Alexa's POV
I could feel the beads of sweat trickle down my forehead as my grip on the gun tightened even more. I held my breath while waiting for the man I'd been spying on for a while now. When the opportunity came, I immediately sprung into action and then buried the muzzle on his temple.
Fuck it!
Desperado na akong mahanap ang kapatid ko and I'm willing to do anything in my capacity to find her. That includes confronting one of the deadliest people I regretted I knew.
"Hands where I can see them!" pabulong kong utos habang nakatutok ang baril ko sa ulo niya. Agad namang itinaas ng lalaki ang kaniyang mga kamay at inihagis ang kaniyang baril na agad kong sinipa palayo. Dali-dali kong inabot ang mga pulsuhan at agad pinosasan.
"Umayos ko nga ng lakad," asik ko habang patuloy na kinakaladad ang hawak na lalaki patungo sa naglalakihang tarangkahan. "And no funny business. One wrong move at babaon sa 'yo ang bala ng baril ko."
I stared at the massive white gate before our eyes. It's my uncle's but as you would know, we hate each other's guts. Kung pahihintulutan ng langit, hindi ako mag-aaksaya ng oras para lagutan siya ng hininga.
Nang mapansin ng iba pa niyang tauhan, agad nila akong pinalibutan pero pinapili ko sila: pagbubuksan nila ako ng tarangkahan, o papuputukin ko ang ulo nitong hawak ko.
Mas pinili nila ang una at sumenyas na sumunod sa kanilang pumasok sa loob ng mansyon.
Himala, madali silang kausap ngayon. Madalas kahit kalapating nagawi lang ng lipad ay papaputukan nila. Gayunpaman, hindi ko pa rin bibitawan itong hostage ko. Not yet. Hindi ako kampante sa inaasta nila at advantage ko 'tong lalaking 'to.
Nang makalapit kami sa pagkalaki-laking double door na gawa sa narra at ginto, agad itong binuksan ng mga kasambahay at bumungad sa 'kin ang mukha ng isa sa pinaka kinamumuhian kong tao.
Mr. Rolando Grande, Cammie's step-father.
Their family is too fucked-up and honestly, I don't ever want to see this man. But I have no other option but to face this ruthless man because he might just have the biggest clue in Cammie's disappearance.
I challenged his gaze and threw sharp glares at him. Kung makakapatay lang sana ang titig, kaninang-kanina pa siya naliligo sa sarili niyang dugo.
I rolled my eyes and felt disgusted as I studied the towering man before me. Bukod sa rumami lang ang kaniyang puting buhok, walang nagbago sa itsura niya. He still smokes a cigar, and wears his signature Kiton K-50 suit, and white long sleeve shirt underneath with the first three buttons open.
Hindi ba siya nandidiri sa kaniyang mala-gubat niyang dibdib? His chest may be toned and chiseled pero wala pa rin siyang binatbat kay detective. Hindi ko talaga malaman kung anong nakita sa kaniya ni tita.
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today," mapang-uyam niyang bungad sabay buga ng usok na siyang inirapan ko. This man never fails to piss the shit out of me. I'm really annoyed by the fact that I'm breathing the same air as him.
And what's with men and their love of smoke?
Hindi na ako nagpaligoy-ligoy pa at agad isinagawa ang pinunta ko rito.
"Where are you hiding her?" I spitefully asked.
Agad nagbago ang kaniyang mukha at napalitan ng nakakasindak na ekspresyon pero hindi ako nagpaapekto at patuloy lang sa pagbato ng matatalim na tingin sa kaniya.
"Are you accusing me, Alexa?"His voice was cold, enough for his goons to step back and watch from the sidelines. I just eyed him and watched as his composure starts crumbling.
