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
“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
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
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.
“This sucks!” I utter to myself.I watch the rain dropping beautifully from the sky into the school ground. I am sitting at the very back of the class besides the window, my usual spot in our classroom. Like the others, I am also a backbencher person. By the way, my name is Anna Marie Marcelo; both my parents are dedicated farmers. I have 5 siblings, 3 males, and 2 females. I am the only one studying right now so I have the opportunity to do whatever I like without anyone bothering me since they are all busy back in our province. Like any other middle-class child, I also feel that my life is so boring and worthless.... not until.“So boring.” I sigh as I play with my pen in my hand.Our teacher in Creative Writing is discussing in front yet my mind is occupied by the thoughts of how my life went upside down.“I wonder, how is everyone doing back at home?&rd
--- October 22, 2017/ 3 months ago ---I and my best friend Margie Rose Domingo are walking to the school ground trying to head our way home. I swear I feel so tired and stressed after that long remedial exam given by our professor since he said that our records are hanging low so all his class stayed late just to comply. The whole school surroundings are now starting to darken but few students are also heading home.“Wow! I can’t believe sir did it again. It’s already late see, it’s already 6:10 and I’m so tired.” I said as I fixed my shoulder bag into my right shoulder, I simply look at my friend beside me seeing her also worn-out face.“Yap talks about much too many reminders for next semester. Did you take that form they had given us?” my best friend and partner in many crazy things Margie Rose Domingo asks as I just nod and look
“Okay, if everyone has settled in..... let’s start then.” The man who is in his 50’s said who sits beside the pretty lady who is just silently looking at me.“Before we start let me introduce myself just for the young lady, for Anna’s sake. Ahmnnn my name is Attorney George Miles a friend of Mr. Alvictos William Villaflor and his wife Mrs. Leliana Victoria Renne Villaflor, and I am also their attorney.” The man in his 40’s said as he signs towards the man and woman in front of me indicating that the persons he is talking about are the persons beside him.I look at my father Mr. August Marcelo as I can see my father takes a deep breath; my mother faces me and looks at me with teary eyes. Okay... WHY are they acting so weird? They never once again NEVER act this way before. My parents are tough to read, it’s hard to read their emotions and they are not those types of per
I am wiping my tears outside the house right at the entrance balcony as I look up to the moon when I heard the door opens.“A-Anna a-are you okay?” I turn to see Michael holding a glass of water handing it to me making me sigh.“Yah! I’ll be fine. Thanks, Michael.” I said with a smile as I take the glass of water he is offering me.I silently drink the water as we look at the moon while we are enveloped with a cold silence which is making me feel so alone despite his company.“S-so, you- you are leaving?” Michael said as he looks at me, I touch my face and feel that it is cold and wet because of my tears.“I… I, guess so.” I said as I take a deep breath.“You’re lucky you know.” Michael suddenly said after a few moments of silence while he looks up to the moon.
-----Present time------“Hey Anna let’s go, what are you waiting for?” I am stunned by someone’s tap on my shoulder.I look up to see my best friend Rose who looks so pissed. She is wearing our school education course uniform like I am wearing now.Light blue slacks, a light blue blazer that is covering our pink blouse... honestly those who designed our uniforms are crazy. The color is hateful, the cloth is not stretchable and so fit in our body, and the sizes are also sickening. In my uniform, I feel like I am about to suffocate. By the look on Rose's face and how her uniform is tightly wrapping her body... she must not in the mood today.“Oh! Sorry I was just thinking something. How long did ma’am dismiss the class?” I ask as Rose’s eyebrow shoots up.“We are
