✔Snow White and the Seven Deadly Sins [Books 1&2]

QOS: VIGINTI SEX

Buong akala ni Snow ay wala nang makakapagpagulo pa sa kanyang istorya. But of course, life just has to throw another surprise at her---like it always does. At habang nakangiti sa kanila ang mangkukulam na kamuntikan na siyang patayin noon  dahil sa selos, hindi pa rin maiwasang isipin ni Snow na para bang nang-aasar sa kanya ang tadhana. 'Someone must really hate my guts up there.' Huminga siya nang malalim at ikinuyom ang mga kamay.

'Behave, Snow. You can't punch her in the face yet. Ginagawa mo ito para kay Wrath..' the sins' bride reminded herself.

Morticia smirked at them. "Well, well, well.. the deadly sins are back! But look who's bleeding to death? Poor, poor Wrath.." sinamaan niya ng tingin ang binatang inaalalayan nina Chandresh at Lust. "Nasaan na ang tapang mo ngayon? Tsk!"

Pride frowned. "Wrath was wounded by the Sword of Sorrows."

Natigilan si Morticia. Bahagya siyang nagulat sa narinig. "Sword of Sorrows? The legendary weapon of that irritating horseman?"

Tumango ang panganay. "He's unstable. Kailangan mong i-reverse ang enchantments ng espada para maghilom ang mga sugat ni Wrath."

"Just let him die. Hahaha!"

'Damn witch bitch! She's really enjoying this!' Konti na lang at mukhang mauubusan na ng pasensiya si Snow. It was understandable. She never had the patience to anything---not even in dealing with bitches like Morticia. Binalingan niya si Pride na mukhang gusto na ring sunugin nang buhay ang bruha. He adjusted his eyeglasses. A stern look on his face as his voice came out emotionless and commanding...

"Reverse the enchantments. Now."

Umirap si Morticia. "And what if I don't want to? Wala naman akong pakialam kahit mamatayan kayo ng kapatid. If anything, seeing you all dead will make me happy.." tumalikod ang bruha at akmang papasok na sa loob ng mansyon. She waved a hand back at them. An annoying smile on her bitchy lips, "Just call me for the funeral. Makikilamay na lang ako sa inyo."

"Bullshit!" Napamura na si Snow. She harshly grabbed Morticia's arm, "Stop playing games with us, you bitch! Kailangan mong tulungan si Wrath, or else---!"

"Or else what? You can't do anything, PRINCESS. Kaya't kung ako sa'yo, ititikom ko na lang ang bibig ko bago pa kita gawing palaka."

Snow White was about to punch her in the face---yes, she's itching to do that---but Pride held her back. At sa tinging ipinukol ni Pride sa kanya, alam niyang kailangan na niyang iwan ang pakikipag-negosasyon sa kanila. If Snow White suddenly attacks Morticia, she will only make things worse. Lalong hindi papayag ang bruha.

Wrath's recovery is their priority.

Napabuntong-hininga ang dalaga. 'Ano nang gagawin namin ngayon?'

Snow noticed Lust clenched his jaw. Mukhang katulad niya ay nagpipigil na lang itong sigawan ang bruha. Adoration remained calm, his violet eyes glaring at the witch before he finally spoke, "You want something from us in return.. as a payment. Right?"

Natigil sa paglalakad si Morticia. Gumuhit ang isang pilyang ngiti sa kanyang mapupulang labi. Her eyes glimmered with bad intention. Mabilis siyang humarap sa mga kasalanan. "So, you're not as stupid as you look, Adoration. That's impressive." Pagak siyang natawa at humalukipkip, "My service is not free. Kung gusto niyong mailigtas ang walang-kwenta niyong kapatid, kailangan niyo akong bayaran."

"Fine. I'll tell Greed to settle the finances---"

"Shhh!"

Mabilis na lumapit si Morticia kay Pride. She placed a finger on his lips and smirked wickedly. "Tsk! Hindi ko kailangan ng kayamanan ninyo. You can pay me with something much more valuable. Something like..." Dumako ang mga mata ng bruha sa katawan ni Pride. Her hungry eyes glanced at him up and down. Morticia giggled and traced a finger on his jawline. Lalong natuod sa kinatatayuan niya ang panganay. Pride doesn't look comfortable under her touch.
