalis.

Serves you right, bitch.

I was drinking from my glass when someone chuckled at my back.
 
"What was that, man?"

As soon as I heard RK's playful voice, his arm was already resting on my shoulder.

Hindi ako nagsalita at hinawi ang braso niya bago uminom. He chukled and sat at the stool beside me.

"Got a problem?" he asked and signaled the bartender to give him some drink.

"I guess you're in big trouble. To... see you here drinking shit and to dump a fucking gorgeous woman," he chuckled and accepted his drink.

"Shut up and just leave," I whispered and took a quick sip.

"Let me guess. It's either money or a ruined plan. Which plant did get burned this time?" He smirked playfully.
 
I shut my eyes tightly as I was reminded of what happened. The rage that I've been feeling has gotten worse.

"Can you just leave, asshole? I need to be fucking alone," nagtitimping saad ko at sinamaan siya ng tingin.

He smirked more. I bet he was enjoying the view. To see me burst in rage says it excites him.

"Ngayon ko lang ulit nakita si Johnny Blake. I must enjoy." Ngisi niya. "For the Ghost Rider to show up unexpectedly, there must be something serious that happened. Care to share?" He raised a brow.

"Tss. Gay." Sumimsim ako sa iniinom.

Natawa lang siya at iniikot ang upuan para harapin ako. He was now leaning on the counter, watching me with so much amusement.
