I buried my face to the soft pillow present in the room where Quin left me earlier. Lumabas ito para tiganan ang panauhin nito. I agreed to stay here while the embarrassment finally drown me. I just let him kisses me there and here. I really liked it honestly. I have no complaints. Pero hindi namna sigurong masasabing malandi na ako? Pwede pa ba iyon finallow ko lang ang heart ko?

Come to think of it. I told him that I like him which that didn't even done justice to what I am really feeling to him. It's not that I don't like him. I like him but I think it's more than that. I can't conclude anything because I am waiting for a sign. Sa tingin ko ay hindi lang normal na pagkagusto ang nararamdaman ko sa lalaking iyon.

If someone would asks me what i like about this man, I would say nothing. Honestly, I don't know why I liked him. Sounds like a excuse but it is what it is. He make me feel things that I shouldn't feel. I was too scared to risks anything. They say life is a gamble. And for me adding Quin to my life is like adding a disaster regressions to my life. Here I am judging Quin's whole life existence. I don't even know who his family really are than those paintings in the wall of ancestry. Hindi ko nga alam kung anong mga gusto nito sa pagkain at ano ang mga hindi gusto nito sa isang tao. He told me he didn't like someone's who disobeys him and stubborn. I think I am that. I am stubborn in nature, and I disobey for my sake. I was taught to be independent, I grew to be one. My parents were strict and I have to prove them that I can do many things not just like being a nurse like they always wanted to me. I became a accountant, a model, a successful woman. Not just a nurse like they always sets for me.

Even though they limit my fly they always place a good room in my heart. They are my parent the made good foundation to my soul. They told me disobeying them means having a wings of my own. They were proud what I have become. Except that I hid the fact that I am a sexy model. I think my parents won't let it slide. My parents are religious, respectable and conservative. I grew to be not, secretly at least.

Hour had passed still Quintin is nowhere to be found in the room. I decided to find him instead. Surprisingly, wala akong nakasalubong na maid sa hall. I exited the beautiful garden pavilion and went to the main palace. I found the people busy and awfully quiet. Still I couldn't find Quin. Sino ba ang bisita nito, he forgot time, I thought maybe I should go home and maybe he should focus on his visitor. Magpapaalam lang sana ako.

I found him in the dining hall with people around. Five of them and one of it was a beautiful woman more beautiful than Lady Alice. however the rest was men, the two almost same age as Quin while the others was on their fifties. I assumed this is a very important guests. Kaya pala ito natagalan dahil marami pala. And plus, the atmosphere was not good. It was awfully cold and pressured. Ano bang mga pinag-uusapan nito. With my distance, I couldn't here anything. I don't want to rudely budge in but I have too. The maids are busy, I can't hindrance them with their works.

"Quin." Tawag ko sa pangalan nito dahilan mapadpad ang tingin nito sa akin at mapatayo. His cold face went to relieved and soften. I smiled at him and bowed to the other people present in the room. With a soft smile I acknowledge their presence. All of them was quiet and watched our interactions. Quin walked towards me and took a peck of kiss to my cheek making me glare at him. How can he shamelessly kiss me here with people around. A note his arm are now snaked to my waist.

"Do you need something, zhena?" He was calling me life that more often I think that is his endearment for me. I looked at him and nodded.

"I need to go back, my cousin is probably waiting for me." I stated making him frowned and sighed after. That is the indication that he doesn't want me to go back. Maybe because what happened earlier. Oh my god. Stop think about it! It's making me feel shy more. I said it as softly as I can I don't think Quin can decline it. After all he has his visitors.

"Uuwi ako, ikaw naman. Asikasuhin mo muna ang mga bisita mo, baka importante..." I hummedly said making him silent and just stared at me intensely. His eyes looked unconvinced. How can I ever convince him in this situation. Uuwi lang naman ako tsaka for sure magkikita pa kami. Knowing him he will shamelessly go to the Ironov palace and look for me.

"No, you're not going home." He declared making me raise my brow. I crossed my arms in front of my breast and looked at him with a fierce look of my eyes. Siguro ay nakakalimutan na nitong maldita ako. I was behaving because he was showing me good things. He can behave like this, aapakan ko ang paa niya. I don't care if he's a Count in this fucking country. He is still a man that wants my lips for a hundred times.

"At bakit?" Mataray na anas ko dahilan mas kumunot ang gwapong mukha nito.

"Let the woman go, my lord. maybe she has her schedule with her other clients." A mock was said by a man the one with a similar age with Quin. His disgusting smirk on his lips as he stared at me from head to toe with critizations. I thought all of them would stay quiet I guess this man is very talkative. Ano niya ba sa tingin ang isang tulad ko? Bayaran na may schedule pa sa ibang kleyente? Does he viewed me that way? At talagang sinabi niya iyon? Mukha bang bumabayad si Quin ng bayaran at dinadala nito sa palasyo nito? Just how ugly this man's perception is?

"I beg your pardon, I have no schedule nor a client. I don't care who you are but watch your fucking mouth. Clear?" I said with annoyance and with a smile. The man just dared to nod and shrugged after. Quin however did not let that slide. He raise his hands as men walked that man direction and dragged the man to stand up. Watching the whole scene I glanced at Quin and saw him dark and mad. He was angry for me, I just caress his arm to soathe him a little.

"To the basement, I'll see you there. Insulting my zhena is not something I tolerate. Drag him." Quin coldly said as man shouted for mercy and curses to me while men drags him away from us. Gusto kong ngumiwi dahil hindi parin ako sanay sa mga ginagawa ni Quin. Everything he does is something stranger to me. And he makes sure I saw it. Did I just like a man half evil?

"Pinalampas mo nalang sana 'yon. I'm sure he just misunderstood." Sabi ko pa dahilan maglanday ang makapal na kilay nito. Ang gwapo parin.

"I won't let anyone slide in terms of you. I'm sure my kissing vows are enough rationale." He whispered and kissed my cheeks again making me closed my mouth and say nothing. There's no point stopping this man.

"Pauwin mo 'ko." Sabi ko dahilan na mapatingin ito muli sa akin.

"No, you're not going home. Your home is here, with me." Sumimangot ako sa sinabi nito. He is really taking his chances and tying me up with him. Tsaka hindi ako papayag 'no akala ko ba ligawan stage palang kami eh bakit binabahay na ako nang lalaking 'to.

"This is not a best way to court someone Quin!" Reklamo ko dahilan mapangiti ito at tumango-tango pa. Napadpad ang tingin ko sa apat pang tao nakaupo parin doon habang nakatingin sa amin. I awkwardly smiled at them and nod a little. The woman just smile back while the others remained cold.

"Papunta naman tayo doon right? I'll get your hand of marriage anyway so why not live with me now." He suggested as if its the most rational thing he can ever say. My mouth hanged open as my brain cursing him and calling him crazy nonstop.

"Ayoko. I'm not living with you! I'll get pregnant if I dare. Knowing you, you'll seduce me nonstop. I better worry that sorry." I said and move away from him a little as he chuckled and held my hand before kissing it.

"Isn't that a good thing?" He innocently chuckled. He is insane! I am telling you. This is not normal anymore, his is moving in fast rate. Baka ay talaga ibahay ako nito. Mayare na ako kapag nagkataon.

"It's not! You're crazy. Uuwi na ako. Bahala ka sa buhay mo!" I said and dared to stormed out the room but some men blocked at door making me look back at him with a shooting warning on my eyes. He just laugh it off. For real, he is pissing me off. I badly wants to kick him in the balls, specifically.

"Spend the night here, promise I'll let go home after." He negotiated making me looked at him suspiciously. But I yield and sighed.

"Fine. Better keep your promise."

"Of course, Zhena. Your Quin loves promises. Hmm?"

Tell me, what would happen if I spend my night here?
