Taming The Superiors (High Class Issue Series #1)

Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Testify

"H-Hit me once, and your life will be different. Beat and mark this face you love so much and see what happens. The day you raise a hand to me, you're no longer my husband," I mumbled, and my voice was shaking. His eyes were furious a while ago, but now, he was filled with guilt.

I can't believe that he could raise a hand to me. I was hurt at the same time regretting that I married him. I didn't expect that I could be this scared of him because I thought he's different from the others, but I was fooled, once again.

Matalim pa rin ang tingin niya sa akin at sa huling pagpatak ng mga luha ko ay doon ko na tinanggap na hindi siya kagaya noon. Sa huli ay napunta pa rin ako sa mga taong balak akong saktan at abusuhin. Napunta na naman ako sa landas na akala ko ay isang mapayapang lugar.

Naputol lang ang tinginan namin nang tumunog ang phone niya. Nag-iwas ako ng tingin at umaktong walang nangyare sa aming dalawa. Pinigilan ko ang hikbing balak lumabas sa bibig ko at pilit na inayos ang diwa ko.

"Hello, this is Police Inspector Desmon Miliano," I heard him answer the call, and I shut my eyes when he stated his rank that he doesn't even deserve. Police Inspector? That doesn't suit him at all because he's a criminal.

He abused his power just to protect his illegal business. I want to understand him, but I already see the worst side of him. Desmond is a traitor to his country. He promised to serve his country, but behind that is vicious police who deceived everyone.

He cleared his throat, and it looks like a serious call, "He surrendered?" he asked, and that made me stunned for a moment. Is he referring to Morde, and what is he saying that someone surrendered?

"Sige, papunta na ko diyan," tinapos niya na ang tawag at doon ako nagkaroon ng lakas para muli siyang harapin. Naging maamo ang mukha nito nang bumalik sa akin ang tingin niya pero hindi niya na ako nadadala sa pagpapanggap niya.

"S-Sumuko na si Morde?" tanong ko at nakita kong nag-taas siya ng kilay na para bang inuusisa niya ang reaksyon ko. Doon ko natandaan na nagsinungaling rin pala ako sa kanya, nagsinungaling ako para sa kanya pero pinagsisisihan ko na mas inuna ko siya kaysa sa sarili ko.

"Oo, dadalo siya sa korte at siya mismo ang mag-dedepensa sa sarili niya," malamig ang boses nito at kalmado na para bang walang nangyare kanina. Hindi niya alam na nakita ko si Morde nung gabing natulog ako sa bahay ni Tita Liyelle at wala akong balak sabihin sa kanya 'yon.

Narinig ko ang mga yabag niya at kaagad ko siyang sinundan ng tingin, "P-Pupuntahan mo siya?" natigilan siya at nasilayan ko pang umigting ang panga niya. Pinikit niya saglit ang mga mata para ayusin ang diwa bago muling ibaling ito sa akin.

"Oo, hindi mo na kailangang sumama, Eliza. Dito ka lang sa bahay," mas lalong lumalim ang boses niya at parang pinipiga nito ang puso ko. Kumurap ang mga mata ko dahil sa narinig at parang gumuho ang mundo ko.

Terror sucked the very breath of mine when his eyes were sharp as if it would make you bleed. His menacing aura was holding a grip tightly on my neck, and I was losing my strength.
