Chapter 19

I was half -eaten as someone approached our table and everyone's attention went to us. I looked at her reluctantly and immediately looked back at what I was eating, even katelyn looked back and forth with the two of us. "How sweet that my girlfriend isn't with me eating. Don't you miss me babe?" I loudly lowered the cutlery I was using and that made a noise that filled the entire cafeteria. I looked up at him and struggled to resist the kind of look he was giving me. His menacing eyes sent so much tension in my body. It seemed to indicate that he was in control of my life. "I didn't notice that you're here, I'm sorry." I answer gently but with emphasis there. He smiled, but behind it is how dangerous he is. "Its okay, you know I could always understand you." Fck. can you please stop it? 'Lady, your dear step sister is watching, can you act a little longer?' I immediately adjusted my seat and looked at katelyn in astonishment. I look at her assuring that she will know it soon. "Katelyn, I have to go. See you later." I immediately stood up and grabbed his hand then pulled him away. "Is this means you're coming with me now?" "Dream on Frost. I am just escaping for the scene you started." I groaned. He pulled his hand away that made me turn to face him. "Can't you just say thanks for helping you?" "Why would I if I know behind that helping thing is a dangerous game you're playing do you think you can fool me?" "You're really hard as rock. Don't make me do things that would make you suffer Reign you know what I'm capable of. I can kill without mercy." "You're really Jewish, and who are you going to kill me for? Go on. I won't mind once I die." "Not you but ..." He immediately looked in one direction and when I followed him I saw him looking at katelyn who was staring at us. "Its your choice, Mcdemort." After he said that, he immediately approached me, I felt the heat of his breath on the edge of my ear, if someone saw us they would think he was kissing me on the ear, his hands made its way on my nape as I felt his lips touch mine ear. "I have the control for everything reign, one word, one word from you and I can make things as peaceful as you want." My hair almost stood up because the next thing he did, he kissed my ear as he bit my earlobe. It heated my body and made my heart beats harder than its usual beat. Then his kiss dropped on my cheek down my jawline and on my neck. His cold sharp teeth traced on my skin as it sent goosebumps on me. My body almost stiffened from what he did, my hand was shaking and I wanted you to put it on his face but I don't know why I can't do it like my whole body is suspended to move even a bit. He stopped right before our lips met when he leaned closer a mischievous smile flashed on his lips and moved away, I even saw the sudden redness in his eyes that also immediately disappeared along with the retraction of his fangs. "See you when I see you, babe." He let out a smirk before turning around and walking away. I could feel my anger growing at him. Until now I can't accept what he's doing to me. He's a demon, and I am not like him, I loathed his kind. The manipulative people who want everything under their control. I don"t like being controlled by things that I should be deciding on. And he just does it, he's trying to control me and he's only trying to control me because he sees that I'm not that quick to obey his wishes. Well I will never give him the satisfaction he was aching for. I would go away and away if necessary and he would not stop me. REIGN After class, I left immediately, making sure no one would notice me. I don't like how students look at me after what Sage said in the cafeteria. I am known as 'His Girl' and I think it just started a fire that will burn me down. That demon is really good at making things harder for me. I went home first to change my clothes. I wonder where is Katelyn? I haven't seen her after class, she also vanish in air and I don't know where did she go. I didn't even feel her presence, even though she was just next to me. She seems silent and quite suspecious, I mean there is something in her mind bothering her. I am a bit curious of what it is. I bet she wants to hear out the story behind me and sage? what now? I lock the door and ride my favorite ducati as I drove off my Cafe. I saw her, serving one of the customer. She look at me and wave as she mouthed hi with a smile on her lips. Maybe I was just overthinking. I shrugged and just nodded and then went straight to my office. I take off my jacket and put it in my chair. I took the TV remote then turned it on, maybe I should watch something interesting to relax my mind in the midst of chaos, I've been experiencing. '' Another victim has found-- I immediately turned you off and quickly threw the remote away. Damn! Won't those really let me go? Even now I don't want to read or hear something that has a connection to whatever I'm avoiding. Annoyed I fell on the chair and immediately grabbed the ballpen that was sitting on it and just dumbfounded staring at where while tapping the ballpen on the table it made a distracting noise but I didn"t stop its my hobby when I want to have something to do thay could cool me down. In the middle of thinking, couole of knocks brought me back to my senses, I immediately stood up and opened it.
"Sorry did I disturb you?" She's holding cup of coffee, Cappucino. "No." "Can I have a minute?" I plainly stares at her as I made my door wide open. He entered immediately. When the door closed, I made him sit on the chair in front of my table. "Here, I requested it for you." "Hmm, what do you want?" "You owe me a story, ma'am" "Quit it, katelyn." "Alright how about you as a 'girlfriend' of the famous and nutorious Sage Vandrex frost." "Its true." I can't tell her the real score between me and that demon. She don't have to know. "What?" "We're in a relationship." "But you said you don't know him? Each other? H-how?" "I just said it, but he already prove it wasn't true, you heard it. So do I need to explain and tell you the whole fvcking story?" He was silent, fear fought in his eyes so I was blown away by the wind and leaned over while looking at him. Calm down, Reign. "Don't make it as an issue katelyn. Its normal. I didn't even told you that I was going to tell you everything, I just assured you that you will know the truth soon. So yeah right now I admitted to you that I am his girl. But I am too lazy to tell you the whole story. Its just that he asked me to be his girlfriend and I answered yes end of story. I know it's unbelievable because of how bad you know him, but that would never change the fact that he is my boyfriend. " "I understand, I'm sorry. I'm just curious and at the same time he can't believe it." "There are things really that are hard to believe." "So is that all what you need? You can now go back to your work." "Actually there's another one, about what you're doing." I became interested in what he would say next and I knew he saw that in the expression on my face. "I already start investigating." "And what did you find out?" "Crisanta Muffin is living in her condo unit in FMCB while her mom is having a vacation in france with her husband, Crisan's dad. And also based on what a caretaker told me at their rest house, crisan's mom had a first wife She's also a 3rd year student at the University we're attending. She's known for being a model and fashionista. Aside from that, many also say she's approachable and has many friends in and outside of the school. She's just like she's rich, but she's also a bitch mostly to those who are lower than her. " So they are really having good life with all my properties and wealth. "I already know about that about her mom, she really had an affair with someone in the past. But something is missing in that story. She's not the legal and first wife of that man. The man she married has a family, that's all and Her husband has been dead for a long time and only one child is left. Her mother's name is Cristina Muffin. And the other one is her? a bitch? Oh dear I know that too. " I was dumbfounded when I told him that story and bowed slightly. "I'm sorry I lack information." "Don't apologize, I didn't say that you didn't do a great job. The first one says it all. That's what I want to know that I will never be able to do because I have a lot of things to take care of, it's good and there you have to do that. " "Can I ask?" "What is it?" "Why are you investigating them like that? Are you connected to them?" "She's my step sister, her mother is my dad's second wife." I simply said with a smirk in my lips. He was obviously surprised by what he found out so I took that chance to say a gun I knew was running through his mind. "Yes, Katelyn. That girl owed me a debt. That can't be paid with just money." "What do you mean?" I just gave him a deceptive smile. "You may now go, just keep your eye on her." I know she's not convinced but she chooses to leave. France huh. I went home at about dyes. I caught Katelyn busy with the laptop I lent her earlier. I quickly got behind him without him feeling it. She's looking at some articles and news about the same cases. There are different victims but there is only one way to die. My forehead furrowed. Why does she seems tol focus on that issue? Is he also a detective? "What are you doing?" He suddenly shut down the laptop in panic. "Jusko, I'm going to have a heart attack! How did you get there so quickly? Where did you go?" "Answer me." "I am just curious, its the city's hot topic. Everyone is talking about it. So I am trying to know what's behind their death." "It's not your problem anymore katelyn, I have things to take care of you so that's your job." "But- "No buts." You will never know what's behind their death katelyn, unless you're me. I left him there and went up to my room. I need to rest, I feel weak again. I immediately sat up in bed when I felt a sudden dizziness, different parts of my body also ached. What the hell is happening? I felt my stomach rumble that made me jump off the bed and run inside my bathroom. I throw up hard as hell. I cursed under my breath while leaning on the wall. I remained sitting on the bathroom tiles and feeling myself, when I made sure it was okay I got up and faced the sink then rinsed. I even wash my face repeatedly and look at my reflection in the mirror. I was almost disgusted by what I saw. There were some kind of black veins that were drawn on different parts of my face as well as on my arms and neck. Eventually it also gradually disappeared. My face becomes pale, I don't know what is happening but I have an idea that I don't want to accept. I slowly went back to bed and fell to bed trying to forget what had just happened. This new life is a curse. I don't have any words to define it but only a curse. I thought I had already lived in hell, I didn't know that anyone else would remember. This life is punishing, what have I done to be punished like this? 'Mom, dad, if only you're here.' 'What was I told you reign?' 'A-auntie ssorry p-po,' my hands are shaking, I am afraid that she might do something again. 'You! stubborn useless child of my husband! what can you do sorry ?! huh ?! I said don't leave this room unless I told you! are you really stupid ?! now? how do you bring my clients back ?! you are really unlucky you are young! bad luck! ' she started hurting me using her bare hands, she immediately took the belt and slapped me then I curled my toes as I endure the pain while my hands are covering my face, protecting it from every strike she made, I let myself cried out loud and my step sister just stand there looking at me, laughing. Its her fault. 'Auntie t-tama n-na p-po ..' ‘What"s right, touch you kid! I'm letting you here even without your parents, you're going to persecute me! Come here! ' She started dragging me. I felt a scorching pain in my body, I'm tired and hopeless. My body is aching is tired and weak. I can take another blow. She dragged me into an empty small dark room. 'Here! here you are! I just don't know if you can get out of here yet. You are being fed and educated! you will even destroy my livelihood! suffer here and you will never get out of there until you are old! ' She put a chain in my foot. I tried to remove it but the chain is locked. My body was shaking as I stared at my step sister who was next to me earlier, asking for help but she just stuck out her tongue on me. 'Auntie ... p-please let me go ... p-please .. its dark! i-i'm s-scared! ' 'Jan ka lang! try to find a way to leave and you will be really charmed by me! ' after that she immediately left the room and I just heard sounds of something being locked. She locked me up here. 'auntie! don't leave me here! Auntie !! let me go here! ayoko dito !! auntie !!! let me go please! please! ' I tried tor reach out for the door but the chain is too short. I am crying in fears, I hate dark place, I am scared! it reminds me of how my mom death! I screamed in fear and pain. My wounds are bleeding and I have no strength and capability to make it stop. 'auntie !! parang awa niyo na!! let me go !! ' 'Let me go!' 'I don't want to be here !!' 'Help !! someone help me out! help !! ' I'm crying all the time. Her sobs turned into loud cries. 'RELEASE ME !!!' I was immediately awakened by the echo of my own voice in my ear. I am completely sweating and trembling. The scene feels fresh, as if it only happened to me yesterday. That was years ago, but everything is still clear to me, every detail, even the pain of every blow and blow I still feel. They made my life completely hell. I've been living in hell since the day that my parents are completely gone. And I won't just let it pass. I looked at the clock, and at three o'clock I probably got up and took a shower. I put on cargo black pants and also a black shirt and then put on a jacket. I immediately went downstairs as I remembered that I had placed my motor key on top of the refrigerator. I slowly took steps to keep katelyn from waking up and when I successfully got my key I hurried out still without making any noise. The ride was also a success and I left, it was a good thing that I was asleep with fat. The peaceful atmosphere greeted me while I am driving. I let it slow down and felt the surroundings until I reached my goal. An old mansion startled me. I miss my home. I can"t quite imagine that this house serves as my palace became hell to me. I just stared at it and in an instant I was inside. The entire things inside the house are old, completely neglected and no longer paid attention to. Memories are flashing in my mind everytime my eyes landed in every thing in here. All parts, of the corner. I have memories on it. Pass bad or good but as time goes on I feel worse especially as I keep remembering how hard it has been for me to live inside this house. Mentally, physically and emotionally. I didn't let myself stay there long and then went to my main purpose. 'FMCB' I wouldn"t have come here if I could, but I wanted to let him know whose territory he had entered. "Good morning mam reign." The security guard greeted me when he recognized me and bowed slightly, I just nodded and went straight to the front desk. "Mam r-reign good morning." the evening staff greeted me, they are also about to exchange. I looked at my wrist watch and realized it was five o'clock in the morning. It probably took me a long time to get to and from the old house. It was also a distance and I was driving even slower. "Give me the number of Crisanta muffin's unit." "Mam kasi p-po ..." "Now!" "O-Opo..I'll just check." he was confused to face the monitor and then something was pressed on the keyboard. "12th floor, number 201 po mam." I immediately went to the elevator and entered there and then dialed the number of the floor I was going to. When I left, I immediately walked to find the number given to me by a staff. At the same time as I found it there was the exit of the person I expected to be there I immediately stopped walking and met his shocked gaze. "Reign? W-what g-are you doing here?" "Why are you moaning? That's not the Crisantang I know. What happened Crisan? I've only been gone for a few years? Has the wind changed?" I step forward but she step back. I chuckle. "Afraid?" "How dare you! If you're here to scare me dream on Mcdemort! I won't be afraid of you!" I just shrugged at him. "What do you want ?! and how did you..y-you didn't die?" "Of course I died." I simply said that the more shocked he was, the more he backed away. "Y-you're a ghost !?" I laughed even more at what he said. Tss stupid. "Of course not, I'm Sage's girlfriend, right?" Anger and pain appeared on his face which made me even happier. "Leave Reign, before I call a security to drag you out!" I seem to face again the crisanta that killed me before. I was even more pleased with what was happening. "Come on, crisan. You can't do that. I know you can't" He laughed. "Are you stupid? Of course I can! We were able to kill that, can we still be dragged away ?!" I smiled because of what he said. "If you really killed me then why I am here?" he could not speak. "Go on drag me out, drag me out of my own territory." To be continued...
