I don't know why, but even though I had a little argument with Elijah, it doesn't bother me at all. I found his reactions earlier amusing, natuwa talaga ako! And if he hadn't said that I'm just a 'little sister,' I would think he's madly jealous of Sebastian, which is why he doesn't want me talking to him.

Kasi bakit naman ayaw niya? His reason--or papa's reason for not letting me have a male friend is too shallow for me. Napag-isip ko na mababaw 'yon at kung si Sebastian, papa will not decline because he knew the Ynares clan.

"Pristine, your lolo is here already. Are you going to have your dinner? Pumunta muna tayo sa opisina niya at ipakita ang mga damit."

Nakuha ang atensyon ko ng Ate Lena nang tawagin niya ako. She looked nervous. Nagsalubong ang mga kilay ko dahil hindi naman siya usually ganito, oo may kaba siya pero parang mas kabado siya ngayon.

"Did something happen, ate?" nag-aalala ko na tanong.

Magkasalikop ang mga kamay niya. I looked at Kio at the back, he was standing n

    Pagkalabas ng Ate Lena ay saka ko napagtanto na hindi ako ipinatawag ng lolo tungkol sa pag-uusap sa susuotin na damit sa Charity gala. Naramdaman ko ang panlalamig ng mga kamay ko nang tumingin ito sa akin. Pero sandali lang dahil mas matagal ang naging atensyon niya kay Elijah."I thought you were working on a special case in Karmona?"He knew? Akala ko ay sa papa lang nagsabi si Eli. Pero sabagay rin walang nakakalampas na balita sa lolo. Lahat dito ay nalalaman niya. He has eyes and ears inside this mansion."I'm done with my work, sir.""Three weeks, and you're done with barely a single day completed?" sagot ng lolo habang napapailing. Hindi kumbinsido sa sagot ni Eli.Hindi naman na niya tinuloy ang pagtatanong dahil na sa akin na ulit ang pansin niya. Ang nanlilisik na mga mata. Umayos ako ng tayo at nakatingin lang rin sa lolo. He doesn't like it when he's talking to me and I'm not looking at him."Gael will no longer be your fiancé, Pristine. If he ever talks to you or shows

    I know Elijah isn't afraid of lolo, but that doesn't mean he should be talking back right now! Lolo Yago is still mad, and the reaction I see in him makes me think of the cruel things he might do to Eli for speaking up. Kita ko rin ang gulat, ang galit sa mukha pagkatapos habang nakatingin ito sa amin."How dare you speak to me like that?" bawat salita ay may diiin nang marinig ko 'yon sa lolo. I bit my lower lip and felt so much fear when I heard his footsteps coming to us.Ang bilis ng ginawa kong paghawak sa kamay ni Elijah kahit na alam ko na hindi siya padadaig ngayon sa galit. He's not looking at me, diretso rin ang tingin niya sa lolo habang nanlilisik ang mga mata."You're nothing but a damn bodyguard—how dare you question me about my granddaughter!"Dumagundong ang malakas na boses ng Lolo Yago sa buong silid na ikinanginig ko pang lalo sa takot. I pushed Elijah hard but he was standing firm like he was ready of anything that might happen to him.Nang masiguro ko na hindi tal

    Elijah Clementine Kirovsky Regalonte"Ma'am," I greeted, bowing my head in front of the co-owner of Regalontes, the private security company where I work."I don't remember asking you to come back home, Clementine."Home.Tumaas ang sulok ng mga labi ko sa sinagot nito.It wasn't an order but a reminder to come back every time I heard she would be in the country. Not because I needed to report to her about work, but because I knew the chaos that would happen at home whenever she returned.She and my father would play their usual game—a dangerous game of life and death.I walked towards her.Sitting on the couch was my mother, Elena Kamila Kirovskaya, 56, a retired Russian assassin. She is the co-owner of the private security company owned by my father, where I was a bodyguard.And the reason why I work as a bodyguard after resigning as a navy seal is because of their plans for me—which I never questioned because I trust them. They told me that in order for me to be the next head, I ne

    "Clementine."I looked at my mother again. Tumuwid ako ng pagkakatayo nang makita ang nanunuri niyang mga mata. Hindi ko rin namalayan na kuyom na naman ang mga kamay ko. Napagtanto ko lang nang tumingin siya doon."She's... fine.""You took a long time to answer. No threats?""There are still a few. Last week, she was being followed, but it was handled quietly."Tumango siya sa sagot ko. Hindi nauubos ang mga tao na gustong makuha bilang hostage si Pristine dahil sa lolo niya, she's not just aware of it because I made sure that even before she noticed, those assholes were already deeply buried."I received the photos you sent me last week about her. Thank you for that. Anything that I need to know? Si Pierre? May sinasabi ba siya sa 'yo tungkol sa pagbabantay mo sa anak niya?"Umiling ako. "He's satisfied with our service.""Good. Keep what you are doing. Don't make a mistake that will make him fire you, Clementine.""Yes, ma'am."Do we need the Vera Esperanzas that much? Siguro. Lal

    PristineI already expected Elijah to let go of me, but not so quickly. After I asked him if that was part of how he treated me as his 'little sister,' he did not only moved away. Pagkabitaw ay walang salita na lumabas siya ng silid ko na ikinakunot ko ng noo. Umalis na hindi ako sinagot."After hugging me so tight like that?" hindi makapaniwala na tanong ko.I can't help but to smile. Nailapat ko ang palad ko sa leeg ko kung saan ko naramdaman ang mukha niya kanina. That was the first time he did that. Inaamoy niya ako when he noticed that I smell different--or if I am wearing perfumes but not that close."And his arms were so huge..." I whispered. Napahimas ako sa mga braso ko dahil kulong na kulong ako kanina sa mga bisig ni Elijah.How am I going to forgot this feeling if he's being like this? Like a possessive brother who doesn't want his little sister to get married? Napaka unfair naman sa parte ko, dahil kung si Eli ay ang tingin sa akin nakababatang kapatid kaya mas lumalapit

    After all the things that I've said, I have no intention to deny it from Kio. Dahil wala naman rin ibang ibig sabihin ang mga sinabi ko na hindi ko kaya nang wala si Elijah. It's not about me safety anymore...Dahan-dahan ako na tumango kay Kio at sinundan rin 'yon ng pagsagot."I-I like him... but he only sees me as a little sister, Kio," sabi ko sa kaniya."Ohh..." namilog naman ang mga labi niya at tumango-tango siya. Napahimas na naman siya sa noo niya at pagkatapos ay sa batok. Mukhang hindi niya alam kung ano ang sasabihin sa akin."I am aware of the age difference, Kio. He's thirty, and I am eighteen—a huge difference. But one day I realized that I like Eli, not just because he can protect me from Grandpa, but because he makes me feel special in every way. How he takes care of me, how he treats me—everything. And he's so gentle when it comes to me."Napangiti naman siya at napatango sa akin."Can you imagine how stern he is, but he's sweet and gentle to me?""Hindi ko nga ma-im

    Since last night, Elijah has been looking at Kio and me with suspicion in his eyes. Lalo na nang sabihin ko sa kaniya na nagpadala na ako ng message kay papa na manatili si Kio bilang bodyguard ko r in which I immediately get a response that he agreed.At ang mga tingin na ito ni Eli ay hindi ko nagugustuhan lalo pa at ang sungit-sungit niya pagdating kay Kio. Parang pinag-iinitan. Kaninang umaga nang nasa hapagkainan kami at nagbe-breakfast ay ilang beses niya na inutusan si Kio para kumuha ng tubig. I mean, we have maids to do that, pero ito talaga ang inutusan niya.Tapos when Kio gave him water, he said that he wanted it warm.When the latter went back to the kitchen to get warm water, Eli said that it was too hot for him. Nang makabalik na ulit si Kio at may dala nang hindi ganoon kainit ay sinabi naman niya na ang gusto na daw niya ay malamig na tubig.Tapos pwede naman na sa iisang sasakyan kami sumakay pero sinabi niya na sa likod daw namin si Kio at magbantay.I mean!

    Ang unang pumasok sa isipan ko nang makita ko ang galit sa mukha ni Elijah ay harapin siya at ilayo agad kay Sebastian but the hand of the latter was holding me so tight that I can't even step-forward para makalapit ulit kay Eli."What do you think you are doing, Ynares?" tanong ko pero wala sa akin ang atensyon niya.Pareho sila ni Elijah na nakatingin sa isa't-isa at walang kumukurap. Walang gusto na magbaba ng tingin dahil ayaw nilang magpatalo.Ugh. T-These two! I felt like they've known each other to act like this! Ang isura ni Sebastian ay nang-aasar at pakiramdam ko ang nakakuyom na kamay ni Eli ay malapit nang umangat at suntukin ang mukha ng kaharap.We will be in trouble if that happens!Muli ko na sinubukan na bawiin ang kamay ko at doon na napatingin sa akin si Sebastian. And when I glared at him, his smiled became wide as if he's enjoying what's happening."Shouldn't you be at my side, Pristine? I suppose nagkausap na kayo ng lolo mo.""Nagkausap pero hindi ibig sabihin n

    "Pristine."Sa gitna ng paghingi ko ng tawad ng ilang ulit kay Sebastian ay narinig ko ang boses ng papa sa aking likod. Natigilan ako, napasinghap, at medyo nataranta dahil sa mga luha na nasa magkabilang pisngi ko. He will be worried if he sees me crying kaya agad kong pinalis ang mga iyon.Si Sebastian naman sa harapan ko ay napatingin sa likod ko at bahagyang yumuko. I knew he was showing respect to my father, who was now walking closer to us. Huminga ako ng malalim at inayos ang sarili ko. Nang sakto nang nasa likod ko na ang papa ay saka naman ako humarap."Pa..."But when I saw him, he wasn't looking at me—he was looking at Sebastian. Seryoso ang ekspresyon ng mukha ng aking ama, na ikinakunot ng noo ko. Alam kong hindi naman masamang tao ang tingin niya kay Sebastian, kilala niya ito bilang mabuting bata dahil anak ito ng kaibigan rin niya sa negosyo, pero the way he was looking at him right now... it was as if the latter was an enemy."Mr. Vera Esperanza—""No need for the fo

    Nanlamig ang pakiramdam ko lalo na sa paraan ng pagtingin niya sa akin.Maybe I hoped too much... m-maybe the light I saw in him, the kindness I thought he had shown me despite knowing I'm in love with someone else, was never real. That he really had his own intentions."S-Sebastian—" and I gasped when he suddenly pulled me by the arm, umatras ako at sinubukan kong bawiin ang braso ko pero mahigpit na niyang hawak 'yon."Is this what you really want? Ang pilitin rin ako, Sebastian?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko. "Hindi mo naiintindihan ngayon kung anong ginagawa ko, Pristine, but soon, you will..." mabibigat ang bawat salita nang sabihin niya, na ikinailing ko.Ano pa ba ang hindi ko naiintindihan d-dito? "Pero tama ka, I have the power to make this stop, for you to be free, Pristine. At alam mo ba bukod doon? Kaya ko rin mapaluhod ang lolo mo sa harapan ko. Hindi ba't ang gusto mo ay makakawala sa kaniya? Na mas maprotektahan kayo ng papa mo. That's what I'm fckng doing right now

    Agad akong napahawak sa gilid para hindi tuluyang matumba. Nang lingunin ko naman si Kio ay nakaalalay na siya pero umayos rin nang makitang seryoso ang tingin ko sa kaniya.What was the name of that drug again? Hindi medicine 'yon at alam kong intentional na banggitin ni Kio na medicine para hindi ako mag-alala dahil nakita niya kung paano rin ako napraning dahil dalawang linggo nang walang malay si Elijah! Naningkit lalo ang mga mata ko sa pag-alala doon. What was--Astra! Yes. That was the name of that drug. Iyon ang narinig ko na pangalan nang pag-usapan nilang dalawa 'yon ni Havoc!And when I asked Esther, she said that Astra is as a drug rather than medicine, it can be described as a sedative or hypnotic substance with strong sleep-inducing effects. At totoo nga daw na pwedeng isang buwan o higit pa ang maging epekto non!Nang maalala ko 'yon ay mas tumalim ang tingin ko kay Kio."No. You will not use that drug," I said, my voice strict and cold, leaving no room for argument.

    I slowly moved away from Elijah on the bed. Nakatingin ako sa kaniya habang ingat na ingat akong hindi siya magising. He fell asleep after we talked about my birthday, na ilang araw na lang ang binibilang. Natuwa pa nga ako dahil hindi na niya binanggit pa si Sebastian. Pero iyong sinabi niyang "runaway"bago namin mapag-usapan ang mga magaganap sa birthday ko—it actually sounded like he's not that serious, but he also looked like he is... ganoon ang pakiramdam ko, eh.Honestly, I wasn't surprised by that question anymore. Kasi simula nang sabihin niya sa akin na tutulungan niya akong umalis sa bahay na 'to, na makalayo sa lolo ay naramdaman ko nang mauulit muli 'yon. And because of what happened to me recently, when Lolo Halyago hurt me again, hindi na rin ako nagulat sa tanong ni Elijah.At sa totoo lang, pagkatapos ng mga nalaman ko mula kay lolo mismo, gustong-gusto ko na rin umalis dito. I’m just gathering enough courage to talk to my father. Nagpasya ako na sabihin dito ang tung

    Nang hindi sumagot si Elijah ay sumampa ako sa kama at niyakap siya. I rested my head in his chest and hugged him tightly. "Should I remind you that you are not just myBodyguard? Or should I remind you how much... I love you?" I heard his breathing, his fast heartbeat and then he moved after I said that. Ang mga kamay niya ay dumako sa baywang ko. Hinihintay ko rin siyang magsalita pero nang manatili siyang tahimik pagkalipas nang ilang segunod ay napatingin ako sa kaniya. But I gasped and was surprised when his arms gently carry me to his lap. Ngayon ay mas dumikit ako sa kaniya at gahibla na lang ang layo ng mga labi namin sa isa't-isa. "I'm scared..." he whispered. "Eli..." I called him with concern. I knew it... hindi lang pagsisisi sa nagawa niya ang nararamdaman niya sa mga nakalipas na araw. "Still fckng scared and even after you said that you love me, Pristine? May mga araw na sa tuwing nakatingin ako sa 'yo, pakiramdam ko maaaring magbago ang tingin mo sa 'kin, and tha

    Elijah didn't recover right away after he woke up from two weeks of sleep. Nanghihina pa rin siya kahit tatlong araw na ang nakalipas. Kio and Havoc had expected this to happen, sila na muna ang in-charge sa safety namin ng papa. Pero unang araw nang magising si Eli ay hindi rin naman ako nakatiis at pagkatapos lumiban na ako sa klase. Now I've been absent for two days and. Nakaalalay ako sa tabi ni Elijah, I was the one feeding him, assisting him to his needs o sa kung ano ang gagawin niya. I even stayed with him in his room because I'm afraid that something bad might happen. Dito talaga ako natutulog, sa kama sa tabi niya and he didn't disagree with that. Hindi kasi maalis ang kaba sa akin na baka mamaya ay mawalan ulit siya ng malay o ano. Ito rin ang naging epekto ng dalawang linggo niyang walang malay. But Eli... he was silent since he woke up and we had that conversation. Pakiramdam ko, itong dahilan ng pananahimik niya ay dahil hindi nga narealize rin niya na sumobra siya sa

    Hindi ko maiwasan na hindi makaramdam ng pag-aalala kay Elijah. Narito ako ngayon sa silid niya, sa may mansion rin at kanina pa siya pinagmamasdan. May IV siya sa kamay, may ilang mga nakalagay rin aparato para mamonitor ang hearbeat niya.H-How many days has it been? Lagpas na sa isang linggo kaya mas lalo akong nakakaramdam ng takot at kaba. Sir Antonius—Elijah's father told me that this is normal, he's calm yet I can't feel at ease with his words. Kahit alam kong mas siya ang nakakaalam ng totoong lagay ng anak niya.Ang gusto rin noong una ng Sir Antonius pagkatapos ng nangyari nang araw na pigilan niya si Eli at mawalan ng malay ay iuuwi niya ito pero nakiusap ako na kung maaari ay dito na lang sana at huwag nang ilayo pa. Alam ko kasi na magiging limitado lang ang pagbisita ko, baka hindi rin ako kaagad makaalis kung kailan ko gustuhin. At nagpapasalamat naman ako dahil pumayag naman rin ito."I understand you, hija. Okay. But, I need to talk to your father and explain what real

    My eyes blinked a few times because I couldn't process it. That after everything I said, I still couldn't stop him. "W-Why... E-Eli..." Naikuyom ko ang nanginginig kong mga kamay habang patuloy ako sa pag-iyak. My sobs filled my room, and it hurt me even more. Mas nanunuot 'yong sakit sa bawat segundo na lumilipas. I truly understood now how far Elijah w-was willing to go to give me a peaceful life—even if it meant h-he wouldn't be a part of it anymore. "No... Ayoko ng b-buhay na wala siya." Pagkasabi ko non ay kaagad rin akong tumayo. Even if my body still hurt from what lolo did earlier, I stood up and ran to stop Elijah. "Eli!" I shouted. Tumayo ako at kahit na walang sapin sa paa ay sinundan ko siya. Pagkalabas ko ng silid ko ay walang kahit sinong nakabantay. Ang bilis ng pagtibok ng puso ko habang tinatakbo na ang palabas. H-He was fast! "Elijah!" sigaw kong muli at nang makarating na ako sa hagdan pababa ay doon ko siya nakitang palabas na mismo ng mansion. Hindi ako tu

    Ilang beses ko ba kailangan ipaliwanag? N-na hindi naman niya' yon kasalanan. "It drives me insane that I wasn't able to protect you, that I failed to keep you safe... it was like knives digging deeper inside me. And I’m angry at myself because I promised to always be there for you, to never let anything harm you. I can do it, I can fcking kill all of them to make you safe. Pero ano ang nangyari? You were hurt... badly hurt that I almost... lost you."His eyes... there was only the feeling of his pain and his regret. And despite everything, I could feel how much he cared, how deeply he felt for me, at n-nasasaktan ako ng sobra na makita siyang ganito lalo at alam ko rin kung ano ang pinagdaanan niya sa kamay ng lolo at ng mga kaaway nito para lang masiguro ang kaligtasan ko."Hindi mo 'yon k-kasalanan, Elijah..." sagot ko habang umiiling sa kaniya. At kahit sa nanlalabong mga mata ay nakita ko ang pagbabago ng ekspresyon sa mukha niya. The softness vanished, the worry was nowhere to
