CHLOE Yawning from waking up while stretching, I look for Trace, but he’s not in the room. I checked the time, and it was already nine in the morning. I went to the bathroom he wasn't there either. I decided to go downstairs since wala si Trace sa kwarto. Obviously nasa baba na siya. I stood up because I couldn’t stay sleeping at that hour. I went to the bathroom and finished bathing in less than five minutes. I am not dirty naman dahil sa isang araw ay three to four times naman akong naliligo dahil sa trip ni Trace. Kagabi lang ay nagbabad pa kami sa bathtub while doing our deeds. Palabas na sana ako ng banyo nang maalala ko iyong... iyong picture na itinago ko before kami pumunta ng Palawan. I checked it kung saan ko iniwan but…why it wasn’t there anymore? So Trace took it of course. Kaming dalawa lang naman ang gumagamit ng kwarto at kung wala sa pinagtaguan ko ay si Trace lang ang possible na kumuha. I sighed. I will ask Trace later about that photo... I have the right to

TRACE Nilingon ko si Chloe na tahimik lang. We are going to Manila. Dumating na ang parents ni Chloe and they are staying at Dam Es Luxury, courtesy of my sister. Hindi ako sigurado kung nasa Manila na sina papa at Louisianna pero sana nando’n na para matapos na ang plano na engagement party na gaganapin. Daming kaartehan ni Louisianna, feeling stepmother ang puta! Muli kong sinulyapan si Chloe. Ilang minuto na lang ay lalapag na kami sa helipad ng tower ko sa Makati. Tahimik lang siya at kanina ko pa hindi maintindihan ang tinatakbo ng isip. And then I heard her sigh. “Why?” “Nothing. I am just an-towk…” Chloe reasoned out. “You are not yawning, you are sighing. What’s that for?” “I’m just bored travelling through this chopper. It seems Manila is so far from Agri— Agrian-thro-pos.” “Pinagloloko mo ko, Chloe. Kung yate ang gamit natin ay bukas pa tayo darating, mas matagal ang byahe.” “I don’t know.'' She shrugged her shoulders and pouted her lips. “Probably I am pa-gowd…” s

CHLOE “What is this talk leading to? I do all that illegally. Now, are you sure you wanna marry a man like me?” Trace asked me, and I noticed the doubt in his voice. I stared at him, thinking how I had loved him ever since. Aside from Oliver, I had never liked anyone before, but what I felt about the latter was pure admiration for his kindness and humility. Iba si Trace, I love him even though I know what life he has. I love him even though he always cusses, I love him even though I know he could quickly kill anyone, and I love him kahit alam ko na babaero pa siya. I love him even though I know how 'red flag' he is. To make it short, I love him no matter what... at walang makakapagbago no'n. Yeah... Although I know his way of living was more of illegal transactions rather than legal ones, I still believe he won’t harm kids and women. He is not like those members of 'aswangs' he was telling me about, nor the 'tikbalangs' and 'katres.' Trace is only mine now, and I will do ever

TRACE As soon as nasa loob na kami ng hotel ay umakyat na kami patungo sa rooftop garden dahil doon gaganapin ang engagement party. We were in the elevator at malamig pa rin ang kamay ni Chloe.There is something wrong in her, masyado siyang natatakot sa parents niya or mas tamang sabihin na takot siya sa mommy niya dahil iyon ang lagi niyang nababanggit, ang mommy niya. I remember some nights that she were crying in her sleep, calling her mom… I thought she missed her mother, pero ngayon ay mukhang duda ako na iba na ang rason. What if hindi pala dahil sa nami-miss niya ang mommy niya kaya umiiyak siya? What if natatakot siya sa mommy niya? But why? Dahil sa akin? Parang kalokohan naman… I held her hand tightly na malamig pa rin, at ginantihan niya rin ng pagpisil ang kamay ko. I decided to kiss her. To calm her. To remove her nervousness. I kissed Chloe deeply and I didn’t stop hanggang sa bumukas na ang elevator, at mukha ng nakakainis na si Louisianna ang nakita namin bago

CHLOE After namin lumabas ng elevator ni Trace at sabihin ni Miss Louisianna na nakausap niya si mommy, at excited na makita ako, ay nawala bigla ang ngiti ko. Why do I feel bad on that information? We were on one side of the area when Elliot and Malori approached us. Then Keyller and Kit. We were talking when they seemed amused at me at first and then later found me funny to laugh at. “What was that, Kit?” medyo nainis na ako sa ginagawa nila especially ni Kit na parang may nakakatawa sa sinabi ko. Or probably he is laughing because of my accent or Keyller’s accent. But no. He coughed after I explain the meaning of ‘tikbalang’ to Keyller. I explained it well, confidently, and yet he found me funny. “Nothing, Miss Chloe. Um, just a correction for the word. Tikbalang is a half-human and half-horse in Filipino mythical or folk sto—” “No! Of course not!” I cut him off. What is he saying? Half-horse and half-human? That’s ridiculous, and it is called centaurs. Duh! I am good at lite

TRACE “And I think I don’t need an introduction to you, Trace Dimagiba…” I look at Chloe's mother. Nang-uuri ang mga tingin niya sa akin. Hindi ko siya binati at hindi ko man lang tinanguan to recognize what she said. She was looking at me at nakipagtitigan lang ako. So this is Chloe's mother... She looks regal for her age. But she doesn’t look like her sister Mela na mukhang mabait. Mukha itong kontrabida sa buhay. I know that since she walks and talks like Louisianna. I know their kind… social climbers, freeloaders, and those who will do everything for power and money. But yeah, we are all the same... iba-ibang uri at diskarte pero pare-pareho nga naman kaming ganid. I glanced at Chloe and remembered what Elliot told me na hindi namin siya katulad... and yes, Chloe is genuinely different from us. She is too good to be true, and yet she chooses me. Ibinalik ko ang tingin sa mommy niya. Akala ko ay maayos ang ugali ng mga magulang niya kaya lumaki siyang family-oriented, but, look

CHLOE "I am so glad to see you happy, Chloe. Can't believe my sweet Chloe is now with the man she chooses." I smiled warmly at that. Daddy supports me, and it really matters. Mommy is obviously not happy for me, but as long as daddy makes me feel he understands my decision, it would be fine. "Thank you, daddy." I smiled and looked at him in his wheelchair. I really want him to walk me to the aisle, but obviously, he can't. He held my hand and smiled at me lovingly. His love for me was shown in his smile, and he was like telling me... na masaya siya para sa akin. I sighed, then pushed myself to make a cheeky smile. "And you need to be the one who will walk me to the aisle, so you better start exercising your legs to walk again," I joked, but I was really determined that he would still be the one who would give me to Trace on my wedding day. "I will..." Daddy said, and I felt delighted. He then looks at Trace again, and I feel awkward because he keeps glancing at Trace. It was

TRACEEverything that happened at the engagement party after I announced that no one should think of ruining my relationship with Chloe, made the night go well. Hindi ako sigurado kung naniniwala ba silang totohanin ko ang banta, but Alguien and his father know me well. Subukan lang nila kung matapang talaga sila. Hindi na ako natutuwa sa harapang pabida ni Alguien na pambabara kay Louisianna at sa mommy ni Chloe. Oo… inaamin kong natawa ako, slight, pero hindi ko nagustuhang siya pa ang naunang nambara sa mga babaeng alam kong may planong hindi maganda. Parang pinapakita lang sa akin ni Alguien na mas kaya niyang makigulo para kay Chloe. And that triggered me to announce that warning of mine. Well, what I said was true for I can wage war to anyone I like… Mga putangina nila, sino ba sila? Kung tatay ko nga kaya kong balewalian ay sila pa ba na hindi ko sila kadugo? I am only good, kung mayroon man akong kabutihan na tinatago, para sa iilan lang na alam kong dapat pahalagahan. Like

TRACE We locate Raiden through Logan. Si Logan ang tumawag kay Dev para hanapin si Gavi. Dev tracked the GPS of his sister kaya narito kami ngayon sa isang hotel, na katapat lang ng hotel namin dito sa Baguio. Lumapit sa amin ang manager ng hotel, inabot ang isang key card saka kami iniwan sa harap ng kuwarto. I used it to open the door. We entered the room at napasinghap si Chloe sa nakita. “Wake up!” gising ko kay Raid. Tulog na tulog. Sa lahat ng anak namin ni Chloe ay itong si Raid ang bihira namin masermunan. Hindi dahil sa wala siyang nagawang mali, pero hindi namin kayang pagsabihan siya ng sobra dahil sa takot namin na baka mawala na naman siya. He used to hide when he was younger, paano pa ngayon? Patuloy kong tinapik ang mukha ni Raid. Napabuga ako ng hangin nang magising na siya. Bahagyang lumaki ang mga mata ni Raid sa gulat nang nakita ang mommy niya na nasa kabilang gilid ng kama at ginigising si Gavi. “Put your clothes on!” utos ko kay Raid. Dinampot ko ang m

CHLOE Busy ang lahat. Today is Gunner’s wedding. He is twenty-seven and will marry Reign Pellegrini, ang anak ni Rex kay Julianna. I sighed as time flew so fast for all of us. Ikakasal na si Gunner and who knows kung sino ang susunod sa mga kapatid niya. Cadence is still engrossed with his art. Narinig ko kay Saint na girlfriend ni Cade ang muse niya. Sa mga nakikita kong paintings niya lately ay kadalasan ang babae na nga ang main objective ng mga gawa niya. And she’s pretty. Killian is living his life to its full simplicity. Masaya si Kill sa simpleng buhay na pinili sa isla kasama ang mga malalaking pusa. He has no girlfriend lately. The last girl he was into was the time he went to trouble kaya siya isinama sa Fielvia ni Alguien para magbakasyon muna doon. Darth is the most famous among my children now being the rockstar he is. Kung hindi lang sina Anghel at Axel ang kasama niya lagi sa mga tours niya ay baka hindi ako pumayag sa buhay na pinasok niya. Yes, kasama niya ang dala

TRACE “What is he doing?” kunot-noong tanong ko. Mas para sa sarili ko iyon kaysa sa dalawang pinsan ko na nanonood lang din sa ginagawa ni Prime thru monitor. I just got here like ten minutes ago. Hindi lang ako pumasok pa sa loob ng bahay dahil mas gusto kong makita muna ang ginagawa ni Prime. At gusto kong makita rin muna kung ano ang itsura ng anak kong matagal na nawala sa amin. “Kanina pa ‘yan gan’yan…” Atlas said. “Paikot-ikot. Obvious na alam niyang may mga CCTV cam pero hindi naman sinisira.” “He is obviously showing us that he knows we are watching yet he doesn't give a damn at all…” ani naman ni Isidro. “Nanghahamon ‘yan.” “Send men inside…” I uttered. “Katorse na lang ang natitirang tao sa labas. Ilan ang papapasukin natin?” tanong ni Atlas sa akin. “Papasukin lahat. Kinaya niya ang walo sabi niyo. Let him face fourteen this time.” “Akala ko ba gusto mong makumpleto na ang mga anak mo?” natawang tanong ni Atlas. “Bakit parang gusto mong mapahamak iyang isa?” “B

TRACE Bumiyahe ako agad pagkatapos namin mag-usap sa telepono ni Chloe. Umiiyak siya at sinasabing alam na kung nasaan si Prime. Kahit hindi pa tapos ang usapan para sa shipment namin sa Ecuador ay iniwan ko na sina Lev at Logan. Bahala na sila umayos at magpulido ng plano. Kailangan ako ni Chloe at sa sinabi niya ay nabuhayan din ako ng pag-asa na mahahanap na namin si Prime. At sana nga mahanap na namin talaga… “Trace…” Lumapit si Chloe sa akin at yumakap nang mahigpit pagpasok ko pa lang ng kuwarto namin. She was crying. Birthday ng asawa ko bukas at naghanda ako ng sorpresa para sa kaniya. Kinasabwat ko pa nga sina Cade, Gunn at Kill. Magiging masaya si Chloe sana bukas pero sa nangyayari ngayon ay alam kong walang party na dapat maganap kung hindi ko rin lang maiuuwi si Prime. Paano naman kasi kami magpa-party kung si Prime ang nasa isip naming lahat? Dahil sa mga sinabi ni France na nakakausap niya ang Kuya Raid niya ay waring nahinto na naman ang ikot ng mundo ng aming pam

CHLOEI looked at my reflection in the mirror. I smiled. I am turning forty-one after this day, and yet hindi pa rin naman halata. I still look younger than my age. Sabi nga ng Big 3 ay para lang akong nasa early thirties. Na ngayon puro binata na talaga sila ay mukha na lang nila akong ate. Time flies fast… the Big 3 have graduated college. Cade is the one following Trace's love of art, but he is more on painting than architectural art. Gunn is always with his cars and into international races often. Kill, the youngest among the three, is the one who chooses to stay with the beasts in Alma Livre. Mas gusto ni Killian kasama ang mga big cats kaysa manirahan sa syudad. Umaalis lang ng isla si Killian kapag may race si Gunner at sinumpong siyang panoorin o kaya may art exhibit si Cadence at may gusto siyang bilhin na gawa ng kapatid. The Big 3 are now twenty-three. Same age as mine when I got married to their father and they became my son. Same age when I gave birth to Prime. My Prime

TRACE“Shut up, old man! I knew it! Walang magandang gagawin ang pugad na ‘yon na kasing kulot ng utak ang buhok! Look at what he’s done to his wife!”That was Maddison. The ‘always’ nagging wife of Indigo. Mukhang hindi pa yata nasabihan sa totoong nangyari kaya ako na naman ang obvious na sinisisi sa nangyari kay Chloe, na napaanak kagabi dahil sa stress sa nangyaring pagkidnap kay Saint. “Bakit? Ano na naman ba ang kasalanan ko?” And that was Indigo Magtanggol talking to his judgmental wife. “Member ako ng Foedus, we have our brotherhood and Trace leads us. At hayaan mo na ang problema nilang mag-asawa.”“But look at Chloe! She—”“Chloe is definitely safe and sound. And stop acting that I will do the same thing towards you. I won’t let you worry…”“Don’t ever think about that, Indi! I swear, iiwanan kita!”I knocked the already opened door to let them know I heard them and stopped them from talking nonsense. “Trace!” bati sa akin ni Indigo. Nilapitan ko ito at tinanggap ang pakik

CHLOEI checked the time in my wrist watch. Ang sabi ni Trace ay parating na sila ng mga bata dahil sa resto ng Sacrebleu ni Matthias kami magdi-dinner, pero two hours na mula nang nakausap ko siya ay wala pa rin sila. Kanina pa rin ako pabalik-balik kakalakad dahil medyo sumasakit pa ang tiyan ko. This is my last month of being pregnant at two weeks na lang ay due date ko na. Excited kaming lahat sa baby girl namin ni Trace na magiging last child na rin namin. Saint just turned seven last month. Darth and Xenon are now ten. And the Big 3 are now eighteen in legal ages and all in their freshmen in college. Nasa HCU dormitory sila inilagay ni Trace para matuto raw sa buhay at masanay na walang mga yaya at bodyguards. At kung akala ni Trace ay malulungkot ang tatlo na wala na sa poder namin ay nagkamali siya. Those three were all excited after their father left them in the dormitory. Ilang beses na nga rin silang tumawag sa akin para sabihin na huwag papuntahin si Trace pa sa HCU at a

TRACE Three days later… I parked my car in front of Willow’s mansion. Sinalubong naman ako agad ng butler na si Alfredo at magalang na bumati. “Buenos días, Señor Trace.” “Buenos días… Saan sina Chloe?” hanap ko agad sa mag-iina ko. “Wala po si Señora Chloe, señor. May pinuntahan sila ni Señora Willow.” “Saan?” Ang malas naman ng punta ko yata. Huwag lang sana pumunta ng Colombia o Italy ang mga iyon. “Hindi ko po alam at walang pasabi.” Magalang na ngumiti ito at bahagyang yumukod pa. “Ang mga anak ninyo, nasa loob po sila. Nasa recreation room kasama nina Señorito Isaia at Señorito Isauro.” Mga anak ni Willow ang binanggit ni Alfredo. Ibig sabihin ay hindi nangibang-bansa sina Chloe at Willow kasi naiwan lang ang mga bata. Tumango-tango ako. “Sige,” sabi ko na lang at tinalikuran na ito para puntahan ang mga bata. Bumalik ako nang may naalala na ibilin kay Alfredo bago dumiretso na ulit sa mga bata. Pagbukas ko ng pinto ng recreation room ay napatingin silang lahat sa akin.

TRACE ‘The number you have dialed is either unattended or out of coverage a—’ “Tangina!” galit kong sabi at ibinalibag na ang phone na hawak ko. Langya! Hanggang ngayon ay hindi sinasagot ni Chloe ang mga tawag ko. “Kalma lang… Hindi naman lalaban ‘yan.” Inis kong nilingon ang nagsalita. Si Ice na kararating at nasa likod si Lash na nakangisi. “Paano ako kakalma?” tanong ko. “Isang linggo na akong ayaw kausapin. Kung sino man ang putanginang may gawa ng kalokohan na pagdala sa mga bata na ‘yon kay Chloe ay tatamaan talaga sa akin!” “But they are your sons, right?” Ice yawned. Parang sinabi na rin na nauumay na siya sa topic. Sabagay at ulit-ulit na lang din nga ang sinasabi ko tungkol sa inis ko sa nangyari. Paano ba naman? Sino bang matutuwa na bibintangan ka sa bagay na hindi mo ginawa? Wala na akong problema kung anak ko ang dalawa, eksplanasyon na lang ang kailangan kung paano ko sila naging mga anak. Ang hindi ko maunawaan ay ang galit ni Chloe dahil sa pakikipag-orgy ko
