Chapter 12
All these things started when we knew about the association. And the time when Vielle went missing.
Bloody feud.
Unprecedented damages occured. It was hard for all of us.
I was smoldered with resentment, finding out that Hattie has been kidnapped. Molten anger rolled through my veins.
"You should calm, Storm..." Giusteo whispered slowly.
Parang nang-aalo ang boses niya kaya't bahagya akong tumango.
"I'm sorry..."
Napahilamos ako sa mukha at napapikit nang mariin.
"Don't be," he remarked softly. "We will find her, okay?"
I almost spat my anger towards him earlier. I wanted to burst out. Damn it! And I just can't believe that I let it all happen after finding out the truth earlier.
Nakapanlulumong hindi ko nasabi ang tungkol kay Allison... lalo nang malaman kong si Yuno nga ang traydor sa loob ng HA.
I expected it to be him, but I can't help to feel a bit surprised. He did those cruel things because of love.
Hindi ko masasabing mababaw ang rason niya. We all have different point of views. We don't handle a situation or feeling with the same way. Pwedeng wala lang iyon sa'yo pero malaking bagay para sa kaniya.
Chaos brings bloodier destruction when it's infused with love.
It's bloodier... that even his own love killed him ruthlessly.
And I was afraid... if ever I will come in the same situation with Giusteo... because I can feel that thing towards him.
I just can't put it on my own words. He makes me nervous when I'm trying to spit it out. Pero pinapangunahan ako ng kakaibang nararamdaman tuwing nariyan siya. I'm afraid if I could do to him the same thing I did to Harell.
He was the only person who can make me feel both devotion and fear. What a powerful man, Giusteo Lardiza.
Thank goodness that it was all done. We saved Thaleia from their hands. Ang mga Caceres ay wala na rin maliban kila Xaira na nakatakas.
Sigurado akong may pagkakataong babalikan niya kami. Lalo na't pinatay ni Vielle at Leuxia ang mga pinsan niya.
Ang kalmadong mga araw ay sinimulan naming gamitin para sa paghahanda. Nalalapit na ang pagbabalik namin sa karera.
"You will really join the streetracing again, Storm?" Giusteo asked as we entered his condo.
Kagagaling lang namin sa Kaybiang Tunnel kanina para mag-ensayo. Routine namin ng Tria iyon dati pa tuwing may karera. Sinadya ko rin ulit mangyari dahil sa isang bagay.
And it was suspicious that the way through the laboratory cannot be found.
"Syempre."
Giusteo turned to me with brows shot up before nodding.
Ang tungkol sa laboratory nila Allison ang tinungo namin dito. We want to investigate again even though the chaos is over... that's what we thought for a quite long silence now.
Sumunod ako kay Giusteo sa loob ng computer room. I stood behind me. Watching him closely while he's manipulating the computer expertly.
His hands moved fast as if they knew and memorized every key. Codes and numbers flashed as I continued watching.
"Kaiden sent me some informations also using his skills in tracing," tumingala siya at nilingon ako mula sa likod.
"You told him about it?"
He bit his lower lip before nodding. He gave me a careful but questioning look.
"I shouldn't? I'm so-"
"No," agap ko. "It's okay. I'm just asking."
He let out a sigh in relief. Napailing ako at bahagyang natawa.
"Akala ko magagalit ka, tsk."
Sinenyasan ko siyang magpatuloy sa ginagawa. Sa tuwing nagiging itim ang screen ay tumititig ako sa repleksyon niya. I caught him looking back too, everytime.
"Kaiden got some information about the laboratory itself in the woods of Kaybiang," he spat, informing. "Wala rin siyang nakuha kung anong nangyari rito matapos mamatay ni Yuno."
I nodded slowly, reading the familiar informations.
LV4 Viral Sample, a programmable virus. It strengthens the bioweapon and capabilities of the cyborgs when it's extracted.
"I knew it. It's the counterpart," I chuckled incredulously.
Nilingon ako ni Giusteo. Nag-angat siya ng tingin sa akin pero nanatili ang mga mata ko sa screen, patuloy na binabasa ang mga nakuhang information.
"They were smart to use Yara as victim of kidnapping to conceal their agenda. Who would've really thought that it's him..."
I took a sight of Giusteo and caught him staring. My brows knitted perplexedly.
"What?"
"Did you just laugh?" he gaped.
I slowly shook my head and pursed my mouth.
"As if it's the first time you saw? Insane."
"It's the fourth time," he corrected.
Ibinalik ko ang tingin sa kaniya bago natawa. Hindi makapaniwala akong umiling.
"You've counted?"
"It's the fifth time," he smirked playfully.
Sandali akong natulala at napatitig a kaniya bago sinapo ang noo. Tangina, Giusteo.
"You want to read these all?" he diverted. "I'll just cook our lunch."
"You can cook?"
He stood before nodding. He gestured me to sit.
"It's a usual thing, Storm. There's nothing special if I can."
My brows shot up before flashing a lop-sided grin.
"I know. You are already special even though you can't cook."
"Shut up, Storm," he rolled his eyes, smirking.
He laughed before leaving the room. The defeaning silence occured when I was left alone. Inilibot ko sandali ang tingin sa buong kwarto.
Ang liwanag ay mula lamang sa iilang computer na nakabukas. Walang kahit anong ilaw kaya medyo madilim ang paligid.
I started reading and analyzing all the important informations about the cyborgs and LV4. I couldn't help to feel amaze by the technology. Even the impossible thing can happen.
I wonder how it feels when you have these superhuman strength and biowepons. It seems like they are too powerful. Unbelievable.
Nalipat ang tingin ko sa isang laptop nang umilaw ito. Tumunog din ang maliit na speaker na nakakonekta rito. My eyes narrowed curiously.
Bumaling ako roon at inusod and swivel chair. A mail was sent from Hylex Rossi. I didn't type anything but the message suddenly opened.
My eyes widened, almost popping out. My lips parted as I cursed silently.
"Azariah Dione Solasta-Levesque... "
I slowly read the bold letter in the upper part. What the f**k? These are all informations about me.
I immediately checked it. All those things about my real identity were stated. I clenched my fist, fuming in rage.
Why the f**k Hylex Rossi of Duivel sent this to him? Giusteo was trying to know me more...
I suddenly remembered the young Azariah asking her Mom. Frustration pounded through my veins.
"What if... a person found out my real identity?"
"Kill that person."
"What if-"
"That's the order, my daughter."
I slowly shook my head. Napahilamos ako sa mukha. I couldn't just kill him...
Huminga ako nang malalim. Hindi maipagkakailang may naramdamang galit nang malaman iyon.
He's trying to search for my identity, because unlike him... he knew me barely.
I tried to delete the mail. I know he will find out about it but I still did. I tried to calm myself... I need to face him casually so he won't notice what I will do.
"Storm," he called before opening the door. "Let's eat."
Nilingon ko siya. Sandaling nagtagal ang tingin ko sa kaniya bago tumango. I stood and walked towards him. My eyes accidentally landed on a pistol. I breathed heavily.
I did it to Harrel... why the f**k I can't?
We immediately finished eating as we talked casually. He keeps on asking me about the streetracing. I was listening carefully in the every words he will spit.
I grinned wickedly inside my head.
"We will still find out where the laboratory?"
"We will try if we can. We need to move quietly," I answered him, looking directly on his eyes.
He nodded and started typing on his another laptop here in the sala. I wonder how many does he own. And if it's specifically assigned for one thing.
"I'll to hack a system again so we can find the location."
"Alright," I nodded.
It's really important for to hide my identity. Once it will spread, another bloody chaos will happen. There's nothing more important.
"If we can't maybe you can ask help to the Levesques."
"How can you that I can?" I raised my brow.
"You are family friends?"
I watched his lips moving slowly. He was so near. I couldn't ignore his presence and it's good so he won't notice my hidden agenda... after doing it.
Natigilan siya nang mapansing papalapit ang mukha ko. Bahagyang nakaawang ang medyo pusyaw at manipis niyang labi.
I stopped when I was almost inch far. The tip of our nose were touching. I smirked wickedly. His brows shot up as he cursed silently.
"Darn it."
Naitukod ko ang kamay sa likod nang sumunggab siya ng halik sa malapit kong mukha. He hold my back to stay still.
He started kissing me passionately, but demanding. I hold upon his arm with protruded veins. He slowly bit and nipped my lower lip.
I can feel the intensified pounding of my heart. I felt my pulse racing because of him. I just wished I can kill him after this.
He continued devouring my lips as his kisses travelled to my jaw and down to my neck. I whispered a cursed when I felt him leaving peck. I tilted my head to give him more access.
He cursed silently. He suddenly stopped. Napaawang ang bibig ko at nilingon siya.
"I shouldn't go that far, Storm. I'm sorry."
"Why not?"
His eyes immediately widened in surprise.
"What?"
His eyes darted to my hand on his arm. Marahan ko iyong pinadulas at hindi inaalis ang tingin sa kaniya.
"I can't control enough so don't play with me, Azariah..." he remarked, annoyed.
I grinned viciously. I gave him a come-hither look.
"Don't play with me."
"I'm not deaf, Giusteo," I whispered. "I'm not playing too."
Nilingon ko sandali ang laptop. Sinundan niya iyon ng tingin kaya kinuha ko ang pagkakataon. I slowly kissed his jawline.
He groaned furiously, trying to control himself.
"Ah, f**k, Storm!" he moaned angrily when he felt my hand on his clothed thing.
He caught my hands and closed the laptop. He stared at me with eyes firing desire on his eyes. I got near and started kissing him.
Marahan siyang sumandal at humalik pabalik. He pulled me closer so I landed on his top. He didn't let my hands. Hawak niya pa rin iyon pareho gamit sa isang kamay lang.
His kisses were slowly going on my neck. I called his name with the unreserved desire. Fire and passion inside me met him.
"You keep turning me on so..." he whispered, giving marks on my neck. "Baby, don't blame me for what happens next."
I hung my arms on his nape when he let it go. I caressed his hair, receiving the pleasure he gives.
"Giusteo!" I called when I felt his hand on my bud against a harsh cloth.
His mouth crushed on mine again. He stood with me and started walking inside a room.
Naupo siya sa dulo ng kama pero nanatili akong nakatayo. Nakayuko ang ulo sa kaniya at patuloy na humahalik.
His kiss slowly stopped when he felt the sharpness of my small dagger. I was slowly sliding on his face.
"What the f**k, Storm?"
I bowed more and went to his ear.
"You are digging deeper with my identity," I slowly whispered and brushed my lips on his jawline.
Mariin siyang napapikit bago umiling.
"No, I don't."
My brows furrowed, not satisfied on his answer.
"You didn't ask for a mail from Hylex Rossi?"
"What mail? I don't know what you are talking about. I told you to trust me, Storm."
"I knew it, Giusteo. And as if I could really kill you? Tss."
I caressed his hair slowly when he started leaving marks again on my neck.
"So you are planning to kill after devouring me huh?" he whispered and sucked my skin harshly.
He pulled me so I landed again on his lap. Nabitawan ko ang punyal.
"You can't kill me, Storm. Your body is calling me."
I already knew that I couldn't. It's trust I founded to him from the start. I realized it all seeing his fearful eyes earlier. Dman it.
Even though without all these pleasure from. I knew it from the start. Damn it, I'm fooling myself.
"Darn it, Giusteo."
I bit my lip when he suddenly slid his finger inside my pants, to my bud. I tried to hold my moan when he slowly touched it.
"f**k, Giusteo," I whispered, panting.
He stared at me while doing it. I felt my face reddened more with his desireful stare.
"Giusteo..."
I can hear and feel him breathing harshly on my neck. My heart was beating so fast, panting for air and his touch.
"Hmm, my name huh," he chuckled seductively.
I tugged and gripped on his shirt. His sensual eyes were overpowering me. He groaned erotically when his touch heated my body.
Our body seemed to melt against each other.
We gave in to each other with both desire and affection... Desire thrummed through our veins as the affection poured us.
