Celene POV
I got stuck at the pool not knowing what to do. I wanted to run away from him but I couldn't move my body. It momentarily paralyzed dahil sa sobrang panlalamig at dahil na rin siguro sa nagagalit na Ace ngayon.
"Aren't you cold sister? Get out of the pool already" ani Cerene sa akin na maarteng nag-aalala. She keeps on glancing at Ace like she's expecting to happen. 
I scan the whole area for a possible way to get away from them but damn.. I couldn't see a way. 
"You will get out of the pool yourself or I will drag you out of it, Celene" malamig na sabi ni Ace.
My god! I'm already shivering from staying too long in the pool and there he is..adding another shiver to my already cold body.
"Why are you mad? Did I do something wrong?" maang maangan kong tanong. But seriously, I don't know why he is reacting this way.
"Just get out of the pool or I will get you out myself.. And trust me, you will not going to like it" banta na naman nito. Nakita ko kung paano nanlaki ang mata ni Cerene sa banta niya kaya medyo natakot din ako.
I wanted to get out already.. I'm shivering but seeing him angry made me scared. Baka katapusan ko na kapag lumapit pa ako sa kanya.
Tumalikod ako para makalayo. I'll just take the opposite way to get away from them. Pero bigla akong nabaling sa likod ko nang may marinig kong nahulog sa pool. Nanlalaki at nag papanik ako nang makitang lumalangoy na papalapit si Ace sa kinaroroonan ko. 
I froze. Damn body.. Huli na ang lahat ng magawa kong kumilos. He's already in front of me. I screamed when I felt him carried me in a bridal style. 
"Let me go" I yelled and  wiggled. Pero he's too strong na hindi ko man lang magawang makaalis sa pagkakabuhat niya sa akin. 
We're creating a commotion for goodness sake! People are staring at us like we're the most interesting people they've seen. 
"Sorry about that. It just a fight between husband and wife" Natatawa na pahayag ni Vince sa mga taong nakikichismis sa nangyayari. 
Asshole! Husband and wife? 
I can feel the anger radiating from Ace. Kaya kahit laking kahihiyan na ang nangyayari ay wala na akong nagawa. He carried me all throughout my cabin.  Dammit! 
Pagkarating namin ay agad niya akong hinulog sa kama. Buti na lang talaga at malambot ito! 
"Change your clothes" utos niyang galit. I saw how he clenched his jaw, his Adam apple moved from his throat.
I glare at him. He hissed but then naglakad siya palabas ng cabin. 
Thank goodness! I don't think I can deal with his anger. He is just too scary when he's angry.  
Kinalkal ko ang bag ko at agad nagpalit. I dried my hair and then threw my body in bed. The cabin has two bed and a bathroom. Speaking of two, It's been thirty minutes at hindi parin dumarating ang magaling kong kapatid. Where is she? 
Napabangon ako ng marinig ko ang pagbukas ng pintuan. Natuptup ko ang labi ko. I was about to snarled since I'm expecting Cerene pero iba ang dumating. Si Ace ito na may dalang pagkain at isang bag.  Agad nangunot ang noo ko. 
"What are you doing here?" pagalit kong tanong. And since it's his nature to ignore me, tuloy tuloy lang ang lakad nito palapit sa akin. 
Nilapag nito ang pagkain sa side table ng kama. "Eat... I'll just wash" suplado niyang sabi. 
Napataas ang kilay ko sa narinig "Excuse me?" hindi makapaniwala na untas ko. He didn't look back and went straight to the bathroom. 
The hell is wrong with him? 
I smelled the food.. I was starving and I couldn't ignore my stomach na kanina pa umaangal.. kaya kumain ako. Hypocrite!
Nangangahalati na ako sa pagkain ng bumukas ang bathroom. And goodness! Muntik na akong mabulunan. Buti na lang at may tubig sa tabi ko. 
"Didn't you know the manners of getting dressed first before going out of the bathroom? Considering that there's a girl in the room?" irritated kong baling dito. How could he go out in just a towel? 
As always he ignored me and just smirked. Walang hiya talaga! How could he dress in front of me? 
Hanggang sa matapos akong kumain ay andidito parin siya. Nanliliit na mata ko siyang binalingan as he starts to open his laptop. Nakasandal na rin siya sa katabing kama ko.
I cleared my throat. "Excuse me. You can leave now? I'm already done eating and I'm going to sleep. Cerene will be here any minute now" pagtataboy ko dito. If he's going to work, why can't he just leave? Why open his laptop here? 
He chuckled.
I grimace as I ignore him. I immediately texted my sister. 
[where the hell are you? Punta ka na dito sa cabin dahil andidito si Ace!! ASAP!!] I texted 
Hindi nagtagal ay nakareply din ito. 
[SORRY.. I can't sleep there.. Knight strictly informed me not to disturb you guys.. :)] - she replied immediately. 
Nangunot ang noo ko sa nabasa. 
"What exactly did you tell Cerene?" agap kong tanong. Nag-iinit na ang ulo ko. Bakit parang iba ang iniisip ng kapatid ko? 
Bumaling ito sa akin with his smirk. "That she can't disturb us" my brow shot up as I waited for other things he'd say. 
"That's it?" Hindi makapaniwala na tanong ko. 
"Yes baby.. Did you expect more?" nanunuya niyang tanong. 
Ibinato ko sa kanya ang unan ko. "Well, I don't care what you told her... Just get out of here" naiinis kong sabi. 
Itinabi niya lang ang unan sa gilid niya. He then clenched his jaw and I mentally panicked. How could I forget that he's angry earlier! 
But for the sake of my peace, I still want him gone. "You know that you can't sleep here right?. We're not married" pagbubugaw ko ulit dito. 
He's now facing his laptop and he's mad. 
"We can get married anytime you want if that's what it takes to sleep with you" he said. 
The hell! Natuptup ko ang labi ko when I saw he's not smirking or he didn't look like joking. He can't be serious right? 
Out of frustration, ibinato ko sa kanya ang pangalawa kong unan. This time nasangga niya at itinabi sa gilid nito. I know he's mad but I'm thankful he's not directing it to me. 
Nasabi ko na ang pwede kong sabihin para mapalabas ito pero walang epektibo. Hindi ko alam kung mapapalabas ko pa ba ito ng cabin. So, might as well matulog na lang. He seems not interested to what I'm blabbing... I'm just wasting my time! 
Mahihiga na sana ako ng makitang wala pala akong unan. "Could you pass me my pillows?" 
Binalingan ako nito "You have hands to do that" iritado niyang sabi. I rolled my eyes. Can he just give it to me and not make a big deal out of it?
Padabog akong tumayo at kinuha ang unan sa gilid niya. Dinampot ko ang mga ito pero bago pa ako makaalis ay hinila ako nito sa kama. Agad akong napahiga at agad din itong pumaibabaw ito sakin. 
I screamed loudly. I tried to get away but he pinned my hands above my head and my legs between his. 
"Let me go" I shrieked. I was so wrong when I thought he would not direct his anger at me. 
How naive! 
"Who's that man?" galit niyang tanong. I know he's talking about Nate but he should not care. He's not my boyfriend for god sake! 
"You don't care" I snapped.
"Who is that f**king man.. Celene?" he roared. The fact na nakadagan ito sa akin and I'm so vulnerable at the moment.. I started to panicked.
I tried pushing him pero hindi ko man lang magalaw ang katawan ko.
God!  At this rate, I'm just exhausting my body, for trying to get away. 
"Fine.. Let's talk calmly and rationally" pag kalma ko dito. My heart starts to pound endlessly. 
"Talk" he demanded.
I laughed nervously. "Yes.. I will talk.. You get yourself out of me first" now that I'm tired, I started to feel uncomfortable. I just wish no one will see us in this position. Nag-iinit  ang mukha ko because of unknown reason.  Bakit bigla na lang uminit? 
"We can talk like this" 
Ang lapit-lapit ng mukha niya sa mukha ko tapos sasabihin niyang we can talk like this? I can't talk like this for god sake! Naamoy ko ang scent niya and it makes me want him. Naaakit ako sa amoy niya.
Iniwas ko ang mukha ko sa kanya. Napapalunok na lang ako ng wala sa oras. 
"I'm waiting" impatient niyang sabi. 
"He's Nate. I don't know how to swim and  he helped me. That's all! .. Now get out of me" 
"Why did you allow him to touch you?" 
God! Help me. He's acting like a possessive husband. 
"Let's not make it a big deal ok? And why do you care? You're not even my boyfriend" 
He snorted.  "So you're allowed to be jealous and I'm not huh?" panunuya nito.
"I was never jealous! And why would you be jealous? Do you like me?" inis kong tanong. I'm so defensive when he's accusing me of being jealous..  Truth can be stung!
He didn't answered but he smirk. Umalis siya sa pagkakadagan sa akin at ipinagpatuloy ang ginagawa nito sa laptop. He's back on ignoring me. 
What a bipolar! 
Agad akong tumayo at kinuha ang dalawang unan ko. I slid in my bed at nagtaklob ng kumot. 
Nakakahiya. I can hear him chuckling habang nakataklob ako ng kumot. 
"So Celene, How did you two met?" Danica ask bitterly. Nakaharap siya sa salamin and she is applying some lipstick. We're currently in ladies comfort room. Nabigla na lang ako paglabas ko ng cubicle ay nandito na siya. 
I sighed. 
This will be our first time to converse after the incident yesterday. I don't know if I'm going to apologize or what? Was it my fault I felt jealous and stormed out? 
"He's one of my colleague in medical school" 
Binilisan ko ang paglilinis ng kamay ko. I don't want to get involved in a girl fight. Kinakabahan ako dahil from the look Danica is giving me, she's ready to make an argument and I'm not! 
"Ohh, are you in a hurry? Too bad I intended to have an intense fight" 
She put down her lipstick and immediately locked the door. She then faced me with her blazing glare. 
She smiled evilly. "You slut.. How dare you seduce Knight? I thought you're this kind of pure woman?" she trailed off as she laughed sarcastically. "You know what, before you start hanging out with us, you should have first informed us that you are slut" 
Her words stung! I felt my eyes swell as the tears  started to form. I never experienced having an enemy so I don't know what's to react. 
"I never seduced Knight Ok? In fact I'm trying to stay away from him" I counter, trying my best not to get my tears rolled down. 
She didn't listen though. Her mind is clouded with evil and vengeance. 
Is she this desperate for Ace? 
Lumapit siya sa akin at pinagsasampal ako. Not just twice but five times. It was all so sudden kaya hindi ako nakagakaw. I didn't expect she could do this! She's Cerene's friends so I expected she'll be good to me! 
Napanganga na lang ako sa ginawa niya. 
"Will you please please Stop!" sigaw ko dito. My face started to sting and my tears start to pour out. 
I tried pulling her hair pero agad ko itong nabitawan. Pero maybe I gave her an idea kasi she grabbed my hair instead and smashed my head in the near door with full force. 
That's hurt..
I heard a loud bang and in an instant, I felt a liquid gushing out of my head. My sight starts to be blurry as my surroundings start to spin. I felt an excruciating pain in my head.
Danica shriek ng makita niya ang dugo sa kamay niya at binitawan ako kaagad. Napagiwang giwang ako as if I'm not capable of controlling my body. And then the next thing I know, I fall hard on the floor!
Kumalabog ang pinto at agad din itong bumukas. I saw my sister gaped seeing me. I saw how Ace grabbed Danica. He has the look of someone ready to murder and I'm just so thankful I'm not the person he's ready to strike. 
Danica tried to get away but failed.. 
Nakita ko din kung paano inawat ni Vince si Ace sa possibly nitong gawin. 
My sister started to cry hysterically. 
I just stare at them like I was watching a movie. Just staring, I couldn't processed what's happening. I think I even lost my capability of process information. 
That's the last thing I saw before darkness consumed me.

    This is one of the best story I've ever read here, so far! I love how the story was made- not exaggerating nor too plain, the kind of plot I'm looking for. There's also consistency from how the characters were introduced until the end. There are some flaws, but it's not really visible. All in all, the story is well-written. I've just finished the book, and although I'm quite "bitin", I'm still satisfied. Thank you author, and may you keep making good works like this. More power🔥
