NAGISING si Helen na masakit ang ulo at katawan. Sinubukan niyang igalaw ang kaniyang kamay ngunit hindi niya maigalaw ang kaniyang kamay dahil may nakakabit na kadena roon. Magkabilaang kamay.

"Putangina!" mura niya.

Nagpumiglas siya hanggang sa nakita niyang pumasok si Alexander na naka-button down shirt at khaki pants. She was dazzled with him, but his aura is serious and screams danger.

"What the fuck with this chains, Mr. Adamos?" she asked, annoyed.

"Pregnant, huh. Who's the father?" he asked.

Napakuyom ang kamao ni Helen. "You don't care who's the father of my child." she uttered, coldly. "You're just wasting your time," she added.

Alexander walked towards her. His eyes were cold, his expressions too.

"I'm not wasting my time. You're Amalthea Helen Garadzela." Alexander said her complete name. "Nice name for a slave."

"Slave?" Helen gulped as she tried to struggle the chains on her hands. "Slave your ass!"

Kunot ang noo, nakakuyom ang kamao ng binata. "Don't you want to sing who you are working with? Why would you pretend to be a maid just to get an information? For what purpose is that?" sunod-sunod na tanong ng binata.

Helen rolled her eyes. "You just caught me and you think that I will tell you my true identity? You're wrong, Mr. Adamos." she shook her head.

Alexander held her face, she swallowed hard. She was afraid that Alexander would hit her face and he did. He slapped her, easily. Not even hard.

"Is that all you got?" hamon ni Helen at nakatitig lang sa mga mata ng binata. "Look, even if you kill me nor punish me, I won't tell you every single details about me... about my identity."

Alexander heaved a deep sigh. Inilapit niya ang mukha sa dalaga. Napansin niyang napakagat labi si Helen at medyo inilayo ang kaniyang ulo. Ngumisi lang si Alexander at inilapit pa ang kaniyang labi sa gilid ng labi ng dalaga.

Kung papansinin ay halos maghalikan na ang dalawa pero dahil pilit inilalayo ni Helen ang kaniyang ulo, hindi niya inaasahan ang pagkabig sa kaniya ng binata at dahilan para magtagpo ang labi nilang dalawa.

Alexander kissed her, passionately. She closed her eyes as she struggle but then, Alexander moved away with a smile plastered on his lips.

"Soon, you'll tell me who you are... I mean, I will dig information about you," he said. "And that baby in your tummy? I will be the father of that child even if I wasn't the one who impregnated you. You will be my slave forever." bakas ang inis at iritasyon sa boses nito.

Napalunok si Helen. "Don't interfere with my child, this is mine. Not yours, Mr. Adamos." malamig niyang utas. "You don't have the right to be a father to my child because you're a heartless monster I've ever seen!"

Alexander raised a brow. "Or is that my child and you're planning something so that I won't know about its existence?"

Helen scoffed. "Really, Mr. Adamos? Don't you remember what did you say the last time we talked? You told me that if you get me pregnant, you told me to abort it!" nagpipigil si Helen dahil baka kung saan pa mapunta ang usapan at madulas siya.

Natauhan naman si Alexander.

Did I really tell her that?

"You know what, Alexander?" she called his name now. "You're a fucked up Mafia boss without balls. You're heartless!"

Muling lumapit si Alexander sa pwesto niya at ngayon, hawak nito ang kaniyang panga. Mahigpit ngunit iba ang sinasabi ng mga mata ng binata.

"You're just making it hard for you, Alexander. Why? Because you can't resist me? You can't kill me, am I right?"

Alexander heaved a deep sigh. He was frustrated and now he doesn't know what's the emotions inside him.

"Fuck it, Helen! You know where you could get me, huh. You know that I can't kill you because I can't resist you." he scoffed. "Yes, I can't kill you. And I don't want to kill you because there is something I don't want to feel inside of me!" he yelled.

Natawa lamang si Helen sa reaksyon ng binata. "You're funny, Mr. Adamos. You killed many people and you're afraid to kill me now? What a shame as a mafia boss... what a shame." punong-puno ng pang-asar sa boses nito.

Tama lang 'yan sa iyo, Alexander. Bulalas ni Helen sa kaniyang utak.

"Now that you're under my surveillance, you'll never escape. Not ever, Helen." Alexander muttered as he walked out of the room, madly and furious.

HELEN was left dumbfounded, as she was struggling with the chains on her wrist. She shook her head and just give up.

"Putangina mo, Alexander..." mura niya sa binata habang nakatingin sa pintong nilabasan nito. "Kapag ako ang nakawala sa mga kadenang ito, ikaw ang ikakadena ko sa sarili mo ring kama!" bulalas niya.

Makalipas ang ilang oras, nakaramdam ng kirot si Helen at napansin niya ang kaniyang balikat na may dugong umaagos roon dahil sa sugat na natamo niya. Ramdam niya ang pamamanhin niyon at natitiyak niyang may pampa-paralized ang bala ng baril na tumama sa kaniya.

She groaned in pain, she was annoyed yet she's deeply fucking mad at Alexander. She wanted to rest and she's weak enough to shout in Alexander's room. Nagtataka nga siya kung bakit sa silid siya nito namamalagi at hindi sa selda.

"Katangahan ang ikulong ako, Alexander," mahinang sambit niya. "...kung wala ka namang balak panindigan ang nararamdaman mo." dugtong niya.

Nakatulog na lamang si Helen habang dumudugo ang kaniyang sugat at nauuhaw. Wala siyang magawa kung hindi ang manahimik na lamang. Tanging hinihintay na lang niya kung may magtatanggal sa kadena sa kaniyang mga kamay.

Naalimpungatan si Helen dahil sa paglubog ng kama. Iminulat niya ang kaniyang mga mata at napansin niya ang bulto ni Alexander na tinatanggal ang kadena sa kaniyang mga kamay.

"Don't move," his deep and baritone voice lingers to her ears.

Ang kalahati ng katawan nito ay halos tumapat na sa kaniyang mukha. Isang malalim na paghinga ang kaniyang ginawa bago ibaling sa ibang direksyon ang kaniyang tingin at nang matanggal na ng binata ang kadena, bumalikwas siya ng bangon bago hilain si Alexander pahiga sa kama at siya ang umibabaw rito.

Hindi pumalag si Alexander, hinayaan niya lamang ang dalaga.

"What the hell are you doing?" he asked, coldly.

"You shouldn't remove the chains," she smirked. "....you know me, how to kill a man like you," she added, seriously.

Alexander just chuckled. Natigilan si Helen, natulala lang sa binata.

Bakit ngayon pa? Bakit ngayon pa ako natulala sa kaniya dahil lang sa pagtawa niya? What's wrong with me?

Hinuli ni Alexander ang kaniyang baywang at siya muli ang ipinahiga nito sa kama habang may nakapaskil na ngisi sa labi nito.

"You're mesmerized, baby... why is that?" he asked, teasing her, seductively. "Sou aréso?"

Helen knitted her forehead. "Den se thélo kan sti zoí mou, eínai amartía na sou arései énas týpos san eséna." she muttered, frankly. I don't even want you in my life, it's a sin to like a guy like you.

He looks hot speaking his language as Helen swallowed a lump in her throat. Hindi niya alam kung maaasar ba siya o matutulala na lamang siya.

"Allá den fovámai na sou po óti me trelaíneis moró mou..." Alexander blurted, seriously as he was looking directly in her eyes. But I'm not afraid to tell you that you drive me crazy baby... "Synéchisa na se erotévomai kai den xéro ti eínai aftó to synaísthima mésa sto stíthos mou." he added as his tone was sincere. I kept falling in love with you and I don't know what this feeling is inside my chest.

Helen just blinked her eyes twice. She doesn't know where to start. Lumuwag rin ang pagkakasakal niya sa binata. Natuliro sa bawat salitang sinasambit nito.

"W-What do you mean?" nauutal na tanong niya. "Y-You like me... that's impossible!" she couldn't believe him. She could properly understand what he had said but it looks like she's being deaf right now.

"Éspasa tous dikoús mou kanónes... gia séna, moró mou." he mumbled, softly. I broke my own rules... for you, baby.
