Hiding The Billionaire's Son

KABANATA 29

Third Person's Point of View

Hawak ang isang semi-automatic gun ay walang pag-aalinlangang tinungo ni Zerron ang silid kong saan si Zaera at ang anak nito. The door was locked but it doesn't stop him to went inside the room. He uses the lock picks in order to crash inside the room.

A hard-metal object was swung in his direction. A baseball bat to be exact. Kaagad siyang yumuko upang iwasan ito. Due to his reflexes and active senses, he doged it easily. He knows who it is. Base on her voice and his scent. Alam nitong si Zaera ang may gawa non. The room was dim, the reason for Zaera to unrecognize the person that she was dealing with.

Hinampas niya ulit si Zaeron sa kaliwang tagiliran nito ngunit kaagad na nakalayo si Zerron. He's somehow amused on how Zaera was really into it. Hinayaan niya lang na paulit-ulit siyang pilit pinapatamaan ni Zaera ng baseball bat at sinasangga lang niya ito.

He's enjoying hearing Zaera shooting him curses that he rarely heard from her before. But he immediately shifted his gaze to the veranda. Napansin nito ang anino na nakatayo sa labas ng veranda and he knows that it is Sin. Madali niyang nakuha ang baseball bat sa kamay ni Zaera at kaagad itong hinila palapit sa gilid ng closet bago takpan ang bibig nito.

"Hmmph!" She's trying to remove his hand but he never let her.

"Shh! It's me" He said softly that made her astounded. "Keep quiet" Bulong niya ulit habang ang paningin ay nasa labas ng veranda kung saan pilit na binubuksan ang lock ng sliding door. He cursed mentally.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Zaera ng makilala ito. Gusto niyang magtanong pero hindi niya magawa dahil natatakpan ang bibig niya. Zerron diverted his gaze over her and stare at her intently after releasing her mouth.

"Save your questions later, Eve. For now, get Zian and hide inside the bathroom" Utos nito bago pakawalan siya. Hingal na hingal itong nakatitig kay Zerron at gulong-gulo ang isipan. "Hurry up! We don't have time!" Utos ni Zerron at kinasa ang hawak nitong baril.

Kamuntik pang mapasigaw si Zaera sa gulat ng makita ito. Wala na siyang nagawa kung hindi buhatin ng marahan si Zian na tulog pa rin hanggang ngayon. She's shivering with fear. It looks like she's experiencing a panic attack after she saw the gun on Zerron's hand. Wala siyang sinayang na oras at kaagad na pumasok sa loob ng bathroom at isinara ito.

Kaagad na nagkubli si Zerron sa gilid ng sliding door at hinintay ang pagpasok ng panauhin. Saktong pagbukas ng sliding dooray siyang pagpasok ng babae. Iwinasiwas nito kay Zerron ang hawak na double-edged sword. If he's not skilled enough to dodge it he will probably beheaded by that.

"Who do you served?" The woman asked while swinging her sword towards him. Zerron didn't bother to answer her while dodging her atracks.

Zerron uses his free hand to fetch out the dagger in his waist and use it to blocked her attacks. Kaagad na napatalon si Zerron ng balak nitong patamaan ang binti niya. He use that milliseconds just to kick her in the face. Napaatras ang babae at napahawak sa kaniyang mukha.

"I ask you. Who do you served?" Malamig na tanong ng babae na taimtim na tintingnan si Zerron.

She doesn't have any idea who she was dealing with. Masiyadong madilim ang silid upang makilala niya ito. Zerron still didn't have any reason to answer her and initiated the first attack. Their moves are fast, only you could heear is th clanging of both weapons that they were holding. Zerron skillfully doged all of her attacks because he knows how to deal with her when he's at Empire.

The only thing that he doesn't have any idea is her unfaithfulness with her Superior. The Emperor. She's one of the subordinate of Emperor but she's serving the traitor.

"Where are the Mother and the child?!" Galit na tanong nito kay Zerron at sinugod siya ulit. Kaagad namang napaatras si Zerron at mabilis na ipinaputok ang baril sa direksiyon nito. When she diverted her attention towards the bullet Zerron use that chance to throw the five shuriken towards her. Nakaiwas ito sa bala at sa limang shuriken pero hindi niya naiwasan ang dagger na paparating mismo sa kaniya.

Kaagad itong bumaon sa kaniyang kaliwang braso kaya't napangiwi ito. Humawak ito sa kaniyang braso at pinukol ng masamang tingin si Zerron.

"Akala mo mapapatay mo ako dahil lang sa dagger mo? You can't!" Sigaw nito at sumugod pero hindi pa man siya nakalapit ay kagad siyang napahawak sa kaniyang dibdib. Sunod siyang napaluhod at napubo ng dugo.

"Really, Sinister Grengia?"

Nilukob ng panlalamig at takot ang buong katawan ng babae habang nakatuon ang paningin sa sahig. Bukod sa iniinda nito ang paninikip ng dibdib ay iniinda rin nito ang takot. Takot sa taong nasa harapan niya at takot para sa kamatayan niya. She didn't see it coming. She's not aware that this is the last time that she will be able to see the nightime.

"mon Seigneur..." She whispered enough for him to hear it. Habol nito ang kaniyang paghinga hanggang sa matumba ito sa sahig. She's struggling from her breath and gasping for air desperately. She tried to speak but nothing came out from her mouth.

Then, she died due to so much suffocation and blood intoxication. Zerron stared at her lifeless body. He put back his gun into his waist. Binalingan nito ng tingin ang pintuan ng palikuran kung saan nandoon ang kaniyang mag-ina.

"I won't think twice to kill whoever will try to touch them mercilessly. I'll make sure that they will suffer painfully"

Zaera's Point of View

Buhat-buhat ko si Zian habang nakasandal ako sa sink at pinipilit kong pakalmahin ang sarili ko dahil nagkakaroon ako ng panic atrack. I was so stunned after seeing the gun in his hand. Sa tingin ko'y hindi ako mapapanatag at makakatulog ng maayos dahil sa nakita ko.

Where that fre*king gun came from?! Luckily Zian was still sleeping right now. I heard a knock from the door that almost freak me out! My hands are a bit cold and trembling. Hindi ko alam kung lalabas ba ako o hindi.

"Zaera, everything's fine. Lumabas na kayo ni Zian" I can hear assurance in his voice but I'm still hesitating. I heard another knock. "Zaera, you're scaring the sh*t out of me! Ayos lang ba kayo diyan sa loob?"

Napalunok ako ng mahimigan ang pag-aalala sa boses niya. I tried to calm myself. Napansin ko rin ang paggalaw ni Zian na buhat-buhat ko.

"O-Oo, palabas na k-kami" Nauutal kong sagot at dahan-dahang pinihit ang door knob.

Bumungad sa akin ang mukha niya. Napatingin ako sa kabuuan ng kuwarto kung saan maliwanag na at wala namang bahid ng kahina-hinalang nangyari. Napakunot noo ako. But I really heard some noises earlier.

Kinuha niya si Zian sa akin at marahan itong ibinaba sa kama. Titig na titig lang ako sa kanya. I was taken aback when he diverted his gaze in my direction. I was pinching my palm to prevent my hands from trembling as well.as my knees.

Napabuntong hininga ito. "Sleep now, Zaera" Utos nito sa seryosong tinig at naglakad palapit sa kinaroroonan ko mabilis akong napaatras.

Hindi ako makapagsalita. He's giving me that weird stare. He heave a deep sigh again. Nilagpasan ako nito upang makalabas siya ng kuwarto pero mabilis akong humarang sa dinadaanan niya.

"H-How did you......" I swallowed the lump on my throat. "H-How did you get here, Zerron?"
