Twenty Three
Third Person's PoV
..*pak*Isang malutong na tunog ng isang sampal ang umalingawngaw sa buong lobby, na nagpatigil sa iilang taong naglalakad at mayroong ginagawa na nakapaligid sa amin. Nakataas lamang ang kilay na pinanood ni Exelle ang eksenang siya mismo ang may gawa. Ang kawawang nilalang na nakatanggap ng kanyang 180° na sampal ay walang iba kung hindi si Rylie.
'If you didn't come here and started this, hindi ka sana mapapahiya.' Ani ni Exelle sa kanyang sarili. Para sa kanya, hindi naman ito magiging kaawa-awa kung nag-iisip lamang ito nang naaayon sa ikinikilos nito. Dahil sa kanilang dalawa, ang huli ang kaawaw-awa at hindi siya, dahil si Rylie ang may kailangang alagaan na reputasyon lalo na at isang celebrity ang huli.
"Hindi ka ba nag-sasawang sugurin ako to show off your lousy act?" Exelle hissed as she adjust her slingbag na bahagyang tumabingi dah

Exelle..I scanned the papers regarding the ongoing project of EXellenne Royale. Basically, the estimated time of the construction was three and half years.'Two or three years, I think.' I thought before I finally placing the paper that I have been holding for a while above the desk, na nasa aking harapan lamang. Tahimik na pinasadahan ng aking mga mata ang mga ito bago ibinaling ang aking atensyon sa isang bagay na bago sa aking paningin.I played with the swivel chair I am seated, while eyeing for the bouquet of dahlia placed above the coffee table, set at the middle of the sofa set. A bouquet purely of dahlia. Nangangamoy ang halikuyak nito sa hangin nang airconditioned na opisinang aking kinaroroonan at tila isang estrangherong nakalapag sa ibabaw ng mesang salungat ang kulay sa bulaklak."Betrayal."I licked my lips as I lifted my body off the seat and walk to where the f

Exelle.."What kind of trick is this? A deja vu?"I just threw a bored gaze at the two people standing side by side at the place where there's no people at all. Sa tabi nila ay isang grass wall na isa sa mga bumubuo sa maze garden ng hotel. At dahil sa taas nang damuhang ito ay natatakpan ang dalawang taong nasa kabila ng mga ito.I stood here silently.Malalim ang tinging kasing lalim na rin nang gabing salungat sa hanging bumabalot sa buong paligid nang maingay at maliwanag na hotel.Feeling the cold breeze of the night as I tightly grasp a hold of the glass of red wine I brought with me, I sneered as I slowly blink my eyes as if I were to fell asleep. Well, I don't feel like engaging myself with the 'two' but seeing them here, intimately holding each other like that didn't help me at all and just makes me sick."Tsk. I knew that I've been f

Exelle.."Yes. It might be difficult to obtain it in just a three days," I answered back habang patuloy pa rin sa paglalakad. Bawat hakbang na aking ginagawa ay siya namang ingay na kumakawala sa bawat paglapat ng aking sapatos sa sahig.My footsteps echoed in the hallway but its only me whose here in this side of the Mondregal mansion as it is where my office is located."Then should we contact the Miller's, Miss Kim?" Mrs. Holland asked me back but even before I could answer back, my tongue suddenly froze as I halt my steps in a pause.Hindi ko mapigilang titigan ang pigura nito mula sa di kalayuan habang hawak nito ang isang bouquet ng rosas, sa isang kamay. His back carefully leaned over the cream painted wall of the hallway as he carefully sniffed the flowers he brought under his nose. Sabay na sumasayaw sa ihip ng hanging nagmumula sa bukas na bin
EX Wife Twenty Seven
Exelle..Emotions changes every single seconds.I may have like one thing yesterday, but if it was something that costs me a fortune or my life, what I like will turn into hatred. Magbabago ito lalo na kapag hindi lamang buhay ko ang nakasalalay.I've been chasing a life with peacefulness within but because of my past, I can't even guarantee a hand that could reach those dreams.Will it end somehow?Ngunit kailan pa ba magtatapos ang lahat nang ito?~"Lena Islands. Do you know where it is?"Of course, I answered him a lie. I told him I heard of it though in reality, I didn't know anything about it. Ni hindi ko nga matandaang sinabi ito sa akin ng aking mga magulang at pati na rin ng aking lolo. But is it just me or somewhere inside my head, mayroong memorya nang nakaraan ang hindi ko matandaan?"Xiellenna."
EX Wife Twenty Eight
Third Person's PoV.."Wow!"The young Xiellenna exclaimed when she saw the beautiful view of an island below the clouds where their family's private plane flew over. A crescent shape island with man-made extension parts. It has a castle-like building on the top of the hill, imitating a fairytale setting like those in fairytale books."Wow~wow~wow. Mom! Dad! It has a castle over the hills!" Excited na sabing muli ng pitong taong gulang na si Xiellenna bago lumingon sa kaniyang likuran at harapin ang kaniyang mga magulang na nakangiti sa kaniya. "Oh my~look over there! Amazing.""Our baby must have like it so much~huh." Lillian said bago nito salubungin ng yakap ang lumapit na anak. Hinaplos nito ng marahan ang buhok ng anak at binigyan ito ng isang halik. Her daughter giggled then nodded her head."Yup, mama. Xielle really like it. No, I mean~I really, really, re
EX Wife Twenty Nine
Exelle.."She's looking for Raellina," I took a sip of water from the glass.Rylie is looking for her twin sister, Raellina. And as what I remembered from Rylie before I lost my memories when I was ten, she told me she needed a heart. But it doesn't mean that if she successfully killed me back then, ay makukuha niya ang gusto niya.Because if I really died when she pushed me from the stairs, hindi niya na rin magagamit ang puso ko for transplant. And we're only kids back then. And currently thinking about her whereabouts, I'm not sure if Reallina is still alive.."Mama, she looks like Rylie!".I remembered a rough memory of mine, noong panahong una kong makita ko si Raellina sa Lena Islands. I thought she's Rylie way back then, but my papa corrected me about it and they even asked me to keep it
EX Wife Thirty
Exelle.."Mondregal, Howard, Vanidestine, Hara, and Wang."Tumigil saglit si Audrey sa pagsasalita ng mapansin nitong nakatingin ako sa kaniya at nakikinig. Nanatili ako sa posisyong nakaupo sa ibabaw ng kama. Nakakapanibago lang dahil hindi tungkol sa EXellene Royale ang binabasa nito, kundi mga impormasiyon tungkol sa limang pamilyang namamahala sa NCI.Audrey cough lightly as I spread a smile before nodding my head light."Mondregal is the family whose NCI headquarter is currently located in Lena Islands. A Philippine - European NCI family. More importantly, this is where our family, Ryans, work for," Audrey continued then jumped to another family. "Next is the South Korean, Wang family. If the Mondregal NCI HQ is working together with EU Intelligence and Service Center or the EU INTCEN of the European continent and National Intelligence Cooperating Agency of the Philippine count
EX Wife Thirty One
Third Person's PoV..Nanatili ang tingin ni Dark sa natutulog na pigura ni Exelle. Pinagmasdan nito ang dalaga habang siya ay nakatayo sa gilid ng kama nito. Nasa likuran nito ang tahimik na si Audrey, biting her lips nervously."I shouldn't have given her that video," Dark's ears itch when he heard his cousin spoke. Ramdam sa tono nang pananalita nito ang lungkot at pagkabahala habang ang mga mata nito ay tila ba nauubusan ng lakas at tahimik na nakatitig kay Exelle.But he just shook his head. "She still has the right to know what really happened to Samara," and that's the truth. Kahit anong gawin nilang pagtatago sa totoong nangyari, malalaman at malalaman pa rin ito ni Exelle. Aside from the fact that the video can be an irrefutable piece of evidence for Samara's death, isa rin ito sa iilang na ebidesiya na nasa kamay nila laban kay Riguera."We should no longer
