The Lost Billionaire (MBBC#9)

Melissa

.

"Reeve. . ." I shut my eyes when he kissed me. Alam kong mali ito, pero sa totoo lang ay siya lang din naman ang lalaking minahal ko.

I have never once forgotten him. I love him with the whole of me. Pero sa mga oras na iyon, ay una kong inisip si Papa, at ang sitwasyon niya. At iyon lang din ang paraan ko sa mga panahong iyon.

I tried to protect Reeve from Frank, and even now Frank has no idea who Reeve is in my life.

Ang dami kong gustong protectahan sa mga panahon na iyon, at kasama na sina Tiya Esperanza at Manong Paeng. Although Reeve was my priority, I ended up marrying Frank to save my father from everything.

Frank promise me to keep the treatment of my father and at the same time the land where Tiya Eperanza lived and Reeve. Pero sa pagdaan ng anim na buwan ay mabilis nagbago ang lahat.

Frank promised to end our marriage in six months, but that was just a big lie. He just used me for his own benefit. He used me to gain more access to his family's wealth. He used me for more against his own benefit. Mas lalong gumulo lang din ang lahat nang dumating si Madison sa buhay namin.

"I miss you, and it kills me each day, Melissa. . . I hated you and strived hard for everything. I want to see you and punish that damn husband of yours." 

Parang parusa ang halik ni Reeve sa akin pero hindi ko inalintana ito. Mabilis ang kamay niya at nahubad agad ang saplot ko.

I clung to him and wrapped my arms around him. I kissed him like how he kissed me. Wala na akong pakialam sa kung ano man ang meron ngayon, dahil katulad niya ay uhaw ako sa bawat halik at pagmamahal na ganito galing sa kanya.

"Am I still the person inside your heart, Melissa?" he hoarsely asked and stopped. 

Nasa ilong ko na ang labi niya. I took a deep breath and we stared. I could hardly answer back because my heart was pounding so hard, and my body longed for him.

"Mahal pa rin kita, Reeve, at hindi nagbabago iyon," pikit-mata ko, at ramdam ko agad ang halik niya sa labi ko.

There was no holding back, and his kisses touched my neck. It was quick, and it came down to the valley of my breast. I gasped, and he scooped me and took me to a dark place.

Naramdaman ko nalang ang malambot na kumot sa likod ko at lutang na ang buong isip ko habang pinagmamasdan siya.

There was no smile the moment he took off his clothes. He watched him watch me, and when he was ready, he came back on top of me.

"Reeve. . ." I moaned as I freely massaged the softness of his hair.

"I miss you, Melissa. I've been dreaming of having you like this every night. I never once think of anyone else than you," he whispered while kissing me.

It was ravish and like a tide where my emotion was being swept away by the waves. Sadyang nakalimutan ko ang lahat at pareho kaming uhaw sa pagnanasa na ito.

There is more to this need, and I know that. I was never intimate to Frank. Isa iyon sa napagkasunduan namin simula nang maikasal kami.

I was being a good wife to him in public and to his parents. There was never an issue for me if he will see his lover.

May mahal din naman siyang iba, at nagkataon lang na hindi nagustuhan ito ng mga magulang niya. She's friendly, and we are casual. She knows that setup, and whenever Frank goes on for a business holiday, they meet there in secret.

"I miss you too, Reeve. There was no other man after you. Frank and I were never intimate. We only married for a condition. I'm sorry. . ." Pumatak na ang luha ko at nahinto siyang saglit sa paghalik sa dibdib ko. Tinitigan niya ako sa mata at nagtagpo ang kilay niya.

"Damn, Melissa. What the hell is happening with you?"

Hinaplos ko ang mukha niya at pilit ang ginawa kong pag-ngiti. Gusto ko pa sanang magsalita, pero muli niyang inangkin ang labi ko at naging abala ang kamay niya sa ibabang bahagi ko.

"I don't fucking care anymore, Melissa. I want to have you back, babe. I want my Melissa for myself."

"Oh, Reeve. . ." I gasped again when he kissed me non-stop. 

It never ends with kissing as he ravishes the hell out of me.

"This is what I wanted to do the moment I saw you. I want to kiss you in front of everyone. I want to fucking own you in front of that bastard," he groaned and bite my ear. 

"Ah! Reeve!" Parang parusa ang pagpasok niya at nakatitig ang mga mata niya sa akin. Pumikit ako at mahigpit ang hawak ko sa leeg niya. Pero iba si Reeve, gusto niyang nakikita ang bawat ekspresyon ko sa mukha sa bawat indayog niya.

He came to love me and I know I can't defend myself to this. Matatalo lang ako, dahil alam kong pag-aari parin niya ako. Frank can control me because of my father's needs. But I don't care anymore. Tapos na ako sa lahat. Tama na sa akin ang taas ng paghihirap ko. At sa ngayon ay gusto ko munang isipin ang sarili ko.

Napakagat ko ang pang-ibabang labi nang makailang beses ang ginawang pagpasok niya. Masakit ito, pero masarap at gustong-gusto ko pa.

Somehow, there's something that change about our love making. Dahil siguro sa sabik kami sa isa't-isa, at dahil narin siguro sa pagbabago ng lahat sa kanya.

He is no longer the nobody Reeve because I know he possesses the power of what he had become.

"Fuck, Mel. I love you. I want you. I will be punished by the heavens for this. But fucking dammit. I have you first." Lakas na indayog niya at kapit ko sa bisig niya. 

I felt my world shaking, and my body rocked in rhythm. His mouth came tasting and nipping my nipple before he close over and sucked it hard.

I screamed of pleasure and he kissed me hard to shut my mouth. Hindi ko na tuloy alam kung anong klaseng langit ito. Pero bahala na, dahil si Reeve naman ang kasama ko.

---

IT WAS dark when I open my eyes. The only light inside the room was the light from the bedside table. Napatingin agad ako sa tabi, at wala si Reeve sa tabi ko. Napaupo ako, at naramdaman ko ang sakit sa katawan.

I can't remember how often we did it, but it was more than enough until our bodies gave up.

Tumayo ako at sinuot ang damit sa katawan ko. Ang cellphone ko agad ang kinuha ko sa loob ng bag at bumagsak lang ang balikat ko nang mabasa ko ang mensahi ni Frank. 

Bahagya akong natawa sa sarili, dahil sa regalo na ibibigay niya pagkabalik niya galing sa business trip.

"Tsk, useless, bastard," I bitterly uttered and composed myself. 

Naisip ko si Madison. Kumain na kaya siya? Hindi man lang nag message si Dianne. Okay lang siguro ang lahat sa kanila.

Binuksan ko ang pinto at ang malaking studio painting na ito. Amoy ko ang bawat amoy ng mga paintings na patapos pa lang, at kasama na ang painting na dapat sana ay tinatapos ko. Pero hindi ko nagawa kanina, dahil iba ang ginagawa namin ni Reeve.

Napayuko akong bahagya at huminga nang malalim. Kinuha ko ang brush sa gilid at nag simulang pinturahan ang hindi ko pa natapos. Tahimik ang paligid, at hindi ko alam kung nasaan si Reeve. Wala siya sa tabi ko nang magising ako, at siguro ay umalis na. . . Iniwan na ako rito.

It's all right. If this is how it should be, then I have no regrets with me.
