Dark Desires (Vicious Series 1)

Chapter Five

"How was your sleep?"

I am here at the dining table with Adrian. Lumabas ako kanina ng kwarto dahil nagugutom ako. Sakto rin na nagluluto na roon si Adrian at nasabing hinihintay niya ako.

"It was fine," mahina kong sinabi.

"I'll investigate what happened to you. I could not take this lightly because I know your life is at risk as well,"

Tumango na lang ako sa sinabi niya. This shouldn't be taken lightly as he said. I want Austin to get sued.  But I know that it wouldn't be easier. I know, because I've seen his wealth. He could get away easily and I fucking hate that. I hate him.

"Thank you, Adrian." that's what all I can say.

I can feel that Adrian genuinely wanted to help me. But I'm still traumatized about what happen kaya naiilang pa rin ako kapag nandiyan siya. I actually wanted to stay at my room for a while pero nahihiya ako kay Adrian.

He's just a stranger to me and yet he choose to help me, and I'm glad he did.

"Can you at least tell me his name so we could track him down?"

"Austin Gabriel Rossi. That's his name,"

Hindi ako nagdalawang isip na sabihin sa kaniya 'yon. I want him to get sued immediately. The damage he had caused was huge! From psychological to physical!

Tumango siya at saka nagpatuloy sa pagkain. I finished my food then volunteered to wash the dishes. Adrian had done many things already and I don't want to be a burden. But he insisted that he'll do it kaya't wala akong nagawa kundi hayaan siya.

I watched some news at the television. Hindi na ako nagtaka nang lumabas ang mukha ko roon pati na rin ang mukha ni Austin.

At first, I can't see any reasons why he had to rape me. Why? Is he a drug addict? He was an ex-military officer so he should know the law. And what bothers me the most was what his mom had said.

He was head over heels for me since then. So he knew me back then? How?

Akala ko ay ang problema ko lang ay ang mga taong nagtangka sa buhay ko bago ako mapunta sa puder ni Austin, pero siya rin pala ay dapat na problemahin ko. I don't know his motives. Wala naman siyang sinasabi sa akin. And if this a pure obsession only. Fuck him.

Pinatay ko ang tv. For sure, by now Adrian will know the real me. Siguro ay ittake over niya ako sa mga pulis at makakabalik na ako sa mansyon. But I know that sounded so unreal.

O baka ngayon pa lang ay kinokontak niya na ang mommy ko. Maybe he did. Contact numbers are flashed in the television so he will know.

I heard a knock. Nagmadali akong magtaklob ng kumot sa katawan ko bago ako nagsabing pumasok.

He looked at me like he was shocked. Maybe he thinks that I think that he'll gonna do something to me.

"It's alright, Samara. I'm harmless..." he said softly before walking towards me.

Hindi pa rin ako mapakali kahit dahan-dahan siyang lumalapit sa akin. Image of Austin's evil smile keep flashing through my mind. How he will devour me, tear me to pieces until I was nothing but a little dirty slut. A whore.

Hindi ko mapigilang mapaluha. Napansin 'yon ni Adrian at saka lang siya tumigil at umupo sa kama malayo sa akin.

"It's me, Samara. This is Adrian... I'm not your rapist." he said softly almost pleading.

"Fuck, I'll get you into therapy," he said then just stare at me.

Tahimik lang akong umiyak doon. I don't know what's happening to me. Pero mabuti na rin siguro na magpa-therapy ako.
