The Elite Men Empire Series: Into The Dark King's Lair

Chapter 14. Busog na busog.

Morning came.

Halos hindi rin ako nakatulog kakaisip sa nangyari kagabi. Parang panaginip lang ang lahat.

Yes, i know it was natural for a man to rescue a damsel in distress.

But for him to put his arms around me like I was some fragile glass? I didn't know...

That moment, akala ko katapusan na ng pinakaiingatan kong...virtue. Akala ko mamamatay na ako. OA siguro tignan pero kahit siguro sinong tao ang nasa place ko, mapaparanoid ka ng bonggang-bongga.

That moment na akala ko katapusan ko na...pero bigla siyang dumating.

Tuluyan nang kumawala ang luha ko. Iyong pakiramdam na akala mo mamamatay ka na kasi babarilin ka na pero naka-bullet proof ka pala.

That moment na niyakap na lang niya ako basta. There was that feeling of security and ease... God knows how long I've anticipated that feeling.

I felt really safe when he did that and the words he suddenly uttered was...heavenly. Hindi ko alam kung guni-guni ko lang ba 'yon.

Hush, love... It's ok, im here.. You're safe.

It was like a love song to me. Napaka-soft ng boses niya and I was confused. Malayong-malayo sa roughness ng ugali niya na madalas niyang pinapakita sakin.

Oh I wish that was real.

Pero may isa pang bagay akong nalaman kagabi...

Nang marating namin ang Royalty Heights, I was too traumatized to talk. Pagpasok pa lang namin ay napansin kong lahat ng taong maraanan namin ay bumabati kay dark king, some even bowed.

Ganun ba siya kaimportanteng tao? Ganun na ba siya kasikat?

"I can take it from here, sir. Salamat." sabi ko finally.

Kumunot ang noo niya.

"Your unit?"

"719."

"I'll take you there, just to make sure you're fine."

"No, i-im fine. You can go now."

"I insist--"

"I-im fine---"

"Damn it, woman! I live here!"

Hindi agad ako nakahuma. I can see his jaw tightening.

Wait, what?

He suddenly grabbed my hand and led me to the elevator...a private elevator.

Halu-halong katanungan na ang nasa utak ko nang oras na 'yon. May private elevator din sa MIC. Could it be? Kailangan kong malaman.

"Why did we use this?" tanong ko sa kanya.

Hindi siya umimik pero maya-maya ay napabuntong-hininga ito at nagsalita.

"I own this place."

Ah...yeah.. The filthy rich.

That explains the bowings and greetings ng mga tao kanina sa lobby.

Hindi na ako umimik pa. I had enough trouble for one night.

Pero...

It's his lair. I work for him in his mighty throne.

I'm into the dark King's lair.

I was lured into the dark king's lair in the very first place.

Gusto kong matawa sa sarili ko. Of all people, I met this person who was capable of making my heart pound. Of all people, he is a filthy rich man whom I learned to love in the shortest period of time.
