Episode 4: Escaped

Singko's POV.

I was jolted awake from my sleep the next morning from a nightmare. I've never had a nightmare like that. A nightmare I've never experienced in my entire life.

"Fuck! Having rough and wild sex in my dream." I said while ruffling my hair.

But why does it seem so real. Seems very real that it brings down shivers into my spine and a massive boner early in the morning.

I quickly looked around the room that served as a place for my dream. And I almost couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Scattered part of the bed that was almost destroyed, clothes torn. As I remember in my dream.

I even raised my hand and saw a handcuff tear apart. He looked like a bracelet in both of my hands.

"Shit!!" I cursed to death ng maalala ko lahat Ever since I passed the woman on the side of the road I staggered. It's not a freaking dream

How she undressed herself in front of me drunk. How I brought her to this resort owned by my cousin and how She gave me a preposition.

"Fuck!! Its not a fucking dream!! Hell!!" I shouted as I hurriedly left the bed naked and headed for the bag I brought yesterday when I came here.

I even looked for the key for the handcuff and I cursed even more because I couldn't Find it.

"Where the fuck are you?" I was looking for the key in the bag. "Damn!!" Next I went to the other bag near the door of the cottage I was renting and gasped when I saw the key.

I hastily approached the table next to the bed. It can hardly be called a table anymore. Shit! How wild did we do it?

I asked myself while picking up my phone which I am so thankful that the woman didn't take away.

I quickly turned on the phone and swiped to unlock and I almost couldn't believe what I saw when my phone opened.

Her face is smiling on the camera. But it seems so fake. Because of her eyes there is no sign of life. The next thing that pops up on my phone screen is a note.

I quickly opened it hoping it was a job but it's not. Just a reminder.

I still took a mission even though I left just to remove my boredom. And hell!! I hurriedly took a set on my bed not wearing anything and read the reminder on my phone screen.

Reminder: I leave a recording on your phone. Hear it when you're awke.

P.S: hope to see you again. Pregnant or not, I need to leave you behind. See you soon Hero.

I did a quick tap on my phone screen and went to the file manager and looked for the file of recording.

And I didn't have a hard time finding it because there was only one recording.

I quickly open the file which is almost 30 minutes long.

"I...ahm.." Her voice. A voice that is far from the voice of the person I spoke to yesterday. "I am Drake Imarie Andria Natalie Ivancov. I've been known for my name Diana, 30 years old. Daughter of the number 1 drug lord. Known for his name Blade. And I hate him..no..scratch that..I loathed him to death." And she paused and let out a deep sign. "I've been living in hell for almost 20 years. Creating drugs that will please him, my Father. Drugs that he can sell billions. My dad doesn't know my latest Creation, Pleasure. And hoping he will never have it. I've been running for almost a year now." Diana

My eyebrows almost met when I heard that I stopped the recording temporarily. She's been running away from his dad for a year? Alone? To hide her latest drug creation? Fuck! What does it mean?

And then I click play again to continue.

"Running away from my Dad. Thanks you." And she paused for a moment. Is she talking to me or someone else. A moment later she started talking again.

"8 years ago. I was confined in a laboratory. I seldom eat, drink and sleep. Fathers command. He wants me to create drugs. Create and create." I click pause again and start thinking.

8 years ago I raided a laboratory. So it's really her. Lahat ng sinabi niya sa akin totoo. How much she changed. That day she's just a girl to be patted and almost blown away by the wind because of her thinness.

And then I click play again. I have to listen a little longer.

"All he knows is me creating drugs not his daughter. Not a daughter but a tool he can use. I used to have a father. A father I can't tell if he really is my father. I loathed him to death. And then again, thanks to you. I got the strength to escape and run away from him. Hey! Hero!! You've been my strength all those years I've been captured again by my father. I am sorry for tainting you. My hands are not clean. I kill, I sell drugs, I torture people. You can despise me, curse at me to death. But for now, let me have the chance to thank you and apologize to you. Thank you for being my hero, for the wonderful memory last night. Thank you for saving my life and I apologized for everything." My whole body almost went weak when I heard her sobbing as she spoke. A sob that turned into a whimper.

That pain she has, and what she did yesterday is against her will. And I am so fucking stupid for fucking diverginize her it a rough way. So idiot of me.

I almost broke my phone screen from what I heard.

"The next time I see you. Don't hesitate to kill me. My death in your hand is the only thing I want. I'd rather die in your hand than my fathers hand. After my death. A wonderful gift will appear in your doorway. A gift that will surely make you happy." Fuck!! What gift? Damn it! What's with the fucking five minutes that is left.

She's not even talking for the next two minutes. Why not fucking talk.

After two minutes of not talking. She started talking again.

"You've been trapped in my game hero. As long as I live. The game will never end and you can't escape. I like you.. No..scratch that..I've been loving you since the day I saw you. And I escaped from my father just to find you." And the three minutes ended.

"Fuck!! Where's next? Damn it!!" I tried to find anything else aside from that recording. But neither one saw anything instead, a picture appeared on my screen. It's been emailed to my address.

Four minutes ago.

A picture of her kissing me on my lips, crying.

"Fuck!!" I face palm from the extreme frustration I felt after hearing that.

"Fuck you Blad. I'll fucking make sure to fucking find you. People like you don't deserve to live."

I hurriedly stood up and picked up the towel and wrapped it around my waist. And walked out of my cottage and quickly went in my car, opened the apartment and picked my things up.

A heavy bag.

"It's time for me to work." I usually carry two large bags at the same time.

I even met my cousin who was with me in the military while I was still in the SEALs.

"Hey bud!!" Uno

We've been named by numbers. And his name is Uno. Mine is Singko. And expect that there will be Dos, Tres, and Kwatro more.

"Hey!" My short answer.

"What's with that outfit? A towel? You OK bud?" he asked

I just nodded and passed him and he just followed me. It was obvious from the surprise on his face that the interior of the cottage I was occupying would be destroyed.

"What happened here?" he asked

"Some minor problems." My answer

"So care to explain. Where is your wife anyways? I saw her running early this morning crying. Did you two fight?" He asked one question after another

"She's not my wife. I have never been married. I don't even have flings nor a girlfriend Bud." I answered at the same time dropping two bags on the bed.

"W-wait!! What did you just say? N-not your wife?" He asked in confusion as I put my things in two large bags.

"She's not my wife." I sighed again and repeated my answer.

"But you said she is your wife." Uno

"Now Not anymore. Real quick right? And how can she be my wife? She's Diana after all."

"Diana who?" Uno asked while sitting on the floor after kicking the broken wood from the bed.

I quickly threw my phone at him, showing Diana's pictures and the recording on it.

"Listen to that recording and you'll find out." I told him softly while assembling my things.

Laptops for hacking, guns, knives, granade, and more. And picked up the broken bed parts and piled them to one side.

"S-say what!! She's Diana Ivancov? The girl we saved from the raid 8 years ago? The sick lady who's making drugs." He asked me in shock.

"She is. The time she calls me Hero brings shiver down into my spine. And that was yesterday. I was going here when I passed him on the way. Staggered. I was about to pass her when she called me.. I mean shouted at me. You know I can't say no, Uno. I have this soft spot when it comes to vulnerable women." I explain.

One of my weaknesses is the woman who can't protect herself.

"You mean, you are Whatever. You should have known her. I thought you can't forget her face, but why?" He asked me again.

I let out a heavy sighn. I lowered my gun and faced him.

"She's not the girl I know 8 years ago. OK? She gained weight. She's now near perfection but not that perfect." As I started talking and explaining myself to him.

"Because she's tainted with blood?" He asked while throwing my phone back at me that I just let the bed catch.

"We both know she's a victim too. Just like your mother. You can't blame her. She's been living her life in hell. In order to survived, she needs to kill, torture people and destroy peoples life. Its not like you didn't kill and torture people for your own satisfaction." Uno

I shook my head one after another.

"Bud, I know deep inside you. You care for her. I can see it through your eyes. That's my face and looks when I care for my wife." Uno

I quickly looked up and met his gaze at the last thing he said.

"Wife? You have a wife?" I ask him

"Yes. I have. Sorry for not telling you.I just don't want her to get hurt. She was saved by her too. The girl is named Diana. The day we raid the lab. I saw her. Diana I am pertaining. Diana is not as bad as what you think. Diana risks her life in return for my wife's life. Maybe that's why you can't find him after the raid. It's because I saw her exchange her body for my wife's life." Uno explained.

I clenched my fist at what I heard. How can she do it? She must have saved her life.

"Diana is not as bad as you think she is. She is the most fragile woman. Who needs to be protected and saved from her father. No wonder I saw him yesterday she looks familiar to me." Uno

"Maybe it's time for you to save someone. No..maybe it's time for you to save her real this time. Be trapped in her game. It's not like she meant what she did. A woman who did such a thing won't cry her heart out. And will never confess. Be her hero, or rather play her Game. Be one of the chess pieces and bring her back." Uno

"I have to go. My wife is waiting for me. By the way, protect her well. And I am willing to help." Uno and then walked out of the cottage I was renting.

I just followed the moving bulk of his body.

"Right. Save her again. " I took a deep breath.

"But where to fucking start?!!" I was annoyed while picking up a pillow and a rock.

Damn it!! I wish it was that easy. The case is No.

"Diana!! Damn you!!"

Never in my life have I been so frustrated.

Fuck it!!
