CHAPTER 3

NEVAEH's POV

“I'll get off here.” Sambit ko kaya agad na inihinto ng tauhan ko ang sasakyan niya hindi kalayuan sa mansion ng magulang ni Grey

Bababa dapat siya ng sasakyan para pagbuksan ako ng pinto pero sinenyasan ko siya na 'wag na tsaka 'ko lumabas sa kotse niya.

“Shall I wait for you, master?” Umiling ako nang ibaba niya ang tinted glass ng sasakyan at sumilip doon

“No need, you may go now. Thanks.”

“Yes, master.” He bowed down bago umalis at nagpakawala naman ako ng buntong-hininga bago nag-simulang lumakad palapit sa gate at nag-doorbell.

Bumakas ang gate at ibinungad ang isang g'wardiya na mukhang alam na darating ako kaya agad ako nitong pinapasok.

“Ija!” Bumakas ang galak sa mukha nang mama ni Grey matapos akong makita

She ran towards me like a kid at niyakap ako.

Of course, I didn't hug her back. I hates doing this kind of things after all. But since I can't push her ay hinayaan ko nalang siyang yakapin ako.

“I'm so glad to see you again. How are you?” She asked matapos kumalas mula sa pagkakayakap sa 'kin.

“Maayos naman...po,”

“Hahaha you don't have to be so formal to us. Feel free to talk to us comfortably.” Tila napansin niya na hindi ako sanay magsabi ng 'po' kaya naman sinabi niya 'yan and hearing those words made me sighed in relief.

Luckily, she noticed.

“You want to go inside?”

“Huwag na ho...You have somewhere to go to, right?”

“Oh right! I almost forget about that.”

“Narito ka na pala, Ija.” Biglang dating nang papa ni Grey dala ang isang paper bag na inabot niya naman sa 'kin at tinanggap ko naman.

Mukhang ito na 'yong dadalhin ko kay Grey.

“Kumusta naman ang relasyon niyo ni Grey, ija? Is he treating you good?”

“Ah, yes. Still the same as before.” Pagsagot ko nalang kahit kabaliktaran no'n ang pagtrato ngayon ni Grey kay 'Heaven'.

Pero malakas ang kutob ko na there's a reason why Grey is doing these because based on how the people's around him and heaven is reacting ay mukhang mahal na mahal niya nga talaga si Heaven kaya naman habang hindi ko pa alam ang rason kung bakit bigla nalang nagbago ang pagtrato niya kay heaven, I have no plan to let anyone knows of what's going on between us.

“That's great. He's truly in love with yo—EHEM,” Peke siyang umubo. Hindi itinuloy ang sasabihin nang marealized that it is not 'me' who's their son is in love with.

And yeah. You guessed it right. Alam nilang hindi ako si Heaven. Alam nilang kakambal niya 'ko.

Alam ng mga ito na mahal na mahal ni Grey si Heaven and since they are afraid that their son will be heart broken and might lost his will to continue living once he found out that Heaven abandoned him ay tumulong din sila sa magulang ko to persuade me to pretend as Heaven.

They know I am a mafia. Hindi rin naman lingid 'yon sa kaalaman ng magulang ko and yet they still asked me to do this pretending.

Troublesome isn't it? I have to protect Grey from my enemies who might soon find out that I'm currently pretending as a normal housewife. I have to make sure na hindi nila siya makukuha at magagamit laban sa 'kin.

I have to be extra careful dahil paniguradong sa mga oras na 'to ay inaalam na ng mga kaaway ko kung ano ang pinagkakaabalahan ko dahil ilang buwan na 'kong tahimik.

“Btw ija, bakit hindi mo sabayan si Grey kumain sa office niya? I especially made two lunch for the both of you. Sinabi niya kasi na he don't want to bother you to cook for him dahil nahihiya na siya sa 'yo for always taking care of him. We dragged you to this situation but we are really grateful to you, ija. Thank you very much for taking care of our son.” They sincerely said at natigilan naman ako.

Si Grey? Nahihiya na sa 'kin dahil sa pag-aalaga ko sa kan'ya? I secretly winced.

E' hindi nga kami nag-uusap. Hindi kami nagkikita.

Jeez. He's truly a great liar huh? He's also hiding from our parents the fact that we're not in a good terms.

“Ija?” Kumurap ako and nodded my head

“You're welcome. Mauuna na ho 'ko.”

“Ah, sure! Ipapahatid kita sa company ni Gre—”

“Hindi na ho. I'll commute, bye!” Hindi ko na sila hinintay pang makasagot dahil agad na 'kong tumalikod sa kanila at lumakad paalis

Bastos na kung bastos but that situation made me cringe.

Agad kong pinara ang Taxi na nakitang paparating at nang huminto iyon ay agad akong sumakay at nagbayad.

Luckily, I brought some money with me.

Minutes passed by at sa kasalukuyan ay nakatayo na 'ko sa labas ng kompanya ni Grey.

I badly want to go back home and rest kaya naman dire-diretso na 'kong pumasok at dahil kilala naman ng guard si 'Heaven' ay hindi ako nahirapan.

The employees recognized me too and greeted me with a smile at nang malagpasan ko sila ay iginalaw ko pakanan at pakaliwa ang panga ko. Nangalay iyon kakatugon ko ng ngiti sa kanila.

Jeez. Bakit ba kasi kailangan pang maging friendly ni Heaven?

Ngayon tuloy ay kailangan kong gawin ang kabaliktaran ng mga normal ko na ginagawa. If it's me I would ignore them and will not care to their greetings at all.

Tsk. I swear, that living this identity is giving me a headache.

I knocked on his office's door and sighed nang hindi siya sumagot. Instead, I heard a woman's voice. Móaning.

Hah!

Hindi ako makapaniwalang napangisi.

I opened the door and witnessed something that I never thought I'll see personally in real life.

Grey is sitting on his swivel chair habang nakaupo sa hita niya ang babae na mukhang sekretarya niya base sa suot nito.

They are kissing.

D*mn it.

I never thought that I'll be humiliated like this. In this insulting way.

Never did it crossed my mind that Me, who's feared by dangerous people will be treated like a sh*t by the man I can't even call my Husband.

I'm not Heaven. But this is so insulting as someone who's currently pretending as her.

“W-what is this?” I stuttered which is a part of my act as a wife who's 'hurt' by the scene she's currently witnessing.

Napahinto sila sa paghahalikan at napalingon sa 'kin ang babae na nanlaki ang mga mata.

“M-madam!” Gulat na gulat niyang sabi at akmang aalis na ibabaw ni Grey but grey stopped her at iniharap sa kan'ya ang mukha

“Don't mind her.” Sambit ni Grey dito at nawala naman ang kaba at takot sa mukha ng babae na pasimple akong nilingon at nginisihan

“What are you doing here?” He asked without even looking at me

He's looking at his secretary's face na pulang-pula naman sa kilig.

I secretly clenched my fist.

He really hates me that much huh? To the point of not wanting to even look at me.

Has he been doing this kind of 'thing' with his secretary?

Disgusting sh*ts.

“M-mother asked me to bring this lunch to you. A-anyway, you haven't answer me yet. W-what do you think are you doing?” Sambit ko kasabay nang pangingilid ng luha ko nang tugunan niya ang halik ng kan'yang sekretarya na kusa na siyang hinalikan

“W-why are you doing this to me Grey? K-kissing another woman in front of your wife? Have you gone mad?!” I yelled at him kaya naman inilipat niya sa 'kin ang tingin

His blue eyes has no emotions as he stopped from kissing the b*tch.

“Stop being dramatic, Heaven. Don't act like a victim. Don't act like you don't know why I'm being like this. Bakit nga ba 'ko naging ganito? Hindi mo ba talaga alam?” Naging matalim ang kan'yang mga mata

“Beside, you are my wife and that's just a title. That doesn't mean you own me so stop acting pitiful and just get out of my sight. You're disturbing me.” Malamig niya pang dagdag kaya tuluyan ng tumulo ang peke kong mga luha

“F-fine...I-if that makes you happy.” I put down the paper bag on the floor and turned my back on him

Agad kong tinungo ang pintuan at nang makalabas doon ay agaran na huminto ang kanina lamang ay walang tigil sa pagtulo na luha ko.

I wiped my tears away tsaka agaran na ipinaskil sa labi ang hindi makabasag pinggan na ngiti matapos muling mapadaan sa mga employees ni Grey.

“This is pissing me off.” I whispered nang makalabas sa kompanya ni Grey

Luckily, I don't have to eat lunch with him. Well, as if naman na may plano 'ko na gawin 'yon in the first place.

To be honest, I'm thinking of leaving right away once I brought him his lunch because I am sure he'll not want to eat with me too. But seriously, I wasn't expecting to see such a scene.

It doesn't affect me since I don't love him but....

“It's unpleasant.”

Pumara 'ko ng taxi at agad na sumakay doon.

I massages my temple nang kumirot iyon.

Things is getting complicated and problematic.

I almost show my annoyance earlier but it's a good thing that I managed to control my expressions.

Aren't I, a good actress? Crying as if I was really hurt, it's all thanks to Aunt Trisha (Tristan's mother) who used to be an actress before meeting Uncle Timothy. She trained me, Amarilis, Venus, and Hyacinth to act.

Anyway, I said those words earlier although it made me cringe 'cause I was trying to get information from Grey if why he's acting like this at mukhang hindi naman ako nabigo.

'Stop acting like a victim'

'Don't act like you don't know why I'm being like this'

Those words echoed in my mind. Now I am certain that there's an 'incident' that made him hates Heaven like this.

But what could it be?

Mas lalo lang akong nalilito sa kung ano ba talaga ang nangyari sa pagitan nila.

I already have a guess but since I don't have any evidence yet, I better find out the truth first to make sure whether my guess is correct or not.

I sighed.

Just what hell did heaven the b*tch did that turned Grey's love for her into animosity?

Tsk. Buti sana ay kung siya ang nahihirapan ngayon ay wala 'kong pake kung ano man ang nangyari sa kanila. But the situation now is different since I am pretending as her, I have no other choice but to get involve and know even though I'm not interested.

I shook my head. Better not think about it for now because there's something that bothers me more.

About Grey's secretary, who is she?

Naningkit ang mga mata ko matapos maalala ang ginawa niyang pag-ngisi sa 'kin kanina at paghalik kay Grey despite me, being there already. She's obviously mocking me because Grey ignored me and chose her side instead.

How dare her?

Does she thinks she's lucky for getting Grey's attention? She's being delusional.

She's unlucky because she messed up with me.

She dared to touch what I currently own and that can't be ignore.

Beside, the last person who smirked at me was shot to death.

Shall I also get rid of her?

Hmmm....

A devilish smile formed into my lips.

She started it so I better end it.

I'll put her in a place where she will perfectly fit.

How about inside of a garbage bag?

She'll look goods inside of it for sure especially once i pushed her down the dug grave, six feet deep.

Smirks.
