The Billionaire's Mistress (Completed)

Chapter Fifteen

Marley woken up by the loud banging on the door. Tiningnan niya ang orasan sa tabi nang kama at napakunot ang noo niya nang makitang alas onse na nang gabi. Wala siyang inaasahan bisita. She chose to stay in a small village for the last three week and it almost like a paradise. The people were friendly and kind to her. They respect her needs of privacy and only visit her when they bring food or some announcement like a storm or something. But they never payed her visit this late at night.

Kinuha niya ang roba na nakasampay at ang walis nang madaanan ito. Hindi niya alam kung kung sino ang nasa likod nang pinto. It's better to be safe than sorry. Hindi niya pinansin ang sunod sunod na pagkatok at imbes ay maliit na hakbang ang ginawa niya. Mahigpit na hinawakan ni Marley ang walis at hinawakan ang door knob. How she wish that the door has a peephole. Pinihit niya ang siradura at binuksan ang pinto. Nakataas ang kamay ni Marley at handang ipagtanggol ang sarili gamit hawak na walis nang makita ni Marley ang hindi inaasahang bisita.

For a moment she lost the ability to talk. Nakatayo lang siya at nakatitig kay Darrien. Darrien, on the other hand, was surprise by Marley's welcoming. Nakataas ang braso nito at nakahandang ipagtanggol ang sarili laban kay Marley.

'Just what the heck are doing, Marley?' galit na tanong nito.

Parang natauhan si Marley nang magsalita ito at ibinaba ang kamay. Mahigpit niyang hinwakan ang walis dahil natatakot siyang magkusa ang mga kamay na abutin si Darrien.

Napasinghap si Darrien nang umihip ang malakas na hangin at doon lang napansin ni Marley na yakap yakap na nito ang sarili. It was a cold night marahil ay dahil sa malakas na ulan kanina.

'Aren't you gonna invite me?' He asked in shivering voice.

Tiningnan ni Marley si Darrien. Hindi niya kailangang pag isipan pa ang isasagot dito. Ang imbitahan ito sa loob nang pamamahay niya ay isang malaking kamalian.Pero nakita na lang ni Marley ang sarili na niluwangan ang pagkakabukas ng pinto at tumabi upang makapasok ito.

His familiar scent wafted inside the room and invaded her nose and now wreaking havoc inside her system. Her body reacted to him like no other man succeeded. It was like her body was a tune to him, and only him.

Huminto si Darrien sa gitna nang sala at umikot upang harapin si Marley. The house was small and intended only for one person. Nakuha agad nito ang atensyon ni Marley hindi lang dahil sa ganda nito kundi dahil na rin sa malapit din ito dagat. Naalala niya ang bahay ni Darrien dito.

For the last few weeks she spend her mornings swimming on the beach. Sometimes she lay on hammock and listen to sound of the waves. It never failed to calm her specially after visiting her daughter's grave. Pinili niyang itabi ito sa ina ang tita niya para hindi ito nag iisa sa malawak na sementeryo. It give her a sense of peace knowing that her mother and aunt will take care of her daughter in heaven. But the calming sound of the wave this time had failed to soothe her nerves.

'You were hard to find, Marley.' Darrien's voice carried across the room.

He was standing immaculately on his black Henley and black jeans. Marley notice that he lost some weight and his hair grown longer than the last time she saw him. Even his stubble had now grown into beard. Pero ang kaibahang napansin ay hindi nakabawas sa kagwapohang taglay nito. Hindi alam ni Marley na bagay pala ang 'rugged looked' dito.

'Yet you still managed to find me. How?' tanong niya.

Lumapit si Darrien sa kanya at pinilit ni Marley manatiling nakatayo sa harap nito at huwag ipakita sa lalaki ang epekto nang pagkakalapit nang katawan nila. Nang magsimulang bumuo ang sari't saring imahe utak biya ay mabilis kaagad itong binura ni Marley. This is not the right time for her to conjure those erotic images. No matter how attractive and sexy the man in front of her.
