Leuco injected me something that made me fell asleep. I woke feeling so nauseous and something is building up in my stomach so I rushed to the toilet room and vomitted for the second time. Shit, I don't know what's happening to me that I keep on vomitting like this. Wala naman akong nakain na panis o expired na pagkain. I heard foot steps entering the toilet room. "Sab, okay ka lang ba? Do you want us to call the nurse?" ani Ate Cannarie habang hinahaplos ang likod ko. Umiling ako, "N-No, I'm fine. Lamig lang siguro 'to sa tiyan, I just need a jacket, I'm cold." Mabilis namang kumilos si Kuya Valerio kinuha ang jacket na suot niya at binigay ito sa akin. They all staring at me, Leuco is not here anymore. Only my cousins and Kuya Valerio. Nakapagdesisyon na ako, I don't wanna stay here anymore. I feel suffocated and I want to be alone in my own room for now, kaya naman nang lumabas ako ng cr ay seryoso ko silang tinignan. "Gusto ko ng umuwi, I can't stay here anymore. Discharge
It's been two days since I visited Rio and Demethri is still out of contact, I don't know if he's avoiding me or what. Maybe Leuco told him that he already blew the whistle and maybe Dem thinks that I'm mad at him. I'm kinda mad though. Pero mas nangingibabaw ang pagkaka-ibigan namin at ang pagkaka-intindi ko sa lahat ng ginawa nila. If it's for my safety, I don't have the right to be mad at him. He took care of me, he kept me safe for 4 years, I think that's long enough to forget that he lied to me. Ngayong araw na rin ay naisipan kong kailangan ko nang bumalik sa kumpanya ko. The board of directors are asking my secretary about me, bakit daw bigla akong nawala for days. Sinabi ko nalang sa secretary ko na nasa overseas meeting ako at may kailangan muna akong ayusin at ngayon nga ang balik ko. Mabuti nalang at hindi naman na umangal sila Kuya Connor at pinayagan ako sa gusto ko. I'm feeling quite better now. Nagsuot lang ako ng isang royal whole body suit na may anim na butone
Now it makes sense. I already noticed the tension between Loviere and Demethri 4 years ago. Noong oras na pinatay ang mommy ni Rio at nandoon si Loviere sa hideout nila sa mansion at ginagamot ang asawa ko. I saw how mad Demethri was when he told Loviere to get out. Loviere's first love was Rio. But when she met Demethri, things changed. He pursued her, he flirt with her until Loviere fell inlove with him. Kaya pala noong pinatay ang daddy at ang kapatid ni Rio ay kinancel nalang ni Loviere ang nalalapit sana nilang kasal dahil hindi maatim ng konsensya niyang lokohin si Rio. Demethri told me everything. But what confused me is the scene on Rio's office where Loviere was begging him to talk, alone. I still remember that. Alam kaya ni Rio na tinalo ng pinsan niya ang kaniyang fiancee? Ano kaya ang naramdaman niya about doon? Mukha naman silang walang alitan noon, o bulag lang talaga ako that time at hindi ko makita? Also the reason why they broke up too. Kung bakit iniwan din siya
Kasalukuyan kaming kumakain nang tumunog ang cellphone ni Kuya Valerio at nakita ko ang paglitaw ng pangalan ni Rio. Katabi ko lang kase siya at nakapatong sa lamesa ang kaniyang cellphone. Napahinto ako sa pagkain at napatingin sakanya. "Excuse me, I will just answer this," paalam niya sa amin bago tumayo. Kumakain kase kami ng almusal, kasama ko sa hapag ang mga pinsan ko, at sila Ruru. Ako lang ata ang nakakita kung sino ang tumatawag. Mabilis kong tinapos ang kinakain ko at agad na sinundan sa labas si Kuya Valerio. Susundan pa sana ako ng nurse ko nang senyasan ko siyang huwag na. I don't need any assistance or a chaperone dahil hindi naman ako lalabas ng mansyon. Hinanap ng mata ko kung nasaan si Kuya at nang makita ay mabilis akong lumapit sakanya. Sakto namang pagbaba niya ng cellphone niya kaya humarap na siya at napatingin sa akin. "Are you done eating?" I nodded. "I saw who's calling. May gusto lang sana ako itanong," diretso kong sambit. "Sure, go ahead." "U-Uh
Pigil na pigil akong hindi tumingin sa kabilang side ng mga upuan dahil alam kong doon nakapwesto si Rio. Natapos na ang vows at kissing scene nila kaya naman oras na para sa picture taking. Pinauna muna ang parents ng mga ikinasal at sumunod na kaming mga pinsan at mga abay. Pumwesto ako sa gilid ni Ate Cannarie at binigyan muna siya ng halik sa pisngi bago humarap sa camera. "I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you. Mom said you almost tripped while walking on the aisle awhile ago, are you sure you're fine?" Pasimpleng tanong sa akin ng pinsan ko habang kinukuhaan kami ng picture. I can see on my peripheral vision that Rio is just beside Kuya Valerio's parents. Kaya naman tutok na tutok ang mata ko sa camera. "I'm fine, naapakan ko lang kanina ang gown ko kaya muntik na akong matumba. Don't worry about me, Ate. It's your day, let's just enjoy the party later," pabulong ko namang sagot. "Alright, just remember, hindi ka pwede sa kahit anong klase ng alak, drink water or juice will do,"
"What are you doing here?" Hinawakan ko ang coat niyang nilagay sa balikat ko at sinubukan itong tanggalin pero pinigilan niya ako. He hold my hand to stop me so I look at him sharply. "I'm not cold–" "You're shivering, kanina pa kita pinagmamasdan. You can't lie to me, wife." "Can you please stop calling me wife? Why don't you go back inside and dance with your girlfriend all night?" Asik ko sakanya. Halata ang pagka-inis sa boses ko. I saw him smirked and fixed his coat on my shoulder. "You're jealous, right?" I moved away from him and rolled my eyes. "In your dreams, Mr. Folkvangr." "It should be– my husband. Stop the formality," natatawa niyang sambit. Naiirita ako sa pagtawa tawa niya. Mukha ba akong clown dito at kung makatawa e akala mo nagbibiro ako? Maglalakad na sana ako paalis nang hawakan niya ako sa braso para pigilan. "Hey, not so fast! Stay here," wika niya. I released a deep sigh before facing him. "What do you want, Rio? Nandito ako para magpahangin,
RIO YVL'S POV Lagapak ng sampal ni Loviere ang naging sagot niya sa ginawa ko matapos niyang makita ang umiiyak na imahe ni Lawliet na mabilis na umalis nang makita ang ginagawa namin. "What the hell, Yvl! Are you crazy?" I know how mad she is right now because she called me using my second name. Tumalikod lang ako sakanya at nagsalin ng alak sa baso ko na nakapatong sa office table ko. Kanina pa ako umiinom dito bago ko naisip na gawin ang eksenang ito. "Answer me! Damn it! Your wife saw us, Yvl! Wala ka bang gagawin?" She's shouting at me now. Inisang lagok ko muna ang alak sa baso ko at tumingin sa glass wall ng opisina ko. I saw her... I saw my wife running, she's talking to someone on her phone while crying. Mabilis din itong nagmaneho paalis ng kumpanya ko. Doon ko lang nilingon si Loviere at pagod na tinignan. "It's for the better, go home now–" "Fuck you, Yvl! You're using me for what? I'm here to bid my goodbye but you just put me into a scene that broke your wife's
Life for me was so messed up. Sometimes, the thought of killing myself was crossing my mind. I've been miserable for these past few years. I have everything I want now, except for one. It took me long to kill those bastards because I changed my plan. They're wicked, they're good at hiding too. And I can't risk targeting them now without a concrete plan, may humaharang sa mga plano ko noon pa at alam kong bigatin din ang pumo-protekta sakanila. So instead of rushing myself to kill them, I made them chill for 4 fucking years. So if I ever attack them anytime now, they will not have the chance to escape. I'm preparing for my element of surprise. Now I'm leading two organizations, and opportunities are knocking on my door. Pero kahit anong pagbabago ang nangyayari sa akin ngayon, there's still one thing that I've been longing for, I cannot erase her on my mind and I don't have the plan to. Sa malayo ko lang siya tinatanaw. She's living in Paris, and I'm happy to see her with a smile
Nagising ako sa mga halik na dumadapo sa buong mukha ko. Nagmulat ako ng mata at natagpuan si Rio na pinapaulanan ako ng halik habang nakapatong sa akin ang kaniyang matipunong katawan. Napa-angil ako nang halikan niya ako sa labi at kinagat-kagat ang ibabang labi ko. "Rio, I'm still sleepy," asik ko sakanya at pumikit. "Then sleep, wife. Hindi naman kita pinipigilan–" "But you're kissing me, dumbass. Syempre magigising talaga ako," sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. He chuckled, "Ang ganda mo kahit nakasimangot," puri niya sa akin na ikinapula ng aking mga pisngi. "Oh, stop it, Rio. You're making me blush early in the morning." Tinakpan ko ang mukha ko ng dalawang kamay dahil wagas siya kung makatitig. Tumawa lang ulit siya at tinanggal ang kamay ko sa mukha. Ang tawa niya ay naging banayad hanggang sa seryoso na siyang nakatingin sa akin ngayon. I can see lust and hunger on his eyes. Bumaba ang tingin niya sa nakaawang kong labi. He didn't gave me a chance to talk and just claime
"Do we have the deal or not?" Kanina pa ako nangangating bunutin ang baril ko sa tagiliran at iputok ito sa ulo ng kaharap ko. I've been so patient ever since we got here. Kahit pa ramdam kong kumukulo na ang dugo ko sa loob. But I can't ruin my plan, I need to know if we have the deal first before I kill him. Nakapwesto na rin ang iba kong tauhan at hinihintay nalang ang signal ko bago sila gumalaw. "Of course, Folkvangr. Walang makakatanggi sa offer mo, nagtataka lang ako kung bakit mukhang nagbago ata ang pananaw mo sa amin?" Nakangiti pa ito at tila tuwang tuwa sa presensya ko sa harap niya. I smirked, "Because is business is business. I don't take it too personal, we both want the same, and that is power and money. Now that I'm giving it to you, we can be partners too," I lied just to get his trust. Kapag pumirma siya sa kontrata, mamatay man siya ay magiging valid pa rin iyon at matutupad ang deal namin, I already have my lawyer and my associates to do the work for me. Makuk
