The Fall of Holden Hidalgo [Completed]

Chapter 32 - Erotomania

Chapter 32 - Erotomania

(POV Holden)

EROTOMIA. This is a type of delusion wherein someone is convinced that another person with a higher status is in love with them. In this case, Helena thinks that Harland was in love with her. And now, she sees me as my brother.

Three days had passed ever since Helena abducted me and I remained here in this mansion as a prisoner of Helena. Ilang araw siyang wala at nagpaalam na may aasikasuhin. Ang tangi kong kasama ang kanyang mga muscle men na tila sinasamba siya at isang dyosa ang turing sa kanya.

I have the liberty to roam around the premise, pero palaging may nakasunod sa aking bantay. They allow me to watch television, but they never permit me to access my phone or my laptop.

Tuwing hapon, madalas akong naglalakad sa tabing dagat kasama si Alexey, ang Russian version ni Dave Batista na alagad ni Helena. Alexey is mostly quiet. Kapag may tanong ako, tango lang ang sagot niya sa akin palagi.

Wala naman siyang hawak na baril, pero magkakasakitan kami kung susubukan kong tumakas. Ako lang ang kawawa kapag nagkataon.

"Baby!" boses ni Helena ang nagpalingon sa akin habang nakatanaw ako sa dagat.

She is wearing a light pink Sunday dress and a white hat. She looks like an angel who just came down from heaven, but I should know better. This girl is a killer.

Tumakbo palapit sa akin si Helena at bigla akong niyakap. She immediately owned my lips kahit nandoon si Alexey malapit sa akin.

"Baby, I miss you so much," she murmured as she kissed me.

"Where have you been?" I asked as I wrapped my arms around her.

Hindi ko alam kung nagpapanggap pa ba ako kay Helena at sumasakay sa kabaliwan niya for my own safety or gusto ko na ang ginagawa ko. Ang sakit sa loob ko tanggapin na meron na akong nararamdaman para sa kanya.

It is so fucking hard to accept the fact that I also missed this crazy girl.

"Inasikaso ko ang wedding natin, baby," she said with her tender smile.

"Wedding? What are you talking about? We don't have any wedding plans."

"Yes, we do, baby. Hindi ba sabi mo sa akin, gusto mo ng isang beach wedding?"

A few weeks ago, Helena asked me about my dream wedding. I casually answered her as I thought she was just curious or she is just trying to open a conversation. Hindi ko alam na kasama pala ito sa mga plano niya.

"Helena, I did tell you about my preferred wedding, but I have no plans right now or in the near future. I am not ready for a wedding---"

"I am just kidding, Holden. Are you disgusted with the idea that you will be married to me?"

Hindi iyon ang inaasahan ko kay Helena. She is evidently obsessed with me, obsessed with the idea that Holden Hidalgo and Harland Hidalgo is just one person. After the series of killings, hindi na ko dapat magtaka kung pwersahin niya ko na magpakasal sa kanya, but she openly admitted that she is just kidding.

Another cryptic move from her.

"Helena, hindi ganon ang ibig kong sabihin. I don't want an impulsive wedding as I am not equipped yet to that kind of responsibility."

Tumalikod si Helena sa akin at lumakad pabalik sa mansion. She is without doubt got offended with my rejection. Kahit si Alexey ay napatingin kay Helena. His cold blooded eyes are now showing tender concern. It seems like he cares for this girl and he may not be a psychopath afterall.
