Tumayo ako sa pagkakahiga ko. I was sleepless, until now Wala talaga akong tulog. I was all plastered, I was shocked with what happened.Naligo na Lang ako. As soon as I finished taking a bath I called a maid.“I want coffee.” Saad ko sa maid at lumabas kaagad ito para kumuha ng kape. Ilang minuto pa ay bumalik ito na may dalang kape and a bowl caramel cube.“Lock the door after you go out.” I ordered at tumango s'ya. She went out my room and like what I said, she locked it. Nagmumuni Muni ako Ng ilang minuto, nilulunod Ang sarili sa kakaisip sa mga problemang nangyari. All types of nightmare is hunting me, ano pa ba? Ano pa ba Ang kailangan ko pang maranasan? “Life sucks. Everything sucks.” I frowned and I took a sip of my coffee. Napakagulo na Ng buhay ko, ano pa bang gulo Ang mangyayari sa susunod?Kulang pa ba lahat Ng ito? I'm already suffering, is this the karma for killing those people? Haysss. Kahit naman... Kahit Wala kang ginawang masama, nasa gulong Ng buhay parin nakasal
I straightened to my room. I removed my clothes and my necklace and took a bath. I wore a skinny jeans and a sweater also, I wore my necklace, i touched the pendant.“Mom, Dad, even my enemy gave me strength to fight.” I said and i just found myself silly smiling.I recalled how Zero comforted me kanina. It's. A bit embarrassing, a total embarrassment for me like arghhhh I just cried on that man's shoulder. Baka... Baka tinatawanan ako ni Zero nang patalikod. Tsk. Nakakahiya talaga pero dahil dun kumalma.Someone suddenly knocked the door. I hope it's not Dwayne, Ang kulit Ng lalaking iyon. I walked towards the door and opened it.“Dad!” I shouted as I see him. I hugged him.“How's work?” I asked and we went inside my room. Umupo kami sa kama. “It's fine... Actually I'm here to ask for help.” Saad nya at ngumiti sa akin.“Help?” I asked.“I need you to do something.” Saad nya at tumayo. He walked out and i followed him. May ipapagawa s'ya? Ano naman iyon? We went out the mansion at
I stood up in the front of our classroom. I hope wala si Zero. I take a look and deeply sighed. Wala pa s'ya, I should go inside.“What are you doing?” Biglang Saad Ng kung sino na ikinagulat ko, napaiktad ako sa gulat. Boses iyon ni Zero. Hinay Hinay akong lumingon.I cleared my throat and avoided his gaze on me. Dali dali akong pumasok. Dagdag kahihiyan, tsk.Nagmadali akong umupo at pumasok na din si Zero, nilapitan n'ya ako.“Naks. Nauna kang mag follow satin ah, are we friends now?” Pabiro nitong Saad at napakunot noo.“Over my dead body.” I shouted on his face and he chuckled. He went to his seat. Haysss! Lumingon sakin si Alliah.“Pag ibig na ba ito?” Pabiro nitong Saad and i rolled my eyes. She's crazy.“Stop it, Liah!” pagsaway ko dito at tinawanan nya lang ako. Pumasok na si Professor Reyes. He's our Science teacher. Umayos Ako Ng pagkakaupo. Nagsimula na Ang discussion and i felt bored. I rested my face on my hands and closed my eyes. Ilang minuto pa ay biglang tinawag ako
Dumeretso ako sa sala at umupo. “Manang, water please.” I said at kumuha Ito. Sumunod sakin si Dwayne.“Esa!” pagtawag n'ya sa akin. He seems mad or something.“Ano?” I asked in a high tune.“I hope... I hope it won't happen again.” Saad niya at kunot noo ko s'yang tiningnan.“Ang alin?” I asked.“You shouldn't go near that man, he's dangerous.” Saad nya at nagbugtong hininga ako.“Dangerous? I guess.... I think he's not that dangerous.” I answered. Totoo naman eh, if he have the intention to hurt me, he had a chance back then pero Wala s'yang ginawa. “I just don't like it... I don't like to see that you're close with that man.” Saad nya at tinaasan ko sya ng kilay.“Bakit? Nagseselos ka ba?” I asked in a joking sound and he scoffed.“Hindi!” Sigaw nito and i looked at him confusedly.“Kailangan mo bang Sumigaw?” Saad ko and I rolled my eyes.“Dwayne... If he's dangerous or if he will try to assail me, I can handle myself, I can protect myself.” Saad ko and he sat down beside me.“A
I stepped inside our classroom. Zero was reading a book. I headed to him. I hit his disk to get his attention and he looked at me with confused looks.“Tsk. I removed everything...” Saad nya at nagbugtong hininga ako. I'm hoping he's telling the truth I can barely trust him. Masamang tingin Ang binigay ko sa kanya at ngumiti ito. “Don't worry, babe!” He said and stood up. Bigla nyang hinalikan ang mukha ko.sa tingin ko ay nakita ito ng mga kaklase namin dahil nagsisigaw sila.“Ano ba!” Sigaw ko at tinulak s'ya, he just smirked. I went to my seat. “Ano yun, ha?” Pang aasar ni Alliah. “Wala!” Saad ko. I almost forgot, I need to pass my report to Prof. Reyes. “Tapos mo na report mo?” Tanong ni Alliah at tumango ako. The science teacher went inside. All of us sat down properly.“Alliah, distribute.” Utos nya Kay Alliah at ibinigay Ang report cards. I don't know if I will have good grades for the first semester but actually I don't need it. “Esabella, your report.” Saad nito and I
Chapter 1: The Beginning “No! Mom!” I shouted while crying. Nakatingin ako sa ina kong tinutukan ng baril. I cants see her face thoroughly, her image is vague and blurry. I can't see her! “Not my daughter please!” my mother whined. Nakaluhod siya sa harap ng lalaking pumatay sa ama ko. Nakatambad sa harap ko ngayon Ang walang buhay at duguan na katawan ng magulang ko. I saw it with my own two eyes how my family died. Resentment and anger swallowed me, I survived, only me survive when a man, Leonardo Woodward, my boss, my foster father saved me. Niligtas nya ako. I woke up from my heavy sleep because of the hard knockings. Arghh another nightmare! “Esabella! Esabella!” Someone shouted. I opened the door and saw Captain Dwayne Gregor. Ano Kailangan nya sa gantong oras‽ “What?” Saad ko habang tinitignan sya ng matamlay. Inaantok pa ako. “Mr. Leo want to talk
Chapter 2: UniversityI went to school, Rosemont College, like what my father want. I drove my red Mercedes Benz that he gave me at my eighteenth birthday. Nung dumating na ako, bumaling Ang tingin Ng mga Tao sakin, especially boys. I walked along the campus, searching for my room.“Hey hotty!” a boy shouted with a side smile on his irritating face. Tiningnan ko sya ng walang emosyon pagkatapos ay naglakad papalayo “We got a new chick bro.” Saad ng Isang kasama nito. They went closer to me.“Hey girl, what you got?” The taller one said in a joking sound. Hinawakan nya balikat ko. Tiningnan ko s'ya Ng masama.“What I got? Ahmm I got some knife in my pocket, you want?” I said fiercely at tumawa Lang sila. Akala ba nya nagbibiro ako‽ Tsk. This is one of the reason why I hate university.“Ang maldita naman nito, what's your name?” Nakangting Saad nito. This he slide his hand to my hair down to my hips. I grabbed his hands
Chapter 3: The QueenI was silently writing in my table when that girl approached me again.“Hey!” Sigaw n'ya sa akin at intensionally na binunggo ang disk ko. I looked at her.“WW princess? What's the use of your nickname eh para ka lang daga tulad Ng Isa dyan.” Saad n'ya at nagbugtong hininga Ako.“Tell me, you're insecure of me, right? Why would you act like that?” I nagged and shook my head. Nagsitayoan Ang Iba at tiningnan kami na para bang Isa kaming pelikula sa telebisyon.“Even who you are, you're still no match to me.” she said fiercely. I didn't enter university to play ranks with this stupid girl. Tumayo ako.“Katulad ka lang ni Alliah, Isang dagang umaaligid sa yaman Ng Iba.” Saad nito at tumalikod. She approached Alliah. Bigla n'ya itong sinapak na dahilan ng pag init Ng dugo ko.“Doon ka na sa low-key schools, doon naman nababagay Ang Mahirap na katulad mo.” Bulong Niya Kay Alliah and I threw

I sat down on the sofa at ipinikit ko Ang mga Mata ko. I pretend and lie to myself na Wala akong dapat problemahin but just a second or two, Isa Isang nagp-pop up sa utak ko lahat lahat.Si Zero, Tungkol sa pagiging tagapagmana, at sino si Aika? Sino Ang Hindi ko kilala? It feels so hectic.“Hoy!” Panggugulat ni Dwayne but I'm not startled. Punong puno Ang utak ko. I opened my eyes and deeply sighed.“What? May nangyari ba? May problema ba?” tanong ni Dwayne at umupo sa Tabi ko. “Nothing!” i briefly answered at kunot noo nya akong tiningnan.“What?” I asked.“Yung lalaking yun na naman ba? Stop thinking of him, nakakaselos. pft.” Saad nya, the last part were said in a joking sound. “Masyado s'yang panget para problemahin ko.” Pabiro kong Saad.“If you have a problem. If you need something, just tell me, some circumstances can't be solve all by yourself, minsan kailangan mo din ng tulong.” Dwayne hissed and I sighed. Sabay kaming lumaki ni Dwayne. We were trained together, we learn
Lagi kong nakasalubong sa daan si Zero and what's worst is arghh tinatawaanan at dinedeadma nya lang ako. I think he lose some screws. Saltik."What are you thinking nowadays?" Biglang tanong ni Dad na dahilan ng pag gising ko sa malalim na pag iisip."W-Wala Dad." Pagsisinungaling ko dito. He took a sip on his coffee. We're eating breakfast right now."You'll come with me to the company me." Saad n'ya na nakatingin sa laptop n'ya. Hindi ako umimik at bigla syang tumingin sakin at ngumiti."Hhm?" Syang tugon ko lang at tumawa s'ya."Bakit hindi ka nagrereklamo ngayon?" Pabiro nitong tanong and I showed him my poker face."Wala ako sa mood para makipagbangayan sayo, Dad." I answered and he chuckled. In a moment his tune changed. From being dad to a boss."Fix yourself! We need to haste to the company." He said and wipe his mouth with a tissue. Tumayo s'ya."Fifteen minutes." Saad n'ya at tumango ako. I stood up at pumunta sa kwarto ko. I changed. I wore a black dress, I prefer black s
Recalling what happened the other day. The day Zero and I first incounter. I won't dent it he's freaking hot with those wet hair and his six-packs abs. May matang nakakalunod, matangos na ilong at.... At matatamis na labi..."Ano ba iniisip mo, Esa!" Bulong ko sa sarili ko. Nakatayo ako sa hallway with Brian."May problema ka?" Brian asked and I shook my head.“Have you seen Zero?” I straightly asked him and he smirked.“Wait wait wait, do you like him?” he asked with a little smile on his face. I rolled my eyes.“Shut up! Just tell me, tell me where is he?” I asked irritatingly at nagkibit balikat sya.“Music Room‽” Patanong nyang sagot. I hastily went to the music room and yes, Zero is here. I slowly went inside but I know he noticed me.He was playing the piano. I watched him for a minute, how graceful his hands are. He's so charming.“Do you need something, Bella?” he suddenly asked and
Nagising ako sa subrang sakit Ng ulo ko. My head is like going to crack sa subrang sakit."Arghhh! Arayyyyy!"Napahawak ako sa ulo ko. I think I drunk too much last night. Naalala ko Ang mga kagaguhang nagawa ko kagabi. Why did I drunk too much‽ "Bakit mo hinalikan ang Isang babae, Esa! Tanga, Gago mo!" Sigaw ko sa sarili ko habang sinasapak Ang sariling ulo gamit Ang unan. I kissed Alliah last night. This is embarrassing.Someone suddenly knocked. The door opened and Dwayne came in, he brought something with him."Dwayne.." pagtawag ko sa kanya at ngumiti s'ya."Hangover soup!" Saad n'ya at nilapad ang soup sa maliit na lamesa sa Tabi Ng kama ko. He helped me up."Do you need medicine?" He asked while making me seat down properly.-"Bakit ka Kasi naglasing?" Tanong ni Dwayne at iniabot saakin ang sopas. Hindi ko s'ya sinagot and I ate, medyo Mainit pa ito, Ang sarap."Esa?" He clamours my na
