“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
Rose is a daughter of a business tycoon in the name of Amore Riverstood and her mother Camel Riverstood, who is also the despised mother of Henry. Upon learning about her mother’s sins, Rose or Merajane as she is really called starts to go against their words and became a rebel. At the age of 16, she runs away with her nanny who is actually the one I have been meeting as Rose’s mother, Mrs. Angie Domingo. They settled as a mother and daughter while living a normal and simple life. Behind her cover as Rose, she is using her money for charities and adoption houses. Hiding her true identity can also help her from being drag by her parents back to their house. The money Rose is getting from her part-time jobs, she uses for donations for street children and homeless beggars. Rose asked for forgiveness in regards to how she acted and what she had said that night. She even told me that she had to act differently as Merajane, Mera is supposed to be a spoiled, hard-
5 people are sitting at the table including my mother. Just in front of my mother’s chair is Cole who looks as if he doesn’t care about anything and like we don’t exist at all. Beside him are Sammantha and Henry, they are both looking at me with different types of gazes. Lastly is a man I never have seen before who is silently looking at us with a friendly smile and is sitting beside my mother’s chair. I smile at the man as I sit on the chair my father drawn for me.“Thanks, dad. Ahmmnn seems like we have a visitor?” I said in a low voice to my mother.“Oh! Before we could forget, Peter this is our daughter Zarianne Andrea Marlile. Dear, this man is your father’s friend and business partner Mr. Peter Alexter.” my mom introduces as the man stands and reaches for my hand for a handshake. I smile and rise to take his extended hand.“It’s very ni
I really hate how Henry easily gets mad when the matter is all about the bitchy girlfriend of his. He really is a blind fool and I hate Henry for that.“Tsk she isn’t that pretty anyway.” I utter as I walk out of the mansion towards the plantation.I am walking in the plantation as Beth is silently following behind me with her hands interlaced right her stomach, usual gestures of all the maids here. Everything in sky mansion really doesn’t make me feel normal. It is as if I am stepping on a freaky fairy tale that is slowly turning into a nightmare.“My gosh! Is he that blind? She is a freaking liar and a terrible actress. All I can see in her are all fakes. Ahhh gosh! What is wrong with me? The hell I care about that ugly doll and that fool, I really need to clear my head.” I utter in frustration as I continue to shake my head.Beth is just sile
“I don’t believe you. You’re not acting yourself ever since you return from Canada. We were fine... very fine when we returned here before but now, you seem to be avoiding me. You won’t do that unless I did something wrong. Please tell me.” He persistently said. I turn in annoyance and jump down the railing to face him.“I said NOTHING, okay! What do you want to hear from me? You did nothing! Leave me alone. You are one annoying, jerk.” I said and I walk away leaving him on my balcony.Somehow just seeing his face is making me infuriated. He follows me and blocks my way to face me face to face.“See, you can’t even look at me in the eyes. Zam, what did I do wrong? I won’t stop asking you if you will not tell me. What did I do?” he said and he takes my hand on his.My heart starts to pound even faster and I can almost hear
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
