Chapter: CHAPTER 13Nagmadali ako na pumasok sa loob para puntahan si Philip. Nakita ko siya na nakain na."Philip!" tawag ko. Pero nahuli na ako ng dating dahil nainom na niya ang inumin na binigay ng isa sa maid.Lumingon naman siya sa direksiyon ko. "Bakit ka ba nasigaw?" Nakakunot ang noo niya. "Buti naman naisipan mo na dumulog sa pagkain."Napabuga na lamang ako sa hangin at napairap. "Aba't iniiringan mo ba ako, Heather Shine Villafuerte?"At buo ko pa talagang pangalan?"Ano naman ngayon, Philip Raven Kingsley?" balik ko.Nakatingin lamang siya sa akin sa 'di makapaniwalang ekspresyon. "Wala akong gana." At tumalikod na ako.Akmang aalis na sana ako nang hilain niya ang braso ko. Sa mga sandaling ito ko na napagtanto na tumayo na pala siya."Pwede ba? Tigilan mo na ang kamalditahan mo, Heather?" aniya sa madiin na tono na para bang ubos na ubos na ang pasensiya niya sa akin.Umirap ako at tinanggal ang pagkakahawak niya sa akin. "Ayoko nga."Huminga siya ng malalim at napapikit. Halata na nagtiti

Chapter: CHAPTER 12: ITATAKWIL KITA! PHILIP'S POVNapasuntok ako sa kama. Binaon ko ang mukha sa palad habang nakaluhod.Ano ba ang pinaggagagawa ko? Muntikan na.Humiga ako at napapikit ng madiin. "Hindi ko na pwede hayaan na maulit ito. Isang kalokohan ang mahalin si Heather, Philip."Kinausap ko ang sarili ko at pinipilit na kontrolin ang bugso ng damdamin. Dahil ayaw ko sirain ang pagiging magkapatid namin dahil lang sa nararamdaman ko na ito.Hindi na lumipas ang ilang minuto, napamulat ako nang tumunog ang cellphone.Tumatawag ang lola ni Heather. Ano na naman kaya ang kailangan niya sa akin ngayon?"Philip, speaking," bungad ko, nakahiga pa rin at nakalatag ang katawan sa higaan.Ilang sandali pa ay tahimik lamang siya na naging dahilan para mapakunot ang noo ko. "Hello?" Pero wala pa rin siyang sagot."Philip," sagot niya, "huwag mo na sa akin ibabalik si Heather, nagkakaintindihan ba tayo?"Napabangon ako sa pagkakahiga nang marinig ang sinabi niya."We already talked about this. Hindi ko pwede panatilihin sa ak

Chapter: CHAPTER 11: ANO BA'NG LARO MO, HEATHER? Tinitigan niya ako ng matalim. "Ano ang ginagawa mo sa kwarto ko?" tanong niya sa malamig na tono. Actually, hindi ko rin alam kung bakit ako nandito. Dinala lang ako ng paa ko. Kasalanan ito ng paa ko huhu. "A-ah tatanungin ko sana kung may ipapagawa ka sa akin. S-syempre first day ko 'to bilang personal assistant mo," pagdadahilan ko, nauutal. Kanina ay malakas ang loob ko na pasukin ang kwarto niya na hindi ko alam kung ano nga ba talaga ang tunay ko na pakay. Pero ngayon, hindi ko alam kung bakit ba hindi ako makaimik. "Sa kalalagayan mo na 'yan sa tingin mo may magagawa ka?" Na para bang lumpo na ako kung makapagsalita siya. Hiniklas ko sa kaniya ang kamay ko na hawak niya at pinilit na itindig ang sarili ng buong puwersa. "Ako akala mo sa akin? Lumpo?" sikla ko. Umayos na ako ng tayo at lalakad na sana nang maramdaman ko ang pamumulikat ng pilay ko, dahilan para mapatumba ako sa kaniya. "Ah!" tili ko. Mabilis siyang bumangon para alalayan ako. "Kita mo nga na hind

Chapter: CHAPTER 10: GINUSTO MO ITO, SHINE.Naglakad si Philip papunta sa direksiyon namin, dahilan para mapatigil si Stephanie at Tita Hilda. Binitawan din nila ang pagkakahawak sa akin. "Oh! Nand'yan ka na pala. Itong babae na 'to sinabi niya na kaya siya nandito ay dahila gusto niya agawin sa'yo ang kumpanya. Kaya iyan, tinuruan namin ng leksiyon," panguna ni Tita Hilda na proud pa. Dahan-dahang naglakad si Philip papunta sa kinaroonan namin. Hindi ko masabi ang emosyon na meron sa mukha niya. Lahat kami ay nagulat nang bigla niya sampalin si Tita Hilda. "Ano bang—" "Hold them! Tight," utos niya sa mga lalaking naka-black na suit. Agad naman siya nitong sinunod. Hinawakan nila ng mahigpit ang dalawa at hindi na nakapalag pa. "Philip, gusto niya kunin sa'yo ang kumpanya. Gusto ka niya akitin, tingnan mo nga ang suot niya papunta dito. Magkakampi tayo dito, Philip," pagmamakaawa ni Tita Hilda. Si Stephanie naman, hindi nagpaawat. Nagpilit siyang lumuhod sa harapan ni Philip. "Philip, siya ang nauna. Sinaktan niya kami d

Chapter: CHAPTER 9: TITA HILDA, STEPHANIE, TAMA NA PAKIUSAP! "Miss Heather, tama ba po ba ang narinig namin? Nagbibiro lang naman po siguro kayo di'ba?"Nakatitig lamang si Tip sa akin at para bang hindi siya makapaniwala. Nakakunot ang noo. "Kaya siguro bigla ka bumait sa amin. Tama ba?" aniya."Oo. Tama kayo. Pero hindi ko alam kung paano ipapaliwanag sa inyo, Tip. Hindi ko alam. May dahilan ako." Buo ang loob ko na sabi na walang pag-aalinlangan. "At hindi naman kaya intindihin ang dahilan na 'yon?""No...alam ko maiintindihan niyo pero...""Pero ano? Hindi kami worth it pagsabihan?" Inunahan na niya ako.Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako ang nasaktan sa sinabi niya. Hindi naman iyon ang dahilan kung bakit hindi ko sa kanila masabi e."Hinde, Tip. Dahil alam ko na pipigilan niyo ako. Ayaw ko na mag-modeling. Napapagod na ako na araw araw na ganito. Gusto ko na gumawa ng sarili ko na buhay malayo sa media. Ayaw ko na. Okay na?" Tuloy-tuloy ko na paliwanag. Hindi ko na siya binigyan pa ng pagkakataon na kausapin ako. Kinuha ko na ang gamit ko at

Chapter: CHAPTER 8: ANO BA ANG PAKAY MO SA AKIN, PHILIP? "Heath!" bungad sa akin ni Tip nang makita niya ako pababa ng sasakyan na para bang kanina pa niya ako inaabangan.Nilapitan niya ako at kinuha ang bag na bitbit. "I'm sure magugulat ka sa nandito ngayon," tuwang-tuwa niyang saad."Let's see. Baka kung sino na namang..."Napahinto agad ako nang masilayan ko mula sa malayo si Philip na nakatayo sa harapan ng stage at para bang may kung ano siyang kinukutingting sa cellphone. Kahit nakatalikod siya, sure ako na siya 'yon. Pero ano naman ang gagawin niya dito?"Wait. Wait. Wait," pagpigil ko kay Tip sa paglalakad.Nagkunot siya ng noo. "Bakit?"Ramdam ko na naman bilis ng tibok ng dibdib ko. Ano ba naman 'yan. Bakit kasi hindi ko alam ang gagawin basta nandiyan siya? "Feeling ko masama ang pakiramdam ko ngayon. Absent muna ako?" Hindi ko na alam mga pinagsasabi ko dahil hindi ko alam bakit ko siya tinatakbuhan."Ha? E nandito si Sir Philip. Kanina ka pa niya hinihintay. Pa'no 'yan?""Then just—""Sir Philip!!

Chapter: CHAPTER 9“It’s… a constellation necklace?” I asked, confused as I stared at the delicate piece of a necklace resting in the box. Tiny stars connected by thin lines. It's shimmering. “Yeah,” he said softly. “It means… the stars aligned for us. Not just coincidence, but something destined. Like how shooting stars seem random but maybe they’re not.”He looked at me with that same sincerity again. His hand reached out to gently brush some of my hair aside, then tapped the top of my head like I was a kid.“You know a lot, huh?” I chuckled, trying to shake off the sudden warmth in my chest.“Actually… no,” he admitted while laughing lightly. “My mom gave me that necklace. But I want you to have it.”I blinked one after another in disbelief. Wait… what?“Your mom gave this to you?” My heart skipped. “Saelas, I… I can’t take this.” I stood up quickly and held the box out to him, trying to push it back into his hands. “That must be really precious. Maybe it was something she shared with your dad. A c

Chapter: CHAPTER 8“Not everything is about you,” I snapped, rolling my eyes and turning my back on him.But then his voice stopped me. “Then tell me,” he said quietly, but firmly. “Why does it feel like what you heard affected you? When you found out I already had a fiancée? If it’s not about me… then why?”His words hit me like ice. I froze where I stood, unable to move, unable to answer, my chest tightening in ways I didn’t understand.Slowly, I turned back to face him, forcing myself to stay composed even though I could feel how deeply his words had affected me. “No woman would resist the man she wants,” I said evenly, “but no woman wants to be the second option either. I am the heiress and future head of the Sollivierre Corporation. The heir of the Luxmoore Corporation wants me—not as a second choice. So why would I ever settle for being somebody’s second option?”He didn’t answer. He simply stood there, staring at me, as if weighing my words or maybe waiting to see if I would break first.I turned

Chapter: CHAPTER 7I was about to walk away when he held on to my arms to stop me from walking away.“Hello? Are you still there?” the woman from the other line asked.I look at him and forced to smil widely. I tried to assure him that I’m okay even though it’s not. Even though I am breaking inside.“I just want to rest.”“Hello?”“Go on. Talk to your mom first.”I took his hand off me and then turn away. As I shut the door close, my knees trembled and my body weaken, enugh for me to lose my balance and fell into the floor.“What have I done? It’s a total mess. I just had sex with a guy that already has a fiance. I just fucked another woman’s fiance.”"Can you please open the door?" he whispered from the other side. "Reina," he called again, but I still refused to answer.It feels wrong. I let my walls down for him, even when there was no real reason and no clear string tying us together. No certain direction of what we're doing. "Reina, please." His voice trembled. I could hear him leaning against the

Chapter: CHAPTER 6I locked the door behind me. When I turned and our eyes met, a playful smile curved on my lips at his shocked expression."Reina, stop being childish," he said."Childish?" I echoed, tilting my head.I let go of his shirt and crossed my arms. I shoot him a sharp look.“What do you want?” I asked.“You just walked out and did not open the door. I think I’m the one who should ask you.”“You told me to do as I please. And I am pleased to sleep very well.”“Can you stop being sarcastic or be serious at least?”I rolled my eyes. "Then stop disturbing my sleep and go to your own room.”“How can I sleep if I know there is something that you’re not telling me?’“How can you say so?”“I just feel it.”“Look, if you did nothing wrong or you know that there is nothing, why would you be bothered by my reactions? maybe you did something, right?”“Ugh! he exclaimed, exhausted. “If there’s something I joked about that affects you, you shouldn’t have taken that seriously, okay? It’s not something a g

Chapter: CHAPTER 5“Hey, wait for me!” I ran after him.He stood before the door and looked at his phone once more. That drives me crazy and even more curious. Irritated and confused, I went to him and asked, “What are you up to, now? Can you just tell me what exactly is going on?”He raised his index finger to cover my mouth. "There's someone at the front door earlier.”My brows stitched together. "What do you mean there is someone out there? That’s impossible, okay?" I demanded, my chest pounding so fast I didn’t even know why."What do you mean it’s impossible? There is someone out there earlier and I don’t know who, okay? Maybe it’s just your friend… or your family’s colleagues," Saelas said."Friends? I don’t have friends. And I don't want one." I crossed my arms."A colleague, then?"I shot him a sharp look. "It’s not like this is your first day on earth, professor. Can’t you see the house is surrounded by guards? No one can just walk in here.""Then who’s that?""I’m asking the same question," I

Chapter: CHAPTER 4"Good morning." Saelas's voice was the first thing I heard when my eyes snapped open. I blinked up at him, his soft blur of a body coming into focus. He was leaning against the bed. There is a plate of food in his hand while wearing his teasing smile curled around his lips. "Wait… good morning? Did I oversleep?" I questioned, sitting up in bed. He smiled, putting the plate on the bedside table. "Can't blame you. You were too tired." His voice was tainted with mock teasing. That's when I remembered about my parents. I sprang up from bed. "Did they come already?" Instead of answering, he just chuckles. "What? They saw you? Did you tell them?" I asked one question after another. Saelas shook his head. "Not yet. They said they'll be out for a week. Have you forgotten?" His brows furrow in confusion. "A week?!" I exclaimed, raising my voice. He looked truly puzzled. "They didn't tell you?" "Tell me? Tell me what exactly?" I growled, scratching my head in annoyance. "They said t
