DEVIL'S WRATH 1: Lucian Velorca (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 10

                    UNTI-UNTI kong inalam kung ano ang mahigpit na bagay na nakagapos sa akin dahil hindi talaga ako makagalaw. Dahan-dahan kong dinilat ang mga mata ko at agad na bumungad sa paningin ko ang mukha ng demonyo na komportableng nakayakap sa akin. His arm was possessively wrapped around my waist, while his head was comfortably resting above my chest. His red lips were slightly open, while his thick eyelashes were naturally curled.

What a handsome devil. Such a sexy, hot, handsome devil.

Naririnig ko ang mabibigat niyang paghinga, halatang ang himbing ng tulog niya. I also noticed the slight dark circles around his eyes that made me wonder how many nights he was able to sleep peacefully, knowing the chaos in his life.

Natigilan ako at nahiwagaan sa mga kilos niya lalo na kagabi. Demonyo pa rin naman siya, ang kaso nga lang parang medyo nabawasan ang sungay niya. I found gentleness in his dark aura and he was extra caring, kaya hindi ko tuloy maiwasang magduda kung may pinaplano siya sa akin. Lucian is such an insidious man; every move he makes is fraught with danger.

Based on what he told me last night, the world is cruel and unfair—and I didn't forget that the world is also playful, and trusting people is just hard to do. Some are just a façade of kindness, iyong akala mo mabait, 'yon pala may plano ng hindi maganda sa'yo. They would tame you, and when you start to trust them, that's when they'll show their real intentions so better be mindful especially in distinguishing the right person to trust.

Bigla na lang nabuo sa isip ko na baka gusto niyang kunin ang anak ko, that's why he's taming me and luring my soft sides, for it would be easier for him to get my baby? Puwes, nagkakamali siya! I won't let him take my child from me no matter what happens. I already learned a lot just to be fooled.

Muli akong napatingin sa kanya. Sobrang lapit lang namin sa isa't isa. We're still both naked from what we did last night. I could feel his bare skin on mine as half of our bodies were covered by the blanket. Kitang-kita ko ang nagiigting na kalamnan ng kanyang braso, at ang malapad niyang dibdib na medyo mabalahibo.

Muling bumalik ang tingin ko sa kanya—kahit yata sinong babae ay hindi maiiwasang mahumaling sa taglay niyang itsura. His face is like an artwork sculpted perfectly by a great artist. Lalo na ang matangos niyang ilong. Yet despite his perfect features—not everyone could get near him.

I became his secretary for almost seven months, but we didn't usually see each other. He was always distant, serious, and cold. Every time we interacted, I always felt like a statue in front of him. I couldn't move—left speechless by the intensity of his gaze. I never imagined myself staring at him this close.

Lucian Velorca. Mayaman. Gwapo. Demonyo.

I mentally laughed at my own thoughts. I guess wala talagang perpekto sa mundo.

Well, honestly, falling in love with powerful people like him and Hazelton was never my thing. I never dreamt of marrying a guy who's rich and powerful. I only wanted a simple man who could respect, love, and accept me for who I am—like my father. Not rich, but responsible and knows how to treat a woman right. But I guess, that would be impossible. My situation is already different, especially that I am trapped by this devil's wrath. Lintek, binuntis pa ako.

Gusto ko sanang baklasin 'yung kamay niyang nakapulupot sa katawan ko, pero natatakot ako baka magising siya at magalit na naman. Buti na lang kahit papaano, nabalutan ng kumot ang hubad kong katawan.

Ang dikit kasi ng katawan naming dalawa—you'll find no space in between us. Ang higpit ng pagkakayakap niya, akala mo naman talaga. Naiilang din ako sa posisyon naming ganito. This is not for me, and actually, this is our first time sleeping together. Worst, he even made me his pillow. Nakakangalay na kaya. Bwisit na demonyong ito.
