.

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

    Brielle.I could only manage my best smile as Nicolo dominated the conversation, focusing on himself and his businesses. He never misses a chance to show off his achievements! Duh. Kailan ba siya matatapos? Nakakainis na."Look at you two. You seem perfect for each other. I can't wait to see you get married," tugon ni Papa."Oh, honey, huwag mong madaliin si Brielle. Mangyayari rin ito. Hindi ba, anak?" si Mama sa akin. Naka videocall si Mama at si Papa ang may hawak ng cell phone. Wala siya rito at kami-kami lang din.Lumakas ang tawa ni Nicolo. "And I can't wait for that, too, Mamita. I'm sure Brielle and I will have lovely offspring!" Pumalakpak siya.Offspring ba kamo? Baka e-offspring ko kaya ang ulo niya sa katawan. Kung puwde lang!They all laughed, and I slightly chuckled to hide my anger. I'm not in the mood to play whatever my father is playing right now. I expect a different approach as I requested this holiday. But dang it, they couldn't even give me a little of my time

    Brielle.It's annoying. No matter how hard I tried to become the saint they want me to be, I just can't do that. It doesn't fit me. Papa ang Nicolo are here, and sooner or later, they'll be here in front of me without me knowing it. I need to do something. I don't want to be tied up to Nicolo. I don't like to be his wife."Are you ready? It's time to go, Bree."Tumango lang ako at saka tahimik na nakasunod kay Antonella. Bibisitahin ko ang kakambal ko. Unang pagkakataon ko itong makita ang puntod niya."Dito lang ako. Nakabisita na ako eh…at saka may tatawagan ako, Bree. Take your time, gurl." Kinindatan niya lang ako at saka bahagyang tumalikod.It was an easy drive, probably an hour. The cemetery is not familiar to me. It's decent and quiet—the type of place where most rich people are laid to rest.So, dito nilibing si Brielle? Ito ang huling hantungan niya?Mahina ang bawat hakbang ko patungo sa puntod niya. Kakaiba nga naman ang puntod ni Bree. Sadyang pinagawa ito na puno ng pa

    Morris.So, here I am again, watching her like a lunatic. I should act now and carry out my plan. I realize it's selfish, but I don't care. I have no time to waste—I'm running out of it."Let us know if there's something you want us to do, boss. I heard that the Del Santibella Clan is moving now, aiming at our borders. What do you want us to do, boss?" Renzo is in the line, giving me an update.Dapat sana ay nasa Sicily na ako ngayon. Pero dahil sa kabaliwan na ito, ay heto, nandito pa ako sa Pilipinas at pinagmamatyagan ko pa si Brielle.After learning everything, I decided to stay for a few weeks because I wanted to be close to her again.I don't know what it is, but I can't just walk away like I used to. I need closure so I can move on. I know my wife is no longer alive. I know that this person who looks exactly like Brielle is Brielle's twin sister. I know that. That's the truth, but still, I can't walk away and move on.Sadyang may pumipigil sa akin, at ito ang damdamin ko. Mahi

    Morris.Her twin? Brielle has a twin? Linus suspects that Brielle has a twin, and now, I have the copy of those documents with me, together with one picture.Damn it. How the hell did that happen? She did not know anything about her birth parents. She has no recollection of anything. She only knew that Nay Cynthis took her and cared for her when she was just a little child.What the hell are they trying to say? This paperwork is full of lies! How could this be?Wala ito noon, pero ngayon? Bakit may papelis na tungkol sa pagkatao ni Gabrielle Santibella.She had the same name as my wife, Gabrielle, except that my wife was a Mondragon when she passed away.Damn, I need to see Nay Cynthia and ask about Brielle's history. Linus' information did not say much. He told me that there could be more, but the system he hacked was protected with a thicker firewall. He needs to get Stern to help him with the job.Wala akong sinayang na oras. At imbes na lumipad patungong Italya, ay kinansela ko a

    Brielle."Are you okay? Kilala mo ba 'yon?"Antonella looked puzzled at me. She's worried and is now ordering the security team to implement tighter measures."Nakakainis! Ang tatanga ninyo!" Sigaw niya sa mga ito. "Doon na nga kayo sa mga puwesto ninyo! Mabuti nalang talaga at walang nangyari. Lahat kaya mananagot talaga kay Mama!" Sigaw niya sa mga ito.Si Mama agad ang naisip ko. Napabuntong-hininga na ako at tinalikuran pansamantala si Antonella. Ininom ko ang malamig na tubig habang nag-iisip.Magpahanggang ngayon ay hindi ko pa rin makuhang kumalma. Ramdam ko pa rin ang tinding kaba sa puso at hanggang ngayon ay malinaw pa rin sa akin ang mukha niya.'Brielle…'I shut my eyes as I heard his voice again in the back of my mind. How can he look at me like that? His gaze was intense, as if he was looking into my soul. It was too late for me to gather myself, because the moment our eyes met, my heart was drawn to him deeply."Please don't report this to Mama, Bree. Ayaw kong...""N

    Morris."Did you have a close look, Mors? What do you think? I know you can sense it better because it's you. You're the husband. You know Brielle inside and out, right?"I gritted my teeth as we stared.Diego probably can sense the tension in me. I sigh and dip my head halfway, shutting my eyes for a moment.Hindi ako puwedeng magkamali. Si Brielle iyon!She has the same scent as my Brielle. And when I touched her, closer to my body, I felt more than the need, like all the living cells in my body had come to life again. I never felt that way before, and only Brielle can evoke that type of feeling in me.Damn it. This is insane. I don't know how to handle this feeling."Okay, silence means, yes…" The idiot chuckled at me."So, what's the next move, Mors? Do you need a hand? Come on, Mors, tell me what you want to do?"Namaywang ako at saka umiwas kay Diego. Kailangan kong makausap si Linus. Siguro naman sa oras na ito ay may bagong impormasyon na siya sa akin. Kailangan ko ng bagong
