Unordinary Love (Book 2)

CHAPTER 7

"When you're a submissive the right dominant touches you in your soul."

Trouble.

   ***

Bellarose Martinelli. 

"You're no longer my dominant. My butler is outside, he'll escort you home."

I said with finality habang bored na bored na nakatingin lang kay Nathalie - my former and so abusive dominant.

I mentally rolled my eyes at her damn face. She looks so pathetic right now. Halatang nahulog na sakin.

"If you're going to beg for my mercy. Don't even think about it again because it's not going to happen. Don't worry, I'll transfer your final check tomorrow."

Suot ang aking elegant robe, tinalikuran ko na siya duon na punong puno ng pagsisisi sa mukha.

Gosh, I have cuts in my freaking gorgeous face. May interview pa naman ako sa Forbes mamaya. I have to freaking covered these cuts with a lot of concealer later.

Tumungo ako sa bathroom ko at naligo na. I have an appointment with Halil in an hour so I really need to hurry. That Halil doesn't appreciate tardiness even if I am her pal.

Business is business to her. Lalo na ngayon na napaka grumpy niya mag mula ng mawala si Dra. Valerie Demitri.

After a while, lumabas na din ako ng kwarto ko at hindi na ako nabigla ng makita ko pang nandito si Nathalie.

I took a long tired sigh. This is what I hate the most. Hindi ba maintindihan ng mga 'to ang salitang No strings attached?

I only wanted a good s*x. Not to create drama.

Nilapitan ako ni Nathalie ng makita ako. She reach for my hand then kneeled in front of me.

I only raised my eyebrow at her.

"What do you want?"

I asked with a frowned.

"Give me another chance, Bel--?

"It's Miss Martinelli for you honey.."

Tinignan ko siya ng may pang uuyam sa mga mata. I smirked at her tsaka lumapit sakanya at bumulong.

"We're not close."

Mahinang tinulak ko siya sa magkabilang braso niya at tinawag si Zall - ang aking butler s***h driver. Agad naman siyang sumulpot sa kung saan at nilapitan ako.

"Escort her home."

Maikling tumango lang sakin si Zall tsaka na hinila si Nathalie palabas ng bahay ko.

I only rolled my eyes when Nathalie was screaming at me to get her back. I felt an uncomfortable shiver all over my body.

"Unbelievable woman."

Naiiling na bulong ko sa sarili.

I grab my BMW flash concept car keys to my LV bag and made myself to my front house where my sexy car is waiting for my arrival.

I know I have a thing with classic cars but that change nuong nahawaan ako ni Hunter sa lifestyle niyang pag kolekta ng mga concept cars.

They're very expensive but it really gives you the power.

And because of that and my hardwork, heto nga at inimbitahan ako ng Forbes para mainterview ako about my success in Business and my lifestyle in b**m.

Yes, I publisize my b**m lifestyle. Why? It's simple. Ayoko lang na may tinatago. Malalaman at malalaman din ng buong mundo dahil isa akong public figure. Our life is their intertainment.

When I hop on to my car and drove off, two of my security followed suit with a Volvo SUV.

Suddenly, the screen on the dashboard start up revealing an AI female human. This is the new invention of Hunter's. It's very sophisticated cause this AI is like your secretary. She tells you if you have a phone call or important texts and you just have to command it like a normal human being.

It's better than people though. I can't forget as to why Hunter build this invention. You know why? Simple. It was because of frustrations sa mga employees niya, paano kasi kapag pupunta ang asawa niya sa company niya, Hunter's employees are always asking for her permission if they will let her own wife into her freaking company.

I can't stop laughing when Hunter told me that.

"Welcome back, Miss Martinelli, you have missed a video call in facetime from Miss Miranda Santillian. She sent you a short greating video 5 minutes ago, do you want me to play it for your comfort?"

Ngumiti ako kay Tatiana aka the AI.

"Yes, thanks dude."

I winked at Tatiana na kinatawa naman niya. Binigyan kasi ni Hunter ng feelings itong AI design niya. Did you know na pwede ka pang makapag sabi ng problema sa AI na 'to? That Hunter is a freaking genius.

Hindi siya magiging trillionaire for nothing. Actually, she's the only one who became Trillionaire.

That woman who actually my best friend earned at least 391 billion a year.

Nakakapangilabot ang kayamanan niya. Kaya mas lalong naging mahigpit ang security niya, especially when it comes to her four kids.

Nawala lang ako sa train of thoughts ko ng makita ang masungit na mukha ni Miranda.

Napangiti agad ako ng makita ang video message niya.

"Hey chiks and d***s! I was calling for like forever! Kailan mo ako dadalawin dito sa Fiji? Anyway, I called because I wanted to inform you that I sent you a VIP ticket for my second show here in Fiji. It will happen next week so please don't be such a p***y for declining it. I won't take no for an answer."

Natatawa ako habang panakanaka kong tinitignan ang video ni Mira.

I told the AI named Tatiana that I will be in Miranda's show in Fiji. Tatiana already cleared my schedule for next week and ordered my Pilot that I will be going to Fiji next week.

See? Who will needs secretary when you have this freaking AI? Well, sadly to say but this is only applicable for wealty person only. Because it is very expensive. This AI is available in smart phones, smart watch, car, elevators, laptop, PC and much more.

Minutes later, nasa meeting place na ako kung saan kami magkikita ng ever so grumpy na si Halil Dela f*****g Questa.

I manage to come to her given time. Halil is like a f*****g lunatic, she will leave you and cut out your investment to her company if you're just late for a freaking seconds.

This mother fucker is a pain in everyones ass. Especially, Venus's ass..

"I already ordered if you don't mind."

She said simply after she take a sip to her red wine.

"I don't mind at all. Thank you, Miss Dela Questa."

I didn't saw her form any reaction, instead she reach for her bag and slide a f*****g book in front of me.

I raised my eyebrow while looking at the book in front of me.

"Read it. If you finished, come and find me. We can negotiate about the company that I would like to build in Japan."

I frowned at her.

"Why in Japan? Pwede naman dito sa Eu--"

Umismid siya atska ako tinaasan ng kilay.

"My company, my rules. Gamóto skýla."

I rolled my eyes at that. Yabang talaga ng lunatic na 'to. Sarap bigwasan. And I don't even know what did she say to me in Greek. Who knows, maybe this effin vixen curse my name.

Natapos ang meeting namin na hawak yung book na binigay ni Halil. Aanhin ko naman 'to? Gago ata yon?

I scrunched up my nose as I shoved the book inside my bag then storm out of the restaurant. I made it to my car then drove to my company kung saan gagawin ang interview ko for Forbes.

"What is your daily routine?"

I shrugged as I answered it honestly. Until they caught my lifestyle in b**m to my answer to the inteviewer question.

"Can you tell us why a multi-billionaire like you is being submissive? We all know that Mrs. Hunter De Laurentis is a dominant. Then there's Miss Halil Dela Questa playing the role of a sadist. Why did you choose to be the Submissive?"

I smiled at the camera.

"Well, for me a dominant needs to be needed. A submissive needs to feel wanted. Without each other, they are nothing. Together they are complete. I chose to be submissive because I want to give the full power to my partner. I want my dominant to feel like she's being needed. Appreciated, special and love."

I simply said with a smile.

"Did you feel complete to your dominant?"

My mouth form an 'O' shape dahil mabuti nalang at natanong niya yon sakin.

"Actually, no. And this morning, I fired my current dominant."

The interviewer furrowed an eyebrow. Halatang nagustuhan niya ang sagot ko dahil makakarami na naman sila ng views nito.

"Oh, will you start to look for another again?"

I shrugged.

"Maybe yes, maybe no. Not quite sure though.."

Ngumiti sakin yung interviewer. This time she asked me about my business.

"My twin sister and I always collected car toys then display it to our rooms. Oh gosh, you wouldn't believe my room back in my childhood, it was full of car toys. I have every kinds of car collection inside my room. To the point that it became my obssession."

I smiled lightly.

"I remembered what my mum told me about business. She said in order to succeed, you need to have this four important things, Idea, Hardwork and Time then lastly, Luck."

Napatawa ako sa huling sinabi ko remembing how my mum said that to me.

My mum is fairly ambitious. She did everything in order to get to the top. She work hard for it, yung tipong walang wala na talaga siyang time para samin ni Arabella.

The interviewer asked me about Luck. Oh well, talk to me about Luck. I know all about it.

"First, I came into the Idea. I think of a possibility that why not create a business out of what you loved the most. And for me? I immediately think of cars because it's my obssession. I work for it and invest a lot of my time because I loved what I'm doing. It's very important for everyone to love what they're doing. How can you reach your dreams if you don't work harder for it? If you don't love what you're doing? Then lastly, Luck. You really need to have tons of Luck for you to succeed. I work with Luck with all of my life. You just have to know how to play hard.."

I always get what I want because I work hard for it. Hindi ko titigilan hanggat hindi ko yon nakukuha.

Though in all things na nakukuha ko, isa lang ang wala..

That four word that everyone fear or like about.

That four letters called LOVE.

I have so much love to give. But the only question is, to whom?

******

"Hey, where are you?"

Tanong ko kay Miranda over the phone habang nagtitingin tingin sa paligid ng Airport dito sa Fiji.

I landed 30 minutes ago, pero itong kausap ko kanina pa wala.

"Sorry na po. Nasira kasi sasakyan ko eh. Heto na malapit na po ako. Sorry kamahalan."

I rolled my eyes at that. I snorted tsaka ko binaba yung suot kong sun hat para mas lalong matakpan ang mukha ko. I don't want to be ogle around here.

Binaba ko na ang tawag kay Mira ng makita ko na siyang umaangos na kumaway kaway pa sakin.

Parang biglang nawala ang inis ko ng makita ko siya uli after 6 months.

Ang tagal ko na rin hindi nakikita itong babaeng 'to.

I missed bullying her though.

Tinakbo niya ako ng yakap, muntikan pa kaming matumba kung hindi ko lang siya nasalo agad.

"Ayiiee namiss ako ni Mira."

Nang-iinis na sabi ko sabay sundot sa tagiliran niya. Sinamaan agad niya ako ng tingin sabay tampal sa mga kamay ko.

Imbis na mainis ay mas lalo pa akong natawa ng namula ito sa inis sakin.

"Napaka pikon mo talaga, Mir. Hindi ka parin nagbabago ano?"

"Tse! Maiwan na nga kita dito."

She flipped her hair sabay talikod sakin. Hinila ko naman siya sa bewang paharap sakin tsaka ko ito niyakap ng mahigpit.

"Pero seryoso, namiss kita."

I said truthfully while feeling her warmth.

"I missed you too.."

I heard her whispered. Napangiti nalang ako habang akap akap siya.

"Ako na dito, Mir. Medyo mabigat 'to eh."

Turo ko sa dalawang malalaking maleta ko na punong puno ng mga damit at pasalubong para sakanya at kay Perri.

Nilagay ko na ang mga ito sa trunk ng kotse niya. Out of nowhere I had this crazy idea on my mind.

Hmm maybe next time.. I smirked to my self.

"Balita ko, wala na yung former dominant mo."

Mira said with a teasing smile on her lucious lips. Pinaandar na niya yung kotseng binili siguro niya nuong 1800 pa.

"Yes. She's so abusive. Imagine, she injured my precious face? Gosh, how stupid."

Miranda chuckles. Sinamaan ko naman siya ng tingin.

"Kaya pala mas makapal pa sa foundation cake ang make-up mo."

She said sabay tawa ng malakas.

Pambihirang babaeng 'to. Pinagtawanan ba naman ang make-up ko? I was trying so hard to impress her. Duh!

"I was doing this to impress you, you know."

I said pouting. Miranda suddenly stop laughing.

She cleared her throat then reach for my face caressing my cuts.

"Oh sorry. That looks bad. Gamutin natin mamaya. Ang dami nila."

Tumango tango ako sabag ng malaking ngiti sa labi kong tinignan siya tsaka kinurot ang pisngi niya.

"How are you? Especially your heart?"

Miranda looked at me in shock. But that subsided immediately.

"You remembered?"

I frowned.

"Of course I remembered that you're still brokenhearted because of your ex."

"Do you remember my ex-girlfriend's wife?"

Kahit nagtataka, sumagot parin ako.

"Oo, si Mara Santos. Right? Tama ang pangalan diba? You told me that."

Napakagat ng kuko si Mira. This is her mannerism when she's nervous.

"Ahh yung nararamdaman mo sakanya at ang memories mo sakanya ang nawala."

I glance at her frowning.

"Huh? What did you just say?"

Biglang napatingin si Mira sakin at biglang natarantang ngumiti at binalik ang tingin sa kalsada.

"Ah wala. I'm just thinking about what my friend told me."

"Sinong friend?"

Takang tanong ko.

"Ah wala, hindi mo naman kilala eh. Ah look nandito na tayo!"

Agad siyang lumabas ng kotse leaving me really confuse and amuse at the same time.

What just happened?

Napailing-iling ako sabay tawa ng mahina at lumabas ng kotse para tulungan si Mira sa mga gamit ko.

"Here. This is all yours. Then this one is for Perri."

Turo ko sa isang maleta ko na laman ang mga gifts ko sakanya at sa best friend niyang si Perri.

"Belle, sobrang dami naman nito. I can't--"

Agad kong tinakpan ang bibig niya. I felt her shiver pero baka imagine ko lang yun or what. I chose to let it slide then gave her a sweet smile.

"You deserve this. In fact, I love buying clothes, shoes and bags for my close friends."

Tuluyan ng napangiti si Mira sakin. I can't help it but to pinch her cheeks because of her cuteness.

She's so cute when she smile like that. Yung mararamdaman mo kung gaano siya kabait just because of her smile.

******

Trouble.

   ***

Miranda Santillian. 

6 months ago, Mrs. Hunter De Laurentis inform me about Bellarose's condition. She explains everything to me and she warned me that to never mention Mara's name to her when we met again nor talk again.

And I did my part. Hindi ko lang napigilan yung sinabi ko kani-kanina lang sakanya. Mabuti nalang at nakalusot ako. I was so anxious and nervous at the same time.

Sa ngayon ay pinapanood kong matulog si Bellarose sa tabi ko. She asked me to sleep besides her ng dahil sa kadahilanang hindi daw niya mawari.

Ako alam ko kung bakit. Ganito kasi sila ni Mara dati. Hindi makakatulog si Bellarose kundi katabi si Mara.

At ewan ko kung bakit ko na f-feel ang strange feelings na 'to sa puso ko na parang humahapdi kapag naalala ko silang dalawa ni Bellarose at Mara.

Nawala lang ang tingin ko kay Belle ng tumunog ang phone ko sa night stand table na katabi lang ang bed. I grab it and saw Perri calling.

"Perri?"

"Is she there now?"

I shifted my eyes to the sleeping Bellarose. An involuntary smile form on my lips when I saw how peaceful her sleep was. She really looks like an angel.

"Yes."

Wala sa sariling nasagot ko habang naka ngiti.

"Oh Mir ha. Heads up lang jan sa vixen na katabi mo. Nakalimutan lang ng isip niyan ang tungkol sa ex-girlfriend niya. Pero ang puso niyan, nasa kanya parin."

"Perri, wala naman ako--"

"Hep hep! Just guard your heart, Mir. Tandaan, baka ma MU ka na naman. Muling umasa."

I took a long sighed as I stood up and look outside the window where you can see the shore.

"Oh sige na. Matulog ka na. See you tomorrow."

Napangiti ako ng pilit tsaka hinayaan na siyang patayin ang tawag, binalik ko ang tingin sa labas ng bintana tsaka hinaplos ang dibdib ko kung saan located ang puso ko.

Wag na wag kang titibok sa vixen na babaeng natutulog sa kama mo. Just don't..

Napatingin ako bigla sa umiiyak na Bellarose habang natutulog. Agad akong binalot ng pag-alala at nagmamadaling pinuntahan siya.

"Hey hey hey.. Hush. I'm here. It's just a dream.."

Hinaplos haplos ko ang buhok niya at binigyan siya ng bahagyang ngiti.

Tinitigan niya ako at biglang niyakap dahilan ng pag singhap ko ng mahina.

Napa pikit nalang ako ng maramdaman ang t***k ng puso ko..

"Oh.. I'm in trouble.."
