last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

Tala was a little disoriented when she woke up the next morning. She barely slept because of the steamy-gone-wrong encounter she had with Knoxx last night. At kung siya ang tatanungin, mas gusto na lang niyang magkulong sa kwarto nila ni Atlas buong araw. Kaya lang, nagising siyang wala na ang anak sa kanyang tabi. Marahil ay hindi na nito nahintay ang paggising niya kaya kusa na itong lumabas ng kwarto upang mag-agahan.

With a sigh, she forced herself to sit on the bed. Noon niya napansin ang isang tray na puno ng breakfast food sa bedside table. Agad na lumipad ang kanyang tingin sa orasan na naroon din. It was past 9 in the morning. No wonder hinatiran na siya ng pagkain ng kung sino man.

After last night, she wouldn’t want to assume anymore that Knoxx might be the one who prepared the breakfast tray for her. Dahil bakit pa? Sa anong dahilan na paghahandaan siya ng pagkain ngayong umaga? For all she knew naroon na naman ito kay Genevieve doing whatever under the sun.

    "Mommy, do you know when Dad's coming home?" inosenteng tanong ni Atlas kay Tala. Sandali siyang natigilan. Hindi niya alam kung paano sasagutin ang anak. 'We value our servants, Ms. Sandejas. Some of them came from families who had served the royal family for generations. Felicia is one of those. Why do you think despite of all the dangers around us, my son allowed Felicia to work in his own place? That's because we trust her. More than you even.... Just because you married my son and gave birth to another prince, doesn't make you one of us, nor own the power any of us posses. As for most of us, you are still an outsider. One who have yet to prove her loyaty to the crown. And I'll make sure that you'll be punished even at one small hint of disloyalty. Mark my words.' Muling bumigat ang dibdib ni Tala sa mga salitang binitiwang ng ina ni Knoxx kanina nang bigla itong sumulpot sa bahay ni Knoxx matapos niyang palayasin si Felicia. At lalo lamang siyang nagngitngit sa naalala. Why, t

    Sandali pang pinagmasdan ni Tala sina Knoxx at Genevieve. They were smiling and talking at each other like they weren’t there. It was as if they were caught up in their own little word and none of them existed. Even if another A-bomb will be thrown at them, they'd probably wouldn't move. That's how entranced they were for each other. Ridiculous and pathetic, lihim niyang sabi. Kahit na nang bumaba siya sa sasakyan habang karga si Atlas, hindi rin siya tinulungan ni Knoxx. It was Ander who helped her. It was as if Knoxx’s duty was just to bring her and her son there and forget about them right after, just like what he did for the past days. She bit the insides of her cheeks, trying to control her emotions. Subalit nang biglang lumapit ang isa sa mga palace maids sa kanya at sinubukang kunin si Atlas, nagtaas na siya ng boses. “No. Why are you taking my son from me?” asik niya sa babae na nakasuot ng kaparis na uniporme ni Felicia. Kumurap ang katulong, alanganing bumaling sa dir

    “I’m glad you finally agreed to have this afternoon walk with me, Knoxx. The Azalee des Merveilles will be in full bloom in a few days. Since, everyone is already here inside the palace, you’re mother and Lady Karolina asked me to organize a tea party celebrating the blooming of your grandfather’s favorite flower. Isn’t that exciting? It’s like when we were kids, Knoxx!” Genevieve declared in a happy tone as they had that long walk towards the greenhouse near the palace garden. And in as much as he wanted to be excited with the activity she’s been planning, for indeed they haven’t had that in years, he just can’t. Dahil kahit na naroon siya at naglalakad kasama si Genevieve, ang isip niya nasa mag-ina niya. Today, just like the last few days, had been exhausting for him. Not just because of the threats still lurking around his family, but the physical feat of dividing his time and attention between Genevieve and Tala and Atlas. He released a slow breath and tried to concentrate as t

    “Why do you keep on making a scene, Ms. Sandejas? This is the royal palace. The residence of the king. Don’t you have any manners at all?” painsultong tanong ni Princess Marciana sa kanya, ang ina ni Knoxx. The princess forced her into the room assigned to her, as explained by Ander earlier, after the royal guards forced to take her son away from her.She tried to fight them off, but they were too many. Leaving her more furious than ever.She looked at the regal princess in front of her and wiped her tears away. Kung akala nito wala siyang manners, then she better live up to her expectation to satisfy her.“Right, I don’t have manners, Her Highness.” She spoke her royal title full of spite. “I have no manners when the welfare of my son is on the line. You can call me names, hurl insults at me and even sentence me to death, but I will not let you or any authority in this country call the shots when it comes to my little boy,” she declared full of determination.If standing up for what

    Mabibigat ang hakbang ni Knoxx habang palayo siya sa opisina ng kanyang tiyuhin. He just finished talking to the king and he doesn’t feel any better. Why his uncle, the king, just told him that not introducing Tala yet as his wife is all for the best of the crown! And whatever he meant by that beats him. Hindi na niya pinatagal pa ang pag-uusap nila. He was too confused and angry with what’s happening that he knew it’s better that he leaves the presence of the king before he could do something he’d greatly regret after. Just like that one time with his grandfather when he…He took a deep breath and shook his head. He must not allow memories of his past mistakes cloud his logic now. Not to mention, he has yet to talk to his parents… again. Of which he just knew would just be echoing the decision of the king.He raked his hand through his hair, cursing himself. If only he didn’t act on his anger and brought Tala and Atlas there at the palace, none of those would’ve happened. But it is w

    Hindi malaman ni Tala kung ilang oras siyang nagkulong sa loob ng banyo at nag-iiyak. Subalit nang lumabas siya mula roon at halos papalubog na ang araw.Her eyes were puffy and her head was hurting from crying—dreading how powerless and outnumbered she was in that place. She walked over at the large bed and sat on it, facing the big window—watching the slow setting of the sun.Ilang sandali pa, nakarinig siya ng katok sa pinto. She did not answer but the door to her room opened nevertheless. Lumingon siya mula sa kama at nakita niyang pumasok ang isang babae na sa tingin niya ay mas bata sa kanya ng maraming taon sa edad niyang trenta.The lady was wearing a blue maids’ uniform and she quickly bowed her head as soon as she entered the room. “My Lady, my name is Adela. Princess Marciana sent me to be your personal maid from now on,” pagpapakilala nito bago muling nag-angat ng tingin sa kanya at ngumiti.She forced herself to smile. The woman looked friendly. And yet again, she was re

    Tala instantly stilled when she recognized the owner of the voice of the man on top of her. It was Knoxx.She blinked and tried to calm herself for her mind and heart were racing. What was he doing inside her room? And pinning her on the bed… that close?Panic washed over her hazy mind instantly, muli siyang nagpumiglas. Subalit lalo lang dumagan si Knoxx sa kanya.“Dammit, Tala! I said stop moving or what will happen next will entirely be your fault,” he hissed just above whisper, pressing his lower body against her. Her eyes widened instantly when she felt his arousal… against her leg! Agad siyang huminto sa pagpiglas. Her cheeks heating up.He looked away and whispered something else in Italian, more like a cuss—she just doesn’t understand no matter how she tries. Maya-maya pa, muli itong tumingin sa kanya. “I will let you go but promise me you won’t make any fuss or any noise,” he said, his minty breath fanning on her face.Kumurap siya at marahang tumango.

    Tahimik si Tala habang pinagmamasdan si Atlas. Her son was talking to her Dad using her phone, na halos kababalik lang sa kanya as promised by Knoxx bago sila maghiwalay kaninang madaling araw. Her phone came with the rest of her things that morning after she successfully returned to her room without anyone noticing.Matapos siyang dalhan ni Adela ng breakfast sa mismong kwarto niya, she called her father and informed him that both she and her son have safely arrived in Maritria. Noong una, panay ang reklamo nito na kesyo bakit raw hindi siya tumawag agad. Nagdahilan na lang siya na marami silang inasikaso kaya hindi siya agad nakatawag. Mabuti na lang at naniwala ito kahit paano. Kaya lang hindi siya nito tinantanan hanggang hindi nito nakakausap si Atlas.And so she asked Knoxx to make a way for her father and Atlas to talk, interrupting the on-going class Atlas was having with Sir Eduardo from the royal butler academy about proper etiquette and social behavior amongst royals.

    Tala slowly gave her reflection on the mirror a once over. On her was a black silk dress; an exquisite diamond necklace Knoxx had given her on their anniversary; and of course her favorite pumps produced by her very own brand, Stella. She tried, but she cannot help herself but smile. Why wouldn’t she, life has been so good to her for the past two years. After that heartfelt reunion she and Knoxx had at her parent’s house in Manila, she officially became Mrs. Stavropolous, again, that very same day. After her parents and the rest of her family came back from their quick tour at Asteri Island, that is. Hindi niya alam na sa buong panahon na asar na asar siya kay Knoxx dahil hindi ito nagpapakita sa kanya, pasimple na pala nitong hinahanda ang kasal nila with the help of her Auntie Sam and her parents. Yes, her parents did a great part on the display of ‘sea-of-roses’ inside their house. Her father proudly admitted that himself right after the wedding. Knoxx then had decided to move h

    Tala's heart instantly hitched, turning around as quick as she could. And there she saw him, under the bright morning sun, just a few steps away from her, the prince who’ve swept her off her feet since their crazy wedding night, Prince Knoxx Iossif Stefanos Stavropolous. She quickly gave him a once over and he never disappoints! Her prince is as handsome as ever. He grinned, making her eyes roll in fake annoyance. Agad siyang namaywang. “Why are you here? And where are the people of this house? What did you to my parents, Knoxx? And Atlas, where is my son?!” sunod-sunod niyang tanong sa mataas na tinig. Knoxx gave her a heart-stopping smile, making her want to rush to him for a hug. But she stilled herself. She must not let logic falter now. They must talk. They must. “You don’t have to worry, mi bella. Everyone’s safe. And regarding your question, I came here to explain—“ “I already know everything. Everything,” she said, cutting his words. He paused and stared at her for a whil

    “Arise, shine, Star Princess!” anang pamilyar na tinig ng Mommy ni Tala na siyang nagpagising sa kanya. She gently opened her eyes and the warmth of the morning sun coming through the big windows of her bedroom greeted her. Pasimple siyang nag-inat at umayos ng pagkakahiga sa kama. She saw her mother arranging another bouquet of pink Ecuadorian roses on the vase on top of the bureau inside her room. “Another one?” she asked, gently pushing herself to sit on her bed. Her mother smiled. “Yes, princess. Your husband doesn’t miss a day,” anang kanyang ina bago muling ipinagpatuloy ang pag-aayos sa mga bulaklak. Husband. She still can't believe that the arrogant prince made her go through all the tears and heartaches for nothing. Knoxx is still her husband or so her father had told her. These days, her parents are openly discussing about Knoxx, especially her Dad. And she is more than relieved to know that despite his absence, Knoxx is slowly making his way through her parents' hearts.

    Knoxx heaved a sigh as he stared at his phone, recalling the brief conversation he just had with Tala. Talagang ayaw pa rin talaga siya nitong kausapin. Well, with his wife’s temper he knew that the whole ‘getting-back-together’ plan he had in mind would surely be a feat. But that doesn’t mean he is giving up. He’s just… being considerate given Tala’s condition.Olivia had given her last night an earful of dos and don’t’s when it comes to dealing with pregnant women. At totoong nakinig siya. He clearly remembered how his bratty princess of a cousin reminded him over and over again that pregnant women must always have things their way. And that’s what he just did. Hopefully, that by giving in with Tala’s wishes for now, lumamig na rin ang ulo nito sa kanya at tuluyan na siyang kausapin pagbalik niya sa Pilipinas.Pagbalik niya sa Pilipinas.He sighed and put his phone back to his pocket. Pagkatapos niyon ay pinagmasdan niya ang royal ring sa kanyang palasingsingan. His Majesty gave it

    “Yes, Genevieve seduced me and I gave in. I allowed her to fool me and get the better of me. I-I’m sorry,” said King George, still lying down on his hospital bed. Makahulugang nagkatinginan sina Ares at Knoxx, sharing the same gleam of anger in their eyes towards their enemies who had made them suffer for years. Kararating lang nila mula sa Pilipinas at doon sila sa ospital dumiretsong magkapatid. At first Knoxx was conflicted to leave Manila. Bakit hindi, inaayos pa niya ang gusot sa kanila ni Tala tapos aalis siya? If it wasn’t for his mother’s persuasion to go home, baka nagpa-iwan na siya. But he’s glad he did go home. Because if he didn’t, he would’ve missed the clan’s meeting and his Uncle George’s confession. Yesterday, they were informed that his Uncle George had already opened his eyes. But the doctors didn’t allow any member of their family to talk to him just yet. They had to make sure that the King’s condition is stable and that he is ready to receive visitors. It took a

    “Ano pang tinatanga mo d’yan? I told you to leave, haven’t I?” gigil na singhal ni Tala kay Knoxx. She really cannot believe he’s inside her room right now, and lying on the bed with her, her very own bed! Nasa baba lang ito kanina a, kasama sina President Tuazon at Ares. Paanong naroon na ito agad sa kwarto niya? Pinaakyat na lang ba ito ng mga kaanak niya nang gano’n-gano’n lang? Imposible. Her Dad hated Knoxx’s guts noon pa. And she’s sure her father, hated Knoxx all the more after everything that has happened between her and her ex-husband. So how in the world was he there inside her room—comfortably sitting on her bed looking more handsome than she remembered? She tried to get her wits straight as she questioned herself. But all she could ever think were all the awful—morbid even- thoughts on how Knoxx ended up inside her room. She groaned inwardly as panic and anger instantly rose in her chest.Pagdating talaga kay Knoxx, ni minsan, hindi umayos ang huwisyo niya. Tumikhim si

    The dinner was filled with formal talks about business, leading a country and current events. The topics were of his interest but when Atlas finished his food, Knoxx excused himself to spend more time with his son.They were by the receiving room, playing a race game on his son’s IPAD when Joshua approached him again, asking him to step inside the library. Agad siyang nagpaalam kay Atlas at nagsimulang maglakad pabalik sa library. He glanced at Ares who was walking towards the lanai with the rest of the Sandejas family and President Tuazon. His brother grinned at him and gave him a thumbs up. For what, he does not have any idea. Pagdating sa loob ng library, agad na nagsalita ang Daddy ni Tala. “There are three things you must know before we move forward from here. First, I hate you. That won't change even after a million years. Second, I still think you don’t deserve my daughter nor my grandson. Understand?” “I understand, Sir. And the third?” Sandali siyang tinitigan ni Joshua.

    Knoxx had been in many difficult meetings and negotiations his entire life. He had been exposed to such since he was younger for he’s been born a leader, one who's supposed to see beyond the mist—composed, level-headed, sure with just about everything. But right there, in front of Tala’s parents, Knoxx felt like he has just been thrown in the water when he doesn’t know how to swim. Nangangapa siya at halos hindi niya alam ang sasabihin. If he’d be honest, his knees were shaking like a fckin leaf. Well, he should be. Noong huli niyang makaharap ang mga magulang ni Tala, nangako siya na iingatan niya ang mag-ina niya. And the events that had led them into that situation clearly proved, he had not been taking care of his family like he promised. He doesn’t even want to lie either or appear to be all righteous in the midst of the chaos. Because at that point, he knew, alam na ng mga magulang ni Tala ang mga nangyari rito sa pananatili nito sa Maritria. He cannot deny any of it. So he wan

    “I dont’t know what got into your head and created trouble inside the hospital. Sa pagkakaalam ko, malinaw ang pagkakasabi ko kay Quint na galit sa inyo ang mga Sandejas,” sermon sa kanila ni Kylie habang ginagamot nito ang sugat ni Ares. Naroon sila sa isa sa mga treatment room sa emergency ward. A different doctor, a resident he presumed, was attending to Knoxx and dressing his wounds. “Bakit ako ang pinapagalitan mo? It was all Knoxx’s fault! I had warned him dozens of times—Ouch! Dammit! That’s hurts, Dr. dela Vega!” reklamo ng kapatid niya, panay ang ngiwi habang patuloy si Kylie sa pagdampi ng antiseptic sa sugatang mukha nito. “And it will hurt more if you’d continue complaining, Prince Ares!” gigil na sagot ni Kylie, patuloy sa pagdiin ng bulak sa mukha ng kapatid niya. Ares complained again, louder this time. Knoxx huffed. Why can’t his brother keep quiet? Hindi ba nito nahahalata na sa bawat reklamo nito, siya ring pagdiin ni Kylie sa mga sugat nito?
