2 years later.
I'm 19 years old now and I fulfilled my promise that in two years time, matatapos ako ng College. Kaya heto ako ngayon kasama si Mommy at Mistress Morgan dito sa resthouse na nirentahan ng aking Mistress para sa graduation ko at sa 'job well done' ayon sa kanya.
But knowing her, alam kong hindi lang celebration ang ipinunta namin dito, and my instincts never failed me even once dahil tama na naman ako. Dahil narinig ko na lang ang mabining katok nito sa kwarto ni Mommy kung nasaan ako.
I told her to come in without tearing my eyes away from my mother.
Mistress Morgan sat beside me saka nito kinuha ang isang baso na naglalaman ng tubig na nilagyan ko ng sleeping pills kanina para makatulog kaagad si Mommy.
I just did what I had to. I'm sorry, Mom...
"Very good, Helena. You're finally ready." Natutuwang sambit nito.
"When are they going to abduct me?" tanong ko sa malamig na boses.
"One of these days. You need to be ready for that. C'mon? Let's talk in my office." she smiled predatorily at me.
I know the meaning behind that predator smile of hers. It's one of her final tests for me.
Walang alinlangan akong tumayo at sumunod sa kanya sa office n'ya.
"Lock the door," utos n'ya habang ito ay nagtatanggal ng pang itaas na damit, exposing that Trinity tattoos in her back.
Pagharap nito, hindi pa rin ako kumikibot dito sa kinalulugaran ko. Ni hindi rin ako kumurap. Nakatitig lang ako sa kanya.
Malanding sumandal ito sa edge ng table n'ya at saka nag-crossed legs.
Kahit may edad na ito, hindi pa rin maitatanggi ang taglay niyang kagandahan. With that wavy blonde hair na hanggang shoulder lang n'ya, that upturned eyebrows, and her killer cheekbones. Men and women will kill just to have a taste of her.
"Now, remember, Helena. When you're in there, you only have is yourself. Yes, nandoon ang kapatid mo. But you have to be very careful with your actions. Hindi nila pwedeng malaman na magkapatid kayo. What's my first rule?"
"Never show any emotion. Especially weak ones."
Tumango-tango ito. "Because it will get you killed in an instant if they saw any emotion in your eyes. Two things Los Zetos loves to see in their hostages' eyes, and that is love and fear. They'll love to use those things to control and play their victims so that they can get what they want from them. You must not let them control you. When you're there, you will be the one playing them. But it's not gonna be easy."
"Meaning?" tamad na tanong ko.
"They'll do every alternate thing to subdue you. Los Zetos' trust is very hard to earn, Helena. So you need to use your mind to outsmart them. Remember, don't ever, ever use your heart. Love is weakness."
"Let me guess, ang unang ipapagawa nila sa akin ay ang pakikipagtalik, tama ba ako?"
Morgan smirked. "Yes. That's right. And I will be your training grounds." she seductively made a come-here-motion using her index finger.
Like a good puppet to her master, lumapit kaagad ako. Napasinghap ako nang kaunti nang biglaan ako nitong hatakin sa batok.
Halos maduling na ako sa sobrang lapit ng mga mata namin pero tinibayan ko ang sarili ko at hindi ako nagpatinag sa intensidad na dala ng kaniyang mga tingin.
Mariin nitong hinimas ang mga labi ko gamit ang kaniyang hinlalaki dahilan para magkalat ang lipstick ko sa aking pisngi at paligid ng mga labi ko.
"f**k me without mercy and don't stop 'til I passed out." bulong nito then she kissed me hard and deep dahilan para mas lalong dumilim ang paningin ko sa pleasure na naramdaman ko.
Walang sabi-sabi ay mariin ko itong itinulak paharap sa table n'ya then I bend her over, pulling her blonde silky hair in the process.
Pinaghiwalay ko rin ang mga hita nito gamit ang paa ko and do every ungodly thing that I know will make her pass out of consciousness.
******
"That was good, are you... able to feel anything?" Mistress Morgan asked in a low voice while she's wearing her top again. Her back was facing me.
"Yeah, a little."
She hums saka ito humarap sa akin. "Don't worry. Pagbalik mo, baka sakaling makakuha na ako ng possible cure para diyan sa kondisyon mo."
I shook my head. "I'm not asking for your help. I'll be just fine without a cure."
Her steely grey eyes bore into mine.
"I promised your mom, Helena. And I never break a promise. Ever."
Oh yeah, aside from being a leader of Trinity, she's also the CEO of the famous pharmaceutical company here in the US.
Napatawa ako nang mapakla. "Sinabi mo rin ba 'yan sa kapatid ko?"
She shook her head in disbelief. "Now, now, don't be such a b***h. I never promised anything from your sister."
"Does she know about me?" that almost didn't come out in my mouth.
Pigil na pigil ang sarili kong huwag magpakita ng kahit na anong emosyon. I don't want to compromise my years of training for a one simple mistake. I'm still powerless and weak.
But God knows how much I wanted a sister. And to know that I have one, kahit hindi ko pa s'ya nakikita o nakikilala, gusto ko na agad siyang protektahan at ibigay lahat sa kanya ng kasiyahan dito sa mundo.
I wanted to be a sister to her, na tutulong sa kanyang makuha ang taong pinaka aasam at nagpapasaya sa kanya.
Material things are just a temporary joy but people's true happiness? It's everything that they could ever ask for.
"Yes and she knows that you're coming to help her and the others out of that evil island."
With that, napangiti ako. Well, I can't wait to meet her...
Hinarap ako ni Mistress Morgan at hinawakan sa magkabilang balikat.
"At pangako ko naman sa 'yo na kapag nakalabas ka roon, I guarantee you my position in the Trinity. Pagbalik mo, you will be Contessa Helena De Laurentis."
My smile turns into a huge grin. "And I'm not gonna be alone when I come back. Because I will be with my sister. And we will rule the Trinity. Together." buong loob at kasiyahan kong hayag.
Pero ang hindi ko mawari ay ang way ng tingin ni Mistress Morgan sa akin, na parang may pinapahiwatig na isang bagay na mapapapagbago ng lahat-lahat. Including my future that I already plan for myself and my family...
To be continued...
