Virgin Villain (The Villain Series 2)

Kabanata 41

A SHATTERED glass rang the silent room. Nevar, who was just sitting on his swivel chair beside the window, was no longer able to hide his frown. He gazed at his cousin who had been walking back and forth, restless for this plan.

"Stop destroying things in my room."

Napatigil naman si Drake at nilingon siya. "Your room?" Tinuro nito ang kisame na may malaking butas. "Itong sira-sirang bahay ay kuwarto mo? Nahihibang ka na ba?"

There was no denying that the room they were in was that of the abandoned. No electricity and the light passing through the window was the only thing that kept his vision entertained in the disheveled room. What he was just curious about was how the vintage wallpaper on the walls was torn in the shape of claws. The two couches were massacred with scratches too.

He slid his gaze down to see the table below him. He also couldn't explain if the red thick streak was just paint or real blood.

He sighed. "We have no place to complain. This is the perfect place to scare them."

"You can just find other places! You have the money!"

Tama nga naman si Drake. Puwede naman siyang humanap ng ibang lugar. Puwedeng siya ang magdesisyon, subalit hindi niya rin mawari kung bakit pumayag siya sa kagustuhan ng lalaking lumapit sa kanila no'ng nakaraan sa hospital. 

Siguro ay dahil may hawak itong bagay na hindi niya pa alam.

"This is a deal, Drake. Sasabihin niya sa atin ang nalalaman niya tungkol sa kanila kapag pumayag tayo sa gusto niya."

"Since when did you become like an obedient dog?" Lumapit ito sa kaniya at hinampas ang kamay sa lamesa. "Gagawin mo talaga 'to para lang sa ex mong may asawa na?"

Kaagad na nagsalubong ang kaniyang mga kilay sa sinabi nito. "How about you? You are here too. If you have just been so careful, we wouldn't have to take these measures."

Natahimik naman si Drake. Isa sa rason kung bakit hindi ito mapakali ay dahil sa magnanakaw na kinuha ang mga tinatago nitong tape. Pero wala pang isang segundo ay nakabawi kaagad ito. "Don't make it as an excuse! I know we will end up here eventually!"

Tumayo siya sa pagkakaupo at pinantayan ang mga titig nito. "It's not part of my plan to kidnap people. I was just supposed to blackmail Jasia, but you were a careless idiot!"

"Why is the room so headed up?"

Napatigil sila sa pagtatalo at sabay na napalingon sa dumating. Ang nagmamay-ari sa bahay kung saan sila ngayon.

Kagaya ng una nilang pagkikita, isang maamong ngiti ang binigay nito. "We are allies here. We're not supposed to quarrel."

"Yeah, right," sarkastikong saad ni Drake at binaling ang atensyon sa naglalakad na lalaki. "Where are they? Kanina pa kami naghihintay rito pero hindi pa rin sila dumadating!"

"Calm down." Naupo muna ito sa isa sa mga couch at marahan ding inilapag sa tabi ang hawak na envelope. He then crossed his legs before looking at them. "We are on the south of the city. It takes thirty minutes for them to arrive."

"You better not be scamming us," Drake warned.

"Why would I?" Rasheed looking at Drake innocently, pouted. "I told you, I have business with Xibel too. And look." Inabot nito ang envelope. Sumilid ang madilim nitong ngiti na minsan niya lang mamantyagan. "I got this just for you."

"What is that?" He intervened.

"A maternity test." Binuksan nito ang envelope at winagayway sa kanila ang isang papel. "Congratulations, Nevar! The little kid is not Jasia's daughter."
