WHAT HAPPENED…
I went out of the room where Rum hid me to end everything. I am about to shoot Rum because I know that he wants to hide me away from Duke. I know he wants to kill Duke so that Duke won’t rescue me and I will be his completely. I recall what he did to my friends too and to Pearl, Mark, Cherry, and Rob. I really want to kill him. That is why I pointed his gun at him but when I saw him close his eyes rather than beg or fight for his life. He looks like he already accepted his fate because he knew I was going to kill him but the moment I saw him raise his hands and close his eyes. I feel pity and my heart hurts seeing him giving his fate in my hand.
I suddenly recall what happened and who is the root cause of everything. The pain of being cheated, the feeling of being crushed and broken by the man you tr
I never expected that Lady would choose me because of that time when he pointed the gun at me. I accepted my death in her hands. I know she will shoot me because I know how much he loves Duke but I was surprised when he shot Duke not just once but twice. I watched Duke fall to the ground beside me. I stood up and ran to her when I saw her fall to the ground while trying to stop her tears. I know she is very tired but that is okay. I hugged her to make her feel that everything is fine now. I remember she looked at me and the moment I held her hand and helped her stand I told myself that SHE IS MY QUEEN because I never forget the look into her eyes when she saw me raise my hands to her and close my eyes. She feels pity. Oh, wait! not pity but love. I know she feels love for me and that is not manipulation anymore. I believe that we are destined to each other and it’s sad but I think God only uses Candy and Duke for us to meet. That is why I asked
I am alone changing my clothes inside my room because I am dirty and sweating, cleaning the house. I want the whole house to be clean. I want the food to be ready before Duke arrives from work because I know he is tired. Duke is always travelling delivering things that their clients ask. He is working in a logistic company while I am working from home. I am doing my online cosmetics and clothes business, and at the same time, I am teaching English lessons to Korean students. Duke and I are already engaged, and we are living together in the house that my parents gave me because they moved now to Canada. They left their car under my name, too, and we are so lucky to start a new life together without starting from scratch. Duke is working hard to save money. Same as me because we are planning to put up a resto- bar business in the future. So that he doesn’t need to go to work every day and we have our own time. No boss, no reports and most of all, we
I know I love Lady, but I can’t help myself not to see Candy. Candy is a sweet girl, caring, pretty, and she is younger than Lady and me. She is Lady’s opposite. If Lady loves reading. Candy loves watching movies with me. If Lady wants to take photos of events. Candy wants to record and take photos of our moments together because she wants to treasure every moment we are together. I am happy with Lady, but I am also happy with Candy. Lady didn’t know about Candy, and Candy didn’t know about Lady. I know Lady will get mad if she finds out about Candy, and same with Candy. I don’t want to lose Lady, and I also don’t want to lose Candy. I am standing between them. Right now, I lied to Lady just to see Candy. I know that she is alone waiting for me at home but she will not know about this. She doesn't need to know about Candy and Candy doesn’t need to know about Lady too. Right now I will go to Candy because she i
I woke up without Duke beside me. He is still not home. It is already seven ‘o'clock in the morning and I am late for my appointment. I drink my coffee and take a bath. Mark is already messaging me asking me where I am now. He is already waiting for me at the cafe that we set to meet.. I call Duke but he is not answering his phone. I message him but he is not also replying. I hope he is okay. Even though I am in a hurry I still manage to take a pen and paper to leave a note for Duke.“Hi, love,I know that you are already tired and I am not home to make you coffee. That is why I made you coffee in advance. Just microwave it if it is already cold when you arrive. I went to the cafe at the Molino to meet up with the buyer and to send a package to LBC. I love you so much an
It’s twelve midnight when Duke leaves for work again and I am alone by myself again. After we fight because of his nonsense jealousy. He left the house without talking to me and I feel like I want to go to his office to observe and investigate if he is really going to work on those days and on those times. I can search the address on the internet anyway but I know he will be mad if I went to his office and asked about his schedule of work. I know I will make him embarrassed and He will not like it. It will start a fight again. He will tell me that I don’t trust him. So even if I want to, I stop myself for the sake of “us” not to fight.I am home alone again but it is okay because I have a lot of things to do. After I deliver the orders. I have a schedule of teaching in the afternoon. That is why I never get bored even when I am always home alone. I just miss Duke
I don’t know why I can’t get Lady out of my head. I feel like I am mesmerized by her smile, by her face, and by the way, she talks, the simplicity that shows her real beauty captures my attention and I can’t forget the beauty of her face no matter what I do. It makes me want to see her and I really want to see her now because I can’t concentrate on my work. I am facing my monitor and physically present at work but my mind is with her and I don’t know why. I put my phone inside my pocket and brought it inside the production floor to check for her reply to my message. I am checking my phone from time to time and she is not accepting my friend request, she is not replying to my messages either and she is not answering my call that bothers me. That makes me think about her more and I don’t know what to do because I can’t get her out of my head. I can’t concentrate on my work and I feel like I am floating with the vision of her inside my head. I feel like I want to shout, I feel like I w
I feel my phone vibrating beside me that is why I slowly pick it up. I am sleeping and I am still sleepy when I try to open my eyes just to check who is calling me. I suddenly woke up when I saw a man standing at the door looking at me. My visions are still blurry that is why I haven’t seen his face clearly. I stand up to check who the man is and how he got inside but he has suddenly gone. He was gone in an instant. I checked my phone and I saw ten missed calls from Mark and none from Duke and eleven messages from Mark and none from Duke. I ignore Mark’s messages and calls because I feel like I will cheat on Duke if I will entertain Mark. I took a deep breath because I am expecting a call or a message from Duke but he is not calling or even messaging me. I checked the time and it is already ten o’clock p.m. and Duke is not yet home. I tried to call him but he is not answering my call. I put
What happened to Lady makes me realize my craziness. I didn’t know that she was pregnant, a good thing that nothing’s happened to our child. I am stupid not to know about it because I am so busy and focused on Candy. Now Lady is pregnant and I will not forgive myself if something happens to her and to our baby. I need to fix things up. I need to break up with Candy and focus on Lady. I need to clean my mess. I will fix everything with Lady. I don’t want to leave her alone for one month but I have to, because I have work to do and this time it is pure work and after one month I will go home and take good care of Lady. I asked my younger cousin to look over Lady while she is studying nursing. I picked her up in their house in General Trias and I promised Lady that I will resign and quit my job after this one-month project. I will focus on her and take good care of her, now that she’s pregnant. We will put a business together so that I don’t need to go o

AFTER ONE YEAR I cut my long hair into short hair, I dyed my black hair into blonde because I want a brand new life. A brand new me because I believe that I need to move on and go on with my life and leave the past behind. I want to forget the past too because there is a lot more in the future. Now that I have my baby girl and she is so cute she makes me better by making me fall in love with her every day. That is why I changed my looks too. To bury the past behind and never look back. I put a tattoo on my back, A birth date, and a death date because I want to remember the bittersweet that happened in my past. It is also my reminder that playing someone's heart is not good because it may cause death to someone and heartache for those who will be left behind and why at the back? Because it is already past. The nightmare that I had, the nightmare that a
Wearing my mask and my gun in the holster. I need to kill him first before he finds Lady because I will never let him hurt Lady again. I know he doesn’t deserve her love. That is why he can never take Lady from here, from me.We continue fighting. I punched him in the face after he hit me again with the wood that he was holding. I smashed his head twice on the wall and I know he felt dizzy. That is why I pulled my gun from the holster. I’m about to shoot him when he tapped the gun and I dropped it on the floor. I knew he would pick it, which is why I immediately kicked it but it went to the front of the camouflage room where I hid Lady. That gave me the urge to kill him now before he found out the door where I hid Lady.“Where is she?” He asked again.
I arrived at the address that the man gave me. The place looks like an abandoned rest house. It is big and beautiful if it is fixed. I walk slowly to avoid creating noise because I don’t want him to know that I am already here. The place is dark and quiet. I looked around and I saw a piece of wood that I can use as a weapon to fight the monster who captured my queen. I went inside and I saw Grey’s dead body wrapped in plastic. I looked at him closer. His eyes have almost popped out, his mouth is open and his body is full of bruises and wounds. “I am sorry buddy,” I said in my head. I didn’t expect that I would see him dead. Whoever killed him is evil and I know he is the one who has Lady. So I need to be careful with Lady because I don’t want her to get hurt as much as possible.
I am shaking because I am nervous. I want to tell her everything even if I don't know if she will listen to my reason or if she will forgive me. The important thing is I will tell her the truth to ease the fear I am feeling right now. The fear of losing her because I know I put her in a situation that she doesn't deserve. I punished her for the sin that she never did and I never expected that little by little I would fall in love with her by watching her. I know she has a lot of pain right now and I am one of the causes of it and I want to kiss those pains away but how? I am one who caused her pain. I am the monster who’s holding her hand and doesn't want to let her go. Am I selfish if I ask her to stay? After I hurt her and take her life away. Well, I guess; it doesn’t matter because what matters now is I will tell her everything. Everything that she needs to know is that the real monster here is the man that she loves. The man that she w
The door opened and I saw Duke. My eyes grew wide because of excitement. Finally, he is here to rescue me. I run to him and hug him because I miss him so much.“Love,” I said when I looked at him again. I get disappointed because it is not Duke but the man who is wearing a mask. I removed my arms around him and went back from where I was sitting and I looked away. He didn’t say anything but he closed the door and walked near me. I looked at him irritably and asked, “What did you want?” But he didn’t answer. He sat beside me and looked at me. I know he is holding a camera but I pretend that I didn’t see it. I think he wants to show me something but whatever it is. It doesn’t interest me. Right now he is not only looking at me but staring at me. That electrifies me, makes my heart beat fast and I feel like I can't breathe and I want to put my lips
Finally, the one month is over and I am so excited to go home to see Lady to be with her again because it’s been one month since we are not together. I promised her that I will resign after my one-month project to focus on her and our baby; To take good care of them, to pay for all my shortcomings and the pain that I made her feel recently. I will pay it all with love, faithfulness, and honesty. So that is what I did. I passed my resignation paper before going home. Tomorrow I will be with her for our baby’s check-up. I am thinking about her now and how I miss her. I am thinking about our baby’s name too. I hope it’s a girl that looks like me but with her mother’s traits. I think about Lady now and I want to hug and kiss her when I reach home. I borrowed Ray’s phone to call her while I was inside the bus with Ray. I am sitting beside the window and Ray is sitting near the aisle going home but she is not answering my
Alone in this tiny room again with the yellow light and an egg tray wall. I hugged the pillow that he gave me and took a deep breath. Recalling what I did because I don’t know why I kissed him. I don’t know why I wrapped my arms around him but I know he can’t look at me and he feels uneasy every time I look at him. I saw his hand closed when I told him that I am thinking about Duke because I am really thinking about Duke because I miss him so much. I am wondering if he is already home and if he is looking for me. I still believe that he will come and rescue me and together we will go home and continue the plans that we have for our baby. I touched my baby again inside my womb and I tried not to cry. I know my baby is fighting so I need to fight too even though I know it’s hard.I closed my eyes and recalled his lips unintentionally because I felt his warm kiss ev
