ITINULOS sa pagkakatayo si Thalia nang mapagbuksan ang lalaking natatanging laman ng puso't isipan niya sa halos buong araw. At kahit yata i-untog pa niya ang sariling ulo sa pinakamatigas na pader sa buong sanlibutan ay hindi pa rin ito mawala–wala sa kanyang kamalayan. Tila namamallik–matang kinurap–kurap niya ang mga mata sa pag–aakalang pinaglalaruan lamang siya ng kanyang paningin. However, she was absolutely sure that Michael was standing there in front of her and not just in her imagination, but what was he doing there? And how did he find her place? She didn't tell anyone, as far as she remembered. “Michael…” she called his name. Hindi niya hinihiwalay ang mga mata sa pagkakatitig sa lalaking hindi inaasahang maging panauhin sa mga oras na ‘yon. Nararamdaman niya ang
HEwas in excruciating pain after he talked to Thalia. He could still feelthe pain in his chest as if it was crushed intomillion pieces. Pagkatapos siya nitong ipagtabuyan na para bang walang masasayang namagitan sa kanilang dalawa ng dalaga. He still couldn’t believethat Thalia could do such a thing to him, but then he knew that he deserved her anger. Pero ang papaniwalain siya nito na hindi siya nito mahal ay hindi niya matanggap. Higit pa roon ang itanggi nitong siya ang ama ng anghel na dinadala nito sa sinapupunan.For the love of God, he could feel she was lying to him. He was adamant that he was the biological father of her child. It was his sperm that developed the angel in her womb.Michael knew that he was the only man in her life. However, why she has to lie to him? Hindi siya makakapayag na gano’n na lang matatapos ang lahat sa kanilang dalawa! Hindi niya hahayaang na ilayo ni
ISANG LINGGO na ang nakalipas buhat nang puntahan niya si Thalia sa inuupahan nitong apartment. Ilang araw na rin siyang tila patay na buhay, mesirable at wala sa tamang katinuan dahil sa pangungulila sa dalaga. He missed her so much pero wala siyang lakas ng loob upang muling harapin ito. Gayon pa man ay araw-araw siyang nakabantay sa labas ng apartment ni Thalia. Umuuwi lamang siya para maligo at magpalit ng damit. Kung minsan pa'y doon na rin siya inaabutan ng sikat ng araw. He despised sleeping alone in the mansion because he missed her so much. He was perpetually tormented by their wild lovemaking. Sapagkat kahit saang sulok ng silid siya tumingin ay ang masayahing mukha ni Thalia ang kanyang nakikita. Sa tuwina ang magandang imahe nito ang palaging naglalaro sa balintataw niya. May palagay na rin siya na malapit na rin siyang mabaliw sa kakaisip dito. Pinagkakasya na lamang niya ang sarili sa pagtan
MICHAELwas not in the mood to have fun with his craziest, coolest, and casanovas buddies. He couldn't acknowledge the fact that the woman he adored had abandoned him. His chest was indeed crushed in pain.He couldn't face the truth that Thalia was no longer interested in seeing him.Walang kasing sakit at pait ang tinatamasa ngayon ng dibdib niya na kahit pa yata maubos niya ang lahat ng alak sa loob ng bar na kinaroroonan nila ng kanyang mga kaibigan ay hindi pa rin mababawasan ang iniindang kirot sa kailaliman ng puso niya. Gusto niyang magwala upang ilabas ang sakit at sama ng loob niya subalit hindi niya gustong madamay at masira ang gabi ng mga kaibigan lalo pa’t matagal din niyang hindi nakasama ang mga ito.He clenched his teeth and fisted his hands in rage as he drunk the remaining beer on his bottle. Hindi siya makakapayag na maagaw sa kanya ni Petter ang babaeng mahal niya. He'll kill that mor
NAKAKALUNOD ang mga halik na ipinapalasap ni Michael sa kanya. He was kissing her like there would be no tomorrow. As if he couldn't get enough of her, and she reciprocatedin the same ferocity. She misses him somuch, as she was longing for him so terribly. His kisses and touches were haunting her at all times, and she yearned for it to happen again.At ngayon nga ay magkalapat nang muli ang kanilang mga labi. Mapusok, malalim, mariin at marubrob ang bawat paggalaw ng mga labi ni Leon sa mga labi niya. Tila ba sabik na sabik ito sa kanya. Siya man ay labis–labis din ang pananabik niya kay Michael kung kaya’t tinutugon niya sa mas mainit na paraan ang bawat paggalugad ng mga labi nito sa bibig niya.Michael pressed her body against his as he continued to kiss her ferociously, his hands simultaneously massaging and caressing her. She could feel his hardness prodding her even harder, sending millions of volts through her
SHE COULD FEEL her heart swell with happiness as she found out that Michael loved her, too. He made love with her several times throughout the night, and she didn't attempt to refuse his demands. After all, she hasn't seen him in three weeks and misses him deeply.Nag–aagaw na rin ang liwanag at dilim nang tantanan siya ni Michael at pagpahingain. Wala na yata siyang pasisidlan ng kasiyahan nadarama niya ngayong kapiling niya ang lalaking mahal na mahal siya.Sweet smiled escaped from the corner of her lips as she recalled how Michael confessed his true feelings for her. Killig na kilig siya kagabi pero hindi niya iyon ipinahalata sa lalaki. Isa pa’y malay ba niyang baka gino–good time lamang siya nito para maka–score sa kanya. Well, hindi lamangisang beses itong nakapuntos kundi maraming–maraming beses. Bahagya siyang kumilos upang humarap dito nang hindi niya ito nagigising. Batid naman kasi niya n
MICHAEL only left her side when it was necessary. He stayed with her and helped her with all she needed. She ordered all of her favorite dishes, desserts, and other delicacies that she was craving. He looked after her as if she were the most valuable gem in the world that needed to be protected. He canceled all of his meetings and conference and didn't go to his office just to be with her.Hinahanatid lamang ng sekretarya ni Michael ang mga kalatas at dokumento na kailangan nitong pirmahan. Kabilang na ang mga admit nito na ipinakuha nito kay Dagz. Hindi ito kailanman umalis sa bahay at sa tabi niya sa kadahilanang nag–aalala ito sa kanya na baka raw may mangyaring hindi maganda sa kanya na wala ito sa tabi niya. Mabuti na iyong nakakasiguro. He constantly asked her to come back to his mansion with him, where he could ensure that she was safe and not alone. Besides, their h
KAMPANTE si Thalia sapagkat buhat nang magkaayos sila ni Michael mahigit dalawang linggo na ang nakakaraan ay wala na siyang natatanggap na anumang pagtatangka sa buhay niya at sa kanyang kakambal. Marahil ay nagsawa na rin kung sinoman ang nagpapadala ng mga death threat na iyon sa kanya dati. Pumayag na rin siyang sumama kay Michael at bumalik sa mansion ng lalaki. Isa pa'y ito rin naman ang pinakaaasam–asam niyang mangyari. Ang makasama at mahalin din siya ng lalaking lubos na minamahal ng kanyang puso. Tuwang–tuwa rin si Aling Juanita lupon ng mga kasambahay nang makita siyang muli. However, Michael insisted to hired private bodyguards from Enrique’s agency to watched over Thalia whenever he was out of the mansion or in the important conference and meetings. Hindi naman niya iyon tinutulan dahil para rin naman iyon sa seguridad niya. There are also bodyguards
EVEN THOUGH it was half-past eleven o'clock in the evening, Thalia was still awake. She couldn't manage to sleep. She got out of bed, grabbed her robe from the couch, and put it on as she moved towards the glass sliding door. She went out on the balcony. She then closed her eyes and inhaled the cool breeze of the wind that caressed her body. Maya–maya pa’y marahan siyang humakbang palapit sa may rehas ng balkonahe pagkatapos dumungaw mula sa ibaba. Nakita niya na magtiyagang nagmamatiyag ang mga guwardiya buhat doon. She felt so sorry for them because they had to stay up late to ensure that nothing bad happened to her as a consequence of the threats she had received previously. Iyon kasi ang utos ni Michael. And to compensate for the guilt she has inside ay pino–provide niya ang mga pangangailangan ng mga ito. Isa pa’y day shift naman kinabukasan para makapagpahinga nam
MICHAEL held her hands once agains as they both walked towards their parents. Napapantastikuhan man ay lumapit pa rin siya sa mga magulang at yumakap sa mga ito. Gano’n din ang ginawa ni Michael sa mga magulang nito. “Napakaganda mo ngayong gabi, anak,” saad ng nanay niya na hinagod siya ng tingin. “Salamat ho, Nay.” “Napakasaya namin ng nanay mo para sa’yo, anak.” Nakangiting turan naman ng itay niya na inakbayan ang butihing asawa. “Salamat ho, Itay,” muli ay yumakap siya sa ama. Nang pakawalan siya nito ay si Michael naman ang yumakap sa Inay at Itay niya. Siya naman ay gano’n rin ang ginawa sa mga magulang ni Michael. “Oh, hija, I’m so happy to see you,” anang butihing ginang. “I know it will suit you well,” dagdag pa nito na ang tinutukoy ay ang suot niyang kuwentas. “Welcome to the family, hija,” ang ama ni Michael.” “We are so happy that you have learnt to love our son, hija. Sana ay hindi ka magsawang mahalin ang anak namin.” “Mahal na mahal ko po si
AS SOON AS he spotted her standing and staring at him, Michael swiftly put the burgundy glass down. He then walked toward her and flashed her a heartfelt smile, as he kept his eyes locked on hers. “You looked very lovely tonight, my love.” He grabbed her waist and pulled her body against his as he gently kissed her on her neck. “And you smell so good too,” he sniffed and kissed her neck many times as if he wanted to bury himself into her neck. “And so you are, you looked so suave and...” she posts for a second and then gazed at him from up and down. “You appeared to be quite tasty tonight.” She continued as she deliberately licked his earlobe, which caused him to chuckle softly. “I’m always delectable, aren’t I?” “Well, that's for me to find out,” “My...my... don’t start, Bonita,” he was now staring at her lips while his arms were still around her waist. Thalia smiled devilishly, “But you started it,” “Did I?” He raised his one brow but his gaze locked on her. Halos m
FOUR WEEKS LATER. She was preoccupied with arranging the red roses in the vase that Michael had sent earlier today. She couldn't help but smile brilliantly. Walang pasidlan ang kaligayahang nadarama niya sa araw–araw na kapiling niya ang kasintahan. Natutulog siyang kayakap si Michael at nagigising siya sa umaga dahil sa mainit nitong mga halik. Wala itong ginawa maliban sa paligayahin at pasayahin siya. Kahit abala ito sa trabaho ay naglalaan pa rin ng oras si Michael para sa kanilang dalawa. Wala na yata siyang mahihiling pa dahil subra–subra pa ang tinatamasa niya ngayon. Naniniwala rin siya na hindi na muling mauulit ang nangyari sa kanila ni Vanessa. Batid niyang hindi ‘yon hahayaan ng nobyo niya. Alam din naman ni Thalia na siya lang ang nag–iisang babae sa buhay ni Michael. Nakasisiguro siya sa bagay na iyon! On the other hand, he does not want her to leave the mansion without her bodyguards, whether she likes it or not. Unless she was with him, of course. As for Krist
PINAGALA NIYA ang mga mata sa kabuuan ng silid. The room was spacious enough for one patient and did not appear to be a hospital room in the least. It has its own living space on the right side of the room, and on the left side, it has a set of tables with different kinds of flowers and fruits of baskets in the middle of it. There was also a small kitchenette next to the dining area. And colossal television hung against the wall. And the bed in which she was sleeping was really comfy.She had never been confined to any kind of luxurious hospital room in her entire existence, and she had no idea that such a facility existed. She could still remember the first and the last time she got hospitalized when she was at a young age, but she was most likely in a wardroom in a public hospital.And she was also damn so sure that the room cost a lot of money. Kung sabagay ubod nga pala ng yaman ang lalaking mapapangasawa niya. Subalit magpakagano’n pa man ay nahihirapa
IT WAS excruciatingly painful for him to accept the truth that Thalia was no longer alive. It was hurting him from the deepest part of his chest. This couldn’t be happening to him. Thalia was not dead. She couldn’t be gone just like that. He didn't want to believe it, and he didn't want to accept it. Oh, for god’s sake! He wasn't going to be able to take it. No! He would not concede the fact that she had died. It's not possible!Hindi siya maaaring iwan ni Thalia. Hindi puwedeng mawala si Thalia at ng anak niya. Hindi maaaring mawala sa buhay niya ang nag–iisa at natatanging babaeng iniibig ng niya ng buong puso. Hindi puwedeng mawala ang mag–ina niya. Hindi siya makakapayag. Hindi!“Bonita… please don’t leave me, baby. Please don’t die on me. I need you, mi amor, I can’t leave without you by my side, mahal ko. Please I’m begging you, don’t go,” sa unang pagkakataon ay humagulhol siya sa iya
KUMALAT na ang dilim sa buong kapaligiran. It was an excellent opportunity for them to strike and rescue Thalia and Vanessa from the criminals. Never again would he allow someone else to harm them both. That was something Michael would make certain about. He would not hesitate to slay anyone who would dare to stop him. Buhat sa madilim at masukal na bahagi ng kasukalan ay maingat at patingkayad na lumapit si Michael mula sa likuran ng armadong lalaki. Walang kahirap–hirap niya itong pinatumba gamit ang kaliksihan ng katawan at ng sariling lakas. Naging madali lang para sa kanya na patumbahin ang lima pang mga tauhan ni Victor nang hindi gumagamit ng armas. Hanggat maaari ay hindi niya gustong makalikha ng anumang ingay na makakatawag pansin sa lahat ng mga tauhan ng talipandas na lalaki. Besides, he was enjoying himself slaying these bastards using his martial art skills. Matagal na panahon din naman niyang hindi nagagamit ang kaalaman niyang ito.Papasok na sana
THE GOVERNMENT entrusted the case of the most wanted criminal to the agency owned by Enrique. Because of its credentials, experience, and expertise in handling tough cases such as Victor Pangilinan’s. Knowing that the bastard was behind the abduction of Vanessa and that Kristina Montalban was part of it, Michael was outraged beyond belief. He would make sure to put the asshole in the right place. Son of a bitch!Michael didn't seem to be able to wait any longer. He was so enraged as his face turned into crimson red, he couldn't keep his composure any longer. Not anymore, and certainly not for another fucking minute! He tightened his teeth and clenched his fists in rage. With the wrath storming inside his chest, Michael could probably be capable of killing them all with his bare hands.When they get back from visiting Samantha from the hospital. He lied to Thalia that he had an important thing to sort out in the office. But the truth was he had a mee
“BITAWAN MO AKO!”Malakas na hiyaw niya sa malaking lalaking hawak–hawak ang braso niya. Halos kaladkarin na rin siya ng mga tauhan ni Kristina papasok sa isang silid. Walang pakialam ang mga ito kahit babae siyao kungnasasaktanman siya. Kung sabagay ano nga ba ang dapat niyang asahan mula sa mga halang ang sikmurang katulad ng mga ito?“Thalia?”Natigil siya sa pagwawala nang maulingan ang boses ni Vanessa. She felt a wave of guilt wash over her as she saw her sister inside the room. Both of her hands and feet were tied up against the chair as her eyes were blindfolded. Hindi rin nakaligtas sa paningin niya ang napunit na bahagi ng pang–itaas nitong damit.Oh, God! Nanlumo siya at natuptop niya ang sariling bibignang makita ang kalagayan ni Vanessa. Anong ginawa nila sa kapatid niya? Hindi niya napigilan ang kusang pagma
ABOT–ABOT ang kaba sa dibdib niya habang lulan ng sasakyan. Sari–saring emosyon ang naglalaro sa diwa niya ng mga sandaling iyon. Batid niyang pagpapatiwakal ang gagawin niyang ito. Pero nungkang magbabago ang isip niya. Kung ito lang ang paraan para maisalba ang buhay ng kapatid niya ay walang pag–iimbot na gagawin niya at hindi na mag–iiba ang isip niya. Mahal na mahal niya ang kapatid at hindi maaatim ng kunsensiya niya kung may mangyayaring masama rito. Kasalanan din naman niya. Ilang beses siyang binalaan ng taong nasa likod nito pero hindi siya nakinig. Hindi siya nadala sa halip ay binaliwala niya ang mga threats sa kanya dahil inuna pa niya ang sariling kaligayahan. And now her identical twin sister is facing the consequences. Damn her! There was no one to blame but herself. It was all her fault! Paulit-ulit niyang senisermunan ang sarili sa loob ng sasakyan.
