Wrath

Chapter One

I opened my eyes and let it wander around my surroundings. There were white curtains surrounding me. The white curtains and the smell of disinfectant overwhelmed me. I tried to sit up but the sharp pain on my shoulder told me that it wasn't a good idea. I groaned in pain and I fell back to bed with a loud cuss. I looked down to see my shoulder in a cast and my arm in a sling.

"O, huwag ka munang gumalaw." I heard the sweetest voice say. My head turned to where the voice came from. Lux Castellano's head peaked through the white curtain. Doon lang bumalik sa isip ko ang nangyari bago ako nawalan ng malay. I saved her and her bastard of a father from men who tried to abduct them. I could've let them be taken away, I could've just stand there and watch but no. Gusto ko ako ang magpahirap kay Patricio, gusto kong ako ang magparanas sa kanya nun.

Pumasok siya sa loob at isinara ang kurtina. Tahimik na pinanood ko siya habang naglalakad

papunta sa akin.

I wasn't surprise that someone tried to kidnap Lux. She was the only daughter of one of the wealthiest man in the country, and the most cruel, cold-blooded, wicked person. I was sure I wasn't the only one who wanted to get their revenge on him.

"Kamusta ka na?" She asked. Lux had the face of a goddess. I wasn't going to lie, she was beautiful in every essence of the word.

If only you aren't the daughter of the man I want to kill...

But she was. She was the only daughter of Patricio, the flesh and blood of the person who killed my parents.

"I'm good." I said after swallowing.

"Mabuti naman." She smiled. "I was really worried about you. Salamat sa pagligtas mo sa amin ni daddy. If it weren't for you, hindi ko alam kung ano na ang nangyari sa amin ni dad."

"Where's your father?" Noticing that Patricio wasn't anywhere in sight, I just had to ask.

"Umalis muna siya. Gusto ka sana niyang kausapin at pasalamatan pero kailangan niyang umalis. He's filing a police report right at this moment." She answered and looked at my shoulder. "Masakit pa rin ba?"The concern on her lovely face revealed within myself that was vulnerable.

"Yes." I didn't lie but I tried to make it sound as casual as possible.

"Gusto mo bang tumawag ako ng doktor?" She asked.

"It's alright. Kaya ko naman."

"Pwede bang umupo ako?" She looked at the space on the edge of my bed.

I nodded my head. She smiled, that smile that gave me tingles. She went and sat on the edge of my bed and took one of my hand, holding it with two of hers. I felt my heart skip from the warmth her hand radiated.

"You've risked your life to save me and my father, even though you don't even know us at all. Thank you so much. Habang buhay kong tatanawin na utang na loob ito."

"I just did what anyone else would do." Bullshit.

"Hindi lahat ng tao kayang gawin ang ginawa mo." Sabi ng babae. She opened the purse that was hanging on her arm and took out a small, rectangular paper. She handed that paper to me. "Kung may kailangan ka financially or anything, huwag kang mahihiyang tumawag sa amin."

"You just had your shoulder operated. Kumusta ang pakiramdam mo?" A man in white coat with a stethoschope hanging from his neck slid through the curtain. I assumed it was the doctor.

"Okay naman, doc." I answered. He stopped next to my bed and checked my heartbeat through the stethoscope.

"Masakit pa rin ba ang balikat mo?"
