Damsel In Disguise (Milovan Series #1)

CAPITULUM VENTISEI

Chapter 26 – 'Executioner'

KWYNN'S  POV

The thought of Vin, writhing in pain because of the stab was a wakeup-call for me. It was like an alarm someone set up for me to wakeup from my prolonged beauty rest and from my cloudy dreams I wished to live upon.

Am I not worthy to be happy?

Mahigit dalawang oras bago ako nakarating sa Black Den, an underground illegal marketplace. I have no lead kung sinong sumaksak pero may idea ako kung sino sila. Fausto's Underlings.

And I smirk at that thought. Hindi sila mahirap hanapin, kapag nakakita ka ng taong maraming tattoo sa katawan, that's it. No reluctance, it's his underlings.

And I heard that this afternoon, Yenon (another illegal seller) will take turn of the Black Den. There will be imported and advance guns versus I. How ironic and fun!

I dialed my P.A.'s number while entering the entrance of the Black Den and exchanging nods to my acquaintance.

"Sup, Ms. Kwynn!"

I placed the duffel bag at the floor as I entered a empty room, one of the rooms in Black Den. It was intended for me or should I say, I bought it on my own.

"Ready the retinue, Kari. You've got a big mess to clean at Black Den. Send them at 4o'clock." I said, direct to the point while throwing myself at the couch. Hell! I felt hell, just by sitting at this inferno.

"Huh? Ano ba—" I cut her off.

"Do as I say. Don't leave stains and stinky smells."

Pinatay ko agad ang tawag at hindi pa man nakakapikit ang aking mga mata, bumukas ang pinto at walang ingat itong isinara.

"Gatas mo, Kwynn."

Tumaas ang kilay ko sa babaeng may mala-anghel na mukha at katawan. Carrying a mug of milk, she swayed her hips towards me and gentle placed the mug at the table, beside me.

Here she goes again...

"Aren't you tired of trying, Olly?" I smugly asked.

Inosente naman itong napatingin sa akin at kumurap, "Huh? Hindi ko alam ang sinasabi mo, Kwynn." Sabi niya pagkakuwan.

Kung tutuusin ay parang tuta ang kanyang mga galaw. Parang mabait na tupa na kailanma'y hindi nabangasan ng realidad. Too good to be true and too cliché to be fool. I know better than that.

I snorted, "Umalis ka na. Wala ako sa mood makipaglaro sa iyo."

"Inumin mo ang gatas. Babalik ang mood mo."

"Umalis ka na."

"Oh... okay."

Pagkaalis niya sa silid ay agad kong ibinuhos ang gatas sa tanim, na nasa gilid ng couch. Pinagmasdan ko itong unti-unting nalalanta at namamatay dahil sa inuming may lason. Napabuntong-hininga ako.

She's a true definition of looks can be deceiving.

She should have tried harder. Olly treats me as a threat, may insecurities siya sa akin. Sabi pa niya ina-agaw ko daw ang spotlight niya dito sa Black Den being a slut and a whore that everyone would want bed and fuck senselessly. I wouldn't stoop that low!

She wants all the guy in here, gawking at her like a wanton slut whom any man could drag with just a snap of the fingers or a simple seductive lick of the lips. Ganu'n siya ka-tigang at ka-hayok sa sex, parang hindi siya magsasawa sa ganu'n. And I am still surprise na hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa siya nagkaka-AIDS.
