Kimberly's POV

"What are you doing ?" Basta na lang naghalungkat ang lalaking tinatawag ng mga tauhan Niya ng boss sa aking drawer .

Nagkalat ang aking mga damit sa ibabaw ng aking kama. Ang iba naman ay nasa sahig. Hindi pa siya nakomporme , binuksan ang loob ng aparador at naghalungkat na naman .

Nagtataka ako kung ano ang kaniyang hinahanap sa mga damit ko.

" Here .." kinuha Niya ang Isang kulay peach na baby doll dress na naka hanger sa loob ng aparador at inihagis sa akin.

" Put this on...and hurry up it's getting dark ." He told me as he checked the time on his watch. Kinuha ang kaniyang cellphone at nag dial , he looked at me .

" What are you waiting for ?! He raised his voice . "Do you need dressing up ?" Agad siyang humakbang palapit sa akin , na napako sa gilid ng aking kama .

Napaatras naman ako at nagmamadali na pinulot ang bestida sa aking paanan . Hindi ko nasalo ng ihagis Niya ito sa akin. His blue eyes darkened as his gaze went to my butt as I bent over to pick my dress. The way he regarded me sent shivers to my spine .

Bigla Kong naramdaman na nag-iba ang kaniyang tingin sa akin . Mukhang may malalim siyang iniisio habang tinitigan ako.

" Use your head , little girl, If you are too shy to strip in front of me , then go to the bathroom and change now !" I almost ran to the bathroom .

" Yes , it's me..yeah , we're coming ." I heard him talking to his cellphone before I locked the door and quickly changed .

Oh God , what is happening to my family right now . I cry in silence. Nasaan na kaya si kuya ? Hindi ako naniniwala na ginawa Niya ang krimen na sinasabi ng kapatid ni ate Leah. Hindi ! Mabait si kuya . Siya ang bumubuhay sa aming lahat dito sa bahay . Hindi Niya magagawa ang mang rape , lalo na at sarili niyang girlfriend .

I know that he loves ate Leah. Nagmamahalan silang dalawa. Alam Kong may balak ng magpakasal sina kuya at ate . Ngunit , iniisip pa ng kuya Jeric ang aking pag-aaral .

Gusto niyang makatapos ako sa aking pag-aaral . Dalawang buwan na lang at matapos ko na rin ang senior high .

What will happen to me now? Ano kaya ang balak ng monster na ito sa akin ngayon ? Makikita ko pa kaya ang aking mga magulang?

Saan kaya sila dinala ng demonyong ito.

" Do you want me to get inside ? What took you so long?!" I panicked when he bang at the door . "I-m , coming .." I hastily said .

The baby doll dress that I'm wearing is short , but not so short . I requested this from my brother . Nang tanungin Niya ako ng uri ng damit na gusto Kong isuot sa aking kaarawan , I told him the baby doll dress . It may be short but it was a charming dress with a fitted bodice and a loose gathered skirt .

Ang reklamo lamang ni kuya sa design ng damit na ito ay maiksi at ang bahagi ng dibdib ay seksi. Mas na de -define kasi ang breast ng babae sa style na ito .

" Okay lang kuya , Long sleeve naman ..." I remember telling him .

Binili ito ni kuya nang nakaraang buwan ng Enero in which I celebrated my debut. Ang bestidang ito ang sinuot ko sa Isang simple na family dinner namin .

"You look so beautiful in that dress my little sister . You look like both a Barbie and an angel ."

I laughed at that thought . A Barbie and an angel ? Ano kaya ang hitsura noon , masyado namang perfect .

" My innocent little angel. Happy birthday Kim .." hinalikan at niyakap ako ni kuya.

Nag-uunahan na naman ang mga luha sa aking mata ng maalala ko ang sinabi ng aking kuya . " Kuya Jeric , nasaan ka na nga ba ?" I sob . With a quick glance at the mirror ,

I opened the bathroom door and stepped outside . My breath hitched when I bumped into his hard chest . Bakit naman kasi dito pa siya pumuwesto sa may pintuan . Afraid that I might escape?

The beast is quick to hold my waist as I was about to fall . He steadied my body , when I looked into his blue eyes , I meet his deathly stare , still I couldn't help but notice how those deathly blue gazed lit when his eyes reached my cleavage. The design of this dress is quite provocative yet I like this one . Para akong babae na nagmula sa royal court noong 1950's.

I brush the thought away.

Natigil ako sa pagmumuni -muni ng tinulak Niya ako . I gasped as I almost fell to the floor again, had'nt I held to his arms .

"Huwag ka kasing tatanga-tanga !" Matigas niyang sabi . Agad akong bumitaw sa kaniyang braso ng makuha ko na ang aking balanse .

"'Kung hindi ka sana nakaharang sa daraanan ko . " Naningkit ang kaniyang mga mata , he seems to strike me . Dahil sa takot ko ay nag-iba ako ng tanong.

"Bakit mo ba ako pinasuot ng damit , saan tayo pupunta?"' a sinister smile crept to the side of his lips.

" You'll know , now move out . "

"But , but ..what about my parents ." You'll see them when your brother shows up ."

"But ..but " I hesitated . "you'll see them alive if you keep your mouth shut !" He glares at me .

I followed him outside . " Alfonso , you assigned four men to stay in this place until the moron came back . " He ordered .

All throughout the ride to the city of Puerto Princesa, my mind was in daze. Ang dami-daming gumugulo sa isipan ko . Ano ang mangyayari sa akin ? Paano ang pag-aaral ko , may gagawin pa man din sana akong assignment . I looked outside the window , the tainted glass was impossible for someone to see in this car .

Sana may makakita sa akin at tulungan ako . Paano pa ako makahingi ng tulong at paano pa ako makatawag Kay kuya gayong sinira ng taong ito ang aking cellphone .

I shifted to my seat as I could feel the blue eyes once again examined my long proportion legs . He sat beside me in the back seat. The driver whom he called Ringo asked him ," Bukas pa sila boss?"

Without looking back at the driver , the boss replied

" They must be , otherwise , hindi nila magugustuhan ang gagawin ko lalo na at natawagan ko na sila."

Sa pagkakataong ito tuluyan ng dumilim ang paligid dahil sa paglaganap ng gabi .

"Alfonso , did you tell our men to watch all the borders in Palawan ?"

" Yes boss , wala ng kawala ang hayop na iyon . " Alfonso replied.

" Hindi hayop ang kapatid ko !" I raised my voice .

PAK !

HE HIT ME , The monster hit me . " Shut up ! At ano ang gusto mong itawag namin sa krimen na kaniyang ginawa ha ?"'he thundered . Nanginginig ang aking kalamnan dahil sa lakas ng kaniyang sampal .

Agad na tumulo ang aking mga luha . Impit akong umiyak . Halos mabingi ako sa lakas ng kaniyang sampal.

Natahimik ang mga nakasakay sa loob ng sasakyan

A deepening silence that I could almost hear the beating of my heart .

He's cruel .

Paano naging kapatid ni ate Leah ang demonyong lalaking ito . I despise him. I hated him so much .

" We're here .." Ringo said . Mabilis na nakapanaog ng sasakyan si Alfonso at pinagbuksan Niya kami sa back seat.

Naunang bumaba ng sasakyan ang hayop na katabi ko.

" Don't think of running away or I'll let them shoot you ." He threatened .

" Ringo shoots her if she tries to escape ." I guessed his not threatening .

" Gladly, boss.." Ringo smirked . What in god's name are these people ? Mga mamatay- tao . I almost choked a sob .

" Fix yourself and stop crying . you're such a pathetic little girl . Now , follow me ?" He commanded .

Nang mag-angat ako ng tingin ay napagtanto ko pangalan ng harapan ng building na aming kinAtayuan na building . Naguguluhan ako .

" What are we doing here in the civil registar? " I asked one in particular but no one answered .

" Ringo , stay in the car . Alfonso , come with us inside .." he said .

"Hurry up and pull yourself together , and most importantly ..keep your mouth shut ! Do you understand me .." he gritted his teeth .

I can only nod in agreement . Dahil gabi na , the hallway was long deserted by its employees . Ano ang gagawin namin dito ? Irereklamo ba Niya ang kuya ko ? Hindi naman ito police station .

This is a civil ...registry . I widened my eyes as it finally sank in . What does A civil registar do ? It receive civil registry documents for registration . Register registrable documents and judicial decress affecting the civil status of a person .

I gasped in horror! No! no ! This can't be .

" Good evening Mr .Martinez . Is this your bride to be ? Please both of you, follow me so that we can get this over with . "

The registry clerk seems to be in a hurry , noticing the click cluck of her heels as she parade back to the table which the beast motioned me to sit down .

" Signed the documents , please . "

Walang imik na kinuha ni Charles Antonio Martinez ang ballpen sa harapan at pinirmahan ang marriage certificate na inihain ng clerk sa aming harapan . I was quick to read his name on the left below , mine was on the right side .

" Your turn ma'am...I mean Miss , Mrs Martinez . " The clerk was a little confused as she look at me .she knows that I'm too young for this stuff . I almost pleaded with her to help me . But instead , she hastily offered me the pen . I sniff as I reached out the pen .

I avoided Charles Antonio gazed , because I know he was fuming mad at me now . " SIGN IT ." I almost dropped the pen when he suddenly spoke.
