I parked my car sa labas ng isang cafe. I went out of the car wrapped with Louis Vuitton from head to toe. Pumasok akonsa cafe and snatched everyone’s attention. I went to the table at the corner and the waitress immediately approached me.

“Good morning, ma’am. What do you want me to get for you?” she asked holding a pen and a little notebook.

Binaba ko ang suot na Louis Vuitton sunglasses hanggang sa tungki ng ilong at iningatan siya ng kilay.

“I’m a regular here. You should know what to get.” Tinanggal ko ang sunglasses at sinukbit ito sa neckline ng suot kong mula sa parehong brand din. “Besides alas syete na and the time I get here my order should be ready, waiting for me.”

“Sorry po, ma’am. Hindi ko po alam. Kakasimula ko lang po kahapon,” paliwanag niya at nauutal pa.

My blood boiled hearing her talk back. Sisigawan ko na sana siya.

“Calm down, Ella.” I convinced myself and get rid of my temper by breathing in and out. “You’re a change person remember?” I reminded myself.

    I went back to home angry. All of my credit cards were. I couldn’t use anay of them.“Mom?” Hinanap ko siya pagkadating ng bahay. “Mom!” pagdadabog ko sa sala.“What?” Lumabas siya sa kusina hawak-hawak ang baso ng alak.“Did you cut my credit cards off?” naiinis kong tanong.She just shrugged bago dalhin ang baso sa bibig niya. I notice the left corner of her lips raised. Ngumisi siya.“Mom, I worked hard for that money!” I complained.“No you didn’t. I gave them to you. I provided them. Everything you have is mine.” She was leaning against the door frame looking at the wine she was rotating by the glass on her hand.Our argument was like a deja vu. I know I heard it before. I froze when a memory flashed in my mind. Ganitong-ganito ang pagtatalo nila noon ni Anastasia before she disowned her. If she was able to do that to Anastasia who was in her eyes better than me then she could also do it to me.I watched her staring at the wine she kept on rotating with an evil smile on her lips.

    I stepped inside the bar. Loud music welcomed my ears. Random colored lights blinded my eyes. Mixed aromas bursted in the air, cigarettes, perfumes, and drinks.I roamed my eyes around and I caught most of the boys’ attention in the room. Some even stopped dancing just to check me out. I flipped my hair and ramped my way in revealing my smooth slender leg through the slit of my red silky dress that kisses my skin.“You wanna dance?” A guys approached me but I just passed him by.I want to dance. I am going to dance with the drinks tonights. I went straight towards the bar counter and ordered my usual drink.“One long island iced tea please.” I gave the bartender a smile.“Just a sec, ma’am. I’ll just wrap this up,” sagot nito habang tinatapos ang isang order na inumin.Narinig kong Humagikgik ang tatlong babaeng katabi ko sa counter. Sumulyap sila sa direksyon saka tumingin sa isa’t

    I could hardly breathe. Kinakabahan ako. I mustered my courage at hinarap ito. Pinaliit ko ang mga matang nanlalabo at tinitigan itong maigi. I’m not quite sure if it’s still the tattooed guy. Bumaba ang tingin ko sa braso nitong may tattoo pero tinatakoan ito ng manggas ng suot na sweater. Kumalma ako nang malamang naka-sweater ito at hindi long-sleeved polo. It’s not him.“Ella, okay ka lang?”Medyo iba rin ang boses nito. It’s soft and not creepy at all. “I’m fine,” sinisinok kong tugon sabay hampas nang pabiro.I turned around and straightened my back. I couldn’t feel my feet and my vision is spinning. I shrugged at nagsimulang maglakad.“Lasing ka ba?” Mabilis ako nitong inalalayan.“Me? Drunk?” Tumawa ako at umiling. “No way!” I swiped my hand in the air making him let go of me.Humakbang ako paharap pero nawalan ako nang balanse. Before my face would hit the ground flat someone caught me by the waist.“Zander...” bulong ko.“Sabi na lasing ka ehh. Ihahatid na kita.” Inalalayan

    “Natuttuwa ka talagang pinag-aalala ako noh?” Padabog siyang tumayo at akmang aalis.“Edi sorry,” pabalang kong sagot.“Edi sorry? For goodness’ sake, Ella! Para akong baliw sa kakahanap sa ‘yo. Sinuyod ko ang buong CeO para hanapin ka. Para akong tanga kakaisip kong ano’ng ginawa kong mali. We were okay two weeks ago tapos bigla kang nawala ng isang lingo?” pagwawala niya. “Ano bang ginawa ko?”“You’re actually asking? Seryoso?” hindi makapaniwalang tugon ko at padabog na ibinaba ang kubyertos.“Nag-alala pa ako eh nag-eenjoy ka lang naman pala sa bar at nakikipagsayaw na parang pokpok!” Pumutok ang mga ugat sa leeg niya.Napatitig ako sa kaniya. Sandaling katahimikan ang namagitan sa ‘min. Pinalitan ng pagsisisi ang galit sa mukha niya nang ma-realize ang sinabi. I silently brought myself on my feet and slapped him. I turned around without saying a word.“I’m sorry.” He grabbed my waist from behind and hugged me tight. “I didn’t mean what I said. Galit lang ako,” malambing niyang sa

Naalimpungatan yata.“P-Pinisil ni Dad ang kamay ko.” Humigpit ang hawak ko sa kamay ni Dad.“I’ll call the doctor.” Lumabas siya ng silid.Pinatong ko ang isa pang kamay sa likuran ng palad ni Dad.

    “Ipagbabalat kita, Dad.” Tumayo ako tinungo ang basket ng prutas sa kalapit na mesa.Kumuha ako ng dalawang mansanas at dinala ito sa kusina. “Tasya, ibalik mo na ako sa dati kong kuwarto. I couldn’t afford this anymore,” reklamo ni Dad.Sumilip ako sa pinto ng kusina. “Who said you would be paying?”Nginitian ko siya bago bumalik sa pagbabalat ng mansanas. I sliced the apples into bites, put them in a plate and placed it on a mini-table. I got a glass of water and put it next to the plate of apples. I went out of the kitchen holding the mini-table smiling.“Your snack is ready.” I went nigh him and placed the mini-table in front of him.“Ayokong magkautang na loob kay Xeonne,” muling reklamo niya. Ngayon ay nakaupo na siya’t nakasandal sa headboard ng hospital bed niya.Napahawak ako sa dibdib at nagkunwaring nasasaktan. “Grabe ka naman sa ‘kin, Dad.

    “Go join Xeonne, Anastasia,” sabi ni Dad habang yakap-yakap ako.“Pero, Dad, wala kang kasama rito.” Hinigpitan ko lalo ang yakap.“Dad, what if you stay in the mansion? We have a family doctor and nurses to attend your needs,” Xeonne suggested.I snapped my head in his direction and gave him a death glare. His hair was neatly combed to the side and he was wearing a fine tuxedo.“Monteverde’s right, Tito. Maskomportable ko ron,” suporta ni Zander na nakaani rin ng masakit na tingin mula sa ‘kin.“Ang tagal na no’ng huling fashion show ng AKV dito sa CoE, Sissy.

    He placed his hand behind my back as he leaned closer and deepened the kiss. His breathe smelt like mint while his lips tasted sweet. He wrapped his other hand around my waist pulling me nearer as we pour our love to each other with our lips. He groaned and effortlessly lifted me and made me sit on his lap. I pulled myself away and looked at him. His annoyed face greeted me.“Why so grumpy all of a sudden?” My brows creased.“I just don’t feel you close enough.” His voice was hoarse and sexy. It decanted fuel to the fire in me.With eyes on his, I moved closer and pressed my body against him. I could feel his toned chest. I couldn’t quit staring at his green eyes. He was wearing his natural eyes ever since his dad made a scene and hurt Xenon. He was wearing them with no hint of fear.I raised my chin and whispered, “am I close enough now?”He shook his head. He took my face on his hand and brought his lips to mine. His lips moved as light as feather. I brought my hands around his nec

Tumayo siya para salubungin ang ate niya.“Ate Cee!” Masaya niyang inunat ang dalawang kamay sa direksyon nito.Nilampasan ni Ella si Drizelle at dumiretso sa ‘kin.“Ella, ano ang ginagawa mo rito?” nangangambang tanong ko.“Sinundan ko si Mom at Dad sa bahay ng mga Monteverde. Nagkakagulo na ro’n. Tapos may natanggap akong mensahe kung nasaan ka.” Tinulungan ako nitong tumayo.“Kailangan nating tumakas. Dala mo ba ang kotse mo?” mahinang tanong ko.“Hindi, nag-taxi lang ako kasi hindi ko kabisado ang daan. Ayaw ding pumasok ng taxi kaya naglakad pa ako ng ilang metro,” paliwanag nito.“Paano na ‘to?”“Huwag kang mag-aalala kakausapin ko siya.” Akmang lalapitan na nito si Drizelle na nakatayo at nakatalikod sa ‘min.Hinawakan ko ang braso nito at pinigilan.

    Umiling ako. “H-Hindi ko piniling palitan ka, Drizelle. Bata lang ako noon. Wala akong kamuwang-muwang. It didn’t even cross my mind to replace anyone, especially not you.”“Shut up! Shut up!” Tinakpan niya magkabilang tenga. “Huwag kang bait-baitan! Hindi mo ako maloloko!” “Lahat ng sinabi ko sa ‘yo totoo. Lahat nang pinakita ko, pinaramdam ko.” Uminit ang mga mata ko. Bumalik sa isip ko ang mga pinagsamahan namin noong kolehiyo. Siya lagi ang kasama ko pag-break time, sa lunch at sa uwian kahit na magkaklase kami ni Ella. Ella was surrounded by girls our age while I felt like an outcast but everything changed when I met Drizelle. She made feel like I belong, like I’m not alone. She even defended me from Ella.“I-Ikaw lang ang tinuring kong kaibigan, Drizelle. Ikaw lang ang naging kakampi ko. Parang kapatid na nga kita-”“It’s because of my hardwork. I only befriended you to know you, to know your weaknesses. Dahil do’n I was able to make everyone envy you, hate you. Especially Ell

    Nakahinga ako nang maluwag nang ginawi niya ang ulo sa direksyon ng silid na nakasara ang pinto.“I’m coming, Anastasia…” Pinihit niya ang doorknob.Napatakip ako ng bibig nang bigla niyang hampasin ang pinto nang mapagtantong naka-lock ito. Marahas at paulit-ulit niyang pinihit doorknob. Napaungol siya sa inis at sapilitang binuksan ang pinto gamit ang mga sipa.“Lalo akong nasasabik sa pgapapahirap mo, Anastasia,” aniya pagkatapos matagumpay na nabuksan ang pinto. “I’m coming, Anastasia...”Sumilip ulit ako at nakitang hinalughog niya ang kuwarto. Hindi niya pinalampas loon ng aparador at ilalim ng kama hanggang sa isang lugar na lang ang natura. Ang banyo.“Nandito na ako, Anastasia.”Napatayo ako nang tuwid nang bigla niyang pagsaksakin ang pinto ng banyo habang tumatawa na parang banyo.“Nanginginig kana ba sa takot? Ha? Anastasia?” Patuloy siya sa pagsaksak ng pinto.Dahan-dahan akong lumabas ng kuwarto habang naaaliw pa sa kahibingan niya si Chase. Sinenyasan ko si Drizelle na

    Hininto ko ang sasakyan sa harap ng malaking gate na gawa sa metal at binalot ng baging. Hinayaan kong bukas ang ilaw ng kotse na nakatutok sa mansyon bago lumabas. Tinulak ko ito pabukas. Nangangalit ang mga ngipin ko dahil sa langitngit na tunog nito.Binalik ako sa sasakyan at nagmaneho patungo sa malaking abandonadong mansyon. Wala akong makita sa paligid maliban sa nagtataasang ligaw na mga halaman patunay sa matagal na panahon na napabayaan.I stopped the car at the towering mansion infront of me. It is twice bigger than the Monteverde’s. I went out with the duffle bag in my hand. I pushed the giant dusty door open and was welcomed by an empty huge living room. Napapikit ako nang biglang bumukas ang ilaw. Napamulat ako dahil sa walang tigil na ungos. Sa gitna ng silid ay si Drizelle na nakaupo at nakagapos sa silyang gawa sa sa makapal na tabla. Wala siyang panyapak at may busal ang bibig . Namumula ang pisnge at magulo ang buhok. Nagpupumiglas siya at may nais sabihin sa ‘kin.

Video iyon ni Drizelle na nakagapos at pinagsasampal ng lalaking naka maskara at may tattoong ahas na nakapulupot sa rosas sa braso. Nag-ring naman agad ang cellphone na hawak ko at bumungad sa screean ang pangalan ni Drizelle. Sinagot ko ang tawag.“Forward the video I just sent to Tremaine Sullivan,” utos niya.Nagsalubong ang mga kilay ko sa narinig. Ano ang gusto niyang mangyari? Ano ang gusto niyang palabasin?“Now!”Napamura ako sa likod ng isipan sa biglaan niyang pagsigaw kasabay niyon ang pag-iwas ko ng cellphone sa tenga. Agad kong pinasa ang video kay Tremaine nang walang pag-alinlangan. Wala na akong pakealam kung ano ang isipin nito dahil una pa lang ay maspinili na nitong

    “Is this a new trick? You can’t use her mother to get her so you’re making up stories?” I sneered.“I’m telling the truth. Why don’t you ask your parents? They knew my son and daughter-in-law very well.” He diverted his eyes to mom and dad who were standing behind me.“What is he talking about?” My brows furrowed at them.“H-Hindi ko alam,” pagtatanggi ni Dad. Hindi ito makatingin nang diretso sa mga mata ko.Alam kong nagsisinungaling ito. Napayukom ako ng palad. Sasayangin lang ba niya ang pangalawang pagkakataong ibinigay ko sa kaniya?Tumawa si Don Hildegarde. Umigting ang panga ko. Pinaglalaruan niya ba ako?“Alam kong itatanggi mo kaya naman nagbaon na ako ng ebidensiya.” Binaling niya ang tingin kay Lucero.Lumapit sa ‘kin si Lucero at b

My heart pounded fast against my chest. “Where are you, Wife?”Hindi niya sinagot ang tanong ko at nagsalita. “Tumawag ako para sabihing huwag kang maalala-”“Paanong hindi ako mag-aalala when you’re walking towards a trap? The kidnapping is a bait, Anastasia.” Tumaas ang boses ko.“I know-”“You know? What do you mean you know?” Napahilot ako sa sintido.“I just want some answers, Xeonne,” mahinang sagot niya.“I have almost all the answers to your questions, Anastasia. I’m telling you everything just come back here please.” I begged.“Alam kong patuloy ang pag-iimbestiga mo, Xeonne, pero gusto kong malamaan kung bakit niya ‘to ginagawa. Gusto kong malaman kung bakit gano’n na lamang ang galit niya sa ‘kin. Gusto kong manggagaling mismo sa bibig niya ang lahat-lahat,” kontra niya.Bumuntong-hininga ako. “

    Bumusina ako para kunin ang atensyon ni Anastasia pero nagmamadali siyang pumasok sa taxi habang may kausap sa cellphone. Tinapakan ko ang gas at binilisan ang pagmamaneho para hindi mawala sa paningin ang taxi. Kinabisa ko ang plate number nito.Napasulyap ako sa monitor ng sasakyan nang makitang tumatawag si Lucero. Nagsalubong ang mga kilay ko. Does he know Victoria?Mabilis kong sinagot ang tawag at binalik ang tingin sa harap.“I located Faker,” bungad niya.“And?” tanong ko nang hindi inaalis ang tingin sa taxi.“Pagmamay-ari ni Ella ang sapatos na nasa crime scene,” sagot niya.“Tell me there’s more to it, Lucero. Hindi pwedeng may kinalaman si Ella sa nangyari four years ago.” Humigpit ang hawak ko sa manibela. “Ikadudurog ito ni Anastasia.”Sandaling natahimik si Lucero. Dinala ng katahimikan niya sa isipan ko ang mukha ni Anastasia’ng umiiyak at nasasaktan. Fuck. I hate seeing her cry. Thinking of her hurt is hurting me.“Yes, there’s more to it,” biglang salita ni Lucero.“

Two men grabbed me and the other two blocked me with their bodies.“Anastasia!” I called again but she kept going she didn’t even look back.I tried to escape but I was outnumbered. They pin me down. I heard bewildered murmurs from guests. I feel their disgusted stares of judgements. Whatever they say, whatever they think of me doesn’t matter. What I worry most was Anastasia’s thought of me. “Mama!” my son cried out.His cry was painful. I felt a pang on my already hurting chest. I clenched my fist. “Let me go!” I screamed forcing myself on my feet and pushed off one of the men.“Let him go,” my grandfather commanded.“No,” Luciano opposed.The other three loosened their grasps. Wala pa sa kalingkingan ng matanda ang awtoridad ni Luciano. He couldn’t even over power me and he really think he could surpass the old man? His audacity is making him stupid. I pulled my arms off
