SIN [ completed ]

Chapter 3

The next day, after making sure Akil had gone home with my son, I headed to the company where I was going to apply. I took a deep breath before walking in and going straight to the interview room.

I felt kind of nervous. All the other applicants who came out of the room had slumped shoulders, looking defeated. I fixed my hair and made sure I looked presentable. When my name was called, I immediately stood up and went inside. They signaled me to sit down, so I did, and handed them my resume. I bit my lips and tried to calm myself down. Come on, Axl! You've been working with the Montenegros for 12 years, and you know very well that Montenegros have high standards, so there's no doubt you'll get accepted here. But hell, I knew myself, and fucking hell, I was so nervous because I might end up like the others who went in before me, even though my records were good.

"Mr. Axl Louie Saavedra?" I looked up and sat straighter, smiling at them.

"Yes. It's me." I got confused when the two interviewers started to murmur, looking at me and then at my resume. They kept looking back and forth between me and the paper, then nodded at each other.

"Ah, is there something wrong with my resume?" The two interviewers grimaced before handing my resume back to me, which made me even more puzzled.

"I'm sorry, but we received an order that we are not allowed to accept a man named Axl Louie Saavedra. We don't have any problems with your resume and your outstanding performances in your previous job, and as much as we want you to be part of our company... We're really sorry, Mr. Saavedra, but we were just doing our job."

"What? Who ordered you that? I mean, why?" They remained silent and looked at each other, avoiding my gaze.

"We just got a notice, but don't worry, we will recommend a company that will surely accept you, and Mr. Saavedra, this is the only company that allowed you to apply."

"Even if you apply to any other company, it will be the same. They will all recommend the same company." My eyebrows furrowed as I looked at my resume. What? What the hell does this mean? Did someone order that they are not allowed to accept me? And this company? Who the fuck is it?

"May I know what Company and who is the owner?"

"Vanguard Company." Vanguard? It sounded familiar.

"How can I apply?"

"You can just email them your resume. By the way, Sir Saavedra, you may be applying here as a Unit Manager, but they are looking for a secretary, and based on your resume, you are fit for that job, so good luck." They smiled at me, but I found it suspicious. Why the hell were they telling me this? And what!? They weren't allowed to accept me here!? I took a deep sigh as I walked out of the building and hailed a taxi. I went to the nearest coffee shop to fix my resume again and send it to VG Company.

Vanguard? It sounded really familiar, but I couldn't remember when or where. I ran my hand through my hair, frustrated, and leaned back in the chair.

"Sir, Mukhang problemado kayo a" the driver said without looking at me, his eyes on the road.

"Oo nga po, e. Someone ruined my supposed job."

"Hindi ko man po alam ang buong storya pero, Sir, lahat po may dahilan at keep fighting don't give up." I smiled and looked out the window. A few more minutes later, I arrived at the coffee shop and ordered. I took out my laptop and immediately started fixing my resume. My coffee arrived at the same time.

I didn't mind people's stares at me, and I ignored their whispers. I understood why I always got everyone's attention. Even when I was just Sin's secretary, I always caught people's eyes. I was kind of used to it already. Even when I was pregnant with Louis, people's stares never went away.

I sighed as I sent my resume to VG Company's email. After I finished, I closed my laptop. My eyes widened in shock at the person sitting in front of me. He was crossing his arms, staring at me, with his coffee beside him.

I pursed my lips, feeling my heart start to race, so nervous and anxious. Why is he here? Is he following me? And how come I didn't notice his presence? How did he sit in front of me without me even realizing it?

"W-what are you doing here?" I asked him. He didn't give me a response and just sat there, staring at me while drinking his ice cream-flavored coffee. Up until now, he was still obsessed with that flavor.

"This is a public place, Axl, and everyone has the right to come here," he said coldly.

"What I mean is, there are a lot of tables—"

"You know me, I don't like having coffee alone or with someone I don't know." I didn't dare to say a word. Instead, I rolled my eyes and just minded my own coffee. What the hell is his problem?

"Why don't you speak?" he said as he looked at me again with those cold eyes. I took a deep breath, then glared at him.

"Mr. Montenegro, can you pretend that we don't know each other, like we never met before? And I want you to stay away from me." He put his coffee down, and his dark eyes locked on me. His expression said he wasn't happy hearing what I had just said. It felt like my throat was blocked because of the way he was looking at me, as if he might devour me any minute.

"The audacity to tell me that after what happened to us five years ago? You seduced me that night, and you dare to tell me that? Plus, for running away." I grimaced at what he said. He's blaming me for his mistakes? What a fucking jerk!

"I'll be honest with you, Mr. Montenegro, I didn't seduce you. You are the one who's at fault. You grabbed me instead of your bitch who you were supposed to sleep with during your rut. Your pheromones triggered my heat. So, it's your fault." I answered him, my head held high, which only seemed to piss him off more.

He licked his lips and ran his hand through his hair, pushing it back, never taking his eyes off me. He gritted his teeth as he smirked.

I slowly started to smell the strong scent coming from him, so I immediately covered my nose and looked around. I knew they could smell that Alpha scent because they were looking at our table. I started to feel uncomfortable because of Sin's scent. I glared at him and quickly grabbed my things and rushed out of the coffee shop. Before I could release my scent, it was better to stay away from people. I might attract more Alphas.

My vision started to blur, but no, I can't let this happen. He fucking triggered me again! That jerk! I was about to call a taxi, but a big hand grabbed my waist and lifted me. My eyes widened, and I tried to fight, but his Alpha scent was making me weak. I started to feel the hotness all over my body.

"I-I hate you!" Even though my vision was unclear, I could still see his smirk. I didn't know where he was taking me, but I found myself inside his room. Sin's hand was on my waist, pinching it while kissing my neck.

"Ahh, N-No... stop," I tried to stop him, but his Alpha scent was much stronger than before. It made me lose my mind.

"Sin. Call me Sin," I heard him whisper in my ears. I didn't know what was really happening to me, but I found myself constantly moaning his name. It was just his touch, but the effect was so strong that I even let him do whatever he wanted.

"Fuck..." I heard him curse as he kept leaving hickeys on my body. It's so hot.

"No—" I felt his hot kisses on my lips, which made me feel the hot pleasures he was giving me. I wasn't supposed to be doing this with him, right? But his scent was making me insane, making me lose my mind. He stopped kissing me as I felt it again on my neck and bare shoulders. He lifted me up and walked, and I felt the mattress behind me. He gripped both my hands as he tied them to the bed. I don't know anymore. Everything he did made my body want more. I wanted to stop, I wanted him to stop, but what was I doing?

Sin, I hate you.
