Diego De Luna, Over My Dead Body The Billionaire SC8
Erykah Sunshine."Sorry, Miss." Nanginig ang tuhod ko nang maupo ako sa upuan na para sa akin. Sandaling pinikit ko ang mga mata at saka huminga nang malalim."Excuse me, Miss. Can I have some cold water?" I asked the flight attendant, who nodded. She came back quickly with a glass of cold water in hand."Thank you." Mabilis ko itong iniom dahil kanina pa nanunuyo ang lalamunan ko.The kidnappers drove me back to my unit, and I was just quick to get what I wanted.Ni wala akong kinuha na damit at tanging pasaporte at ang bag ko lang at cellphone. Ni hindi ko pinakita ang cellphone ko sa dalawang kidnaper at inutusan ko agad sila rito sa airport. Umalis din agad sila, pero nababahala ako. Alam kong nakatambay lang ang dalawang iyon sa labas. Nagmamasid kung talagang aalis ako.I managed to get a seat in the last minute and it's here in the first class. Hindi ko ginamit ang card ko dahil ma-t-trace lang ito ni Emelda. Kaya ginamit ko ang extrang meron ako at nag-iisa lang ito. Wala mas

Zebedee Glenn.ApplicantsTwo hundred eight applicants. None of them passed. Dammit.I rested my head on the chair headrest and massaged my temple. My head was spinning as I was thinking about many things, mainly the business. I will become busy in the following months. A project down the Visayas will cover most of my days there. It's a huge project led by Reeve and, of course, me. I want to build a sports hotel complex with all the necessary amenities. But before that, I need to find a secretary who can help me with my schedule. I thought it would be as easy as what Reeve suggested. But damn, it's been three months, and I couldn't find the right one."Ano, may nahanap ka na ba?" Tumaas bahagya ang isang kilay ko at umiwas agad ako sa titig niya."Not yet." I sighed in desperation as I unfolded the folder in front of me. Another project again to work on."I don't think you will find the right one, Glenn. You're standard is over the roof. Do you think there's a woman that is progra

Erykah Sunshine.Yes Sir..Nakaupo ako sa waiting area sa loob ng firm na ito. Malaki ang gusali. Mataas at maraming palapag. Ang sabi ni Nanay, ay may iba't-ibang departamento ang bawat lebel at magiging madali lang din sa akin ang paglilinis kapag nasanay na ako.Bitbit ang konti kong dokumento ay matiya akong naghintay sa kaibigan ni Nanay. Siya raw ang magpapasa nito sa HR para sa posisyon na janitor. Okay na ako sa trabaho na ito. Ang kailangan ko lang ay may matutuluyan ako pansamantala. Kapag kasi natangap raw kasi ako ng kompanyang ito, ay may sarili silang unit para sa in-house cleaners nila.Dalawang oras na akong nahihintay at halos kasabay ko ang mga pormal na applikante kanina. Tapos na silang lahat. Nagsi-uwian na nga ang lahat sa kanila at heto, ako na lang ang natira.Humugot ako nang malalim na hininga at saka tinitigan ang babae sa reception desk. Ngumiti ako sa kanya. Alam kong hindi niya ako napapansin o baka naman sanay na sila sa dami ng tao sa bawat araw rito

Erykah Sunshine.SnobHe is devilishly hot.What the. . . What am I thinking right now? Hindi porke't engineer siya ay type ko na? Hello, Erykah, naghahanap ka ng trabaho ngayon at hindi ka magpapa-cute sa boss mo. Sigaw ng isip ko.I blow an air out on my imaginary bangs. Imaginary lang dahil wala naman talaga akong bangs. Mainit pa ang pakiramdam ko at para pa akong statwa sa driver seat.Lumabas siya at sinunod ko siya nang tingin, hanggang sa nilingon niya ako at nagtagpo bahagya ang kilay niya."Oh? D-Do you need me to go with you, sir?" Pasigaw ko. Bukas naman kasi ang bintana ko rito."Isn't it obvious?" He hissed after looking at me and trailed off.Mabilis pa sa robot ang kilos ko at inayos kong mabilisan ang sarili at patakbong sinundan siya. I kept my distance behind him quitely.Nang pumasok kami sa loob ng sports club ay masiglang binati siya nang mga nasa reception. Pawang mga babae iyon at halatang nagpapa-cute sa kanya."Engr, do you need and umbrella girl?" tanong ng

Zebedee Glenn.What a disaster. She's a lunatic.I jerked my head up and slightly laughed at myself. What the heck am I thinking? Why did I even go for a test with her? She's tough, alright, and it seems like she could do a lot better than what I've seen in her today. But damn, I don't want to see her again.I composed myself as the rest of the members were back in their seats. My father looked at me confusingly."Where did your umbrella girl go, Glenn?" Akiko asked. He took off his thick glasses and cleaned it.I gritted my teeth. "She's gone.""Oh, pinaalis mo? Hindi mo man lang pinasabay sa ibang umbrella girls para sa refreshments?" Ngumisi siya at sandaling napailing.I cleared my throat and didn't answer. I pretended that the conversation didn't exist as everyone looked at me now, waiting for an answer.My father cleared his throat, trying to cut off the conversation, and the door opened. The staff served our food.Now that I'm looking at the food, I cannot help but feel a litt

Erykah Sunshine.OfferIt's been a week. I didn’t get any calls from that damn jerk engineer. Hmp, so I failed?I hissed as I twisted my mouth, feeling so defeated. After all, what I did that day was a big fail.Sana nga pala hindi ko binigla ang engineer na iyon. Siguro matatangap pa ako. Pero wala na. Tapos na. Pinagsisihan ko na."Are you okay, Nay?"Panay ang ubo ni Nanay sa sarili. Noong isang araw ko pa ito napansin sa kanya. Sinabihan ko na siya na magpahinaga pero matigas ang ulo niya. Kaya heto, pagkatapos ko mag umagahan ay pinuntahan ko siya rito sa puwesto niya at dinalhan siya ng snacks."Ubo lang ito, anak. Mawawala rin." Ngumiti siya at ininom ang tubig na binigay ko."Mawawala? Paano mawawala kung walang gamot, Nay? Ano 'yan magic?" Bahagyang tawa ko. Lahat ng mga tao ay ganito mag-isip. Pero sa init nang panahon ngayon at pabago-bagong klima ay hindi basta-basta mawawala ang ubo kung walang gamot."Nay, we are now living in a new age. Just stay there. I will buy you

Glenn.Great. What a good timing.I did not expect to see her inside my office. She was temporarily relieving Nay Mira. I've seen Nay Mira before. Madalas ako sa opisina ko lalo na kung may mga bagong proyekto na kailangan kong matapos. Nanay only does cleaning every weekends. Day off kasi ito ng mga cleaner sa firm.I admit it. I was kind of lost a while ago, but then seeing her again took the weight off my shoulders. That's how I describe that. That was somehow how I felt earlier."Any good news?" si Drew, tinapik niyang bahagya ang balikat ko at saka naupo na sa tabi ko."Yes. I was just finalizing the paperwork," I said as I grabbed the right folder. It was on the top."May nahanap ka na ba? Beauty told me that you are looking for a responsible and trusted PA. I can help you with that.""No need, Drew. I found her." I smiled, feeling confident this time."Really? That's good. So, ano? Sasama ka sa survey ngayong linggo?""Oo. I will take my new PA with me.""That's good. Then, I

Erykha Sunshine.What a short-tempered engineer.I almost twisted my lips in dismay as I looked at him, walking back and forth while talking to someone in the line. I should be going home right now, right? I should be. Kanina pa ako rito, at tapos na ako sa pinapagawa niya. Akala ko ba may family lunch gathering siya, eh, lagpas alas dose na.Ang inakala kong janitress ay PA pala.Oh, well, not bad, as I don't mind this job. I'm okay with this. It's a big bonus twist, and I didn't expect this."Excuse me, Sir?" I interrupted with a signaled in hand.Nahinto agad siya at kunot-noo akong tinitigan. He paused talking to someone in the line when I signaled the time using my hand."You have a lunch with family, remember?" I said in a whisper signed. Kahit papaano ay alam ko kung paano mag sign language, dahil pinag-aralan ko ito.Tumango agad siya at tiningnan ang oras sa relo na suot niya. Napansin ko agad ang relo niya. Ito lang yata ang magarbo at mahal sa lahat ng nasa katawan niya.

Brielle.I look at the blue sea sadly, feeling uncomfortable at the moment, trying to make everything alright.Gusto kong manatili kami ni tiya rito, para pagkabalik ni Morris ay nandito pa rin ako. Nagdadalawang isip na tuloy ako ngayon. Hindi ko alam kung tutuloy pa ba kami sa paglilipat ni tiya sa malayong isla na iyon.Ibinaon ko ang paa sa buhangin at ramdam ko ang lamig nito sa ilalim. Nilingon kong muli si Morris mula sa karagatan.Malayo siya, at hindi ko na halos makita."Inomin mo muna ito, anak." Inilagay ni tiya ang malamig na inomin na gawa niya. At kasama na ang kay Morris."Salamat, tiya." Tinikman ko agad ito, at ibinalik ko lang ang mga mata ko sa kung nasaan na si Morris ngayon. Tahimik ako at panag ang pagbuntonghininga sa sarili."Babalik na ako sa tindahan," aniya. Hindi ako kumibo at tulala pa rin habang pinagmasdan si Morris."Mamimiss mo ano?"Ang akala ko ay umalis na si tiya… hindi pa pala. Nilingon ko siya at katulad ko, ay nakatingin din pala siya kay Morr

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
