Chapter Seventeen

Found

Jose was able to bring me to safety. At simula rin noon ay naging palipat-lipat din ako ng tirahan sa loob ng ilang linggo na nakaalis na ako sa mga Zachmann at nalaman ko rin galing kay Kuya Levi na pinapahanap din daw ako ng mga Rozovsky...

And then I remembered what I did back then...

I tried to contact someone from Adam's family. At minsan na rin naming napag-uusapan ang pamilya niya. Kaya hindi na rin ako nahirapan... I was able to talk to one of his relatives. At sa taong iyon sinabi ko na nanganganib ang buhay ni Adam and they should go to him now in Masbate. Kailangan nila siyang kunin sa lugar na ito and protect him para hindi na siya mapahamak.

And I remember the people who came to the resort where we were and the last time I saw Adam. Inisip ko rin na maaring ang pamilya na nga rin ni Adam iyong dumating at sinabi na rin nila sa kaniya marahil ang katotohanan...

Alam ko rin na pinapahamak ko ang pamilya ko sa ginawa ko. But at that time I only thought of Adam and how I could save him...

But just weeks later Adam found me.

I gulped and protectively shielded my arm on my stomach. It's not the time to be weak, Aeva. I have to fight him. I'll just make sure that I won't cause him too much injuries. Dapat pala ay tumakas na lang talaga ako kanina. What was I thinking? Hindi ako nag-iisip nang maayos! Damn it!

Basta talaga pagdating sa kaniya ay hindi ako nakakapag-isip nang maayos.

Inangat ko ang kamay kong may hawak na baril. And I pointed it straight at him. I'm not really good with guns. It wasn't my forte. So if he's skilled now pwede niya akong maagawan ng baril. The weapon I'm good at was knives or katanas.

Nanginig ang kamay ko habang tinututukan siya ng baril.

How can I be this vulnerable even after all the hard and torturous trainings I went through?

I thought I was numb from all the killings I did. Akala ko nga noon ay wala na akong pakiramdam. Pero bakit ngayon parang ang dami-dami ko nang nararamdaman? I felt different emotions all at once. At ang mga emosyong ito ang nagpapahamak sa akin.

Walang pag-aalinlangan na lumakad lang si Adam palapit sa kinatatayuan ko. Nanlalaki ang mga mata ko habang nakikita siyang lumalapit sa akin. "Don't come any closer—" Hindi ako agad nakapagsalita sa kilos niya. And when I was just about to warn him it was already too late.

Walang kahirap-hirap na kinuha niya lang sa nanginginig ko pa ring mga kamay ang baril na kanina ay hawak ko pa. And I think my mind just went blank.

I'm hopeless when it comes to Adam Mikolos Rozovsky.

"You can't just hide after what you did to me, Aeva...or should I call you Analia Zachmann." he said it with despise.

Hindi na nakakagulat na alam na niya pati ang totoo kong pangalan. Like I said he's a Rozovsky. And the Rozovskys are equally powerful and dangerous. Sigurado akong ginamit na niya ang kapangyarihan ng pamilya niya...

I remembered how he told me before that he did not like a part of his family's business. And I thought it wasn't impossible for him to feel that way since he's a gentle person... Ayaw niya sa magulo. Simple lang naman ang gusto ni Adam base sa pagkakakilala ko sa kaniya. Gusto niya lang ng tahimik at normal na buhay...

He's nothing like the monster I thought he would be. Dahil nasanay akong mga demonyo rin naman ang pinapatay ko kaya inisip ko na maaring ganoon din siya. But Adam was not like that. He has a gentle soul and a pure heart.

Kaya nga nagbago ang lahat simula noong makilala ko siya. At pati ako ay nabago niya...

Tuluyan na akong nanghina nang hawakan niya ako. Even though his hold wasn't anymore as gentle as before. May pagpipigil doon pero ramdam ko pa rin ang galit niya. Sana ay hindi niya ako lubusang masaktan...

"Please, Adam..." I was truly hopeless. I don't remember any instance when I ever begged someone or anyone before I met him. But now I would beg him. And I would beg anyone just for him and our unborn child...

I gulped. "Please, I'm begging you. Alam kong galit na galit ka sa akin. Niloko kita. I made you a fool. But, please. Don't kill me now..." nanghina pati ang boses ko.

Nanatili ang matalim na tingin sa akin ni Adam. He was starting to grip my arm that he held. Wala lang ito sa mga dinanas ko noon simula noong bata pa lang ako sa trainings ko at mga misyon. Pero bakit pakiramdam ko ay nasasaktan pa rin ako sa diin ng hawak sa akin ni Adam ngayon.

"I won't..."

My eyes widened and I think I saw hope as I watched his eyes no matter if it's sharply looking back at me.

Nilapit ni Adam ang mukha niya sa akin at matalim siyang bumulong sa tainga ko. "I won't just kill you."

Pagkatapos ay bahagya siyang umatras at tiningnan muli ang mukha ko para makita ang reaksyon ko. "I will not give you an easy death. Kulang 'yon para mapaghigantihan kita sa ginawa mo. I'll make sure that you'll suffer first before you die. In my hands. Because it's the only way to satisfy my loathe towards you." He gritted his teeth showing that he's not playing around at all and that he's dead serious.

"I'm Adam Mikolos Rozovsky. And you can't do what you did to a Rozovsky. I will make sure you'll pay for it." he added.

Napalunok ako habang nanlalaki pa rin ang mga matang nakatingin sa kaniya.

I feel like he's really not the Adam I used to know anymore. Dahil ang Adam na nakilala ko ay hindi magsasalita ng ganito sa akin. Tears pooled in my eyes.

His eyes widened a fraction as he was looking at my face. Pero saglit lang iyon. Agad bumalik sa pagiging marahas ang reaksyon sa mukha niya.

Biglang sinipa ni Adam ang pintuan sa likuran niya at sumarado iyon. And then the next thing he did was pushed me on the bed. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa gulat sa ginawa niya.

Ang sunod niyang ginawa ay inangkin niya na lang basta ang mga labi ko nang marahas. He claimed my lips like there was no tomorrow. He bit my lips to part and I tasted a metallic taste because of the immediate wound he inflicted on my lip. And then he pushed his tongue in and promptly explored the insides of my mouth. And tasted every corner like he never tasted my lips and mouth before.

Habang nanlalaki pa rin ang mga mata ko sa ginawa niya. He did it so fast that I did not know how to react for a while. Gulat na gulat ako sa pagiging halos bayolente na niya.

And after kissing me he just tore my clothes apart. Napahawak pa ako sa dibdib ko pero inalis niya rin ang braso kong hinarang doon at halos sirain niya lang din ang bra na suot ko. I was just wearing an oversized T-shirt and underwear a while ago. Nagmukha lang dress ang malaking shirt sa akin. And now as if in an instant he just made me all naked in front of him. Halos hindi naman ako makagalaw. I was still stunned as I looked at his dark face.

And then he pulled me on my stomach making my back face him. He positioned my knees at napatukod na lang din ang mga kamay at siko ko sa mga kumot.

With widened eyes my lips parted as I tried to look at him behind me. He gripped my ass that made my mouth part more. "Adam..." I called his name in a weak voice.

From there despite the situation we were in I knew that I will still willingly surrender myself to him without any restrictions... And only to him.

"Ah..." I moaned when I felt him entering...

At kahit pa naging marahas ang kilos niya ay parang nagustuhan ko pa rin iyon. I kept on moaning as I felt his thrusts from behind me.

Ang maliit na kama sa lumang apartment na nirerentahan ko ay sumasabay na rin sa paggalaw niya. The bed would rock with his pace as well.

Nanghihina pa ako when he changed our position. Pinahiga niya lang ako sandali sa harapan niya and held my legs up as he continued to thrust in me in my front now. Halos pumikit na ang mga mata ko pero napagmasdan ko pa ang mukha niya while he's doing me. His lips parted and he grunted as he rocked my body back and forth...

Napakapit ako sa braso ni Adam. And seeing him na mukhang nasasarapan pa rin siya sa ginagawa namin ay iyon ang nagtulak sa akin to reaching my blinding climax...

Pero hindi pa tapos sa Adam. I waited until he's finished as well. And I even came once more. Pagkatapos nang pakawalan na niya ang katawan ko ay nanghihina na ako...
