(Sena POV)
"It was traffic earlier. I wish our customers are late." the doctor remarked.
I nodded playfully at her although my mind was imagining how I should borrow money from Joshua again. Text him like he did to me earlier?Maybe?
As we neared the Herald Residence, which happened to be sitting just behind Dra. Evenarte’s little Clinic. I noticed the crowd in black tuxedos. They looked like businessmen, or maybe agents in an inflation protest. Or maybe a JS prom was to be held in the Convention Hall.
"What’s the occasion?" Dra. Evenarte mumbled the same question I have in mind when she saw them. I just shrug my shoulder. No idea, also.
"Temporarily no entry for everyone." Several marshals barricaded the sidewalk by the front of Herald Residential Building.
Seriously? Don’t you tell me some royalty owned the sidewalk too?
Before we could move, the doctor and I were caught in the sudden wave of media and press representatives. We became victims of pushing and elbows until we drifted to a less occupied corner. But not even my pissed-off boss complained.
Media is powerful in the Philippines. Dra. Evenarte knew too well that the media can create a biased footage of her complaining about it, spread it online, and drag her reputation downwards. We just stayed standing, low-key and curious, as we watched the crowd double.
One journalist suddenly started a live broadcast shoot. We were in his backdrop so I took the opportunity to go cute in my first TV appearance and photobomb his newscast.
Can’t blame me folks, I lost my ID!
I lifted my ID cord and pointed a finger at the missing ID case. I did a sign that in case found, should please be returned to me. Desperate times called for desperate measures. I needed it. I needed that pass: No permit + No exam = No Graduation Day. My brother will kill me for that.
Okay girl, you just advertised your problem nationwide.
I just hoped that whoever found it didn’t make fun of my ID picture. Because you know what the ugliest government ID that ever existed? A Voter’s ID.
Comelec didn’t even bother to hire a photographer who had the guts to tell people they look like shits before their picture were taken or at least tell us to fix this or that because we don’t look great on camera, the web camera.
The crowd stirred noisily when the black expensive cars arrived. Hmm, the prom list not completed yet?
Bodyguards in black got off the cars and helped contain the frenzied people and media. They didn’t care getting hurt or hurting anyone. It still didn’t make sense to me why those people were acting like that?
Until I was surprised to see the President of the Philippines by the entrance. Was he the reason? He’s just a human. Why were they going nuts about seeing him?
A limo pulled in and everyone seemed to be awaiting who might be inside. A celebrity? There’s a celebrity?! Who it was then?
I tiptoed to get a better view until I was unknowingly pressing on Dra. Evenarte’ s shoulder for support.
A foreigner, tall and robust, walked out of the vehicle. I didn’t see his face because his bodyguards formed a four-lined barrier behind him. But whoever that man was, the Philippines surely overreacted at his presence.
Did the people think that that guy would be throwing money?
"Ooh, sorry." I gave Dra. Evenarte an apologetic smile when I realized where my hand was. Please don’t get angry at me. Peace. Hehe. She’s often a bit sensitive. "I just got carried away."
Our attention was suddenly drawn back to the residential building when we heard a faint thud and the gasps that followed. Although it wasn’t my fault, I swallowed guiltily as I looked at the man on the floor. He didn’t move at all. Not dead. But because of that epic fail slipping incident. Who would’ve thought that the special visitor would slip like that? Ahahaha. Good for him. LOL.
He didn’t look mortified but his face screamed murder. I knew he wasn’t used to getting embarrassed.
Very wrong, dear visitor. Someone must’ve been pissed off by your showing off so he decided to give you the limelight of shame. Filipinos are cunning. They’re prideful so don’t make it a big deal.
Nobody moved. Even the President was too surprised to have seen what happened. He immediately approached the poor guy as the men in black helped their boss up.
Everybody in the media got back in their senses and shot their own photos of the important event. Lights flashed and drowned me until I was reminded of my fear of lightning. I was suddenly anxious.
A trauma?
Cold sweat beaded at my back and apparently, the ice cream I ate earlier didn’t help.
I wanted to slap those people two cheeks at a time. They were making a commotion out of something that’s not so important. They should be concerned of nature and not of a single human being.
"When are we leaving this place, Sena?" the doctor asked impatiently.
How should I know? I shrug again my shoulder in respond.
My eyes were already ballooning like a tarsier as I gasped for air. I felt like I was running out of breath. And in the most unexpected time, I saw my ID. One of the guest’s bodyguards was waving it in the air.
Did the ‘special visitor’ slip because of my ID?
Oh sh*t! With my name and picture on it, I felt like dying. Oh, the fuc*king shit! Did I just make a future trending topic online?
I bit my nails as I thought of what I should do.
Our school’s ID cord was neon green so I obviously recognized it. I badly needed that thing but it was impossible to demand getting it back, scot-free, without paying great first for putting the visitor’s name to shame.
"Didn’t they know that they’re ruining other people’s business by this showy welcome for a person I don’t even recognize." the doctor complained. On point. But oh God, just who’s that person? I already wanted to piss on my pants.
Until we both find way to left the commotion. I sigh in fear. What if? Haist. Nevermind, the president could do that about something. He was the father of this nation. I am one of his daugther. Ahahaha. But i need though my ID back. My goddammit permit.
Another strike of bad luck, as we saw Jayzel. He smiled at us.
Geez, he didn’t know he’d get reprimanded by the doctor. Dra. Evenarte was so pissed off at the moment.
Jayzel, if only you let me in, I would’ve had done my job in the clinic already. Good luck to your poor soul. I smiled at him.
I was his karma and my karma were my ID! Annoying, ain’t it? Anything in the world can be a person's karma.
"You," Dra. Evenarte turned at him coldly. "You already knew that Sena’s an employee here but why didn’t you let her in the clinic right away? Do you want me to tell the management about this? Your agency?"
Jayzel bowed his head down in response. That’s what you get!
Then I made a funny face at him. He was obviously picking on me every day! Now what? Gonna make fun of me again? Don't you dare!
When the doctor turned away from us, I gave him another tongue out.
Enough Sena. Karma might judge you again and you’d be defenseless once more.
“Bro, I'm haughtier than you.” I patted him on the back. Shit. I couldn’t help myself from picking on him in return.
The doctor had just opened her Little Dentist Clinic, the flat screen television and light bulbs automatically turning on. I put my ‘favorite’ old sling bag on my des. Favorite in the sense that it was the only bag I had and I didn’t really have a choice.
My eyes were immediately drawn to the television when I heard a Flash Report. I breathed deeply. Oh my gosh, Sena! You'd be in the news now! You're famous, my friend!
My knees weakened as the report went about the little accident the Multi-Billionaire of the Philippines had. Papa God! Save me!
But fortunately, the news didn’t include whose ID it belonged to. Damn, I wanted to go home and sulk all day.
"Good for him." Dra.Evenarte murmured.
Yes, Doc it would be fine if that ID didn’t belong to me! I should’ve just left it in my drawer. Lips bitting then. Argh!

(Sena POV)I was working as a part-time cashier and assistant in the clinic. And because her office was just a block away from the Herald Residential, a lot of the media were still within our view. They were just as chaotic as we had left them.Was the guest Prince William? Prince Henry? Harry? Why me? Will they look for me? Su-sure? Shouldn&rsq
(Sena POV)I heard the door chime again and thought that our customers were rather late and few. I went to the reception to meet the new client. "Miss Sena Sontoria.” The smile on my lips disappeared when I saw who called me. There were eight men in tuxedo waiting just beside the door. Why are their faces bloody? Wait. They knew my name?!
(Sena POV)When they opened the door for me, I heard a wailing. It was a man begging for his life as he got beaten up and until he was thrown into a china vase. Never did I imagine I’d see something like that out of the movies and television series. What's happening? A thud? Kicks? Wait…’
(Sena POV)"Let us be alone,” he ordered his men without lifting his gaze from me. They scrambled off like bubbles but my brother suddenly knelt in front of the demon."Boss...she's my sister. Let me punish her myself.”
(George POV)It was a marvel how the woman escaped death from the hands of the merciless man. The rumor about Master Sean being a killer was still unproven but that kindness wasn’t quite in his persona either. He’s a silent guy that was otherwise skillful at scaring people; young or old, it didn’t matter. And too unpredictable.
(Sena POV)My eyelids suddenly flung open. I didn’t have a nightmare. I just woke up. But immediately I tried to go back to sleep. Ah, how comfortable it is to sleep in an air-conditioned room. I always felt good about myself whenever I wake up refreshed from a rather exhausted body before sleeping. I'm so cute. But hurtful. Yes
(George POV)I have no idea if the woman would still be alive after I leave the room. She looked like she didn’t care though. Like the Master, she seemed prideful. But difference was, Master Sean was a fully matured arrogant man. The female, on the other hand, was more childish. Like a spoiled brat. As if she even has a chance at survival. She never faltered to talk back to him. Did she know who she’s talking to?
( Sena POV's )The man sat on the sofa and took his wineglass back. He grinned at me when he heard my words. “I’d be so delighted to kill you,” he said.“Geez, I’ve heard you say that since yesterday.”
(Sena POV)“Hey, Sean! Come back here! Don't tire me out. It's too early in the morning for me, and I'm on my period! "My ghad. What kind of trick you're doing on me Sean to make me pissed like this. Also, he was aware that I have my menstruation today but what he wants is to make me chase him and be bullied by him. You're too cruel Sean!It's a good thing Bloody Mary isn't causing me too much pain, but I can feel my lower body weakening."Sean! I'm ti— Aww." Which causes me to writhe in pain.Oh no... What is this? My abdomen is suddenly throbbing with pain! Dysmenorrhea!Oh, bloody Mary, don't make me regret thinking I wouldn't feel the pain of menstruation.I put one hand in my stomach. And this is what they called dysmenorrhea. Severe and frequent menstrual cramps and pain during your period.Awww... This is excruciating.I close my eyes and feel the pain's presence. My dea
(Luis POV)Sean's men stood in front of the trash protester who had been sent here by my father. According to my calculations, Levi must pay for nearly fifty people faking the protest today. Tsk. And I believe there are a lot of them if Sean doesn't do anything to reduce their number. My stepbrother knows how to play the dirty game of the Madrid Elder. He used to do it for almost a handful of years.When they became aware of me. I knew as soon as I heard their voices that they recognized me for who I truly was. I turned away from them, and Sean's men were alarmed when those people, particularly the media, approached me.It is my father's trash, and I have a responsibility to take care of it as his son. This is the responsibility of a good son and a man of initiative.I dialed my secretary's number."Hiro.""Sir Luis," he asserts.“The Madrid E
(Luis POV)Hmmm. I'm intrigued. How many times have they exchanged saliva?Isn't that disgusting? Or am I just cynical?Sena persisted in her belief that she should triumph over Sean. If not, she is a loser and she wouldn't let it happen."It continues to affect me as a productive citizen of our country.As you may be aware, there is a scarcity of creative artists in our country. Specifically, my qualifications as a hard worker and a kind person. Do you disagree with me, Sean?"That made me smile because it's true.We can be defined by two things: our patience when we have nothing and our attitude when we have everything.Sena remains the same, even though Sean gives her everything, and nothing has changed in her; I am proud of her.Sean, on the other hand, responds with a smirk."Kind and hardworking... where are those, Sena?" he
(Luis POV)“How dare you, Luis. She’s, my wife. Never, ever dare or else— Aw!”Hahaha. Sena hit Sean on his shoulder, which makes me smile. It's as if I'm watching a comedy-drama where I want them to stay happy and not even a single storm come into their lives. They are an absolutely wonderful couple.How dare they plan to devastate and harm this good couple."You seriously underestimate me!And you do italways on a daily basis! ""Ouch, Sena,""You didn't value me as your wife. Oh yeah, you have everything, and I am nothing in you! You treat me like a hen, and after I lay an egg, I have to give up my time to hatch your eggs! You're far too cruel."Wait, why is my brain suddenly turning green? Is Sena alluding to Sean's egg? Ahahaha.Which I can't help but make a laugh at my Li
(Luis POV)"Stop it, Sean. You don't have to worry about my safety if that's only your concern. How could I help you if I only stay in the comfort zone you've given me? How do I become productive?"She gave us a forceful laugh."My hardworking neurons want to return to be productive again.""Your words are also meaningless," Sean added.I'm sure he has a lot of bullets in his arsenal for making Sena irritated and annoyed. I'm just smiling at them, the way they're conversing. They are not your typical sweet couple, especially my stepbrother."Your words are causing me pain, Sean!"My cousin is about to get up, but Sean has managed to keep her seat."However, if you improve a little, Sena, you will most likely be welcome in my company."Sena is a woman who should not get involved in business matters, especially when it comes to making a decision in a
(Luis POV)Cecile's expression reveals the question she wanted to ask: why should I be the one to be grateful that it should her boss to do that?But in the end, she nodded at me when the couple approached us.Sena's face...I'm not sure what they were talking about that made Sena pout like a duckI give them a friendly smile.I took the cup of coffee I had been busy making while talking to Cecile. I took a sip and watched how Sean have a silly conversation with his wife.Sena took notice of me."Tell me boss Luis, did you two just happen to meet in the park? How dare Sean not even wake me up. I wished I have come with him. I want to breathe fresh air too.""You can't come with me; I'd rather not wake you up if all I get is a beating from an angry wild duck mom who has disturbed her sleep. Tss."Sean reacted immediately to what Sena to
(Luis POV)"He deserved it.""He is still your father," I was surprised to hear. "But he is very demonic." Is it impossible for your father to change? Tsk. Tsk."I smiled at him, knowing how much Sean loves his father.His staff greeted us with a benevolent bow and escorted us to the elevator."I want to make him realize that it's not too late for him, but knowing that he's been poisoned gradually, he's not doing anything; he just goes with the flow. What for? Why is he doing this?"He is, indeed, still my father. As my parent, I hold him in high regard. He, on the other hand, is the one who did not respect himself. He's living as if he's a mistake, doing the worst things possible. His personality and attitude toward his leadership are identical to the previous Elders. How many lives have been sacrificed because of our family? Tsk. They are demonic in n
(Sean POV)When he caught up with me, he asked, "When are you coming home?""Does your good family have another plan for us during ourtravel all the way back home?" He smiled at me."Who knows, you might not make it home alive.""Tss. What is your father's plan?""Since they abandoned Rhen.You're probably aware that they want to take something else from you. Sean, my father is not only your adversary. There are quite a few of them.""As if I didn't already know.""Are you scared already? ""Tss."“Right now, they're targeting your wife.""That's not even surprised me."Because his father was obviously carrying out his plan. Then my wife is the one they should target if I am the one, they are trying
(Sena POV) "Last night was hopeless. I feel I was betrayed." I smile at him. "I counted your cycle. It may sound strange, but it is part of my respect for you, Sena. I was expecting you to have today, but you don't appear to be in pain. Tell me, has your period arrived yet?" My husband isn't a blatant sexual maniac; he even counted my cycle as if he were the one who was going to have a period. But looking at his expression... He is completely defeated. Bloody Mary has defeated him! "Why are you smiling like crazy Sena? Are you deceiving me?" Then I burst out inlaughter. He is making my stomach in pain because of his face. "Sena!" "I can't help it, Sean. You lookand sound funny. Ahahaha." He closes his eyes, perhaps to recharge his patience with me. "Possibly later or tomorrow? You didn't count it incorrectly, right?" "Sena..." he says, alm
