The Ruthless Man

Chapter Six

I woke up feeling dizzy,my body still hurts. I'm in a different room,it is a big room with the essence of life,very different from the room that I came from.

"You're awake.",I heard someone said. I immediately turned my head to where the voice came from.

"Bax,I thought I'm dead.",I said. umupo ako sa kama at tiningnan ang paligid ko. Puro puti ang kulay ng room na ito.

"Lee doesn't want you dead,he ordered me to check on you and then I saw you lying on the cold steel ground. What happened? You disobeyed him again?",he sighed because of fraustration.

"Hindi ko siya sinuway,he saw me pushing Gayle on the floor. Gayle is the one who started the fight,she insulted me.",I explained,looking down at the floor,my eyes started to water.

Lumapit siya sakin.he patted my back gently,"Hush. Dry your tears. Lee just misunderstood,I'll explain to him later."

"You don't have to,nothing's gonna change. He's a monster.",I said,full of hatred. I loathe him.

"Lee is not that bad. Just give him a chance and don't disobey him,you'll knoe him better."

"Not bad? He took my freedom,he dragged me away from my love ones and torture me here,how could you say that he's not bad?",I bursted.

Hindi siya makasagot sa sinabi ko,he hugged me,"I'll get you some food,ok? Take a rest,I know you're tired."

I nodded.

NAGISING AKO dahil sa ingay ng pintong kumalabog. Agad akong napaupo sa kama.

"You,whore,",his eyes is on raging fury,the monster is here again,"you like other man holding you instead of me?!"

Lumapit siya sakin at napasigaw ako ng bigla niya akong hatakin patayo sa braso,he gripped it tightly,it'll bruise again.

"Yes! I'd rather be with other man than be with you,you pedo monster!",I shouted at his face while my eyes began to water because of fear and fraustration.

HE COULD FEEL the fear vibrating out of her body,and he loved the feeling. But what he heard crushed his ego.

He slapped her face which made her cried out because of pain,"You dared to answer me that? Huh?! You fucking love to be punished,don't you?",he's still gripping her right hand,his other hand gripped her hair at the back of her head.

"Let go of me! You asshole,can't you stop abusing me?!",she shouted. She is a very stubborn girl,"why are you doing this?",she softly asked,tears streaming down on her cheeks.

He let go of her and she fell to the ground. Lumuhod siya para magkapantay sila and he softly carressed her swollen cheek,"This is your father's karma,sweetheart."

She sobbed,"Please...let me go. Let me go home...",she touched his hand on her cheeks,"I miss my father,my family. And Francis."

His eyes darkened as she said the name of her lover. He gripped her nape and and he pushed her on the bed,"you fucking miss him? Well sweetheart,let me tell you this. He's not coming back!"

Her eyes widen,"what do you mean?",her bodu shook uncontrollably and he loved the feeling of it.

"I killed him."

Suddenly,Marie stood up and punched him on his chest again and again,"You bastard,"and she choked a sob while punching him,"what did you do to him? What did you do?!"

He grabbed both of her hands,"I killed him,I tortured him first and I killed him."

"You filthy monster!",she spit on his face,"I hate you,I hate you!"
