Robby takes quite a long, unnerving moment just staring at my oblivious self. His silence speaks volumes, and it is getting my demons all riled up. “Speak to me, Robby! What does the world know about me?” I ask in apprehension, my breathing taking a higher pitch, matching the tone of my words.

He better slap whatever he has on my face as soon as now before I vent all this combo of emotions that is shaking me to the bone. Every single passing second is echoing with dread and worry about what all this is about.

I am a nobody. No one has ever asked about me since I dropped out of college and was thrown into this dungeon. All my friends blocked me from social media or something. They don't care to look for me, and I don't. I see no one on my wall. My social media accounts have nothing on my friends list, and my walls are filled with only my own paintings. The world has been mute, unaware, and unbothered about my existence. Why would anyone rekindle my existence just now? For what godforsa

  • SOUL TANGLE   THIS MAN, ADAM STONE DE'LEON

    Bent on shedding light on the kind of man that my family wants to marry me off to, Robby seems to have gone out of his way and gathered enough info about the De’Leon son just to open my eyes.He hands me his phone, which seems too expensive for a student like him. Anyway, I dive into the matter at hand and start scrolling through the screenshots that he has saved from Adam De’Leon’s various social media accounts.And guess what? It seems like I am living in a different world. An underground perhaps, where all this news could have not reached me.Talk of women eaters, and jerkwhores who can’t keep their tails in their pants, and Adam Stone De’Leon is the real beast! The legacy he has left so far stinks! Women are his life! He changes them more than he changes his boxers! Love? That is nowhere close to him. He is merely a sexual type! Pure sex! He does not fuck one woman twice and can’t stay a day without exercising his tool. No strings are attached. If you get attached, you deal with y

  • SOUL TANGLE   UNEXPECTED HELP POP

    So, what is this? Are we going to stare at each other the entire day like this? Is this what he wanted to say? “I am still waiting to hear what we have to talk about, Robby,” I say, breaking the silence and making him blink for the first time in a decade. “I have things to take care of, so kindly be quick about this,” I add.He shifts his posture and clears his throat before speaking, “I want to help you, Ayana. I can get you out of this mess.”He is back into this?He takes a step closer, and I take one back, throwing him a warning glance that stops him in his tracks. “I appreciate your concern, Robby, but I can fight my own battles. I will handle this. You don’t have to do anything,” I say boldly.He dips his hands in his pocket, towering a short distance before me. “I want to help. You need someone’s help to pull through this, Ayana.”You know, I look at this kid, and I fail to understand the man who is able to say all these things to me—this somehow of a man who has the guts to lo

  • SOUL TANGLE   CHECK YOUR EMMOTIONS

    I shake my head in disagreement with his words: “You are confused, and you..."“I can clear up the misunderstanding so that..."“There is nothing to clear up, Robby!” I squeal. It seems like my voice is too soft for him to understand that this discussion is heading nowhere. “You are my student, and that is that. Forget any other ideas that are developing in your head. I wouldn’t want us to hate each other because of this.”“But…”“Mommy? Uncle Robby?” We snap in the direction of Lyana. Damn! “Are you two fighting?” She asks as she peels the blanket off her.I start walking to the bed, and Robby, as the annoying man he has decided to be, strolls behind me. Actually, that was for a second before I saw him bypassing me with his long strides as he opened his arms for my daughter, who was all smiles for him. “How is the most beautiful princess doing this morning?” Robby asks as they embrace in a hug that does not sit well with me. His confusion is the reason for this feeling. How can he sa

  • SOUL TANGLE   CONFRONTING THE FAMILY

    “Miss, you are not allowed in here, and you know it,” one fucking guard tells me at the doorway. I knew this would happen. They have been communicating with their eyes ever since they saw me leave my cage. I actually didn’t think I would come this far without them stopping me.“I know,” I respond without causing any unnecessary fuss. They are not my problems anyway, and they are just doing their job. “But I need to speak with the owners of this home,” I add.“Do they know you are coming?” One kind guy asks.I shake my head. “But you can inform them I am outside,” I respond.I am certain they will drag their rotten asses here to come and see what brought me here. They might think that I have surrendered.“Give me a sec, miss,” the kind guard responds, and he turns the doorknob and walks inside while the rest are left to keep me under watch.None of the guards bother me, and the wait does not take long either. In a flash, the guard walks back outside, keeping the door ajar as he speaks,

  • SOUL TANGLE   ECHOES OF BROKEN BONDS

    “Have you lost all your manners? Have you gone nuts?” Mr. De’Mario finally lifts his face. It is filled with anger, shame, and disapproval of my actions. His face is flushing red from ear to ear, denouncing how riled he is.And who cares? “Yes!” I retort, and I see his wife shift in her posture, their eyes scorching my face with disbelief. “You all have made me lose it all! I am nuts! I am insane! I am wild! I am so mad right now that I want to kill you all!” I howl, the maids stopping on their here and there chores to come and witness what is happening here.Silence befalls the humongous house for a long decade, my words cutting through their entire beings. All the eyes are fixed on me, unblinking. And I remain bold, unmoved, and unthreatened. This ends here today! The fate of my future with these people will be decided today and right here!“How dare you talk to your father..."“I don’t,” I cut this woman off, shifting my gaze and cruising through them, making sure that my message s

  • SOUL TANGLE   THE DARES

    The old man stops a step before me, his eyes bleeding immense hurt and wrath at me. They are an inferno of a combo of rage and hurt. His blood must be burning his veins. “Or else, I will give you more than you are looking for! I will disgrace you so much and expose all your cruelties to the world.”His face darkens, and the fire in his eyes becomes more ardent. “You wouldn’t dare!” His cold, hoarse, broken words echo with a dreadful warning as our eyes hold each other.“You don't want to dare me, Mr. De’Mario?” I challenge.He half shakes his head, his eyes growing more vicious on me. He is looking at me as if he is battling to analyze me. He cannot believe that I am the one speaking; he is gauging whether I am demon-possessed and whether it is the demon’s spirit in me speaking. And I am giving him all the time that he needs to finally get it in his old brain that I am no longer the Ayana who could be intimidated. I know my rights. I am fucking aware of what I am worth. I owe them no

  • SOUL TANGLE   FAMILY NEGOTIATIONS

    ADAM STONE DE’LEON’S POVI smirk at this vulnerable family. “So, what you are clearly saying is that you cannot control your own daughter? If you can’t control a hopeless, desperate, and defenseless person who happens to be your daughter, then I don’t get how you were able to have control of everything and even make it to this circle of the rich. No offense, though!”“Adam!” The father yells in disapproval.I shrug my shoulders and raise my hands. “Just my thoughts, but I am sorry,” I respond.I don’t even get why we have to dwell on this, honestly. It is already enough that they are forcing me into this. It is disgusting enough that they want to buddle the blackship of this family with my sweet life. A lady with a child has no life, no hope, and nothing at all. She is completely useless. Flat! Plain! Well, except for her child, who does not cover much of her emptiness. I wonder if she even remembers how to open her legs to a man. I am not considering going to that extreme with her, b

    I stormed in the direction of the cage, my every move echoing with rage and insults. I can’t believe I am being made to do this. To carry myself to go beg a bitch who is worth nothing. This is so fucking not Adam Stone for anyone. Bitches come crawling to me without much effort. All it takes is for them to hear the name Adam Stone, or simply sniff my scent, or just catch a glimpse of my irresistible self. Hot babes with class. Refined babes.And today, this one that has absolutely nothing, this empty shandow, happens to be the one to make me do this? This is so disgusting. It is an unforgivable insult!As I get to the door of this stinking cage, I can't help but feel a riling stir of conflicting emotions—mostly, hate. I already hate this woman. Who does she think she is to reduce me to this? Her pride sucks the liquid out of my balls, making them so hard, and I hate her so much! I have always thought people with something are the ones entitled to these kinds of behaviors. I didn’t kno

    “Hey! “ Lian spoke with her signature smile, of course. “Why don’t we first stop by calling it a sin? Let us just say that it was casual sex done for the wrong reasons and at the wrong place. But all in all, we were adults, and we both proved a point that day. Of course, it hurts, just a little, because you did not offer exactly what I wanted. But if anything, Adam, I want you to know that I wouldn’t waste a chance with you even now if I had it. I am not ashamed to be on the list of, you know, all of those you have been with.” She then looked at me. “I am sorry to say this too, but at least I got to taste the famous Adam Stone De’Leon!” She smiles, and I think I am beginning to love her smile now. Eyes roll! “You are lucky, Ayana. You both are lucky to have each other. And this is where I wanted to be—to have you look at me the way you are looking at her, with so much love and adoration. Your eyes speak submission every minute they brush her. Even a fool can tell you love her so much.

  • SOUL TANGLE   THE ISSUE OF FORGIVENESS

    “What, son?” His father asks.“The merger that you seek with the De’Marios will happen.” Excuse me, what? I snap at him, and I was just to give him a piece of my mind, but a gentle squeaaze of my hand sealed my lips, opting to trust him, hoping that he knows that these bunch of heartless fools do not deserve to benefit even just one bit from me. “But not on the grounds of my marriage to Ayana!”Fantastic! Bingo! God, I so love this man!Eyes flickered on each other for a long moment of screaming silence, until my father had to break the lull. Desperate old man! “What are you talking about, son? You know you are really growing desperate by the day here. And now, we have damages to pay to the Adrianos for what Grace did. Things are weighing down on us, Adam! So, what do you suggest? Anything that will help at all. We will abide!”So, Adriano, are you asking for compensation for the damage that Grace’s actions caused? Well, they seem to be the experts in not letting any opportunity slide

  • SOUL TANGLE   THE PEACE MAKER

    After a long, unnerving moment, the door opens again and freezes on our spot as our house is swamped with people.Yeah!People!And I am not talking about two or three people here, no! This weird woman is the weirdest of all because, how did she pull all these?And yeah, before I forget, I am not talking about just any other people. Not some ordinary people. Naah!We are talking of the De’Leons, Adam’s father and mother; the De’Marios, my parents; and this skinny witch who used to be my sister. And these other people, whom I presume are Lina’s parents,.Forget everyone. Lina and her parents have a score to settle with Adam, and so do the De'Leons, who have the right to be in their son’s house. But these black souls, these people that God gave me as a family? How dare they have the guts to set their feet here, huh? The nerve! The temerity! I mean, after all they have done to me? And this little brat of a witch, after insulting Adam like he was the greatest sinner the world has ever had

  • SOUL TANGLE   HE AIN'T A RAPIST

    “You got my information from my parents? How? When? Why?” I ask.She steadies herself. “It wasn’t intentional. It just so happened that you both were the reason why some dark secret that was kept in the dark for years was leaked out. Our families, the Adrianos, the De’Leons, and the De’Marios had to meet because that was a breach of contract!” She speaks.I get everything about the dark secret and the urgency for the two families to meet, and I can also understand that tabgle. But breach of contract? What was all about that?“Breach…” I throw Adam a glare to ask for clarity, but he seems clueless and lost like I am, so I decide to ease both our curiosities. “Breach of contract? What contract?”“Yes,” she says, throwing Adam a glance, and she speaks, looking at him as if the words were only meant for him. Wasn’t I the one who asked the damn question here? “Our families, the De’Leon’s and the Adriano’s, after settling for compensation and agreeing to bury all that had happened, signed a

    “Hey! I am harmless, you know!” The lady, Lina, speaks, and she even has the bravery to smile at me while my hand freely retreats from the mission of shaking her hand.She had no choice but to drop hers in letdown.She is harmless.The woman that supposedly Adam raped years ago is smiling right in my face, and I should not be worried. She is harmless. Harmless, huh?What is this?Why did she come here?“I know who you are,” I murmur, hoping that we don’t have a problem here, but how stupid of me to think, no, to actually hope for that? Why would he come here if there wasn’t fire in the mountain? “Wha…what are you doing here?” I ask.As Adam composes himself and approaches, his trembling hand clasping my waist reveals the struggle within him. It's not merely a physical tremor, but a manifestation of the turmoil in his soul. I sense the weight of his past bearing down on him, an unwelcome guest crashing into the delicate balance he's been striving to maintain.In his touch, I feel the e

  • SOUL TANGLE   MORNING GUEST

    The chirping of the early morning birds calls me out of my peaceful sleep. I peel my eyes, and they almost impair with a striking, sharp pain as they collide with the savage rays of the morning sun. I shut them for a minute, but when I don’t feel those strong arms around me, I peel them open in a flash, turning around. Empty space! That explains why the widow's curtains are open, permeating the savage sunrays. He woke up before me. That has never been him. I always wake up enveloped in his arms every single day of the six months that we have been together. What changed? Is it because of that question from last night? This marriage issue? After he asked me that, and after I failed to come up with a straight answer, I just laid my head on his chest and snuggled into his warm embrace. He understood the memo, which meant I was not ready for that kind of conversation. And he respected it, just like he has always done. He pulled me closer and tighter, and we drifted off to sleep. Did I

    “Goodnight, mommy,” Angel says after I tuck her to bed, or rather, we tuck her to bed. Me and Adam. She turns to him and says disrespectfully, "Goodnight, Uncle Adam. You two are the best." Some“Alright. Goodnight princess. Have sweet dreams, and your mommy and I love you so very much,” Adam says, kissing her on the forehead before standing up as the sweet little girl closes her eyes.My sweet little angel. My gift is straight from heaven. What can I give God to thank him for bringing her into my life? She is my pride! My joy.“Shall we?” Adam asks, holding my hand, and I don’t waste time. I follow him behind, leaving Lyana’s room as we stroll across to his master's room. Or just simply, our room. This has become our room, just as his house has become my house. We are better off being called a family. A married couple. Because this is what all this depicts. I forgot about my house a long time ago. All that is left is for me to pick up my belongings and settle here for good. Yes, here

    Ayana's anger flared, fueled by the woman's bitter accusations. "What I meant was," she retorted, her voice trembling with fury, "I did not know that Robert had a wife. And no, I have never entertained this fool ever since he came back from nowhere, and I never will. For me, he is nothing but some fresh vomit that I can never take back, no matter what."Her words cut through the tension like a knife, carrying a raw honesty that left no room for doubt. Ayana's resolve was unwavering as she stood her ground, refusing to let the woman's scornful words diminish her self-worth."And as you said," Ayana continued, her voice rising with conviction, "I am with my man. A man worth being called a man, and not some trash!"With each word, Ayana reclaimed her power, asserting her worth and dignity in the face of adversity. She refused to be defined by the actions of others, standing tall in her truth and righteousness.Robert's once confident demeanor faltered as Ayana's words pierced through his

    All eyes turned towards the unexpected newcomer, a tired and heavily pregnant woman standing before them. Ayana's heart skipped a beat as she took in the sight—the woman's weary expression, the telltale swell of her abdomen—indicating she was carrying a child.As confusion clouded Ayana's mind, she searched for answers in the woman's gaze. There was a sense of familiarity—a haunting resemblance to Robert—that sent a chill down Ayana's spine. Could this woman be Robert's wife?What puzzled her was why Robert had suddenly reappeared after six years, pursuing her and their daughter, especially if he had a wife—a pregnant wife, no less.The revelation left Ayana grappling with a myriad of emotions—bewilderment, frustration, and a gnawing sense of unease. She couldn't comprehend why Robert would resurface after all this time, stirring up chaos and turmoil in their lives.The realization hit Ayana like a ton of bricks, her mind reeling at the implications.
