Chapter 2

══ ◈ ══

“DO YOU like your new home, Kyro?” Kyro’s dad asked while patting his son’s back. Tumingin naman ito sa akin sabay ngumiti. “Puwede mo nang ma-solo si Faerie rito,” he added while winking at me.

Napalunok nalang ako ng sarili kong mga laway nang dahil sa kaniyang mga sinabi. No. He will freakin’ torture me for sure! Nakita ko ang ginawa niya kanina, and I am certain that it will be even worse if I will stay by his side!

“This house is so great, and big! We really love it, dad!” Kyro’s joyful words made his father smiled from ear to ear. “Hindi ba, wife?” Inakbayan naman ako ni Kyro habang nakangiti ring nakatingin kay Mr. Verde.

Wala akong planong sagutin ang mga sinabi niya, ngunit hinigpitan niya ang kapit sa aking mga braso kaya wala akong nagawa kung ‘di pilit na ngumiti, at tumango sa kaniya.

“We really love your wedding gift, Mr. Verde,” I answered while faking my smile. Wala na akong magagawa pa, ayaw kong maging bihag, ngunit alam ko kapag sinabi ko ito ngayon sa tatay niya, hindi ako paniniwalaan nito.

May kinuha naman si Mr. Verde sa kaniyang maliit na maleta. Nakarinig din ako ng mahinang kaluskos, saka paghuni ng isang hayop habang ibinibigay niya ang isang maliit na box sa akin.

“It is a cat, I know na hindi pa kayo ready gumawa ng apo ko, kaya’t naisipan ko munang bigyan kayo ng munting alaga,” aniya habang ngumi-ngiting hinawakan ang aking kamay, binuksan naman niya ang box kasabay no’n ang paglabas ng isang pusa, umiinat pa nga ito sabay nag-meow sa aming harapan.

“Thank you very much for this gift, Mr. Verde. I truly appreciate it,” I mumbled as I carried the cat in my arms. He looks so cute and docile. He didn’t even scratch me when I held him.

Ngumiti na naman si Mr. Verde sa akin, saka pi-nat ang aking balikat, pati na rin kay Kyro. “Mauna na ako ha? Enjoy niyo ang pagiging mag-asawa ninyo!” he uttered as he clicked his tongue playfully. He, and his butler started to walk away from us, I want them to stop. Gusto kong sumama sa kanila, however I felt a tight grip around my waist kaya napatingin ako kay Kyro.

“Let’s go,” usal pa nito at mala-demonyo akong ningitian. His eyes gleamed with mischief as he was about to grab the cat, but it suddenly went wild and hissed, so he angrily slapped it, which made me furious.

“What the heck are you doing?” I shouted angrily at him, my voice trembling with rage as I brushed my fingers through the cat’s fur to calm it down. “This is a freakin’ gift from your father, and if anything bad happens to this cat, you know what will happen next, don’t you?” I added, my brows knitting together in a fierce glare, my eyes burning with intensity.

I saw the way he glared at me, his eyes full of hatred. With a furrowed brow, he grabbed my hair and dragged me into the house his father had given us.

The pain was unbearable. The way he yanked my hair felt like it would all be torn out from the roots. I couldn’t do anything but cry and beg him to stop, but he wouldn’t listen.

As he dragged me through the mansion, I could see the maids looking horrified, their eyes wide with shock and pity. My scalp burned from the tight grip he had on my hair, and every step felt like an eternity of agony. My tears blurred my vision, but I could still see their horrified faces, making the whole scene feel even more nightmarish. The grand hallways, usually a symbol of wealth and power, now felt like a cruel prison as I was dragged further inside, each moment etching itself into my memory.
