The Lankov's Mistress Chapter 12.2
Chapter 12.2Bumuka ang bibig ko para sana ipaintindi pa sa kaniya ang gusto kong sabihin but Dad beat me to it. "Hayaan mo, Victoria." Napalingon kaming dalawa ni mommy sa kaniya. He's now sipping his wine. But I can see it, he's mad. Like raging mad right now. "Christopher..." "Kailan ba nakinig sa atin ang batang 'yan? Noon pa man ay sinasaway na tayo. She doesn't care about the company or about this family. She's that selfish that she only think about what she wants to do. Hayaan mo siya sa gusto niya." His words dripped like an acid in my throat. Sumikip ang dibdib ko sa sinabi niya. So now I'm not only a disappointment? But selfish too? L"Christopher, don't say that. She's still our daughter." "Magiging anak ko lang 'yan kung makikinig na siya sa atin. When she's still this stubborn and selfish, I'd rather have no daughter at all. I didn't raise an ungrateful brat." Napakurap-kurap ako. He stood up and left. Napabuntonghininga si mommy sa tabi ko. "I'm sorry about your

Prologue"I'll use our chopper, our pilot is already at the rooftop to get me. I'll call you when I arrive okay?" He assured me. I closed my eyes as he kissed my forehead. I held the side of his dress shirt tightly. I don't want him to leave. I just want him here with me but I can't do that, his cousin needs him. Wyatt needs him there. "Come home safely will you?" I opened my eyes and lift my head to look at him. His lips tugged upwards and a lopsided smile escaped on his lips. "I will babe. Babalik ako, pangako 'yan..." Bulong niya. Tumango naman ako at niyakap ulit siya. Isinandal ko ang ulo ko sa malapad niyang dibdib. I sniff his intoxicating scent, becoming my favorite smell. "I'll miss you..." Snuggling closer to him if hugging him leaving no space between us isn't enough to feel his warmth against me. His chest vibrated as his laughter resonates all over the house. He then kissed my head. "I left the shirt I wore last night. It might last for a week, so I left bunch of shi

Chapter 1.1"As what our client told us, they want to change a little of their house. As it is an ancestral house, they want to preserve it but they want to put some modern touch on it on terms of the furniture. As a designer, it's our job to make it happen so I want you all to pass me a portfolio and I'll decide which one we'll present to the client," Miss Nathalie explained. She's the leader of the team and I liked how they handled all of our projects so well. She always make sure that we'll do our best and get the best of us. This is our third huge project this year and we've been doing good so far. The other team has been praising us for always getting the best project but still turned it out well despite of the pressure.I've been working at G&G Designs for two years now and I'm so happy to do the thing that I have loved to do ever since. Sobrang bait at supportive ng mga ka-trabaho ko kaya mas lalo akong ginaganahang magsipag pa. "May we sometimes get the biggest projects on o

Chapter 1.2Iris is a friend of mine here in Amsterdam, she's a local and now working as a freelance model. I've met her accidentally after a client cancelled our meeting. The restaurant were full that time and she suddenly approached me to ask if it's okay to share the table with her and since my meeting was cancelled, I let her. We didn't talk much that day, just a few glances and exchanges of shy smiles. Then a week after, I met her again and that's when she told me that we're destined to be friends. As crazy it may sound, we became friends. I don't know, it just happened, but I absolutely didn't regret it. She's an amazing friend. A couple of knocks on my front door pulled me out of my reverie. I stood up, went to the door and opened it. A grinning Iris holding two cellophanes of a restaurant nearby welcomed me. I sighed and smile at her as I opened the door wider for her. "I bet you're going to cook canned goods again?" She said as she stepped inside. "Nah..." I answered and c

Chapter 2.1"Close your eyes." "Do you think I can persuade them?" I asked her as I close my eyes and let her do my makeup as she volunteered last night. "Of course!" She put something on my eyes. "Don't doubt yourself. You're so good at this field, Sheena." Pagpapalakas niya pa ng loob sa akin na medyo nakatulong naman. Nagku-kwentuhan kami tungkol sa trabaho niya at trabaho ko habang may pinaglalagay siya sa mukha ko. Mga ilang minuto rin ang lumipas bago niya ako hinayaang ibuka ang mga mata ko. Agad akong napangiti nang makita ang itsura ko. I looked good, I looked so good with this makeup. It's just simple but it made me so formal and I looked professional too, not that I'm not, but yeah.Everytime I go to work, I didn't usually put too much effort on my makeup, as I'm just inside the office racking my brain with ideas. "Thank you!" I beam at her. "Yeah, yeah. I know." She teasingly told me. "You better hurry if you don't want to be late." I immediately stood up. "Oh shoot

Chapter 2.2"It's okay," mabait na sagot naman ng isang babae na hula ko ay ka-edaran ko lang. Nakahinga ako nang maluwag nang makitang wala namang masamang reaksyon ang iba pa nilang kasama. "How rude of me, I'm Sheena Reva—" I cleared my throat. "Sheena Montez," I extend my hand to them and they introduced their selves to me one by one. The woman who talked to me first were Raquel, the woman who's the same age as me is Leah, while the man is Rafael and the other one is Jeffrey. They didn't only looked nice, but they also are actually nice. We ordered first before we get into the real thing, the reason why we're here. I gave them my portfolio and explained it to them. They're impressed with my designs and I'm glad that they like it. They suggests some minor details that I took note so I can change it immediately and send it to them. "This one, for all of the rooms, I think it's a good choice that you put these kind of furnitures there. We've got some feedbacks that sometimes when

Chapter 3.1When I confirmed that he was the man I bumped into this morning in front of the restaurant, the first thing I want to do was to hide. I badly want to runaway, even though I'm not sure if he saw me nor recognized me. I harshly turned my whole body to Iris who's now enjoying another glass of alcohol, I don't know. It seems like she's enjoying this more than me, seeing that she's throwing her hands up to the air while swaying her body together with the beat of the music. She didn't even noticed that I'm being restless now. Gusto ko na lang umuwi! I froze on my seat when I smelled that familiar scent. He's just right behind me! Oh God! "A glass of Jack Daniels— whiskey sour mash old no. 7 black label." Despite the loud music around, I still heard him loud and clear. His deep and low voice that made him even more manlier than he already is. No matter how much I stopped myself from looking at him, I still did. From the corner of my eyes, I saw him leaning at the counter, ar

Chapter 3.2"They're on the top lists of the most eligible bachelors in the Philippines! They're heirs, Sheena! Heirs!" She told me like I should know that. "Their family owned chains of hotels. Not only that, but they has a lot of properties all over the world. They have a big share at their hotels and they didn't even get their inheritance yet. They're so freaking hot too! The women would die to at least have a one night stand with them!" She whispered but almost yelling at my face. I grimaced at her last remarks. It looks like they're treating them as Gods. "So you're like, having a crush on them?" "Crush would be an understatement but acceptable my dear," she told me. "They're my w*t dreams..." She whispered while fluttering her eyelashes. I almost puke. I wouldn't go that far with my crush. "Iris!" Sita ko sa kaniya pero tinawanan niya lang ako. "Don't be so innocent please!" She rolled her eyes and took a sip at the glass of water. She's now the one who's grimacing. "Why ar

Chapter 12.1Halos alas dose na kami nakauwi galing sa party kagabi. Wala naman akong ginawa boung gabi kung hindi ang umupo at makinig, pero ramdam ko 'yong pagod ko mula ulo hanggang paa. Sagad sa buto. Mabuti na lang at may lakas pa akong magbihis at magtanggal ng make-up bago nakatulog. Nabawi ko naman ang lakas ko kinabukasan dahil napahaba ang tulog ko. Halos lunch na ako naggising. I don't know kung pinatawag ako sa breakfast kanina o hinayaan na lang nila ako. Kumunot ang noo ko nang di mahanap ang cellphone. I looked for it inside the purse I used last night. Na-lowbatt. Ngayon ko pa lang icha-charge magmula nang dumating ako. After that, I decided to take a long shower to refresh my mind and think all of these. Habang naliligo ay iniisip ko ang dapat kong gawin. Should I go back to Amsterdam now? Napapikit ako nang maalalang may project pa pala akong naiwan do'n. Nawala 'yon sa isip ko dahil sa dami ng mga nangyari. Hindi rin naman tumawag sa akin si Miss Natalie tungkol

Chapter 11.2Gusto kong itama ang mga sinabi ni mommy pero hindi ko ginawa. Itinago ko ang nakakuyom kong kamay mula sa mga mata nila. I remain my beautiful and soft smile on my face. I can't show them my true emotions right now. "Really? My daughter also travels a lot. Might as well—" "Good evening ladies and gentlemen!" Lahat kami ay napatingin sa stage. I never felt so relieved ever since I came here. That emcee just saved me from an endless questioning. "We'll go to our table now. We'll see you around." Pagkatapos nilang magpaalam ay hinanap na namin ang table namin. It was just two tables away from where we stood earlier. Bago ako makaupo ay naramdaman ko ang bigat ng isang tingin mula kung saan. My heart started to beat erratically. I wanted to stop myself but it was already too late. Napatingin na ako sa likod para hanapin siya. It only took me seconds before I found his intense eyes looking straight at me. Kung gaano kadilim kung nasaan siya, gano'n din ang mga matang nak

Chapter 11.1"You looked so beautiful hija." Napalingon ako kay Mommy nang marinig ko ang boses niya sa may pintuan. Nakita kong nakangiti siya pero iba ang sinasabi ng mga mata niya. My throat contracted and I looked away. Narinig ko ang tunog ng takong niya na papalapit sa akin. Nang mag-angat ang ulo ko ay nagtagpo ang paningin namin sa salamin na nasa harapan ko. Malungkot siyang ngumiti at hinawakan ang magkabilang balikat ko. She lovingly looked at my reflection without looking away. I gulped. My eyes started to get misty. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako naiiyak. "I'm sorry, hija..." Biglang sabi niya na nagpatigil sa akin. "I'm sorry for making you so worried about your Dad. I just want you to go home, anak. It's been years since I've seen you and I missed you so much. It's the only way I could think of to make you come home." Nag-iwas ako ng tingin nang humapdi ang mga mata ko kasabay ng pagkirot ng puso ko. I just felt like she manipulated me with that reason. She knew how m

Chapter 10.2He's flipping the pages of the magazine, legs crossed. Before I could even stop myself, Im already checking him out. Again.His hair is fixed in a man bun now, better than I saw earlier. I can see that he has a pointed nose, thick and long lashes. And oh, a red lips too.I unconsciously wet my lower lips using my tongue, when I saw his red tongue brushed his lower lip, when his mouth pop out the lollipop. Taking advantage of the situation, I scan his being. I clearly saw some tattoo on his neck because of his angle from where I am standing. I grimaced.He looked, rugged.He's wearing a baby blue long sleeves. He probably removed the jacket he wore. It's sleeves rolled up until his elbow and that gave me an access to see his tattoos on his arms too. This man screams bad news."Miss Sheena?"Nawala ang tingin ko sa lalaki nang marinig ko ang boses ni Thalia. Lumingon ako sa kaniya at nakita ko siyang nakangiti na sa akin."Yes?""Have you already choose miss? Or you want to

Chapter 10.1 Hindi ako mapakali habang papasok sa loob ng boutique. What is a Lankov doing here? I mean, sobrang imposible lang talagang makita siya dito ngayon lalo na't ang laki ng Maynila o ako lang talaga ang nag-iisip ng gano'n. First was yesterday and then now? Are we getting played by fate now? Hindi ko maiwasang mapalingon sa likuran ko para silipin si Adam. Since the walls are made of glasses, I could clearly see him outside. He's talking to someone on his phone. Hindi ko mapigilang maging kuryuso kung sino ang kausap niya, dahil sa seryosong ekspresyon ng mukha niya habang kausap ang kung sino man ang nasa kabilang linya. Gano'n na lang ang gulat ko nang pagkalingon ko ay may nakangiting babae ang bumungad sa akin. Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko at huminga ng malalim. "Good morning ma'am, we've already informed by Madam Victoria of your arrival today," saad niya. Tumango naman ako. "We've already prepared the dresses she requested to show you." Hindi na ako sumagot at

Chapter 9.2"Grow up, Sheena. Hindi ka na bata para mag-tantrums dahil lang hindi mo nakuha ang gusto mo." Napayuko ako at napahawak sa mga daliri ko, pilit na pinipigilan ang mga luha ko. Nag-uumpisa nang lumabo ang mga mata ko. Sumasakit na rin ang lalamunan ko. Marahas na tumunog ang upuan palatandaan sa pagtayo niya. Hindi na ako nag-angat pa ng tingin dahil alam kung oras na ginawa ko 'yon, tuluyan nang tutulo ang luha ko. Dad left the dining room without saying anything and after a minute, it was the cue for me to leave too. Total naman ay wala naman na akong ganang kumain pa. Hindi ko na hinintay pa si mommy at dumeretso na ako sa kwarto ko. I immediately lay down at the soft mattress of my bed and took a deep breath. I closed my eyes and relaxed myself. Ngayon ko lang naramdaman ang pagod. Ang sakit ng paa ko dahil sa kakalakad kanina. Ang sakit ng ulo dahil sa jet lag. Ngayon ko lang talaga nararamdaman ang dapat ay kanina ko pa iniinda. Ang gusto ko na lang ngayon ay an

Chapter 9.1"Dito lang." I shyly told him. Lumingon siya sa akin nang bahagya at buti na lang talaga at sout ko ang helmet niya kung hindi ay baka napansin niyang nakatitig ako sa kaniya. Itinigil niya ang motor sa tapat ng gate ng subdivision namin. Tinulungan niya akong makababa sa motor niya at tanggalin ang helmet. I fixed my hair a little. Ngayong nakakain na ako at nakakapag-isip na ng malinaw, ramdam ko na ang lagkit ng boung katawan ko. And to think that I was with him almost the whole day made me so embarrassed to death. Ramdam ko ang init ng magkabilang pisngi ko dahil sa pagkapahiya sa sarili. Sana lang talaga ay hindi niya naamoy na amoy araw ako kanina. Nakakahiya! Napaatras at napalayo ako ng kaunti nang bumaba siya mula sa motor niya at lumapit sa akin. Napatingin ako sa magkabilang gilid ko bago muling ibinalik ang tingin sa kaniya."Thank you. For the— ahm," I could only looked at his chin. "For the ride and for the food." I finally told him. I don't why I stutter
The Lankov's Mistress Chapter 8.2
Chapter 8.2Dahil sa pagkakatanggal ng helmet ay mas malinaw ko nang nakikita ang boung paligid. It's refreshing to see greens again. Ngayon ko lang napansin na nasa harapan pala kami ng isang eatery. Gawa sa kahoy ang eatery at may dalawa itong palapag. "What are we doing here?" Tanong ko habang hindi inaalis ang tingin sa eatery. "You're getting comfortable already," imbes ay sagot niya na nagpalingon sa akin. Kumunot ang noo ko habang nakatingin sa kaniya na nasa unahan ang tingin habang nasa loob ng magkabilang bulsa ang dalawa niyang kamay. "Huh?" May kinuha siya sa bulsa ng sout niyang jacket pagkatapos ay nakita ko na lang siyang nagsisindi ng sigarilyo. Ang isa niyang kamay ay tinatakpan ang dulo ng sigarilyo habang ang isa namang kamay ay may hawak na mamahaling lighter. Agad na sumama ang reaksyon ng mukha ko. I hate the smoke of the cigarettes. Agad akong napahakbang palayo sa kaniya dahilan para mapatingin siya sa akin. Kumunot ang noo niya sa ginawa ko at pinagtaasan
