DEVIL'S WRATH 1: Lucian Velorca (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 38

"LAHAM, next week ko na i-eenroll si Milo. Nakapag-nursery na siya sa Denmark kaya puwede na mag-proceed ng kindergarten."

"Okay, Laham. I'll go with you. I have to check the school for our son's safety."

We're lying in bed now, with me leaning against him and him leaning against the headboard. I can feel his hand stroking my shoulder. I don't know how he convinced Milo to sleep in his own room but he told me, that's a great start for my son. My son needs to be independ in some situation and it could be started by sleeping in his own bed room. Hindi naman ako tumanggi dahil may punto siya.

We're here in the master bedroom, and I just asked my nanny to check him from time to time especially that it is his first time to sleep without me by his side.

I stared at Lucian, eversince we moved into his house I have noticed his big changes. He is still handsome, posess strong feature yet he became gentle and soft only when he's with me and Milo. I suddenly remembered what Lucard told me about his other agenda in life. I wanted to ask him something, but I was hesitant and nervous but my curiosity is eating me.

"L-Laham?" I called him softly, his chin resting on my head.

"Hmm?" narinig kong sabi niya.

"T-Totoo bang hitman ka?"

Bigla na lang siyang natahimik sa tanong ko. Maya-maya, kumalas siya sa 'kin at tinitigan ako.

"Who told you that?"

"S-Si Lucard..."

"That asshole!" I saw how his eyes darken, that's why I didn't removed my gazed at him.

"Totoo ba?"

He stared at me, like he was reading my face.

"If I say yes, will you still love me?"

"So it's true?" I asked him again. He took both of my hands and kissed the backs of them. I felt like there's a hand caressing my heart when I felt how gentle his touch was on mine, and how tender and soft his lips were.

"Yeah, I am, baby. We are all hitmen under the Devil's Organization. We kill people who are on the organization's death list. D.O. is a secret organization, and this is also an order from the government. They don't let people who break the law go unpunished — usually those involved in illegal businesses and agendas. I'm the rank one devil, but we have a founder, a Russian and half Filipino. But if you want me to quit, I will. I can change for you and for our son, Milk." There's no hesitation while he is telling that to me, kaya napahaplos ako sa leeg niya na may tattoo. A wings of a demon that has the letter D... which maybe means devil. Matagal ko na itong nakikita pero tuwing napapadako ang tingin ko dito ay nilulukob ako ng kakaibang kilabot.

Naramdaman ko kung paano nagsitaasan ang balahibo ko habang hinahaplos ko iyon, dahil siguro alam kong noong sumali siya ay marami na siyang napatay. But when I stared back into his eyes, and I saw the warmth in his amber eyes, my fear instantly vanished.

"What makes you join the organization?" I asked because until now, part of me still cannot read him. There are still mysteries in his eyes — he's like a mist, still needing to be unraveled. My eyes wanted to see him beyond the person I know.

"It's a long story," his voice was low, and suddenly I saw the fog in his hazelnut eyes covering his untold miseries.

"I will listen... it's just that, you already know a lot about me, kaya gusto ko rin malaman lahat ng tungkol sa'yo. Where's your family?"

Upon mentioning his family, I saw how his body instantly tensed. How his jaw clenched, and how he shifted his gaze to somewhere as if he was watching unforgettable memories.
