Chapter 2

Third Person's POV

DUMIRETSO si Vaughn sa beach front ng El Cielo Resort na pag-aari ng kanyang pinsan na si Jai pagkarating nila. Ilang taon na siyang hindi nakauwi dito sa isla at ilang taon na rin ang nakalipas mula nung huling apak niya dito sa resort. Stephen and Jai owned and run the resort. He could see a lot of changes and improvements. 

Small native cottages were built a few meters away from the shore and each one was equipped with a center table. He decided to take a stroll to savor the salty sea breeze. He missed the smell of the sea. Sa halos limang taon na inilagi niya sa lupang sinilangan ng kanilang ama ay bihira lamang siyang nakapunta sa tabing-dagat. The city of Leiria was quite far from the coast. Abala rin siya sa kanyang negosyo doon kaya halos wala na siyang oras para mamasyal at libangin ang sarili sa ganitong tanawin.

While walking aimlessly along the shoreline, something caught his attention. It was a woman lying alone on the beach lounge wearing a red two-piece a few yards away. He should continue walking but there was something about her that made him stop and stare. Sa halip na magpatuloy sa paglalakad sa dalampasigan gaya ng udyok ng isipan ay mas sinunod niya ang kanyang kyuryusidad. Natagpuan na lamang niya ang sarili na kinakain ang distansiya papunta sa kinaroroonan ng babae. Hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit napukaw ng ganito ang kyuryusidad niya.

Nang makalapit ay di niya sinasadyang humanga sa katangiang taglay nito. He wasn't fond of fair-skinned women but when he got closer, he found her skin one of the fairest he'd ever seen. He instantly wanted to touch it. He wanted to feel the softness of her skin and prove to himself how smooth it was. He wanted to run his hands all over her curves. Those beautiful curves made him swallowed twice, no thrice. Gods! He suddenly felt parched gayong di naman ganon kainit ang panahon!

Nagpatuloy siya sa pagmamasid dito. Her neckline was the most beautiful neckline he'd ever set eyes on. His gaze traveled and lingered on her two lovely twins straining under her sexy bikini top. He wanted to tear the skimpy cloth away and hide it somewhere. Shit! When have I ever thought like a pervert? Tanong niya sa sarili. He balled his hands into tight fists to keep it from doing what he had in mind.

He should stop but he couldn't seem to tear his eyes away from the beautiful piece in front of him. He watched as her twins rise and fall as she breathe in slowly and steadily.

He let his gaze thread lower and lower until he reached her flat belly. Too flat and too small to even carry a baby. Could it even stretch enough to carry a baby? Ipinilig niya ang kanyang ulo. What the hell was he thinking?

He managed to take shallow breaths and urged himself to breathe more air to fill his lungs or else he would collapse. He broke into sweat when his eyes stopped dead and leisurely stared at the skimpy red bikini bottom covering the junction between her thighs. His manhood reacted instantly at the sight. What the hell was the matter with him? Why was he powerless to prevent it from getting harder and harder? He hastily shoved his balled hands into his pockets to make his erection less obvious.

Dali-dali niyang inalis ang paningin mula doon. Pinasadahan niya ng tingin ang mukha ng babae and did a double take. Ilang beses siyang kumurap just to make sure his eyes weren't playing tricks on him.

"She's dead." umalingawngaw sa kanyang isipan ang sinabi ng kanyang kapatid kanina.

Patay na nga ba talaga? Kung ganun ay sino itong babaeng nakahiga sa lounge chair at nasa harapan niya ngayon? Had she faked her death? But why would someone do such thing to fool everyone?

Unless she was up to something...His mind trailed of at the thought.

Bago pa niya napigilan ang sarili ay kinompronta na niya ito. The confrontation quickly escalated. Uminit agad ang ulo niya sa inasta nito. He was shocked and confused at the same time. He felt his rage boiling up as seconds passed. Nagulat pa siya nang pagtawan siya nito ng ilang beses. Lalong uminit ang ulo niya nang itanggi ng babae si Vince. Hindi raw nitp kilala ang kapatid niya na lalong nagpakulo ng dugo niya.
