View More"Elvis, please listen! I am sorry if we kept it to you. Ayaw ka lang namin na masaktan," Napa-ismid ako sa sinabi ni Shane.Isa sa pinaka-matalik kong kaibigan.
"Shane is right, Elvis. Wag ka ng magalit, let's just enjoy the party!" Josh agreed with Shane. He was Shane's boyfriend. I bitterly smiled. "Really?Ayaw n’yo akong masaktan pero tinago niyo sa ‘kin ang katotohanan. Honestly, are you that dumb to tolerate your girlfriend's behavior?” I grin. “Josh, you're her boyfriend and yet you're tolerating her actions, which you know is wrong. If you were in my shoes and you found out that your girlfriend CHEATED on you, what would you do?" I've never been this serious sa tanang buhay ko. Tumahimik na lang ito at umiwas ng tingin. Shane also did the same thing, I wasn't expecting her to be like this. Kaibigan ko silang lahat. Shane was my closest friend since high school. Yung iba dito ay kaibigan ng boyfriend ko. They all know me as a jolly, talkative, pala-tawa, mabiro na tao, pero ngayon nasasaktan ako. My friends kept everything to me, tinago nila sa ‘kin na may namamagitan na pala sa boyfriend ko at sa isa pang kaibigan namin. Ang sakit, yung sakit na di mo ma explain kasi parang andun na lahat lahat ng klase ng sakit. I am supportive, hindi naman ako mahigpit sa kanya,pero bakit? My chest felt so numb and heavy. My hands are trembling in anger. My jaws are clenching, shaking in pain,trying to avoid myself from crying. "Elvis?" Huminga ako ng malalim at kinuha ang aking bag ng marinig ang boses niya. Ayaw ko siyang makita. "I have to go, sorry for ruining the party!" I said. I don't know but I want to avoid him and I can't even look at him. "Elvis! Elvis!Listen!" Agad niya akong hinawakan sa braso. "Elvis,I'm sorry," He just said but he seems like he is expecting this to happen. "There's nothing to apologize about, Drake. We are over. We are done already!" I said. Walang buhay at emosyon akong nakatingin sa kanyang mga mata na gulat naman ang kanyang isinukli. "W-wait, what?" Naguguluhan nitong tanong. "Since the day you cheated on me, ibig sabihin lang nun, wala nang TAYO!" Durog na durog na ako, kagabi pako umiiyak dahil sa nalaman ko kaya parang wala ng luhang lumalabas sa mga mata ko. Tanging sakit na lang ang natira sa puso ko. Ang sakit ng dibdib ko. "Elvis? N-no! I am sorry. Please, don't be like this. I already broke up with Hanna," he said. And he expected me to believe his scheme? "Hmm..I am so sorry Drake but having you in my life is my biggest mistake!" Halatang gulat ito sa aking sinabi. I have to stop this. I have to end this. I have to break everyone and cut ties with them. Hindi ako pwedeng magpadala sa mga sinasabi niya. When I found out about them, mas lalo akong na durog. They celebrated their 1st anniversary sa araw ng 5th anniversary sana namin,but he wasn't there. Hindi namin natuloy ang anniversary namin kasi sabi niya na may pupuntahan siyang mahalaga, yun pala pumunta siya sa girlfriend niya while me still waiting for him na sana dumating siya sa place kung saan namin lagi sine-celebrate ang anniversary namin. "Elvis, I understand what you are feeling right now, but can you give him another chance?" His friends are indeed desperate about chances. The heck! I bitterly laughed at them. "Really? Does he deserve it? Do any of you deserve to be forgiven? A chance? No wonder, kaibigan kayo ni Drake. Lahat kayo magkakampi, lahat kayo sinungaling. Drake don't need it!" Lahat sila na na tahimik sa sinabi ko. "Lahat kayo ay iiyak.Lahat kayo masasaktan, lahat kayo mawawasak dahil sa PAG-IBIG na akala niyo ay kayo lang ang may alam. Na akala niyo ay laro laro ito. Tolerating a friend's mistake is your signature, kaya kayong magkakaibigan nag tagal dahil pareho kayong mga taksil!" Galit na sigaw ko. I know their secrets. They're a bunch of cheaters. "Elvis, wag mong idamay mga kaibigan ko rito. Tayo lang ang may problema.Pease!" He pleaded. Bigla akong natawa sa kanya. "Drake, we are already settled. I don't want to see your face, everything about you and also your friends kaya simula ngayon mag-kalimutan na tayong lahat. Five years, Drake. Five years tayong nag-sama pero ikaw lang din sumira nun. All I can say is goodluck about your life and love life!" After that I left. Dali dali akong sumakay sa kotse ko at pinaharurot ito. I want to get away from this place. It's suffocating. Ang lakas ng kabog ng dibdib ko. Nakakabingi! They betrayed me. Lahat sila alam pero di nila sinabi sakin yung katotohanan. They ruined my trust. Sobrang mahal ko si Drake pero di ko na kaya ang sakit. Kaya pala naging cold na siya sa ‘kin. Hindi na siya sweet. He never took me home and sometimes if I invited him for dinner date ayaw niya na akong samahan. Why does he have to lie? Kung pwede n’ya naman akong deretsahin na hiwalayan. Umuwi ako ng luhaan. Wala na akong kakampi, mag-isa na naman ako. "What time is it and you're still wandering around? Huh? Elvis?" Galit na bungad sakin ni mama pagka-pasok ko palang. "I'm sorry ma," medyo paos kung sagot. "Hmm…Kahit kailan talaga hindi ka na talaga maging matino. Useless!" sigaw niya kasabay nun ang malakas na pag sampal niya sa akin. Napahawak ako sa aking pisngi. Agad na na manhid ang pisngi ko at nag-iinit ito dahil sa lakas ng impact sa pagsampal ni mama. Tumulo ang luha ko sa sakit ng aking puso, hindi dahil sa sakit ng pisngi ko. I was cheated, betrayed and then pag-uwi ng bahay wala kang kakampi. Wala kang makakausap.Para akong pinatusahan. Bakit pa ako na buhay sa mundo kung ganito lang din naman mararamdaman ko? It's 12 midnight and I don't know kung ano nakain ko. I sneak out, dumaan ako sa window ng kwarto ko at bumaba gamit ang ladder na nakasandal sa malaking puno sa likod bahay. Everyone is sleeping kaya di nila namamalayan na umalis ako. I can't sleep and the pain is killing me. Ayaw kung mag-kulong sa kwarto at umiyak lang mag-damag. Gusto kung ilabas ang hinanakit ko at mag-pakalasing.BEAUTY AND THE BEAST***BONUS CHAPTER***"There is no bond greater than that of sisters." Winnie.AMBER.I placed the chrysanthemum on both their graves and so did Genie and Ivy.Miguel wrapped his arms around my waist while I comfortably placed my head on his chest as we all stayed silent.Grandpa told us Dad was buried at the same place we buried Mom.So I decided that we pay our respect since we haven't done that in a long time."Are you okay?" Miguel asked"Yeah. I feel at peace now" I replied..Later, we went home and I invited my lawyer as well as Chad.We brought some papers which I requested and I signed them transferring the house back to Chad.I also opened a trust fund for Genie and Ivy. I'd be depositing money in there from time to time to secure their future if in case anything should happen cause I wouldn't want them struggling in life.I h

Winnie.AMBER.Nothing can surpass the shock my entire being is going through right now.I couldn't stop staring at the Attorney that stood in front of me speaking gibberish.His words were already setting my body on fire. I would've cursed the weather but then I was clad in a bum short and sleeveless top so it can't be the weather.it's the fire of hatred burning inside my soul.Denisha really has some nerves I must say.And Miguel's expression isn't helping matters at all. Thank Goodness, I sent Genie to her room because I'm not sure I would be able to recognize my daughter after this."She said you're her sister and the only family she has that can help" he said and that's when I realise that this isn't a dream but reality.I scoff at that word "Sisters?"
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST***INSERT 32***.SEMIFINAL.AMBER(TWO DAYS LATER).I applied the finishing touches to my makeup and styled my hair. I wore an off the shoulder flair dress with gold heels.satisfied with my look, I picked up my clutch.I need to be at the office for an important meeting with the board.I'ts been two days already. I waited this long for the dust to settle before meeting with the staffs again.Grandpa promised to be there on time since he had something to take care of.."You look nice" Miguel compliments hugging me from behind. I smiled taking in his Cologne.I swiftly turned into his embrace."Why are you dressed? are you going somewhere" I asked"Yes" he said but I couldn't help but feel worried."Where are you going to?" I ask arching my eyebrows."You'll find out later" he said pecking my cheeks"Ok but what a
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST***.AMBER."Send her back Miguel""OK" he replied and the call got disconnected.I quickly adjusted my dress and walked inside the board room to take my seat..Denisha is on her way so I need to make sure she signs anytime soon.I'm so thrilled my plan is coming together perfectly.it was my idea to send her away till I get the papers signed.you see, I never underestimate an enemy. Denisha has been keeping tabs on me so if she's here the plan won't go successfully cause I have to make her sign them without reading them.."Today we mark an important day which is the coming together of two companies as partners. Myers Prestige And M.S Fashion World" Tasha announced and we all clapped."Let's not get ahead of ourselves, until we do the needful" she said and signalled her secretary to bring the papers while Maria did same, placing it on her desk in front of
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST******.DENISHA."Next time, don't try that or you will regret it" she said pulling my hands off her then walked away majestically..I was rendered speechless.I don't understand what's going on, I would have sworn that this woman is Bella but she's not.I really hoped to see that birth mark.I wanted to prove my suspicion right but nothing is adding up.she's up to something but what?I walked to Chad's office entering unannounced."I'll call you back" he spoke into the phone when he finally noticed my presence in the room."What is it" he asked, eyes on the PC but I know he's not working on it. he's just using it as an excuse to ignore me."I came to talk to you about that contract we're about to work on with Maria Sanchez. I don't feel good about it" I blurt out."And why is that?'"Chad she locked me in prison, so why would she wa
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST***.Miguel parked the car and I opened the door to step out.I'm guessing Genie must be asleep.We walked into the house and it was pitch dark. I held unto the papers tightly like my life depended on it..the lights suddenly came on and we found grandpa sitting on the couch with a huge grin on his face."Grandpa" I squealed running into his arms.he stood up to embrace me."Bella" he breathed out "I've missed you""I did too""How are you grandson" he referred to Miguel who stood behind us."I've been better. how was your vacation?""great but I miss work""Have you met Genie?" I asked pulling away from the embrace"Nope not yet. I came not too long ago" he said sitting down and we sat down next to him."Where have you been?" he asked after a brief silence.I didn't respond.I gave the papers to him and he took it hesitantly. He
