Erykah Sunshine.Tawang-tawa si Nanay habang kumakain. Nakikinig lang siya sa kwento ko at namula na ang mukha niya sa kakatawa."Nay, ano po ang nakakatawa?""Wala, anak. Congratulations! May trabaho ka na. May asawa ka pa! Ayaw mo ba?" Ulit na tawa niya.I rolled my eyes and shook my head. It's not funny, like how Nanay wants me to laugh at my misery, thinking that Glenn is an absolute jerk.Yes. He is a damsel jerk in distress!"Huwag kang mag-alala, Eres. Bukas na bukas iba na ang mundo mo. Malay mo, baliw lang ang amo mo, at baka bukas ay babalik na ulit ang dating anyo niya. Kaya kumain ka na. Malamig na ang sabaw."Napatango na ako at mahinang napabuntong-hininga sa sarili. Baka nga tama si Nanay. Sadyang may tupak lang siguro ang engineer na iyon, at baka bukas ay okay na siya, at siguro makakalimutan na niya ang lahat.Oo, tama nga naman. Itulog ko nalang ito, at tiyak okay na sa pag-gising ko.MAAGA AKO NGAYON SA OPISINA. Dinaig ko pa yata ang in-charge sa reception dahil
Glenn Mondragon.I know it won't be easy, but I guess Eres's personality will make it easier for me. It's better to give this contract to a stranger than to someone who knows me and my family. Eres is just perfect for the rule.My brows furrowed as I read my mother's message on the phone again. She reminded me of tonight's dinner with the family. They want to know Eres, and now I am left with no choice but to woo her again and make amends with her."The contract is simple, Eres. You will work as my PA, and our relationship at work is secret. There's no need for them to know that you are my secret wife." I started the moment I stopped the car and parked it in my designated basement spot. She looked at me in confusion, and I understood that."Ano? Are you joking, right?""No. I'm not. Come on. I'll show you around." I smiled slightly and stepped out of the car. Hindi ko na siya pinagbuksan dahil sa iba si Eres kung kumilos. Mukhang kaya niya namang gawin ang lahat. Nakasunod siya sa a
Erykah Sunshine.What the heck? Oh, my goodness!I can't believe I agreed to this type of agreement. I never in my wildest dream would someone, a stranger, for instance, come to me and offer me this type of setting out of the blue.Nanginig ang tuhod ko nang makalabas sa gusali na kung nasaan ang penthouse niya. Napahawak ako sa dibdib at humugot nang malalim na hininga.Wala na si Glenn. Nauna na siyang umalis dahil may tumawag na kliyente sa kanya. Babalikan niya raw ako mamaya at dito kami magkikita sa penthouse niya.I don't need to go back to the office anymore as he will not be around there. He doesn't want me to accompany him to meet this new client because he wants me to pack all my things and move them to his place.This is insane. It's too fast, but I have no choice. I know this is crazy, but it is temporarily the solution to my problem.It's been months since I left home without knowing what was happening there. I don't want to know about them because I know my stepmother
Erykah Sunshine.Nerve crackling. . . este, wracking.Nanginginig ang tuhod ko at sadyang pinigilan ko lang ito. Peke akong ngumiti sa mga magulang niya, at malamig pa sa ice candy silang lahat makatingin sa akin.I cleared my throat and glanced at Glenn beside me.Naghahanap ako ng kakampi, pero mukhang wala akong maasahan kay Glenn. Dahil katulad din siya ng mga magulang niya. . . malalamig sila.Maraming pagkain at ang sasarap nito. Pero hindi ako matutunawan sa gabing ito. Puno ng kaba ang puso ko at ang katahimikan nila ay dumadagdag lang sa pag-aalala ko ngayon."How did the two of you meet?" Cheska asked. I didn't expect that it was coming from her. I anticipated Glenn's parents would ask me that, but I was wrong."Uhm, we-we meet in New York," pekeng ngiti ko. Nakatitig ako kay Glenn, dahil siya naman ang katabi ko, pero mukhang wala siyang narinig. Panay lang ang pag-subo niya at ganoon din ang mga magulang niya."New York? I see. . . That's explained why kuya always go over
Erykah Sunshine."It's not Singapore but Hong Kong," I corrected.Napaigting ang panga niya habang nakatitig ng husto sa akin. Bumaba ang tingin niya sa labi ko."Okay, Hong Kong.""Yes," I mumbled and looked away. It was a minute of silence, and my mind was totally blank. I was close to telling him that we should stop this madness, but now? It's getting insane."Glenn?" Ibinalik ko ang tingin sa kanya. "Let's think about it first. I-I mean, getting married is not a joke. I don't know your plan, and I don't understand why you're doing this. If you are doing this to prove that you have moved on with your feelings from Saber, then don't do it. . . This is not right."Ayaw kong isipin niya na opurtunista ako. Oo, desperado na ako ngayon, at tama lang ang dating ni Glenn sa buhay ko para masolusyonan ang problema ko sa madrasta ko. Pero hindi parin tama ito.Marriage is sacred. It should be performed when two people are in love, which is not our case.He looked away and sighed.Gwapo si
Diego’s POV .What a beautiful day, baby, and bingo! My mind speaks. My mouth never stops chewing. It tastes minty and sweet. And yes, it feels like I'm floating on cloud nine while looking at my target. Using my Barret M82, sure dead my target will no longer have a heartbeat. "Huh, let's bring home the bacon, baby," I said silently and counted the numbers in the back of my mind. Fucking damn it! Malutong na mura ko. Uno, dos, tre. . . Fuck! What the hell!? Bloody lucifer! Nagkagulo agad ang lahat sa yate. The party was over, the target was lying and everyone was screaming. Then all the heavy security came, and the place was in chaos. Fucking dimwit! I swore in silence while dismantling my equipment. Mabilis ang kilos ko at sinigurado na walang matitira ibidensya rito. I hurriedly covered my face with black covering with my full black combat. Damn it! This is my mission. Twenty million effing dollars, and someone blew it up! Who the hell? That congested ugly face! I wil
Cariena’s POV.I walked like I'd won the Miss Universe title. I smiled wickedly and dropped the lavish black port bag I had taken with me.Nawala rin agad ang ngiti sa labi ko, at tumaas ang kilay ko nang makita ang mga tauhan ni Papa. Nakalinya silang lahat at nakayuko.They're in line like idiots in my way. Huh, mga walang silbi! "Good afternoon, Miss Cariena," bigay galang ni Edu, ang kanang kamay ni Papa. Agad niyang kinuha ang maitim na bagahe ko at napatingin siya sa helicopter na gamit ko.I lifted my brows and rolled my eyes while giving him a smirk. "T-that's not ours - " Awang ng labi niya at pilya akong ngumiti "Yes, it's not one of ours, Edu. Sa bobong mukhang aso ang helicopter na iyan!" Taas kilay ko, at nagpatuloy na ako nang hakbang. Pero nahinto lang din ako sa sarili at hinarap siyang muli.Lumawak ang ngiti sa labi niya at kinindatan pa ako.Oh heck! Ang pangit ah! Hindi ko type ang mga mukhang zombie sa harap ko! Ugh! "Drive that helicopter, Edu, and crush it,
Diego's POV . "That fucking lunatic! The bloody insane witch from hell! I swear, I will choke her to death and sell her body to the devil!" I repeatedly swore in the back of my mind while taking my gear out of my body. "The hell, Diego! That brain of yours is not working, man! What do you think you're doing? Why the hell you turn off that effing signal? Alam mo na iyon ang konesyon mo sa akin, at nagmamagaling ka? Huh, ang talino, pre!" kantyaw ni Morris. Umikot na siya at kinuha ang barret m82 na gamit ko kanina. He checked everything, and it was all intact. This means I did not fire a single bullet at my target. And that's a significant damn offense. Damn it! "Mainit ka kay Cariena at matunog ang pangalan mo sa lahat." My jaw tightened and I move my head in both sides. Uminit ang ulo ko at ang sarap magwala sa mga sandaling ito. That was my pure mission with a million dollars in the line. And just like that, that damn witch screwed it up! No one dared and messed up my mis
