P.B.S #3: Grudges and Vengeance

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Comparison

Tatlong araw nang nananatili si Beaux sa mansyon at ngayon ang ikatlong araw nito. Hindi alam ni Halejiah kung ilang araw mananatili ang binata sa mansyon. Parang wala yata itong kapaguran dahil sa tatlo o apat na beses yata siyang inaangkin kada araw. Ginagawa yata siyang gamot para sa init ng katawan nito. He didn't even bother to atleast take everything slow and be gentle. That fact hurts her more than his assaults. May mga pagkakataon sa pagtatalik nila na nagugustuhan naman niya dahil magaling naman talaga si Beaux sa kama. But then, he didn't care if she whines because she's sore. He's heartless because his heart has been devoured by the pain from the past.

"I don't care. I want you NOW!" That's how growls everytime she complains.

Everything is already considered as sexual harassment and abuse but what can she do about it? She have no voice against Beaux. He treats her like a damn sex slave. Halejiah had figured out that this might be one of the punishment he wants for her. Beaux must be so satisfied now, she assumes. Its obvious!

HIS P.OV

"HINDI ka ba naaawa sa kanya, bro?" Wika ni Khalid habang nagsasalin ng wine saka iniabot sa akin ang isang baso na may laman nito. Beaux just scoffs to his pal.

"Why would I? Naawa ba sila sa ginawa nila noon kay Laura?" Balik-tanong niya kay Khalid, ang matalik na kaibigan at pinsan niya rin sa ama. Khalid Storm Philips is their father's youngest brother's son. Ang Tito Dough niya.

"So gagaya ka nalang sa kanila? Magiging masama ka rin?" Itinaas ni Beaux ang kanyang hintuturo sa pinsan niya para sabihing tama na.

"Know what? Why don't we talk about some other stuff, Khal? I don't wanna hear a thing about that woman." He can't even afford to say her name due to his burning anger. Nilapag ni Khalid ang wineglass sa mesa niya at itinaas ang dalawang kamay bilang pagsuko.

"Alright. My bad. Siyanga pala, bibilhin ko ang share ni Mr. Sevilla. Nalulugi na lahat ng kompanyang hawak niya.. so yeah.." mula sa pagkakatingin sa wineglass na hawak, napaangat ang tingin ni Beaux kay Khalid. Khalid is a major stockholder of the Montebank Inc.

"Nag-usap na ba kayo ng masinsinan niyan?" Tanong niya.

"Yup." Tanging tugon ni Khalid. So that means, magiging 45 percent ang share ni Khalid sa kompanya niya. Khalid is an architect pero wala raw itong balak magtayo ng sariling kompanya o kahit maliit na architectural firm man lang. He just wants to invest and let the company make his money grow with a little effort from him.

Pagkaalis ni Khalid ay inikot niya ang swivel chair at pinagmasdan ang Caviar Hotel na katabi lang din ng building niya. His cousin's property and he invested on their chains of hotels too. Clint is happily married with his former Popstar wife. If only Laura was alive, they must be so happy together now. She's so sweet, smart and brave. He loves her so much and he couldn't forget her and he don't think he ever will.

Laura is his first and only girlfriend since college, his first love. Napapikit si Beaux habang binabalik-tanaw ang masasakit na alaala niya.

2 years ago.....

"Baby, why don't you just give that project up? It's very crucial. Let's get married, I'll give you everything." Pagsusumamo niya. Kinukumbinse si Laura na huwag nang ituloy ang pagsiwalat ng impormasyon tungkol sa pagpatay sa tiyuhin nito na nanalong vice governor ng Negros Occidental. Laura believes, the governor has something to do with it. Ipinalit ang kaalyado nitong pulitiko na nabigong masungkit ang nasabing puwesto.

Laura cup his face and kiss his lips. He close his eyes, feeling her warm kiss and touch. She then, rested her head into his chest and wrap her hands around him while they're both lounging in the hammock.
