Eliyah's POV

Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit ganito ang tadhana sa akin. I was never a blacksheep of our family. I always do oblige what my father wants me to do and I respected and welcomed my stepmother and her daughter with wide open arms. But everything changed when I found out that my stepmother was my father's mistress...for such a long time.

Hindi ko kaya iyon. I was heart broken. My parents were the ones whom I look up to when it comes to true love. It seemed like they were so in love with each other...but it turned out it was just a one-sided love.

May kapatid pala ako sa ama. It's Shennun. She's elder than me...so that means...Ellie Levi, my stepmother, and my father had been having an affair for so many years now...even before my mother's death...even before I was born. My mother didn't know. She died without knowing her husband's betrayal. She died in a painful accident while her husband was having an affair with that fucking Ellie Levi.

"How could you do that to mommy, dad! You're s-so unfair! At pinakasalan mo pa talaga ang babaeng 'yan?! And you let her live here?! In our house?!" I couldn't stop myself but lash out that night.

Daddy was breathing heavily while looking at me painfully. "Calm down, Eliyah. You know nothing about what happened--"

"And my mother?! Did she know about your fucking mistress?!" Dinuro ko ang stepmother ko na nasa likod niya.

"Stop it! Your mother didn't know--"

I broke down.

Napaluhod ako dahil doon.

My mother's picture flashed in my mind. Her smiles. Her sweet laughs. And beautiful face. Lahat ng iyon ay nagpakita sa akin. At tuwing naaalala ko ang mga sinabi ni daddy...na walang alam si mommy sa lahat ng nangyari noon...ay dumadagdag sa sakit na nararamdaman ko.

Pagkatapos din ng gabing iyon ay nagsimula akong magrebelde. I don't go to School. Lagi akong nagka-cutting at umiinom. This was how I cope up with my problems.

"Lasing ka na naman?" That fucking mistress asked.

Nilagpasan ko lamang siyang parang bula dahil doon. Pero bago ko pa siya matalikuran ay agad niyang hinawakan ang kamay ko, pinapahinto sa pagtangkang pag-alis.

"We'll talk," her voice is strong and hard.

Tiningnan ko siya nang masama at binawi nang biglaan ang kamay ko. "Don't you ever command me to do something because you have no right. Akala mo dahil pinakasalan ka ay magiging parte ka na ng pamilyang ito? No, Ellie. You're just my father's fucking mistress. My mother will always be his wife. Hindi ang malanding kabit na kagaya mo."

She slapped me. Twice. At hindi doon natapos iyon. Dahil sa mga sumunod na araw ay lagi na niya akong kinukulong sa kwarto ko. I couldn't find any way to get out of my fucking room because she ensure that it was locked!

Hindi ko magawang magsumbong kay daddy dahil wala siya rito ngayon. He's overseas for a project. At wala akong magawa kung hindi ang tanggapin ang paghihirap na pinaranas sa akin ng mag-inang iyon. They would always slap me, starve me, lock me inside my room, and they sometimes made me their slaves. And I couldn't do anything but to follow what they wanted me to do.

I couldn't stand with what they were doing to me. So when my father came back, I told him everything, hoping that he'd believe me because I am his daughter...but he didn't.

"Akala mo ba hindi ko alam ang mga pinaggagagawa mo sa School niyo?! You're cutting classes, Eliyah! And now you would tell me that?! Para ano?! Because you want them to leave my house?! This is my house, Eliyah! I choose who I want to live here!"

Isa-isang tumulo ang mga patak ng luha sa aking mukha. Tama siya. This is house. And me? I don't have any right at his house. Ang akala ko paniniwalaan niya ako. Ang akala ko ako ang kakampihan niya dahil anak niya ako. He was a good father to me. He was my standard. But he broke my heart.

He let me leave his house. Hindi niya ako pinigilan. He just stood there as he watched me leaving. Habang ang kanyang asawa at isa pang anak ay nakangisi sa akin na parang sila ang nagtagumpay. Like they finally reached their dreams.

"I promise to myself. A day will come...and I will reciprocate all the painful things you have done to me. I will throw you to dirt. I will push you until you fall."

Ito ang pangako ko sa sarili ko nang gabing nilisan ko ang aming bahay. I am also now using my mother's surname. Maliban sa mga taong matagal nang nakakakilala sa akin.

"Do you want to taste me again, love?" Nakangisi kong tanong sa lalaking flavor of the night ko ngayon.

I hide my growing frustration with a smirk. Damn user! Makasarili! Aba eh pagkatapos niyang magpalabas umalis agad siya sa ibabaw ko para maglinis? Wala man lang after care? Talagang sarili niya lang?

Bumaba ang tingin niya sa pagkababae kong pinupunasan ko ngayon ng tissue. He gulped and when I looked at his manhood covered with a towel, I knew it affected him. Dahil mas lalong bumabakat ang pagkalalaki niya kahit na may takip ito at kahit nakatatapos lang namin kanina.

Kaya nang lumapit siya sa akin para sana tikman ulit ako ay agad ko siyang sinampal pagkatapos ay umalis sa hotel room na iyon. Huh! Anong akala niya magagawa niya lahat ng gusto niya? Hindi porket gwapo siya ay lahat ng babae ay luluhod sa kanya!

Nagtra-trabaho ako bilang isang waitress sa bar. Simula noong umalis ako sa bahay na iyon ay ako na mismo ang nagsusustento sa sarili ko para makapag-aral at maka-survive. Simula rin noong umalis ako ay nagbago na rin ako. I don't cut my classes anymore. And I am now taking and treating everything seriously...but love.

"Sir?" Tanong ko nang matulala ang Professor ko sa akin.

Namilog ang mata ko nang mamukhaan ko siya.

He was that man! That fucking selfish man! He was my last flavor of the night!

And with the way he looks at me, I knew he feels something to me that day.

Ano? N*******n ka agad? Napahagikgik ako sa sarili ko dahil sa naisip.

Nagpatuloy siya sa pagdi-discuss ng aming lesson. Ang lahat ay nakikinig at nakalabas ang kanya-kanyang libro maliban sa akin. Nakatitig lang ako sa kanya. Sa kanyang matipunong katawan. Sa malalaking mga braso. Small but red kissable lips. Dark almond eyes. A little bit tanned skin. Furrowed brows. Clenched jaw. And shiveled hair.

Napalunok ako dahil sa kagwapuhan niya. Professor pala siya huh? Not bad, pwede na.

"Do you remember me, my lovely Professor?" Pang-aasar ko sa kanya nang magsi-alisan na ang mga kaklase ko.

Pansin ko ang paglunok niya nang makitang palapit ako sa kanya.

"I'm now married, Ms. Cruz. What happened to us doesn't have any meaning at all. It was just sex....so please..."

Napahalakhak ako dahil doon. Nang tumingin ako sa kamay niya ay wala naman siyang singsing na suot.

What a liar. I laughed to hide my embarassment.

"I don't care if you don't believe me. Now, will you please stop?"

Ang kapal ng mukha niya! Akala mo kung sinong gwapo! Well, pogi naman talaga siya. Pero siya lang ba ang pogi rito sa mundo?! Aba kung makaasta akala mo mamahalin!

"Ughhhh!!! Kainis!" Gigil na saad ko habang nag-aayos para pumunta sa bar na pinagtra-trabahuan ko.

"Oh, bakit mukhang badtrip ka ata?" Tanong sa akin ni Tonton, isa sa mga katrabahuan ko.

I snapped him then rolled my eyes. "Tigilan mo nga ako. Ito oh order nila."

Nginisian niya lang ako at inilingan bago kinuha ang listahan. Naghintay ako nang kaunti hanggang sa mai-ready ang order na iyon. He then gave me the customers' orders.

"Sir, Ma'am, order niyo po." I smiled sweetly at them.

"Oh! Thank you, dear!"

Tumango ako sa kanila. "Just hit the bell if you still need anything, Ma'am." Bago ko sila iniwan doon.

Pinagpatuloy ko ang pagse-serve sa mga bawat tables ng iba't-ibang alak at mga orders nila. At nang matapos ang shift ko, napahinga ako nang malalim. I looked at the clock and I saw that it's almost midnight already.

Inayos ko na ang mga gamit ko at naghanda na rin para makaalis na.

"Una na ako, Ton." Tinanguan lang niya ako at pagkatapos ay lumabas na ako ng bar.

"Hay, makakatulog na rin sa wakas!" Ani ko habang naghihintay ng sasakyan sa labas.

"Eliyah?" Napalingon ako sa lalaking tumawag ng pangalan ko, si Justine Disero. Kaklase ko.

Nginitian ko siya. "Yes?"

Nakakunot ang noo niya habang hawak-hawak ang susi ng kotse niya. "Ano'ng ginagawa mo rito?"

"Dito ako nagtra-trabaho. As a waitress." Pansin ko ang pagkagulat sa mga mata niya.

"Do you need a ride?" Ngisi niya.

Napataas ako ng kilay dahil doon. "Saan ba?"

He chuckled. "Ikaw kung saan mo gusto. Sa sasakyan ko ba? O sa akin?"

But I didn't laugh. Nang mapansin niya ang seryoso kong mukha ay napatikhim siya. "Just kidding,"

Ngunit kalaunan ay tinaggap ko na rin ang alok niya.

Nagpahatid ako sa kanya hanggang sa makarating kami sa inuupahan kong bed space.

Nakakunot ang noo niya nang makita ang hinintuan naming bahay. "Bakit dito ka nagpababa? This isn't you house, Eliyah."

I looked straightly to his eyes. "Do you want us to make out?" Tanong ko rito, iniiba ang usapan.

He gulped. Hindi na ako naghintay pa nang anumang oras. Tinaggal ko ang seatbelt ko at agad pumatong sa kanya at hinalikan siya. I heard his growl but then kissed me back after a minute.

"Tara sa likod please..." Ani niya habang ang mga mata ay nakatutok pa rin sa aking mga labi.

Humalakhak ako sa kanya at pinatakan siya ng isang halik. "I'm tired. Next time na lang. Thank you for the ride, by the way." I smirked as I went out of his car.

"Did you kiss that fucking Disero?" Professor Rex asked me when he called me to his office.

Napakunot ang noo ko dahil doon. "Justine Disero, Prof?"

He clenched his jaw. "I don't fucking care about his name. Did you fucking kiss that Disero yesterday?"

Nagtataka man ay sinagot ko pa rin. "Yes? We made out yesterday...but we didn't go farther--"

"Sit on my fucking lap and fucking kiss me." Saad niya na nagpagulat sa akin.

Napaawang ang aking bibig dahil sa uri ng pagkakasabi niya at sa uri ng pagkakatingin niya sa akin ay tila ba bawal akong tumanggi. Na dapat ko siyang sundin. At hindi ko maintindihan ang sarili ko kung bakit wala akong ibang ginawa kung hindi ang magpaubaya sa kanya. Ang halik na aming pinagsaluhan ay nauwi sa isang masarap na p********k.

"Pack your clothes for a 3-day vacation. Pupunta tayong Batangas." Kinabukasan ay saad niya.

Nanlaki ang mata ko dahil sa excitement ngunit agad nga ring naputol dahil sa trabaho ko. Hindi ako pwede.

"Uhmm, hindi ako pwede eh." Malungkot kong ani.

His brows furrowed at me. "Why?"

"May trabaho kasi ako mula lunes hanggang sabado--"

"Where?" Pagpuputol niya sa akin.

I told him the name of the bar and his jaw clenched and his eyes darkened at me. He closed it tightly then sighed.

"Ako na ang bahala. Just pack your clothes for a 3-day vacation. We'll leave on friday afternoon."

"Okay?" Then I giggled.

Hindi na ulit naulit ang nangyari sa amin sa office niya. Hindi rin namin pinapansin ang isa't-isa dahil alam naming mali iyon. This is wrong. Maling magkaroon ng relasyon ang isang studyante at Professor. At natatakot ako hindi para sa akin...kundi para sa kanya.

What if he loses his job? Kaya hangga't makakaya kong pigilan, pipigilan ko.

Katulad nang sinabi niya, umalis nga kami papuntang Batangas ng friday nang hapon. We rode his car and we reached Batangas in the evening.

"Welcome Batangas! Whooa!" Sigaw ko pagkalabas namin ni Rex sa sasakyan niya.

Nilingon ko siya at nahuli ko siyang umiiling habang binibigay ang susi sa valet. Nang matapos siya ay inalalayan niya ako habang papasok sa hotel na pagtutuluyan namin.

Na-kwento niya sa aking hindi naman pala bakasyon ang gagawin namin dito. He needs to close a deal for their company. Nagulat nga ako nang malamang mayaman pala siya at tagapagmana ng isa sa mga kinikilalang kompanya sa buong bansa. Ang Montello Incorporated.

"Do you think I can close the deal?" Tanong niya habang kumakain kami ng dinner namin.

Nanliit ang mata ko sa kanya, tinatansya ang kakayahan niya base sa kanyang katawan. "Oo naman!" Masigla kong sagot.

"Bakit parang napilitan ka?" He then chuckled.

And damn! Ang sarap pakinggan! Parang gusto ko na lang mahiga kasama siya at pakinggan ang lahat ng lumalabas sa bibig niya.

Tumigil ka nga, Eliyah!

"Ang tanong mo lang naman ay kung kaya mo bang i-close ang deal? Syempre oo! Pero hindi ako sure kung ikaw ba ang mapipili para sa deal na 'yon? Gets mo?" Kasabay noon ay ang paghagikgik ko.

Natatawang umiling siya sa akin. Pinagpatuloy namin ang pagkain namin hanggang sa hilain kami ng antok.

Magkatabi kaming natulog sa iisang kama nang gabing iyon. Yakap-yakap niya ako nang mahigpit at pati ang kanyang paa ay nakapatong sa akin. Locking me to his body as we happily sleep that night.

Ang aking ulo ay nasa kanyang dibdib kaya naman lagi kong sinisinghap ang kanyang bango.

And fuck, his scent turns me on. Wala pa siyang ginagawa pero ibang klase ang epekto nito sa katawan ko.

Dahil doon ay mas lalo kong isiniksik ang sarili ko sa katawan niya. Hanggang sa makatulog kami.

    Rex's POVMaaga akong nagising kinabukasan. It's 6:00 in the morning so I still have time to prepare for today's meeting. Nilingon ko si Eliyah na natutulog pa rin sa tabi ko. She is hugging my body tightly while her face is placed on my chest. I lift my free arm then brought it to her pink lips and feel its softness. Tumagal ang hinlalaki ko roon nang ilang segundo bago ito umakyat sa kanyang buhok.I tucked some of her strands hair behind her neck. "Good Morning," bati ko sa kanya kahit alam kong hindi niya naman ako naririnig dahil tulog pa siya. "Ang ganda mo...sobra." Dahan-dahan kong tinanggal ang kamay niyang nakapalibot sa aking katawan pero lagi naman itong bumabalik. Hindi ko mapigilang matawa dahil doon. "Baby, I'll be late if you keep on hugging me." I whispered to her."Hmmm..." Ungol niya.I groaned because of it. "Stop please." Huminga ako nang malalim upang pakalmahin ang sarili ko. Buti na lang at inalis niya na rin naman ang pagkakayakap niya sa akin kalaunan. I ki

    Eliyah's POV"Kagigising ko pa lang Rex, mabaho pa ang hininga ko!" I cringed when he tried to kiss me on my lips. Hindi naman talaga mabaho. I am just really conscious about my looks and smell right now. Dapat kasi ako ang naunang nagigising eh! At para sana nakapag-ayos muna ako ng sarili ko bago siya gumising! But...why do I need to be conscious? I shouldn't right? At isa pa, I know that I smell so good hmm? He chuckled then he ran his pointed nose and red lips on my cheeks down to my neck. Nag-init ang pisngi ko dahil doon. Napalunok ako lalo na nang simulan niyang paulanan nang mumunting halik ang aking leeg. I craned my neck to give him more access onto it. Ang bango bango niya. Katatapos niya lang maligo at nagbibihis siya nang magising ako kaya lumapit siya para halikan ako. I don't know if it is Rex that I smell...but...a part of me thinks that I smell like him. Maybe because we were hugging at night? "You smell so good." He said breathily.Napasinghap ako dahil doon. "

    Third Person POVNakasimangot si Rex habang pinapanood si Eliyah na magtampisaw sa dagat. Nalulungkot man siya dahil sa naging sagutan at away nila kanina ay hindi niya naman maiwasang maging masaya para sa babae. "She really is much prettier when smiling." Saad niya sa sarili.Hindi niya pa rin maiwasang mainis lalo pa at may mga lalaking nakatingin sa kanya. Kaya naman nagpasya siyang lapitan si Eliyah at hagkan ito upang ipakita na siya ang nagmamay-ari dito. "Do you love how it feels, baby?" He whispered as he hugged Eliyah from the back.Napalingon si Eliyah sa lalaki at hindi niya maitago ang gulat na nararamdaman niya."A-Anong ginagawa mo rito?" Kinunot niya ang kanyang noo upang itago ang kaba na nararamdaman.Dahil kahit na medyo nagtatampo siya kay Rex ay hindi niya pa rin maiwasang mag-init dahil sa lalaki. Naka-topless lang si Rex habang siya naman ay naka two piece lang. Bakat na bakat ang pagkalalaki ni Rex lalo pa nang mabasa ang shorts nito."You said we need to enj

    Eliyah's POVKinabukasan ay ako ang naunang nagising sa aming dalawa. Rex is still sleeping beside me as I watched his face. Napangisi ako dahil kahit na natutulog siya ay nakakunot pa rin ang kanyang noo. His face seemed like in a chaotic form...but in a good chaos hmm?My hand flew to his hair and touched it. It was soft, like silk. Bumaba ang kamay ko sa kanyang mga malalalim na mga mata, down to his pointed nose, at sa naka-igting niyang panga. As you look at him, you could definitely see the playboy and fuckboy side of him. Unang tingin pa lang, malalaman mo na agad na hindi siya nagse-seryoso and that he's just open for a one night stand. For a fuck buddy. And not for a serious relationship. He's a man who doesn't want to commit. A man who doesn't love. Kaya nakakapagtaka para sa akin ang mga sinambit niya kagabi. My heart reacted from it. But I knew, it didn't have any meaning for him. Dahil alam ko sa umpisa pa lang, na hindi siya marunong magmahal. For him to love is a big

Did she think I was just joking when I told her I love her? Syempre, Rex! You're a damn fuckboy! Who would believe you anyway?Napahinga ako nang malalim pagkalabas ko sa hotel room namin. Inilabas ko ang cellphone ko at doon ko nakita ang sunod-sunod na mensahe galing kay Shennun. I swallowed hard as I read her messages. From Shennun;You're not replying to any of my messages, LoveLove? Reply please?Have you eaten your breakfast, love? Please huwag mong gutumin ang sarili mo hmmm?I love you, love! Goodluck on your presentation!Love, how's the presentation? I love you!I closed my eyes tightly. I felt gulty, damn! Alam kong mali ang ginagawa kong ito. I'm hurting a girl because of my actions.

    Eliyah's POVHindi ko alam kung saan pumunta si Rex pagkatapos niya akong ihatid sa suit namin. Before we left the westside, I saw him looking widely and sadly at the woman in front of us. Hindi ko kilala ang babae at hindi ito pamilyar sa akin pero isa lang ang sa tingin kong tama—she is Rex's mother. Magkamukhang-magkamukha sila. Even if I was looking at her from afar, I could see their similarities already, what more if I saw her from a short distance hmm? Naka-higa ako habang pinapanood ang kisame ng suit namin. Pinapakiramdaman ko ang sarili ko kung may mali ba pero mukhang wala naman? Hays, bukas pa naman kami mage-explore about the sea here. Sana naman hindi ako lagnatin.Gusto ko mang hintayin si Rex sa pagdating niya ngunit hindi ko na nagawa pa dahil sa unti-unting pagbagsak ng mga talukap ng mata ko.

With her message, alam kong matagal na siyang nanghihinala... and tonight she proved to herself that she's right. "Mom-"I couldn't finish my sentence because of her slap. My head turned to other direction because of the intensity of her slap. Napalunok ako at napahawak sa pisnging sinampal niya. "You're such a disgusting man, Rex! Nakakadiri ka! You're a married man! A family man! May asawa ka na! But here you are, fucking and flirting with your mistr-"I clenched my jaw and cut her off. "Mom! Don't you ever call Eliyah with that word." mariin kong ani.

Walang masyadong nagbago sa kanya. And... my husband? Her husband? Who? Bulag ba siya?I was about to answer when Rex caressed my hand and hide me thoroughly at his back, seems like protecting me from Shennun. Pansin ko ang galit at sakit sa mga mata ni Shennun habang nakatingin sa amin. Ano bang ginagawa niya rito? What? Is she going to ruin my new life here? Is she going to push me away from this University? "Shennun, leave. Please leave," Gulat akong napalingon kay Rex dahil sa sinabi niya. How the hell did he know Shennun's name?

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.

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.

    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

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

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

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.

    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.

"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
