The Heartless Eros

Chapter 6

Promise

Halos gulat ang mukhang sumalubong kay Pysche ng muli siyang tumapak sa gusali kung saang huling nakita niya ang uncle Fred niya.

Parang kakapusin siya ng hininga at hindi na maigalaw pahakbang ang mga paa.

"I got you."he said softly to her. Nabibiglang lumingon siya sa binata. Nagaalangan siyang ngumiti dito. Then he encircled his arms in her waist pulling her closer to him."I got you, love."

Napatango na lang siya sa binata at nagpatianod dito ng tangayin siya papasok.

Kung gulat ang mga mukha ng mga taong nakakasalubong niya mas lalo na ang uncle Fred niya.

The old man wanted to protest and go near him. Pero agad na humarang ang mga tauhan ni Eros sa uncle Fred niya stopping him from reaching her. Nagngitngit ang ngipin ng uncle Fred niya bago muli itong bumalik sa pagkakaupo. Beside her uncle Fred is the CEO of the Legaspi Entertainment kasama ang anak nito na si Geron. Bawat galaw niya ay pinagmamasdan ng lalaki. Nakakunot ang noo nito nanh balingan si Eros.

Ipinaghila siya ng upuan ni Eros kaharap ang tatlo."Thank you."she smiled to Eros. Eros returned her smile. Pagkatapos ay naupo na ito sa tabi niya.

"This is a misunderstanding, Mr. Winston. I'm sure my kung ano-anong hibang na kasinungalingan ang sinabi sayo ng pamangkin ko para mapaniwala ka niya. But I promise you I'm giving her everything. Lahat ng gusto niya nakukuha niya. Huwag mo sanang hayaang linlangin ka ni Pysche. After all that's where she's good at."her uncle Fred smirked at her.

"And we didn't force her, Mr. Winston."naiiling na sabi ni Mr. Legaspi. Nagkatinginan ang dalawang lalaki bago muling ibinalik ang atensyon sakanila ni Eros.

Itinaas ni Eros ang kamay niya at may kung sinong sinenyasan maya-maya pa ay lumapit dito si Archibald. Grinning at them coolly.

Inilapag nito sa lamesa ang isang folder at ng buklatin nito ang laman tumambad doon ang kontratang pinirmahan niya sa Legaspi Entertainment.

"Y-You! H-How!"bulalas ni Mr. Legaspi na hindi makapaniwalang may kopya si Eros ng kontrata niya.

Even her uncle Fred can't utter any words at the moment, napapalunok na lang ito.

"This is will be the last time that Pysche will step into this place. If any of you cause her harm, threat I wouldn't think twice to put this building down after all this place of yours it can be easily destroy in just a snap."Eros handed her a ballpen, mamahaling klase dahil kumikinang pa sa ginto ang ballpen na ibinigay nito sakanya.

"Sign it, love."

She lick her lower lips before nodding at him. Mabilis niyang pinirmahan ang papel.

"This is fake, mr. Winston. It's impossible for you to have the original copy. I will sue yo--"

"Go ahead and sue me Mr. Pedleton I wouldn't mind it at all. But then let's see who'll be put at jail is it gonna be me...or you?"Eros grinned mischievously. Inalalayan siyang tumayo ni Eros pagkatapos hinarap ang uncle Fred niya."Our business here is done. And that is the original copy of her contract. You can't sue me if what happened today is legal."

Nang makalabas sila ng gusali doon lamang siya nakahinga ng maluwag. Mahigpit pa din ang hawak niya sa binata hanggang tuluyan na silang makasakay ng sasakyan.

All her life no one has ever set her free from her uncle's chain. Everyone feared her uncle dahil hindi lang ito isang talent manager kundi may ilegal na negosyo din ito at protektado ng iilang mafia sa bansa. Noon ang tingin niya sa uncle niya ay pader na matayog na walang sino 'man ang makakatibag para iligtas at palayain siya. No one would dare to help her. No one until Eros came. Is he more powerful than her uncle Fred that he manage to set her free? Sa loob ng ilang taong pagdurusa sa kamay ng uncle Fred niya. She's finally free. But is she really free kung ang lahat ng iyon ay may kapalit? Nagawa niyang makalaya sa uncle Fred niya pero ikakasal naman siya sa lalaking 'ni hindi niya kilala she barely know his name Eros Winston iyon lang ang alam niya.

"I already fulfill one of the three promises I'd made years ago with you."

"W-What do you mean?"naguguluhang tanong niya.

"Do you remember the first time you escaped from your uncle Fred? That boy you asked for help?"

She spaced out for a while trying to remember what he's talking about. Then she gasped when she remembered.

It was raining that night. She managed to escaped from her uncle Fred through the help of her nanny but eventually she was caught off and brought back to the mansion. And as a punishment her uncle Fred killed her nanny in front of her.

"I-Ikaw ang lalaking iyon? Y-You r-really come back for me."she sobbed. Hindi niya namalayang tumulo na pala ang luha sa mga mata niya.

"I live for that promises. I live to fulfill that promises, Pysche. I'd never forget any. I promise you one day I'll set you free from your uncle Fred. I'll marry you and I'll give you your own family like what you told me."pinunasan nito ang pisngi niya."Two more to go."he chuckled.

"Hindi ko...akalain na tutuparin mo. I thought it was just silly hopeful promises."

"It wasn't. And I'd made sure I'll come back to help you and save you."

"Bakit hindi mo sinabi agad?"

"Because I...I want you to remember anything. I'm sorry that it took me years to get you. I just have to make sure I'll get you unharmed."he pouted."And I did some things so I can make sure I will get you."

"Things?"

"Yeah. But it's not that something big. What matter the most is you're here with me safe and sound."

"T-Thank you."

"Marry me, Pysche. I don't need your 'thank you's I want your 'I do' in church."
