ROCKET pulled away from the kiss and saw Rameses' shocked expression. Napangiti siya sa nakita sa lalaki bago nilingon si Regan na walang emosyon ang mukha. Hindi alam ni Rocket kung anong pumasok sa isip niya at natiis niyang halikan ang lalaking katulad ni Ram ng ilang minuto. She should be disgusted kissing a criminal but it was unbelievably satisfying to see Regan‟s furious emotions became evident.
"B-boss, I didn't! I swear!" mabilis na pag-explain ni Rameses. Umakto naman siyang nalulungkot.
"Aw, you're denying what you did to me when in fact you came in my face a lot of times?" saad niya sa malungkot na boses. Nang malakas siyang higitin ni Rameses at ibaling nito ang malamig na tingin ay nginisian niya ang lalaki. "Good luck." She whispered tauntingly before pushing him away and starts walking upstairs. Narinig niya ang malakas na kalabog sa salas ngunit hindi niya na 'yun nilingon pa.
That's right, idiots. Kill each other like the criminals you are.
Rocket couldn't win when it comes to physically fighting, yes she admits that. But thinking of making them kill each other? Napa-ngisi siyang muli sa bright idea na naisip niya. Alam niya kung gaano nirerespeto nila Evo ang boss nila kaya kung gagamitin niya ang pagsuway ng mga ito kay Regan ay panigurado siyang magkakagulo ang mga lalaki. Ngayon pa't wala si Cain para pigilan si Regan kung sakali man na patayin nito lahat ng tauhan ng La Cosa Nostra ay hindi impossibleng manalo siya ngayon.
Naisip naman niya kung sino ang sunod niyang bibiktimahin. Uriel doesn't pretty much stay in this place and River was always aloof and alone. Rocket knows that Cain is the most trusted person of Regan and if she could break the friendship they have, it will be a bloody fight. Ang problema nga lang ay ilang linggo nang hindi dumadalaw ang lalaki sa kinaroroonan niya at hindi niya ito magagamit. Kung si Evo naman ay mukhang mahihirapan siyang akitin ito.
Napa-igtad siya nang malakas na bumukas ang pinto ng kuwarto at pumasok si Regan. Blood splatters were all over the white button-ups he's wearing and thinking that Rameses was already dead made her celebrate a victorious win inside her head. Nang hablutin siya ni Regan sa braso ay pinigilan niyang mapa-igik sa sakit ng pagkakahawak nito bago sinalubong ang berdeng mata ng lalaki na wala kahit isang emosyon.
"Nice try, Rocket." He said before punching her in the guts. Rocket gasped for air and felt like vomiting. "I've been trying to be nice to you but here you are triggering the shit out of me."
(This part is cut due to inappropriate scenes.)
Habang nagbibihis si Regan ay doon lang tumayo si Rocket mula sa pagkakahiga. She turned her glaring gaze at him while he buckled his belt and it was really amusing how her emotion resurfaces evidently.
"Bakit hindi mo na lang ako patayin?" anito.
"Because I'm not yet done playing with you." sagot niya saka pinulot ang duguan na damit at tinignan si Rocket. "You don't have to struggle whenever I fuck you, Rocket. You're just wasting your energy because once I'm satisfied with your body I will put a bullet in your head, all right?"
"I will just ask your minions to kill me then."
"Minions?" natatawang aniya. "They only listen to what I say, Rocket and if you ain't going to believe me, ask them yourself."
"Can you let me talk to my superior?" sagot nito na pinagtakha niya. Umiwas naman ng tingin ang babae. "Gusto ko lang tanungin kung bakit niya nagawa sa'kin 'to. I could've at least known the truth before I die, right?"
Regan nodded. "I'll make the arrangements." He answered before leaving her.
NANG magising si Regan ng madaling araw ay lumabas siya ng kuwarto niya para kumain. Hindi siya kumain ng hapunan dahil na din sa pagod niya at agad siyang nakatulog nang makahiga sa kama. As soon as he took the last step of the stairs, Regan saw Rocket staring at void in the living room while the lights are all off. Ang tanging liwanag lang na meron ay ang ilaw sa garden at patio.
Hindi naman niya ito pinansin saka dumiretso sa kusina at binuksan ang ilaw doon.
Gumawa siya ng sandwich dahil 'yun lang ang tanging pagkain na alam niyang gawin. Hindi naman din siya marunong magluto ng kahit ano at ang alam lang niya ay ang mag-mix ng kung ano-anong alak. Nang matapos ipalaman ang mayonnaise ay nilagay niya 'yun sa plato at kumuha ng alak saka siya dumiretso sa salas at nilapag 'yun sa harap ni Rocket. She turned her gaze at him when he sat beside her and smiled.
"What are you doing here?" "Wala. Masama ba?"
"Why are you not sleeping?"
"Ano bang pakialam mo? Bwiset."
"I'm just asking." Sagot niya saka kumagat sa sandwich na hawak at iminuwang 'yun kay Rocket. "Sandwich?"
Rocket rolled her eyes. "You're annoying." She answered and was about to leave but he pulled her arm to stay. "Ano ba?"
"Stay." tugon niya at wala naman nagawa ang babae kung „di ang maupo. Umusog ito palayo sa kanya at mahina siyang natawa sa ginawa nito. "Do you hate me that much?"
"Are you seriously asking me that?" she asked and Regan nodded. "Let me remind you what you did to me, Regan. First, you beat the shit out of me, raped me, you ordered your guards to rape me, beat me again, shot me and broke my bone. Now ask me again why I hate you."
"It's your fault why I did that. You disobeyed me, you tried to fight me, you spit on me and you're trying to kill me for the reason I don't know. I don't know what I did to make you so fucking mad at me but you always glare at me like you're already killing me inside your head. I should be the one angry here because you fooled me and tried to sneak information about La Cosa Nostra, right? I didn't do anything to you without a reason, Rocket. You made me do it."
"So kasalanan ko pala lahat ng nangyari sa'kin? Gano'n ba ang punto mo?"
"Yes. I am a nice person when you're obeying me. See how I treated you, bought you clothes and dressed you like a normal person? But you triggered me and that's the reason why I hurt you. I wouldn't reach the point where I make that mouth of yours bleed if you know how to obey."
"You're not my boss to obey, Regan."
He chuckled and sipped his liquor. "Yeah? Well don't upbraid me for hurting you when you're being a bitch towards me, Rocket. I am the boss inside this house and I take no orders from anyone below me including you. Understand?"
