Dieseseite
“Let’s fix this mess if you two,” her father suddenly spoke after a long silence.
Lilith can feel the heavy atmosphere surrounding the three of them. She sat down beside Nikolaus while facing her father straight to the eye. She can see the seriousness in her father’s eyes while she just made her expression cold and emotionless as usual.
“Nikolaus, hijo, you can settle these two, right?” Her father asked as he look at Nikolaus who nodded in instant, making her frown and talk.
“No, Dad, we won’t settle this down. I want to divorce him as soon as possible,” she said with a finality in her cold voice.
Matapang niyang sinalubong ang mata ng kanyang ama. She remained her expression cold as she stares at her father’s irritated look. Wala siyang pakialam kung magalit o ma-dis
DieseotsoLILITH starts her day by being with Faith, bonding and talking with her when the truth is she doesn't really have to be that close to her. Lilith can feel it, she's opening her door for Faith to enter her life. Her mission was supposed to end when she already captured her brother but something just happened that made her livid. Her brother just escaped when she was with Nikolaus, yesterday night.She have to manipulate Faith even for the last time, she promised herself to stop once she get the information she needed. She knew how horrible she was, faking her smile and behavior in front of Faith. She really is the worst person in the world, but she is not happy knowing that she's doing horribly to Faith. Is she changing?She was not like that before. She doesn't feel anything before even if she order her men to kill someone, even if she controls and manipulates someone, she felt nothing because she
DiesenuebeLILITH suddenly feels uncomfortable while staring at Nikolaus. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, especially her heart that is racing like a horse inside her chest. Looking at Nikolaus' eyes, she can see the scary person looking intently at her. It’s like he’s reading and observing every emotion on her face.She tried to smile and changes the topic. “W-Why are you here? Don't you have work?" She looked away, trying to hide the uneasiness in her face.While Nikolaus on the other hand frowns as he noticed that Lilith is avoiding his gaze."Don't change the topic, wife." May diin sa boses na anito habang matiim na tinititigan ang asawa. "I saw you, talking to the neighborhood. And you enter my house with an emotionless face, why is it you look calm and relaxed when you came in? Is it be
Veinte"LET ME EXPLAIN, NIKOLAUS." That's the first sentence that came out into Lilith's mouth when she heard Vladimir's voice of confession.Nilapitan niya si Nikolaus bago tinapunan ng nakamamatay na tingin si Vladimir. How dare he tell that to Nikolaus. He doesn't need to know it, it's all in the past. And why is she feeling anxious? Is it because Nikolaus might finally let go of her after knowing it? But why does she feel like holding on? Holding on to Nikolaus's feelings for her and knowing the feeling inside her, building up. Gusto niyang malaman kung anong klase ang nararamdaman niya para dito, if it is just a simple attraction or admiration, or it is more than that.Marahan niyang hinawakan ang braso ni Nikolaus nang nanatili lang itong nakatingin kay Vladimir. It's like he's absorbing the words that came into Vladimir's mouth and spacing out."Nikol
VeinteunoLILITH was spacing out as she drives her way to her basement. Her mind keeps on remembering what happened in Salvador's mansion. When she saw the shock in Faith's face, she knows that Faith heard their conversation with her father. All she can do is to give her a simple smile and uttered the word 'thank you', before walking away.Guilt coated her heart as she felt the air around suffocating her that she hardly can't breathe properly. Blaming herself won't do anything or change anything, she did it for her brother, to be with him again, to feel what it is to have a family. But in exchange, she hurt someone, someone that's been close to her, someone who made her feel how a love of the siblings is. Faith shows her the real definition of happiness and the love of a sister.Habang nagmamaneho siya papunta sa basement niya ay nakaramdam siya na parang may sumusunod sa kaniya. Using the rear mirror, she glan
VeintedosLILITH WOKE UP when she heard some noises from somewhere near her. She immediately sit up and grunt at the same time when an excruciating pain strike her flank. Mariin niyang ipinikit ang mga mata habang hinihintay na humupa ang sakit sa kanyang tagiliran.She slowly stood up when she felt that the pain on her side lessened. Nagsimula siyang maglakad at sinundan ang ingay na nagmumula sa kung saan. Then, her feet brought her to the living room, where her father and Nikolaus are… arguing!“—No sir! I won’t let you access my private underground, it’s mine at wala sa usapan natin ang manghimasok ka sa pribado kong pag-aari!” Galit na asik ni Nikolaus sa ama niya kaya kaagad niya iton
Veinte-tresLILITH WOKE up late for Nikolaus commanded her to rest longer and she did. Halos sa dalawang araw na nagpapagaling siya ay wala siyang ibang ginawa kundi ang matulog at kumain. Nikolaus didn’t allow her to walk and feed herself. Ito na mismo ang nagpapakain sa kanya and she finds it sweet but weird.It’s weird to have a man feeding you while you can still use your both hands. Hindi naman siya imbaldado para alagaan ng masyado. In those two days, her father keep on calling her through phone but she always ignore or decline it. She’s still not in the mood to talk or have a simple conversation with her father, she’s still mad at him. For taking advantage on Nikolaus.Lilith shook her head to discard those thoughts in her mind and stretched her body. Umupo siya mula sa pagkakahiga at ipinalibot ang paningin sa kabuuan ng silid ni Nikolaus. Yes, she occupies Nikolaus' master bedroom as Ni
Veinte-quatroLILITH was nervous as hell for her father won’t message her like that if it is not urgent or emergency. Nagmamadaling pinuntahan niya ang address na ibinigay ng kanyang ama. Using her Ducati, she quickly arrived her destination and immediately parked it on the side before entering the building. But before she could enter, there are ten men surrounding the area, wearing suites and stood up formally.“Sino kayo?” She asked when she reached the entrance where one man is like guarding the main entrance.The man looked at her and spoke, “Miss Lilith Cortez?” May paninigurado sa boses nito habang tuwid na tuwid na nakatayo sa harapan niya.The man stood six footer, and she can say that he is not a Filipino. Maybe he is one of her father’s men. What could be the possible reason why her father’s men are here? She wonders.
Veinte-cinco“GUESS WHAT, AUG? I’m married!” Masayang anunsyo ni Nikolaus sa kaibigan niyang si Augustus na may halong pagmamayabang.Augustus is the owner of the Florin Enterprise or can also be called as an Empire. Hindi na sila masyadong nagkikita o nagkakausap dahil abala ito sa mga anak nito habang siya naman ay abala lang sa negosyo. Not until Lilith came.Biglang sumilay ang masuyong ngiti sa labi ni Nikolaus nang maalala ang sinabi nito sa kanya. He is important to her. And that’s close to ‘I love you'. Mataas ang kumpyansa niya na may nararamdaman ang dalaga para sa kanya, hindi nga lang ganoon ka lalim kagaya ng sa kanya.“Really?” Tanging usal nito na para bang hindi makapaniwala sa sinabi niya.Nikolaus sighed as he rolled his eyes. Pasalampak siyang umupo sa sofa at nagsimulang magkuwento.“Actually, it’s
Veinte-nuebeCLEOPATRA can feel someone’s stare at her from somewhere, that’s why she turned her head to see who the hell is staring her. As she turn her head, she saw a man looking at her intently like memorizing every inch and angles on her face, with a longing and another emotion she can’t name. And the way that unknown man look at her, it somehow pisses her off. Since she got announced by the emcee, that man keeps on staring at her up until now. With her eyebrows furrowed, she look away and asked her Lolo. “Who’s that man over there, Lolo?” She can’t hide the irritation in her voice.Her Lolo stopped talking to his friends and signed them to kindly give them space, and thankfully they did.Her Lolo took a glace at Nikolaus who’s still staring in their direction before giving his attention back to her. “Ah, that man is Nikolaus Monroe Florida. Does that name ring a bell to you?” With her forehead knotted, she shook her head. “No, why? Is he somehow… part of my life before?” She
Veinte-otso THE PRIVATE plane that they are riding landed safely on Vnukovo International Airport located in Moscow. His personal pilot announced that they landed the aiport safely and peacefully. Dinig niya ang sunod-sunod na pagrereklamo ni Frazier mula sa kanyang likuran. Ito kasi ang pinagbuhat niya sa maleta at bag niya, pambayad sa pagpapasakay niya sa pribado niyang eroplano. “F*ck this! Hey, Nikolaus. Tulungan mo ako dito. You do realize that I only have two arms, yeah?” There’s an irritation on his voice but he just give him a hush sign before passing him. “Ugh! I hate being with a crazy, asshole, broken man. Kapag ako napuno na, mapapatay talaga kita, Nikolaus!” At dahil panay ang reklamo nito at naririndi na siya sa boses nito, pasimple niyang isinuot ang earphone niya sa tainga at nakinig sa malamyos at mapayapang musika. THEY CHECKED in Four Seasons Hotel Moscow for it is already late and decided to roam and tour the place tomorrow morning. Halos labing-apat na oras
Veinte-seiteAfter 3 years…“THIS IS OUR LAST SESSION for your therapy and I am hoping that this will really be the last, Mr. Florida.” His psychological doctor said while writing something on the white sheet.Ms. Martinez has been his psychiatrist for three consecutive years and thankfully, she didn't give up on him. Kahit nakikita na nitong napakalalim ng pinagdaraanan niya, na wala ng ibang paraan para gumaling pa siya sa depresyon. The wound is too deep to heal that even time can’t heal. One year of crying and mourning for his beloved, he felt numb. Nagising nalang siya isang araw na namanhid na ang puso niya. Wala ng luhang lumalabas sa mga mata niya. He felt empty. No pain, just nothing.“With all your respect, Mr. Florida, I don't want to see you here anymore.” Ms. Martinez raises her head and look at him. “Three years, Monroe, three continuous years. How can you move on if you're still believing that Lilith is alive—”“Stop... mentioning her name,” he said almost in whisper. E
Veinte-sies“HOW’S THE INVESTIGATION?” Nikolaus asked his people when he enters his underground.There are five men who he assigned to do the investigation about what happened to his wife, Lilith.Pabalik-balik lang siya sa mansyon at underground niya sa loob ng isang linggo. It’s like his daily routine for one week.He mourned for Lilith's death in one hellish week, crying his heart out, drinking all the liquor he has in his house. Halos wala ng laman ang tiyan niya kundi alak at alak lang. Wala siyang ganang kumain or even to live his life again.Pakiramdam ni
