Sariel's point of view The closure that I've been looking for has come to an end, and Maddox and I are no longer in any danger. It's been a long time. Now we are in the city of Amsterdam. It was at the narrow bridge that Maddox made his second proposal to me. Wala ng mas makakapagpigil sa kanya, e. Tinotoo talaga 'yung biro na mag-propose 'ulit. As for my mother, she has decided to remain in this wonderful place permanently. She has found a Dutch partner here, and I will always be there to support her. She has earned the right to have a life with the man she loves now and to take care of each other, but I will never forget about my father. Gusto ko lang ulit sumaya si mommy gayong siya nalang mag-isa. Ayaw din naman niyang sumama sa amin ni Maddox. I am currently six months pregnant, and Maddox is such a sharp shooter. My second baby, and it's a girl. Minsan nga pinaparinig ko, na sana siya nalang ang nagbuntis kasi ang hirap naman 'yun. Well, I set aside those thoughts. For
Third person’s point of view “You know the drill, Sariel, you have to fvcking get in Maddox’s company and mess everything up,” Sariel’s uncle Finn barks at her. Walang nagawa si Sariel kundi tumango sa instructions ng tito niya. She heaved a deep, long sigh. Maddox is Ventura’s eldest son and currently serves as the CEO of Ventura’s company. Lingid sa kaalaman ni Finn ay nagkakagustuhan na sila Sariel at Maddox. Sa sobrang busy nito ay hindi nito napansin na makailang beses nang nakita ang dalawa. Galit na galit si Finn kay Maddox because Maddox set him up by mixing Finn's products with fake stuff, causing Finn's client to cancel a huge deal in the past. Muntik nang mabangkarote si Finn dahil nakarating sa ibang kliyente ang balitang nagbebenta siya ng mga pekeng produkto. Sa kabutihang palad, nailigtas niya ang kanyang reputasyon, ngunit nag-aksaya siya ng maraming pera bilang isang resulta.Bilang isang paraan ng paghihiganti, nagpasya si Finn na nakawin ang kumpidensyal na data n
Third person’s point of view When Maddox arrived at the hospital, he ran straight to his parents, who were in the operating room. Maddox and Lowe were merely waiting outside at the OR, praying that their parents will be saved from the on-going operation. Lumipas ang apat na oras ay doon lang may lumabas na dalawang doctor sa operating room. The two walked toward the doctor with a sympathetic expression. “I’m sorry, we did everything we could to save the patient. Your mother has a traumatic brain injury. Severe head injuries from the force of a car accident caused your mother to suffer brain trauma, which may have resulted in fatal outcomes, and she did not make it.” Pagpapaliwanag ng doctor. Maddox expression hardened when he heard what the doctor said, he’s palms curled into fists, his knuckles shifting white. “What about my father?” Lowe is the one who asks the doctor since Maddox can’t seem to restrain his anger and is about to launch a punch at the doctor. The doctor went on
Third person’s point of view Nagsimulang dumagundong ang puso ni Sariel sa kanyang dibdib habang bumubuhos ang takot sa kanyang daluyan ng dugo. “Sariel.” Maddox’s powerful voice rings across the car. “Do you know that my parents are as cold as icebergs right now? It’s all because of you and your uncle, hmm?” Sinubukan ni Sariel na ibalik ang kanyang pagkakalmado at muling huminga ng malalim, ngunit ang tanging nakikita niya ay puro pula nang mariing niyang ipikit ang kanyang mga mata. “I- didn’t… That’s what my uncle’s all idea, wala akong kinalaman sa nangyari,” Sariel’s murmurs under her breathing. “The hell you’re talking? You’re with him inside the car, pwedi mo siyang pigilan pero hindi mo ginawa!” Maddox’s thunderous voice swirls again. He doesn’t care if the girl he’s yelling at right now is the same person he once cherished. Dahil sa babaeng ito ay namatay ang mga magulang nila. “For the fact that I don’t have to make any freaking choice! He actually held captive my mot
Third person’s point of view “Well, too late to explain. The damage has done. You can kiss my baby for me, come on.” Maddox teases her. “Don’t come near me… Please,” pagmamakaawa ni Sariel kay Maddox. As he sees the girl he once loved terrified, he seems to enjoy knowing that his simple punishment is effective. Maddox’s so enraged that it’s as if all memories of the two of them together have vanished from his mind, and what he sees in front of him right now is a total stranger. He ended up being pretty close to Sariel. Sariel freezes all over when Maddox allows the ball python to creep around her shoulder. As Maddox observed her, he couldn't tell if she was still breathing, ang nakikita lang niya sa mukha ni Sariel ay ang bumabalot na takot at gustong makawala sa alaga ni Maddox. “Please… Take it off. Nakikiusap ako sayo Maddy. I-i-can’t breath,” pagmamakaawa ulit ni Sariel habang tumataas baba ‘yung diddib niya na tila nahihirapan talaga siyang huminga. When Maddox heard someone
Third person’s point of view “Maddox girlfriend happened.” “Girlfriend—what? Kuya doesn’t have a girlfriend?” Lowe giggles at what Sariel has just said. “He’s a crazy asshole,” she mumbled with a scowl as she stood up, but dahil nahihilo pa nga siya, kaya matutumba na sana siya. But before she could fall, a pair of strong arms came up behind her to keep her standing.. “Hey, what really happened?” Sariel shrugs her shoulder. Inalalayan naman siya ni Lowe papunta sa kama niya para paupuin. “Wait, kaninong kwarto ‘to?” Tanong ni Sariel kay Lowe. “Oh, kay Reinn,” napangisi si Lowe sa sagot niya kay Sariel. “Reinn? Who’s Reinn?” Nagtataka na tanong ni Sariel kung may babae naman pala siya bakit dito pa siya dinala sa kwarto ng ibang babae niya? Pero kakasabi lang niya na wala siyang girlfriend. “’yung dinala ni kuya rito kanina sa kwarto mo, hindi mo na agad maalala?” Mas lalong naguguluhan si Sariel sa paputol-putol na sagot sa kanya ni Lowe, nadagdagan pa ‘yung pagka hilo niya. D
☞ SIX MONTHS AGO ☜Maddox's point of viewMy brother Marlowe and I are here today at Jungle K to follow our sister because she is with her boyfriend, whom I don't want for her. Simple lang naman for the fact that mukha siyang adik."Kuya, we've been going around for a while now, they're gone, let's just leave them alone," Lowe sneered at me. I glare at him, dahil kanina pa siya nagrereklamo. "Don't talk, just open your eyes and find the f*ck where they are."I heard someone giggling. Narinig din siguro ni Lowe, kaya pareho namin nilibot ang paningin namin sa paligid, to see whether there is anyone else here aside from us. I noticed someone's head with a bunny not far away, so we walked carefully to ensure she wasn't able to notice us. We passed on the other side, nakatalikod lang siya sa amin. I think she is counting when she will peek to see where we were a minute ago."Where did they go?" she murmurs.She looks stupid, though. Is she a spy? Well, hindi ko malalaman if hindi ko siya
Sariel's point of view"I'm just going to the restroom; I'll be right back," I said to them and turned to smile at Maddy.I don't know how lighthearted I feel towards them, even though they look like ninjas who seem to be doing animal haunting at the Jungle K. When I was about to shout at him earlier, I got so shocked that I didn't even finish what I was about to say. His presence commands attention without uttering a word, kaya nga ako natulala kanina. It's like his piercing gray eyes are absorbing me. His rugged jawline, shadowed by a hint of stubble, parang Gustong-gusto kong paglandasin yung mga daliri ko doon at makikiliti ako. Errr.I'm so happy that he granted my request that, if possible, we're going here to the ice cream parlor. I haven't been able to eat it for a long time, ngayon lang. Kung hindi lang talaga ako inaya ng best friend kong lumabas nunka namang makakagala ako. Pero naiinis parin ako. Tingnan nyo nga naman, they didn't even look for me, nung mawala ako sa pani
