Virgin Villain (The Villain Series 2)

Kabanata 39

NILAGAY ni Stone ang tape na nakuha. Hindi lang isa kundi umabot na ito sa sampu. Anong ibig sabihin nito? Ang inutos lang ni Jasia ay kunin ang recorded tape na ginawa nito kay Isabella ngunit bakit ang dami?

"Just as you requested, I've followed Drake Ignaz and watched his moves." Bahagya muna itong napadaing dulot sa sugat na nasa braso. "I thought it will be hard to find the tape, but Drake himself revealed it. He seems to be watching the tapes every night and doing something that would pleasure himself."

"What?" Napaupo pabalik si Jasia sa upuan dahil sa narinig. Ang mukha nito ay 'di na maipinta, nasusuka dahil sa narinig. "Tapes? Ibig sabihin ba marami rin siyang nabiktima?"

"Yes, miss." Nandilim ang mukha ni Stone. Ito ang unang beses na nakita niyang naging seryoso ang kaniyang alagad. "Not only that, Drake is also blackmailing other women–the same scheme he did to our creator. He is more than a disgusting man."

"And what happened to your arm?" Xibel interrupted.

"I got caught while I was eavesdropping his conversation with his other victims. I didn't know he had a gun. He shot me before I could even fully run away." Yumukod ito. "My apologies, my lord. But don't worry, nobody knows my face in this dimension, so you two will both be safe."

He massaged his nose. That wasn't the problem. It was the least of his priority for his identity to be known. If it was for that disgusting man, he would even volunteer to present himself and sent him to the afterlife.

"I know you are a man who already lost his life, but do not get hurt. You are still my follower." He snapped his fingers, letting the dark dust pour into the wounded arm of his follower until it was fully healed.

Isang maliit na ngiti ang sumilay sa bibig ng kaniyang alagad. "I'm sorry if I had you worried, my lord. I will be more careful from now on."

"Thank you, Stone," saad ni Jasia. Tiningnan nito ang mga tape. "Pero paniguradong naalarma na si Drake sa pagkawala ng tapes. I didn't expect him to be so terribly disgusting. I can't believe it."

"Now, what's next? What do you plan on doing?" He leaned against the chair. "That man is worthy of death. Why can't we just kill him?"

"That is not enough, Xibel. Mamamatay lang siya kaagad pero iyong mga nabiktima niya, ano? Naghihirap pa." Napakuyom ang mga kamao nito.

Nauunawaan niya naman ito dahil kahit siya mismo ay naghihirap pa rin sa bagay na hindi niya naman ginusto. Kahit na matagal na niyang tinanggal sa mundong buhay ang mga nagpahirap at binaboy siya, nandoon pa rin ang mga iniwan nilang marka. Ramdam na ramdam niya pa.

"I want him to rot in jail and face shame," ani ni Jasia. Hinawakan nito ang tape. "Leave this to me. I already know what to do with this. Nakausap ko na rin ang kapatid ni Ameri na isang journalist. He will help us reveal Drake's scheme into the public."

"When will that commence?" he uttered, quite impatient.

"On the day of our performance."

Kumunot naman ang kaniyang noo. "But would it not leave a disaster? Maaapektuhan ang performance niyo."

"Don't worry. Malakas ako kay monsieur." Ngumiti ito. "I'll make sure that after our performance, Drake will rot in hell."

May tinipa ito sa cell phone bago ipinakita sa kaniya. It was a recent conversation of her and her ex-boyfriend. "Nevar threatened me to spread the video if I will not return to him."

"A desperate mongrel . . . " he whispered. Mukhang hindi pa ito natuto sa kaniyang ginawa. Humans were indeed hard-headed. They always wanted to learn the hard way.
