Chapter 71"This is my Kelly 20 Mini II Sellier Geranium Shiny Alligator Gold Hardware Limited edition..." I nodded, that's why it's beautiful because it's limited edition first of all."You can hold it..." The Señyora told me, and I shook my head one after the other."It's okay, don't..." It's still embarrassing anyway, what! He already let me in."You know everything inside here is also yours, Selena." I frowned at what the lady said and then she handed me the red bag. Instead of falling to the floor, I immediately reached out and hugged him, making sure he wouldn't fall from my grasp."No -" But before I could finish what I was going to say, Señyora immediately cut me off."Aren't you surprised that I treat you extra especially compared to our other helpers?""It's noticeable that I'm embarrassed to ask, not because I want to if we're just like this, but I feel like I don't have the right to ask why. You're already helping me and you might think that I'm not satisfied, that I'm st
Chapter 72"First of all, Selena asked Sofia and Joven to check who really owns your land and house in my hacienda." And then I took the papers from the Atty., he handed them to me while Señyora and Señyor were just listening.I took the paper and then tried to read it just in case I was in high school and I only understood a little of what was written on it."So that we can understand each other more easily." Atty. added, so again if you look at him. "I just gave that to you to copy you Selena." I just nodded and waited for what Atty said next.,."We found out that the land your Father believed was inherited was his and not theirs." And then the Atty. breathed a sigh of relief, the real owner of the land is the Baptist family. Baptist? Whose family is that? Then myb suddenly flashback in my mind, it was Marga's Facebook that they used to check with Kia. Marga Bautista is her name on her account.I was able to shake hands with one of the things I realized and heard from Atty.,"We als
Chapter 73"Listen to us first and then we will let you go and think." I just forced myself to calm down and sat down next to Atty., the lady continued to talk about how we were getting along anyway."I remember you were just 2 years old when your Daddy and I got very busy with work because we were just starting the construction business at that time. Most of the time, it was your and Kenzo's Nannies who are watching over you guys, from the moment you wake up in the morning until you go to bed at night.And finally, after a long time of being busy, Joven and I had a break from work and of course the first thing I thought about was to have a bonding with you and Kenzo. I miss you guys so much, when I see you in the morning before Joven and I leave work you are still asleep and when we go home you are already asleep too.We set up a picnic party in my backyard, I asked all your nannies and all the helpers in the mansion to get a day off on that day. It's like we're the only five in the
Chapter 74"Does that mean you believe in Joven?" I cried and the lady asked me more and then I saw myself at the dining table with the lady and the lady eating at the same time as I was eating and they were asking me what things I wanted, food, the lady even invited me to go shopping and they said we ate outside so we could get to know more.It's like now there are a lot of stories, but it's okay because I enjoy listening to him, about his adventures in traveling, shopping, and even eating."You know, because my best friend and I were so bored, I asked him to eat at all the stores inside the mall, but we were already full because we ordered everything from two fast foods." And then he laughed as if it was happening now, I couldn't help but smile too, because I felt comfortable talking to the lady and then I felt like she was the same age as her stories.With so many of his stories, all I can do is laugh and nod, eh. "I was in my twenties when Joie and I were doing that, back when I h
Chapter 75 "I can take you to Channel Store however we have to go to Mandaluyong just in case hija I didn't reserve the whole shop so we have to join the other people who went shopping there today." I feel like my eyeballs are going to fall out of my eye socket anytime from what Señyora is saying."There's no need, I'm fine here at LV!""Uhm, I don't want to force you if you don't want to here at Louis Vuitton, the manager is my friend so I can just call him to cancel the reservation at the boutique.""No more, Señyora, it's okay, it's really okay here." To convince the lady even more, I grabbed her hand and pulled her into the boutique. The two guards opened the double doors for me and I was no longer surprised"Good Morning Ma'am Sofia." They said one after the other. The lady smiled and then greeted them, and they also greeted me. "Good morning Miss.""Uhm, good morning too." I said to the guards I was ashamed because they were terrible if you could see, I was surprised when Señy
Chapter 76After I combed my hair, I went straight to the shower to get down for breakfast. I was ready. The lady said last night that after we had breakfast, we were going to my place.It's like back then I used to take a shower in a bathroom made of sacks, but now the bathroom is bigger than the house I grew up in. If back then I only had five t-shirts now, I've lost count of how many identical t-shirts I have, all I know is that I also have a huge closet here in the mansion full of different types of clothes that even I must have never imagined that I would have one, I also have two different walk in closets where my bags, shoes and accessories are."Good morning." I greeted Señyora and Señyor when I saw them sitting at the dining table, Señyor was busy reading the paper he was holding, well that's how he is every morning.While Señyora was busy with her iPod, they were distracted when they heard my greeting."Good morning too Hija. How was your sleep?" The lady asked me. One of th
Chapter 77"The taboo is delicious." And then I slowly moved away from him when I looked at his face, he was shocked."Don't... don't say that -" I immediately cut him off."Whatever you're thinking, you're right." And then I turned my back on him and continued to leave the wash room. When I was about to enter the dining area of the restaurant, my walking slowed down little by little especially when I saw the backs of the people sitting at the table where Mommy and Daddy were sitting earlier.I don't know what's going on but I can feel my knees shaking, so I slowed down until I stopped walking and was stunned by the people talking in front of me.Round table is the table where Mommy is. Daddy is still in the middle where he usually sits, Mommy is on my left side just next to Daddy, then another woman almost the same age as Mommy was sitting next to her, then another old man.Then my empty seat looked like Marga was sitting and the next seat there was a man with his back to where I w
Chapter 78"I understand." Marga's Dad walked away so Mommy and I were left behind."Uhmm..." Well, the four of us are silent and I think since I started the trouble I should be the one to say it."I'm not sorry for what I did!" I will explain right away. Mommy and Daddy didn't say anything, that's why I was so surprised when Kenzo suddenly touched the other one."What are you doing?" I was angry when I asked him and then I tried to take my left wrist back, but he only tightened his grip."Let's talk." He said emphatically and before I could protest, he effortlessly pulled me out of the dinning area."Why don't you let me go! One!" And then I pulled my hand again just in case he was back in his habit of acting as if he didn't hear anything and he was only following himself. He pulled Marga away from the table and then took her to my wash room so the five of us were left with Marga's Daddy."I'm sorry. I'm sorry Juancho." Mom said."I don't think we can continue the wedding conversatio
Chapter 12I gasped as my tears fell one after another, I felt the exact pain I felt the day I found out that Mom and Dad were gone, the only difference was now, Kenzo was here with me. And somehow I feel relieved that I can no longer feel that I am alone."I'm sorry for not being there for you when you needed me the most. I was supposed to be there to accompany you but I wasn't.I even turned my back on you and tried to forget what we are, what we have back then. I know it's too late for me to apologize to you. The damage has been done. I can't take back the time we lost and those times you are hurting, those times you are in so much pain because of me and that tragedy happened.I'm sorry, I thought the decision I had was correct... I thought that over time you will forget about me, what happened to us. The memories we have together especially since you know that I have continued my marriage with Marga. I will not ask you to understand my marriage with Marga. The more I have no reaso
Chapter 11I would have accepted it if you did it in the first months when this issue was still hot, but no! You really waited for my anger towards you to take root before you made such a move. T angina!" I snapped at him."Selena please..." And then he held my palm and gently squeezed my palm and continued what he was saying."Mom and Dad observe that we are distant from each other, like we are still strangers despite the fact that we are siblings. Mom is sometimes asking if we're in a secret fight. She keeps on questioning me, that there is something happened to us here at the hacienda that they didn't know. Reason why we have this cold relationship. She doesn't believe that it's just about you having a misunderstanding with Marga back then.""Well, you shouldn't have told them that you made me pass the time and make fun of me the first time you came here to the hacienda!" I told him using my furious voice while at the same time looking straight into his eyes.I can already feel my
Chapter 9Kenzo immediately came close to me and then he also knelt in front of me to check on me. He violently combed his hair with one of his hands, when he saw how I would cover the wound with my other hand when it was my knee."I told you to be careful. You really won't listen." He said to me annoyed and then he held that hand if he was holding it, I don't even want it if I look at his face and he looks at me badly. I just got angry and let him see my knee."Look at the size of your wound." Kenzo told me strongly and he still doesn't think anything bad about me. In fact, my wound was really big, like the size of my palm. Sigh. I couldn't say anything because I couldn't think of anything other than the pain in my knee and how I could get out of where we were sitting. So I tried to stand up..."Hey... what are you doing?" Kenzo quickly told me and then he held me by both of my waists, it's a good thing he was supporting me because I might have been sitting where I was standing witho
Chapter 8Why do I suddenly feel the same as a child? Because I make Mommy cry?"Selena, Hija let's go inside. We can talk about this more inside. I promise your Mom and I will fix this." Daddy said more but I just shook my head."Why, Dad, don't you want them to know who you and Mommy really are?" I can already hear the whispering of people behind me."Let's talk inside so you can easily finish the problem I brought? What's the difference between what you tell me inside and what you tell me now, right? I'm already my hint as to how this will end, eh! I'm grounded ? What this time, can I walk around until I'm only inside the mansion? Or can I only go to the four corners of my room? And then the helpers will bring me food.""Son, it's not like that..." Daddy answered."Dad, Mom... I understand the part that why you are addicted to work is for Kenzo and I's future. I received that part a long time ago, the only thing I don't understand now is why I am not happy? Yes, I am thankful You a
Chapter 7When I went down into the water, my body immediately relaxed because of the warm water on the bathtub and then I put my knees together and hugged them, then put my chin on it."Doesn't anyone even know that it's my birthday today..." I said to the air and before my tears started to fall, I closed my eyes tightly.After taking a bath, I am feeling too lazy to take care of myself so I ended up lying in bed naked and hair is still wet from the bath. I didn't even notice that I fell asleep completely. It's just that I fell asleep a bit quickly because I heard noises outside.It looks like their fun outside is in full blast. So, I got up from my bed and went straight to the walk in closet to get my clothes on and then I decided to go out to see what was going on outside but I won't let them see me.I just want to see what's going on because I can't see anything from here in my room except the roof of the tent they built.I'm even a little weirded out by myself because, I went out
Chapter 6The party, dining, dancing continued since my orchestra was arranged for this party. I didn't even notice that with the number of guests there was a line in front of our table. Everyone seems to want to meet me at my bonus because everyone is carrying a gift that they seem to want to give to me personally.I just noticed that Mommy has been busy on her phone for a while, even when we get up for a phone call, she seems to be my problem, well I think it's just basing on her facial expression.Until the next person in line was Mommy and Daddy's friend who talked to us."Hello again Hija." And then he smiled at me. I smiled too."Um, hi." I shyly told him."Your Mommy's speech for you was so touching that I even cried a little." My mouth fell open in shock and he smiled as he finally laughed."Selena by the way, I haven't even introduced my comrade to you yet." Daddy intervened in our conversation."Let me do the honor mate..." And then he extended his hand to me and then he sai
Chapter 5"I love you Son." And then he hugged me tighter. Symepre, I hugged him back and smiled too."I love you too, Mom." I answered him. Mommy loosened a little from hugging me and then she pressed our foreheads together. He closed his eyes and said –"Happy eighteenth birthday, son." I smiled too."Thank you, Mom." Daddy approached me at the same time as Mommy loosened her hug. I just noticed that Daddy was holding a paper bag in my hand."Happy birthday, son." And then he handed me the paper bag. I smiled and then reached for it."Thank you Dad.""I love you too Hija." And then Daddy also kissed me on the side of my forehead. Mommy turned to me and then said –"I'm sure you'll be happy when you see your Dad's and I gift for you, Hija." So we moved to the couch so I could open their gift to me.What I got from the paper bag that Daddy handed me was a black rectangle box, Cartier was even written in the middle of the box. There is a red ribbon in the middle so I pulled it to open
Chapter 4What's up with them? I even asked myself and then I continued walking until I reached the patio. There, I saw a big tent with many round tables and chairs set up in the middle."Good morning Miss Selena." Looking at my side, I saw Aling Saling checking at our helpers. It seems that the saying old habbit, die hard is really true. Just like when I was one of the hacienda's helpers, he also watched over our workers and checked who was cheating. Sigh."Uh, yeah. Good morning too, Aling Saling." And until now I still have no idea what's going on and everyone is busy... Fortunately, before I could ask him, he told me what I wanted to know."Have you met Senyora and Senyor? Today is the feeding program and later the Doctors that the Senyora spoke to will come for a free check up."Oh, okay. So, I didn't know Mom and Dad were coming here and only now, I remember that Clara's Mama told me about this event."Señorito Kenzo and Miss Yelena are also around, it's funny and they are also
Chapter 3"Now you look like Mr. Sawabe, Selena!" And he and Kenzo laughed.Kenzo also stopped tickling both of my hips but I still laughed."Dad do you have your phone with you?" Yelena asked out of the blue."Um, yeah." And then Kenzo took out his phone from his pocket."Perfect! Let's take pictures!" Yelena answered excitedly. So, that's our first picture, I was lying on my carpet smiling while Kenzo took the picture and Yelena and I were on either side of me.We also left many posts, like Yelena is in the middle and Kenzo and I are on both sides. There are solo pictures of Yelena, my solo pictures, as well as Kenzo. Yelena only has two of them."I'll take a solo picture of you and Daddy, Selena!" Yelena said later."Huh? Don't." I told him right away. Maybe the pictures are okay too, there are a lot of them. "Alright, I'm going to prepare the cupcakes so you can put designs on them, Yelena."I was about to stand up from the carpet we were sitting on when Kenzo suddenly grabbed my
