Dark Desires (Vicious Series 1)

Chapter Seven

tw: suicide, rape, sexual assault

After that incident. Mas naging maalaga at protective si Adrian. The cctvs inside the penthouse are doubled. Naghire na rin siya ng bodyguards. Tuwing pumupunta kami sa office ni Mr. Zamora ay nariyan ang mga bodyguards na nagbabantay.

We also consult a psychologist to give us a proper treatment for my condition na kakilala rin ni Adrian. He's good at keeping me hidden dahil kahit na anong labas namin ay hindi ako nakikilala. Hindi ko alam kung dapat ko bang ikatuwa 'yon. Ayoko na rin naman kasing umasa sa kaniya dahil nakakahiya. But he also assure me that it's okay to lean on him pero nahihiya na talaga ako.

He could take me over to my family but he insisted na sa kaniya muna ako manirahan hanggang hindi pa naaayos ang kaso ko. I don't know his reasons, but I let him do what he wanted to do.

I'm still attending my sessions with my counselor and it helps me a lot. Together with the medicine and counseling, the traumas are gradually healing, baby steps and I'm trusting the process, for sure one day I'll get over this.

It's been five months since Adrian found me and kept me in his house. Hanggang ngayon wala pa ring usad ang kaso dahil wala kaming makitang lead. Austin's still out there lurking around dahil hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin siya nakikita.

The news of me missing eventually died down after a month. I wonder why? Pero hanggang ngayon, tuwing lumalabas kami ni Adrian ay naka disguise pa rin ako.

"Hey," he kissed me on my cheek.

Kagagaling lang ni Adrian sa trabaho. He's in his three piece black suit and his feet are covered with a brown leather shoes. Nginitian ko siya sandali at saka nagpatuloy sa pagnguya ng mangkok ng popcorn na nasa kandungan ko.

He installed a television on his sala for my entertainment daw since I can't use a phone anymore. Kaya ngayon ay nanonood ako ng Larva habang kumakain ng popcorn.

Napatingin siya sa pinapanood ko at saka ibinaba ang briefcase niya sa center table na nasa harap namin.

"Really? Larva?" he said chuckling.

"What? It helps me destress," I said then shove a popcorn to my mouth.

Lumapit siya sa akin. He pinched my cheek then moved it side to side.

"Ang cute mo talaga," nang gigigil niyang sabi saka nanggigil na piningot ang ilong ko.

"Ouch! You're mean!"

"I'm not,"

Babatuhin ko na siya sana ng tsinelas ko pero tumakbo na siya papasok ng kwarto niya habang natatawa kaya hindi ko na tinuloy. I clicked my tongue then massaged my cheeks. I can feel it swelling from his pinch. Sakit.

I found myself getting comfortable with his presence as the days goes by and it brought us to this situation. Halos araw-araw niya na akong kinukulit at inaasar simula noong maging komportable na ako sa kaniya. I didn't mind at all since I'm enjoying his company.

And after that incident, hindi na rin nagparamdam si Austin sa akin. Which made me more comfortable.

"Where do you want to go? I'm sure it's boring here," sabi niya habang nagpupunas ng buhok. He was out of the shower. I can smell his shaving cream mixing with his manly scent. Naka puting sando lang siya at blue na satin shorts.

"I don't know,"

He rolled his eyes. "Walang lugar na I don't know dito,"

"What? What I meant was I don't know where to go," binato ko siya ng throw pillow. Nasalo niya 'yon at saka tumawa. I clicked my tongue.
