Held Captive

Chapter 71-What If

Chapter 71

"You're making me crazy, Eva." He murmured and kissed me again.

I was, indeed, enchanted by the spell of his kiss. I wished this moment would never end. I hope this was the happily ever after of our story.

But there is no such thing as fairytale.

I roamed my hands on his shoulders down to his hands. Nang maramdaman ko ang malamig na posas na hawak niya ay para bang bigla akong natauhan at naalala kung bakit ko ito ginawa. The cold feel of the handcuffs was contradicting the warm feel of his skin.

I pressed my body closer to him, deepening the kiss. I needed to distract him. Unti-unti kong hinanap ang kaniyang palapulsuhan. Hi didn't notice a single thing on what I was doing. He was too focused on my lips.

Nang makuha ko na ang kaniyang wrists ay nilagay ko ito sa kaniyang likuran. Pasimple kong pinosas ang mga kamay niya sa bintana. I chained him using the handcuffs he was supposed to use in me. With one final kiss, I broke away.

I was breathing hard as I stepped back away from him. I felt like my world was turning upside down. I felt dizzy. His kiss took away my clear mind. His lips took away my sanity.

He was also out of breath. He was just staring at me without saying a word. We stared at each other silently.

Halos mahilo ako kaya napasandal ako sa likod ng isang sofa. His kiss and his gaze made me weak.

Ilang minuto pa kaming nagtitigan nang ginalaw niya ang kaniyang braso at napagtanto niyang naposas ko na pala siya. I chained his wrists without him being aware.

"Wow. You do amaze me, woman." He said it with both amusement and anger in his voice. Pilit siyang kumakawala sa gapos niya. I knew the handcuffs were not to be destroyed easily. But this is Radimir Henderson we're talking about. May mga bagay siyang nagagawa na hindi ko akalaing magagawa niya.

For example, making me feel weird things in my heart that I didn't know I'm capable of.

"Let go of me, woman!"

Nagwawala na naman ang leon. Nakatingin pa rin ako sa kaniya habang humahakbang ako paatras. When my eyes were satisfied looking at him, I finally turned back. Tinalikuran ko na siya. Nasa tapat na ako ng pinto nang magsalita siya muli. Hindi ako lumingon ngunit huminto ako.

"Run as far as you want, Eve. But you can never ever escape me. I will be the one to dictate your life. I will be the one to take your breath away."

Unti-unti akong napalingon sa kaniya. Nakatingin lang siya sa akin nang seryoso. Hindi ko mabasa ang ekspresyon niya. Blanko.

"I said this before Eve, you are bound to me." He paused and inclined his head to the side. A mischievous smile appeared on his face. "Put this in your mind, you are bound to me."

Hindi ko na nakayanang tumitig sa mga mata niyang nakakatakot kaya nag-iwas agad ako ng tingin. Lumabas na ko ng bahay at pasakay na ng aking McLaren F1 nang huminto ako saglit. Binato ko ang susi ng kotse ni Arthur sa loob ng bahay. Alam kong nakita iyon ni Radimir at nakuha niya ang ibig kong sabihin.

Gusto kong iuwi niya na sa Tenebrous ang kotse na yan dahil ayokong maalala kung sino ang nagmamay-ari sa sasakyan na yun.

I drove my McLaren away from my home. Gabi na pero maingay pa rin ang daan dahil sa mga sasakyan. Flashing lights from the street and cars invaded my sight. I felt like I was dreaming.

I unconsciously caressed my lips using my fingers. Then suddenly waves of memories flashed. I remembered the press of his lips on mine. I could recall the way I pulled his nape closer. I remembered every single detail, crystal clear.
