Chapter 4
When she entered the place, she was greatly enchanted by the beauty of it. It seems like a forest in the middle of a valley.
A modern forest. Meron bang ganoon?
A forest that has fully equipped and gardened. Maintained the beauty. Oh! And there’s a fountain at the center of this forest. She was amazed too to see that there is no mansion on this place—rather than a decent house in the middle of the forest.
The two storey house is also beautiful and the interior is just so wonderful. There are a lot of flowers on the side of the house that act as the fence of it.
She can’t help herself to snap a picture of it. It looks so wonderful and beautiful.
Habang papalapit siya sa harapan ng bahay ay nagulat siya nang may makita siyang itim na pusa sa harap ng pinto at para bang nakatingin eto ng masama sa kanya.
“meow.” Ani ng pusa and she gave a little awkward smile.
“H-Hi… hehe” but the thing is… she is afraid of cats. Nang akmang babalik na siya sa pinagmulan niya ay biglang nag meow ulit ang pusa at sa isang iglap ay tumakbo eto papunta sa direksyon niya.
Wala sa sarili ay agad siyang napatakbo palayo rito. Mahigpit ang hawak niya sa sling ng camera niya at sobrang lakas ng kabog ng dibdib niya dahil sa pusa.
Hindi niya alam pero takot na takot talaga siya sa pusa at kahit anino o hindi kaya ay ang tunog pa lang nito ay natatakot na siya.
Kaya ganoon na lang ang takbo nya palayo sa pusa.
Nang lumingon siya para tignan kung sinusundan pa siya nito ay nanlaki ang mata niya na hanggang ngayon ay humahabol pa rin eto. Pero mas ikinagulat niya ng biglang siyang tumilapon at naramdaman niya ang pagbagsak niya sa lupa habang nalingon pa rin sa pusa.
The cat stopped at napatingin lang sa kanya.
Maya maya ay nag meow ang pusa at nang sinundan niya eto ng tingin at naglakad eto papunta sa isang tao sa di kalayuan. Naramdaman niya ang sakit sa katawan niya especially sa braso pero inaagaw siya ng antok.
Okay na tong nabangga ako. At least hindi kinagat ng pusa.

She stirred from the bed and later on she opens her eyes—only to remember the black cat who run after her.
“Meow.” A cat purred in front of her. She is pretty tho.
A CAT? IN FRONT OF HER?
Halos mapatayo siya sa kama ng makita niya ang pusa na hawak hawak ng isang lalake na nakaupo sa upuan at nakaharap sa kanya. “Welcome. Good morning.” bati nito sa kanya.
Napakunot ang noo niya. “Sino ka?”
The man chuckled.
That chuckled went straight to the inside of Samantha. It was very manly. Sexy even. He is wearing a white button ups. Three buttons open. His hair is neatly sweeped. He has a great features and the highlight part is his shoulders. It is so fuucking wide and so sexy. But contrary to his sexy body is his baby pretty boy face.
And Samantha has a thing for… Pretty boys.
“I should be the one asking you that, Miss. Who are you?”
“Meow” the cat said as if she is approves the question. He is holding her in a gentle way and he keeps rubbing the stomach of the cat.
“Why are you in my property?”
“I wasn’t.” she immediately respond that made the man smile.
“Really? But that wasn’t the case. Because you are here now on my property and have a fractured arm.”
Nanlaki ang mata ni Sam sa narinig at agad napatingin sa braso. Tama nga eto. Her left arm is in the blue bag and she can barely move it.
“Again… Why are you here?” he calmly asks and give him a small smile.
And the insides of Samantha is purring like a cat because he is so handsome and damn attractive… but also he looks kinda familiar.
Samantha sighed and waved his right arm as a sign of surrender. “Okay. I was with some club or organizations or whatever the f**k that was called, we hiked to the mountain just to get pictures and I got lost during some time.” She saw him nod but she knows he didn’t believe her.
Because clearly it sounds like a lame reason but that was truth.
“Then?”
“Meow.”
Sam rolled her eyes. “Then I saw this place. I am a photographer by the way and at the same time an interior designer and I am just amazed on how this was designed.”
“Then?”
“Meow.”
“Then I took a few snaps on my camera.”
“Then?”
“Meow.”
“That’s it! And can you please make your cat shut up? She is so nosy and act as if she understand.”
That man faked gasp at nakita niya na inangat niya eto. “What would you do, Medea? She said you are nosy?” he baby talked at narinig niya how the cat made an angry sound. Akmang bababa na sana siya ng kama para makatakbo bago siya tuluyan ipakagat sa pusa ay naramdaman niya ang isang bagay sa paa niya. On her ankle to be exact.
When she lifted the blanket that covers it—she saw her left ankles are being tied so she can’t able to escape. “What is the meaning of this? This is illegal detention!”
The man in front of her who was just sitting on the chair stood up. When she took a glance from his face—she was terrified. The pretty boy face is still there but with a stern and scary looks.
He put down the cat on the ground and he took step forward to her directions.
“Why are you restraining me? This is kidnapping!” She tried to pull the chain that was connected to the bed and to her ankle but it was no use since it is so durable and she thinks that only Hulk can destroy it with a bare hands.
“What are you doing?” she tried not to let her voice wave so that it won’t show the sign of fear but she knows she greatly failed.
“My, My, My.” That man is in front of her now.
He is so tall and has a great form of body. If ever they met randomly in a bar—Samantha would have seduce him already.
“You can stop playing games now, darling. And tell me now, why are you here now? And we know that at this very angle you cannot claim that you are being kidnapped.”
“I already told you!”
Bumaba siya para maging kalebel ang mukha nila at nabigyan pa ng pagkakataon si Samantha na pagmasdan lalo ang mukha ng lalake. He has a beautiful eyes and a perfect nose. A thick but beautiful kind of lips. And the jawline can cut any things because it is so sharp.
How old is he?
She really had a guts to fantasized his possibly kidnapper.
“Why are you here?” and his breath… smells like mint.
Nag mentos ba to? She thought.
“I already told you—I was with some organiza—”
“No one will believe that f****d up reason… Miss Samantha Lacson.”
At parang binuhusan siya ng malamig na tubig sa narinig… and finally she was able to familiarize the person in front of her.
“Governor Alejandro Jemenia?”
“The Third.” He added and gave her a big grin.
