I FEEL NUMB. That was the first coherent thought that registered in my brain as soon as I woke up. There's a nagging pain at the side of my body, my legs felt like Jell-o and my head hurts like a bitch.

Dahan-dahan kong iminulat ang aking mga mata, my eyelids burned, na para bang sampung taon akong nakapikit. Blinking off the haziness, my eyes roamed around the room. A frown creased my forehead as I realized that I am in an unfamiliar place. Lying on an unfamiliar bed, and an unfamiliar face stared back at me at the corner of the room.

Nasan ako?

Pinilit kong bumangon, kahit na nagpoprotesta ang buo kong katawan pati na ang aking ulo. It's as if dinaganan ako ng sobrang bigat na bagay, I couldn't even speak. My mouth is dry and my throat burned...

"Miss, please lie down again. Master will be here..." Saad nung lalaki na ngayon ay lumapit sa kama upang pahigain ulit ako.

I looked at him quizzically, Master?
Inilibot ko ulit ang paningin sa kabuuan ng kwarto, I noticed the dominant colors that dominates the room. Black and white, and the smell of the pillows and covers I'm into smelled like a man's scent...

"I-I.." Anas ko habang pilit inaalala ang nangyari bago ako mapunta sa lugar na ito.

A memory flooded in my head, starting off leaving the penthouse and driving my Bentley. Then a call from someone... A truck... Keith... And a car speeding at my side...

Panic seized me all at once, I remembered the excruciating pain I felt when glasses exploded around me. Naaalala ko pa ang black na Van na bumangga sakin, and the fear I felt before I blacked out.

As I remembered it all, nagpumilit akong bumangon. The man insisted that I should rest, but resting is far from my befuddled mind. I clawed at him when he tried to touch me, kicking, flailing ad screaming...

Oh my God... What if I am on that hoodlums place? Anong kailangan nila sakin?!

"Miss, please calm down..." Usal nung lalaki sa mababang boses.

At this rate, I could hear my heart palpitating from fear. Di ko nga narinig ang pagbukas ng pintuan sa kwartong iyon. I didn't even see the man approaching me at the side of my bed. Not until warm hands held my face to face him...

"Wynter. Calm down, you're safe now..." He said, soothing all my fears and worries away.

Napatingin ako sa lalaking sapo ang aking mukha, that's when I saw him. Keith, leaning down on me with his usual façade. Cold and domineering, I feel safe as soon as I saw him then I gradually calmed down. Gripping his hands, I closed my eyes and released a relieve breath I've been holding up.

Much to my disappointment, he removed his hands after a while before nodding at the man.
"You can go now Dante. Tell the others to go home." He ordered the man named Dante who bowed down before he went off.

Wow. Is he some kind of royalty?

Keith pulled a chair from the corner of the room before dragging it beside the bed. Umupo siya ruon upang magkaharap kami, I just stared at him.

"Nasan ako?" Usal ko upang basagin ang katahimikan.

"You're in my place." He hissed. He was looking at me like he was mad, its as if it's my fault that I am sitting at his bed.
