I laid my back on the bed without even changing my clothes. I am so stressed, tired and so emotional to even try to get up and change. I sleep with too many matters in my mind and not to mention my plans on leaving.
“Zam, please open your door, I need to talk to you.”
I heard the jerk knocking on the door that made my morning worst. What does he want this early? Oh gosh, my eyes are so swollen and my head is aching so bad. I reluctantly slide down from the bed; I touch my cheek when I feel a sudden pain. I suddenly then remember that I was slapped right on my face that’s why my face hurts. My anger and frustration start to return especially knowing that Henry is now knocking on my door. He even dared to see me this early after what happened yesterday, he really has the guts.
“Can’t he understand that I hate to see his face? He didn’t even say sorry and is acting as if not
-----PRESENT TIME-----I really can’t believe that HE is there. It had been 3 weeks and I am doing just fine. I am now back as Anna Marie Marcelo, yet WHY is he here? I look at my plate and I still can feel his gaze on me. Why is he here? Did my parents tell him where I am, I clearly told them in my calls that they are not to tell anyone especially HIM.“Hey, best are you alright? You are so silent there; did your lasagna bite your tongue?” Rose said jokingly and I look at my friend’s face.I slowly lean closer to Rose and sign her to get closer to me. Rose looks so confused but she leans closer to me.“What’s wrong?” Rose whispers.“Do you remember the man I told you about before? The one who is the son of my papa’s friend? You know, the insane man?” I said as Rose think then looks at me with wide eyes
A jeep came and we sigh in relief as we take our seat inside the jeep. I nearly laugh when Henry looks so mad upon being squeeze when the jeep starts to get crowded.“What the –.” he nearly curses when someone steps on his feet.“Shhh bear with it.” I said grabbing his arm and look at him with a warning.I can’t stop myself anymore seeing his pained expression making me giggle in amusement seeing how he turns silent but his face unexplainable.“What’s so funny?” he said with a tone of being pissed.“Oh nothing, finally – you can see what Anna is going through.” I said as I look at his face as he takes a deep breath and start to pull his neck tie down so now it hangs on his neck with his white dress shirt open one button.“You are enjoying this right?” he said loo
“What the –” Henry also utters as I try to dry myself using the tissue I take on the table.I look at the girl who has thrown the ice tea to my face. There are 4 rich-looking BITCHY ladies standing there looking like smug prostitutes because of their much too revealing clothes. They are looking at me with despise and disgust. When Henry looks up to see who, he seems to recognize them because his eyes widen.“That’s for Sam, YOU wench! Henry do you got any class at all? You are CHEATING on our friend with a freaking ugly poor freak. Sam will know about this.” The lady wearing a miniskirt said as she looks at me with disgrace.My eyebrows went up just like how my blood boils and all my resolve disappeared.“Megan, guys you’ve got the wrong idea. You didn’t need to do that.” Henry stands in annoyance and surprise as I look at them
“So, THIS is our long-lost cousin? I must say.... she’s quietly not so – fancy.” The one who is sitting on my bed said as he looks at me from head to toe.I can hear the sarcasm in his words, but I must keep my cool before I will beat the hell out of these guys. They look like some princes and gods with their handsome faces but deep inside they look like some rotten apples with their rotten personalities though the other one on my bed feels so different. He just looks at me with cold emotions but I don’t see that he is looking down on me.“Okay everyone this is our daughter Zarianne Andrea Marlile. Zam dear, this guy at the bed is Cole Lyrus Pilkins, your uncle Mar’s son. These are Austin and Marlon, they are twins and they are your aunt Joleene’s son’s.” my father said as I look at them.“I must say, it’s NOT a pleasure to finally meet
The best thing about my lessons and about my teachers is that we became friends. They are all kind to me, even how many mistakes I made they are too patient and understanding... not unlike the one person I am thinking right now, Henry. I am now sitting on the bar’s counter still in my old woman disguise. My lesson with Ms. Deandra has just ended and my last test is also perfect. It is about making a disguise and putting it on. I really can’t imagine that I learned many bizarre things in my one-month stay here. I can even believe that I survived it all.“Grandpa said my final test will be put in action tomorrow. I wonder how and what kind of test will it be. Somehow I feel like I am being trained to be a spy or something. I was even trained on how to hack computers. What a tiring month this is.” I utter and sigh.I am drinking into this one glass of margarita that the lady bartender of the mansion’s
I sigh as I look at my reflection. I am wearing a lovely bluish gown with an off-shoulder cleavage and a ribbon on my waist. I am wearing open-toe heels that are colored blue and are designed with red, green, and diamond stones. I look at my face with slight make-up which I especially ask Beth to do since I don’t like heavy make-ups. My hairs are fixed and are curly and are hanging freely on my back with some butterfly pins as designs. Beth said that those pins are made of real stones so all of my clothes and pieces of jewelry are pricey.“Where- Where are Jake and Aunt Carla?” I ask as I slowly feel calm.“They are also there Milady, Jake is with his band. They are going to be in charge of the music for the day.” Beth said and somewhat knowing that Jake and the others are there to support me made me feel a little bit okay.“How- How about Henry, is he here now?&rdq
I look at them in shock then act again to be thinking. I smile and look at the crowded dance floor.“I supposed I can manage without these freaking heels.” I said and they laugh.They all gasp when I hold into Benjamin’s shoulder and begin to unclip the lock of my open-toe heels and take off both of them. I set it aside underneath the table before us. I stand before them barefooted and I let go of the dress I am pulling up so I won’t step into it covering my bare feet.“SO... who is going first?” I said with a smug smile.The 3 look at each other with shocked eyes before they all burst laughing.“I have to say, you really are something.” Deandra said as she raises her wine to me.“Can you really manage? I mean you look so tired and you seem to hate the crowd.” Catherine said as she looks at me worrie
“Why! Rose.... because we’re friends and that’s what friends do. We support each other. What am I to you then? I am just a cover-up to your fake life, so your life is NONE of my business… And I thought we’re best friends.” I scream as I tightly clench my dress on my fist. They both look at me surprised.Rose’s face went pale and she is unable to speak as she looks at me shocked. I am crying as I tightly clench my dress as both Henry and Rose look at me.“All this time you are a stranger who hides her identity behind my best friend Rose. I- I can’t believe that I even believed everything you have told me about you. WHO are you?” I said as they both look at me.“A- Anna!” she utters in pure disbelief as her hands hang on her side her cold character a little while ago is now gone.“Anna! Anna! Ho- How?&rdq
I smile on my reflection seeing myself. I am wearing a mask so my face is different. I have pinkish lips, blonde hair or wig, an elongated nose, and I’m wearing bluish contact lenses. I look at Mera on the other side just for us to smile cunningly. She is also wearing a mask and a jet black wig with reddish highlights; she is wearing grey contact lenses, and she is dressed in this lovely lavender off-shoulder gown with hanging straps on her shoulders but with a tube-like cleavage showing her lovely necklace. Her wig is in a lovely twist and is designed with flowers. I am wearing the same gown but my wig is hanging freely on my sides but is fixed on my head with lovely flowers and pins. Mera and Zam are supposed to be one of the bridesmaids but we are going there disguised.“So Mera, are you ready?” I ask as I walk towards her as Zyrem and Clide stand on the side waiting for the command to what they will do next.
After almost months of dating and being in a relationship, my brother Ezzar decided to propose to Carol who happily said yes. Unfortunately, Carol’s parents are so against their relationship. My brother is starting to get depressed so when my sister Daisy called me and accidentally told me about it I fly back as soon as possible. Especially when I found out how they threaten my brother to never see Carol and they lock Carol at home so they will never meet. That is when I called the help of the three people I know who can help me. They met me right in the airport and we ride towards the Stanleys’ house as soon as I arrive so I have jetlag the time I arrive at the airport mixed with my frustration with how they treated my brother.‘Hmnn so this is their house, not so bad. So that is why they had the guts to threaten my brother that way.’ I utter in my mind as I look at the mansion gate while I roll down the window of the
“So what do you plan to do now Lady Zarianne?” a woman in the crowd asks as I sigh.“Well, that is also the other reason why we called everyone for this party. After unmasking Miss Z it will NOT be fitting if I will continue working this business under a false identity. After all, it had served its purpose so… I think it is time for me to give my plans closure. I will be leaving the management of Z Prime Corporation to someone I trusted. Miss Daisy Marcelo, can you come up here as well as Mr. Michael Adamson.” I said and everyone looks around as I can see my sister and Michael looking as baffled as they walk up to the stage beside me.“These two are my trusted friend and employee. Miss Marcelo here is my secretary and Mr. Adamson is a friend of mine. I will be giving the position of Company President to Miss Marcelo and the position of being the Executive Assistant to Mr. Adamson. I am sure
I take a deep breath before I look at everyone who is looking at me worriedly. I nod at them and they sigh.“Let them in Zyrem, thank you.” I stated as the others sigh and start to stand and walk out of the living room meeting Austin ad Marlon who look as terrible and sad as my parents stayed by my side worried about what the brothers will do to me.We wait as they both walk in looking so pale and weak unlike when we first met. Marlon’s smug and arrogant look is not gone and he looks like a sleepless stressed person from having too many problems. Austin looks like he is hanging on but he looks as bad as his brother. I sigh as I look at them as they stop before us.“Please take a seat.” I said softly as I look at them.They silently s
“Ahmmnn you knew… you are kissing your cousin right? Mind backing a little.” we look towards the door to see Henry, Rafael, Daisy, Mera, my parents, and grandfather who are looking at us really weird.“Oppss you got us.” I said as I start laughing as Mere smirks at me and Cole looks at me rubbing his nape as he looks down unable to look at my parents and grandpa.“Hey you guys do not scare Cole, will you? And to be honest we are not blood-related. I guess we have a winner on that competition you had set before grandpa.” I said with a silly smile on my lips as they look at me as Cole look at me unable to comprehend.“Ah that competition, I supposed I can’t go against your decisions, my brave princess. After all, I already said that whoever yo
I roll over and look up at the sky as I can feel my wound aching. Things went really fast and here I am lying on this rooftop tired and wounded. I am slowly losing my blood and I can hear ringing over my head. I close my eyes and laugh at the irony of this all. When I open my eyes I froze seeing his face.“Stay with me. Don’t you dare close your eyes.” he screams as I can feel his hand covering my gunshot wound over my chest.“Medic!” he screams as some medic came rushing in to dress my wound.“Hey, hey look at me. Stay with me.” he screams as I look at him and slowly reach his face.“You… You crazy jerk stop screaming. My head is ringing and what are you talking about. I was always with you… foo
“She is fine but…… she is shot on her shoulder, slight wounds from the car crashing and- and the doctor said that her operation went well but she is still unconscious. We just returned to tell you this then get her something clean to wear and to let you guys be alert. Jake, Rafael, and I will go and see her in the hospital but you guys just keep going into the missions. I feel so bad.” Rose said as she sits on the sofa looking so burdened.“What- What had happened?” Michael said and Jake look at them before he sighs.“We got blocked and rained with gunshots. I tried making the car run backward as fast but we crashed into another van behind us. We tried to run out but we were surrounded by those men. Rose- Rose was about to be shot but Z pushed her away and she got shot ins
“Marlon, please stop this. What on earth are you doing? This is not going to solve anything. It will just make things difficult for us.” Austin said as he looks at his twin brother who identically looks like him but they are too different in style and characters.“Shut it Austin! You heard it as well. That man said that this BITCH is the one responsible for what happened to us and who paid someone to kidnap us and destroy our parents’ business. We are living now in a small God-forsaken rental house all because of her.” Marlon said as he looks at me looking so angry with his red eyes, messy look, and terrible drunken state.“But we have no proof that it is her doing. All we have are that man’s accusations.” Austin said as his brother look at him but st
“Cole is here, right?” I said and she looks at me with a smile as Rose nods.“Yap I think so, we did invite him here so I supposed he is here.” Rose said as her eyes scan the room.“Ah, there he is. Classy and cold as always but damn…… he sure is handsome and masculine.” Rose said as she looks at Cole who is standing with his friends on the side wearing this lovely black suit and his hair all brushed really well.“Perfect, tell the boys I want him in the women’s comfort room now, time to talk with him.” I said and Rose nods then she smiles cunningly before she texts someone with her cell phone.We waited for a few moments when her cell phone rings then she answered it and she smiles at me and nod. I can see that scary s
