Bought by a Decena

3 - VEE FOR VENDETTA

Four months later...

Tinamaan yata ng matinding malas ang buhay niya dahil sunud-sunod ang pagbagsak ng mabibigat na problema sa kanilang pamilya matapos ng hindi inaasahang pagkikita nila ng ex-fiancé niyang diablo.

From Russia, she immediately flew back to the Philippines to check on her family's status there. After returning, she discovered that it wasn't bad luck that was giving them hell but no other than her fiend the ex-fiancé himself!

Hindi niya alam kung anong masamang hangin ang pumasok sa kukote ng animal niyang ex para pagdiskitahan nito ang pamilya niya. Ang tanging nalalaman lang niya ay gusto raw siya nitong makita at ilang beses din itong nagdemand sa mga magulang niya na ilabas siya. Na syempre ay hindi pinagbigyan ng mga magulang niya dahil alam na alam ng mga ito kung gaano kalupit na panggagago ang ginawa nito sa kanya noon. 

He wasn't granted permission and like an infuriating son of a b-tch, he vented out all his frustrations and recoiled by crashing and burning the Ivanovs down. He became so worked up about it that he started to destroy her family and everything they have built in every possible way he could—which was a great f-cking pain in the ass for them as he, André Decena, heir of the multi-billionaire family that owned at least seventy percent of the biggest establishments in the entire Luzon region, could do anyf-ckingthing he wants to.

Was André Decena rich and powerful? Rich and powerful is an understatement to describe him as it takes more than rich and powerful to destroy the likes of her family.

The Ivanovs residing in the Philippines handles legitimate hotel and restaurant businesses. But more than that, the Ivanovs ran the fearsome Russian mafia syndicate that deals illegal firearms and smuggled cars to rogue policemen, filthy military personnel, corrupt politicians, high bounty criminals, including anyone else who are on the bad side of the Philippine society's moral standards.

According to her father, André had deflectors penetrated in their biggest commercial properties who effectively pulled their clean businesses down the gutter. With the loss of huge amount of money and the huge debt they had to pay, they had no choice but to sell some of their properties not knowing at first that it was André who was behind the reason of their bankruptcy. Her father sold their properties too, unknowingly, that behind those buyers he talked to, it was also André who was truly buying from them.

Patung-patong na kaso ang kinakaharap ngayon ng kanyang ama dahil sa mga ilegal na negosyong hawak nito. Maski ang kanyang ina ay idinadawit din ni André sa mga krimen ng ama niya dahil hindi umano ay accessory person ito sa lahat ng ilegal na gawain ng asawa nito. Before, they had no problems avoiding the law but now that a Decena is chasing on their heels it's a big f*****g mess for all of them to deal with.

Ilang properties din nila ang pinasok ng PDEA para alamin kung sangkot din ba ang pamilya niya sa pagbebenta ng mga ilegal na droga. Her family didn't do drug business and there were no justifiable grounds for the PDEA to conduct raids on their private properties, but with André’s social status, bribing government agencies to do him a favor would only be a piece of cake. She heard from a few sources that after they were raided, the PDEA received gifts from the Decenas. Tila patunay iyon na ito rin ang may pakana ng pang-re-raid sa kanila ng PDEA. Iritadong napasinghal siya sa bagay na iyon.

The PDEA didn't find drugs. They found some of the guns and the cars, however, and those were still strong pieces of evidence that the court can use against her father and their relatives who were also involved in his unlawful businesses. After the damn raid, the government authorities had even temporarily sequestered some of their properties to avoid destruction or concealment of shreds of evidence for investigation. May mga bali-balita pa siyang naririnig na kung mapapatunayan pang nakuha nila sa maling paraan ang mga ari-arian nilang iyon, posibleng permanente na iyong kamkamin ng gobyerno.

Just like the Decenas, they have connections too. Influential friends and big politicians supported his father's dishonorable actions. Unfortunately so, they all disappeared in the shadows now, turning cold shoulders to them and leaving all their cries for help unheeded as they were all too afraid to meddle with the mess her family was into. Ayaw ng mga ito makialam lalo na at mukhang personal na usapin sa pagitan niya at ng dati niyang nobyo ang pinaghuhugutan ng lahat ng gulong dinadanas nila.

She understood them, yet, also f*****g despised them. She knew they just didn't want anyone digging on their hidden stink too. 

Fucking p*****s! Stupid worthless mudaks na walang mga bayag! 

Malala na pala ang situwasyon nila at hindi pa niya malalaman iyon kung hindi pa siya tinawagan sa Russia ng ina niya para ipaalam na isinugod sa ospital ang kanyang ama dahil biglaan itong inatake sa puso nang matuklasan ang sunud-sunod na bulilyasong nangyayari sa mga negosyo nila.

To sum up all the s**t they were currently experiencing, both her parents are threatened to be thrown in jail, most of their properties are either sold to her ex or are taken by the government authorities, they are losing a lot of money, André almost killed her father, and no on dares to lend them a helping hand.

Ginagawa nila ang kahat ng makakaya nila upang kontrolin ang situwasyon nila ngayon pero lahat ng pagsisikap na ibinubuhos nila ay kulang para maibsan ang kasalukuyang katayuan nila. Sinisisi na rin ng iba nilang kamag-anak ang ama niya at lalong-lalo na siya dahil sila ang itinuturo ng mga ito na pinag-ugatan ng lahat ng problemang hinaharap nila ngayon. Wala siyang magawa kundi saluhin ang mga paninisi na iyon dahil may katotohanan naman. Kung bakit nila kailangang danasin iyon mula sa mga kamay ng dati niyang nobyo ay hindi niya alam.

Blyad. They were in a big f-cking trouble because of that mudak.

Angry would be an understatement to describe how infuriated she was with André after everything he did to her family. She was on f-cking fire that her blood boiled she seriously planned about ending his life using the slowest and most painful method possible!

Without their businesses operating, their source of money is severely handicapped. And without money, they're losing their power. Soon they would be crawling in the mud and it's all because of that motherf-cker! 

Within four f-cking months, he had successfully sprained the Ivanovs. That's how extreme he was. That's how ruthless he was.

The extremity of his anger shocked her, but not his ruthlessness. She didn't expect any less from a monster like him. Dahil wala naman talagang puso ang hayop na lalaking iyon!

Her family wants payback. They want blood.

She wanted his blood spilled by using her own hands. 

Kaya bago pa man makagawa ng kahit anong masamang aksyon ang pamilya niya laban sa lalaki ay uunahan na niya ang mga ito.

She still didn't have the slightest inkling as to why he wanted to see her so bad that he would harrass her family in the cruelest way he could. Aalamin niya kung bakit.

He demanded to see her. So see her, he will. And she will make sure he would regret ever wanting to see her again.

• • •

With an unwavering emotion of hatred for her ex, she strode to the main entrance of the Decena Tower. Her red heels clacking loudly against the pavement she walked on and the sharp sound stopping when the two security ay the entrance halted her for inspection.

First, they checked what's in her Marmont red velvet bag from Gucci. Then one of the guards hovered his hands on her back and stomach in search of weapons that could be hiding underneath her black dress.

“Did you bring any weapons with you, Madame?”

She cracked them one of her prettiest but vicious smiles. “Just my bomb pussy.”

That had the guard searching her body coughing and the other guard standing beside them chuckling. They let her pass and as soon as her red heels started clacking again on the polished tiles beneath her feet, her smile instantly dropped. She side glanced back to them to give them a mean piercing look that probably had them second-guessing by now if it was a right decision to let her inside the building as their expressions turned from laid-back to worried to serious.

Duraki. Mga tanga. Did they really think asking her would get them an honest answer about whether she had any weapons with her or not? Gluppy. Deystvitel'no, glupo. Stupid. Really stupid.

She doesn't need to bring any conspicuous guns or knives to end someone's life. To someone like her, killing is as easy as stabbing one's jugular vein with her long fingernail. She was the weapon herself. 

True enough, she saw one of the guards in her peripheral vision touch his earpiece as if to alert everyone on the area about a possible threat. Every security personnel on the ground floor has their heated gazes fixed on her. Hot. Due to both suspicion and lustful attraction. 

Unbothered, she continued strutting her way to the information desk.

Two women wearing a grey uniform in the information desk greeted her with a warm smile. 

One of the women spoke when she approached. “Good morning, Madame. How may I help you?”

“I am Kristina Ivanov,” she introduced herself in her spicy Russian accent. “I am here to see André Decena.”

“Do you have an appointment with Sir André, Madame?”

The question, though politely asked, made her lips twitch into a half-wincing, half-mocking smile. “In case you're not aware of the news, I'll gladly enlighten you that André Decena is f-cking up the Ivanovs for the sole reason that he wants to see me. Why in the f-cking world would I need to make an appointment to meet him if it's him who's raising hell in the city just because he's dying to see me again?” she spat the words like they were acid. “Call him and let him know that I'm here.”

The woman turned to her companion with a panicked look in her eyes like she didn't know what to do.

“Don't waste my f-cking time!” she hissed impatiently that caused the woman to jump in surprise.

“Y-Yes, Madame. J-Just a moment, p-please.”

 She didn't bother keeping herself from rolling her eyes as she did not care about pleasantries at all. She's mad and doesn't have free f-cks spared for anybody else's fragile feelings and she hates that the woman was making her wait while she was so damn eager to strangle the life out of that stupid f-ck André.

The woman made a call that based on what she could make of was directed to André's secretary. 

The call dropped after a minute then the woman immediately walked to her and beckoned her to follow. “This way, Madame.”

Dinala siya ng babae sa elevator na kinailangan nitong gamitan ng keycard para bumukas dahil para lamang sa mga VIP iyon na ayaw maabala sa mabilis na pagpunta sa paroroonang palapag. Ganoon kasi ang mangyayari kung sa common elevator sila sasakay. Sinamahan siya ng babae sa loob at bagaman alam niyang hindi ito komportable sa katahimikang namamagitan sa kanila dahil sa katarayang ipinakita niya rito kanina, wala na siyang pakialam dito.

The closed metal doors reflected her physical entirety. Light makeup was applied to her face except for the dark red lipstick that shaped her full lips. The little black dress she wore with a length stopping at her midthigh molded her sinful curves like a second skin. The valley of her ample breasts was slightly exposed with the plunging V-neckline of her dress and her ears and neck were adorned with simple Dior jewelries. Her black hair was pulled into a sleek ponytail. Her chin was consistently held up high and she was ready for war. Hindi na siya nakapaghintay na makita ulit ang ex niya para iparanas dito ang impyerno na dapat lang na maranasan nito dahil isa naman itong demonyo.

They quickly reached the top floor and she was led to another reception where the information desk woman passed her to one of André's secretaries.

“Good morning, Madame,” says the tall, blonde, doll-faced secretary. 

Walang maganda sa umaga niya kaya tinitigan lang niya ito.

“Please follow me.”

Sinundan niya ang babae papasok sa isang silid na sa tingin niya ay opisina na ng dati niyang nobyo.

Empty. The office was friggin' empty.

“Where is he?” she asked with restrained irritation.

“Sir André is still in a meeting—”

“Well then, please remind him that I'm a very impatient person and I won't hang around for long to wait for his goddamn ass,” she said calmly but with enough stress to send the secretary scurrying.

“O-Okay, Madame. Please take a seat. I'll make a quick call and let him know.” The woman hurriedly stepped out of the room.

She rolled her eyes again, and this time, with an irritated groan. Blyad. Ayaw nga niyang maghintay pero hayun at pinaghihintay na naman siya. Baka una pa niyang mapatay ang sekretarya ng lalaki bago ito.

Tinitigan niya nang masama ang black swivel chair na dapat ay uupuan niya. She doesn't want to sit there.

Bright daylight coming from the full glass wall on one side lit the entire office. The room was simple and neat, having black pieces of furniture and everything else in white. Minimalistic designs embellished the room, yet, it didn't hide the enormous power and wealth of the person who owned it.

She walked to the glass wall that completely spanned one side of the office. With boiling fury, she watched the entire view of the city beyond it. The cars and the people below appeared so puny from her very high position. She wondered if that is how he sees the world now. Kung lahat ba para rito ay maliit na lang at madaling sirain. She agitatedly sighed while continuously scoping the nice sight of tall buildings that were still short compared to the Decena Tower.

The door creaked open and her head quickly turned to the door to see André entering his office, all handsome in his white dress shirt and grey coat. She was expecting to find him in his office, but it was him who found her standing there. He smiled and it was damn breathtaking. Wait, why was she getting attracted to him and what the f**k was he smiling for?

The attraction and his rousing smile fueled her anger more. Inis na ihinagis niya ang purse bag niya rito saka ito gigil na sinugod para bigyan ng malakas na bira sa mukha.

“Ya chertovski ubiya tebya, mudak, blyad!” I will kill you, you asshole, fucker!

Sinalubong ni André ang pagsugod niya at hindi niya nagawa ang binabalak na pagsuntok sa gwapo nitong mukha dahil mabilis na pumulupot sa kanyang katawan ang mga malalaki nitong braso. 

She couldn't move. She was helplessly caged in his arms and was forced to receive his hungry kiss. Struggling to avoid his lips used a lot of her energy, and all her efforts were deemed futile as a man like him was too huge and too heavy like a giant stone statue for a woman like her to push off.

Naubos lang ang lakas niya sa pagpupumiglas. Hanggang sa unti-unti na lang siyang nanghina dahil sa kawalan ng hangin sa mga baga. He kissed her so hard, almost crushing her bones in the process, she thought she was going to suffocate and faint on his arms. His lips pulled away just in time before she was close to collapsing, thankfully. An audible gasp escaped her lip as her lungs begged for oxygen. Her knees were like jelly and she couldn't help herself from momentarily leaning on him for support.

“I missed you,” he said through labored breathing. “I f*****g missed you, Darling.”

“Ty che, suka o'khuel blya?!” Are you f*****g crazy, you asshole?!

“Darling, I don't understand a word you're saying and I don't really care.”

He tried to kiss her again and this time, she has successfully evaded it. “Stop! Stop, stop, stop!” she snapped with a raised hand.

André allowed her to have her space. With them apart, she can now completely see how much he has changed. He aged, which didn't lessen his handsomeness. In fact, he looks manlier now. More gorgeous and sexy-looking with the perfect five o' clock shadow running alongside his face. His long hair which she mistook for black in The Red was now clearly seen as dark brown under the natural sunlight. He doesn't seem unaffected too by the kiss. He was panting too. Like he ran a marathon. And his grey eyes with silver flecks intensely bore into her eyes like he was trying to get a read of something in her mind.

“I'm so happy you came to me,” he said.

Akmang lalapit na naman ito kaya mabilis niyang itinaas ang nga kamay para duruin at pigilin ito. “Don't come near me, assh-le! Stop right where you are!”

Huminto si André, pumameywang, yumuko, saka ngumisi na ayaw mang aminin ni Kristina sa sarili pero makalaglag panty at nakakapanglambot ng tuhod an ngiting iyon.

She swallowed the dry lump in her throat and tried to muster back all the hatred she had for him that seemed to have disappeared when he kissed her. “I want you to stop whatever you're doing to my family.”

“I want you to marry me.”

She winced disgustingly. “Why in the f-cking world would I want to marry a piece of sh-t like you?!”

He smiled and it was damn annoying. “Your accent is giving me a boner, Darling.”

“Tarantado ka, mukha ba akong nakikipaglokohan sa ’yo rito?!” Hayun. Napa-Tagalog siya dahil sa sobrang inis.

“Sino bang may sabing nakikipaglokohan ako sa ’yo?” sabi rin nito sa mga salitang Filipino. “I'm dead serious about this, Kristina. I want you to marry me.”

She straightened her back then smiled coolly. “You surprise me with all that bullshit that runs in your head.”

“You're the only bullshit, by your own words, that runs in my head.”

Inignora niya ang sinabi nito. “Tell me, why are you doing all of this?”

“Hmm?” He walked towards her with a serious look on his face. Something dark gleaming in his eyes made her step back until her back was pressed on the glass wall

She was once again caught between his arms that were placed beside her head. “You really wanna know?” he inquired.

Her hear beat drummed nervously at the André that stood an inch from her. Something has changed in him, she could tell. Seems like he was totally a different person from the André she knew before. Mukhang hindi na ito kasing bait gaya ng pagkakakilala niya rito noon. Oh, wait. He was never really nice, was he? Doon lang niya naalalang kahit pa man noon ay hindi niya talaga lubusang kilala ang lalaki. Kaya nga siya nito nabiktima noon dahil nagawa siya nitong utuin gamit ang pekeng kabaitan na ipinakita nito noon sa kanya.

Trying to maintain a calm exterior she laughed sweetly at him. “I wouldn't have come here otherwise if I didn't want to.”

“Ah,” he whispers. “Your parents wouldn't tell me where you are and all the personal investigators I hired couldn't find you either. I did all of this just to pitch you out from wherever you're hiding. All of this is because of my love for you.” He tilted his head and it was unreasonably sexy. “After all those years,  I think I am still smitten in love with you, Darling.”

Tama ba ang narinig niyang sinabi nito? Mahal pa rin daw siya nito? Capital L-M-A-O. “Not my f*****g problem.”

“Are you sure about that? Isn't it the reason why you're here?” he jeered. “You have big problems and the easy way out I can offer you is to be my wife.”

Nang akmang hahalikan ulit siya nito ay iniiwas niya ang mukha kaya tumama ang mga maiinit nitong labi sa kanyang panga. Bumaba ang mga labi nito sa kanyang leeg at tila naging sanhi iyon ng paggapang ng maalab na kuryente sa kanyang katawan lalo na sa pagitan ng kanyang mga hita. She didn't like the way her body was responding to him. She didn't like the s****l attraction. Pinipilit niyang huwag pansinin ang masarap na pakiramdam na dulot ng mga labi nito sa kanyang katawan pero mukhang mahina ang depensa niya pagdating sa aspetong iyon.

Her family. She needs to focus on her family for goddamn's sake!

Dapat ay nagmamakaawa siya sa lalaki para tigilan na nito ang panggugulo sa pamilya niya pero hindi siya ganoon. He will have to pay hell for every trouble that he had caused on her family.

“Don't touch me and stop calling me ‘Darling.’ Get off me, you f-cking pig!”

“Darling,” he hissed on her ear as he held her tightly in place. “I don't take orders from you, Darling.” He even drawled the last word to mock her.

About to hit his crotch with her knee, he quickly spun her around, pushing her front against the wall. She grunted and yelped after feeling a sharp pain on one of her ankles but André didn't seem perturbed by it.

“What were you doing in The Red, huh? Do you practice kinky s*x now, b***h?”

“That's none of your damn business! ’Wag mong ibahin ang usapan. Nandito ako para sa—”

“You're here for your family and I just told you that I won't stop destroying your family until I have you.”

“How would I know you'll stop when I marry you?”

“You'll just know, Darling.”

“And I'm just supposed to trust your word?” She scoffed. “Surely I have other options.”

“Of course you have. But nothing of sort that would leave you smiling. You see, I am very serious about this, Kristina. If you marry me, I'll stop. Madidismiss lahat ng kaso ng mga magulang mo. Lahat ng properties niyo na hawak ng gobyerno ngayon ay maibabalik rin sa inyo. Kung papakasalan mo ako, maglalaho nang parang bula ang lahat ng problema ng pamilya mo.”

“What about our other properties that you bought?”

“They will remain as mine. I paid for those.”

“I want them back.”

“Hmm? How about you sell yourself to me in exchange?

“You're crazy. You don't know who you're f-cking with. Hindi ka ba natatakot na baka sa susunod na araw pinaglalamayan ka na?!”

“Oh, I know who I'm dealing with and I am not scared. You think your family's Russian Mafia bravado bullshit works on me? Hell, your father couldn't even kill me even if he wanted to. Walang magagawa ang pamilya mo laban sa akin. Kaya ka nga nandito, hindi ba?”

“You almost killed my father.”

“I am sorry about that. But not really. It made you come to me.”

“You're an asshole.”

“I am, but you know not all the time. I just want you back.” He graced her neck with his lips, sending shivers down her spine. “Marry me and all your problems will be over. Ikaw lang ang gusto kong makuha. Leave me again like you did before and I'll make sure you'll have to do it crying and crawling. I f*****g mean it, Tina. I will haunt you in every corner of the world and I will make sure you'll live in hell.”

Leave him like she did to him before? What the hell was he talking about?

“Why do you hate me so much?”

“Hate is the opposite of what I feel for you, Darling.” Dumampi ang mga labi nito sa tuktok ng kanyang ulo. “Come on, now. How hard would it be to be my wife? I'm good looking, I'm wealthy, I am no pushover, and I can provide you good s*x. All you need to do is lay in bed, spread your legs and take my c**k. Madali lang. Tulad lang iyon ng ginagawa mo noon para sa akin.”

The f-cker was really getting in her nerves. But thinking ahead, she saw what could be the probable outcomes of him still pestering her and her family. Her parents would rot in jail. Totoo ang mga kasong nakasampa  laban sa mga ito at hindi niya iyon pwedeng basta na lang balewalain. The future of her siblings would be ruined too. And if they truly go down the gutter she might not be able to take care of that one special person in her life. If André keeps at it, he will probably dig through all her secrets too and thats the last thing she wants to happen. Anything but that.

Taking his offer into consideration, a part of her thoughts agreed that he was probably right. What could possibly go wrong if they are to be married? It's easy as pie and better than having him chasing on their heels. Besides, if they're married she can keep a close eye on him and use her vee for vendetta. If she wants out of the marriage, pwede lang siyang gumawa ng mga masasamang bagay na mag-uudyok dito para hiwalayan siya. Ano pa ba ang pinag-aalinlangan niya?

“Will you eat my pizda?” Will you eat my cunt?

His hand suddenly went under her skirt and a finger suddenly found her hole. Napahawak siya sa kamay nito at napaigtad  nang maramdaman ang paggalaw ng daliri nito papaloob sa kanya. He was fingering her and her mind was easily clouded with lust.

“I can give you a demo now if you want.”

She closed her eyes tightly. “Y-Yes.”

“Yes to what, Darling?”

She couldn't make up her mind. 

“Hmm? Do you agree now to be my wife?” He laughed against her hair. “Say yes to heaven,” he ordered while fingerfucking her cunt. “Say yes to me.”

She swallowed hard and like an obedient slut she moaned, “Y-Yes.”

He stopped and she wished she didn't say yes so sooner. Hinihingal na iginiya siya ni André papasok sa isang silid na isa palang bed room. Pinaupo siya nito sa kama saka ito gumalaw para kumuha ng kung anong bagay sa closet.

Confusion and fright engulfed her chest when she saw him take out a pair of handcuffs.

“What are those for?”

He grins like the devil. “Your time for running away from me is over, Kristina.”
