POSSESSION

CHAPTER 20

"H-Hmm..."

Napa-ingos ako at hinay-hinay na iminulat ang aking mga mata. Ramdam ko ang sakit ng katawan ko na nanunuot sa aking buto at medyo nanlalabo ang mga mata ko.

"D-Draco..." Walang sumagot.

"Kuya Adam..." Wala rin ito.

Bumangon ako at sumalubong sa paningin ko ang hindi pamilyar na kwarto. I looked around the room and saw no resemblance of my room.

Nasaan ako- napahilot ako sa aking ulo ng matandaan ang mga pangyayari. Bumukas ang pintuan at pumasok ang isang babae na nakauniform ng pangkasambahay.

"YA-ya prinesu tebe lekarstva i yedu, pozhaluysta, podozhdi nemnogo!" Natatarantang lumabas ito ulit.

She left the door opened and I can't seem to escape here. Alam kong wala kami sa Macau ngayon dahil iba ang klima sa labas ng bintana at ang lenggwaheng sinabi ng kasambahay.

Hindi ko magalaw masyado ang katawan ko at maybenda ang paa ko. Napatingin ako muli sa pintuan ng may pumasok at si Thaddeus 'yon kasama ang isang doctor.

"You're awake." Aniya at pinagkrus ang kanyang braso. He's wearing a blackshirt and black pants.

"Pozvol'te mne proverit' vas, madam." Sabi ng doctor at sinimulan na akong usisain.

"My body felt so heavy, how many days I was out?" Tinignan ko ang doctor.

"A week, Madame." Magalang na sabi nito.

I passed out for a week? Napabuntong hininga ako at inilagay ng katulong ang pagkain ko sa bed side table.

"Where am I, Thaddeus?" He glanced at me as he sat down and spread his legs wide open.

"Russia."

Napasinghap ako. So a week ago, I was in Macau and now, I'm in Russia. I didn't expect this. I glared at Thaddeus as I feel annoyed with his presence.

"What do you want from me, Thaddeus?" He clicked his tongue. Pinagsiklop nito ang kanyang kamay at malamig na nakatingin sa akin.

"Hm, you're a wild card for our grandfather." Kunot-noo ko itong tinignan.

"Wild card? What do you mean?"

"He'll be using you to gain power from a powerful organization here in Russia." Napanganga ako sakanyang sinabi.

"How could you?!" Napatingin ang doctor sa akin ng ibinato ko ang baso na may tubig at nabasag ito.

"You dare to sell me to a damn organization to gain power?! After what you've done to my family?!" I'm seething with anger as I remembered what happened to my mamá and papá.

Thaddeus stood up and walked towards me. He gripped my chin tightly, making me look at him as his veinny hand lifted my chin.

"I don't care about your opinion, Addison. In the first place, you are just a pawn for our plans. You maybe not treated as a Romanov but you still carried that blood for so many years. Always remember that."

Iwinaksi nito ang aking panga at nagngingit-ngit sa galit akong tumingin sakanya.

"I will make you pay for this, Thaddeus." I gritted my teeth.

"Sure, sure, when pigs can fly." He signed the maid to come to him. "Oden' yeye i ubedis', chto ona gotova k rabote pozzhe."

"Da, khozyain." The maid bowed.

He left my room and the maid pickup the broken pieces on the wet floor. The doctor was looking at me with scared face and I breathe in and out to calm my nerves.
