Epilogue.Brodie."All is okay now, Brodie. You don't have to worry anymore. You've done your part, bro, and I will do the rest. This is my war against them, not yours. So, just take care of Carmella for me."My jaw tightened while listening to Axton in the line. Even if he didn't tell me, I would do what was right for Carmella. I don't need his opinion at all."Aren't you planning on taking over the business there?" I asked. The last time I spoke with him, I told him about it and that it would be best if he could continue the business while he was in Italy."For what? I'm not a Gray, Brodie."I chuckled. "Yes, you are, Axton. You don't have to be born as a Grey by blood, but in the eye of the law, you are my brother."Natahimik bahagya ang kabilang linya at pati na ako. Matigas si Axton, at ito siguro ang nagustuhan nina Mama at Papa sa kanya. My parents never spoiled us, but provided us everything with love. Hindi ko kailanman naramdaman sa mga magulang ko na iba ang trato nila kay

Zebedee Glenn Mondragon.My brows furrowed as I read my mother's note. I scoffed and slightly smirked.Yeah, I'm so sick of it. Dammit.I unbutton my black suit and hang it on the dry rack. Then, I stride down the hallway to the spacious kitchen.The lavish fridge, which was like a wall, seemed like nothing around the place, but with a single tap on the side, you could almost see what was inside."Damn, Morris," I mouthed and drank the sparkling water.I don't know how to answer my mother this time. I refused to respond, and I knew she would never give up.Hell, do I look like an old bachelor of all time? I must be. Four failed engagements and two long years of hiatus on women make me look like an old bachelor. I shook my head, imagining my mother's face.It's a reaper. This is Morris's fault. This should be him and not me. Damn, him."Do I look like an old bachelor to you, big Mors?"Kausap ko siya sa kabilang linya at komportable ang pagkakaupo ko sa malambot na sofa. Naka-on ang

Erykah Sunshine."Do you think he'll love this?" I gazed at Samantha, and she nodded weakly."I supposed." She rolled her eyes in dismay, giving me a cold shoulder of disapproval."Come on, Erykah. You are not that stupid, are you? Can't you see that Arnold is just using you?"Napabuntong-hininga siya at hindi maipinta ang mukha habang nakatitig sa akin. Nawala ang ngiti ko sa mukha at nabalot ng kaba ang puso ko.Si Arnold nalang ang natitirang pag-asa. Siya ang buhay ko ngayon at bukas. Mahalaga siya sa akin at umiikot lang ang mundo ko sa kanya."Sam, you should try to open your heart. You will see. . ." Umikot akong saglit at saka tinitigan ang kabuuang hitsura ko sa salamin.Somehow, I felt worried, and the pain kept bothering me."Ugh, kung katulad mo lang magmahal ay hindi na ano! Ayaw kong magpakatanga na tulad mo. I-I mean, there's nothing wrong to fall in love, Erykah, but not to the extend of turning a blind eye to everything," she looked at me, feeling worried too.Hindi

Zebedee Glenn."And now he is threatening you." Morris laughed hard in the line. "I told you, little Zeb. You can't get away with him. But I don't want you to worry. I can manage my business on my own. I can survive." He winked.My jaw tightened as I looked at him.Nakakatawa nga naman ang hitsura niya sa kabilang linya. Iilang kaha ng beer na kaya ang nauubos niya? Mukhang hindi pa rin siya tinatablan ng alcohol."I will see what I can do, big Mors."He laughed and shook his head. "Don't worry. I have other means of finding money. The boys all look good, you know. Enzo's grandfather is out of the country at the moment, and we are operating well."I sighed. My mind is blank at the moment. Iba nga naman kapag si Papa na ang kumilos, pero kung inaakala niya na matatakot niya ako, ay nagkakamali siya, dahil hindi ako takot sa kanya."Worry about yourself, little Zeb, and please take care of Mama.""Can you stop calling me little Zeb, big Mors? I'm no longer a little boy," I chuckled.

Erykah SunshineLast will and testaments.Kung may pinakamasakit na pinagdaanan ang buhay ko ay ito ang ngayon.For the past six weeks, I have felt lost and directionless, longing for my father's presence. Despite my prayers for his healing, it seems that they have gone unanswered by heaven and he quietly passed away. My stepmother, who wanted to rule the business, made her way, and my two stepsisters acted as if they owned the entire place and were unfriendly to me. They seemed to have lost touch. I wasn't there to care for the business because I was with my father the whole time.I'm also tired of asking a question to Arnold about him having an affair with Sarah. I don't want another rejection. The pain I have now is enough for me to stand for a while and I don't want to add more to that.Blanko akong nakatitig sa malaking family picture frame namin sa pribadong library room ng ama ko.Ang bahay na dating puno ng saya at sigla, ay pawang tahimik na. Iba na ang bawat sulok ng palas

Erykah Sunshine.Hindi mapigilan ni Samantha ang tawa niya sa bandang gilid habang binabasa ang kopya ng huling testamento ni Papa.Philip and I are in a deep conversation regarding the assets I now have in my name. They are the ones from my deceased mother.Agad kong nakuha ang lehitimong pagmamay-ari nito, dahil ako lang naman ang anak nila ni Papa at wala ng iba. Pero ang pamana ko na galing kay Papa ay on hold pa."My goodness, I can't understand why you had to do it this way, Erykah. You honestly created your own grave of mistakes when it comes to this. I can't help but laugh. And take note, ang cute ng pemanship mo noong bata ka pa." Lakas na tawa niya.Ngumuso ako at nilingon siya. Nahinto si Philip at sabay naming tinitigan si Samantha ngayon. Hindi pa rin siya nahinto at tawang-tawa parin sa sitwasyon ko.I sighed, feeling shit because of that. I couldn't blame my younger self at that time. That's what I wanted, and that proves that I collaborated with my parents for that in

Erykah Sunshine.It's annoying to see the two people peaking at each other like crazy. I want them to vanish before me, or perhaps I could evaporate? But that's not possible because Emelda is keen to bid something fancy. She only kept me beside her because elite people in the business knew me. Without me beside them, they're nothing."Oh, I love that one. That will suit me!" si Elloida. Tumaas na nga ang leeg niya sa bawat model na pumaparada. Parang gusto niyang bilihin ang lahat ng mga suot ng modelo."That doesn't look good on you, Elloida. Mangingitim ka. It doesn't fit your skin tone," arteng boses ni Sarah."Pakialam mo! Hindi naman ikaw magbabayad, ano!""Gosh, nagsalita ang may pera. Bakit ikaw ba magbabayad sa mga ito!? Eh, hindi naman ah!"Kulang nalang ay magbardagulan ang dalawa dahil sa ingay. Agaw atensyon pa sila at nakakahiya sa iilang prominanteng bisita rito."Girls, stop it! Stop now!" Pigil na boses ni Emelda, at panay ang pekeng ngiti niya sa iilang mga tao sa ta

Brielle.Busog ako at masaya. Nagpahinga na si tiya at naiwan kami ni Morris na gising pa. Maaga pa naman, at alam ni tiya na sa bahay ni Morris ako matutulog ngayon. Kaya inayos ko muna ang lahat, para wala na siyang iisipin pagkagising niya bukas.Mahigpit ang hawak ni Morris sa kamay ko, at panay naman ang ngiti ko habang tanaw na ang treehouse. Huminto kaming pareho, at saka dumampi ang labi niya sa likod ng kamay ko na hawak niya. "I'll be missing you, Bree…" Humarap siya sa akin, at saka hinaplos ang gilid ng mukha ko."And I will miss you too, Morris…" Pinalupot ko agad ang mga kamay ko sa leeg niya at saka hinalikan siya.With both of our eyes shut, we kissed. . . It was majestic. Nakakatawa ang hitsura namin pareho. Para kaming mga teenager rito. We kissed, hugged, laughed and kissed again. Morri's jokes were not funny at all. Kahit pa anong jokes ang sabihin niya ay hindi nakakatawa ito dahil hindi bagay sa hitsura niya. Kaya heto, tudo tawa ako.Morris is also not romant

Morris."Ilang linggo ka sa Italya? Buwan ba? Taon?"Glenn grimaced as he looked at me with never-ending questions. I shook my head, sipping the light champagne.It must be my last family dinner for I am going to go back to Italy in the next few days.“I will be back before you know it, Glenn.”He laughed a little bit.“I will keep an eye on your woman if you want.”I chuckled as I looked at his wife below."Brielle is fine. She's easy and she'll never go anywhere. Hindi naman siya katulad ng napangasawa mo ngayon. Mukhang palaban ang misis mo."“A little bit. She’s stubborn, but I can handle her.”"Sinusuban ang pasensya mo ano? In that case, I will not bother you to keep an eye on Brielle. I trust her,” I proudly said, and it was his turn to chuckle.“So, are you going back into business again?”I know Glenn is worried, but everything is okay with my business abroad. Iyon nga lang may mga bagay na sadyang naiiba sa kalakaran, at alam na niya kung ano ang mga ito.My father knew abo

Brielle.I couldn't sleep, ending up staring at him while he was asleep.Noon, hindi ako naniniwala sa pag-ibig. Wala akong alam kung ano ang nagagawa nito sa buhay ng isang tao. Marami akong tanong tungkol sa pagmamahal, at nang hindi ko makuha ang tamang sagot ay kinalimutan ko na ang mga ito.Si tiya lang ang mahalaga sa akin noon. Siya lang ang pamilya ko. Siya lang ang kinikilala kong ina. Pero nang dumating si Morris sa buhay ko, ay nagbago ang pananaw ko sa pangalang 'pag-ibig'.I suddenly feel a weird desire, longing, and love for him. I want to be with him. I can't be at peace without seeing him. I want to sleep and wake up beside him. I want him to be a part of me. I want him with me forever… I know I'm selfish at times, but… that's me.Pero hindi naman ako bulag. Alam ko ang pangako namin ni Morris sa isa't-isa. Pumayag ako sa gusto niya, dahil wala namang kasiguruhan ang buhay.I'm not a good person. I've done a lot of bad things, and I have a dark past that I've been try

Brielle."You don't want us to go somewhere, Brielle. Why not? The weather is good, baby. Let's go out fishing.""No. I don't feel like fishing." Tumalikod ako kay Morris at saka nag-kunwaring abala sa lababo."Alright. So, when do you feel like fishing or swimming?""I don't know. . ." Kibit-balikat ko. Nilingon ko siya. Nakaupo siya at hawak ang mainit na kape sa kamay. Dapat sana ay pupunta siya sa kabilang Isla para mamalengke, pero pinigilan ko. Si Bleu ang gumawa nito. Inilipat ko ang gawain na ginagawa niya madalas sa amin ni tiya."Why don't we finish the project you started at your place?" I sweetly smiled and walked towards him.Nasa bandang likod na niya ako nakatayo at niyayakap siya."The tree house?""Oo... Hindi ba matagal mo na na gusto matapos iyon. Mas mabuting tapusin na natin bago ka bumalik ng Italy."Humawak siya sa kamay ko, at saka umikot ang tingin sa akin. Tumayo siya at nakatingala na ako ngayon sa kanya.Matangkad si Morris, at polido ang katawan. His broad

Morris."How are you feeling, Nay?" I gazed at her with concern. Brielle hadn't shared the truth about yesterday's events, and I learned about it only from Nay Belen."Okay lang, dong. I'm good, oi. Why worried? I was having fun there, you know." Humalakhak si Nanay at napangiti ako."Nag-alala ako, Nay. . . You are no longer young to wander around on your own. So, please be very careful." I gave her a quick hug."Oo naman. . . Hindi ko pa pwedeng iwan si Brielle ano." She smirked at Brielle, and my darling Brielle looked worried at her.I moved to her side. "Why didn't you tell me yesterday? I could have helped," I whispered."Okay lang. Wala namang nangyari. Naka-uwi naman kami ng maayos dalawa ni Tiya." She placed the food she made on the table."Next time, please let me know first, Bree," I gritted my teeth. "I'm here. I should be the first person to know. And the first person you seek for help."We stared, and she nodded gently."Next time. I will seek you first before anything

Brielle.Nakaraos din ang gabi at heto, tulala ako sa sarili.His mother and brother, Glenn, left about an hour ago. Morris and I stayed because this restaurant also provides overnight accommodations for those who wish to stay longer than a day.Hinintay ko lang na matapos si Morris sa banyo at ako na ang kasunod. Wala ako sa sarili kanina at pilit akong nakikisama sa ina niya.She asked many questions as if she were one of my teachers in school. She seemed classy, as she came from a good family, the Monteverde.Ngayon ko lang napagtanto na hindi basta-basta ang pamilya ni Morris. May pangalan siya. May pinangangalagaan. May sari-saring negosyo sa buong Asya at Amerika and mga magulang at kapatid niya. Si Morris lang ang naiiba at hindi ko alam kung bakit. Ang alam ko lang ay may negosyo rin naman siya sa Italya, pero hindi raw kalakihan ito. Hindi raw tulad ng kapatid niyang si Glenn at ng mga magulang niya."Are you alright?"I spun, and there he was, standing a few feet from me, a

Morris."Just meet them. That's the only way. Glenn is doing everything he could. He is in a tight sport, Mors. Hindi ko ito sasabihin sa 'yo ngayon. Pero ginagawa ni Glenn ang lahat para sa 'yo. He might be heartless, but he loves you as his brother."I shut my eyes while listening to Reeve in the line. Wala siya rito at nasa Amerika. Pansamantala, ay si Glenn ang humahawak sa negosyo niya na nasa parehong Isla."I already gave Glenn the details, and your mother will be there. Meet them for once," he added.I gritted my teeth. "I hate the old man," I uttered under my breath."He is not around the country at the moment. It's a good opportunity, Mors. And with the deal Glenn made with your father, it saves you."I inhaled deeply and shook my head.That lunatic Glenn, really? How many times I told him not to worry about me. He needs to worry about himself first! Ang tigas ng ulo niya."I know what you're thinking, Morris. Glenn is your brother. You and him are the same, bro. Hard heade

Brielle."All of the sudden? Akala ko ba hindi ka seryoso sa relasyon na ito? Hindi ba sinabi mo sa akin na wala kang maipapangako?" I looked at him, confused, thinking of the other way around. Excited ako, at kabog ang pintig ng puso ko habang dikit ang tingin ko sa mga mata niya. Napaigting siya, at nakuha ko agad ang ibig niyang sabihin.I sighed, feeling disappointed. "Okay lang, Morris. You don't have to force yourself to introduce me to your parents. I'm not ready for this." Inunahan ko na. I shook my head and turned away from him. I know I should be celebrating because most woman looks forward to this... To introduce them to the parents of the person they love. But Morris is different. We already had a deal. He doesn't want any lingering promises, and I don't like this. I don't want a commitment. Kahit pa sabihin na natin na sabik ako at gusto ko naman, ay puno naman ng pag-aalala ang puso ko. Kaya mas mabuting wala na."Hey, Bree. Listen to me." He followed me.I paused an

Morris."Did you stuff it up?" Bryce asked in the line."No. I did not, asshole. I'm not as sick as you," I laughed while connecting the line to Linus."Fuck. You know you're an asshole, too, at times, Mors. You almost give me a heart attack, bro." He chuckled. His line came back clear now, and I can see him better than before."Yo, looks great! What did you do to yourself, Mors? You're finger-licking good, man," Linus spat. He can see me better, too.My face flushed, and I shook my head."Psst, keep quiet, gentleman. Let me remind you that our big black bear is in love." Diezel uttered."What? Damn. Are you serious?" Bryce's mouth parted. "I can't believe it." He shook his head."Oh well, who's the lucky girl?" Linus smiled."Let me guess? Is it Brielle? Siya lang naman ang magtitiyaga sa isang katulad mo, Mors," kantyaw ng walanghiyang Diezel."Stuff you." I cursed and growled at him, and the rest of them laughed."Ibang klase… So, this Brielle what she's like?" Linus asked."Oh, u
