Bitten In Love (GL)

Chapter V: Offer

"Jeez! You really did come here for this little kid," the man said as he's holding a glass of whiskey on his hand.

Ngayon ay narito lang kami sa second floor ng club. Wala masiyadong tao dahil ang lahat ay nae-engganyo na magsayaw sa baba lalo pa't naroon ang mga babae. I even saw Criselda down there too, but she was just sitting on a couch.

The woman beside us didn't utter a word. No emotions flashed on her face. Palipat-lipat lang ang tingin ko sa kanilang dalawa dahil hindi ko naman talaga alam ang nangyayari.

"I guess she already knows kung ano ka? Right, darling? Have you remembered everything now?" the man gazed at me.

I remained silent. Kahit anong pilit ko na pag-alala it's no use. Sumasakit lang ulo ko sa tuwing pinipilit ko 'yon. But his words has a big impact to me and my memories. Totoo nga yata ang sinasabi niya because I can feel it. Parang may kulang sa akin, para akong nasa isang panaginip na hindi ko alam ang katapusan.

"Victoria, what's up with her? When I heard what happened I was shocked too. But I was even more shocked when Reniella tipped me that you're protecting a different being. Hilarious! Hahaha!" the man looked so amused.

"Right, the reason why that bitch was there that night at my villa? You guys should really stop meddling with my personal life. I should've slashed that woman's throat when I saw her," what she said sent chill to my spine.

Beh, ba't naman ganito? Feel ko para akong ham na naiipit at nasa-sandwich sa pinag-uusapan nila. I feel like I shouldn't be here.

Mukhang sa paraan nang pananalita ng lalaki ay kilalang-kilala niya si Madam Victoria.

"Are you like this to your other victims as well? Very protective, huh?" he chuckled.

I gazed at Madam Victoria. Hindi ko namalayang kanina pa pala siya nakatingin sa akin—blankly. Agad akong umiwas nang tingin.

I was about to leave them both on their conversation nang mas nauna pa akong hilahin ni Madam Victoria paalis.

"Teka, sandali," marahang nagpumiglas ako sa pagkaldkad niya sa akin.

"Victoria! You're really leaving this conversation huh? Qu'est-ce qu'il y a, Victoria ? Pourquoi? Parce qu'elle me semble familière, vous semble-t-elle familière ?" the man shouted behind us.

Her eyes went dark as if his words have ticked a bomb inside her system, "Stop meddling with my business, Simon."

"Stop meddling with your business when you fucking killed my client?! Bullshit Monteux!" the man shouted in anger.

Dali-daling naglakad si Madam Victoria papalapit sa lalaki at hinawakan ito sa kwelyo, her other hand pointing at him. Paniguradong bakas ang takot at pangamba sa hitsura ko ngayon. Hindi ko alam kung pipigilan ko ba sila o ano. I am also shocked on the information I just heard. She killed his client. Sino?

May kutob na ako pero ayoko namang pangunahan ang lahat. Kaya niya ba talagang gawin 'yon?

"Shut your fucking mouth, you don't know anything!"

"I don't know anything? I fucking let Reniella do everything! And guess what? Everything is pointing on you. Hindi na ako magtataka, you already did this multiple times. Mr. Miyamura is a great deal and you fucking ruined it just for what? Your little bitch?!" isang matunog na sampal ang natanggap niya kay Madam Victoria matapos niya sabihin 'yon.

The man lost his mobility at agad na napaupo sa lakas ng pagkakasampal sa kaniya. He was holding his face surpressing his annoyance of what she did. Kung kanina ay iritang-irita si Madam, ngayon ay bumalik na naman sa panlalamig ang ekspresyon niya. She did what she did with no single remorse. As if the guy deserved her wrath.
