CAPTURED

XLIX

The cold wind passed through the strands of my hair that woke up a bit of me. Napamulat ako mula sa pagkakahimbing at unang natanaw ang napakalaking bintana ng balkonahe na nakabukas sa kalakhang siyudad.I flinched a little when another cold wind blew the sheer curtains and sent a little shiver down my spine.

That 's when I realized that I'm naked under the white sheets that I am currently clutching right now. What the hell?

Para akong nilunod sa kahapon nang unti-unting pinilit inalala ang mga kaganapan. D..did I j..just marry Ka..ius?

Nanlaki ang mata ko at agad na napabalikwas na sana pala ay hindi ko na ginawa. I grunted when I felt a sting of pain down there and even my whole body reacted with it. Para ba akong nakipagbuno sa pitong leon sa sakit ng katawan ko.

Wait, where's Kaius?

I roamed my eyes around the room only to be greeted by none. Where the hell is that beast? After all that happened yesterday? Iiwan n'ya ako sa umaga?

Tatayo na sana ako mula sa pagkakaupo sa kama nang mabigla ako sa nakitang nakakalat sa sahig ng buong silid.

Red petals of roses are scattered all around the place. I can't even see the room's slate as it 's all covered by the crimson flowers. When I looked up, that's when I realized that it is not just flowers.

Up there is a bunch of heart-shaped red balloons hanging up from the room's ceiling. How dumb of me not to notice all these fancy things around me.

" Kaius? " I called hoping that the beast would just pop up out of the red petals on the ground.

True as what the old saying says, speak of the devil and the devil shall appear.

The knob turned right as it slid the door open. I can't help but gasp a little when another bunch of flowers entered the room alongside with the beast who's holding it with its most captivating smile.

" Impatiently waiting for you to wake up, so that I can officially start the day off right " he allured as he strode his way towards mine.

" Good morning, Mia Belle" he whispered and gave me a soft kiss on top of my fore-head as he handed me the humongous bouquet of flowers.

When I say humongous, I am not even kidding. I think the bouquet contains not just a thousand stems of combined white hydrangeas and red roses. It's so big that its diameter covers almost half of the bed. I don't even have any idea how he managed to hold it.

I was pulled back from how amazed I was in the bouquet that he brought me when I felt a light feathered kiss touch the hard-cold stone on my finger.

"How does it feel to be La Cosa Nostra's Queen Mia Belle? " he asked raspily and looked me

intently in the eyes.

His question clutched me back to reality. I looked at him with so much fear in my eyes. Dahil natatakot ako sa maaring kalabasan nito. I was so impulsive last night driven by my heightened libido, I mindlessly signed the marriage contract.

" I hope that you are not regretting it Mia Belle, cuz I'm willing to make love to you over and over again until you decide to be mine " he whispered seriously letting me know that he's not joking about it.

Memories of last night flushed through my skin. The moans, the cries, the whimpers and everything brings heat to my cheeks which I guess he noticed because of his mischievous smile.

" Don't worry Mia Belle, even though you've already decided to be mine, I have no plans of stopping to make love to you every nig—"

" Stop! " I warned as I grabbed one stem from the bouquet and used it to hit him.
