The Possessive CEO

CHAPTER XXXVI

Chapter 36: Rome, Italy

Marsh Lahm's Point of View
      
        "Drink this, baby." Kalev give me a glass of water. Kinuha ko ito at agad ininom to calm myself. I almost got bit by a snake. Mabuti na lang nakatakbo ako agad and asked for help. I was glued in my place pero natuhan ako ahad when I heard it hissed. Pumasok naman agad ang personal driver ni Kalev at inalalayan ako hanggang sa hindi ko na makita ang ahas na 'yun. And then I bet Gerald called Kalev and he hurriedly went here. What a loyal man, he got. I'm in his room at nakaupo ako sa kama niya. And about the snake? Hindi ko na alam kung nasaan ito. Maybe they already killed it or put it in a cage.

Hawak hawak niya ang card na kasama sa kahon. Reading it.

"The snake is venomous. Your life could be taken away for just one bite. Good thing naka takbo ka kaagad." Halata ang pagalala sa boses ni Kalev. I nodded my head to agree.

"Mabuti na lang talaga." Mahinang sabi ko. "That moment, I was out of breath, couldn't move a muscle." Malamlam kong sabi. Bigla akong nawalan ng energy. I was drained. Siguro ganoon talaga kapag nasa harapan mo ang ikakapahamak mo or worse meeting your death. Hindi ka makakapagisip ng puwede agad gawin o actions in order to get out from the horrible situation. My mind really went blank.

"Tell me what you're thinking right now." Hindi ko pala napansin na nakatulala lang ako at nakatitig sa kawalan. I just couldn't think straight.

"Honey, please look at me." He cupped my cheeks at pinaharap ang mukha ko sa kanya. He leveled his head to mine and touched my hand na nakalagay sa binti ko. I'm shaking!

"I'm still nervous, love. I mean sino naman ang magpapadala sa akin ng isang ahas. Is there someone trying to kill me? But why? As far as I know wala naman akong kaaway at ito ang unang beses na nakaencounter ng ganito—."

"Darling, don't think too much. Ako na ang bahala dito, alright? I'm going to tracked whoever delivered that thing. Trust me." Umiling ako at ibinaba sa nightstand ang basong hawak ko.

"Paano kung hindi lang ito ang mangyari? Goodness! I almost got a heart attacked. Paano kung—." He shut me off by putting his lips to mine. Kissing me and maybe knocking some senses. He made me open my mouth for him. Having a better access. Our tongue tangled as the kiss deepens.

Lahat ng inaalala ko bigla na lang nawala sa utak ko. He pushed me lightly in the bed still kisses me roughly. What happened earlier left my mind and the only thing I could think about now is the wet kisses that Kalev is giving me. Unbelievable!

He continued kissing me as his hands roamed to my upper body. "Better way in shutting me up, Mister Stanislaski." I whispered as I catch my breath. He let out a throaty laugh. "Stop overthinking, baby. I'll handle everything. No one can ever harm you, not in my watch." Sabi niya at hinalikan ng mariin ang nuo ko. Tumango na lang ako dahil halos hindi pa rin ako makapagsalita. I can still feel his lips to mine. Bumaba ang halik niya to my nose at hahalikan na sana ang labi ko ng tumunog ang mobile phone niya.

"Answer it. Baka importante." He groaned in frustration at umalis sa ibabaw ko. He fished his phone inside his pocket and answered the call at ako naman tumayo sa pagkahiga at inayos ang buhok ko. Didn't think that his kisses can calm me.

"Nikos." Rinig kong sabi niya. 

"Yes. Do that. Call Vetellì too. He can help." Nakaharap siya sa akin at kitang kita ko ang facial expression niya pero agad siyang tumalikod. "That's bullshit Nikos! Don't add fuel to the fire. Hanapin niyo kung sino man ang nagpadala ng ahas kay Marsh. Do everything dahil kung ako na ang kumilos, you know what will happen." Napataas ang kilay ko. Ano kaya ang pinaguusapan nila ni Nikos. His voice holds menace. "Ready my plane, aalis kami ng bansa." And he ended the call. Humarap siya at tumuon ang atensiyon niya sa akin.
