Eliyah's POV"I thought you were there to inspect their plans?" Axel asked as we drove to Vega Lines.Siya ang nasa driver's seat habang ako ay nasa passenger's seat. Hindi ko siya pinansin at itinuon ko na lang ang atensyon sa labas ng bintana. After that heated moment with Rex, I left the conference room. Akala ko sa labas ng conference room naghihintay si Axel pero naabutan ko siya sa tabi ng kotse. Then we left right away.I saw from my peripheral vision that Axel smirked. "Maybe you were and got distracted by his super hot body, huh? Reason why you're quiet now," nanunuya niyang dagdag.I looked at him and rolled my eyes after. "He's hot? Where? I didn't even see it, Axel." I pursed my lips.He chuckled wearily before shaking his head. "Okay, if you say so." Nang makarating kami sa Vega Lines ay trabaho agad ang inatupag ko. I kept myself busy all throughout that day to avoid my mind from thinking about Rex... and everything he has told me. Pero hindi ko pa rin maiwasan. It seem

Eliyah's POV"Do you think we are glad seeing you here?! You fucking bitch-""Dad! Stop it!" Rex shouted to cut off his father. Hinihingal ang ama ni Rex habang hindi makapaniwalang nakatingin sa anak. Rex held my hand as he put me on his back, shielding me from his family... and his wife. But I don't think I need his help. I can stand on my own. Kaya kong ipagtanggol ang sarili ko. I can fight... and I can make sure that I'll win.Ako na mismo ang nagtanggal ng kamay ni Rex sa akin. He turned to me with his forehead creased. I smiled without humor at him before stepping forward. Rex tried holding my hand again but I refused to be held by him. I smiled at Rex's father... and at Shennun. "I didn't know your relationship would last," sambit ko na nagpagulat sa kanilang dalawa. Shennun's eyes widened and I saw how her hands trembled. Kanina ay nakahawak pa siya sa daddy ni Rex pero ngayon ay para siyang nakakita ng multo. Takot na takot at nanginginig pa. I smirked."What the fuck are
Eliyah's POV"I never thought you're a fighter," halakhak ni Rex habang ginagamot ang mga kalmot sa kamay ko. I rolled my eyes at him. "She hurt me first. Of course I'd fight back," giit ko.Ngumisi siya sa akin bago unti-unting nagseryoso. "I don't know if I can still handle being with them..." Napatitig ako sa kanya at nagtaka. Does that mean... he's still living the same roof as his family? Well, it's not that bad but... I expect him to at least be independent. But after what I've seen earlier, I've thought that he's still under his father. "How did you know about my father and Shennun's relationship anyway, hmm?" kalaunan ay tanong niya.I inhaled then I avoided his gaze. Ngayon ay naka-upo na siya sa tabi ko habang yakap-yakap ulit ako. He's smelling my scent when he asked me that. Pinapaulanan niya rin nang mumunting halik ang aking balikat na nagpapadagdag sa kiliti na nararamdaman ko. I suddenly feel weak... not in a bad way... but because of lust. I'm trying to figure out w
Eliyah's POV"Why would Rex send you a note like this? It's a threat, Eliyah..." Jayson was right. It's a threat... and I'm fucking threatened! For myself and for my son. Andito pa rin ako sa condo ni Jayson habang patuloy siya sa pagtatanong sa akin. He asked me many question that have no answers. Dahil hindi ko naman alam paano sasagutin. Rex and I had just talked yesterday and I was fucking sure it went fine! Kaya mahirap sa akin ang paniwalaang si Rex nga ang nagbigay sa akin ng note na ito. But then, his phone was there... right in my car. Hindi ko pwedeng balewalain ang ebedensiyang iyon dahil baka iyon pa ang magpahamak sa amin. This is not a joke. I'm fucking sure it was a threat... and if it's really Rex who gave me that note, I don't know what his reasons are. Pagkatapos naming mag-usap ni Jayson ay saka ako nagpunta sa Vega Lines. He told me that it would be better if I will stay at home but I needed to go at Vega Lines. Habang nagmamaneho ako ay hindi ako mapakali. Lagi
Eliyah's POVI asked Stella and Axel to keep it hidden. Nalilito man ay tumango pa rin sila. That day, I already have a feeling who is sending me notes. I thought it was Rex but the note right now says otherwise. At habang tumatagal na iniisip ko ang taong posibleng nagbibigay sa akin ng mga notes na ito, kumukulo ang dugo ko. I suddenly want to go and see him and make him out of the place where he's hiding. Pero... nagtatago ba talaga siya? Their family is powerful. They have a huge empire overseas and I am sure it's no joke. Kaya... sigurado akong hindi niya lang intensyon ang takutin ako. He wants this... and the only way I think to make him out and see me... is to lure him. Nanginginig ang kamay ko habang nagmamaneho ako papunta sa Montello Incorporated, not because I'm scared but because of how furious I am to Justine. It's Justine who are sending me those notes. Alam kong wala pa akong kahit na anong ebidensya pero siya lang ang kilala kong maaaring magbigay sa akin ng mga ganon
Eliyah's POVMabilis na lumipas ang mga araw. Rex is always texting me, asking me where I am and what I am doing. May mga bodyguards din siyang pinadala sa akin even though I already told him not to. But he didn't listen. Well, kapag kaligtasan ko na ata ang pinag-uusapan, wala siyang ibang pinapakinggan. He just wants me to be safe. I sighed deeply as I maintained a stoic face in front. Nakatingin lang ako sa harap habang nakikita ko sa gilid ng mga mata ko si Rex na paulit-ulit akong nililingon. Huminga ulit ako nang malalim. I cannot already count how many times I did sigh while we're in this meeting. Paano ba naman kasi. It seems like he's not listening! Kung panoorin niya ako ay para bang ako ang nagre-report sa harap. Nandito ako ngayon sa Montello Incorporated para sa isang meeting. There's a project that Montello Incorporated needs to close so we need this. Ang problema lang ay sa akin nakatutok si Rex! Kung makatingin siya sa akin ay para bang mawawala ako bigla kaya hindi
Eliyah's POVPagkasabi niya no'n ay saka niya ako hinila papuntang shower room ng kanyang office. I obliged to him and let him pulled me inside the shower. Nang makapasok ay agad niya akong sinandal sa pintuan at saka hinalikan. I returned his hungry kisses with more deeply kisses. Parang hindi kami nauubusan ng hangin at ang importante lang sa amin ngayon ay ang mahalikan ang isa't-isa. His kisses then went down to my neck. He's biting me there and I craned my neck even more to give him access in which he immediately responded. Mas lalo pa siyang naging agresibo sa paghalik sa leeg ko habang ako naman ay hinahaplos ang kanyang buhok.He was about to kiss my collarbone when I pushed him with full force until he's leaning the other corner of the shower. His eyes are a little bit narrowed while lips parted, still lost from the kisses that we have shared. I put my hands on his chest before I tiptoed to reach his red and wet lips. Inilabas ko ang dila ko na balak niya sanang higupin nguni
Rex's POVThey say that happiness starts within ourselves. That we don't need other people for us to be happy... because they will only make things worse... they will only hurt us... they will only take away our smiles off of our faces.But they're wrong.Standing here in front while I watch Eliyah walked down the aisle, made me realized that I need her and our son for me to be happy. Because without them... I am living my lifeless life in... a dark."I really can't believe that you're deep in love, brother." ani ng kapatid ko sa aking tabi. Hindi ko siya pinansin dahil ayaw kong maputol ang aking paningin kay Eliyah at sa anak naming naglalakad papunta sa akin. Her dad is on her side and I can see, from here, the glistening tears around his father's eyes. I remember the day I talked to his father about my plans marrying her daughter. It's hard for me to do it because I know how much he hurt Eliyah and thinking that his father tried to hurt Eliyah physically make my heart tremble in
Eliyah's POV"Lagi kang kwine-kwento ni kuya," the man whose name is Sebastian said to me. Andito kami ngayon sa isang coffee shop malapit sa prisinto kung saan kasalukuyang nakakulong si Rex. Sebastian invited me here because he wants to talk to me and I agreed. Bukod pa rito ay pakiramdam ko ay may alam siya kung bakit hinuli si Rex. Isa pa, ang ipinagtataka ko ay kung paano niya agad nalaman na nakakulong si Rex? Wala pang isang oras ang lumilipas nng hulihin siya ng mga pulis. And to think that he already knew what's up about his brother is I can't understand. Pero hindi ko na ito dapat pagtuunan pa ng pansin.What I need to know right now is the reason why Rex is arrested. Kung ano'ng kasalanan niya. And why he didn't fight? It seemed like he's accepting the verdict already. Nasa harapan ko si Sebastian habang seryoso akong tinitingnan. Walang buhay naman akong nakatingin sa kanya. Before I sat here, I first called Nadia to know if Elijah's okay. Ang sabi ni Nadia ay okay lang
Eliyah's POVKinabukasan ay mag-isa ko na lang ang nakahiga sa kama namin ni Rex. When I wandered my eyes around the room, I can't see him. I closed my eyes and smelled the scent beside me. Rex's scent is my favorite scent. Ang kanyang bango ay walang katumbas. It's addicting more than drugs.Ilang minuto pa akong nanatili sa kama bago bumangon. Dumikit sa aking balat ang amoy ni Rex. Napangiti ako nang maalala ang mga ginawa namin kagabi. I looked at the ring on my ring finger and my cheeks burned because of it. The butterflies in my stomach are celebrating for it.I sighed deeply to calm my nerves from rejoicing. I then went to the shower room to bathe myself. Pagkatapos ay naghanda na ako para makababa na rin. I just wore my pink spaghetti strap and white short shorts. Habang pababa ako sa hagdan ay naririnig ko na ang ingay ni Elijah at Rex sa kusina. Nang makarating sa kusina ay tama nga ang naisip ko. Nandoon sila at parehong naghahanda ng breakfast.I chuckled as I watched the
Eliyah's POVHindi na rin kami nagtagal at agad pumasok sa loob. I saw our maids trying to prepare snacks and foods for us immediately. Siguro ay iniisip nila na dapat ay nakapaghanda na sila kanina pa. Even though it's my fault because I forgot to tell them that we have visitors today."Sorry talaga, Eliyah. Hindi naman alam na may tao na pala sa labas kanina." Patuloy sa paghingi ng tawad si Nadia habang tinutulungan ko siyang mag-ayos ng mga tinapay. I smiled at her and caressed her hand to assure her that it's all fine."It's fine, Nadia. Kasalanan ko 'to dahil nakalimutan kong sabihin na bibisita pala sila rito ngayon." saad ko habang inaayos na rin ang juice. Nang matapos ko ay tiningnan ko ulit si Nadia. "Thank you for staying, Nadia. I'll just give them these to them,"Tumango siya sa akin at nag ngitian pa kami bago ako umalis sa kusina. I saw Rex watching Eliyah plays. Habang sina Stella at Axel naman ay parang naiilang pa. Lagi silang tumitingin kay Rex at paminsan-minsan
Eliyah's POVI can feel Rex's arms around me as I sleep. Pagkatapos nang nangyari sa amin kagabi ay mabilis akong nakatulog dahil na rin sa pagod. Pero hindi ako nagsisisi. It was such a wonderful moment for the both of us. I opened my eyes and I saw myself lying on his chest. I can feel his heart breathing while his arms are enveloped around me, keeping me so safe, keeping me so warm, and protected. I looked at the clock and saw that it's alredy dawn. Napangiti ako habang inaalala ang lahat ng nangyari kagabi. Mas lalo kung siniksik ang aking sarili sa kanyang katawan. And for the second time, I fell asleep again.I could really say that this is one of the most peaceful and warmthful sleep I have ever had. I don't know if it's because I'm with Rex or what, but I like it so much."Good morning, baby," Rex's voice lingered at my ear, reason why I got awaken suddenly. Gano'n pa rin ang init na pinaparamdam sa akin ni Rex. I can't feel the coldness of air condition because of how warmt
Eliyah's POVRamdam ko ang saya ni Elijah habang kumakain kami ng aming dinner. His smiles were brighter now than before. I smiled genuinely to myself. Because finally, my son is receiving every happiness in the world and I know that he deserves it. He deserves it so so much.Pagkatapos naming magyakapan kanina ay saka ako naghanda ng aming dinner. I informed Nadia that I will be the one who will cook for our dinner. Napangisi ako nang maalala ang ngisi niya sa akin nang sabihin ko iyon. She never asked me of anything anymore. She just nodded her head then winked at me before she left. But I know what was running in her mind."Mom, when we will be going back to States?" inosenteng tanong ni Elijah.Napaangat ako nang tingin sa kanya dahil sa biglaan niyang pagtanong niyon. Slowly, I turned my head at Rex whose eyes are now serious and black. Naka-yuko siya at umaaktong hindi narinig ang sinabi ng anak. His jaw is a little bit clenched and I know how hard he was trying to restrain himse
Eliyah's POVHindi ko alam kung ano ang dapat kong sabihin sa kanya. There's a part of me where I feel scared. Parang kahapon lang ay galit pa siya sa akin... pero ngayon, he's so sweet as honey.Napalunok ako nang dumausdos ang kanyang kamay sa bewang ko. His hot breath tickled on my cheeks. One kiss from him and I immediately pushed him away. Nang lumingon ako sa kanya, batid ko ang pagtataka sa mga mata niya."S-Susundan ko lang si Elijah," palusot ko bago mabilis na umalis sa tabi niya. Elijah is with Nadia. They are on the living room with the other maids. Ngayon ko lang natanto na mag-isa lang si Rex dito, hmm? It's easy for him to bring women here. That thought alone made me irritated at him even more. Maybe for the past years, marami na siyang nakamang babae rito, huh? And maybe in his office too! Fuck! Eliyah! Discipline please? Eh ano naman kung nakipag-sex siya sa ibang babae rito sa condo niya or even on his office? Eh hindi naman kami noon? So okay lang?Pero hindi pa
Eliyah's POVParang nawala ang bigat sa dibdib ko pagkapasok ko sa Hospital room ko. I saw Elijah sitting on my bed while Nadia is beside him, reading him a book. Agad akong lumapit sa kanila. They both looked at me and I saw how my son's eyes brigthened up because of me. Napangiti ako dahil doon."Let's rest now, baby?" malambing kong ani.He immediately and happily nodded his head at me. "Please, mom?" he pleaded while pouting.Napatawa ako dahil doon. I looked at Nadia who's also smiling while watching us. When our eyes met, she winked at me and smiled. Tumayo siya at lumapit sa akin."Uuwi muna ako. Babalik ako para sa dinner niyo mamaya,"Nginitian ko siya bago niyakap. "Thank you so much for always staying on my side, Nadia. I owe you a lot." sinsero kong saad.Naluluha siyang umiling. "Wala 'yon, Eliyah. Para na rin kitang kapatid."Nagyakapan pa kaming muli bago siya tuluyang umalis. "Do you want mommy to read you the book?" malambing kong tanong kay Elijah.He nodded his hea
Eliyah's POV"C-Can I hug you son?" Nakakabinging katahimikan ang bumalot sa loob ng hospital room ni Rex. Nangilid ang panibagong luha sa gilid ng aking mga mata. Habang pinapanood si Elijah, pakiramdam ko ay pinapanood ko ang batang si Rex kahit na wala akong ideya sa kung sino siya noon. Watching Elijah right now made me realized the mistakes I have done in the past.Pero kung tatangunin ako at mabibigyan muli ng pagkakataong baguhin ang lahat sa nakaraan, I will still do it. I will still hide Elijah from Rex. No matter what.Elijah's forehead creased because of what Rex said. Tumagal nang kaunti ang titig ni Elijah kay Rex at batid ko ang pagkalito niya rito. I thought Elijah will talk to Rex but he didn't! He didn't answer Rex but Elijah turned at me. His eyes softened.Niyakap akong muli ni Elijah. "Mom, let's go to your room," malambing niyang ani.Suminghap ako dahil doon. I hugged Elijah tightly. I caressed his back as I fought the urge of my tears to fall. When I looked at
