He is the loathed enemy
Savage Scoundrel
Alena Fuentabella, held captive by the Savage Scoundrel, or so it seemed, refuses to bow down on Hawk's maneuvers. She will not be his loveslave and she will definitely not be another addition to Hawk's passing fancy.
But that proves to be such a strenuous feat when every time she looks into his smoldering violet eyes, all she wanted to do was to be wrapped in this man's arms forever. The only man that has captured her attention at first sight, her brother's sworn enemy and a man she was not supposed to love...
Enchanting Spitfire
He had a mission to do: To exact his revenge against Alaric Fuentebella, the man who stole his "supposed wife". And the only way he could do that was through Alena, his flame haired spitfire.
He abducted her and made her his woman. Just when he thought that everything was falling into place, his traitorous heart couldn't stop thumping.
Alena managed to get under his skin and he couldn't do anything about it. He was totally defenseless when she was concerned. She was the best thing that ever happened in his life, a panacea for his somber past and the light that guides his future...
Hawk was looking at the photo from his file.
Hindi siya satisfied sa mga naunang pictures na ibinigay sa kanya ng binayaran niyang tao.
Mga stolen shots iyon sa university. Iyong iba, kuha sa isang birthday party ng kaklase nito.
Wala rin itong pictures sa internet. The family’s tech team must’ve erased all her photos.
Pero nakakuha siya ngayon ng mas malinaw at maayos na larawan.
She’s very beautiful. And very sexy too. She has fair skin. Maganda ang mukha nito sa kahit anong anggulo.
Her Filipino heritage made her features soft. More sexually appealing.
Sanay na siyang makakita ng maganda. Pero iba ang babaeng ito. Parang laging may sinasabi kapag tumingin.
She was born in the US, but she has a Filipino upbringing.
His source did several interviews with her school mates.
School bahay ang routine. She prefers books over luxury bags or shoes, the source informed him.
He smiled secretly. Hmm… we had something in common after all.
Hindi niya maintindihan ang sarili. Naririto siya ngayon sa sariling sasakyan, staring at her photo. Nangingiti siyang mag isa.
He knew he looked like an idiot, but this woman is something. Buhay na buhay ang dugo niya sa tuwing maiisip ang babaeng ito.
Masarap itong humalik!
She’s condescending. Mayaman, may business empire, napakaganda… pero mailap ito sa ibang tao.
Social na Anti-social.
Sabi sa interview ng mga imbestigador niya, hindi ito sumasama o nakikipag usap sa hindi nito lubos na pinagkatiwalaan.
Kaya siguro nagkaroon siya ng curiousity kay Alena.
He thought it’s going to be difficult. Pero tila umaayon sa kanya ang pagkakataon.
He was about to walk away and continue working at the Bureau.
Naisip niya, kung nasa bureau siya, makakasilip siya ng ibang paraan para maka amanos kay Alaric Fuentabella.
Pero bigla niyang nakita si Alena. Hindi sa kanya mahirap lapitan si Alena. She’s friendly and she has a warm personality.
Na pinagtataka niya. Bakit ito nakipag usap sa kanya, gayong siya ang pinakahuling taong maari nitong pagkatiwalaan.
Hindi niya akalain na magiging mas madali ang pag ganti niya sa mga taong nag alis sa kanya ng dignidad.
Alena is armed with bodyguards whenever she travels to Mexico and the Philippines.
She can roam freely here in the United States and London.
Mas madali sa kanya ang lumapit rito dahil narito ito sa US ngayon.
Looking at her picture now, ah he can’t wait.
Sorry baby… damay ka lang. But you will enjoy your time with me.
He was about to start his car ignition but he heard a notification. He looked at his device.
She’s here.
Of all places doon pa talaga sa puntahan niyang bookstore ito nagpunta.
Coincidence?
He saw her silver mustang parked a few meters away. Nakita niya na bumaba sa passenger seat ang isang lalaki.
Hindi mukhang bodyguard.
He must be a boyfriend.
He was about to help Alena, but she saw her giggling and mouthed “Ako na.”
He offered his arm like a gentleman and Alena held his arm.
He felt like hell! He wanted to wring the guy’s neck at that moment. Napakabilis niya lang magagawa na patayin ito. And no one would notice.
Damn, where did that come from? Bakit siya nagseselos?
That poor clueless guy had no idea that he would be dead at any moment.
Hindi siya ganito sa mga naging relationships niya.
Ni wala siyang balak gawing girlfriend si Alena!
Not that he didn’t like her, but he wanted something else from her.
He wore his shades before leaving his pickup truck.
He entered the book shop. It was a huge bookstore. About four storeys. Kahit malaki ang store na iyon, madali sa kanya na hanapin si Alena.
Without his tracking device from his wrist watch, he could sense her everywhere.
He could feel her presence, he could smell her.
Nag iisa itong tao sa mundo na may ganoong bango. She smells like powdery floral with a hint of sweet vanilla almond.
He knew that perfume, pero iba kapag kay Alena. Her scent was enchanting, like her beauty.
Her beauty makes his loins on fire. He was having a hard-on when she was around.
Maybe he never had a woman for some time. He’s been celibate for a year.
But not for long.
Nakita niya ang lalaki na mag isa sa ibaba. He was at the coffee lounge, with his laptop.
Knowing Alena, she prefers to be alone in places like this. Baka nagpilit lang talaga na sumama ang boyfriend nito.
Sa dami ng tao roon, alam na alam niya kung alin ang amoy ni Alena. Kahit siguro nakapikit siya, kayang kaya niyang mahanap si Alena.
He found her at the shelf for romance books. He smiled secretly. He knew he would find her here.
Sumandal siya sa isang shelf, he pretended to be busy. But he couldn’t stand not to look at her.
Her auburn curls cascaded down her back, leaving her looking stunning. Perched atop her head were her sunglasses, while she wore a yellow summer dress with a cardigan.
He longed to place his hands on her slim waist, finding her incredibly attractive. She appeared like a goddess in her long attire. If she's a goddess, then he willingly surrenders his soul, for he is merely a mortal entranced by her beauty.
Sa malamlam na liwanag ng buwan, maganda ito. Pero mas higit na napakaganda sa liwanag.
She always stood out among many people around her. Kahit siguro ilagay ito sa milyong tao, kayang kaya niyang makita ito agad.
He heard her gasping when he looked at her from the partition of the shelf.
“You.” she said in a whisper.
His eyes locked hers when he came to her. Nabitawan nito ang paperback na hawak nito. He smiled secretly. She is affected by his nearness.
“Coincidence? Or you’re following me?”
“Both.” he said simply. He towered over her and she leaned against the shelf. He was so close to her that their lips almost touched.
Hindi matao sa parte na iyon. It’s only her and him.
“Coincidently, I saw you entering this place with your boyfriend…” he came to her and trapped her on the bookshelf. “Then I followed you here.”
“B-Boyfriend?”
He frowned.
“It doesn’t matter, Alena.” You belong to me.
Hindi maintindihan ni Alena kung saan nakahugot ng lakas ang mga binti niya kaya kaagad siyang nakalayo sa lalaking pangahas!
Her feet took her to the other book aisle. She found herself leaning against the tall bookshelf. Thank God he didn’t follow her here.
She needs to catch her breath.
Hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit lagi silang nagkikita sa hindi inaasahan na pagkakataon. Lalo na at kasama niya si Ryan. He said it was a coincidence.
But nah. She won’t buy that. It feels like he’s been watching her from day 1.
Stalking is a crime.
Pero…
Hindi niya maramdaman na may mali sa mga pagkakataong nagkikita sila. Hindi niya rin maramdaman na hindi siya safe. It supposed to be a red flag. But odd.
Parang…
Gusto niya itong makita ng paulit ulit pa. Hindi ba hiniling niya na sana ay magkita pa sila?
At hindi siya nito gagawan ng masama.
“You know I won’t hurt you Alena.”
His voice came from the other side of the shelf where she stood. How was he able to read her thoughts?
Mula sa shelf, hinawi niya ang mga libro na pumapagitan sa kanila. Naglikha iyon ng lampasang butas kung saan kita niya ito. He was leaning on it. Katapat niya. He was sideways, pretending to be skimming pages of the book he was holding.
“I know.” she answered softly. She smiled silently. Here’s the handsome macho dude, skimming the pages of romance novel books. As if he popped out of it.
Napansin niya na nilingon ito ng ilang kadalagahan na napadaan doon. They both giggled and swoon.
Ah hindi lang pala siya nag iisip na parang lumitaw ito sa page ng romance novel book.
He knew she was looking at him from the shelf partition. But he never looked at her.
“You’re chickening out now, my princess?”
She frowned as she peered at the shelf. He was smiling while looking at the book he was skimming.
“No!” she said defiantly.
Mula sa siwang ng hinawi niyang mga libro sa shelf, tumingin din ito sa kanya. She swallowed hard when their eyes met.
He has the most beautiful pair of eyes she had ever seen. They were blue with violet flecks of it.
Ano bang meron ang lalaking ito at bigla siyang tinubuan ng anxiety.
His broad shoulders and muscled torso were against the shelf.
He had his wolf cut shoulder length hair tied up in leather, leaving some strands fell off his face.
“Bakit mo ako sinusundan?”
“You’re really asking me that, Alena?”
“You should have asked me out instead of you following me around!”
He chuckled. Nakakapikon talaga ang lalaking ito. Alam niyang Amerikano ito at di alam ang tamang proseso sa isang dalagang Filipina.
But he’s still a Cherokee Indian. At alam niya na uso pa rin sa kanila ang ligawan ng tulad sa Filipino!
“May bahay ako.” Mataray na sabi niya. “Nasundan mo nga ako dito, kaya huwag kang gagawa ng excuse na hindi mo alam kung saan ako umuuwi!”
“Would you allow me to take you home?” He spoke softly to her.
When she didn’t say anything, he continued. His eyes caressed her face. “Would you come if I ask you for a date?”
At bakit naman siya papayag agad?
She bit her lower lip. Her thoughts were jumbling. His gaze is putting her in trance. Nawawala ang rasyonal niyang isipan.
“See? Now you know.” he said to her without taking his eyes off her.
“Hindi naman sa ganoon—”
“I miss you.” he said in a whisper. But she heard him loud and clear.
She gasped. Really?
Before she knew it, he was in front of her when she looked up. She swallowed hard when she met his gaze.
Hindi na niya kaya pang makontrol ang kaba niya habang malapit ito.
