Chapter 1

"Sino ka ba, babae? Ano'ng kailangan mo? Magpakatao ka naman, sa totoo lang."

Isang hubad na babae ang umakyat sa kama, at nagising si Benedict Capulet, sumisigaw.

Ang babae ay bata pa, maganda, at may napakagandang katawan.

Walang emosyon ang kanyang mukha habang humihiga siya, ibinubuka ang kanyang mga kamay at paa.

Nakakagulat ang kanyang posisyon.

Umatras si Benedict, iniwas ang ulo, at kumaway ng mga kamay, "Pakiusap, huwag mong gawin ito."

"Kung hindi ko gagawin, hindi mo ba ako papatayin? Bilisan mo na at tapusin na natin ito!"

"Bakit ko naman gagawin 'yan?"

"Naglaseng ka. Hindi ba lagi mong binubuksan ang ilaw at ginagawa ito pag-uwi mo? Bakit ka nagpapanggap na disente ngayong gabi?" Ang babae ay mukhang kawawa, tumutulo ang mga luha sa kanyang mukha.

"Walang katotohanan 'yan! Paano ko naman magagawa 'yan?"

Bumagsak si Benedict mula sa kama, umaalon ang kanyang tiyan.

Nagmadali siyang lumabas, tumakbo papunta sa banyo, at nagsuka, pagkatapos ay nagbuhos ng malamig na tubig sa kanyang mukha.

Ang yelong tubig ay nakakakilabot, at bigla siyang natauhan.

"Ano ba ito..."

Tiningnan ni Benedict ang hindi pamilyar na mukha sa salamin.

Ang lalaking nasa salamin ay gusgusin, may makapal na balbas, amoy alak, isang lasing na hindi maayos.

"Hindi ako ito, ito ay..."

Nahilo siya, at dahan-dahang nagtagpo ang mga alaala.

Sa isang internasyonal na cruise, isang world-class na sugal, nanalo siya ng isang daang bilyong dolyar, agad na na-kredito sa kanyang account.

Ngunit siya ay pinagtaksilan, sumabog ang cruise ship, at namatay siya.

Sa araw ng kanyang cremation, ang kanyang fiancée ay umiyak ng todo, nawalan ng malay ng ilang beses.

At siya ay muling nabuhay!

Taglamig ng 2010, sa Newport City, sa katawan ng isang lalaki na nagngangalang Benedict Capulet.

Ang kanyang asawa ay si Bella Forbes, at ang kanyang anak na si Susie Forbes, apat na taong gulang.

Ang Benedict na ito ay isang walang kwenta, nagpapakalulong sa lahat ng bisyo.

Talo siya sa lahat ng sugal.

Nawala ang daan-daang libong dolyar sa cash, sampung bahay, isang villa, tatlong kotse, at lahat ng ari-arian ng kanyang mga magulang.

Nagpakalasing siya, umuwi at nagwala, sinira ang mga gamit, sinaktan ang asawa at anak.

Kailangan niyang buksan ang ilaw para gawin ito, at si Bella ay kailangang mag-posisyon tulad ng ginawa niya kanina.

Kung hindi, papatayin niya ito sa bugbog.

Sa kasamaang-palad, si Benedict ay may matinding hyperactivity, nananatiling balisa ng mahabang panahon pagkatapos uminom.

Si Bella ay pinahirapan hanggang sa gusto na niyang mamatay.

Simula ng ikasal kay Benedict, wala siyang kahit isang araw na mapayapa.

Kung hindi dahil kay Susie, matagal na niyang tinapos ang lahat kasama si Benedict.

Kapag may pera si Benedict, madalas siyang hindi umuuwi, nakikipag-affair sa ibang babae.

Kapag naubos ang pera, umuuwi siya kay Bella. Kung tumanggi ito, binubugbog at minumura niya ito, pati si Susie ay nadadamay.

Kamakailan, nawala pa ang huling dalawang silid-tulugan na lumang bahay.

Bukas, sinabi ng mga nagpapautang na kukunin nila ang titulo ng ari-arian. Kung hindi niya ibibigay, kukunin nila si Bella ng isang buwan.

Si Bella ay kilalang maganda, maraming humahanga.

Pumayag pa si Benedict.

Para sa kanya, si Bella ay parang bangkay. Basta't mapanatili niya ang bahay, maipapautang niya ito at makakapagsugal pa siya ng kaunti.

Ang pagsusugal ay parang adiksyon sa kanya.

Kung hindi siya makapagsugal ng dalawang araw, pakiramdam niya ay miserable siya.

Ngayong hapon, kinuha niya ang huling daang dolyar mula kay Bella at natalo lahat, nagkautang pa ng apat na daang dolyar.

Pagkatapos ng matinding pag-inom, umuwi siya, naghubad, at bumagsak sa kama, lasing na lasing.

"Paano ako, si Benedict, muling isinilang sa ganitong klaseng basura? Karapat-dapat ba siya sa pangalang ito?"

Pinisil ni Benedict ang kanyang hita ng malakas, dumugo, naramdaman ang sakit.

Muli siyang nabuhay, totoo ito.

Nadama niya ang depresyon; isa siyang alamat sa pagsusugal.

Isang top-tier na tycoon, isang hari ng pagsusugal.

Ang kanyang mga koneksyon, kasanayan sa pagsusugal, asal, karisma, at pisikal na kakayahan—paano makakapantay ang dating may-ari ng katawan na ito?

Siya ay mula sa Newport City Orphanage. Iniisip ang kanyang minamahal na fiancée, si Camilla Mellon, na kasama niya sa napakaraming hirap.

Nangako siya na mananalo ng huling beses, pagkatapos ay babalik sa Newport City kasama siya, magreretiro, magpapakasal, magkakaanak, at mamumuhay nang mapayapa.

Pero ngayon, si Camilla at siya ay pinaghiwalay ng buhay at kamatayan.

Naalala niya ang inosenteng si Bella at ang kawawang si Susie sa labas.

Napabuntong-hininga si Benedict at umiling.

"Wala nang balikan."

"Sa buhay na iyon, may isang daang bilyong dolyar si Camilla. Sana maging masaya siya!"

"Sa buhay na ito, nasa high school pa lang dapat si Camilla? Nasaan na kaya siya?"

"Bahala na, tatanggapin ko na lang ang mga bagay-bagay. Malalaman ko rin kung sino ang sumabog sa akin mamaya. Sa ngayon, hindi dapat masyadong maghirap sina Bella at Susie!"

Tinuro ni Benedict ang salamin at napangisi, "Napakasuwerte mo, gago!"

Agad siyang naligo ng malamig, nagsipilyo, naramdaman ang lamig.

Huminto na sa pagbibigay ng init ang bahay dahil sa hindi nabayarang mga bayarin.

Bumalik siya sa kwarto, kung saan nakahiga pa rin si Bella tulad ng dati.

Dahil walang pambayad sa pag-init, parang yelo ang kwarto.

Hindi siya nagtalukbong ng kahit ano, masyadong natatakot, nasa parehong posisyon pa rin.

Nakahiga siya ng tahimik, nakapikit, nanginginig sa lamig, mukhang hindi na parang bangkay.

Hindi naglakas-loob si Benedict na tumingin nang matagal; masakit ang kalagayan ng katawan.

Kawawang Bella, asawa siya ng iba.

Maputla ang mukha niya, puno ng pasa at sugat ang katawan.

Tiningnan ni Benedict ang kanyang mga kamay na medyo payat pa rin.

Sinaktan niya si Bella, sinaktan niya si Susie—anong klaseng lalaki iyon?

Agad siyang tumalikod, binuksan ang aparador, at nagsimulang maghanap.

"Wag ka nang maghanap, wala nang kahit isang kusing sa bahay," umiiyak na sabi ni Bella na puno ng pag-asa.

"Oo, alam ko."

Nahanap ni Benedict ang ilang lumang damit para isuot.

Ang pagiging hubad at pakikipag-ugnayan kay Bella ay isang insulto sa kanya.

Nawala na ang mga magaganda niyang damit at pantalon, kaya't kailangan niyang magtiyaga.

Isang puting kamiseta, isang itim na amerikana, itim na pantalon, halos magamit pa.

Ang dating Benedict ay nakayuko sa taas na 5'7". Ngayon, nakatayo siya nang matangkad sa 5'11".

Bumalik siya sa tabi ng kama, tinakpan si Bella ng kumot.

"Nagtiis ka na. Matulog ka na. Lalabas lang ako sandali," malambing at banayad ang boses ni Benedict.

Nagulat si Bella.

Nagtaka siya kung mali ba ang narinig niya.

Kailan ba nagsalita ng ganito ang gagong ito?

Binuksan niya ang mga mata, nagulat.

Nag-ahit si Benedict, maputla at walang sigla ang mukha, pero medyo gwapo pa rin.

Maayos siyang nakabihis, nakatayo nang matangkad, may dignidad.

Saan siya pupunta?

Sa hirap ng kalagayan niya, may babae pa ba siya?

"Sinong babaeng bulag ang makikipagtalik sa'yo?" malamig na sabi ni Bella, habang muling pumikit.

"Maliban sa'yo, siguro wala na," may bahid ng pagmamahal na sabi ni Benedict.

Bahagyang kumunot ang noo ni Benedict, "Namamaga na ang sugat sa binti at braso mo. May impeksyon ka rin sa ginekolohiya?"

"Ngayon mo lang nalaman? Balak ko sanang magpatingin sa ospital bukas, pero ang pera ko..." mapait ang puso ni Bella, tumulo ang mga luha.

Ang bahagyang amoy ng impeksyon ay nakairita kay Benedict.

Kumuha siya ng tisyu at lumuhod sa tabi ng kama.

Dahan-dahan niyang pinunasan ang luha ni Bella, malambing at banayad na nagsabi, "Pasensya na, magiging maayos ang lahat. Para sa'yo at kay Susie, mananalo ako sa mundo."

Patuloy ang pag-agos ng luha ni Bella, nakapikit ng mahigpit, ayaw makita ang mapagkunwaring mukha.

"Gusto mo pang magsugal, baliw ka na! Wala nang natira sa bahay na ito."

"Oo, wala na akong natira. Pero ang bahay, si Bella, si Susie, hindi pwedeng mawala. Bukod pa riyan, napakaganda mo, at napakacute ni Susie. Hintayin mo ako."

Sa sinabi iyon, inayos ni Benedict ang kumot sa kanya at lumabas.

Nakahiga si Bella nang matagal bago natauhan, tinanggal ang kumot at sinuntok ang kama.

Sumigaw siya sa kawalan ng pag-asa, pighati sa puso.

"Benedict, hayop ka! Hindi ka tao! Hindi ka tao!"

"Ipupusta mo pa ang bahay, ako, at si Susie?"

"Napakabata pa ni Susie, gago ka."

Sa sobrang pighati, nawalan ng malay si Bella.

Still.

Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.

I shouldn’t care.

I don’t care.

It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.

It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.

I’m not here to rescue anyone.

Especially not her.

Especially not someone like her.

She’s not my problem.

And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.

But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.
