I can't keep my eyes away from kuya Rash while he keeps his eyes on the crowd. I can see the smirk plastered on his lips and I begin to think if he's just joking or what. But based from his expression, he's not just joking. Matagal ko na ring hinihintay si kuya Dash. Laking gulat ko lamang nang may sumulpot na naka V-neck shirt at pinaresan ng black board shorts. His hair was brushed up, different from kuya Rash that has undercut hairstyle. I agaped when my eyes met his brown orbs. Dash Ferrer, his identical twin, is here!Kaswal siyang naglalakad patungo sa direksyon namin at diretso niya akong tiningnan. Hindi man lang niya sinulyapan ang kakambal niya na katabi rin ni kuya William. Sobrang nabigla ako nang makita ko siya kaya hindi ako makapagsalita.I felt Elijah's arms let go of me before I felt him whispered on my ear. "Go to him."I nodded before I step forward. I was already a meter away from him. Hindi siya ngumiti o tumango. Nakatingin lang siya sa akin. And there's no em
We decided to go back to our room nang makita namin si Denver sa hallway. Hindi siya nag-iisa. May kasagutan siyang babae na sa tingin ko ay kasing edad ko lang base sa pangangatawan niya. Denver faced and pinned her on the wall. While I am just beside Elijah, watching them.“You know where 'she' is!” Tinuro ni Denver ang direksyon namin kaya nakita niya kami. Bahagya pa siyang nagulat bago siya tumayo ng tuwid at humarap sa amin na nakakunot ang noo. The woman grips on his arms as if she's afraid of us but recognition plastered on the woman's eyes as it diverted to me.Kumunot ang noo ko. She looks familiar. Her short hair really suits her chubby cheeks. She has dark toned skin and set of brown eyes. She's voluptuous and beautiful with the way she handle herself. Where did I see... U-huh! She's Carmienne's sister!“R-rielle?” Narinig kong bulong niya. Binitawan ko ang kamay ni Sean Elijah at lumapit sa kaniya. I smiled before I glanceed at Denver who's curiously looking at us.
After we talked with Sharmienne, Denver and I went to our respective rooms. My mind was preoccupied with this plan of ours. They want me to be the 'bait' to lure Jake out. As expected. This was also the one that Noah told me. But I feel scared to execute this. Even with that thought, I know Elijah will be against it. Earlier, he was refraining himself. He even left our room that's why it was me and Denver who came to Sharmienne. He was mad with the idea of his co-members but he can't do anything about it. He knows the risks if we cancel their plan. It will damage me or the other targets. Napabuntong-hininga ako kaya napansin iyon ni Denver. Huminto siya nang malapit na kami sa kwarto ko at sumulyap sa akin. "Sigurado ka bang mapagkakatiwalaan natin si Sharmienne?" tanong niya. Tumingin ulit ako sa kaniya at tumango. I was the one who told them about Sharmienne being our ally. She's perfect and fits the duty to be our spy. As of now, siya na ang magbabantay s
Naramdaman ko ang pagpintig ng aking ulo habang dahan-dahan kong iminulat ang aking mga mata. Matamlay akong nakahiga sa malambot na kama. Agad kong nilibot ang paningin at ni wala akong makita dahil nilalamon ng dilim ang buong kwarto.Naalala ko bigla ang nangyari kagabi. Nagsimula na namang lumuha ang mga mata ko hanggang sa humagulgol na ako. Patuloy na kumirot ang puso ko sa pag-aalala tungkol kay Elijah, sa mga kapatid ko at sa iba ko pang kaibigan.Biglang bumukas ang pinto kaya pumasok ang ilaw mula sa labas. Nakita ko ang anino ng lalaking kinamumuhian ko ngayon. With the sight of him, I feel my blood boils. He turned on the light making me saw him completely. I immediately glared as our eyes met. I gritted my teeth and he saw it. He was just at the door, observing me."Gising ka na pala," sabi niya. “I must say you have a nice sleep after what happened last night. The drug I injected on you, worked.”“You assh*le!” I hissed. Sinubukan k
The next few days, I always ended up being inside of the bathroom and feel like throwing up on the sink. There's nothing coming out except for my saliva. My body felt heavy as if I am having a fever. Lorecia noticed it that's why she's assisting me. “I-I’m fine,” sabi ko kaagad nang gumaan ang pakiramdam ko. Parang kakaiba ang aking tiyan. I'm not hungry nor what pero may gusto akong kainin. Weird.“Ma'am, isang oras na po kayo pabalik-balik sa banyo. Wala ka naman pong naisuka.”“Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit ako nagkakaganito pero huwag mo munang sabihin ito kahit kanino, okay?”"Okay, ma'am," sabi niya. "By the way ma'am, nagdala po ako ng lunch niyo." Tumango ako at bahagyang ngumiti sa kaniya. Nakita ko ang mga iyon sa bed side table. May kanin sa plato, Tinolang manok at isang basong tubig.I nodded and went to my bed. I eat my food while Lorecia is waiting for me. But when I tasted it, I almost vomit again. I pinched my nose and we
Dinala kami sa pribadong ospital na pagmamay-ari ng pamilya ni Denver. The doctors also examined us. Nawalan ng malay si Sharmienne matapos niyang malaman ang pagkawala ni Carmienne. Hindi pa namin sinasabi sa kaniya na maaaring magkasama ang nakakatandang kapatid niya at si Jake. Hindi pa sigurado si kuya Rash doon. Nasa loob ako ng private room ni Sharmienne. Nagvolunteer akong bantayan siya. And I saw Denver here with baby Carmina in his arms. Denver who was taking good care of her, can't seem to ease his mood. His eyebrows are furrowed while looking at the woman. I can see that he's also worried about Sharmienne. Dalawang araw na ang nakalipas pero hindi pa rin nagigising si Sharmienne. Napakapayapa tingnan ng kaniyang mala-anghel na mukha. Kitang-kita ang mga sugat sa braso at binti nito, may eyebag din siya sa ibaba ng mga mata niya. And her cheeks are turning purple. It looks like she was beaten before we hot out from the mansion. At sa loob ng d
As what Elijah told me, we visited their house where he grew up. Dito raw ngayon nakatira si Selene at ang tatay niya. Ilang oras lang ang layo nito mula sa Madrigal's Tower. Pero ramdam ko ang bahagyang panginginig at panlalamig ng mga kamay ko nang makita ko na ang bahay nila.The exterior has a modern and very intricate design. It has two floors with wide windows. The colors used blended perfectly—blue, white and a bit of black. The guard opened the gate and my heart started pounding faster than normal.Mula sa harap ng pintuan, nakita ko si Selene sa kaniyang yellow dress at may nakaukit na ngiti sa kaniyang mukha. Sa tabi niya ay isang lalaki na nasa early 50's na. Pumunta si Elijah sa gilid ko at binuksan ang pinto ng sasakyan. Iginiya niya ako palabas at pareho naming hinarap kaniyang pamilya.“Dad... Selene...” Tawag niya sa kanila pagkatapos niyang tumikhim. “This is Arabella Rielle Rivera, my girlfriend.” Magalang akong ngumiti sa kanila matapos akong ipakilala ni Elijah.Ha
Dahan-dahang tumayo ang kaniyang ina at pinunasan ang sariling luha. She nodded and just gave me a smile nang magtama ang mga mata namin. Tatayo na sana ako pero umiling siya sa'kin at tahimik siyang umalis sa condo unit.“F*ck sh*t!” Elijah was unstoppable. He punched the wall with his bare hands repeatedly until his fist were already full of his blood. “D*mn!” He cussed continuously until he knelt down to me and lowered his head on my thighs. Niyakap niya ang bewang ko nang mahigpit at ang sunod kong narinig ay ang mga hikbi niya.I covered my mouth with my right hand as I caressed his hair with my other hand. My eyes watered as I saw Elijah like this.Oh, Sean Elijah. I don't know how much pain you felt. It must be too much for you.“S-sean...” I bit my lips for the nth times so he won't recognize my stuttered voice. “Everything will be fine.”“I can't face her... I can't.”He keeps his head low and sobs. He's like this when he's badly in pain. We stayed like that until I felt h
