THE WAR was just getting started. The tables had turned for us. The weakling turned into a powerful Mafia Lord Zillionaire Wife while the shameless demons who got the power before became weak and powerless. For the meantime, I just let the demons of my past run away, but still I wouldn’t let them escape from me, because I would chase them. I badly wanted to see them suffer in hell. I wanted to make them feel the pain and shame, because they deserved it. Nakabantay ang mga tauhan ni McKenzie ang bawat kilos ng Canlas. Nakalabas na si Dakota sa hospital at na-stroke kaya’t lalong nabaon sa utang ang mga Canlas dahil sa mga hospital bills at iba pang mga bayarin. Oras na mayro’n gawin na kakaibang kilos ang mga Canlas kagaya ng pagtakas ay do’n lamang sila gagawa ng aksyon. Hindi rin ako nagulat dahil alam kong marumi talaga maglaro ang mga Canlas. Bago sila magtatangkang tumakas ay binalak nilang ipa-kidnap ako pati na rin si Deus Paulo. Walang kaalam-alam ang mga Canlas na ang kanil
I FELT THE THORNS INSIDE MY HEART were finally plucked out. After the bloody war of my vengeance from the demons of my past were done, I could finally breathe and live at peace, especially that they were now gone in my life. With that, I began to focus on my family. ‘Finally, it was a new beginning for us now. . .’ While Derson and Jona Joyce’s children were under the care of the spy couple from the elite team that had no children after they were given by the dose of memory drug made by Madam Yeye. It would be the bridge for them to have a new life with their new parents that I’m sure would love and care for them like their own children. ‘Afterall, they also deserve to have a new beginning in their life. Alam kong malayo pa ang kanilang mararating sa tulong ng paggabay at pangaral sa buhay.’ Hindi ko rin kasi gusto ang huling pagkikita namin ng mga batang iyon. Naalala ko kung paano nila pandirihan at tawagin na halimaw si Deus Paulo. Ayaw kong gano’n kasarado ang mindset nila sa
I POUTED MY LIPS as my face flushed in McKenzie’s surprises. He never failed to make my heart flutter in delight. I couldn't help but to hug him tightly and be clingy as I inhale his scent which I really love. I really crave for him so much even more. “The Head Cook told me that you didn’t want to eat what was on the menu for today, Amore Mio.” he uttered while caressing my hair softly which made me yawn even though I just awakened a while ago from my afternoon nap. “But still I ate the food I requested, Amore Bambino. Hindi pa rin ako nagpalipas ng gutom, okay? Ang sarap-sarap nga kanina ng Special Palabok, Malunggay Pandesal at Pear Shake kaya’t medyo nakarami ako. Oh, I suddenly crave to eat that again,” ungot ko habang nakayakap sa kaniya. Nakasandal siya sa headboard habang nakaupo sa aming kama habang ako naman ay hindi umaalis sa kaniyang tabi. Gusto kong nakasiksik sa kaniya habang inaamoy-amoy siya. He chuckled, and kissed me on my forehead. “No worries, I would reque
I CRAVED for McKenzie even more as days went by. His body and scent were so addictive, and it was a temptation for me that I couldn’t resist. I badly wanted to ravish him like a delicious delicacy. Right now, I looked like a pervert gawking at him while he was topless revealing his huge wing tattoo from his shoulder and collarbones on both sides with an emblem of Accardi in the middle of his muscular chest, and only have low trousers which barely covered his v-line area as he had an important conversation through his cellphone with his mother tongue. He combed his fingers through his tousled dark brown curly hair with blonde streaks. I really love to look at his pair of deep-set cerulean eyes, aristocratic nose and thin lips that were well-appropriate to his diamond-shaped face, and his angular jaw had a five o’ clock shadow. His physique was big and muscular and so was his height. His aura screamed in power, authority and oozing sex appeal. I wished that our baby would look like hi
MY HEART FLUTTERED FAST IN EUPHORIA as tears fall from my eyes while looking at the result of three pregnancy test kits on the sink. These past few days, I felt something was different in me, and I had a gut feeling that I must be pregnant, especially the symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, mood swings and weird cravings. With that, I decided to take a pregnancy test secretly, and went immediately to the comfort room inside my office here in Casa Accardi. Mas gusto kong makasigurado na tama ang aking hinala bago ko sabihin sa kanila. Ayaw kong masaktan sila. Ayaw ko naman kasing magsabi agad hangga’t wala akong katibayan. ‘Two red lines means positive. . . I’m really pregnant. . . It was a huge bomb for us this new year.’ Sobrang masaya ako lalo na’t nagbunga na ang matagal na dasal at hiling namin. Paniguradong matutuwa si Deus Paulo dahil gustung-gusto na talaga niya maging big brother. Indeed, it was a new year full of blessings and surprises for us. I’m really emotional and
I LOOKED INTENTLY while tears kept falling from my eyes as I stared at the new monitor that was installed inside the clinic of the Casa Accardi. All of the equipment needed by Dra. Yureka to monitor Girly and I’s pregnancy were complete here, so we don’t need to go to another clinic or hospital. It was also for our safety too. Actually, nang nalaman ni McKenzie na buntis ako ay pinatawag niya agad si Dra. Yureka na mabilis namang dumating sa Casa Accardi. Gusto niya kasing makasigurado na maayos ang lagay naming dalawa ng aming baby. Ngunit nagkamali ako, hindi lang pala isa ang nasa loob ng aking sinapupunan ko. While staring at the monitor above, my little pea-shaped baby had a loud heartbeat that could be heard loudly in the four corners of the clinic. McKenzie kissed me on top of my head as he caressed my hair softly. It felt surreal, and completely mesmerized that finally our wish had been granted. “You were already seven weeks pregnant, Lady Jessa. The baby was perfectly fin
I SIGHED DREAMILY as I looked at the ultrasound pictures that I have on my scrapbook in my pregnancy journey. Time flew past, and I’m already now on my seventh month of pregnancy, same goes as Girly who was in her eight months of her pregnancy. Gusto kong sabay kaming mag-celebrate ni Girly ng baby shower at gender reveal party sa Casa Accardi. Masaya ako na pumayag siya. Sobrang malapit talaga siya sa aking puso. At miss na miss ko na rin siyang kasama. Medyo maselan kasi ang pagbubuntis niya kaya’t hindi siya masyadong nakalalabas ng bahay nilang dalawa ni Consigliere Marco. Naiintindihan ko naman na kailangan niyang magpahinga muna pero hindi ko mapigilang maging emosyonal sa tuwing magkikita kaming dalawa. Kahit kasama ko si Cherry, iba pa rin kasi kapag kasama ko si Girly. Matagal din naman kasi kaming naging magkasama at alam na alam niya ang mga gusto at ayaw ko. Magkasundo rin kami sa lahat ng mga bagay. I’m dumbfounded and delighted to the wonderful news that Girly was c
I SIGHED HEAVILY as my heart clenched in pain on this day. It was the death anniversary of Auntie Sabel and my cousins. I really wanted to go to their private mausoleum to visit them no matter what happens, especially that I even dream of them. Kahit ilang taon na ang nakarararan, sa tuwing naalala ko ang nangyaring brutal massacre sa kanila ay hindi ko napipigilang maging emosyonal. Alam kong wala silang kalaban-laban mula sa mga demonyong iyon. Hanggang sa huli ay sinigurado kong naipaghiganti ko sila mula sa demonyo ng aking nakaraan. Ibinalik ko lamang sa mga demonyong iyon ang sakit at paghihirap na naramdaman nila. ‘Afterall, the demons of my past deserved to rot their souls in hell. Gusto kong masunog ang kaluluwa nilang lahat sa impiyerno.’“Amore Mio, do you still go there without me?” McKenzie asked for the ninth time which made me look at him with a smile.Nilingon ko siya pagkatapos kong ibaba ang hawak kong hair brush. “Ang kulit mo naman, Amore Bambino. Walang makakapi
