CHAINED

CHAPTER 3

“You agreed,” the man spoke once again while he was laying there on the bed, defenseless. “to go out with me.”

Cayle stayed silent, what is there to say anyways? He knew that if he defy this guy, he’d end up dead.

Bakit ba kasi ang tanga-tanga niya? He let his guard down and trusted a man that looks kind and now here he is, being held captive.

Alam niya na magsisimula nang mag-alala ang mga magulang niya, kahit sina Yael ay magtataka na dahil hindi siya pumasok sa trabaho.

“You don’t have to worry anymore,” hinawi ng lalaki ang buhok niya at ngumiti sa kaniya. “in here, I won’t force you to do anything against your will.”

Is he stupid? Kanina lang ay pinilit siya ng lalaki na lumabas kasama ito at ngayon kung ano-anong kalokohan ang sinasabi.

He had the audacity to tell him that he won’t do something against his will? Ano ba ang ginagawa nito ngayon sa kaniya?

Cayle took a deep sigh. “Akala mo ba,” their eyes met and that was the moment that Cayle saw a scar on the guy’s forehead. “g–gusto ko ang ginagawa mo ngayon?” tanong niya rito na nanginginig dahil sa malalim na titig sa kaniya ng lalaki.

He jolted as soon as the guy went on top of him, he looked so small, he looked vulnerable while he’s on top. He could beat him up if he wanted to.

“How ‘bout this,” he saw a smirk and Cayle already knew that it was a bad sign. “Stay with me for 7 days, after that, i’ll let you go.”

He wasn’t stupid enough to fall for his silly tricks again. “How about no?” he asked him with a sarcastic tone.

“Then,” he held his waist and burried himself on his neck. “if you’ll be able not to make a sound while I lick and suck your neck, papayagan kita na tanggihan ang offer ko.”

There he is again, tempting him to be challenged. Cayle is not stupid enough to do the same mistake twice.

Accepting his challenge is as bad as letting him kiss his neck, as if he’d let him.

“I’ll accept your offer.” he spoke while the guy’s face is still burried on his neck. He could feel his breath touching his skin. “For seven days, i’ll stay with you, but, promise me one thing,” he gulped. “After seven days, you’ll let me go and act like none of this happened.” he said with a trembling voice.

Nakita ni Cayle ang ngiting gumuhit sa labi ng lalaki. Bakit ba sobrang saya nito? Ano bang meron sa kaniya na gustong-gusto nito? At bakit sa lahat ng lalaki, siya pa ang napili nito?

There’s so many questions inside his mind and he couldn’t answer any of them, all that he could do now is do what this guy wants or he dies.

“Great.” the guy spoke and stood up to get the soup for him. “I cooked this for you, how about you take a sip and tell me how does it taste?” his gentle and sweet voice is now back again.

Even if he’s scared, Cayle took the bowl from his hand. Inamoy niya ang sabaw at normal naman iyon, walang kakaiba.

He gulped and took a sip from the soup, it was a little salty but delicious.

“Well?” nakangiting tanong sa kaniya ng lalaki. “Kamusta? Nagustuhan mo ba?” tanong muli nito sa kaniya.

Tumango siya. “O–Oo.” nauutal na sagot niya at umayos ng pagkakasandal sa headboard ng kama.

Cayle felt nothing unusual after he took a sip from that delicious soup, guess this guy isn’t trying to poison him.

Nagulat siya ng ilagay nito ang maliit na lamesa sa harapan niya at naghayin doon ng mga pagkain, pagkain na hindi niya alam kung ano pero lahat ng ito ay magandang pagmasdan. Halos ayaw mo na kainin dahil sa sobrang ganda ng pagkakadesenyo ng mga ito.
