His Sinful Desire

Chapter 3

Her heart is beating so fast and she's shaking in fear when she saw the person who caught her from falling down. Her eyes are widened and she gulped.

It's him! Is he going to kidnap me again? Did he follow me here?

Napakaraming mga tanong ang tumatakbo sa kanyang utak but she can't put it in words. Kaagad niya itong tinulak at natatarantang humakbang siya papalayo.

Cyan looked shocked but she doesn't care about that! She needs to get away from this man, fast!

Akmang tatakbo siya nang hinuli nito ang kanyang braso. Nanlaki ang kanyang mata. Cyan sighed.

"Look, I'm not Cyan, I'm Cylix." he said.

Nangunot ang kanyang noo. "How will I know that you're telling the truth?" agad niyang tanong dito. He approached her and showed her his chin.

"I have a small ass mole on my chin and--" he smiled at her and showed her his dimple "--I have a dimple." he said then let go of her.

"That's not enough evidence." sabi niya rito. She even squinted her eyes to show him that she's still doubting him. He rolled his eyes and then pulled something from his pocket—it was his wallet. He pulled a card from the wallet and showed it to her.

"This is my identification card. Do you still want me to read it to you? Cylix as in C, y, l, i,x Hernandez—" agad niyang pinutol ang pagsasalita nito. She grabbed the identification card and read it herself.

Cylix Hernandez, February 14, 1987, M.

Tinignan niya ito, Cylix rolled his eyes on her. She sighed and gave him his identification card back.

"I see you're still scared of my twin huh?" he said as he returned his id inside his wallet.

"Who wouldn't? I mean, I got kidnapped—"

"Let me stop you right there, almost."

Napatampal siya sa kanyang noo.

"Still, it won't change the fact that your twin brother ain't right in the head." she said to him. Biglang nag-iba ang aura nito from being jolly to serious. Napalunok siya bigla.

"My parents gave you s**t ton of money para makipag-areglo and my brother was even admitted into a mental facility for a decade and you're still talking s**t like that? That's funny."

Napayuko siya bigla.

"What my brother did to you was wrong and he's paying for it, we did too, remember? s**t ton of money." Nakangiti ito sa kanya ngunit kitang-kita niya sa mga mata nito ang galit at inis. She looked away again.

It's true. Cyan's parents gave her a lot of money as a settlement and even gave her a house.

"By the way, you don't have to worry about him stalking and kidnapping you again because he's already engaged with his girlfriend. I guess that'll end your worries right?" tuloy-tuloy nitong sabi sakanya.

"That's all. Nice seeing you again Miss Alice." tsaka ito umalis.

She bit her lower lip and sighed.

Pagod na pagod na umupo si Alice sa bench sa park. Three days palang simula nung dumating siya mula sa States at tambak na paperworks and projects agad ang kanyang natanggap. She's working as the Head of the Planning Department of an online company, alam niyang marami siyang trabahong matatanggap but she was totally not expecting THIS MUCH. She sighed.

She just finished fifteen thousand steps, she gained five kilos from her stay in the States and she needs to lose weight now tsaka her metabolism is getting slow that's why she needs to exercise.

She drank her water and yawned. Ito ang problema kapag napapagod siya, talagang inaantok siya.

Kaagad siyang tumayo mula sa kanyang kinauupuan. She just wants to go home and sleep!

She was about to run when a woman stopped in front of her. The woman was holding a paper on her hand and is smiling at her. She smiled back.

"Hello, I'm new to this village, do you know where the house number two two eight is? I'm kinda lost." ngumiti ito at nagkamot ng ulo. The woman has a blonde hair and has a beautiful pair of green eyes. Para itong manika.

Goodness Alice, stop being gay.

She smiled. Of course, she knows that house, doon siya tumira before she left the Philippines.

"You just turn over that block and you'll see a green house, that's the house number two two eight." turo niya rito. The woman smiled. She offered her hand to her.

"I'm Ophelia." sabi nito.

Tinanggap niya ang kamay nito.

"I'm Alice. I live in house number two two nine." she said.

Ophelia's eyes slightly widened. Mas lumapad ang ngiti nito.

"We're neighbors!"

She nodded her head. Ophelia's really cute!

"Want to go there together?" she offered.

"Oh, I'm still waiting for someone, can we wait for him? He'll be here in just a few minutes I guess."

She nodded her head. Ang cute talaga ng babaeng kanyang kaharap, hindi ito katangkaran ngunit hindi rin ito pandak, sakto lang ang height nito. Medyo matangkad lang siya ng kaunti rito.

"When will your friend arrive?" tanong niya rito.

"Oh no he's not my fri—"

"Ophelia." Naputol ang pagsasalita ni Ophelia nang may biglang tumawag dito. Napatingin silang dalawa sa direksyon kung saan nagmula ang boses ng isang lalake na tumawag kay Ophelia. Nangunot ang kanyang noo.

The man looks familiar.

"Cylix?" she whispered.

Naglalakad ito papalapit sa kanila and she noticed something as he smiled.

No dimple...

Nang makalapit ito sa kanila, hindi ito nakatingin sa kanya ngunit kay Ophelia, he's still smiling. Napatingin siya sa chin neto.

No mole...

Her eyes widened nang lumingon ito sa kanya. Nawala rin ang ngiti nito at napahawak ito kay Ophelia.

It's him...

"Babe, she's Alice, she's our neighbor." pagpapakilala ni Ophelia sa kanya kay Cyan. Cyan looked away from her.

"Alice, he's Cyan, he's my fiancee." Ophelia said as she wrapped her arms around Cyan's waist. Sa hindi niya maintindihang rason, bigla siyang nakaramdam ng inis sa ginawang iyon ni Ophelia.

"Babe! Come na! She'll show us the house!" excited nitong sabi kay Cyan. Cyan smiled at Ophelia.

"Sure."

Ikinuyom niya ang kanyang kamao. Cyan is not looking at her, nakatingin lang ito kay Ophelia and she's getting pissed. This asshole is acting like he doesn't know her, like he didn't do any s**t to her last time.

"Alice?"

Patuloy pa rin ang pagtingin niya nang masama kay Cyan.

"Alice?" Ophelia snapped her fingers in front of her face. She blinked multiple times.

What was she doing?

"Uh, yea?"

"Let's go?" aya nito sakanya. She smiled at Ophelia.

"Ya, let's go."

-*-

When they reached the house two two eight, Ophelia hugged her ngunit imbes na kiligin ay nainis siya rito.

"Thank you so much for helping us." Ophelia thanked her. She smiled at Ophelia.

"No worries."

Nakita niyang kinurot nito si Cyan.

"Say thanks to her babe."

Cyan sighed. "Thanks." he said without looking at her tsaka pumasok sa bahay nito.

She let out a sardonic laughter when the two entered their house. Ikinuyom niya ang kanyang kamao.

The asshole even has the guts to act like he's the victim. At talagang ito pa yung umiiwas ng tingin ngayon?

She raised her brow. As soon as she got into her house, she immediately pulled her phone from her pocket. She searched Gray's number and dialed it.

After a few rings, Gray finally picked up the phone.

"Yo hoe." he greeted.

"Find me a house to stay asap."

"Why?"

"Just do it, hoe." tsaka niya ito binabaan.

Ilang segundo lamang ay nag ring ang kanyang cellphone. It was Gray.

Don't tell me nakahanap agad ito?

She answered the call ngunit bigla itong nag-end. Nangunot ang kanyang noo. Then she received a message from him.

"b***h, ako dapat ang nagbababa ng call. Tangeks ka? Sabunutan ko bulbol mo."

Napatampal siya sa kanyang noo.

She wishes that Gray will find her a new house asap. She doesn't want to cross paths with Cyan ever again.

She sighed.
