SLOANI almost killed him… I almost killed my own husband. I didn’t know. I didn’t know that he was allergic to shrimp. If I just know… hindi ko na sana siya pinakain no’n.Tahimik lang ako habang nakaupo sa sofa at nakatingin kay Dominic na nakahiga sa hospital bed. He’s stable now and has been transferred to the VIP room. The doctor said it’s a good thing he was brought to the hospital quickly before the situation got worse.Davina, Attorney Delmundo’s twin sister, was sitting next to Dominic’s hospital bed, holding my husband’s hand as she watched him sleep.Hindi ko alam kung saan nanggagaling ang sakit na bumalot sa dibdib ko habang pinapanood siya. Ako dapat ang nandoon. Ako dapat ang may hawak ng kamay ni Dominic habang hinihintay siyang magising. Ako dapat ang una niyang makikita pagbukas ng mga mata niya pero pakiramdam ko ay wala akong karapatan pagkatapos ng nangyari.Ako ang nagdala sa kaniya sa ganitong sitwasyon. Gusto kong mainis kay Dominic dahil alam niya naman na all

SLOANDays had passed smoothly. A week after getting back from Pangasinan, we moved to the mansion Dominic bought in Forbes Park.Nauna na doon ang mga gamit namin at pinaayos niya na sa mga kasambahay ang mansion para raw wala na akong aalalahanin pa.“It’s not really necessary to have maids anymore, Dom. I can do household chores, can't you see?” I argued while he was driving.He sighed. “It’s a mansion, sweetie. It means it’s huge. You can't clean that mansion alone, okay? Besides, you're my wife, not my maid,” he said calmly.“Yeah, pero kaya ko naman kasi…” pagpipilit ko pa.“No.”“But—”“Sweetheart, no.”Ngumuso ako. Kanina ko pa siya kinukulit na huwag nang mag-maid dahil dagdag gastos lang iyon ngunit ayaw niya talagang pumayag. Yes, I know that he has tons of money, and the salary he'll give to the household staff is just a pittance to him, but still hindi ko mapigilang manghinayang.I took a deep breath. “Fine,” pagsuko ko.He smirked in victory. Ganiyan siya palagi kapag si

SLOAN“Lahat ng problema ay may solusyon. Lahat ng problema ay nagagawan ng paraan. Kaya sana parehas ninyong lawakan ang inyong isipan kung sakaling dumating ang mga pagsubok na iyon.”Ito na ba ang pagsubok na tinutukoy ni Lola Pining no’ng minsang pumunta kami sa Isla San El Paso?I just realized now how difficult it is when you don’t have someone to turn to during times like this. I want someone to talk to so I can share what’s running through my mind right now, but who would I talk to? Wala naman akong kaibigan. Once again, I’m feeling the familiar loneliness again, which I haven’t felt for the past three months.“Kumusta, ma’am? Nagustuhan po ba ni sir—” Lila furrowed. “Teka, ayos lang po ba kayo, ma’am?”I looked at Lila and smiled forcefully.“Y-Yes. I’m fine. Magpapahinga lang ako sa kwarto,” sabi ko at nilagpasan siya. Dire-diretso ako paakyat sa pangalawang palapag, hindi binibigyang pansin ang mga nakamasid na mata ng mga kasambahay.Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako nagkakagan

SLOAN“Oh my god, Trice! The Philippines still hasn’t changed, it’s still hot as fucking ever. I hope I won’t get any darker here because I’m sure my manager will freak out if my skin gets any darker,” Avianna ranted exaggeratedly, her eyes widening while pulling her pink suitcase.“Why? I think tan skin looks good on you, Avi,” I said. Kakalabas lang namin ng NAIA terminal airport dahil sinundo ko siya.Nagkaroon si Avianna ng pagkakataon na makapunta rito sa Pilipinas para sa kaniyang one week vacation and para mabisita niya rin daw ako. She informed me last week through the phone that she was going to visit me here and have some relaxing vacation. Ang huling punta niya kasi rito ay eight years old pa lang kami no’n and my mom was still alive back then. Madalas ay ako ang bumibisita sa kanila sa Croatia kaya kahit papaano ay naging close kaming dalawa.“I know, right? I always try out filters that give me a tan skin look, and I am starting to get really obsessed with it.” She pouted

SLOAN “Do you think this gown looks good on me, Dom?” I asked Dominic, a little worried, as I stood in front of the full-length mirror, holding the gown I’d be wearing to Daddy’s party later. I’m usually confident when it comes to choosing my outfits because that’s one of the things I’m only good at, but I don’t know why I’m feeling self-conscious right now. Nakita ko sa repleksiyon ng salamin na tumayo si Dominic mula sa pagkakaupo sa gilid ng kama at saka lumapit sa kinatatayuan ko. He wrapped his arm around my waist from the back and rested his chin on my shoulder. Our eyes met in the reflection of the mirror. “You’re always beautiful, wife. Kahit ano ang suutin mo bagay sa ‘yo,” he said gently and smiled. I felt my cheeks warm up because of what he said. I rolled my eyes at him para matago ang pamumula ng pisngi ko dahil sa pambobola niya. He smirked. “You’re being a little bitchy na, huh?” he teased, pinching my nose. “Dominic!” I chided him, but he laughed and tightened hi

SLOAN“Wife, I'm sorry about that. I didn't expect that Puni would do that,” Dominic quickly explained as soon as Mr. Tan left to return to his table because the program was about to start.I calmly smiled. “It's fine, Dom.”Babae ako. Sa ginawang iyon ni Puni ay alam ko nang may gusto siya sa asawa ko at hindi ko siya masisisi kung nararamdaman niya iyon. My husband is a very attractive man, both physically and in his personality. He's a true gentleman that every woman would ask for.Kailangan ko nang masanay na maraming babaeng aaligid-aligid sa kaniya pero ang mahalaga ay sa akin pa rin siya uuwi."Are you mad?" he asked.I shook my head. "We already talked about this, right? I accepted your explanation without a doubt because I trust you. And let's move on, tapos na iyon. We're good now."Nakita kong nakahinga siya ng maluwag dahil sa sinabi ko. Noong gabing nagkaliwanagan kami sa nangyari ay pinangako ko sa sarili ko na hindi na ulit ako magdudududa kay Dominic.

SLOANI am devastated. Hindi ko na alam kung ano'ng dapat kong maramdaman. Kanina pa ako kumalma pero hindi ko pa rin matanggap ang mga nalaman ko.Pakiramdam ko ay pinaglalaruan lang ako ng tadhana. It will let me be happy for a short while before it throws another pain that will make it difficult for me to get up."Did you see that, Mommy? It hurts, right?" I said, looking up at the sky while drinking beer. “I can’t believe that Daddy lied to us…”Nandito ako ngayon sa may tabi ng swimming pool sa mansion, nakababad ang paa ko sa tubig habang mag-isang umiinom ng alak.I don't drink beer; in fact, this is my first time. I read somewhere that it's effective for temporarily forgetting what you feel. Kaya pala ito ang takbuhan ng mga brokenhearted.Nang kumalma na ako kanina ay dito na 'ko sa mansion dumeretso. Nagbilin ako sa mga tao sa bahay na huwag na lang ipaalam kahit kanino na nandito na ako kahit pa kay Dominic. I want to be alone in the meantime. Gustuhin ko man magpakalayo-la

DOMINICI gritted my teeth while holding my Beretta 92FS tightly. The gunfire outside the mansion between my men and unknown armed men still hasn’t stopped.“Mr. Velasco, how’s Madame Sloan?” Lila said breathlessly as I met her on the stairs. She’s also holding her pistol.“She’s in our walk-in closet. Make sure nothing bad happens to her in there because the last bullet of this gun will be buried in your skull if she gets even just a single scratch,” I threatened her seriously.She nodded bravely. “Masusunod, Mr. Velasco. Handa ko pong itaya ang buhay ko para kay Madame Sloan,” seryosong saad niya.“Good,” I muttered at saka nilagpasan na siya.Lila is Sloan’s frequent companion and maid in the mansion. She and the other maids aren’t just simple housekeepers, they are trained personnel and members of the Omega Organization under my command. I assigned them here because I knew this would happen. Alam na alam ko pero hindi ko inaasahan na ganito kaaga.I carefully walked down the stair

SLOANAfter I bought pasalubong for Yaya Basya and Ate Beeba here in Nepo Mall, I looked for a restaurant because I plan to bring lunch to Dominic at the factory.I don’t know the exact address of the VMC factory here, but there’s Google Maps naman and the company Dominic works for is well-known, so I know I won’t have a hard time finding it.Tumigil ang paa ko sa harap ng Yankee Bites isang American restaurant na nadito pa rin sa loob ng Nepo Mall.Kung tama ang pagkakaalala ko, half-American si Dominic kaya sigurado ako na miss niya nang kumain ng American cuisine.Pagpasok ko sa restaurant ay medyo maraming tao. Most of them are Americans who probably missed eating the American foods that they’re used to.I walked toward the counter. Dadamihan ko na lang siguro ang order ko para sabay na kaming mag-lunch ni Dominic.“Good noon! What do you want to have, Ma’am?” nakangiting tanong ng babae sa counter.I looked at the countertop menu and read the available dishes.“C-Can I have Jamba
