Special Chapter II slowly open my left eye only to be greeted by a cold and silent room. I stretched my arms and I felt the coldness of the sheets against my skin.Tuluyan na akong naggising at bumangon. Pagkalingon ko sa gilid ay wala na ang dalawa. Napasimangot ako at nilibot ang tingin sa boung kuwarto. Napangiti ako nang umihip ang mabining hangin mula sa labas ng bintana.Dahan-dahan akong bumangon at lumabas ng kuwarto. Naglalakad pa lang ako sa hagdanan ay naririnig ko na ang hagikhik ni Lauren na nagpangiti sa akin.Natagpuan ko silang dalawa ni Wyatt sa couch ng sala na naglalaro. Nakaupo si Lauren sa paanan ni Wyatt at inaangat naman ni Wyatt ang paa niya na parang seesaw. Pinagkrus ko ang braso ko at nakangiti silang pinagmamasdan."Again! Again!" Tuwang-tuwa saad ni Lauren nang itigil n

Epilogue 1.5While reading happily of a contract despite of the headaches it gave me last time. A loud knock outside my office and the harsh noise from the door caught my attention. A raging mad Fred barge in."Do you really think you already knew her Wyatt?!" He burst."What?" I confusedly ask him."She's with a lot of old men, Wyatt. Don't turn a blind eye here. Do you really think that she's the woman you think she is?""What are you talking about Fred?" I tried to clam down but I'm slowly losing my patience here."She's a wh*re! She's nothing bu—" before he could even finish his words, I punch him right into his face. He lay down on the floor because of the impact of my punch."Don't you dare insult her again

Epilogue 1.4You've really got it bad this time, Wyatt.I bit my lip as I'm looking at my cellphone. What should I do? What is she doing right now? Oh God! I'm gonna die thinking what's going on here.I stood up which caught Christian's attention. He immediately went to me."Ready the private plane," I said then left the room.Mabilis akong nakauwi ng Pilipinas at hindi na tinapos ang pinunta ko sa ibang bansa. Closing ceremony na lang naman bukas at pasasalamat sa mga dumalo kaya hindi na necessary na pumunta pa ako. Besides, Christian already know what to do.I'm really glad that I have a spare key of her apartment. I swiftly went inside without any problem. It felt like all of my shouldered responsibility lessen the moment I saw h

Epilogue 1.3Funny Wyatt, you also see her that way right?"The next time you spit those words again, I'm gonna kill you!" Banta ko sa kaniya bago kami tuluyang umalis.Eloise is giving me a lot of feelings even I couldn't recognized. So when she treated my wounds, I lost it. I wanted to hunt those men who took advantage of her. I wanted to give them what they deserve.The days that we're apart, I thought that I would really get over her. But I just found myself knocking into her apartment and getting close to her. Each day, the feelings feels so strange. It was a good yet threatening feelings that might drown me one day. Eloise is the only woman who could make me feel this way and I hate how could she make drool over her.I even followed in her workplace if it wasn't for an important me

Epilogue 1.2 "Sir?" Gulat niyang tanong sa akin. "I can take care of myself Christian. I've been here before. Just hand me the keys," I answered. He hesitantly give me the keys. Mabilis naman akong pumunta sa kotse at pumasok sa loob. I turned on the headlights before I drove it away. While I'm on my way, I received a call from Tito Raymundo. I connected the call in a bluetooth earpiece. I focused on driving the car while answering his call. "Yes Tito?" I answered. "Where are you hijo? Nasundo mo na ba siya?" Sagot niya sa kabilang linya. Muntikan ko nang mabangga ang sasakyan dahil sa pagkabigla. Itinigil ko ang sasakyan sa gilid ng sasakyan para makausap siya ng maayos.

Epilogue 1.1 "What are you talking about Doc?" My father asked the doctor curiously. I just stayed lying on my bed while still feel dizzy because of all the antibiotics that have been injected to me today. I can't even bat my eyelashes or even lift my finger because of loss of strength. "We need to occur an operation as quickly as possible to..." I don't know what the doctor said after that because I fell asleep. I woke up the next day and saw my mom crying in my father's arm. My heart ache terribly that day. God knows how many times I prayed that I won't wake up anymore so that my mom won't be this hurt. God knows how I badly want to just end this to stop my suffering and my parent's too. We just recently found out about my heart condition and it immediatel

Chapter 12.2Bumuka ang bibig ko para sana ipaintindi pa sa kaniya ang gusto kong sabihin but Dad beat me to it. "Hayaan mo, Victoria." Napalingon kaming dalawa ni mommy sa kaniya. He's now sipping his wine. But I can see it, he's mad. Like raging mad right now. "Christopher..." "Kailan ba nakinig sa atin ang batang 'yan? Noon pa man ay sinasaway na tayo. She doesn't care about the company or about this family. She's that selfish that she only think about what she wants to do. Hayaan mo siya sa gusto niya." His words dripped like an acid in my throat. Sumikip ang dibdib ko sa sinabi niya. So now I'm not only a disappointment? But selfish too? L"Christopher, don't say that. She's still our daughter." "Magiging anak ko lang 'yan kung makikinig na siya sa atin. When she's still this stubborn and selfish, I'd rather have no daughter at all. I didn't raise an ungrateful brat." Napakurap-kurap ako. He stood up and left. Napabuntonghininga si mommy sa tabi ko. "I'm sorry about your

Chapter 12.1Halos alas dose na kami nakauwi galing sa party kagabi. Wala naman akong ginawa boung gabi kung hindi ang umupo at makinig, pero ramdam ko 'yong pagod ko mula ulo hanggang paa. Sagad sa buto. Mabuti na lang at may lakas pa akong magbihis at magtanggal ng make-up bago nakatulog. Nabawi ko naman ang lakas ko kinabukasan dahil napahaba ang tulog ko. Halos lunch na ako naggising. I don't know kung pinatawag ako sa breakfast kanina o hinayaan na lang nila ako. Kumunot ang noo ko nang di mahanap ang cellphone. I looked for it inside the purse I used last night. Na-lowbatt. Ngayon ko pa lang icha-charge magmula nang dumating ako. After that, I decided to take a long shower to refresh my mind and think all of these. Habang naliligo ay iniisip ko ang dapat kong gawin. Should I go back to Amsterdam now? Napapikit ako nang maalalang may project pa pala akong naiwan do'n. Nawala 'yon sa isip ko dahil sa dami ng mga nangyari. Hindi rin naman tumawag sa akin si Miss Natalie tungkol

Chapter 11.2Gusto kong itama ang mga sinabi ni mommy pero hindi ko ginawa. Itinago ko ang nakakuyom kong kamay mula sa mga mata nila. I remain my beautiful and soft smile on my face. I can't show them my true emotions right now. "Really? My daughter also travels a lot. Might as well—" "Good evening ladies and gentlemen!" Lahat kami ay napatingin sa stage. I never felt so relieved ever since I came here. That emcee just saved me from an endless questioning. "We'll go to our table now. We'll see you around." Pagkatapos nilang magpaalam ay hinanap na namin ang table namin. It was just two tables away from where we stood earlier. Bago ako makaupo ay naramdaman ko ang bigat ng isang tingin mula kung saan. My heart started to beat erratically. I wanted to stop myself but it was already too late. Napatingin na ako sa likod para hanapin siya. It only took me seconds before I found his intense eyes looking straight at me. Kung gaano kadilim kung nasaan siya, gano'n din ang mga matang nak

Chapter 11.1"You looked so beautiful hija." Napalingon ako kay Mommy nang marinig ko ang boses niya sa may pintuan. Nakita kong nakangiti siya pero iba ang sinasabi ng mga mata niya. My throat contracted and I looked away. Narinig ko ang tunog ng takong niya na papalapit sa akin. Nang mag-angat ang ulo ko ay nagtagpo ang paningin namin sa salamin na nasa harapan ko. Malungkot siyang ngumiti at hinawakan ang magkabilang balikat ko. She lovingly looked at my reflection without looking away. I gulped. My eyes started to get misty. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako naiiyak. "I'm sorry, hija..." Biglang sabi niya na nagpatigil sa akin. "I'm sorry for making you so worried about your Dad. I just want you to go home, anak. It's been years since I've seen you and I missed you so much. It's the only way I could think of to make you come home." Nag-iwas ako ng tingin nang humapdi ang mga mata ko kasabay ng pagkirot ng puso ko. I just felt like she manipulated me with that reason. She knew how m

Chapter 10.2He's flipping the pages of the magazine, legs crossed. Before I could even stop myself, Im already checking him out. Again.His hair is fixed in a man bun now, better than I saw earlier. I can see that he has a pointed nose, thick and long lashes. And oh, a red lips too.I unconsciously wet my lower lips using my tongue, when I saw his red tongue brushed his lower lip, when his mouth pop out the lollipop. Taking advantage of the situation, I scan his being. I clearly saw some tattoo on his neck because of his angle from where I am standing. I grimaced.He looked, rugged.He's wearing a baby blue long sleeves. He probably removed the jacket he wore. It's sleeves rolled up until his elbow and that gave me an access to see his tattoos on his arms too. This man screams bad news."Miss Sheena?"Nawala ang tingin ko sa lalaki nang marinig ko ang boses ni Thalia. Lumingon ako sa kaniya at nakita ko siyang nakangiti na sa akin."Yes?""Have you already choose miss? Or you want to

Chapter 10.1 Hindi ako mapakali habang papasok sa loob ng boutique. What is a Lankov doing here? I mean, sobrang imposible lang talagang makita siya dito ngayon lalo na't ang laki ng Maynila o ako lang talaga ang nag-iisip ng gano'n. First was yesterday and then now? Are we getting played by fate now? Hindi ko maiwasang mapalingon sa likuran ko para silipin si Adam. Since the walls are made of glasses, I could clearly see him outside. He's talking to someone on his phone. Hindi ko mapigilang maging kuryuso kung sino ang kausap niya, dahil sa seryosong ekspresyon ng mukha niya habang kausap ang kung sino man ang nasa kabilang linya. Gano'n na lang ang gulat ko nang pagkalingon ko ay may nakangiting babae ang bumungad sa akin. Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko at huminga ng malalim. "Good morning ma'am, we've already informed by Madam Victoria of your arrival today," saad niya. Tumango naman ako. "We've already prepared the dresses she requested to show you." Hindi na ako sumagot at

Chapter 10.2What's the problem again? I asked myself as I walked back to my cubicle.I was greeted by my co-workers' questioning look and malicious stares. It's like I'm guilty of the way they think of me. They're watching my every move. I quickly walked to my cubicle to avoid them all. Even though I was no longer comfortable around, I continued with the work I had left earlier. Fortunately, my work went well and I didn't get to have an additional paperwork. I was getting my things ready to leave, when my other co-workers arrived. I knew what they want from me and that was the information about the scene this morning. "If you want to know what 'tea' really is from what happened earlier, I can't answer you." I have preceded them because that is what they will ask me. It will not be difficult for them to make more effort for that. "We just want to know if you're having an affair with him." My ears perked up because of what I heard. Did I ever say that they're kind? If I said that,

Chapter 10.1I can still feel my face blushing because of what happened earlier. If you see a man undressing in front of you, let's see if your face wouldn't look like a tomato."Come on Eloise! Forget about it!" I gently slap my face. I've been doing this for a while but it still doesn't work. I sighed and looked at the papers I still needed to edit. Determined to finish my work immediately and forget what happened earlier, I started to work. I was typing on the computer when suddenly my cellphone vibrated just above my desk. I stopped typing and look at it to see who texted me.Unknown number:Let's eat lunch together.I frowned and wondered who texted me. I replied 'who are you?' after that I put the cellphone on the table to continue working. Even though I hadn't typed half of what I was supposed to edit, my cellphone vibrated again.Unknown number:It's me :)Stupid. How do I know who he is?Eloise: Whatever your trip in life is, don't mess with me, okay? Thanks.After that I

Chapter 9.2I fixed him lying on the sofa, but because of his height he couldn't fit in my small sofa. After I properly laid him down, I went to my room to get a blanket. After I got a blanket and a pillow, when I returned to the living room I found him curled up on the sofa. When I approached him, his sweat was already dripping. It wasn't hot but he was sweating profusely.I bit my lower lip and thought about what to do to keep him from getting hot."Erase! Erase!" I said to myself. "Why would you think? He insisted to sleep there! He chose that!" I'm still talking to myself.I just frowned at him and immediately went back to my room to sleep.No matter how much I tossed and turn on my bed, I still can't sleep. I texted Nurse Tessa instead, she's still on shift right now so I'm sure she's still in the hospital.To Nurse Tessa: Hello, Good evening. How is Dad? I was glad that she's really on shift right now when she replied. Maybe she's not busy. From Nurse Tessa:He's fine. Ther

Chapter 9.1I almost scream when I recognized the perfume. Goodness Gracious!Wyatt Wolfenstein!"Are you crazy?!" I shouted when I lost his grip on my mouth. His arm was still wrapped around my waist and our face are too close for our own good."Who told you to walk alone huh?" He gasped as he stood in front of me. "Really, Eloise? You can take a cab." He's irritated. "My workplace is just near of where I live, is there a need to take a ride? Why would I ride if I can just walk?"Besides, I'm saving! The taxi fair would only cost me a lot of money. I'd rather walk! Not can I only save some money but I can also exercise too!"You'll be damned there for what you're doing.""Wait! Let go of me first." I let go of his embrace and distanced myself. The distance between the two of us is staggering. I straightened my rumpled clothes and looked at him.He is the only one who follows me. I really that someone's following me but it turns out that it was only him. I was really nervous!"Did yo

Chapter 8.2"Are you yelling at me?" My jaw almost dropped on the floor. Im sure that disbelief is painted all over my face while looking at him because of the sudden raise of his voice. "I'm not." He must have failed to control his temper because his tone is dripping with restraint anger right now. "Can you just leave?"There was a look of resistance on his face but I ignored it. He's annoying, I get that he doesn't want to me to get hurt. But does he also understand that I still have to think about my father who is still in the hospital right now? Those drugs of his that cost a few thousand each? The medicine he injected every day just to get well? Will I think more about my safety than my father's life? Shall I put that first?"Will you hear me out?" He later asked after a few minutes of silence between the two of us."Why else?""Because I said so," he said.I crossed my arms over my chest and looked at him. He also looked at me, intensely. We both have a staring contest stubbor

Chapter 8.1"What are you up to now?"I looked at Catelyn who had just arrived at the apartment, of where I'm living. I'm currently cleaning the apartment now because I haven't been able to clean for a few days. When I arrived in the Philippines from France, I became busy with my new job. I’m an editor at a big company just near here.I also visited my Dad in the hospital. He's still asleep but he's getting better. Ever since I came home, Wyatt has been texting me constantly. I don't know what's with his persistent texts though. After I treated his wounds back in France, he didn't stop making his presence known. He keeps on asking me a lot of questions, and then he would get angry if I couldn't answer any of it. How can I answer him if his questions doesn't really make sense, right? It seems like he's the only one who knows what he's talking about. I'm not that smart to get what he means right away. It was like I was in the middle of a maze and didn’t know which direction to go."May
