Erykah Sunshine."Salamat, Manong, ah. Don't worry, Manong, may komisyon ka sa akin!" Thumbs up ko. Bahagyang natawa si Manong Max at napailing ito. Hinila na niya agad ang lubid na pinagtalihan sa yate.Glenn, along with his father and the others, left the VB an hour ago. Saber was eager to go to the island earlier without me because Glenn's mother arrived last night.Parang nawala ako sa eksena kagabi dahil hindi ko inaasahan ang pagdating ng Mama ni Glenn. She was with her bodyguards and it was obvious that Glenn's father knew she's coming. Hindi niya lang sinabi, dahil siguro ayaw niyang umalis si Glenn ng maaga na kasama ako. Ramdam ko sa kilos ng Papa Glenn kagabi ito. Pinipilit niyang isali ako sa pamilya nila. Pero mailap ang Mama ni Glenn. Halatang ayaw niya sa akin.They all left this morning using the big yacht.Last night, I had a quick conversation with Manong Max. I asked him if he knows how to maneuver a yatch and if possible we could use the small one for today. Mabut
Zebedee Glenn.The phone slipped through my hand, and it landed on the floor."Glenn? Hey! Are you there?"Ilang segundo ko itong tinitigan, hanggang sa bumalik ang utak ko noong una ko siyang nasilayan sa SOLO FF.There must be a reason why she was there at that time. I heard, the Brittsman Corporation was one of the leading sponsors of SOLO at that time.Dammit. No wonder Papa was so keen to me to go there. He told me that a dear friend of his wanted to meet me at that time, but I refused. Maliban kasi sa may gustong ipa-bid sa akin si Mama noon, ay hindi ako sumipot sa usapan namin ni Papa na magkita.I don't want an arranged marriage. I don't want them to choose for me because I want to find the right one for myself."Glenn?""Yes, I'm here. I'll call you back later, Xav. Thank you," I said, ending the call. I whirled around and looked at them ahead. They're already on the sand and see the other people around them.Mabilis kong pinaandar ang jetski at saka inihinto ito sa tabi ng
Erykah Sunshine.I keep my stand as I looked at Glenn's parents. For me, their reaction is important. Glenn's mother looked shocked, her eyes widened as she looked at me. Halos matumba siya at mabuti na lang ay mahigpit ang hawak ng Papa ni Glenn sa kanya."I'm sorry, Tita, Tito…" Ito lang ang lumabas sa bibig ko.I still call them Tito and Tita because they haven't accepted me as Glenn's wife, and I respect that."What did you say?" Saber came in a defense."You heard her, right. Erykah Sunshine Britts is the only daughter of Mr. Benjamin Britts to her deceased wife Sunshine Beaumont-Britts, who happened to own this Island," Philip started.Tumahimik na ako at hinayaan na si Philip na magsalita pansamantala. Naka-focus na ang mga mata ko sa dalawang taong kontrabida sa buhay ko. . . sina Emelda at Sarah."I have all the legal documents with me. I worked at Brittsman Corporation as one of their legal advisers. Judge Caladios provided all the legalities within the last will and testam
Zebedee Glenn.Dammit. What am I doing? Why am I acting like this?I just realized that Eres agreed to marry me because of the contents of her parent's will. What the hell.I gritted my teeth, and my heart ached for her the moment she turned her back away from me.Gusto ko lang naman na masulo siya. Gusto ko lang naman na makausap siya at makapag-usap kami. Marami akong tanong, pero hindi ko kayang itanong ngayon ito sa kanya.After hearing and witnessing, I no longer have the energy to ask her why she needs to hide her identity. It's obvious. Those people who are supposed to be her family want her dead."Erykah. . ." I followed her. My strides are longer.Kinausap ko si Papa saglit at pinasigurado sa kanya na hindi papakawalan ng mga pulis ang dalawa. Philip is present to provide evidence, and Simone must have been shocked to discover this, just like me. We didn't see this coming.She stopped the moment she reached the tent and grabbed a cold drink."May itatanong ka? Magtanong ka n
Erykah Sunshine.WE head back to the yatch holding hands like some kind of a teenager couple. Ang dami kong problema sa araw na ito, pero naglaho lahat dahil nakangiti ako. Kahit pa nakahawak ang isang kamay ni Glenn sa steering wheel ng yate, ay hindi niya mabitawan ang isang kamay niya sa akin."Kukuha muna ako ng maiinom." Tumayo ako at akmang bibitaw sa kanya. Pero ayaw niya akong bitawan talaga."I'll come with you.""What? You can't leave the boat without a captain on board. Otherwise, we will crash." I looked ahead and saw nothing in the wide ocean to bump into."I'll put it into auto pilot." May pinindot siya, at saka tumayo na. Tiningnan niyang mabuti ang screen at nang mapagtanto na okay, ay saka lang siya tumitig sa akin."What do you want to eat?" He looked down at my lips and licked his lower lip. I swallowed hard, and the butterflies inside my stomach danced."No. We're not doing that!" Pinutol ko agad kung ano ang iniisip niya ngayon. Natawa siya."What? I'm not think
Zebedee Glenn.Sumakit ang ulo ko. Ang hirap hulaan ng ugali niya at konti na lang mababaliw na ako rito."Okay, let me clear things up. You want me to attain the business until the end of this month. Is that right?" Reeve's sounded lethargic. He sighed."Yes, Reeve."Diezel made an impeccable laugh, looking at me in my misery. I gave him a dagger look, and that made him laugh again."I can't let Erykah go. I will fucking go insane," I mumbled under my breath."Sigarilyo, gusto mo?" Diezel offered and I jut look at it. In the end, I took it and puff a few."Okay. I will do that. I will wait for you when you come back. Mama might want to stay in the BV if that's okay.""Yes. Do anything you like. I will talk to the staff to prepare her room. I will prepare the one that's closer to the sea. It will do her good.""Thank you, Glenn. I appreciate that," Reeve winked.Reeve's mother is sick, and at the moment, the test came out of her having cancer. It's a stage one. Treatment is now requi
Erykah Sunshine."Glenn? Kanina ka pa ba?" I ran towards him like a child and hugged him tightly. "I miss you, babe!" I sniffed his chest and kissed him there.I miss him so much. Kahit pa araw-araw kaming nagkikita at nagkakasama ay namimiss ko siya ng sobra."I'm done with everything. Is there anything you want to do tonight?" I twinkled my eyes. I'm excited for us to go to the outdoor cinema. He promised me the other night that we would go for the last show of my favorite movie. It's a movie date before I fly to New York."No. I have no plan earlier, but I have a plan now."I twisted my lips, dismayed at his response. He smiled a little bit, trying to tease me again. My eyebrow raised."Is there something wrong?""No. Nothing," he blinked. "We can watch a movie now." Agap niya. Bumawi agad ang ekspresyon ng mukha niya sa akin."If you want to watch, we can do that. I have nothing on tonight.""Really? Then, let's go!" Sabay hila ko sa kanya palabas ng kwarto. Excited ako. Bahala n
Erykah Sunshine."Oh my, Glenn!?!" I unbuckled my seatbelt, stood up, and hugged him tightly. I was so excited, and I did not expect him to show up at the last minute."Akala ko ba. . ." Naiiyak ang boses ko at agad akong humalik sa kanya. Tumikhim ang flight attendant sa likod namin, at mabilis kong tinangal ang kamay ko kay Glenn."Please return to your seat, Ma'am, and fasten your seatbelt.""Oh, sorry, Miss!" Bumalik akong naupo at kasama na si Glenn ngayon. I licked my lips as I looked at him. Bakas sa labi niya ang lipstick ko kaya mabilis kong pinunasan ito gamit ang kamay ko.He smiled, sweet enough to melt me. He brings my hand to his lips and kisses me there."What happened? What about work?" I pursed my lips, and I felt the plane taking off. I briefly shut my eyes when I felt the weight of us going up the sky.Mahigpit ang hawak ni Glenn sa kamay ko at ganun din ako sa kanya. Masaya ako dahil kasama ko siya.After five minutes, the plane stabilized in the air, and the seat
Morris.What the. . . Bree!Before I could do something, Brielle's lifeless body landed on me helplessly. Then chaos followed.Iilang putok ng baril ang narinig ko at nagkagulo ang lahat ng tao. I did not care anymore about my surroundings because all I want to see is Brielle.I'm holding her helplessly, scared that I might lose her."Blue!?" I lift Brielle’s body, and her eyes immediately shut. I gritted my teeth as I searched for Bleu.I saw him chasing the woman, winding her up, and the rest of the guards followed the clash."Damn it!" I glanced around, and the people near me were looking at me with expressions of helplessness."Ambulance? I need an ambulance!""Tumawag na kami, Sir!""Damn it. Why the hell does it take so long!""Pasensya na, Sir. Pero ma-traffic talaga sa bahaging ito. Paakyat na rin po ang mga medics, Sir. May medics dito, Sir."My breath caught as I looked at my wife helplessly. My heart is now beating in fear, and my hand behind Brielle's body is covered in b
Brielle.Umiiyak si Tiya na nakangiti sa akin. Ramdam ko ito, at alam ko na masaya siya sa desesyon ko."As a power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride…"I looked at Morris with so much love. His lips landed on me and we kissed. Pumalakpak ang iilang katao sa paligid, kasama na si Judge. Niyakap ulit ako ni Morris, at saka bahagya akong binuhat."Mrs Brielle Mondragon?"Tumaas bahagya ang kilay ko. "Yes?""That sounds better, right? Te amo…" Bulong niya at saka hinalikan ulit ako.There's no event afterwards but a small feast was held on the top deck. Mabilis kasi ang lahat. Binibilisan ni Morris ito para maisama na niya ako sa Italya.Wala na akong pakialam sa lahat, dahil alam ko na masaya ako kay Morris, at alam ko na magiging okay si Tiya rito sa Pilipinas.I trust the people around us here, and the Mondragon Boys will protect Tiya. That's what Morris has promised me."Tiya, tumawag ka, okay? At alam mo naman kung paano ang messenger 'd
Morris."What are you planning, Morris?" Reeve looked at me seriously."You know you can't keep her with you, Mors. She doesn't have any documents to start with. Lahat ng mga papelis niya ay gawang ilegal. She uses different names to get out of the country." He chuckled and gave a slight shake of his head."It must be easy for her to get the job done, and she was lucky to go to Columbia for that. She got out safely and returned safely as well."Napabuntonghininga ako at nag iwas ng tingin kay Reeve."She can't go out now. The boarders are strict considering Italy hold it's immigration now at peak… Mahihirapan ka na ipasok siya sa bansang Italya."I gritted my teeth, and fucking damn it… I know that, but still, I want to try a different route to get her into Italy safely."I will find a way…" My brows met as I looked at the documents I had with me.Lahat ng impormasyon na hawak ko ngayon ay galing kay Linus at Xavion. Lahat ng ito ay tungkol sa organisasyon na kung saan ay nagsilbe si
Brielle.I'm glad that Morris understands me. I’m not sure if I should feel happy about this, but I won’t hide anything anymore. I will embrace it... I love him, and that's the honest truth."Morris. . ." Namaos ang boses ko at namungay ang mga mata niya nang dumapo ito sa labi ko.Kanina pa kami ganito, sabik sa isa't isa. Ang alam ko ay dapat sana aalis na kami papunta sa kung saan sina Glenn at Bryce, pero parang walang gusto na lumabas sa amin ni Morris sa kwartong ito. Kaya heto na naman kami… magkayap na huba't hubad. Nasa ibabaw ko siya, at masuyo niyang hinahalikan ang lahat ng parte sa katawan ko."Morris. . ." I swallowed the lump in my throat when I feel him sucking me below. I gasped, massaged his hair and clung to his arms as his hands were busy kneading my breasts.Nakakabaliw nga naman ang ganito sa akin. Lahat ng ginagawa ni Morris ay gustong-gusto ko. Lahat ng haplos, yakap, halik ay talagang gusto ko. Walang gabi na hindi ko siya inisip. Na mi miss ko siya ng sobra
Brielle.I twisted my lips as I looked at myself in front of the mirror.Nakakatawa ang t-shirt na suot ko at shorts. I'm sure kay Glenn ito. Mahilig nga naman siya sa mga ternong kulay. Magkaibang magkaiba sila ni Morris.Glenn is tidy at his stuff. Lahat nakaayos, at naka-plansa pa. Pero si Morris? Huh, kahit na habulin pa siya nito ay wala siyang pakialam.Ginulo ko ang buhok. Wala akong suklay. Tinapon yata lahat ni Morris ang gamit ko. Sana nga lang hindi niya tinapon ang ID ko at passaporte. Nandoon iyon sa bagpack. Binigay niya iyon kay Glenn.I feel so airy underneath. Wala akong panty. Basa iyon! Alanggan naman suotin ko eh basa pa nga!Huminga ako nang malalim at saka lumabas na. Wala si Morris sa kwarto. Siguro lumabas na. I grabbed some candy mint on the silver round bowl. May tsokolate naman, pero hindi ko gusto. Naiinis pa ako, at gusto kong kumalma muna.Aalis kaya ako? Pero saan naman ako pupunta? Wala rin akong pera! Kinuha lahat ni Morris 'yon. Walang cell phone. Ku
Morris.We found ourselves at Bryce's hideout, the nearest place to our location. It's well-positioned. The securities remain secure, and Cappytano has likely not tracked us yet. Bleu and Reeve, along with their team, are at Cappytano's site. If they find him, it will be a nightmare for Cappytano... this will be his end. "Sa labas muna kami ni Glenn, Mors. I will update you soon. Reeve and Bleu are on it now.""Okay. . ." Napaigting ang panga ko nang maisaradoni Bryce ang pinto ng kwartong ito.I inhaled deeply and turned halfway to look at Brielle. My brows knitted together as she averted her eyes, evading my piercing stare."What the hell are you doing there, Bree?" I already know the answers to that, but I still want to listen to her.I step closer towards her and she looks at me shyly. We stared."Come on, talk…" I placed my hands on my hips, preparing to listen.She blinked and swallowed hard. "C-Cappytano gave me the mission… Hindi ko naman alam na ikaw iyon!"I chuckled, sha
Morris.We have our plan. Bryce is here for that and Glenn is making himself the sidekick.My brother does not belong into this type of business. Malinis siya at iba ang linya ng mundo sa mundo ko, pero sadyang matigas ang ulo niya. Ito yata ang ugali namin na magkapareho.Renzo and the other boys remained extremely vigilant. Cappytano was making a move, trying to get a lot of bad people onto his side to put me down. But it was too bad, and he still couldn't bring me down that way. An ominous black sheep like me is hard to tame. I will kill him first before he can make his moves."We have a spy on our side, Mors. We need to find out who it is." Bryce furrowed his brow while working on the gadgets.Magaling siya, at katulad ni Xavion ay mabilis nilang nakukuha ang signal ng kalaban at napasok ang sistema nila.It must be because Bryce, Xavion, and Hendrix used to work in the same gang before. Of course, they all have the line that was given by their parents. Bryce may not have the sam
Brielle.Ba't hindi ko ito alam. Bakit wala akong alam sa pagkatao niya? Napaupo akong wala sa sarili at tulalang nakatitig sa kawalan.Si Morris ba talaga ang gusto ni Cappytano? Bakit? Pero nasa Italya na siya. Sigurado ako rito. Tinawagan niya ako noong nakaraang araw. Nasa Italya na si Morris!Pero. . . Ano 'to? Ba't may isang katulad niya? O, baka may kakambal siya?Kalokohan talaga!Ginulo ko ang buhok. Sumakit ang ulo ko, at ayaw ko ng basahin pa ang lahat ng tungkol sa kanya.Ibang Morris yata 'to eh? Kakambal niya? Ganoon lang siguro. Pero impossible talaga! Hindi maari ito.Binuklat ko ulit at tuluyan nang binasa ang lahat. Huminga ako nang malalim, at saka bahagyang natawa na sa sarili. Napatingin na tuloy ang iilang matanda na malapit lang sa kinauupuan ko. Siguro naisip nila na baliw na ako.Oo! Magiging baliw na yata ako sa mga sandaling ito!Dalawang basong tubig na malamig ang naubos ko. Malayo ang nilakad ko. Hindi ako sumakay ng taxi, at sinadya ko talaga na maglaka
Brielle.Nanginig ang tuhod ko nang tuluyan na akong nakalabas. Nagmaneho ang isa sa mga tauhan ni Cappytano para makabalik na ako sa lugar nila Clara.Ibibigay raw sa akin bukas ang kaisa-isang misyon ko at pera. Isa lang ang pinapagawa sa akin ni Cappytano. At kung matagumpay ko itong magampanan, ay pinangako niya na hindi na niya kailanman kami gugulohin ni tiya."Don't trust Cappytano, Brielle. Halang ang bituka niya. Wala akong tiwala sa kanya."At nakuha pa talaga ni Alfred na mag komento tungkol sa bagay na ito. Eh, siya nga itong nagpahamak sa akin!Nakabalik na kami at wala na ang mga tauhan ni Cappytano sa paligid ko. Pero alam kong meron nagmamanman sa akin ng sekreto. Maraming mga mata na sa paligid, kaya dapat ay mag iingat na ako sa bawat galaw ko."Get the hell out of here, Alfred! I don't need you. You better save yourself and run away from here." My eyes cut sharp on him."Kung ayaw mo na matuluyan ka, ay umalis ka na! Bumalik ka sa lungga mo!" Galit ko siyang tinali
