Lahat ng Kabanata ng 9 Muses Series #2: Love & Lies: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

WARNING: Explicit content ahead. Read at your own risk.Naging busy kami para sa paghahanda para sa pag-launch ng Urania, when we got issues about how worst our customer service is. Galit na galit si Cali nang malaman iyon. Aba, sino ba naman hindi? May isang spoiled person na namang inaabusado ang kapangyarihan.Our customer service has not been perfect, but we know how to give every customer a satisfaction. Kung tutuusin kawawa ang waitress namin dahil sa ginawa ng panghihiya ng babaeng iyon, e kita naman sa surveillance camera ang totoong nangyari—though, we compensate in terms of maintaining our good records.“You did great, Faye. Straighten up your shoulders.” Saad ko sa Pinay na waiter na naiiyak na dahil sa nangyari.Kausap ko ito ngayon via zoom meeting to fix the problem with the HR’s and operational team. Nang matapos ay kaagad ko namang tinuon ng pansin ang mga operation management ng company before focusing on operation management ng cruise ships.My phone rings. Akala ko

It’s been two weeks since Josh left. He didn’t message me once, and I get it. Kaya inis na inis ako sa sarili ko dahil mas ginusto kong mahalin siya, kahit na alam kong tatrayduhin at iiwan niya ako. Fvk.Sobrang busy naman ako sa pagtatrabaho. At halos hindi na ako umuwi sa condo ko para lang tapusin ang mga kailangang gawin. Habang busy ako sa pagre-review ng mga documents about the new ship, “Urania” ay may kumatok sa pintuan ng opisina ko. Hindi ko na nilingon iyon dahil alam kong si Agatha lang naman o kaya mga kapatid ko. Bumukas ang pintuan at pumasok si Mel na nakanguso.“Ningunguso mo?” Pagmamaldita ko sa kapatid ko.Tumawa naman siya at komportableng humiga sa sofa ng

Mabilis lumipas ang araw, mas lalo kaming na-busy dahil ilang araw na lang ay maglalayag na ang Urania, from Europe to Asia.Pero habang lumilipas ang araw ay mas lalo lang lumalala ang sitwasyon ko. I can’t even eat a proper meat because of the smell. Lahat na lang ay naiisuka ko. And any minute, I would fall asleep as if I didn’t have a long sleep last night. And this is frustrating me!May mga pagkain akong gustong kainin, pero allergic ako lalo na sa mga seafoods, at dahil doon, nakahalata si Mommy at Kleio. My whole body was trembling when Kleio kept asking about my pregnancy. Panganay si Cali, pero mas matindi si Kleio kung magalit. If Cali is soft and free, that wants us to do what we want, she’s the opposite. Si Kleio itong kumbaga tumatayong nanay namin, simula nang lumipat ng London si Cali. It’s Kleio who hold us together, to avoid such mistakes and trouble, because we all know how our dad gets mad once get into trouble.They didn’t tell dad, but mom deployed some men for

When I made sure that Josh was safe, I immediately flew to Miami, leaving everything behind—even my dad’s death.Meredith doesn’t want me to go, since the head of the Luchesse Family is now dead, there will be chaos. Of course, they want us down and now that my father is gone, they’re rushing me to be the next head of the Luchesse Family—to stabilize and to strengthen our family.But I have no plan to rebuild what is now lost. I’m done. I don’t want to live in a life where my future family’s life is at risk.I arrived in Miami and there, I found my Adeline—yet I have no plan on getting near her—she might be in more danger if I do.I watched her every move, how she smiled at everyone, how she talked, and what pained me the most—she’s still doing it—having sex with anyone.Sobrang kumikirot ang puso ko sa tuwing makikita ko siyang may kahalikang iba, na dapat ako iyon. Na dapat ako ang nasa tabi niya—but how? When I chose to break her heart after claiming her.“Eros! You can’t protect h

ERATO ADELINE DEVINNapapikit ako nang makita kong gumalaw si Josh. Ilang sandali lang ay naramdaman ko ang pag-alis ng kanyang ulo sa kama at naramdaman ang titig niya sa’kin.I didn’t move and faked my sleep. Bigla namang humaplos sa puso ko ang kirot nang hawakan ni Josh ang kamay ko at magsimula siyang magsalita.“I’m sorry if I hurt you, Adeline. I’m sorry for being a selfish jerk who wants nothing but you, that I forgot about your happiness,” napahinto siya at nilaro ang mga kamay ko. Ilang sandali lang ay naramdaman ko ang pagdampi ng kanyang labi roon. “I just loved you so much that I can’t let you go—I won’t let you go, so Adeline,” muli itong napahinto.Pinipigilan kong umiyak dahil ayokong malaman niyang gising ako at nakikinig sa kanya, pero sobrang kumikirot ang puso ko sa bawat salitang binibitawan niya. Napakasakit. Sobrang sakit. Na hanggang sa ngayon ay nagkakasakitan pa rin kaming dalawa. Kailan kaya kami sasaya?I don’t know. I really don’t know. Sobrang magulo ang
