Chapter 40

Walang pinaglagpas na oras si Kamden, he went to Greece just to talk to Thanatos he knows that he made a mistake and have cause that man a heart break but that doesn’t mean that Thanatos can take away what he’s been working on and taking care of. Wala siyang pakialam sa mga taohan ng binata na pinipigilan siya sa pagpasok sa loob ng imperial palace, the gate is wide open and no one can't stop him from getting inside.

He knows the place well, he’d been here before and he knows where Thanatos is right now, he went straight directly to Thanatos office room where he always keep himself busy, the moment he slammed the door opened really hard the fact that made Thanatos startled and wasn’t expecting to see him at all. Galit at nagbabanga ang kilay niya ng makita niyang nakaluhod si Mr. Kang sa harap ng binata at nagmamakaawa itong ibalik ang kompanya sa kamay niya. Kamden hurt ached in a sudden face, seeing his manager doing his best he can just to make him happy and not to worry about anything makes him want cry and just hug him.

Nawala ang pride ng manager niya at lumuluhod ito sa harap ni Thanatos. “Who let you in?” Thanatos voice filled the room, nakatingin si Mr. Kang sa kaniya at gano'n din siya sa binata.

“Lumalagpas kana sa linya mo, Thanatos.” Aniya sa baritonong boses. “Ilang beses na akong dinadala sa clinic dahil sa pagpupuyat ko sa kompanya para lang sa umangak iyon at kilalanin pa lalo nang sa ganon marami akong matulungan! and you...” He gritted his teeth while clenching his jaw. “You took it away from me!” He roared.

Walang emosyon ang mukha nito ng titigan siya sa mga mata niya. “You can’t even afford to pay your debt in my bank Kamden, do you think I will let you tell us another excuses again? nalulugi na ang kompanya mo at nababankrupt ka rin so what's the point of keeping your company opens?” 

His jaw tightened. “Hindi porket na saktan kita ng gano'n... gagawin mo na ito sakin!”

“This is nothing compared to what you did to me.” Thanatos said in a cold voice. “You didn't just broke my heart, you also broke your promises Kamden. Sinira mo lahat ng pangako mo sakin and I thought you would never cheat on me, I was wrong about you.” He stood up, saying. “And I admitted. I'm still in pain and couldn't move on. What you did to me is unforgettable.”

Kamden gritted his teeth. “Y-You can't do this to me Thanatos! alam na alam mo ang kahinaan ko and you took advantage of it! Hindi paba sapat sayo ang ginawa mo sakin?! I know I made a mistake! I admit it a hundred times, I tried explaining everything to you but you didn't believe me!” Pakiramdam niya ay nabiyak ng ilang piraso ang puso niya sa sobrang sakit. He did everything just to make Thanatos believe in him again, but he failed. Thanatos was blinded with fury and anger, everytime Thanatos stares at him, it feel like Thanatos is disgusted by him. That's hurt more than they could know.

“Hindi ka nakakaawang tignan, Kamden. Do you think you can fool a man like me? Napaka-drama mo talaga at siguro inaakala mong madadaan mo ako sa ganyang eksena.” Walang emosyong sabi ng binata.

Kamden felt suffocated nahulog ng ilang butil ng luha sa mga mata niya. “You are disgusting guy, Kamden Salvorte and Anthony... h-he already marked you. You were touched and pleasure by that man, that man I hate the most.” The pain in Kamden heart is too much. The pain of knowing that Thanatos has already changed  and the pain he is throwing to him. That just too much.

“How dare you! I am not a disgusting man Thanatos! I am innocent—”

Thanatos laughed. “Innocent now, aye? Behind that innocent face of yours there is always a wild side.”

Mr. Kang interrupted. “Please your grace, I begged you. Bring us no harm and no suffering, let Kamden have his property back and I will pay you in no time. I promise.” Lumuluhod sa harap ang manager niya na mas lalo lang nagbibigay sakit sa puso niya.

Kamden took a deep breath at sinintabi ang iniisip niya. He must have his property back. His precious company.

General Moon heard every words, witness every scenes but he didn't interrupted knowing that his majesty is in a danger zone right now. Those two visitors will surely be in pain and will put themselves in troubles.

Instead of staying in the room, General Moon left the room without saying a word to his majesty. They need their own privacy and he understood his job well.

Mr. Kang didn't stop from begging and pleasing Thanatos unlike Kamden who is now thinking a way to get back what is his.

“I'll do anything you say.” Matapang niyang sinalubong ang makamandang at nakakatakot na titig ni Thanatos. He wasn't thinking straight right now, he wanted to help his manager to free their Salvorte Group from Thanatos hand. After all Thanatos is a powerful man kaya nitong makuha ang gusto niya. Kamden gritted his teeth while glaring at that man. “Kamden! what are you doing?!” Manager Kang hissed.

He looked at him, nakaluhod ito sa harap ni Thanatos at nagmamakaawang tulungan sila. “Ican handle this, manager Kang.” Aniya at lumapit sa lalaking nakangisi ngayon. He wanted to punch his face from looking at him like that nakuha pa nitong ngumiti matapos silang ilagay sa ganitong sitwasyon. Tinulungan muna niya ang manager niya. Nilapitan niya muli si Mr. Kang.

Kamden helped his manager to get up. Nang makatayo na si Manager Kang he faced Thanatos who is now staring at them-- waiting for them to beg. To please him. “You heard me. I'll do anything you say and you'll help us.” He said.

“Kamden...”

He glanced at manager Kang who is now terrifying. Scared even. “I will handle this, trust me.” He paused. “Just wait outside.” He added.

Tumingin muna ito kay Thanatos bago nilisan ang office room. Then Kamden walked towards him and offered him a deal-- A deal that could actually put him into something danger. But he leave him no choice, “Your body is included, right?” Nag-angat ng tingin si Kamden sa binata— he was beyond shocked and didn't expect him to say that-- he was more expecting him to help them. After what he have said to them? to him?! Matapos siya nitong tawaging disgusting at whore!? “W-what?” Nauutal niyang sabi.

Thanatos eyes filled with fire. “You said you'll do anything I say and I believe your body is included.” His voice sound husky and sleepy. Kamden stepped back and looked down-- do I have a choice? I have a plenty of choice but he knows that he'll fail because he facing the most powerful and wealtheist man.

“Y-yes...” He said while gritted his teeth.

Naupo si Thanatos sa sofa at pinagkatitigan siya saka sinilyasan itong tumayo sa harap niya. Without saying a word Kamden walked closer to him-- ngayong nakatayo na siya sa harap nito unti-unti siyang napayuko para itago ang nahihiya niyang mukha he can't believe himself after what they have been through nauwi siya sa pagmamakaawa rito. He is not the Thanatos Goivonni he used to know maraming nagbago ngayon sa binata the Thanatos he knew back then was ready to help him without asking his permission or what so ever. Talagang tutulungan siya nito nang walang kapalit, but now? He changed.

“You will help me.” He wasn't asking but demanding.

Thanatos sighed. “I haven't agreed yet.” He said in a cold voice.

“I-I k—know... What do you want me to do?” His hands were started shaking as if Thanatos already did something unpleasant to him.

He grinned wickedly. “I've always waited for this.”

His whole body tremble in feared. “W-what d-do y-ou want me to do, my lord.” He bowed his head, sign of respect to emperor of Imperial city of Greece.

Thanatos smirked. “Kneel.” He demanded.

He obliged, lumuhod siya sa harapan nito kung saan nakaupo ang binata hindi naman niya mapigilang hindi maiyak sa ipapagawa sa kaniya. Natatakot siya pero ano pa nga ba ang magagawa niya? Kung aatras siya sa napagusapan nila paniguradong magiging impeyerno ang buhay niya, he will have to obey the emperor in order to get what he wants. Without any warning Thanatos grabbed a handful of his hair making him groaned in pain. “If you really want me to help you,” he lean forward to whisper something in his ear. “Don't you fucking cry in front of me.” Matatalim ang bawat salita nito na para bang tumutusuk sa puso niya at nasasaktan siya, mas lalong humigpit ang pagkakadamput nito sa buhok niya na siya namang nagpaiyak sa kaniya ng lalo.

Kamden tears fall from his eyes. “Did you hear me?!” Thanatos shouted as he gripped his hair way harder, pakiramdam niya ay mawawalan na siya ng buhok dahil sa sobrang higpit ng hawak ni Thanatos don.

He stopped himself from sobbing. But that wasn't enough. “Y-yes, m-my l-lord.” Nanginginig niyang sabi.

Thanatos let go of his hair and lean his back on the back of the sofa. “Let's see if you're wiling to help your freaking company.” He stared at Kamden. “Tignan ko lang kung gaano ka eksperto kay Anthony kompara sakin.” Anito.

He looked at Thanatos who is now staring at him like a beasty ready to eat his prey.  “I-I'm willing, my lord.” Masakit para sa kaniya ito.

That made Thanatos jaw tightened. “You really don't think ha, basta-basta kanalang sumasagot. Well,” he paused and grinned wickedly. “Satisfy me.” Nagulat nalang si Kamden nang i-unzipped ni Thanatos ang denims pants nito at marahas na hinuli ang panga niya. “Let's see how good your tongue.” Nakangising sabi nito, Kamden feared him.

Thanatos turned out to be a beast.

He is not the Thanatos who he used to know, he is not the Sweet Thanatos he knew before.

Kamden cried silently as he placed his hands on Thanatos legs, his hands were shaking and his knees trembled. He sobbed when Thanatos harshly grabbed his jaw. He gasped in shock and whimpered in pain. “T-Thanatos—”

Thanatos jaw clenched. “I said no crying, right?”

Matapang na sinalubong ni Kamden ang nakakatakot niyang titig, he then, wiped his tears away and Thanatos let go of his jaw. “What are you waiting for?” He happened to look at Thanatos gorgeous face. “Satisfy me.”

His heart is beating so darn fast as he saw Thanatos sharp-- harden. Napalunok si Kamden nang makita kung gaano kahaba iyon. “Will y-you h-help me if i-- i did what you said me to do?” Kamden asked him first.

Thanatos stared at him. “Only if you satisfied me.” He answered.

Kamden closed his eyes as he entered his sharp inside his mouth.

He is now in the hand of the beast.

TURN out, Kamden was the one who suffered, after what he did— what Thanatod commanded him to do and what Thanatos have done to him. He was left in the room— naked and exhausted. He was laying on the floor in a fetal position, looking at the huge glass window, madilim ang silid at tanging ang liwanag ng buwan ang sumisilip sa bintanang iyon at ang tanging umiilaw da silid.

Basang basa ng luha ang pisngi niya sa kakaiyak, yakap niya ang katawan niya at halos hindi na makahinga sa kakahagulgul. Thanatos lied to him, he wasn't gonna help him at all. In fact he did that to trick him, ang sabi nga nito kanina  bago siya iniwan sa silid, ‘Now you feel what it feels like to be betrayed.’

Kamden cried. Hindi niya kayang sumigaw, hindi niya maigalaw ang katawan niya. Nanghihina siya.

Gustong gusto niyang sumigaw ng malakas, suntokin ang pader hanggang sa dumugo ang kamao niya, gusto niyang saktan ang sarili niya, gusto niyang alisin ang lahat ng markang nasa katawan niya ngayon.

Pakiramdam niya ay napakarumi niyang tao. Thanatos called him whore and slut, a gold-digger and a money taker. Lahat lahat nalang ay tinawag sa kaniya. It hurts more than they could know.

All he wanted was to make Thanatos love him. To be with him. To finally find someone who can accept him.

But Anthony ruined that. That motherfucker who raped him, that bastard who tortured him, that asshole who threatened him. The man who caused his pain and agony, the man who ruin his happines and relationship with Thanatos... and That man is Anthony Baratheon.

Maraming ng nawala sa kaniya, una ang kaniyang Ina, pangalawa ang kaniyang Ama, pangatlo ang kasintahan niya... and what worst... he lost himself in the middle of darkness itself.

He was indeed a messed up man.

He was abandoned.

He was used like a toy.

Now... he is like a tools to them that they can easily get and use.

I am Kamden Salvorte... and taming the beast has just begun.
