The Possessive Psychopath

Chapter 38

"Nikos, what the fuck are you taking about?" Raven asked. Naglakad naman kaming apat papunta sa kanilang pwesto.

"Kung gusto niyong matulog dito sa labas, then you don't have to participate." Kibit balikat na sabi ng pinsan ko na parang hindi big deal ang sinasabi niya. Everyone groan including me.

"Only six individuals will sleep inside the hotel and another six here outside, bahala na kayong lamigin." Nikos said while laughing.

"No," we all said. I didn't travel here for almost five hours just to sleep outside. Ngayon pa naman ay ineexpect ko na makakapagpahinga ako sa loob, comfortably.

"Yes. So stop complaining, this is your fault for letting me arrange this vacation for all of us." Nikos looked smug, taking pride in his ideas.

"This so-called vacation of yours Nikos is getting out of hand." Kalev said. Na parang pati siya ay ayaw sa iniisip ni Nikos.

"Calm down, guys. It will be fun, I promise." He muttered while looking at us.

"Remind me to kick Nikos' ass later." Bulong ko kay Reeve na ngayon ay tumatawa sa tabi ko.

"I think he's kinda cute," Reeve said. Oh no, this girl is badly smitten with my cousin. Nikos? Cute? Give me a goddamn break. That man is so a manipulative jerk.

"Besides, you can win a lot of prizes when you join the games that I will prepare." Nikos said trying to console everyone. Kahit si Hiro at Cainn ay napapailing na rin sa binabalak ni Nikos.

"Then what's the prizes?" Tanong ko sa kanya. Napatingin naman si Nikos sa akin. He gave me a nod before speaking.

"Good question, witch." I scowled at Nikos for calling me a witch. He uses that endearment every time he wants to annoy me.

"What a little devil," I whispered.

"You have to win three games in order to get a free pass in the hotel and enjoy your stay there. Of course, whenever you win a game, the prizes will either be a game console, bag, shoes, and other items that are all limited edition. Take note that it was not easy for me to get all of these items." Nikos clasped his hands.

"Oh by the way, if you're gonna sleep outside, you're also going to make your own food." Another groan from everyone. That's such a hassle.

"Darn rich man." I heard Reeve say at my side. She's looking intently at his boyfriend.

"OMG!" Naagaw ni Elizabeth ang atensiyon ko nang bigla na lang siyang sumulpot sa tabi namin ni Reeve.

"I just saw what Nikos brought here. He was not kidding when he said that all of the prizes will be limited editions. He even has this necklace from The Trelawney." Elizabeth excitedly grips my shoulders. Bigla naman akong nabuhayan sa sinabi niya.

"What necklace? The red scarlet, you mean?" I asked.

"Yes!" She exclaimed.

"No way!" That red scarlet cost a lot. I mean a lot! It's not like I can't afford it, but I don't want to put my money on a necklace. But if I can have it for free, then I will earn it.

"Nikos really got us, cousin. He made sure that we're going to participate in this." Napailing na sabi ni Elizabeth. That's true. The fact that only half of us will sleep in the hotel made us want to participate in his silly games. Even the guys seem so invested right now. Mukhang wala sa amin ang gusto matulog sa labas. Who wants it? For sure na pagod ang lahat sa kanilang mga trabaho, we stayed here for us to relax, so we want to have a comfortable experience staying here.

I just can't imagine sleeping outside and making your own food. No way.

Nikos said we have to condition ourselves before we start. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin niya sinasabi kung anong gagawin namin. All I did was stretch my body in case the game will require physical strength. And when I accidentally glanced at Trevor, he is quietly sitting inside the cottage. He seems uninterested. Oh well, nothing new. Everyone knew that Trevor hates being tired. Hindi mo nga siguro mapatakbo ang isang 'yan. And I laugh at myself. We're totally opposite of each other.
