AIAH POV
I'm such a stupid, dirty woman. I gave in to my passion, I didn't think about the consequences of my betrayal of mike. Mike forgive me, I said to myself. What made me pregnant with Cole?. I was restless during those times, all I could do was cry and drink alcohol. You are stupid Aiah!
"Mike! Ano ngyari sayo ? Gulat kong pumasok si mike na may pasa ang mukha.
"It's non of your business Aiah! Drunk tone.
I immediately took gauze to treat his wound. While I was treating him, I noticed the swelling in his eye and I was surprised that he had cried and smelled of alcohol.
"Love? what happened? please don't worry about me. Tell me, what happened? He can't look straight into my eyes.
"Love, I'm sorry I can't give you a child. I'm barren Love, I'm barren! She shouted while crying.
Para akong nabuhusan ng malamig na tubig sa mga narinig ko kay Mike. Pinasawalang bahala ko muna ang lahat ng problema ko, kailangan ako ni mike.
"Tahan na, wag mo na isipin yan mike iloveyou kahit ano pang manyari, i said. I was so guilty habang kausap ko ito, hindi ko mapigilan ang pag tulo ng mga luha ko.
"Aiah love? Im sorry. I can't give you a child as what you want. Im sorry Aiah, Mike said.
"Pleasee.. hindi kawalan sakin ang hindi mo ko mabigyan ng anak mike, mahal kita at hindi yun mababawasan.
Ff.
Nakagising nalang ako ng wala c mike sa tabi ko. I was worried about him, dahil sa iniisip nito ang hindi ako niya ako kayang bigyan ng anak.
I immediately left the room when Cole and I met each other." Cole?! why are you awake?! I asked here.
Suddenly, he pulled me to his room, pero nagpumiglas ako," Cole! What the hell! You're crazy! This is wrong, Cole, we're both married.
I couldn't get out of his grip on my arm, until he dragged me to his room.
"Cole, please don't! It dragged me to a room with a very dark passage. Until we get to the room with lots of hanging toys or penises, it's a red room.
"DIYAN KA ! sigaw nito at umalis agad.
The voice startled me. A woman’s frantic plea echoed from the shadows, “Aiah! Why are you here? Why did you agree? Aiah, run away! They will do the same thing they did to me!” Her words pierced the stillness, but it was the sight that followed that shook me to my core.
I spun around, my heart pounding, and there she was—a woman bound in heavy chains, her wrists and ankles raw from the restraints. Her eyes were wide with fear, pleading, as if she were speaking from a place of deep, lived horror. The dim light barely touched her, casting eerie shadows on her face, making her look almost ghostly. I froze.
What did they do to her? And who were "they"? My mind raced with questions, but my body refused to move. The room around me seemed to tighten, the air thick with dread.
“Aiah, please…,” she whispered, her voice breaking. The chains rattled as she shifted slightly, pulling against her bonds. “You don’t understand. They want something from you. They wanted the same from me, but it’s not what you think. It’s never what you think…”
I couldn’t think clearly. How had I ended up here? Just moments ago, I thought I was in control, that I had agreed to something—what was it? A job? A promise? I couldn’t remember anymore. All I knew was that her fear was infectious, and whatever had been done to her was coming for me too.
“Aiah, you have to leave… NOW,” she urged again, her voice stronger this time, but I stood rooted in place, the weight of her warning settling over me like a suffocating shroud.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps approached from behind.
Panic surged through me as I frantically searched for an escape, but there was none. Every door in the redroom was locked, trapping me inside. The walls seemed to close in, painted in that unnerving deep crimson, the color of fear and desperation. My breath quickened, and my throat tightened, but no amount of pulling or pushing on the doors would set me free.
Tears began to fall uncontrollably. My voice cracked as I screamed, "MIKE!! MIKE!! Help me, MIKE!!" I shouted his name again and again, even though deep down I knew there was no one to hear me. The silence that followed my cries felt suffocating, as if the room itself was swallowing my voice, leaving me isolated and helpless.
The red glow of the room seemed to flicker with each passing second, warping my sense of time and space. I banged on the walls, my hands trembling, but there was no answer, no movement. It was as though the room had come alive, trapping me in its endless cycle of fear.
"Please, someone..." I whispered hoarsely, my voice barely audible through the sobs. The hopelessness of it all gripped me. Where was Mike? What was this place? And why did it feel like something terrible was about to happen?
The overwhelming sense of dread only grew, and I knew—something or someone was watching me, waiting.
MIKE POV
I stepped outside my room, my heart pounding from the noise I heard downstairs. It was the middle of the night, and the fear that we might have been broken into sent chills down my spine. I crept down the stairs, gripping the banister tightly, ready to confront whatever danger might be lurking below.
But what I wasn’t expecting was to bump into Cole—wide awake, standing at the base of the stairs.
“Cole!” I whispered, startled. “What are you doing? What time is it? Why are you still awake?”
He looked at me, his face shadowed with something more than just exhaustion. His eyes, usually so full of life, were clouded with frustration. Then he dropped a bombshell.
“Mike! Hanggang kailan niyo kami lulukuhin ni Aiah?” Cole’s voice shook, but it wasn’t from fear—it was anger.
I froze, my mind racing. Lulukuhin? What was he talking about? I could see the hurt in his eyes, but I didn’t understand. What did he know? Or think he knew?
“Cole, what are you talking about? What do you mean?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.
He stepped closer, his fists clenched at his sides. “You think I don’t see it? The looks, the secret conversations? Something’s going on between you and Aiah, and you’re both pretending like we’re too young or too stupid to notice. But I know, Kuya! I’m not a kid anymore.”
My stomach dropped. How much did he know? How long had he been watching? This wasn’t just about a misunderstanding—it was deeper, more dangerous.
"Will mike! Patas na tayo, i fuck your fiance as what you did to my wife.
Gusto mo ba makita kung pano humalinghing ang asawa mo habang nakikipag sex sakin sa banyo.
"HAYP KA!! I roared, my voice shaking with a mix betrayal and anger. Nagpalitan kami ng suntok at hinampas naman ako nito ng hawak niyang dos por dos sanhi ng pagkawala ko ng malay.
