There, I saw all the Lopezes including Karmine’s sisters and sir Kiko, her father. Kita ko rin ang takot sa mga mata ni Don Saul at Donya Marina habang nakatingin sa apo nilang si Karmine. Sir Kiko had a stern, serious and pained look samantalang umiiyak iyong mga anak niya at nagsusumamo sa kaniya.   “Please, Papa...”   Hinigpitan niya ang hawak sa braso ni Karine at matigas na umiling siya rito, “Hindi nga puwede, Karine. Paano kung masaktan ka ng Ate mo? Hindi ko kakayanin,

CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN: THE ART OF BREAKING FREE PART 2 Robert Ezekiel Mondragon’s Point of View   Hindi namin namalayan na nakalapit na pala ang pamilya Sotto sa amin. “Kiel, baby I missed you. I was so scared I thought I’d die. Thank God for saving me...” Marahas kong kinalas ang yakap niya sa akin at pinisil ng mahigpit ang mga kamay niya. She grimaced in pain. Kulang pa iyan, Astrid. “O-Ouch! Ouch, Kiel! It hurts!” Habang hinihila niya ang kamay niya paalis sa pagkakapisil ko ay pabalyang binitawan ko ito. She stumbled on the floor. Her step-mom, Agnes helped her stand on her feet and they both glared at me.   “What the fuck was that for, Mr. Mondragon? Ano’ng karapatan mong saktan ang anak ko?” asik nito sa akin.   I grinned at her to insult her, “Anak? Seriously, Mrs. Sotto? Nagagawa mong ituring na anak ang demonyong iyan? Pero ang mga mabubuti at matitino mong anak ay nagawa mong kalimuta

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT: THE CONFRONTATION OF THE EX-LOVERS PART 2 Robert Ezekiel Mondragon’s Point of View   She looked up to me with tears streaming down her eyes, “Mahal na mahal kita, Kiel. Please ako na lang. Ako na lang ulit. Handa ako’ng pagsisihan ang lahat ng mga ginawa ko sa iyo at sa pamilya mo. Handa ako’ng magbayad para sa mga kasalanang nagawa ko pero, please ako na lang. Ako na lang ulit, Kiel. Please, let me be that girl for you. Mamahalin kita ng lubos. Ikaw na ang pipiliin ko kahit na ano pa ang mangyari. I promise to never repeat the same mistake again. Please, Kiel take me back in your arms, in your heart, in your mind and in your life. Please, I’m begging you, Ezekiel take me back. Ako na lang ulit...” Humikbi siya at niyakap ang sarili. “Ako na lang. Please, Ezekiel, ako na lang ulit.”   Napaiwas ako ng tingin sa kaniya. She looks every inch of a broken woman. Nagkamali ako ng inisip kong nakita ko ulit ang dating A

CHAPTER FORTY-NINE: JUST ANOTHER WOMAN IN LOVEKarmine’s Point of View I’m not supposed to feel this.   I’m not supposed to be this happy and elated because of whatever I am feeling for Robert. At least not when the still on-going case of harrassment those bastards did to my beloved girls, but what can I really do? As much as I want to stop feeling this I can’t. I can’t because I’m just another woman in love.   Just another woman in love, huh. I scoffed in disbelief. Para ako’ng teenager nito habang mahinang kinakanta sa utak ko ang kantang iyan. Tugmang-tugma ang kantang iyan sa kung ano man ang nararamdaman ko ngayon paar kay Robert.   Mag-uumaga na pero hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ako makatulog. Kanina pa ako pagulong-gulong na para bang kinikilig at immature na teenager sa kama ko.   Ilang oras na ba mula nang makaalis slash takbuhan ako ng lalaking iyon matapos niya ako’ng pak
