"It all started with an affair" Crown started of but was literally cutted off by the sudden appearance of Cedric, Crowns brother, on my mom and dad's screen. He was, as usual, wearing his signature expression, the 'I don't give a fuck about everything but If it's gossip, I'm in'. "I don't know if I should listen to this craziness or what." He said with a monotoned tone and bored look. " I don't even know why you knew all of this when I'm literally older than you"Mom and Dad just smiled awkwardly as they try to shut Cedric's mouth up, But Crown just rolled his eyes and then smirked afterwards."Ofcourse, I'm the chismoso of the house after all" He said proudly." And also, why are you at Tita's? "Cedric just sighed and shooked his head, not willing to answer but then he settled down to listen to the 'Amazing story'."Our Grandpa's and Keith's Grandpa are friends at first. They do everything together, they were inseparable, atleast that's what she said"Everyone was listening attenti
"This is yours!" Sigaw ko Kay Keith ng ipagpilitan niyang hindi niya anak ang dinadala ko.I struggled from the grasp of his body guards as I continue telling him that this child, growing inside of me is his. "Can you shut the fuck up, Barbara. It's not mine, therefore I will not take responsibility for that. Go and abort that thing, If you want! " dumagundong ang boses niya sa loob ng European-style office niya.He was sitting arrogantly in his swivel chair as he watch me being dragged by his body guards." Thing?! You called this kid a thing? No! You enjoyed rocking your hips back and forth, spurting your seeds inside of me at ng nabuo ay ayaw mo na?! " I yelled at him." Gago ka ba?! "" I don't care of whatever you said, Barbara. Let's just say anak ko nga 'yan but my wife is pregnant, I don't need two heirs" He's eyes shifted to my womb "And besides, you're just the mistress. You have no rights"I could no longer identify the emotions I'm feeling right now, I felt like my whole
"Wait.... Mom... What do you mean.. He's out to get me?" curious by what she said, I ask.Bumuntong-hininga si Mom bago niya sabihin ang isang balitang parang sumampal sa akin."What?!" "Yes, It's true, Honey. After you left, That guy came up to us saying you have his heir.... funny how I remember you saying he has a wife, they are inlove and...." she took a sip from her tea before continuing "You crying that you were just his mistress"He came here?! The Audacity!Napakakapal talaga ng mukha ng lalaking iyon.... Oh god! What if he'll take Lev away from me? I.... I can't have that!What should I do?"What the Fuck?!" I blurted out.I just remember mom was here! Shit! I slipped. "Barbara----" Alam ko kung ano ang isisigaw ni Mom kaya pinigilan ko na, Nakakahiya kaya! "Mom... Please, I don't wanna hear my full name right now.... It's... It's embarrassing." I told her while my face was flushed with redness.Mom look at me like I told her a not-so-funny joke."What's wrong with the na
"What?! What is he doing here?" I ask her immediately, I clutch my son's clothes as I embrace him tighter.Manang Belen looked at me, hesitating if sasabihin niya ba sa akin, in terms of Lev's presence.I understood what her eyes has been meaning to tell me."Claudia!" Tawag ko sa Yaya ni Lev, who immediately came running with sweats in here forehead."Y... Yes, Ma'am?""Watch over my son. I have matters to deal with outside, make sure that he will not be exposed outside. Understand?" I told her as I unclasped my grasp from my son, who was no looking at me with confusion.His face were red but the curiousness and confusion were still there."Hon, Mom has matters to settle so I want you to stay here with your Ate Claudia and not go out, Okay?" Ani ko sa kanya before I kissed his cheeks and turns to the door to leave. "Grandma and Grandpa will be here, so stay put, m'kay?"I told him and turns to leave, but before I do so, I saw my son raises his palm and waves at me, with a smile but h
"Perhaps.... I mean... Won't you mind having a child with me to please our eldest?!"Parang sirang plaka na nagpaulit-ulit sa aking isipan ang sinaad ni Keith, Ilang araw na matapos Ang nangyari pero heto ako ngayon at nagpagulong-gulong sa kama dahil sa kahihiyan.Is this what they call second-hand embarrassment? Oh god, it's a feeling I never want to experience, again."Love..... What's the matter?"Lev, who was sitting in his study table, spoke up.I smiled awkwardly bago lumapit at niyakap siya patalikod."Lev..... Do you want papa?" Tanong ko dito.He look at me, His eyes was full of suspicion, but I know he will not voice it out." No. " He said with firm voice before he continued reading.Lev's acting weird. His actions this days when we arrived in the Philippines is somewhat...... mature." But, son, You want papa right? remember when you told me to give him to you on Christmas? "I said pertaining to his wish, that he mentioned when he was just three."Mommy, yes, I longed fo
"Napakasipag mo at pati asawa ko, trinabraho mo rin." nanunuyang litanya ni Sasha sa akin.Mabuti nalang at kami lang ang naririto sa loob ng opisina, soundproof ang office ni Dad kaya mase-settle sana namin ito ng kami lang."Sasha, what are you doing here? In our territory?"I said to her, standing up to confront her."Oh? do you not want the people here to know about your abominable doings?" tugon niya sa akin ng nakangisi.Sasha is pretty gorgeous herself, with an hourglass body and pale skin, Anyone would mistaken her for a high-class model.Naglakbay ang mata niya mula sa paa ko hanggang ulo then she snickered."You're not beyond my level pero pinatulan ka parin ni Keith, you should consider yourself lucky" nanunuya niyang saad sa akin.I clenched my fist as I breathed heavily."I am done with Keith so why are you bringing this up now?"What I said made her burst into a chuckle."Oh, Dear. Bitch, I knew Keith went to your house...." She whispered right into my ears ng nakalapit
I was fazed.Sev? Here, In the Philippines?I have to get home..... this instance.I could feel the excitement and joy slowly building up on me. "Okay, Baby. Can you keep him company for awhile? I'll be home in ten minutes" I immediately grab my purse that is on the table and stands up to leave, but to my surprise, A hand grabbed my arm and pulled me back, agressively. It's Keith's.I tried to shake his hands off but to no avail. His grasps were very tight, and painful. Binaling ko sa kaniya Ang aking atensiyon and I saw how his eyes turns grim and dark, his veins in his neck was very visible.And this could only mean one thing. Galit siya. Galit na Galit."Who the fucking hell is that?" even his voice shows his angered expression.Binaklas ko ang kamay niyang nakahawak sa akin, I composed myself before answering him.Ano bang pake niya ha? "It's none of your fucking business, Keith. Thanks for the meal, I'm leaving." ani ko at tumalikod na para makaalis na sa lugar na ito.Sev w
"I like you" I felt the whole world stopped as I was stunned by his sudden confession."Ah.... Eh..." di ko alam kung ano ang isasagot, para akong napipi dahil sa nangyayari. Uminit ang pisngi ko tungo sa leeg, hindi dahil sa kahihiyan kundi dahil sa kasiyahan.Matagal na panahon ko nang crush si Keith Ramírez, at kahit na magkalaban ang pamilya namin dahil sa di malamang dahilan, eh nagkagusto parin itong puso ko sa kanya. I was just a trainee sa company ni Dad and I met Keith ng minsang bumisita sila noong bata pa kami, and kahit na bata pa kami noon eh, tinamaan na ng kupido ang aking puso."You know about the situation of our family, right?" Paglilinaw ko sa kanya, baka pala bingi siya, at di niya narinig ang kung anong problema Ang kinakaharap ng pamilya niya dahil sa amin. Parang napaka-suspicious. May duda ako, pero pinipilit kong wag pairalin. He nodded at me before standing straight and looking at me, straight in the eye." Yes, And I don't care. I like you... scratch that

Halloween's Specials(Sev's Point of View)Today is Halloween and I, Sev, Intends to scare my precious lil twin and then laugh at him.It was going according to plan and all..... until... Something happened.Someone was there yet I know to myself that I am alone.White.... White BoogeymanIt all started when I was just preparing for the equipments I would need for my plan, that includes the ropes and some stuffs I needed when..."Hey, Sev, Happy Halloween!! Let's go around the subdivision and go trick-or-treating." Leomendel, my friend told me, His father was Dad's buddy, So that's why he became my friend too. Sometimes, I wondered how and why did we became friends, His personality sucks. " No way! We ain't kids anymore, Leo, We literally aged 13 two months ago And as you can see. your dear friend here is busy. besides I have a plan for today. " I answered him while I was going through my plan one more time, Where do I have to put the rope so it won't be too obvious? Should I ask Dad
( Sev is banned)Before the day of their birth, Everybody usually expects a serene and perfect day, but....... "Sev! Just what the hell did you do to the credit card I lend you?!"SevTall and Masculine, Lev entered his brother's room, shouting."I bought a few bunch of stuff.... why?"Tall and petite, Sev, who was busy flipping the pages of a book he's holding, turned to Lev. He's studying for the upcoming final exam in the university so his study table is literally filled with a whole bunch of books. "A few?! 15 million worth of stuff isn't a few! What did you buy anyway?""Uh.... The not-so expensive car..... " Sev said in a low tone while he pretended to read the letters on his book that he's holding.Lev rolled his eyes. Really?! He's obviously lying."Sev.... did you buy another bunch of book again?"Lev saw how Sev flinched, knowing his brother's habits, looked at Sev with a smug looked." Okay. Okay. Fine. I did bought a few bunch of new books but it's only a few okay? "Lev
Crown? Why would he need Crown? They never actually met and......they don't know one another so why?Anyways.... Gotta tell Keith about this."So Matthias called?" Tanong ni Keith sa kin, which made me nod."He did called me, saying I should meet him up somewhere without anyone knowing. " Ani ko habang nilulunok ang sandwich na kanina ko pa nginunguya." strangely...... He doesn't want anyone to know but he's involving Crown. "What I said made Keith stunned. I was curious why would he be dumbfounded but if I must say it was understandable. Matthias and Crown never met so it's strange that he wants Crown to see him.And I doubt Crown would be willing to side with his us for now, I think he's patching things up with Sasha."Bat nya naman gustong makita si Crown?" I blurted. " They never even met one another.... it's very weird, don't you think so?"Si Keith na kanina pa malalim Ang isip ay umiling, he sat down with me and he suddenly grasped my hand.To my surprise, he kissed me making
"How was it?" tanong ko Kay Keith ng pumasok siya dito sa kusina. I left him with Lev and Sev earlier to give them some space, and I guess it's done."They're asleep." Narinig ko siyang tumikhim pero hindi ko siya pinansin at ipinagpatuloy ang pagpi-prito ng hotdogs at sunny side up na ipapalamon ko dito sa bwiseta ko."Why didn't you tell me?" tanong niya sa akin sa mahinang boses.I flipped the egg and hotdogs before I answered him. " It's 'cause you don't deserve them, at least that's what I thought two weeks ago."I just hear him sigh and sigh over and over again, he's somewhat controlling himself."You..But i didn't see them when I was paying someone to spy on you?"Spy?! Wait, What?! Why?"The fuck... Why? are you telling me that I've been snooped all this time?!"He nodded without hesitation.God!"Yeah." I tilted my head as I try to flip the egg to the plate, but I almost shrieked when an amount of oil almost landed on my arm. I felt a hand taking the plate and the spatula
"Are you sure you don't want to meet or even just see him from afar, Lev?"Sev probe to his brother who was busy building something from their toy blocks. Lev seems so serious with it that Sev even hesitated telling him about their father.To Sev's surprise, Lev turned to him with a wide grin plastered on his face." I'm 98 percent sure, Kuya.""e' paano naman yung 2 percent jan?"" I know you know. "Sev's eyes dilated and then chuckled.Such a baby!" Just say you want to meet him. "Lev continued building his blocks, Sev just sneered.Even thought he's a minute older than Lev, Lev treated him like he's the younger brother. The pros of that was, He love being pampered. The cons was, everyone thinks he's an incompetent brother for depending on his baby brother.But over all, He loves that Sev's and his mother's attention and affection is only directed to him and it only circulates only with the three of them.Selfish, isn't? But that's how Sev feels, Maybe he got it from his father?
Why on earth would Matthias ask my son about those paperwork's when in the first place, he doesn't have anything to do with it? Is it that he's just too curious? Or does it mean something else?I shook my head, trying to take those suspicions out of my mind."You okay?" My eyes drifted back to Keith's worried expression."Yeah... Some typical stuff..."So, might be wondering on how did I end up here. Well, After Tita and I talked, A thought kind of came up to me. Even if Keith did some bad stuff before... maybe it's worth the shot for him to meet our sons."I'm actually glad that you agreed on meeting me....." he scratched his neck. "Got my hopes up."I ain't here for the hope you're thinking, bud. I thought of before giving him a blank faced look.I can feel my heart beating so fast, maybe from nervousness, yet it's sort of different, like a melodic type of rhythm, that was very familiar to me in many ways. "I have billion of chances to meet you and be with you when you were in the
"Oh. But can I ask you, Tita...." I said as plastered seriousness in my face and voice, after remembering the reason why I'm here. "What is it that you want to talk about?"She smiled."Mrs. Krishna Ramírez.... Your Orders here." Tita Krishna's attention went from me to the owner, who was bringing our orders with her male assistant." Thank you, Adrianna. But you should've called me Tita like what I said."The owner, whom named as Adrianna, smiled at Tita and leaned down to kiss Tita Krishna on her cheeks before she smiled at me and leave." Now, Now, Where were we? "Bumalik ako sa reyalidad ng magsalita si Tita, she was sipping the tea out of an antique teacup-- The smell of Earl Grey filled the atmosphere, the fragrant and aromatic brew that is both comforting and refreshing.I smiled after remembering something bago sumipsip ng frappe na inorder ko kani-kanina lang."The question, Tita. What was the thing that you want to talk about?"Tita lowered the cup and crosses her leg from
"So you're saying that the spaghetti with meatballs which bastard Keith has given you.... was eaten by Lev and Sev and now Sev's stomach didn't reject it and worst he won't stop talking about it..."I slapped Crown's mouth and grabbed my coffee before taking a sip.Stress!"Uh. Yes. Now, stop talking." Ani ko.Crown sat by my office's sofa while crossing his leg."How is it a problem? you even called me in the middle of the night because of that."Umirap ako habang pinagpapatuloy ang pag-inom ng kape.I didn't even have an inch time of sleep, because of Sev."It is a problem. Sev won't shut up. Kagabi niya pa sinasabi sa akin na masarap yung spaghetti at meatball na yun.... " Hinilot ko ang sintido ko when I felt a slight dizziness."How can I just say na yes masarap Yun dahil galing Yun sa papa mo?."" You Okay? "I sensed worriedness in Crown's voice." Why not introduce them to one another.... it might heal Sev"Napatayo ako at hinampas Ang aking lamesa pero napaupo rin dahil sa hil
