A Psychopath's Slave- COMPLETED

Chapter 26

Chapter 26

"Steven."

I immediately called Steven after Astrid and I talked. 

Something is wrong.

"Senyora." 

"What's the operation tonight?"

Halatang nagulat ito sa tanong ko. I never want to be involved with this. But I need to.

"Steven." Tawag ko ulit sa kanya nang hindi ito sumagot.

"Why do you wanna know, Aiya?"

"Because I need to."

"Astrid said to keep you o-"

"Can't you get it Steven?! I need the answers at kung hindi mo ako tutulungan, kay Cienyz ako pupunta!" 

Napasinghap ito sa sinabi ko. Nagmura pa ito bago sumagot ito.

"Just, damn it! I'll take you to the hideout. Maghintay ka diyan!"

"Very well, Steven."

"Paano kung malaman to ni Astrid?"

"He wouldn't." 

"Paano? Hahanapin ka niya Aiya. And when that happens, I'll probably be dead." 

I sighed before answering him. "Well, I put something on his milk to make him-"

"Are you crazy?!" Sumigaw ito sa kaya kailangan ko pang ilayo ang telepono sa tenga ko.

"I didn't kill him. Baka ikaw pa nga ang mapatay ko." 

He sighed after what I said.

"Bakit? You think I'll kill him? I'm not a murderer." Maarte kong sabi sa kanya.

"Just brace yourself, Aiya. Hindi nadadala ng pagkamaldita ang mundong ito." Iritadong niyang sabi sa akin bago pinatay ang tawag.

I eyed Astrid who was peacefully sleeping. 

'How about I rape him? I can do whatever I want since he's sleeping.'

Napangisi nalang ako sa sariling iniisip. Maybe I'll just do it the other time. May gagawin pa ako.

Bago ako umalis ay iniwan ko siya ng mga marka sa leeg. It's the other way around now, Astrid. Ako muna ang magmamarka sayo.

And when I'm satisfied, I stopped then wait for Steven outside.

Nakarating naman agad ito. Iritado nitong tiningnan ang suot ko.

"What do you think you're wearing?" Galit na sinabi niya.

I just raised my brow and lazily looked at him.

"Uh, a red strap top, a black pants, and ugg boots?"

Ngumisi ako nang makitang mas nagalit pa ito.

"I know it looks badass." I whispered.

"Wear my damn coat, Senyora. We're not here to play around." 

Agad akong tumuwid ng upo nang naging seryoso na siya.

"What is our transaction today?" I asked him when he started driving.

"Smuggled firearms. But we will leave that."

Napatingin ako sa kanya. "What do you mean?"

"We will go on a bidding event, Aiya."

He saw my confused eyes, so he explained further.

"Women, gems, paintings and other items. We can participate if you want, Senyora."

"Illegal?"

Tumango ito.

I raised my brow.

"Why do we need to attend that? Waste time?"

Ngumisi ito sa sinabi ko. 

"Before we proceed on getting the answers Senyora, you should first know how this world works."

"Spoken like a true criminal." I calmly said. Umiling lang naman ito sa sinabi ko.

The venue was on a hotel. We are about to enter, when two men block our way. Steven immediately raised his hands. Kakapkapan pa pala.

Hahawakan na sana ako ng isa, pero pinigilan agad ito ni Steven.

"Don't touch her. Wala siyang dala." 

"No one can enter without inspection." The bulky guy seriously said. Itinaas ko na lang din ang kamay ko. 

"Astrid would kill me for this." Bulong niya.

The inspection was just quickly done.

Inirapan ko nalang si Steven. He is damn OA.

"Let's go."

Steven was holding my hand until we reach the exact place. This time,dalawang babae ang nakabantay sa pintuan.

"Name?" One of the girls asked.

"Steven Hielberg." He answered. 

One of the girls push a button then the double doors open. Tumabi na agad silang dalawa at pinadaan kami.

At noon nasa loob na kami, I feel like just walking out and go home.

With their suits and dresses they all looked elegant and dashing! I immediately looked at Steven. He was wearing a leather jacket and rugged pants. Since he's a guy, he can blend in. But me? I looked like a wasted party girl lost on a damn royalty party!

"I know you envy the dresses too much. But we are not here for a fashion show." Bulong ni Steven sa akin nang mapansin niya ang titig ko sa mga bisita.

Agad ko siyang inirapan.

"Why would I envy those filthy dresses? It's from their illegal doings."
Bulong ko pabalik.

"Senyora, I have forgotten to tell you. Not all of this people are unto 'illegal business' some just fancies a lot on the'gamble' part. Say 65% here are the criminals."

Tumitingin lang din ako sa paligid. All the people look normal. Not like those typical criminals seen on tv. Even Steven and Astrid doesn't look like one.

Steven and I were seated on the left part of the large sofa. Sa kanan namin ay may mga nakaupong babae. They always threw glances at us, especially to Steven. Siniko ko agad ito. 

"Ano?" Napataas agad ang kilay nito.

"The girls wants you." Bulong ko sa kanya.

"I don't care." Bulong nito pabalik. Ngumuso nalang ako.

"Focus, Senyorita. You are here to learn." Iritadong bulong nito sa akin.

"Learn how to be a great criminal? That's great. I'll have a lot of fun learning." I said sarcastically.

Sasagot na sana ito nang biglang namatay ang mga ilaw. Ang tanging natira nalang ay ang mga ilaw sa entablado. 

Most of the guests clapped their hands after that. Pumalakpak din si Steven.

Nakangisi itong bumaling sa akin.

"Set aside all your thoughts, Senyora. My class is about to start."
