I Became The Villain's Wife

Chapter 6

Nakauwi ako sa mansyon ay ang laman lang ng isip ko ay ang mga sinasabi ni Sanny Bels.

Bumuga ako ng hangin as I look up at nakita ko si Zion na nakaupo sa mahabang sofa sa living room while looking at my direction.

Nakasuot lang ito ng pambahay na damit. He's sitting elegantly on the sofa na para ba'ng galing ito sa business meeting.

Kinakabahan tuloy ako. Naiilang ako sa titig niya . I feel like he saw me through my soul.

I saw how his mouth moved kaya umiwas ako ng tingin.

"How was your shopping?" biglang tanong niya kaya tumikhim ako at tumingin sa kaniya.

"Okay lang naman.."

"You spend too little," anito.

Napapikit tuloy ako.

Ano ba namang gagawin ko eh hindi nga ako sanay magwaldas ng pera! Lalo na at hindi ko pinaghirapan ang pera'ng gagastuhin ko.

"Doesn't Butler Enrod tell you that you can spend a lot of money?" parang may inis sa boses nito kaya I opened my eyes and stare at him.

Ngayon ko lang din namalayan na nandito rin pala si Butler Enrod sa living room nakayuko hindi kalayuan kay Zion.

"Don't you have anything to say to me, Butler Enrod?" malamig na sambit ni Zion na lalong nagpapatibok ng puso ko. "Didn't you tell her about it?"

"It's my fault, Sire i deeply apologize."

"Hoy! Walang kasalanan si Butler Enrod! Don't worry I will spend a lot of your money to buy some expensive things para naman hindi ka magalit, kamahalan!" naiinis kong sabi nito as I sneer.

"I heard someone came to you..," he spoke very coldly na lalong nagpapatibok ng malakas sa puso ko.

"Yeah, meron nga..," mahinang usal ko.

Hindi ito umimik but I can see how his eyes move at biglang tumayo.

"Don't get bullied by those people around you. That'll put shame on our family name," anito at tumalikod na sa akin saka naglakad paakyat sa hagdan.

Kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi ni Zion.

Hindi ko talaga maiintindihan itong villain na 'to. Ano kayang nagustuhan ni Sanny rito? He deserves to be the villain, psh!

Umiling nalang ako at sumagi na naman sa isip ko si Carlo Ville, the male lead sa story na 'My Lily' which is naging ex ko pala rito.

Ano ba naman kasing istorya ng buhay ng po pinasukan ko!? How I wish I can remember Ally Cole's memory before she became the wife of Zion Cartridge.

Walang gana akong umakyat sa hagdan at dumiretsong pumasok sa kwarto ko.

Sa dinami-dami naman kasing mga stories na nabasa ko bakit itong hindi pa completed na online novel ako napasok? And it's because I don't want Sanny to be worried about me going home alone.

I decided to soak in the bathtub. Gusto kong makapagrelax dahil sa mga nangyari sa akin. I need a break.

Hindi ko namalayang nakatulog pala ako.

When I opened my eyes, all I saw was darkness around me. I walked in the midst of darkness while trying to find a way. Hindi naman kasi ako takot sa dilim.

While walking, suddenly bits of dreams or more like memories floods in front of me.

I tried to grab it at bumungad sa akin ang isang babaeng walang malay sa kalsada. Walang mga sasakyan na dumadaan kaya mahina akong naglakad patungo sa babae.

She's laying sideways kasi beside the street and she had blood everywhere.

Nanginginig tuloy akong lumapit nito and when I saw her face, I was stunned.

"A-Anong--" Hindi makapaniwalang sambit ko. "A-Ako?"

Ako lang naman ang patagilid na nakahiga sa gilid ng kalsada. At duguan pa.

Kinakabahan kong hawakan ito pero lumagpas ang kamay ko sa katawan niya kaya nagtataka ako. Am I a ghost? Is this a dream?

Lumingon ako sa paligid at nakita ko ang tote bag at sirang cellphone ko hindi kalayuan ng katawan ko.

This is my outfit before I died! Anong ginagawa ko dito?

Ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko as I felt my knees weak and stare at my face and tried to touch the side of my stomach where the blood is still flowing out.

Is this really a dream? What is happening to me!?

Naramdaman kong may sasakyan na parating kaya lumingon ako at bigla itong huminto hindi kalayuan namin saka bumukas ang pintuan ng sasakyan at nagmamadaling tumakbo si..

"Butler Enrod?" Nanlaki ang mata ko as I got up.

"Sire! The woman is full of blood everywhere here!" sigaw ni Butler Enrod at sakto naman bumukas ang pintuan ng backseat sa sasakyan at bumungad sa harapan ko si Zion.

With his usual cold look while heading towards us he looked down on the woman which is ako nga.

"Is she breathing?" Iyan lang ang sinabi niya as Butler Enrod felt my pulse.

"She's breathing weakly, Sire. Here blood is still flowing out as we speak. I'm afraid if we don't help her go to the nearest hospital around here, she may die," seryosong sambit ni Butler Enrod.

"Leave her here then," ani Zion at tumalikod na ito pero huminto siya at tinignan si Butler Enrod.

Biglang uminit ang dugo ko dahil sa sinabi ni Zion.

I grit my teeth, "You deserve to be the heartless and ruthless villain na nabasa ko! Napaka walang hiya mo! You should've just help my body!"

"Sire!?" ani Butler Enrod.

Pero biglang lumingon sa amin si Zion at bumuka ang bibig nito.

"Go to the nearby hospital," aniya.

Butler Enrod carried my body at nagmamadaling pumasok sa sasakyan habang si Zion naman ay hindi pa pumasok instead he turned his head and stared at my tote bag and my broken phone.

Akala ko maglalakad na siya papasok sa sasakyan but he grabbed my tote bag and my broken phone as he turned his back at me and headed to his car.

Biglang naging malabo ang paningin as I heard the car starts to drive away.

I suddenly opened my eyes habang humihingal. I look around at namalayan kong nasa bathtub pa pala ako.

Nagmamadali akong umalis sa bathtub and dried my body saka sinuot ang pajamas ko as I tried to think about that dream.

"Or is it a nightmare?" mahinang usal ko.

I can feel my tears falling down on my cheeks as I remember my body. I guess patay na nga talaga ako.

Pero anong ginagawa ko dito sa mundo na 'to? That should've been the body I wore! Not my body! Nalilito na ako. I want some answers!
