Sa elevator, naramdaman niyang nag-aapoy pa rin sa galit si Trojack habang tinititigan siya nito.

"Rosa, tigilan mo na ang pagiging matigas ang ulo. Hindi ka ba puwedeng maging masunurin kahit minsan?" Sinabi niya iyon na may mabigat na tono, sabay dampi ng kanyang suit sa balikat niya nang huminto ang elevator.

Sa labas ng elevator, may dalawang lalaki ang nag-uusap kaya hindi naniya tinanggal ang suit sa dibdib niya. Saktong may dumating na taxi at may ibinaba na pasahero, she went inside with his suit while Trojack watched her go.

He stood rooted to the spot, his sharp gaze following her as the vehicle disappeared into the traffic, his suit still wrapped snugly around her.

Habang nasa biyahe, magulo ang isip ni Rosa. Ang maganda niyang evening gown na nagkakahalaga ng milyon-milyon ay tuluyang nasira.

A seven-figure evening gown, ruined!

How can I ever going to make up for it?

"Damn it!" napamura siya, iniiling ang ulo sa inis.

When she returned to the boutique, the store manager

    Back at her office, Rosa was interrupted by her assistant, Vrest.“Miss Rosa, there’s a guest here to see you,” the assistant announced, ushering someone in.Nang itaas ni Rosa ang tingin, nagulat siya.Michael?“Miss Rosa!” he greeted her enthusiastically.Rosa forced a professional smile. “Mr. Quilao, what a surprise. What brings you here?”"I came to order a custom set of jewelry for my mother’s birthday," sabi ni Michael, ang mga mata'y kumikinang na tila may binabalak.She nodded, quickly slipping into her business persona. “Of course. Let’s discuss the details.”"Mr. Quilao, does your mother have any specific preferences? For example, the shape, color of the diamonds, or whether she prefers diamonds, jade, or crystals?" Tanong ni Rosa, habang nagsusulat siya ng ilang detalye sa kanyang notebook.He leaned back in his chair, crossing one leg over the other with casual confidence. “Diamonds, of course. The more expensive, the better. Pagdating sa mga diamante, mas maganda kung mas

    "She works for my company," Trojack said curtly, his tone neutral yet firm. "I met her at the jewelry exhibition yesterday. She's taken your spot.""Oh! So, brother, you really acquired the jewelry company!" his brother exclaimed, his tone light with admiration. "You know, Rosa and I are actually very good friends," he added casually. Then, with a sly smile, he leaned forward. "Kumusta naman? Maganda ba siya?""Do you want to pursue her?" he asked pointedly.Shan laughed, though a hint of helplessness crept into his tone. "She’s not an easy woman to chase. Tatlong taon ko na siyang sinusuyo pero hindi pa rin ako nagtatagumpay. Kaya magkaibigan na lang muna kami!""How do you know her?" Trojack’s voice dropped, his gaze sharpening."Naalala mo ba ang aksidente ko sa kotse tatlong taon na ang nakalilipas?” Shan began, his voice softening. "The one where my car flipped over? It was her who saved me. If she hadn’t dragged me out of the wreckage, I would have been blown to bits."Trojack’s

    "Miss Rosa," he said, his voice carrying an edge that cut through the room, "I expect you to show respect here. This is a place of business, not a playground."A few people in the room chuckled at the tension. The fact that the boss had singled her out in front of everyone seemed to amuse them. After all, it wasn’t every day that someone dared to defy the President openly. Kakaibang tao talaga ang isang Rosa Melandez.The more people and their co-workers witness her being like this, mas napapatulala sila sa kaniya. Hindi nila alam kung mamamngha ba sila o dapat silang mainis sa attitude nito na kahit mismo ang Presifdent ay hinahayaan lang.Rosa, however, remained unruffled. She leaned back slightly, propped her chin on her hand, and smiled at him. "Thank you, President Yddro, for the life lesson pero gusto ko lang naman maging sarili ko. Kung hindi mo ako gusto at sa kung ano ang mga gagawin ko, tanggalin mo na ako."A collective gasp filled the room. Rosa had just spoken to the noto

    "The person you met is MIchael Quilao, whom I happened to meet at the jewelry exhibition last night," she explained casually, her tone confident and unruffled.Muling dumilim ang mukha ng lalaki. This woman knew perfectly well that Shan had questionable intentions, yet she still agreed to meet him—at eight in the evening, no less. His frustration simmered beneath the surface, barely contained."May masamang balak siya sa'yo, hindi mo ba nakikita?" His voice carried an edge, sharp with irritation and concern."I only know that my design draft is worth seven figures." Malamig ang sagot ni Rosa. Ang nais niya lang ay makuha ang komisyon."Let someone else handle it," Trojack suggested, his tone calm but firm."Hindi puwede. Ito ang trabaho ko, at ako mismo ang magtatapos nito.” she responded briskly, her resolve unyielding. "And frankly, I don't need someone worrying about me." She rose, walked to the door of her office, and opened it wide. "Please leave. I have work to do."HIs jaw clen

    "You... get out of here!" she screamed, her voice shaking but defiant. "I’m here to design, not for anything else. Leave me alone!"MIchael leaned against the door, his sneer widening as he watched her struggle. "You’ve already been drugged," he said, his voice dripping with malice. "If you don’t find a man to help you, you’ll feel worse. Much, much worse." His tone made it clear he thought she was already caught in his trap, parang isang ibon sa loob ng hawla si Rosa, na hindi na makakalabas sa kanyang mga palad.Rosa shook her head violently, even as her vision blurred and her body betrayed her. Her legs felt weak, and dizziness clouded her mind. She stumbled back, but he moved closer, reaching out to grab her arm.Nilabanan niya ang sarili na hindi matumba, ngunit nang papalapit na ang kamay ni Michael para dakpin siya, biglang sumigaw ng malamig na boses, "Pakawalan mo si Miss Rosa."The sound cut through the suffocating tension like a knife.Startled, Michael turned toward the so

    "Nakarating na ba tayo sa ospital?" tanong ni Trojack habang nakatingin sa harap. "Almost there," Walter answered quickly, glancing at the rearview mirror before steering the car toward the entrance of a nearby hospital. The car stopped, and Trojack didn’t wait. He was out of the car in an instant, pulling open Rosa’s door. Without a word, he scooped her up in his arms, her body limp and weak against him. He didn’t care about the mess her clothes were in or the way she leaned into him, only that she was still breathing, still here. As he carried her into the hospital, he could feel the weight of his own frustration, the tightness in his chest that was growing with every step. He had to focus. He had to make sure she was safe, even though part of him longed to forget everything else and just hold her, kiss her again. Sampung minuto ang lumipas, at nasa kwarto na ng ospital si Rosa. Binigyan siya ng sedative at pinainom ng intravenous fluid. Nakatulog siya, ang magandang mukha ay nam

    Bukod pa rito, nasa loob sila ng sasakyan...She wanted to disappear, to crawl into a hole and never come out. The embarrassment was unbearable.Kung tama ang naaalala niya, siya ang unang humalik. Pagkatapos, niyakap siya nito at matagal siyang hinalikan. Then, as if responding to her recklessness, he had pulled her close, deepening the kiss in a way that made her heart race and her mind blank.The memory of his lips pressing against hers, the way his tongue teased hers... it all came flooding back in vivid detail."Ah!" she clutched her head in frustration, shaking it as if trying to banish the memory. But the movement only made her dizzy. She could feel the effects of the medication taking hold again, amplifying her discomfort."What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" he asked, stepping closer with genuine concern in his voice."Okay lang ako!" bahagyang hingal ni Rosa, sabay yuko ng ulo. "May amnesia ako. Hindi ko na maalala ang nangyari kanina, at hindi mo na kailangang ipaalala s

    Rosa froze, staring at the card in shock. Her father’s love and concern overwhelmed her. She bit her lip and whispered, "If my stepmother finds out, she’ll definitely cause trouble for you."Ngumiti nang bahagya si Jon, ngunit may determinasyon sa kanyang tono. "Pera ito na pinaghirapan ni Dad. May karapatan akong ibigay ito kahit kanino, at walang pwedeng manghimasok." Matapos ang kanyang sinabi, itinulak niya ang card sa kamay ni Rosa. "Tanggapin mo."She held the card, her emotions swirling. Her father didn’t say anything more, but the weight of his care and sacrifice was palpable. Picking up his briefcase, he gave her a small nod and quietly left.Rosa watched him go, her heart heavy with gratitude and guilt. Her father’s love was profound, unspoken yet unwavering, and it only strengthened her resolve to handle things on her own terms.She sat quietly in her room after her father left, the bank card still clutched in her hand. Her thoughts drifted back to the tangled history of he

    Ang grandeng ballroom ay kumikislap ng karangyaan, ang mga chandelier ay naglalabas ng malambot na liwanag sa mga bisita sa ibaba. Ang hangin ay puno ng tawanan at pag-uusap, ang kalansing ng mga baso, at ang malambing na tunog ng isang string quartet na tumutugtog sa isang sulok. Isang gabi na hindi malilimutan—isang gabi na nagmarka ng pagtatapos ng isang panahon at ang simula ng isang bagong kabanata para sa kumpanya.Gloria, dressed in a stunning gown of midnight blue, stood at the center of the ballroom, ang kanyang mahinahong tindig ay nagtataglay ng atensyon. Itinaas niya ang kanyang baso, at ang ingay sa kuwarto ay humina, bawat mata ay napatingin sa kanya. Isang mainit na ngiti ang dumaan sa kanyang mga labi habang inihahanda niyang magsalita."Maraming salamat sa inyong lahat sa pagdalo ngayong gabi," nagsimula siya, ang boses ay matatag at tiwala. "Ang gabing ito ay hindi lamang isang pagdiriwang ng ating mga tagumpay, kundi isang turning point para sa ating hinaharap."Nag

    Ang marangyang restawran ay mahinang naiilawan, the soft clinking of cutlery and hushed conversations adding to the atmosphere of exclusivity.Nakaupo sa mahabang mesa na may malinis na puting mantel at gitnang palamuti ng sariwang mga bulaklak sina Shan, Leah Minx, ang kanyang mga magulang, at sina Mirasol, ang mga magulang ni Shan. Mabigat ang hangin sa tensyon, bawat isa’y mulat sa kahalagahan ng pagtitipon.Shan sat at the head of the table, his usual calm demeanor replaced by a determined expression. Umubo siya nang bahagya, agad na nakuha ang atensyon ng lahat.“Tinawag ko ang pagtitipon na ito,” panimula ni Shan, his voice steady but firm, “to announce something important. After much thought, I’ve decided that I will not proceed with the arranged marriage.”The room erupted in protests. Leah’s mother gasped dramatically, clutching at her pearls, habang ang ama niya’y malakas na tumama ng kamay sa mesa. Ang mga magulang ni Shan ay galit na nakatingin sa kanya, ang kanilang mga e

    2 months laterNakaupo si Trojack sa kitchen counter ng kanyang mansion nang biglang nag-vibrate ang kanyang telepono. Lumabas ang pangalan ni Walter sa screen. Kinuha niya ito, alam na niya kung tungkol saan ang tawag.“Walter,” bati niya.“Nasa ospital na si Sheena Sir,” sabi ni Walter, walang paligoy-ligoy. “Psych ward, gaya ng inaasahan natin.”Malalim na bumuntong-hininga si Trojack, hinagod ang kanyang buhok gamit ang kamay. “Gaano kasama?”“Medyo malala,” amin ni Walter. “Hindi siya maayos, at kadalasan, wala sa tamang ulirat. The doctors say her obsession with you and Rosa is at the center of her breakdown. She’s been placed under strict care for now at mananatili siya roon ng walang tiyak na panahon.”Sandaling natahimik si Trojack, dama ang bigat ng mga nagawa ni Sheena at ang mga kahihinatnan nito. Sa kabila ng lahat, nakaramdam siya ng lungkot. Medyo matagal nang bahagi ng kanyang buhay si Sheena, even if it was in ways that were toxic and damaging.“Thanks for letting me

    The tension in the parking lot was suffocating, si Sheena ang nasa gitna ng lahat, mahigpit na hawak ang kanyang bag habang nakatayo sa harap nina Rosa at Trojack. Bigla, ang mga nagmamadaling yabag ay umalingawngaw sa paligid. Isang pigura ang lumitaw mula sa mga anino—isang babae, maputla ang mukha, may mga pasa, at bagama’t hindi matatag ang mga galaw, kitang-kita ang determinasyon.“F-flara?” bulalas ni Rosa.Tumango si Flara, ang mga mata niya’y balisang tumingin kay Sheena na nanigas sa pagkilala sa kanya. “Anong ginagawa mo rito?” singhal ni Sheena, ang boses ay punong-puno ng galit. “Dapat nakakulong ka! Hayop ka, iniwan kitang mamatay sa basement tapos babalik ako na wala ka na ron?!”“Nakatakas ako,” sagot ni Flara, nanginginig ang boses ngunit matatag. “At tapos na akong manahimik.”“Ano’ng ibig mong sabihin?” tanong ni Rosa, halatang naguguluhan at nababahala.“Sheena,” nagsimula si Flara, ang boses niya’y mas matatag na ngayon, “kapatid ko.

    Natigilan si Rosa, napahinto ang kanyang paghinga nang bumalik ang alaala ng gabing iyon. Ang kahihiyan, ang paglabag, ang sakit—isang sugat na hindi kailanman tuluyang gumaling. "T-tungkol doon? Ano? Paanong nadamay si Trojack rito?""Pinlano ko ang lahat," patuloy ni Sheena, ang kanyang boses ay puno ng lamig at pagkakalkula. "Alam ko kung ano ang mangyayari kapag pinapunta kita sa party na iyon. Alam ko kung sino ang nandoon, naghihintay. At hinayaan kong mangyari iyon, Rosa. Dahil kailangan kang mabali. Sobrang lakas mo, sobrang untouchable. Kailangan kitang gawing mahina."Nangilid ang luha sa mga mata ni Rosa, ang kanyang isip ay nahihirapang tanggapin ang pag-amin ni Sheena. "Ginawa mo... ginawa mo iyon sa akin? Hinayaan mong mangyari iyon?"Pinanlakihan siya ng balikat ni Sheena, walang bahid ng pagsisisi. "Hindi ito personal. Estratehiya ito. At nagtagumpay ako, hindi ba? Bumagsak ka. Naging eksakto ka sa gusto kong maging ikaw—mahina, nakakaawa, madaling manipulahin."Naiip

    Kakalabas lang ni Trojack mula sa mansyon ni Sheena, ang isipan niya ay puno ng pag-aalala. Ang pag-uusap nila ni Sheena bago siya umalis ay nag-iwan sa kanya ng pakiramdam ng pagkabalisa at hindi siguradong kalooban. Kumikilos si Sheena ng kakaiba—mabilis at magulo—at hindi niya maialis ang pakiramdam na may mali.Iniwan niya ang mansyon at nagtungo pabalik sa AD Pavilion. His phone buzzed in his pocket as he drove, at kinuha niya ito upang makita ang pangalan ni Detective Turner na naka-flash sa screen. Tumatagilid ang tiyan ni Trojack. Ito na ang tawag na inaasahan niya, pero hindi sa ganitong kalagayan.Agad niyang sinagot."Sir Trojack," narinig niyang sabi ng boses ni Detective Turner mula sa telepono, matalim at direkta. "Kailangan mong makinig ng mabuti."Hinigpitan ni Trojack ang hawak sa manibela. Ang isipan niya ay mabilis na tumakbo, puno ng mga tanong. "Nasa kustodiya na namin ang mga salarin," ipagpatuloy ni Detective Turner, "pero may isang bagay pa kaming kulang—ang s

    Walong taon si Andrea nang mapansin niya kung paanong si Jon, ang kanilang ama ay tila kumikinang sa pagmamalaki tuwing ipinapakita ni Rosa sa kanya ang mga bagay na kanyang ginawa. Mapa-simple mang guhit o disenyo ng damit na isinulat sa kalat na papel, si Jon ay ngumiti at itinataas si Rosa sa hangin at tinatawag siyang “my little artist.”Andrea would stand at the side, nakatingin na may hapdi sa kanyang dibdib, hawak ang sarili niyang proyekto sa paaralan—isang di-masyadong maganda, pilit na palayok ng luwad na ginawa niya sa klase ng sining. Hindi ito kasing-ganda ng gawa ni Rosa, at alam niya iyon. Laging pinapaalala ni Kieshna ito.“Makikita mo kung paano palaging pinupuri ng tatay mo si Rosa?” sabi ni Kieshna sa isang malumanay ngunit may lason na tinig habang yumuyuko siya sa tabi ni Andrea isang araw. “Kasi siya ang paborito niya. Hindi ka niya mahal tulad ng pagmamahal niya sa kanya. Alam mo ba kung bakit?”Iniling ni Andrea ang kanyang ulo, ang puso niyang bata ay naghah

    Alas-1:30 ng hapon na nang nakaupo si Andrea sa kanyang kama, kabadong nakahawak sa kanyang telepono. Ramdam niya sa kanyang loob na may mali sa plano ni Sheena, pero hindi niya mapigilan ang pakiramdam na kailangan niyang sundin ito—kahit papaano, upang maunawaan kung ano talaga ang binabalak ni Sheena. Dahan-dahan niyang binuksan ang kanyang messaging app at nag-type ng mensahe para kay Rosa.Andrea: Rosa, magkita tayo sa parking lot ng kumpanya bago mag-alas-3 ng hapon. It’s important.Nag-alinlangan ang kanyang daliri sa ibabaw ng send button bago ito pindutin, habang mabilis ang tibok ng kanyang puso. Pagkapadala ng mensahe, agad na sumagi ang pagsisisi sa kanyang dibdib.Ilang sandali pa, nag-vibrate ang kanyang telepono. May sagot na mula kay Rosa.Rosa: Tungkol saan ito? Bakit sa parking lot?Tinitigan ni Andrea ang screen, hindi alam kung paano magbibigay ng makatuwirang sagot. Her sister’s curiosity was valid—hindi karaniwan para kay Andrea na magpatawag nang biglaan, lal

    Ang mabigat na katahimikan sa mansiyon ni Sheena ay nilulunod lamang ng tunog ng kanyang takong na tumatama sa marmol na sahig. Ang kanyang isipan ay naglalakbay, paulit-ulit na inuulit ang imahe ni Trojack at Rosa mula noong gabi—lahat ng ilang pagkakataon na kung paano siya tinitingnan nito nang may matinding paghanga, at kung paano si Rosa ay tila likas na nakakaramdam ng ginhawa sa piling ni Trojack, isang bagay na alam ni Sheena na hindi niya kailanman magagaya. It felt like a dagger in her chest, twisting deeper with every passing thought.Bumababa siya sa basement, ang kanyang ligtas na lugar, ang tanging espasyo kung saan nararamdaman niyang kontrolado niya ang lahat. Ang mahinang ilaw ay nagkikislap nang malas habang dahan-dahan siyang bumababa. Ang bawat hakbang ay sumasalamin sa kanyang bumibigat na iniisip, her growing frustration.Ang tagpong sumalubong sa kanya pagdating niya sa ibaba ay nagpahinto sa kanya.The chair was overturned.
