"Ikaw lang ang maasahan namin, lalo sa mga kapatid mo, nakaasa silang lahat sa'yo anak.""Sobrang masaya kami na lahat ng suporta na naibibigay mo, ginagawa mo para sa amin, anak. Pati sarili mo kasiyahan ay sinakripisyon mo para sa pamilya natin.""Proud kami sa'yo anak,"Iyon ang mga salita na nakatatak sa isip ko, habang napapatulala ako sa kawalan.Sobrang bigat ng dibdib ko, para akong nauubos ngayon, nanlalambot at walang lakas para kumilos.I am a at the verge of breaking down and feeling that I am about to collapse after my team leader said that they will terminate my contract here at the company that I am working for almost one decade.Hindi ako puwede matanggal sa trabaho, hindi ako puwede mawalan ng trabaho, papaano mga kapatid ko, ang nanay ko na may maintenance na gamot, gusto ko na rin mag-retired si Tatay lalo na at natanda na siya.Papaano na ang buhay ko?Hindi ko maintindihan, ano nagawa ko bakit kailangan ako tanggalin sa trabaho ko, sa lahat ng nagawa at napatunaya
It's been two months after ko tanggapin ang surrogate mother na offer sa akin ng ex-girlfiend ng boss ko, at nakakasahod ako ng maayos, pinalipat din ako sa mamahalin na condominium after ko na maconfirm ang pagbubuntis, at ngayon ay kakatapos ko lang magpadala sa magulang ko.Ang sabi ko kasi, nasa ibang location ako, at papunta ng abroad para hindi nila malaman na nagbubuntis ako, which is ang original plan namin ay lilipad ako sa states at doon ako manganganak, inaasikaso na ni Ma'am Kate ang mga papeles ko.Ngayon, hindi pa rin mawala sa isip ko ang contrata na pinirmahan ko, at nasa marangya akong condominium ngayon na dati ay pinapangarap ko lang.Parang nung nakaraang mga buwan lang ay halos mabaliw na ako kakaisip kung papaano magiging buhay ko nito.Ten million after this pregnancy, plus bahay at lupa, sasakyan at american citizen, hindi na masama para sa saglit na ilang buwan na sakripisyo ko.Sumandal ako sa sofa at marahan na ininom ang gatas, tanaw ang buong Manila, na da
"I'm sorry, I am really having a hard time to catch up with you, Eclipse but it's really nice to see you doing well." Nangangatog pa rin ako hanggang ngayon at nagtataka si Eclipse, binaba ang kubyertos at huminga ng malalim."What is wrong? May nang haharass ba sa'yo, you know that I can help you." Hawak ni Eclipse ang kamay ko at umiling ako ng marahan sa sinabi n'ya sa akin.Papaano ko ba sisimulan, at ano nga ba ang dapat ko na gawin?Kailangan ko mag-tiwala kay Miss Jade, at alam ko naman na hindi n'ya ako papabayaan."Wala, stress siguro ito at saka alam mo naman na naterminate contract ko sa company." Bumitaw na si Eclipse sa kamay ko at umismid."Grabe ha, who are they. If they bridge the contract, terminated it. May bayad kayo dapat na makukuha roon." Paliwanag ni Eclipse at sumimsim ng alak."Hindi ko alam buong laman ng contract kasi, binabagsak lang sa akin trabaho ko, tapos ayon na. Gagawin ko na yung project," paliwanag ko at hinahati ang steak."That's so unfortunate, a
"You will be the wife of Emperor Blake." My father said that after he asked to dine with me for the first time, my world completely collided when I heard the decision that I could not defy.The emperor of the neighborhood empire is known for being a tyrant, and I know that my father will do everything to save his beloved daughter, that is why he is sending me for diplomatic relations with the empire. "And you can't say no to me, Delaney, this the only task that I know, you are capable of." My father smile wickedly after saying that and pointed to the silk fabric that is covering my eyes. His actions show that he is plotting something bad at the neighborhood empire.I am cursed, since the day I was born. My mother, a concubine of the emperor tried to put a curse on my older brother, but unfortunately, those people who pushed and support her in putting a curse on the crown prince are a setup plan, because they want to ruin what my mother build for my future.No one knows what kind of c
I automatically hugged myself and I heard a groan, it's a man!I gather all of my courage to look at the back, and there's a man with his armor that is laying at the back door. He looked injured and I recognize the crest on his chest, he is the war hero, and the news says that the war hero is missing after he defeat the monster in the northwest part of the Drivike Empire.I went closer to him, and his body is hot, I mean he is having a fever and I saw a lot of wounds on his body, and if he is not wearing armor, he will be dead due to the marks that are from the sword.Even though he looked heavy, I removed his armor first before I helped him to walk inside my castle, he is Sir Perseus William, and now he looked pale. I am at the moment where I got panicked easily, but I still manage to get some water and a towel to clean all the blood from his body, removing his shirt and his wound is fresh.It's a good thing that I have some herbal here, that can help to stop bleeding and to disinfec
I slowly open my eyes, when I feel a gaze on me, and I am not wrong, there's a pair of brown eyes that's looking at me.It's Sir William. Looking at me and he is laying on the other side of the bed.I automatically step back, almost falling onto the bed but he caught my waist, and now my body is so near to him."My fever is gone, I can also move freely and I am still alive, didn't get the curse that the sage claims." He said after letting go of my waist. When I saw my hand, there was a bandage and my cheeks didn't swell too."I took care of you, I can't believe that you have a lot of wounds on your hands, you didn't know how to properly clean a sword and still clean it?" He said, and it sounds like he is worried about me. It sounds good when people are worried about you. "Why you're smiling, are you making fun of me?" Sir William asked, with annoyance in his voice."No, it's just I find it comforting, when people are worried about you," I said and he look calmer now when he heard my
I am here in the dressing room, and the servants are busy dressing me and taking care of my hair and makeup. I can feel that they are afraid to assist me, but today is the day of Emperor Blake's arrival.The door opened in the most unmannered way, and it was the Empress and Hannah. They instructed the servants to leave us for a while."You, daughter of stupid dancer!" Her Majesty pointed my forehead, and laugh wickedly."Greetings, her majesty." I bow my head and the empress sit down on the couch Hannah looked at the jewelry and dress that I am about to wear tonight."Look at you, even if you wear the most expensive dress and jewelry tonight, you still look like a walking corpse." The empress drinks the tea and rolls her eyes. I feel awkward while looking at them, every time she saw me, she never failed to hurt my feelings, and tell me that I am nothing, but trash in her eyes.I do my best to avoid her, but now I know that it's impossible because of the arrival of Emperor Blake."That
A soft bed and silk are a comfortable place to sleep, but I quickly stood up and noticed that I am in an unfamiliar room.I checked my dress, and still the same. Kier is sleeping on the sofa and the sun is about to rise, I need to prepare for my departure.He is nice, he didn't do something to me when I am vulnerable, yet, Kier secured me. He treated me way better than the servants here in the empire.I caressed his hair, what a unique color, similar to the color of a pearl. His features are softer than Emperor Blake, I can't help but to smile and wish that he will become a good friend of mine when I am at Gribe.I didn't look back and walked out of his room, look around and there was no guard around. But I heard a voice at the back of the guest room. A familiar voice and it's belong to my brother. He is cursing and throwing things around. I ran away because if he saw me lurking around, listening to him, it was not good for me, but a man caught my hand and covers my mouth.His smell
I sat in the bathtub for two hours and stared at the ceiling. There was no water in the tub and it was already dawn.After my dad forced me to pick up at the bar, I never saw or talked to Samuel. I was even more sad, because I had no idea what he was doing there.I couldn’t sleep with each night that passed. When Dad locked me in the room, I didn’t even want to run away again. I was afraid that something might be wrong with Samuel.I want to cry and scream now, but all of my anger has turned into fear. I have no more tears. I feel tired. I don’t have the strength to fight again.It feels like Samuel gave up on me. Why in the amount of time I needed him? Now I’m tested, now he’s lost to me.I want to talk to him. I know we need to talk to Samuel. I won’t let him go just because my parents don’t want him.I turned quickly when I heard the door open. The bathroom door opened, and Mama came in, carrying food.“Amelia,” said the maid, “and you threw away the food I prepared for you. It’s b
My dad pushed me when we could enter the study room. My mother was next to him, and we were the only three people in the study room.“I have enough of your actions, Amelia. I’m overwhelmed with giving you confidence. I can’t believe that you will do this. You’re destructing yourself! “ Papa shouted at me and pointed at me.I looked at my mother, and Mama didn’t look at me. “I have no idea about that.”Stop lying to me again. I swear I will never listen to lies again. You kid! Papa said it again, and I am soft on what is happening now.Tell me, do you think I can do that? “Destroy my own life, for what?” If I keep my voice low, I don’t want to shout and fight over nonsense.It’s just a picture of me seeing my face and my boobs, that’s all, and there’s really no need to be alarmed. I don’t care and naturally I have dede. What’s new there?You’re disrespecting our family’s name when I was just saying that it’s not really good for you to be attached to the son of the ignorant if you don’t
“Thank you, Samuel.” I hugged Samuel tightly and we were in front of the gate. I went home after a night with the two of us.“Call me when you need me. I am always ready to come here.” Samuel pinched my nose before finally walking away from me, getting into his car and finally leaving.I waved until I lost sight of the car. I looked around the house and took a deep breath. I was going back to this hellish house.If I had a choice, I would have left and walked away from them, but now. I need to calm down and think about what I really need to do, otherwise the outcome of what will happen will not be good.I have a bad feeling about this. I know that Feline will repay me and make a way for me to find a hole.Samuel is a big issue, and at the same time, it is in his favor that we separate, so I need to think and calm myself down right now.When I entered the house, no one was there, and some lights were off, but dim lights were on.I slowly climbed up and made my way to my room, but I was
It’s my second day in Tagaytay and I have nothing else to carry but the bag and my phone. I checked out of some hotels. In Manila, I withdrew money immediately so that Mama and Papa wouldn’t find me right away.I don’t want to talk to anyone. All I want is peace of mind. I need to be able to think immediately about how Feline will get out of my way.Ate is unbelievable. Even though I knew I was pregnant, I didn’t do anything. I didn’t lead her on what her life issue was.Why does he need to lead me? Except for Ate’s previous life, my parents never forbade her.Ate Nathalia is bound to marry someone that she doesn’t love. Papa said before that she should get close to the man she will marry, so that when they get together, it won’t be difficult anymore.I know that Ate is jealous of my freedom. I envy that I can do what I want and date any guy that I want to. But my parents didn’t show any love or affection to me because they were used to following me and understanding the situation.So
The day was fast, the event was over, and on the last day, for the fireworks display, we got a band, as I had planned. There was no face to present Feline on campus.Simply because I leaked her sex video, for what else do I have money if I don’t use it?There was nothing else to talk about, other than the coming out of Feline’s stench. I only spread one. But almost all the men had different videos of her, some of which were just her. Giving a blow job and more.The worst was the foursome video. I don’t know where it came from. Because what I just spread was the video of Feline and one of our campus profs.Feline had no idea what to do, so she was suspended for a week.If Feline could still enter the campus, it would be too thick for her face. Because no one wants to receive him, even Feline’s friends are being bullied on campus, and that is what they deserve.Feline should just disappear from campus. “We can’t let that girl tarnish our reputation.” Said one of my colleagues on the sch
We were at the table with the whole family and ate peacefully, without Feline and her mother, who was our assistant, who had been restless before and was holding her phone.I enjoyed eating tonight, with no maid’s child included at the table. I’m alone in the whole house. I feel safe now. I hope Feline knows her place now, and she wakes up to the fact that she is the son of a humble maid and understands the size of the difference between the two of us.“Where is Feline? We haven’t been home before, and it’s eight in the evening.” Papa stands up and our helper, Feline’s mother, approaches.There’s a problem: I’m leaving.“No, stay here, and here they go straight,” I rolled my eyes and Mama noticed it. Mama’s eyes widened at me, and I in turn stood up, took some wine from the wine jar, and took some champagne. I am low-key celebrating now.Papa, I think we need to talk for a while. It’s about business, and it will ring a bell for you, “I returned to my seat, carrying the paper, and Papa
It’s the second day of the event, and a lovely song makes me feel inspired now. As I sat on the terrace of my room and watched the rising sun, King.I finished my workout and sipped my coffee, which was still warm. Light some cigars, taking advantage of not being awake yet and seeing me now smoking.“This is a great day,” I said as I walked around, stood up and read the message from one of my colleagues on the school council. What I asked Kourtney and Dane to do yesterday had an immediate result.Showing the percentage of bad feedback and leading Feline’s booth, there is even a picture of when a few people are wearing bras when the waitresses are there, especially when the closing is near.There is solid kamint proof, and in two or three days, I will gather bad feedback to close their Feline booth. They will all drop the grade, because half of the grades for performance will be taken there.I exhaled the smoke and spoke to Kourtney via text message. The woman I promised support at the
I am taking the test, and I was also the first to finish and pass it to our prof. The size of his smile surprised me, and he was so happy for me. "Amelia, I don't know how to say this, but the dean has a task ready for you." It pointed to the door and I went with it. We exited the room.It's a request about the meeting with some big investors. The dean's office said that when you get an investor, you don't have to do a thesis for your last year on campus, and they also agreed that you are the best to talk to investors to invest in the campus, since you also hold some names, and they might just be enticed, because the son of a CEO will talk to and approach them. Prof. smiles as he holds my hand."Please accept it. We don't see any candidate for this. Only you are in and chosen by the teachers." I smiled plainly."You think so? How about Feline? She's famous and well known too, with a good and good reputation on campus." My prof immediately shook his head."Unfortunately, she didn't cho
After we ate at the small restaurant, we decided to check into a nearby hotel so we could have some sleep. He wasn’t able to complain anymore since I insisted and besides, the two of us are too tired to drive. It would be a big risk to drive.I laid down on the bed while Josh was standing right across the terrace we rented. He was wearing a jacket while smoking.“You look tense, what happened?” I got up from where I was laying and then leaned my head onto the headboard. He was still staring at the silent night where dawn was fast approaching.“I’m just afraid that you’ll be scolded since I took you home so late.” Josh turned to look at me with a worried look on his face.I can’t help but admire the way he cares about the little things. I smiled.“There is nothing to be afraid of, they didn’t notice me going missing since all of their attention is always on Febi,” I reassured him. I finally got up and snatched a cigarette stick from him before lighting it up.“Sometimes, I feel worthle
