Chapter 31

                                    

                                          
Tumabingi ang aking ulo bago marahas na pumikit. I want to curse Lady Elena real hard. 
Papaanong nakuha sya ni Drake? I mean, matalinong tao si Elena. She should have noticed Drake's real character, why didn't she escape?
"Don't you dare drag a kid in this madness of yours." I said with a threatening voice to him.
Tumayo sya at inayos ang nalukot na damit. He licked the bleeding side of his lips before staring.
"Give me a reason not to?" Naging mapaglaro ang kanyang boses, he's enjoying my troubled expression.
"Here." Itinapon nya malapit sa aking pwesto ang isang kahon na naglalaman ng mga litrato. 
I gasped at what I saw, It's Elena and her son. Nasa loob sila ng isang malaking kulungan, good thing that she didn't seem to be hurt.
"Don't worry about them, I feed them three times a day so they'll survive." He then looked at me crazily. "Ngunit hindi ko maipapangako ang kanilang kaligtasan kapag gumawa ka ng bagay na hindi ko gusto. You see, their lives are in your hands now." 
I looked at him in disbelief before throwing a deadly glare. "You know what Drake? Fuck you." I cussed. 
Marahan syang tumawa sa aking sinabi. "Sure thing kitten, my pleasure." He bit his lower lip playfully.
"You're sick!" 
"And it's because of you. So if you won't mind, come here." He sarcastically said before waving the handcuffs he's holding. 
"And you do know I don't obey any commands?" Sagot ko dito. 
Napabuntong hininga sya bago pagalit na ginulo ang buhok. "Ayaw kong umabot pa sa ganito but you leave me no choice, kitten." He said with a hint of disappoinment.
Bago ko pa man maproseso ang kanyang sinabi ay nakaramdam na ako ng pagkirot sa aking leeg.
Feels like a needle just prick me. I saw at my peripheral view a man running away. 
Nakagat ko ng malakas ang aking labi ng magsimulang manghina ang aking katawan dahilan upang ito'y dumugo. Sinubukan kong manatiling nakatayo ngunit hindi rin nagtagal ay padausdos akong napaupo sa malamig na sahig.
My whole body can't produce any movement, I feel very weak. Paulit-ulit akong nagmumura sa aking isip, I should have seen it coming!
Namalayan ko na lang na nakalapit na pala sa pwesto ko si Drake, lumuhod sya upang pantayan ako. He hold my jaw to make me look at him, marahas kong itinagilid ang aking mukha dahilan upang makakuha ng mahinang tawa mula sa kanya.
"Easy there kitten." I can't even do anything when he carry me in a bridal style. 
Narinig ko ang pagbukas ng kulungan, pumasok kami doon at marahan nya akong nilagay sa kama. 
He gently caress my hair before humming a very nice sound. I felt my eyes closing, shit.
"Look here Amara, I really like you- No, I mean I really love you. So it's only acceptable if I keep you lock with me forever, right?" Kung may lakas pa ako'y kanina ko pa sya nasampal o di kaya'y natadyakan.
"Right?" Tanong nya ulit. 
How I want to rip this man's skin alive.
He sighed before smiling. His hawk eyes stared at me. "Oh yeah, you're sleepy? Take a rest kitten."  He huskily said then I felt a soft thing touched my lips. My eyes started to feel heavy then darkness conquer me.
The feeling of being watched wakes me. Napaupo ako sa malaking kama ngunit napatigil rin kalaunan. There's a chain preventing me from moving, the shackles are cuffing my left hands to the bed's metal headboard.
"Hey, you awake kitten?" Tanong mula sa isang paos na boses. 
Nilibot ko ang aking buong paningin sa silid, nakita ko si Drake. Nakaupo sya sa isang upuan habang nakadekwatro. May hawak hawak syang kopita ng alak habang taimtim na nakatingin sa akin.
I felt creeped out just thingking that he's been watching me all throughout as I sleep. This psychotic man!
Marahas akong nagpumiglas mula sa pagkakadena dahilan upang manakit ang aking kaliwang kamay. My face creased as pain dominate my hands. 
Drake chuckled amusingly. "Don't try that, you'll end up hurting yourself." He said. 
Napasinghal ako sa sinabi nya. "Prince Drake, mind letting me go?" Nagngitngit ang aking ngipin. 
"Hmm let me think kitten." Bumiyahe ang kanyang tingin sa akin papunta sa nakagapos kong kamay. He looks worried but then his expression quickly change. "Sorry, but I won't let you." He gave me a sweet smile that irritates my whole being.
He's much more insane that the Emperor! 
Mabilis akong nag-isip ng plano, alam ko namang hindi madadala sa pakiusap si Drake kaya kailangan kong gumawa ng paraan upang makaalis.
I mean I don't want to be transmigrated here just to be locked up forever, right?
"Then let Elena and her son go." I seriously said.
"They're my brother's wife and son, give me an enough reason to free them." Drake answered with a wicked tone. 
Napabuntong hininga na lamang ako sa kanyang sinabi. "I... I'll agree to stay here." Labas sa ilong kong sabi, I don't meant what I just said though.
Marahang tumawa ang lalaki at sumimsim sa kanyang kopita habang nakatitig pa rin. "Even when you agree or not, I'm still keeping you here though, but sure. I'll free the two for you, kitten." I almost winced in cringe when he winks at me.
Muli na naman syang napatawa sa aking reaksyon. And he really looks handsome when laughing, the way his adams apple move and how his dimples shows.
I internally slap myself. Shit, me and my hormones.
"May ipagkakatiwala akong tao para samahan sina Elena pauwi sa kanyang pamilya. I'll take my leave, kitten." 
Akmang tatalikod at maglalakad na sya at mabilis akong nagsalita. "Can you ahm, unchain me please? Nangangawit na ang aking kamay." Pagrereklamo ko.
Naningkit ang kanyang mga mata bago  masugid akong tiningnan. "As I said, no." Drake said with a firm voice.
Pinaningkitan ko rin sya ng mata. "But this cuff thingy is making me uncomfortable. It's leaving a red mark on my wrist!" Naiinis kong sagot.
Pagalit nyang ginulo ang buhok at malalaki ang hakbang na lumapit sa akin. I tried moving away but I can only feel the cold bars.
He gently hold my jaw, making me face his burning eyes. "Look here kitty, I know it will take a long time but I promise, you'll get use to that thing." Tukoy nya sa kadena. 
I gritted my teeth, and I could feel my eyes starting to get wet. Marahas kong itinagilid ang ulo at lumayo sa kanya. Sumampa ako sa kama at tumalikod. 
I heard him heaving a deep sigh. "I'll take my leave now, kitten. I'll buy you books so you'll not get bored." Matapos iyon ay narinig ko ang pagbukas at pagsarado ng pinto ng kulungan.
I rolled my eyes before letting myself fall to the bed. Anong gagawin ko? Wala akong cellphone o kung ano mang mapaglilibangan.
Boredom will be the cause of my death.
And it's that psycho's fault!
