Lux Castellano
I traced out her name that was printed on the magazine and smiled. I couldn't belive how fast I had her wrapped around my finger. She was a dumb sheep ready to be slitted. The poor girl would have to pay for what her bastard father did to us. It wasn't fair I know but who said life's fair? Because it sure as hell wasn't.
I was seventeen when I lost my parents, Riel was just ten then. We were left with nothing. Bata pa lang ako natuto na akong kumayod para sa amin ng kapatid ko. From having everything, our life had spiraled to nothing at a snap of a finger.
Tumunog ang phone ko. I picked it up to see Lux's number on the screen. She was making everything easy for me.
"Hello?" I heard her voice when I picked up the phone.
"Hi, Lux." Sagot ko.
"Um, Rigor, gusto ko lang itanong kung napag-isipan mo na ang offer ni Dad. Ilang araw ka na kasi hindi nagpaparamdam." Sabi niya sa kabilang linya.
"Sorry, I was busy..."
"Naistorbo ba kita?" I could hear the embarrassment in her voice.
"No, it's fine. Even if I were busy right now, I'd drop everything for you." I said. I knew what button to push for women like Lux.
"Rigor, gusto mo bang pumunta dito sa bahay? Let's have lunch." Even though I couldn't see it, I knew she was smiling.
"Lunch? Diyan sa inyo?" A smirk appeared on my lips.
"I would love to invite you out kaso hindi ako pwedeng lumabas. Inaayos pa ni Dad ang kaso sa mga nagtangkang kumidnap sa akin. They said it would be safer if I just stay home."
"I see."
"Pwede ka ba?" Tanong niya ulit.
"Of course, I can't say no to you."
"Talaga? Sige, I'll see you later?"
"See you later." I said.
Ibinaba niya ang telepono at napasandal ako sa kinauupuan ko. A wide smile spread across my lips. I wanted to have fun before I devour my preys. Even lions play with their food before they kill it.
Plotting my revenge for the Castellanos had been my obsession since my parents died. They deserve to suffer the worst pain there is. Worse than the pain my parents, my brother and I had to go through.
I got up and went out of my room to find Riel in his uniform. Graduating na ang kapatid ko. He was taking up criminology and was planning to be a cop once he graduates. Bata pa si Riel ng mamatay ang mga magulang namin but he was old enough to understand what had happened. Alam kong nakaapekto din sa kanya ang hindi makatarungang pagkamatay nila. But it had affected him in a different way. He wanted to fight injustice and protect those who could not protect themselves, I wanted revenge. I wanted to kill those who had wronged us, kill them bit by bit.
"Kuya, aalis ka?" Tanong niya habang nagsusuklay sa harap ng salamin.
"Bakit?" I asked.
"Penge naman baon." Sabi nito.
"Kabibigay ko lang sa'yo ng baon mo."
"May project pa kami eh." Sabi niya.
I sighed, reaching into my pocket to get some cash. I gave him a hundred peso bill.
"Yan na muna mabibigay ko sa'yo. Soon, we'll be rich again." I said.
"Bakit? Wag mong sabihin tumama ka sa lotto?" Riel's eyes widened.
