Basil brought Irish to his Condo Unit where he’s staying. When they got there two of his men waiting for them holding their luggage bags. It’s Alex and Cufer. Basil drag her to his room and throw her in the bed. Irish gave him a death glare for the dragging her the whole time.
He throwed a white floral dress to her. “Change your clothes.” He said as he eased the necktie of his suit.
Irish glared at him, “Hindi ako sasama sa’yo Mr.—whatever is your name. (I’m not coming with you Mr.—whatever is your name.) We’re not married!” she snorted and take-off her ring.
“Put it back,” he ordered.
She laughed sarcastic, “Ayoko. (I don’t want to.) Here’s your ring!” She throwed it to him. “I’m out.”
She stood up and about to walk when Basil held her arm tightly. Their eyes met.
“You’ll do what I say whether you like it or not. You are already my wife,” he said pressing her arm.
“O-ouch! Nasasaktan ako, (It’s hurt,)” she said in pain trying to release her arm to him.
He released her. “Are you wearing back your ring or I will cut off your fingers? You choose love.”
“Fine! Bwiset na ‘to. (Damn this.)” She gets her ring and wear it back. “Masaya ka na? (Are you happy?)”
“Tsk. Start changing. I’ll wait you outside.” he said and leave her in the room.
“Bwesit! (Damn it!)” she shouted as he left her alone.
She stopped when she saw the telephone in the table beside of the bed. She run and lock the door. She immediately dialed the number of the Police Station she remembered.
“Hello please help me. I’d been kidnapped by a man. Where are in the **** Condo. Parang awa niyo na tulungan niyo ako. (I’m begging you please help me.) Huhuhu,” she said without pausing in the telephone acted like she’s crying and put the line off.
She run towards the bathroom to changed. She needs to fix herself before the Police came. For sure they won’t believe her if they saw her wearing a wedding gown. She looked herself in the mirror. The white floral dress fitted her. In-fairness that man has a good taste, she thought and goes out in the room.
Basil raised his eyebrow when he saw her in the dress he gave. Irish just rolled her eyes to him and suddenly—someone doorbell in his unit. His men pulled out their guns and Basil ordered them to look who is it.
“What are you smiling there?” he asked as he caught Irish grinning.
She shook her head. “Nothing.”
“Boss may mga pulis sa labas, (Boss there are police outside,)” said Alex.
Basil glared at her. “Did I told you not to do anything stupid?” He asked and walk towards the door.
Basil opened the door and there are four police officers in front of him. They were taken aback seeing him. When Irish saw it was the police she run quickly and pushed Basil as she gets in the door.
“Thanks God you’re here. Tulungan niyo ako. Pinipilit niya akong sumama sa kanya, (Help me. He was forcing me to come with him,)” she begged holding their hands.
Basil grimaced and pulled out his Double Barrel Pistol inside of his suit. The four police saw him and he immediately pull Irish to him.
“Ibaba mo ang baril mo ngayon din, Basil! (Put down your gun now, Basil!)” one of them ordered.
They knew this man? Irish wondered in her mind. They are now pointing their guns to Basil and they step inside. As the two police saw Alex and Cufer holding a gun pointing at them they pointed their guns too.
“Ibaba niyo ang mga baril niyo ngayon din! (Put down all your guns now!)”
“Pakawalan mo ang babae kung hindi ay mapipilitan kaming barilin ka! (Free her or we will force to shoot you!)”
“S-sir tulungan niyo ako ayoko pa mamatay, (S-sir hel me I don’t want to die,)” she begged while Basil holding her waist tight.
“Tsk,” Basil suddenly shot them in their heads.
He released Irish as the four Police fell on the floor bleeding.
“Oh my gosh! Pi-pinatay mo sila, (You killed them,)” said Irish in shocked.
“That’s will gonna happen if you do any stupidity again,” he said at her back, “Besides I can’t kill you so they paid what you have done.”
Irish didn’t speak and still in shocked. She swallowed three times after hearing what Basil told her. So, this is all my fault? she asked in her mind looking at the bodies.
Alex and Cufer start cleaning the bodies. They putted them inside the bathroom and mop the blood in the floor. After cleaning, it seems nothing happened.
Basil suddenly showed up in front of her and put a packing tape in her mouth. Her eyes winded and she’s about to take it off when one of his men tie her hand using the packing tape.
“What are you doing?” she tried to ask but her mouth shut with the packing tape.
“Where is the bag?” Basil asked to his man.
Alex get the bag putting it on the floor and Basil carried Irish to put her inside. The bag is a human size that’s why she fits there. Irish was about to stood up but Basil closed the zipper of the bag.
“Let’s go,” Basil said and carry the bag to his back where Irish is.
Basil stopped for a second when Irish is annoying him inside.
“I will shoot you to your head if you’ll not stop moving,” he threatened her and she stopped.
Basil eyed his men to go out first and they start pulling their luggage bags in the floor. They are now walking towards the elevator. When they got in the ground floor, they found their car not far away from them. As they get inside, he put Irish beside him in the backseat. She is not moving inside feeling scared after threatening her. He might shoot her next like what happened to the four police.
They are now heading back in the Ancestral Mansion which entitled to Basil. When they arrived, Della the only maid and his other men greeted them. He just ignored them and continued walking carrying the bag where is Irish. She gave him a glare when Basil open the bag. He takes the packing tape to her mouth and cut the packing tape to her hand.
“Walang hiya ka! Bakit mo ako ipinasok sa loob? Alam mo bang mahirap huminga sa loob?! (How dare you! Why did you put me inside? Do you know it’s hard to breath in there?!)” she snorted and hit his chest.
“I just punished you for calling the cops,” he said mildly and take off his coat.
Irish is about to speak when she realized the place where they are. The style of his room is an old class like she’s travelled back in the past. He never does any renovation to the Mansion since it entitled to him. It remained as what it look-like when his Ancestral are still alive.
“Get some sleep. I’m going to sleep,” he said unbuttoning his polo.
Her forehead knotted on what he said. I thought he will do something tonight? she wondered and curious what it is. When her eyes land in Basil’s half naked body she suddenly turned her back. She can feel her cheeks are burning.
“W-where is my room?” she stammered asking him.
“This.”
Her forehead knotted. “And where is your room?”
“Here.”
Her eyes widened and face him quickly but after realizing that he’s half naked in front of her she diverted her eyes to somewhere.
“N-no. It’s a big, big no! Hindi ako matutulog kasama mo. Baka mamaya rapen mo pa ako dito, (I’m not going to sleep with you. You might rape me here,)” she demanded and cross her arms.
He raised his eyebrow steeping forward from her. “What’s wrong if I’m going to rape you?”
“H-hoy huwag ka nga lumapit, (H-hey don’t come near me,)” she stammered as she stepped backward.
Basil didn’t mind to hear her and continued walking towards her until he cornered Irish in the wall.
“Lu-lumayo ka nga! (Go away!)” she snorted and her toes start shaking in nervous.
She’s about to push him when Basil grabbed her hands and put it in her top. Oh my gosh! What is he going to do with me? she asked nervously in her mind.
He grinned, “You already my wife Irish.”
Basil lingering his finger to her face while his other hand is holding her hands at the top. He was touching every part of it from the eyes till he stopped in her thin crimson lips. Irish’s heart pound and pound like she is going to explode in so much nervous on what he might do to her.
“I can do whatever I want to do with you,” he whispered.
His hand is now going down to her neck and he grinned as his finger felt how she swallowed. He continued what he’s doing until he reached the button of her dress. He can feel her chest breathing in nervous.
“Besides its our honey moon right?” he asked.
Irish’s eyes widened. What honeymoon is her talking about? No! No! she panicked in her mind. She suddenly held her breath when Basil start unbuttoning the dress she wore.
“We can make love right no—”
“No!”
As Irish escaped in his hands, she immediately pushed him away. Basil glared at her and she do the same on him.
“Walang honey moon na mangyayari sa atin! Naiintindihan mo? O baka gusto mong englishin ko pa? (There will be no honeymoon that will happen! Understand? Or you might want me to translate it in English?) There will be no honey moon that will happen! In your f*****g dreams!” she said without gasping an air.
He hissed and throw his self in the bed. “You can take the other rooms outside just choose.”
He ended their topic. Irish was about to speak again when she saw his eyes already closed. He’s like one of the ancient Greek Gods sleeping on his bed. Everything in him is well mold from bottom to the top. Even you are the most handsome man in the world, your attitude is f*****g turn-off. Damn you! she said in her mind and walked towards the doorway with heavy footstep.
When Irish came out, she stopped seeing the rooms that are almost ten as she counted it. Her eyes winded and she don’t know how she’ll going to choose a room for her. All of a sudden, she looked at her right side when someone is coming. It’s Della the only maid in the ancestral mansion. In her guessed they are just the in the same age.
“Hey!” Irish called her.
Della pointed herself to make sure if she’s the one she is pertaining of. Irish nodded at her and she walk towards her.
“P’wedeng magpatulong? (Can you help me?)” Irish asked her.
Della’s forehead knotted. “Pardon me, kyria mou (my lady) English only please.”
She cleared her throat first. “Okay. Um... Can you help me to choose my room?” she asked her.
“Room?” Della asked to make sure if she heard correctly.
“Yeah room like this, for me.” She pointed the room of Basil and pointed herself.
The maid nodded. “Come.”
Irish followed her as she walked. Della gets the keys inside her pocket and open all the room for her to choose. She doesn’t know what room she wanted that’s why she unlocked all the rooms.
“You choose kyria mou,” Della gave her the privelage.
“Okay?”
Irish start to walk room by room while Della is on her back following. After seeing all the ten rooms she chose the fifth room which is colored in white. Same with Basil’s room it’s also an old class design like an ancient Goddesses owned it before. Everything inside is all in a plain white color, no other than but white. She just chose the fifth room since it was a little bit different in other rooms which is too old class for her.
“I’ll take this room. Thank you,” she said.
“Parakalo kyria mou. (You’re welcome my lady.)” Della said in her own language which is Greek.
“Okay? You’re weird. I can’t understand you also,” she grimaced.
Della chuckled, “I said, you’re welcome my lady.”
Irish nodded when she finally understood it. Pfft. Why can’t she talk in English so we can understand each other? she thought and smiled to her.
“Hehehe. By the way may I know your name?” Irish asked her.
“Della kyria mou, (My lady,)” she replied.
“Okay. Thank you again, Della.”
Della replied a nod before leaving her in the room she chosen. Irish step inside the room and closed the door. She throwed herself in the bed and closed her eyes because of tiredness till she fell asleep without noticing.
“Kyria mou (my lady) wake up.”
She slowly opened her eyes when she heard a distinct voice. She blinked her eyes when she saw Della standing her side.
“Della?”
“The dinner is ready kyria mou, (my lady)” Della said calmly.
“What time is it?” Irish asked as she closed her eyes again.
“It’s already 9:00 p.m. kyria mou. (my lady)”
“Ugh. I don’t want to eat. I want to sleep.” She lied her face down to the bed.
“But thee mou (my lord) is waiting for you downstairs. He’ll get mad kyria mou, (my lady,)” Della suddenly feel scared.
“I don’t care, just tell him that I’m sleeping,” she said and back to her sleep.
Della bitted her lower lips and let out a sighed before going out to her room. When she got back to the dining area—Basil’s eyebrow arched when she saw her without Irish.
“Where is she?” He’s playing the wine glass to his hand.
“Thee mou (My lord) she back to her sleep,” she answered trembling.
Basil place back the wine glass to the table. He stood up and look at Della’s direction. She bowed her head seeing his death glares.
“Keep all the food. I’m not going to eat.” He left her in the dining area.
Irish is in the middle of her sleep when he heard a distinct voice coming outside of her room. She stood up in her half-close eye walking at the doorway. He can hear it and seems it was Basil who is shouting in anger. It’s in the middle of the night for sake! He’s disturbing my sleep! she irritably said in her mind and go out to her room out of curiosity. She can still hear his voice and she followed it. It’s not from his room. She continued walking till the voice brought her in a staircase going upstairs. She didn’t notice it when Della is unlocking all the room lately.
“Who f*****g use all the narcotics?!” Basil’s voice burst out in anger.
The door left opened a little and Irish slowly push the door to see what is inside. She saw Basil holding a Double Barrel Pistol facing his men. Her eyes widened seeing three dead bodies in the floor bathing their own blood.
“Oh my gosh,” she whispered.
“My order is to deliver the narcotics to Mr. Chao. What the hell just happened? One of you used my f*****g narcotics!” he snorted and shoot another one man in front of him.
Basil is running the second largest syndicate in the world. He has been accused by the Feds of weapons trafficking, contract murders and drug trafficking. He was able to avoid prison multiple times because of his influence but there’s people who can’t be blind of his money. The Feds named him as the most dangerous man on the Ten Most Wanted List. He’s in the second rank followed by Niklaus Pivledis, his enemy. Basil is raking P1.5 000,000 a day from his narcotics business. Everyday he’s sending his men to deliver his narcotics in other syndicate and businesses who negotiated with him. He’s selling drugs but he’s not a user, only his men.
He burst out in anger after knowing that his men failed to deliver his narcotics. The one million that should be in his hands at the moment suddenly gone because of his men. He knew some of his men are using secretly his narcotics. Some of them are in drugs and he’s sure they did it again to satisfied their selves but Basil is not satisfied tonight because the P1 000,000 is gone. Mr. Chao already turned off their deal.
“No one will talk?” he asked them.
All of a sudden, they all kneeled in front of him.
“Boss patawarin mo kami. Hindi namin natiis at ginamit naming yung dapat kay Mr. Chao. (Boss forgive us. We didn’t endure for taking that is for Mr. Chao.)”
“Natukso kaming gamitin. Boss patawarin mo kami. (We just tempted. Boss forgive us.)”
“Hindi na naming uulitin. Hindi na mauulit Boss bigyan mo pa kami ng isang pagkakataon. (We will not do it again. It will never happen again Boss just give us a chance.)”
“Yeah it will never gonna happen again. This will be the last time that I’ll face stupid people,” he said mildly and in just a second he shot them on their heads.
Irish unconsciously fell off in the floor after witnessing what Basil did to his men. Her eyes winded when she saw Basil is looking at her direction. He was surely seeing her right now and she run quickly downstairs. Oh my gosh! He’s a f*****g killer and what the narcotics? He’s a f*****g drug lord also! she said in her mind while running back to her room.
As Irish got to her room, she was about to close the door when Basil hold it and open the door slowly that made a sound creaky like in the horror movies. She suddenly fell on the floor in shocked. He’ll going to kill me! she said panicking in her mind.
“Parang awa mo na huwag mo akong papatayin. Wala akong nakita na may pinatay ka! (I’m begging you don’t kill me. I never saw anything that you kill your men!)” she begged closing her eyes.
“Who told you to go up there?” he asked.
“Wala! Naririnig kitang sumisigaw kaya napunta ako roon. (No one! I just heard you are shouting in anger that’s why end up there.)” She answered without opening her eyes.
“You are not allowed to go there. Do you understand?”
She opened her eyes. “W-why I’m not—”
“Do you understand?” he repeated emphasizing the words.
“Oo! (Yes!)” she snorted.
“Good. Go back to your sleep,” he ordered and leave in her room.
Irish left in the room jaw dropping unbelievably that she is still alive. She thought he will gonna kill her because of witnessing his crime. Or he will might kill me tomorrow? she thought and run quickly in the bed hiding under the blanket. What did you enter Irish? Your parents are crazy for selling you in the drug lord! she said in her mind and didn’t notice the thoughts made her fell asleep.
