Twisted Fate

REID SIERRAOutside our room, I was really worried as Yasmir looked after Luxury, who had collapsed. The tension was thick, making me super nervous. We had a big fight just before she collapsed. Luxury said she wasn't ready to get married yet. She had dreams she wanted to chase before settling down fully. Her words kept echoing in my head. Even though I wanted to marry her, I couldn't ignore how she felt. I felt a mix of things: I was worried about her, I respected her dreams, and I was unsure about our future together.Luxury wanted to go to New York to become a model for a while, and it tore me up inside. I supported her dreams, but the idea of her being so far away for so long made me feel uneasy and worried.What if distance led her to someone new? What if she found love with another man and decided to move on without me?These tormenting thoughts gnawed at my mind, driving me to the brink of insanity. The fear of losing her, the woman I loved deeply and truly, was a heavy burden

CHANDRIA LILY LOPEZMahigpit parin ang pagkakahila saakin ng lalaki papunta sa kung saan."Ano ba, sir! Nasasaktan ako!" Sigaw ko, napapatingin na ang mga tao sa gawi namin dahil sa salitan ng sigaw namin."No, not until you apologize to my fiancé!" Sigaw niya. Hindi ko na makita ang mukha nito dahil nakatalikod ito saakin habang hila-hila parin ako.Bakit kasi mas malakas pa siya saakin! Nakakainis! Tulong, please! Ayoko pang mamatay! Hindi sa pagiging oa, pero mukhang doon din ang dating ko sa oras na madala niya ako sa kung saan."Sasama ako! Pero pwede ba bitawan mo ako? Masakit na ang kamay ko!" Sigaw ko sa kanya. Napatigil naman ito at napatingin sa kamay ko. Binitawan niya iyon, at halos maiyak ako dahil sa pamumula nito.Sobrang payat ko lang! At may tendency na magkapasa kaagad ako dahil anemic akong tao! Nakakainis! Nakakainis!Nanggilid naman ang luha ko dahil sa halo-halong emosyon na nararamdaman ko. Hawak ko ang pulsuhan ko at napapapikit minsan sa sakit."Shit." Rinig k

REID SIERRAAfter meeting that girl on the dangwa market, I brought her to my house to confront Luxury, saying that she's not my mistress or what. I don't know her. I don't even know her name!But that didn't convince Luxury, I know I hurt her. But she was too hurt for her not to believe in me. Akala ko ba mahal niya ako? We've been in a ten-year relationship, and yet, hindi niya ako pinapaniwalaan?Gusto kong habulin si Luxury, pero hindi ko na magawang hakbangin ang mga paa dahil sa sobrang layo na ng kanilang sasakyan.Hindi ko pa sana gustong tumayo nang maglakad ang babae palayo sa mansion. Naglakad ito papuntang gate, sobrang init!"Miss, I said, Hop in! I'll bring you back to your store." I said with no emotion.Pero nagpatuloy lang ito sa paglalakad hanggang sa makalabas na kami ng property ko, nagpalinga-linga ito pero walang dumadaang taxi dito, because this place is exclusively for Sierra only. Nasa kabila lang an

REID SIERRAAs I paced outside the operating room, each minute felt like an eternity. The sound of medical equipment hummed in the background, amplifying my worry. I couldn't shake the image of Lily lying on the table, vulnerable and exposed. All I could do was wait, my heart heavy with anticipation."Fuck, Reid! Can you stop?! Nahihilo na ako kakaikot mo!" Sigaw ng pinsan kong si Errol. Masama ko naman siyang tinignan ng mapahinto ako."Did I tell you to stare at me?" I furiously asked while glaring at him. Huminga naman ito ng malalim at napatayo mula sa pagkakaupo sa tapat ng operating room.Lumakad naman ito papunta sa pintuan ng operating room."Where are you going?" Tanong ko sa kanya. Huminto ito at tumingin saakin, "Sa loob. Sasama ka?" Nanghina ako sa tanong niya. Kaya ko bang makita si Lily na nakahiga sa loob, habang inooperahan siya?"Edi 'wag." Sabi ni Errol at papasok na sana ito nang pigilan ko.Sabay k

CHANDRIA LILY LOPEZLumipas ang dalawang linggo, at bukas ay may pagsasalong gagawin dito sa mansyon ni Reid dahil birthday niya daw. Kaya medyo abala ang mga kasambahay sa paglilinis, pag-aayos ng mga decorations, may hi-nire ding event organizer para maging maayos ang event ni Reid. Aside from family and friends, mga business partners niya rin ang dadalo.Tumulong narin ako dahil mababaliw ako kung tutunganga lang ako sa kwarto ko. Dalawang linggo narin kasi akong nandito lang sa bahay ni Reid. Ayaw niyang lumalabas ako mag-isa for my safety daw. Pero kapag kailangan kong lumabas ay may kasama pa akong security.Nakakainis! May mga nakatakas daw kasi nung ni-raid nila si Donya Gigi. Kaya baka balikan daw ako. Hindi ko naman kasalanan! Hindi ko naman sinabing iligtas niya ako!Matagal ko nang alam na illegal ang ginagawa ni Donya Gigi, pero sa kanya parin talaga kami lumalapit, lalo na noong nasunugan kami. Marami kaming kailangang bayaran non, lalo na ang pampasweldo sa mga farmers.
