Another Life As The Emperor's Concubine

CHAPTER 26

Nagising ako sa karamdamang may nagmamasid sa akin. Muntik na akong mapamura nang biglang sumakit ang aking ulo, hangover and their shits.

Anong klaseng inumin ba yon? Isang baso lang ay nalasing agad ako, as far as I know, malakas ang tolerance ko pagdating sa alak.

"Oh, you're awake." Sambit ng isang baritong tinig, inilibot ko ang paningin. And there I saw the very first man I loathe in this world.

Kampante syang nakaupo habang may hawak na kopita ng alak sa isang kamay. His signature emotionless look are present on his face, ngunit hindi maipagkakaila na nakakadagdag iyon ng kanyang kagwapuhan.

I glared at Luther. "Why in the fucked up world am I here?" Mariin kong tanong, kumunot ang kanyang noo.

"I'm still not used of hearing my Concubine cussing." He said.

Inirolyo ko ang aking mga mata. "I said why am I here, hindi pa ba sapat na ipinamukha ko sayong ayaw na kitang makita pa?" Nanggagalaiting sabi ko.

He take a sip from his drink before looking at me mockingly. "Said by the lady, who just barge to my palace unannounced. And the fact that she's also drunk, with a pack of apples." Unti-unting kumurba ang kakaibang ngiti sa kanyang labi na kailanmay hinding hindi ko nagustuhan.

It's seems like he's just playing a game, having fun ruining lives.

"And you just throw yourself at the lion's den, My lady. At ikinalulungkot kong sabihin, na ang leyong iyon ay hindi ka na hahayaan pang makaalis. He'll keep you forever, and you can't do anything about it." Kinagat nya ang ibabang labi upang pigilan ang umuusbong na ngiti. He's fucking enjoying it!

Galit akong tumayo at binigyan sya ng nakakamatay na titig. "I'll fucking go and get my maid. Yan naman talaga ang pakay ko, and don't you dare stop me." Malalaking hakbang ang ginawa ko papunta sa malaking pinto.

I flinched when I heard a sound of a glass breaking. Mabilis kong nilingon ang kinaroroonan ni Luther at tulad ng inaasahan, nakakalat sa sahig ang kopita ng kanyang alak, pinong-pino dahil sa pagkakabasag.

Hindi sya gumalaw mula sa kanyang pagkakaupo at nakayuko ang ulo. Hindi ako gumawa ng anumang galaw dahil sa nababalot ng tensyon ang buong kwarto.

Ang tanging naririnig ko na lang ay ang mabibigat na paghinga ni Luther, na para bang pinapakalma ang sarili.

"Aalis ka, at ano? You'll go back to my brother, Drake?" Sabi nya sa isang mahinang boses.

Hindi makapaniwalang nilingon ko sya. "Ano bang pinagsasabi mo dyan?" Inis kong saad.

"Do you like Drake? Or maybe you're already inlove with him? I fucking trusted him, because you two are friends. Tangina, sinusulot ka na pala nya mula sa akin and he even helped you escape!" He said in a dark voice.

"What? Wala syang alam tungkol sa pagtakas ko-" I stopped when I realized something. "So that's the reason why you released an order to kill your two siblings?" I can't believe that's just his reason, I mean, what the fuck?

He looks at me confusingly. "What-" Tinalikuran sya at nagsimula na akong lumakad, I need to get out of here as soon as possible.

"Walang aalis, Amara. I'm still your husband so you're fucking mine. Just mine."

I clicked my lips before facing Luther. "But you already had a child. Sa mundo kasi namin Luther, impregnating someone when you already had a 'wife' is a gravely sin. If you did that, it's just like divorcing your wife. Literally speaking, we're done."

"Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit may Concubine concubine dito eh. I mean, yes, the more the merrier but what the actual fuck? Having many Concubines will make a man look more powerful, but mistresses aren't someone to be proud of."

Nagtagis ang bagang ng Emperor. Marahas syang tumayo mula sa pagkakaupo at sumalubong sa akin ang nandidilim nyang mukha.

"I locked Zaya, the second Concubine to the Dungeon. Only giving her a piece of bread for the whole day. I throw Elena, the first Concubine to a fucking forest far from my Empire with our son." Nanggagalaiting nyang sabi.

"I fucking did that just so you could finally feel that you're the only wife I have. Ikaw lang ang kailangan ko, please understand me. Tangina naman Amara!" Marahas nyang ginulo ang buhok at inihilamos ang palad sa mukha.

Bumigat ang aking paghinga, he did all of that because of Amara? Bakit.. bakit kailangan pa nyang ipamukha na ako ang dahilan upang masira ang buhay ng dalawang Concubine. I even stole Elena's son's chance to see and to be with his father!

"But I don't want to be your wife! Kahit anong gawin mo, you can't have me." I said.

"Tell me Amara, kulang pa ba ang ginawa ko?.." Unti-unting kumurba ang ngiti sa kanyang labi. "..Do I have to kill the other Concubines too?" He said dangerously.

Kahit na sanay na ako pagdating sa salitang 'pagpatay' dahil na rin hindi ko na mabilang ang pinatay ko dati, hindi ko pa rin maiwasang kilabutan. He said those word in a straight face, na para bang hindi sya magdadalawang isip na gawin iyon.

"You're insane, Luther. I can't believe the Amara in the past loved a fucking twisted psychopath like you." I said in loathe.

Nagliyab ang kanyang mata and his jaw clenched. "Then let me show you how insane am I." Inisang hakbang nya ang pagitan namin at bago pa man ako makagalaw ay marahas na nyang nahawakan ang aking pulso.

I can't believe how fast he is!

"Let go! Ano ba, fucking let me go!" He harshly pulled me, and I'm sure as hell na namumula na ang pulso ko.

Napangiwi na lang ako sa sakit nang naramdaman ko nang tumama ang aking likod sa malambot na mattress ng kama. Napamura ako at akmang tatayo na nang mabilis nya akong daganan.

"Tangina naman Luther-" Napatigil ako nang inilapit nya ang labi sa aking tenga.

"Shhh." Paos nyang saad, nagtayuan na rin ang aking mga balahibo dahil sa sobrang lapit nya.

Hindi ako makagalaw dahil hawak ng isang kamay nya ang dalawa kong kamay at dinaganan ng kanyang binti ang aking mga paa. I felt trapped!

Masuyo nya akong tiningnan. "Just let me mark you, my Concubine." Mahina nyang saad, I could even hear his breathing.

My heart is pounding so damn hard. "Ano bang pinagsasabi mo, umalis ka nga- Hey!" I protested when he started kissing my neck.

His wet lips are traveling down to my collar bone, I can't find a word to say because the turn of events is so sudden.

"I'll fucking kill you!" Mariin kong sabi, he just chuckled then continued kissing my neck.

He groaned in protest when I moved my neck sideways, stopping him from accessing more from it. Ngunit hindi iyon naging hadlang dahil inilipat nya na naman ang halik sa kabilang banda ng aking leeg.

I tried to shout but only a small whimper came out my mouth when he started sucking it. Nakakaramdam ako ng sakit dahil sa marahas na pagsipsip.

"S-stop it." I said in a low voice, fortunately, he stopped.

Ang dating nag-aalab nyang mga mata ay mabilis na lumamlam. He touched the part on my skin where he sucked and I flinched. Nakakaramdam pa rin ako ng sakit. If only I have my dagger with me right now!

His eyes softened, marahan nyang hinaplos ang bahagi ng aking leeg na sumasakit. "I'm sorry I almost lost control. Galit lamang ako. D.. does it still hurt, baby?" May himig ng takot nyang saad.

Hindi ako sumagot bagkos ay inilingon sa ibang direksyon ang ulo. I don't want to talk to this psycho, how dare he do that without my permission!

I also felt uncomfortable to our position, hindi pa rin sya nakakaalis sa pagkakadagan.

Napatingin ako sa ginawa, I sighed in annoyance when I saw the love bites present on my skin. Hindi naman ito gaano kalaki ngunit mahahalata pa rin ng iba. How can I hide these things!

A second later, I saw how he smiled. His eyes twinkled in happiness. "The mark I made on your neck is good, starting now, you're mine, Amara. I marked you so you're fucking mine. Don't ever try to cover that, hindi mo gugustuhing magalit ako. Higit pa dito ang magagawa ko."
