“You’re creeping me out,” I scoffed. Like whom wouldn’t? Silence fell upon us and then Ian was staring at me like some kind of psychopath who’s planning my murder merrily.

He chortled. “Look, sorry for always making fun of you, Amanda,” Ian said out of nowhere.

Huh? What’s gotten to his head.

“Are you for real? Because this is so new of you.”

Ian shrugged his shoulders. “It’s just that… Hunter — our boss, he’s like my brother. Trust me, we’ve been through worst together.”

“Like a girlfriend and boyfriend worst?”

“No—”

“Eh?”

“Like siblings,” a melancholic smile appeared on his face. “His heart is pure. And God blessed him because he witnessed Hunter’s battles. And I am thankful, that someone like you, loves him without being blinded by his wealth and fame.”

It made me fell silent. “I loved Hunter for who he was,” I said. But how come he still portray that innocent man when he knew that he’s making me as his mistress?

Let alone his bed warmer?

“So, whatever you’re thinking. D

    [katalina]I stood at my porch. Watching the car driving away. Did he know? Or he knew? It confuses me. And if so, why does Ian didn’t take any action to stop me?Is he doing this reverse psychology? To make me feel bad about myself than I already did. That’s… insane. Heaving a sigh and entered the apartment.Where the hell is Jerry? That son of a bitch didn’t come here tonight. Well, it’s clear to say that he’s still asleep. I tried calling his number, but it will just redirect me to his voicemail.My body shivered. Damn. And since when does my house get this cold? It felt like I am standing near a tall air conditioner. Which is totally uncomfortable.Dragging my feet to my bedroom and threw myself in my bed. “I’m tired,” I said to myself. I didn’t bother turning on the lights. It will be useless. Since I’ll be sleeping back any time soon.I opened my purse. And turned-on Hunter’s phone. It was then I just realized that his wallpaper. Was… me. A picture of me who’s sleeping in his ar

    [katalina]I was about to hop in shower. But my phone rang in the bed. It made me lay back there and answered my boss’ call.“Hello, Kat? Shit. I wasn’t able to answer your call last night. I always put it on do not disturb every midnight!” he explained abruptly.I sighed. “Nah. Everything is under control,” my response.“What are you supposed to tell me last night?” Jerry asked.So, I told him about how he should pretend at my uncle and wait at my porch. So, by the time I will arrive here — I mean we, Ian and I, Jerry would be the back up of my lies.He chuckled. “Damn you’re getting clever and wiser each day. Who are you again?” he jokingly asked.It made me chuckle. “Yeah. So, I got his phone. But I need a good technician that can unlock this.”“I happened to know one.”“Great! Because one last mistake of passcode input, all of his data in this phone will be wiped out,” I informed him, in case he wasn’t aware.Jerry gasped on the other line. “That’s… predictable. But no need to pan

    [katalina]“Fine, I won’t,” I said.Relief suffused his expression. “Thank, God, Amanda—”“I’ll just tell the cops,” a grin appeared in my lips.Ian shrugged his shoulders. “Oh. Whatever. So long that you won’t tell it to our boss.”I raised a brow. “Excuse me?” I scoffed. “Have you heard what you’re saying? Ian, taking drugs is illegal. It is punishable by law.”“I’m not dumb. And besides, it’s just a one-time thing. Curiosity wise. And if you do tell the cops, I can bail my own self anytime,” he confidently responded.The thing about this man is that he can always find a loophole even if it’s as small as the needle’s hole. Ian can escape.“Okay, mister lawfully abiding citizen.”I left him at my couch. Hunter needs me to cook breakfast for him. And we still have work! I mean, I need to use all my resources right now. Because I can tell that I am close to finishing this.The exposé.I hurried myself to put on clothes. Just the usual corporate uniform that I always wear inside the com

    [katalina]When we arrived at his office, Hunter sat on his swivel chair and open his laptop like he always does. While I, opened the tablet that contains his schedules for the day.Oh. Another meeting with the partners? What for? Ahh. Another business proposal. I mean, what’s new? Hunter is full of ideas. Every now and then, he’ll think of new ways to expound his fortune.I quietly sat on the couch across him. Even if how many times my gaze locks on his eyes, I still have this feeling that I can’t shake. In a good way of course. It always feels like the first time I saw him.I know right. Sounds nostalgic and unbelievable. But this wow factor that Hunter carries — it is unexplainable. How come he is built this way? Was he one of God’s favorite children?It is nearly impossible that I’d be immune in his charms. More likely, how can I survive a day without… near him or seeing him? That’s unfortunate.“What’s the frown for?” Hunter asked.The keyboard sounds resonated in the office.My

    [katalina]I was left inside his office. Again. More likely, we both didn’t want it to happen. Why am I getting sudden dizziness? Dehydrated? No. I’m a water girl. I mean like I’m a fan of water. And sure, as hell, I consume more than eight glasses of water a day.This dizziness I felt — keeps me puking from time to time. Hunter was about to cancel his meeting with the board right now. After he knew my condition.Are you sure you’ll be okay here? I can still recall Hunter’s question. It keeps playing inside my head. The more I think about it, the more I feel emotional. What the hell is happening to me? Are my hormones uncontrollable?But why the sudden headache? There is no cause that I can point to this dilemma. The next thing I knew is that tears were falling from my eyes.“Fuck!” I cursed in the air. It confuses me. There’s no reason for me to cry. But my emotions make me. I wiped the tears in my eyes. Whatever the hell is happening to me right now, this is no good.I could tell.

    [katalina]“What’s taking so long?”I couldn’t help but crack the silence that enveloped us. Jerry rolled his eyes at me and poured his cup with tea. “Be patience. You’re no technician to rush things.”I sighed and sat back on my chair. We’re at the island of my kitchen. Not that spacious. But this is the place where Adam was comfortable to do it. Adam was Jerry’s friend — technician friend.My tongue is itching to ask Adam if he’s a technician. Otherwise, why the hell is it taking eternity to open a damn phone?Adam wiped the sweats formed on his forehead. “This is a secured one,” he lifted his gaze at me. “Something or there are files here that is very crucial.”A nod was my response. “Right. So, how many minutes or hours left?” I slightly chuckled. But then Jerry clicked his tongue. “Stop pressuring him!” he said.I raised my hands in the air as if surrendering. “Fine. I’m just curious.”And impatient too.I can’t wait to take him down.It’s past 1 am. And my eyelids are getting he

    [katalina]If the kettle didn’t whir, I’d still be spacing out. “Damn,” I turned off the electric stove and pour the boiling water in the thermos.I already transferred the necessary files I needed. Just a little bit and I’ll be done. Hunter’s phone is like a dictionary. Everything has a definition based on their usage.My perception of him has changed. Loyalty has a different meaning when it comes to Hunter. He doesn’t have one. And how could he, prioritize me when his daughter needed him more.The time when we spend at the beach, was the same time that the kid got a high fever that nearly sent him to the emergency room! She had dengue.He has all the money in the world. But can’t afford the right equipment and measurement to ensure his child’s safety. Irresponsible. That’s what he is.His phone was connected to my laptop while transferring. And I couldn’t stop feeling guilty every time I see the wallpaper of Hunter’s phone.Me.A stolen picture of me during the charity gala he once

    [katalina]“Darn. I missed seeing your face,” Ian chuckled.I closed the door as I sat on the back seat. Ian was staring at me in the front mirror. With a wide smile on his face. Which never fails to irk me.A fake gasp eluded from my mouth. “How long haven’t we seen each other? A year? A decade?”Geez this man. It’s just three days. What was supposed to be a one-day trip got extended. Hunter and I kept exchanging messages that time.And so does my boss from where I originally work.Ian’s face saddened. “Why are you mean to me?” he pouted. I rolled my eyes at him. “What are you now? Mr. Sensitive?”He chuckled and twisted his head to look at me. “Damn, girl. Why so sour?” Ian said. “But you look blooming,” he faked a cough. “I mean, more blooming. Plus… you’re gaining some weight.”His words echoed in my head. I stared at my reflection in the car’s mirror. And I noticed that Ian was right. That explains why my upper clothing is hugging my body. And my boobs, they are quite bigger than

    [3rd Person’s POV]END OF FLASHBACK “Well,” Jerry sighed. “It’s not easy on your part to narrate it all but thank you for reminding me everything. And telling to me what happened behind the curtains,” he smiled.Katalina chuckled. “You made it sound terrible when you said what happened behind the curtains,” she wiped her dried tears. “It’s not that bad. I mean, it’s chaotic and slows down my process of moving on but it is what it is. And I think it is my karma that I find it difficult to forget my past,” she said.Jerry heaved a sigh and finished his food. “I don’t agree with the karma part. But I think, and what you should be thinking also is that it is a lesson that we can’t forget. Karma sounds like you’re a terrible person,” he scoffed.She shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t know, Jerry. Am I a terrible person? I mean, why would I even ask that question when it is so obvious that I destroyed Hunter’s reputation and my exposé caused the downfall of his legacy.”He snorted. “You keep

I mean that you wanted to save what’s left of Hunter’s reputation. But have you asked yourself?” Jerry said.Katalina shook her head. “Ask myself what?”“That aren’t you too late for this? Okay, let’s say that you did a press conference. Okay. But what’s the essence? Your exposé came out first than your press con? And the people would not just hate you as well. But also, it will undermine all your credibility not just as a writer or a researcher. But as a human being,” he smiled sadly.Jerry shrugged his shoulders. “It’s too late, okay. But the idea was good. I know it is. Yet, it’s useless if in case you would do it. And trust me, it would hurt Hunter more than it would hurt you. The press conference that you’re thinking would just add more fuel to the fire. It’s not worth it. And that is n

No matter how much remorse she felt, it’s useless. Time can’t be rewound.Katalina was lying on the kitchen floor. Dried tears around her eyes. Spacing out for hours. If it her stomach didn’t churn up, she wouldn’t be back in her rightful senses.A loud gasp escaped from her mouth. Echoing in the kitchen. Gently as she rose, somehow, in spite of lacking energy, she prepared a breakfast.Eating silently, it’s just know that she didn’t appreciate the silence. It was terrifying. Soul-tearing. Makes her desperate. Drowning her even more. She lifted her head. Hearing a sudden knock on the door. It was seven in the morning. She did not expect any visitors to arrive. Pushing the chair and walked to the front door.A line etched on her forehead. Her hand were latched on the knob. But she stopped opening it as she heard clattering outside h

And she couldn’t feel any energy anymore.It was dark outside. eleven hours passed after the exposé got released from mainstream media. Her phone vibrated on the carpet. The vibrations awakened her.Fluttering her eyes open, Katalina’s forehead creased. She soon then felt severe headache.

The drama that ties her name even though she didn’t release the exposé.The phone call caught her attention. With trembling hands, Katalina answered it. “H-Hello?” her voice was hoarse.

That would ask her. And the circumstances concludes Jerry to be the person.“How?” he asked softly. It was hard for Jerry to ask. He sees Katalina as her friend. Best friend. A sister from another womb. He respects her. And he felt the need to check up on her. All the things she said was a response in general. Addressing no topic. And pertaining a safe answer.Her upper lip trembled. “W-What do you mean how?” a stiffened laugh escaped from her lips. She swallowed her own saliva. There are tons of questions going into her head.“How did you end up with Preston?” Jerry finally asked.She fell silent. Katalina couldn’t move. The question hit her so hard.
