WARNING : UNEDITED
Faust's POV
"Stop giving me that look, Agustus." I annoyingly demanded to the old man currently bothering me as began to descend the cold water of my pent house inner pool.
I can see on his face that he's about to start lecturing me again.
"What you're doing to her and her family is a bit too much, kiddo. " His Australian accent is lingering clearly on his tone.
"And here I thought you're on MY side. She's a gold digging wench who will bend over to any guy who's pocket overflows with money. She had this coming to her. You know how much I worked hard for all this to happen." I scoffed while dipping half of my body into the coldness.
"Yes, I was there when you suffered during your trials. And no one knows you better than I do, but what you're doing to that girl won't bring you satisfaction. Trust me. You will only- *blubb blubb blubb*"
Hindi ko na pinakinggan pa ang mga sinasabi niya at lumusong na sa tubig.
He's gonna be pissed because I'm ignoring him again.
As I rise from the water, something hard hit the top of my head and bounced the f**k off to somewhere!
"The f**k was that?!" As soon as my vision cleared up, I saw him with a smug and satisfied smile on his damn face.
Kita ko na lang na lumulutang sa tubig ang water bottle na dinala ko mula sa kusina.
"Did you just hit me in the head, old man?!" I grabbed the bottle and tried to hit him in the face but he effortlessly dodge it with minimal movement.
This old bastard and his reflexes!
"I was actually trying to hit your face but I guess I'm getting a bit rusty." Aniya pa at tila papasok na sa loob.
Agustus, my so-called guardian and bodyguard, a former CIA agent whom my father trusts the most. Siya ang gumabay sa akin sa halos lahat ng bagay magmula ng makabalik ako galing sa paglalayas ko.
"She's outside the building and it's about to rain. The girl has been standing there for almost an hour." He's blank look tells me he's waiting for what I'm about to say.
I heard him say she's out there an hour ago. I didn't tell her to wait so how's that my fault?
Kahit pa parang pamilya ang turing ko sa kanya, wala pa rin siyang magagawa sa kung anong gusto kong gawin.
"She can do whatever she wants. I bet she's here to beg for money or for my support. I've met a lot of women like her so this much I know she will do." I laughed mockingly as I do another round across the pool and back.
"Should I tell the guards to turn her away instead?" He's face still blank.
"No, actually, will you fetch her for me? If she wants to come and see me, let her. I have time to spare and play with her tonight. I want to see her rattled and troubled face after that video surfaced again. She now knows how rich and famous I am. Wanna take a bet? $1 million, I bet she's going to warm my bed tonight. How about it?" Natatawa kong hamon kay Agustus.
Naghanda na rin akong umahon.
Agustus sighs heavily and walks out. Bago pa siya tuluyang nakalabas ay huminto siya at nagsalita.
"Like I said, I know you better than anyone else, kiddo. You can smile all you want, mock her all you want, but all this revenge thing you're doing is gonna bite you back harder. Revenge my ass! That girl has kept you going before and even after you both went separate ways. You can't bullshit your way out of this, kiddo." He warned then finally left.
Tch! Sometimes he meddle too much. That old man.
I sit on the bench on the side of the pool, watching the waves on the water slowly subsiding until it goes completely calm.
Her face... I still see it.
Fuck!
One of the reason why I worked my self to the point that Agustus even tied me onto the bed is because whenever I'm not doing anything, whenever my head manages to free up enough space for me to dwell on, her face, my memories of her shows up out of nowhere!
That's why after many years of staying away, I decided to put an end to this once and for all. I want her to see me at the top, stepping on everything she has and make her feel broken as much as I once did! Maybe then I'll be free from her. After my revenge is done, I'll have nothing to do with her!
I snap back into reality the moment I hear the elevator door swing open.
It's time to do what I really want.
I put on the towel around my waist then brush my wet hair backwards.
Tahimik ang bawat tapak ko sa marmol na sahig patungo sa sala. As soon as I saw her looking around, fancying every expensive furnitures and diamonds embedded around my home, my hatred resurfaced.
She hasn't changed a bit. Every f*****g gold digger's true color shows under the light of gems and gold!
It just proves my revenge is justifiable!
And everything I said to Agustus was right. She's just here to beg for merits and favors. With a her tears and all her cries, it just makes me feel disgusted.
I remain silent for a moment, watching her begging on her knees like a lowly woman that she is. I brought his father up from the rubbles. He gained a lot from what I spared him with.
This woman must've liked it so much that she's literally handing herself to me as payment.
Then why not? I'll play with this money sniffing wench.
"You will take the heat all on your own." My lips twisted into an evil grin.
Kitang-kita ko kung paano mabalot ng kaba ang kanyang mukha sa paanyaya ko. Is she afraid of getting f****d or what? It's not like I'm the first guy she's gonna bend over for money, anyways.
"What... do you mean... H-hindi magandang biro yan, Mr. Mendez." Maang maangan pa niya habang pinipilit ang peke at kabadong ngiti.
"Really? This is how you play your cards? You don't need to play hard to get, it won't work on me now. We both know I can afford you unlike before. I need a release tonight and it just so happens that you're here so why not make use you?" I said a matter of fact-ly.
"F-Faust- I mean, Mr. Mendez, hindi ako ganyang uri ng babae-"
"You're exactly what I'm implying here. There's a video to prove my point, actually. Didn't I remind you of that?" Her expression showed a disgusting shade of hurt and sadness. An act to gain my sympathy that will never work.
Natahimik siya at napayuko sa kanyang kinatatayuan. I can hear her sobs getting louder and it annoys me even further.
"My patience is running thin. Let me just remind you that I don't need you. Just drop the act and come inside or you can leave and forget about my help. I didn't even invite you here. YOU came on your own, begging for God knows what money I can give you and here I am, setting my condition. You're not even worth a dollar, you w***e. This is as good as it's going to get." Laced with venom, my words came out lashing.
A flash of disbelief and pain is painted on her crying face.
At last, the moment I've been wanting to see. The same look I had when she fooled me! The face I used to long for but now I hated the most.
This look suits her.
Sandali pa siyang umiyak sa kinatatayuan niya. How satisfying it was but now it's rather annoying. I don't have all night for this. Maya-maya ay huminto rin siya sa pag-iyak at nanahimik. Before I could even throw another insult, she begins to walk towards the door.
"If this is what you want then be done with me. Don't betray your words. Gawin mo ang lahat para sa papa ko." She spat angrily as she walks right by me. "I don't want to see you again after this." She added.
This wench has guts, I give her that.
The night with her passed and I did what I wanted with her. In the middle of it I regained hope. I hoped we could return the way we were.
I thought I was wrong about her but clearly I was mistaken. This was her plan all along. To lure me back and take me as a hostage. She was aiming to impregnate herself with my seed and take what is mine!
But all she got from me was threats and nothing else. A dirty woman like her will never take a hold of me. I left her with a warning but she kept insisting she had no control over it.
Lying wench!
I threatened her that if she let herself be pregnant from this and won't take morning pills after she left, she's going to regret it and I meant it!
She left my bed crying and limping.
Naiwan ako sa kama habang pinag-iisipan kung san ako nagkamali! She fooled me before and now she managed to fool me again, even if it was for a brief moment.
I hate this feeling!
A stayed in bed for a moment, I think I'm starting to go mad because of how this woman keeps on playing me for a fool again and again!
I plan on talking to her again tomorrow. If my threat before wasn't enough, I better make sure she gets the message clearly before my mistake bears fruit.
Fuck this!
Bumangon sa kama at nagtungo sa banyo ng walang suot. I run the shower, cold enough to cool my steaming body.
"I hate you, Faust." I can remember her soft, quivering voice as she uttered it in bed.
This is not how I imagined revenge would feel. Not in the slightest.
Napasandal ako sa malaking salamin na nasa harapan ko at pinapanuod ang pagpatak ng tubig mula sa aking buhok.
I look like a beaten dog. f**k!
As I bend my head downwards, fear and confusion filled my head almost instantly!
B-blood? Is- is this blood?
May bahid ng kulay pula sa tubig na nagmumula sa aking katawan. Red streaks swirling down the drain from my feet could mean only one thing!
I immediately slam the door open and run towards the room. I turned the lights on and grabbed the soft linen covering the bed. There are small bloody spots and smudges on the bed linen and on the inside part of the blanket! The room was too dark for me to notice and I wasn't really paying attention.
Doon ko lang napagtanto ang lahat! The way she's hurting and why she literally begged me to slow down.
But... How is this possible?!
How was she a virgin?!
To be continued...
