The Crazy Rich Madame

Hindi siya makapaniwala sa kinikilos ni Luvien nitong nakaraang dalawang buwan na lagi itong nakabantay sa kaniya. He was so serious before, when they met again after several years. Para itong may galit lagi at di mo mabibiro. But now, he changed. Day by day he is changing, from a scary man to a sweet and clingy one which made her heart inexplicably elated for some seconds.

Pero agad din niyang sinupil ang bagay na nararamdaman niyang iyon. Ayaw niyang magpakita ng kahit anong response sa mga pinaggaga-gawa nitong Ex niya. Kahit madalas na siya nitong mapa-ngiti at mapatawa sa kakornihan nito. Di na siya pwedeng mahulog muli dito dahil ayaw na niyang madurog na naman ang puso niya.

Kung ano man ang ginagawa nila, it's because she only enjoy him nothing else more than that. Wala nang pwedeng ilagpas pa na iba kaya ngayon palang, she'll restricts her heart for this man.

Isa pa, still, hindi pa rin niya pwedeng pagkatiwalaan ang lalaking ito sa harap niya dahil sa mga nalaman niya.

That 'he' is the person behind the constant assault and assassinations she had these past few months. She can't trust him. What if he is just trying to wait for the right timing to kill her?

Napabuntong hininga si Vladimyr at nag-iwas ng tingin. Ayaw niyang makita nito kahit anong expression sa mukha niya. Ayaw niyang bigyan ng kahit konting clue ang lalaking ito na may alam na siya sa pinaplano nito sa kaniya. But something is off...

Bigla niya naisip.

Kung gusto siyang patayin ni Luvien, bakit siya nito nililigtas?

Ilang beses na siyang niligtas nito from death.

He even got several chances to end her life easily.

Una, noong hinarap niya si Don Gregorio Dela Claire, he has the chance to kill her at kaya na yon ni Luvien, but instead, he send her to the hospital where she escaped, kaya ngayon buhay pa rin siya.

2nd, noong dinala siya dito sa bahay niya para gamutin. And lastly,

3rd, when she had sex with him that she fell asleep from so much exhaustion and tiredness.

But he didn't take those chances to do such a thing as killing her?

Lihim na nasapo ni Vladimyr ang noo niya. She felt his head to burst again from those thoughts.

'If it's not him, then maybe someone is using his name to divert us from the real culprit.'

Her inner self said.

Naguguluhan siya sa mga ginagawa ng lalaki for her. At ang nakakapag-taka pa, he is totally different from the Luvien she loved before.

That Luvien is sweet and caring. He often spoils her and treat like a damsel. From a year of their relationship, never siyang pinag taasan ng boses ni Luvien noon and never siya nitong tiningnan ng matalim. Unlike this Luvien before. This Luvien always glares at her, yells and mocks when he is angry. He's not as sweet as he was before.

Nakagat ni Vladimyr ang ibaba niyang labi mang maramdaman niya ang sakit ng nakaraan.

Those facts that he left her alone without a word makes her hate him. And it still breaks her heart kapag naalala niya ang ginawa nito.

Vladimyr stood up to avoid the man in front of her. She felt her eyes hot as her tears tended to fall so she had to go to hide it.

Ayaw niyang makita ni Luvien kung gaano pa rin siya nasasaktan hanggang ngayon kahit anong pilit niya sa sariling kalimutan nalang ito. Napakahirap!

Tapos malalaman niyang pinagtatangkaan nito ang buhay niya? F*ck him!

As Vladimyr going to step away, biglang hinawakan ni Luvien ang kamay niya at nagtatakang pinaharap siya nito.

"Hey, where are you going, hon?" He asked in a gentle tone. There's a spark of love in his eyes.

Vladimyr gulped when she felt something blocking her throat while blinking the tears tending to fall. She can't breathe properly.

"I need to work, excuse me..."

"But you're not yet done with your food...are you okay?"

Lucien asked. Concerned.

"I am...okay..." she coldly answered.

"Then why?"

"Please Luvien, I'm getting tired and I have a lot of work to do. Please leave."

Napayuko si Lucien dahil sa sinabi niya. Nakokonsensya siya pero ayaw niyang makitang apektado pa rin siya ng presensiya nito. It was obvious that she's trying to push him away. "Vladimyr..."

She didn't stop walking when he called her name. She ignores his plea, but a sudden pair of arms stops her from her tracks and pulls her close against him.

"Please don't ignore me...it's breaking me..."

Natigilan si Vladimyr at parang nanlalambot ang tuhod niya dahil sa pakiusap na iyon ni Luvien. Ramdam niya ang pagmamakaawa nito hanggang sa isuksok nito and mukha sa leeg niya. "Please...I love you...I do really love you..."

Tuluyan nang di naawat ni Vladimyr ang mga luhang umagos sa pisngi habang pinipilit ikalma ang sarili.

But she failed. Her tears betrayed her.

She can't let him see her tears.

She won't give him the satisfaction of seeing her breaking! But she really is breaking! And it's so hard to hide it from him.

Mabilis niyang pinunasan ang mga luha at pilit na inalis ang braso ni Luvien sa pagyakap sa kanya na lalong hinigpitan nito pagkatapos siyang iharap. "Look at me..."

"Please.."

"Ayoko...makikita kita."

"Damn, honey..."

Lucien grinned cheekily and leaned closer to her face claiming her lips lovingly and gentle while his arms wrapped on her shoulder and waist to pull her closer.

"I love you, Vladimyr...this man loves you so much." She saw the pure sincerity from his eyes that made her heart soften and kiss him back. When Lucien kisses her again passionately and lovingly. She can't stop herself from giving in to him. Soon they end up in bed sharing love with each other.
