Chapter 55.1 Caine I DON’T blink as I keep my eyes on the balcony. Just a glance and I will gain so much more strength, but I was so lost in staring that I didn't recognize the blazing fist that had hit my jaw. I throttled back but I never fell. Nakabalanse pa ako. "You son of a motherfucker dumbass!" Jix angrily hit me again using the handle of his gun and that made my forehead bleed, but I open heartedly accepted every punch and every pain. I deserved it but I would never say sorry for what I and Nassandra did. Para ko na rin sinabing hindi ko gusto ang nangyari at pinagsisisihan ko. Even if Jix and his men decide to bury me six feet below the ground, I will never mind it now. I will never fight back. He's the father of the child I have loved so much as my own daughter but now the woman of my dreams. Countless punches landed on my face but I was numb. "Jix, tama na please!" Nikka came out running with an umbrella. It's just drizzling but still enough to leave their clothe
Chapter 55.2 Nass I WOKE up with dextrose. I almost forgot what happened because I felt so consumed. Kahit parang mga braso ko ay mahirap na igalaw. I remained staring at the ceiling. Mommy and Daddy were fighting again and they didn't even notice that I was already awake. I heard their voices just near the bed. "Nikka, please talk to me," Daddy pleaded Mommy. He's not mad anymore. He sounds so regretful. Did he shoot Caine that's why his voice was full of regret? I blubbered with the thought. I will never bear to see him lying inside a casket, lifeless. No. I will surely die in pain. My heart was pounding again too fast because of so much fear. Nag-sink in na ang lahat sa akin kung bakit ako nahimatay. My father shot the very man that I love. Gusto ko siyang sigawan, awayin, iyakan, pero para ano pa? I let my tears fall. “There's nothing more to talk about. Look what you've done to your daughter. She's overly stressed! She doesn't eat, she seldom talks, she always cries, she's
Chapter 56 Caine "I WILL give you a chance to live but you have proven yourself, Walker. And once you hurt my daughter, kahit patay na ako, babalikan kita..." Those were Jix's words before he pulled the trigger of his pistol. That made my tears fall not because I feared him but because I feared not to see Nassandra anymore. "No talking, no touching, no communication, no nothing. Prove to me that you're worthy of her love. No Nassandra until I say so..." he added. After that, he just turned his back. It was so painful for me but I didn't have any choice. I would have to endure waking up every day without her. But still, I got a chance to prove myself. That's the most important thing. Huwag lang naman sanang abutin na otsenta na ako dahil baka hindi na ako makalaban sa kama. Nassandra is still so young and sexually active; I don't want it to be the reason for her to leave me for some strong young men. Damn. Nassandra loves me. Hindi ganoon kababaw ang pagmamahal niya sa akin para
Chapter 57 Nass I rushed to the car when my performance ended. Yaya Dolly kept on following me until I reached the door. Damien opened the car for me but when hopped in, no Yaya after all. "Si Yaya?" I furrowed my brows at Kuya Damien but he pursed his lips and shrugged. "Baka nanlalalaki na naman," He tilted his head but I just giggled. I'm tired but singing is my passion. Wala naman dapat akong gig ngayon pero tinawagan ako ni Mr. Sia na hindi raw makakakanta ang vocalist ng banda dahil may sakit. Buti na lang tapos na ang exam ko kaya nandito ako ngayon. I have my classcards with me for the midterm and I am so proud of myself. Nag-e-excel pa rin ako sa school kahit na pinagsasabay ko ang pag-aaral ko at pagkanta. Another opportunity was knocking at my door, open na ulit ang offer ni Tito Royce na maging artista ako. Ayaw ko naman. He said he would talk to Mommy and Daddy. Ewan ko kung nag-usap na sila. "Bebe girl! Yeee!" Ate Dolly squeals as she reaches the car. She's carry
Chapter 58 Caine Damn! I started to walk forth and back inside my condo. I just arrived at 8:00 P.M., and directly grabbed my keys and drove too fast to see Nass, but when I was about to pass by that resto where she sings, her pink car got my attention so I stopped in an instant, and my jaws locked when I saw an asshole taking picture with my girl. Shit! May pabulaklak pa ang hayop at parang kilig na kilig naman ang yaya ni Nassandra. Huwag lang akong magkaroon ng pagkakataon at ilulublob ko ang babae na iyon sa suka. If only I could, I would hop out and grab that man's neck, and strangle him to death. Jesus! Delikado na ito. I can't afford to lose her. Baka mamaya ay mapagod na siya sa sitwasyon namin at maisip niya na magmahal na siya ng iba. God, what do I even need to prove myself even more? I just followed her car until she reached home. The garage was filled with different cars, mukhang may tao sa kanila, and I noticed Larrah and Yza. The sassy de Lorenzo girls were there.
Chapter 59 Nass I WAS still sitting on the couch inside the house, waiting until they finally call me for the dance, with Daddy. I feel so sad, at kanina pa ako naiiyak. It's so hard to pretend that I'm okay but actually I am really not. They're all happy. Sinisilip ko sila sa labas, sa may pool at nagkakasayahan na sila kahit na hindi pa nagsisimula ang party. Ang daming tao. I can't see their faces because they're all wearing their masks and the whole place was surrounded by cameras and bright beautiful lights. This is so deluxe and marvelous than what I expected it to be. This is triple from what I had during my last debut. Bakit ganito ka-engrande ang pa-welcome sa akin? Saka mas prefer na dito ganapin kaysa sa building pinagkakantahan ko? I don't want a party as big as this. But this is the official day when Dad will let the whole world know about his little girl. Matagal na siyang sinusundan ng media at ng kung ano-anong magazine na gustong i-feature ang unica iha niya at ma
Chapter 60 Caine I HAD been looking at her since the moment she walked out of the house with Andi. I was hiding behind our friends and my family, and the other deLorenzos. Kanina pa kating-kati ang kamay ko na mahawakan ko siya at kating-kati ang mata ko na makita siya. And like the first time after so many years, she never failed to amaze me. She was wearing a red tube cocktail dress, exposing a little but attractive cleavage. And damn! She was like the center of the universe that held a great force towards me, pulling me like one of the planets because of gravity. That's how I scientifically explain this kind of attraction between me and her. Too strong and made for each other, since then and now. Like the sun and earth, the moon and the stars, the clouds in my sky. Bulshit! I am being mushy again... My heart started to hammer inside my rib cage when her face was closely captured on that widescreen. She was sad, her beautiful eyes couldn't hide that strong longing, peeking o
CHAPTER ONECLARIZ NASSANDRA ‘NASS’NASSYThe day has finally come for me to meet him again. Ang laki ng ngisi ko. Daig ko pa ang clown sa pagkalaki nito. Wala pa man lang ay para na akong sumasayaw sa ibabaw ng ulap. habang nakatingin ako sa labas ng bintana ay mukha ng kaisa-isang lalaki ang nakikita ko sa asul na langit.Para akong nanginig sa kilig. Hindi ko alam kung kailan ako nag-umpisa na makaramdam ng ganito para sa kanya.Excited ako rito habang nakatingin sa plane ticket ko, na nakaipit pa talaga sa aking paboritong libro. This is my plane ticket, going to the most desirable place in the World. Ang tagal ko itong hinintay at inisip nang maayos.Who am I going to see anyway, at bakit ganito ba ang nararamdaman ko? My mother's adopted brother, not by papers but verbally adopted since they were kids.I haven’t seen him in a while, and that while means five years. I wanted to literally jump and yell when Daddy finally said yes, granting my request to study in Washington. DC. Hi
