Obsession

Chapter 13-Treywen

Treywen

When I first saw her, it felt like raindrops started to synch in slow motion. It was more than just her beauty, she was radiant. She emitted this positive energy that I'm not capable of giving. She is the perfect Belle to a beast like me.

Everything was perfect in my eyes. I can court her. It is a common knowledge that I am the only son, the only heir of the Treywen Academy's owners. I can have everything I want, including her. I know they also come from a wealthy family, my parent's won't have a say. She's the perfect addition to my once lonely life.

I haven't even gone near her, but my heart was frantic just by laying my eyes on her. I was determined, I will come and get her. I will make her mine, the queen of my life. Heck I will give her anything just to make her happy.

Only to realize, I was too late. My cousin Chester had her first. I could kill him right there inside the campus if I wanted too, but I'm not a murderer. I'm not that cruel. Gusto kong mapa sa akin si Pop, but I want her to be mine in a way that she would really love me. I don't want her to stay with me just because I forced her to.

I may be a hypocrite to say that because I am an enabler myself- an enabler of another sick psycho who wants Pop for himself. I may be nuts to trust him, but I would cross heaven and hell just to be with her, just to make her love me.

We had one job done and that's to eliminate Chester. Not entirely thou, hindi ko alam kung bakit binubuhay pa namin 'to. I mean I don't want to do the dirty work of killing him myself. He's still my cousin after all. I just don't see the sense of keeping him alive after the kidnapping. He could break loose and whistleblow. AND, he could take Pop away from me again.

As for Pop and Mj's dad, all I know is that it was a shady death. I had nothing to do with it because I still had some respect for that man. How he died is also a puzzle to me, but I guess it was a blessing in disguise that now all I have left as an obstruction in having Pop all for myself is this asshole with me, her brother, and that Anthony.

But I was left with no choice. I'm here keeping my head high but deep down I know I'm nothing but just someone who follows orders. One false move and he can kill my family in a snap. He can point my whereabouts and surrender me to the authorities. Lahat ng pinaghirapan ko mawawala at siya lang ang aani sa lahat. Pero kaya kong tiisin lahat para kay Pop. Ganoon ako katanga at kabaliw sa kanya. Ganoon ko siya kamahal.

"You really think you're gonna make her fall for you? Sa tingin mo, mamahalin ka pa niya kapag nalaman niya lahat ng ginawa mo? Lahat ng ginawa niyo?!"

Ah. I almost forgot this asshole can stil talk after all the beating he got. Now's not the perfect timing, mainit ang ulo ko na mag-isa si Pop kasama ang Anthony na iyon. Kahit nandito ako ay alam na alam ko pa rin ang nga ginagawa ni Pop. I have eyes and ears everywhere. I have the money and the capacity to keep track of her every move.

It doesn't sit well with me that Anthony and Pop are in the resthouse alone together. What if he steals my Pop away? Bestfriend siya na biglang nawala at ngayon basta-basta na lang na babalik para magmukhang knight in the shining armor?
But then again, I'm just following orders, I have little to no say about these things.

I held his collar with my hands while I fumingly look at blood-soaked face. "Kahit anong sabihin mo diyan, nakatali at bugbog sarado ka pa rin. You would barely even walk kahit hindi ka nakatali. And she will love me! You'll see!" Isang halakhak ang kumawala kay Chester.

"It's funny how you and him are so desperate to have her attention. Samantalang ako, we were bound to be with each other. Ikakasal na nga kami if only you didn't drug me and kidnapped me, you asshole!" And he just received another set of beating after that. My vision just started seeing red when he started mumbling about how he and Pop were meant for each other. I know that's not true because Pop is bound to be mine!

I may be a follower now, but I'll make sure I'll have Pop all for myself. Hangad ko rin na walang sagabal na Chester, walang epal ne kumocomfort na bestfriend, walang makapangyarihang kapatid, at mas lalong walang kahati pagdating sa mamahalin niyang kabiyak.

I left the asshole in his basement below. I went to my mini bar in this nice hideout. I had lots of these na hindi alam ng mga magulang ko because I always wanted to relax and collect my thoughts. I was known for my arrogant extrovert heir title in the campus, but they never knew me deeper than that. Walang sino man ang totoong kaibagan ko na gusto akong samahan hindi dahil sa mayaman ako o lapitin ako ng babae. My parents were only there when I did something they can be proud of.

I basically had no support system and was living a lonely life. I've grown to know that people are fake and would use you for their own benefit. But Pop was different. She was kind, genuine, and always tries to see the good in everything.

I poured myself some whiskey and called him.
"Hanggang kailan sasamahan ng Anthony na yan ang mahal ko?" I blurted out as soon as he accepted the call. He chuckled lightly.

"You better calm your horses, man. Good things come to those who wait. If it makes you feel any better, kasalanan mo lahat ng to." Napakunot namang ang noo ko sa mga sinabi niya. Paanong naging kasalanan ko? Eh sinusunod ko lang namang lahat ng utos niya.

"Paanong naging kasalanan ko to? Nagtatago na nga ako diba? Ako lang ba ang may kasalanan? Diba ikaw rin?"

"You're the main suspect for Chester's disappearance, you dimwit. Kailangan linisin ang pangalan mo and you need to speak up. Kailangan mo nang sumuko."

"Are you crazy? Edi sa kulungan ang bagsak ko? Anong tingin mo sakin? Tanga?" This man started to get on my nerves again. After everything I did to help him, did he really think I would back down easily?

"It's either susuko ka or papapuntahin ko ang mga pulis diyan sa hideout mo. Or better yet, pwede ka namang magpainterview and deny all the allegations hindi ba?"

"You may have a point, I can say that I started feeling the pressure and shame of dragging our family name into this mess." 

"Diskarte mo na yan. I gotta go. Marami pa 'kong kailangan tapusin." He ended the call after that.

It may not be a bad idea after all. And the best part is, I can say that he is the real suspect and that my good name was just dragged. After that, I can have Pop all for myself.
