WARNING:SPG"How's Daven, Levi?" "He's fine now. Ngayon na ang uwi niya," he paused. I heard him sighed. "Sadie. I feel like there's something wrong." "Wrong? What is it?" "Daven. It's like someone is really after him. He was tense whenever I asked him what really happened that night. But he keeps saying he doesn't know or maybe he is just being played. It's just weird" he explained. "M-Maybe… he's correct. Sa panahon ngayon, marami na ang mga taong gano'n, Levi. We're not sure. Sasabihin naman siguro ni Daven kung may problema siya. Or kung may humahabol sa kaniya." Mariin akong napapikit at nagpakawala ng malalim na hininga. The call ended. Agad kong tinago ang phone ko. Lumabas ako ng kuwarto at nagtungo kay Hunter. Nilaro ko siya at pinakain. Sinusundan ko lang siya hanggang sa nakarating kami sa hallway ng mansyon kung saan ang mga bawat kuwarto. Dala-dala ko ang tennis ball na nilalaro niya nang bigla niyang agawin sa akin iyon gamit ang kaniyang bibig. Tumakbo siya nang tu
I woke up feeling unwell. Sakit ng aking katawan ang agad na sumalubong sa akin sa umaga. My back, hips, thighs, even my head is throbbing. Masakit din ang aking pagkababae dahil hindi talaga niya ako tinigilan. Nagbaba ang tingin ko sa aking katawan na malinis na at nakasuot na ng night dress. He cleaned me up. I sighed and fixed my hair. I stopped when I realized that the room was still dark. Walang liwanag ng araw ang sumalubong sa akin. Ngumiwi ako habang sinusubukan na umalis sa kama. Kinuha ko ang controller na nasa night stand at pinagilid ang malaking gray na kurtina gamit ang controller. The curtain slowly slid sideways. My head tilted to the side as my eyes narrowed seeing the dark sky outside. Umawang ang aking bibig nang mapagtanto kung anong oras pa lang. Nahihirapan man ay tumayo ako. Kinuha ko ang aking kulay pulang roba na hanggang talampakan at sinuot iyon. "Where is he?" I whispered to myself, wondering.Inakala ko na umalis na siya patungo sa opisina. Pero nang m
The employees were bowing and greeting us to show some respect to the CEO and to me. I was just smiling at them the whole time as we made our way to his office. Accius didn’t even show a small smile to the people. He just walked like he didn't care about his surroundings, all of his attention was just on me the whole time. Namangha ako sa kaniyang kumpanya. Inaasahan ko na malaki at maganda, pero hindi ko inakala na mas sobra pa roon. Agad na may sumalubong sa amin na sa tingin ko ay sekretaya niya. At may isa pang employee na nakasunod din sa amin. Hindi ko na pinakinggan pa ang mga sinasabi nila kay Accius tungkol sa kumpanya. My eyes were busy roaming around. Hanggang sa nakarating kami sa top floor na walang masyadong tao. “We’re near my office, Doll. Just tell me if you want something.” My eyes immediately roam around his office. His office is huge. The design of his office was just like him. Dark. I walked towards the glass wall and turned at him. I smiled. “The design of you
WARNING: MATURE CONTENTDahan-dahan kong minulat ang aking mga mata nang maramdaman ang presensya sa paligid. The darkness filled the room. Tanging ang maliwanag na buwan ang nagsisilbing ilaw ngayon. Dahan-dahan ang kilos kong bumangon. I looked around the room to find Accius. Lumipat ang tingin ko sa orasan. It's already midnight. Agad akong umalis sa kama at lumabas ng kuwarto. My mouth parted when I saw Accius coming out from his office. Alam kong papasok siya sa kuwarto kaya dali-dali akong bumalik sa kuwarto. Ang lakas ng kabog ng dibdib ko. Ramdam ko rin ang init ng aking mga mata sa matinding emosyon na naramdaman. It's not because of his presence or because I'm scared of him. It's because of him, wearing a long-sleeved polo and trousers that made me overthink. Alam ko agad na aalis siya. Pupuntahan niya kaya si Tiana? So she was maybe telling the truth. Am I not really enough for him? I can't disappoint my parents. If they know that Accius is losing his interest in me, I'm
WARNING:SPG"How dare you! You're really— Ugh! Useless! You're giving me a headache! Ang dali-dali na lang ng ginagawa mo, Sadie, hindi mo pa magawa ng tama?!" "Mom…" nanghihina kong sambit. "Shut up! I thought, I don't have to worry about you, playing your role. But you disappointed me again! How could you do that? Because you're not here in this mansion anymore, I won't know what you were doing?" she muttered. I can feel my hands trembling. "Mom. I-I am doing what you want. Why–" "Then why did you leave in his mansion without him knowing?! Do you know what he'll think?! He was disappointed for sure! You even left the country with a freaking boy! Unbelievable!" She let out a heavy sigh and shook her head in disappointment. She massaged her temple while sighing. "I'm sorry. He already forgave me, Mom. You don't have to worry about t-that… I took care of it already. We're okay, w-we're doing fine," my voice cracked. I sighed and wiped my tears. "Fine?! You're not sure about that!
"Come here, Hunter." I smiled at him and patted his head. I sat on the white chair and gave the tennis ball to him. Nakaupo lang siya sa gilid ng aking inuupuan at nakabantay sa akin. Ngumiti ako habang hinahaplos siya. I turned my gaze to the bright sky. From here on the veranda of the mansion, I can see Accius' mens guarding the mansion, especially me. I let out a heavy sigh and leaned on the backrest. Pinagsiklop ko ang aking mga kamay at tahimik na tinanaw ang tanawin. Nabaling ang atensyon ko kay Hunter ng marahan niyang kinagat ang dulo ng aking mahabang itim na dress na hanggang paa ang abot. "What's the matter?" I asked. Bahagya siyang yumuko. I caressed his head because that's what he wants. He closed his eyes and relaxed as I did that. We stayed there for a while before I decided to go back. Hunter headed to his place. Nagtungo naman ako sa aming kuwarto kung nasaan si Accius. Earlier, I was just staring at his perfect face while he's sleeping. Hindi ako gaanong nakatulog
“M-Mom...” Napailing ako at hinawakan ang aking naninikip na dibdib. I can’t breathe. I am trying to calm myself but I couldn’t. “Tinalikuran kami bigla ng malalaking taong negosyante. At ang meeting ng Daddy mo sa isang makapangyarihang negosyante ay hindi na sinipot ang Daddy mo. Imagine being with partner with those powerful people, mas malaki ang chance na lalaki ang ating kumpanya katulad nila. All of it was doing good like we had planned. But suddenly this happened. At first, we thought we are the one who’s in lack and no doing good...” she shook her head and glared at me. “But we realized, your husband is the one who introduced them to us. All of them were coming from him. So, he is also the boss of them. I bet he's the one who ordered them to drop us and leave us behind!” My mouth parted at what I heard. I was shocked and confused. I couldn’t even breathe properly. I shook my head and took a deep breath. “Mom...” I whimpered. I wanted to tell her that I couldn’t breathe
“Stop it.” Inangat ko na ang strap ng aking dress at nilingon siya. He’s looking at me intently, but his hand was still on me. “Accius, can you even tell me kung nasaan ko galing kanina? I was thinking about you the whole time. You always leave like that. Alam ko naman na hindi dapat ako nakikialam sa ginagawa mo pero…” I sighed and did not continue. I shook my head and got up from the bed. “I… I’ll just get some fresh air. I feel suffocated.” Nagtungo ako sa balcony ng aming kuwarto. I looked at my shaking hands. I bit my lower lip to stop my tears from falling. Hindi ko ininda ang lamig na bumabalot sa aking katawan dahil sa hangin at lamig ng labas. Naramdaman ko na lang ang roba kong binalot ang aking nilalamig na katawan. I turned at Accius who put his black silk robe on me. Habang siya ay topless at walang suot na roba dahil sinuot niya sa akin ang kaniya. He hugged me from the back and gently kissed my shoulder. Napapikit ako nang higpitan niya pa lalo ang kaniyang pagkayaka
