"How are you feeling, Nay?" I gazed at her with concern. Brielle hadn't shared the truth about yesterday's events, and I learned about it only from Nay Belen.

"Okay lang, dong. I'm good, oi. Why worried? I was having fun there, you know." Humalakhak si Nanay at napangiti ako.

"Nag-alala ako, Nay. . . You are no longer young to wander around on your own. So, please be very careful." I gave her a quick hug.

"Oo naman. . . Hindi ko pa pwedeng iwan si Brielle ano." She smirked at Brielle,

    Charm.I don't know how to respond to him. I feel numb at the moment, and everything around me is overwhelming."Why did you hide? Why did you run away from me? Hindi ba nangako ka sa akin, Charmie? You and I, we promised. Why lie?"Nagpaliwanag siya. Sa pagkakaintindi ko ay walang kasalanan si Bryce noon. Wala siyang alam, at ako ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng ito."Charmie," his eyes darkened because I did not respond.Nagpipigil siya dahil hindi ako makasagot sa lahat ng mga tanong niya."I just followed their instructions. I had no choice. Papa… he was ambushed. They attacked him, and he nearly died on the spot. I wanted to call you and ask for your help, but before I could do that, I was instructed not to contact you.""What?" he looks at me, taunting.That was all in the past. Pinangako ko noon, na kung sakaling magtagpo man ang landas namin ay sasabihin ko ang totoo alang-alang kay Cianna."Hindi ako naniwala, dahil alam ko na tinatakot lang nila ako. Alam nila ang bawat kilos

    CharmI was worried for nothing. Cianna is happy with Belen. I thought she'd be upset without me, but it’s the opposite—she's bubbly, chatty, and everything that comes out of her mouth is all about her father.She's excited about everything, bubbling with joy about what she has there. She got a lot of toys, and I believe it was more than I could offer."Masaya ang bata, Charmie. I will look after her, anak.""Salamat, Belen…""Okay ka lang ba? Mukhang malungkot ka?"Belen knows me well inside and out. I can't hide anything from her.Huminga ako nang malalim at saka pilit na ngumiti. Inayos kong mabilis ang buhok ko dahil nilipad ito ng hangin."Nasa isla ka? Mukhang…"Inalis ko agad ang camera sa bahaging pamilyar kay Manang."Teka nga… sa isla mo 'yan, ah? Nandiyaan ka? Tama ba sa ako?"Ngumiti akong kaunti. Kahit saang angulo ko nga naman ilagay ang camera, alam na alam ni Manang ito.Lumaki ako rito sa isla at sa bawat sulok nito ay pamilyar na kay Manang. Walang nagbago. Walang bi

    Bryce."I love you, baby. You trust me, right?" I looked at my beautiful child, and she nodded."I trust you, daddy. Work well, okay? Don't worry about me. I have Nanay Belen with me." She hugs me right away.Hapon ng gabi kahapon dumating si Manang Belen. Tinawagan ko siya at kinausap ko siya nang maayos. She understood right away and agreed to look after Cianna for me. She arrived yesterday. Mason and the rest of them picked her.Manang Belen told me what had really happened with Charmie. She did not expect that it would happen to Charmie. Let alone what happened to her father and their business.Marami na raw kaaway ang papa ni Charmie noon pa. Mga kakompetensya sa negosyo at ang iba ay mga taong may utang sa ama niya.I didn’t investigate Charmie’s father’s business because I was too focused on my own goals. I wanted to achieve something significant so I could be independent from my father’s influence. It was challenging. Although I had made a name for myself, it was still not en

    CharmUltimately, I want to see him, talk to him, and explain my side. He agreed to this and told me that someone would pick me up at 10 AM.Alas nuwebe pa lang, handa na ako. Hindi na bago sa akin ito, dahil alam na ni Bryce kung saan kami nakatira ngayon.Pabalik-balik ang lakad ko habang naghihintay sa susundo sa akin. Hindi ako mapakali at sa tuwing tinatawagan ko ang cell phone ni Bryce, ay walang sagot ito, unattended ulit.Naalerto na lang ako nang may sasakyang huminto sa tapat ng gate. Dali-dali kong inayos ang sarili ko at saka lumabas na. Sinalubong agad ako ng bodyguard namin na si Carmello. Sinabi ko ito sa kanya ito at alam niya na may hinihintay ako."Nandito na po ang sundo ninyo, Miss Charm. Susundan ko po ba kayo?"Nahinto akong saglit at saka napatitig kay Carmello. He looks worried."I will secretly follow you, Miss Charm. Just to be safe.""Okay…" I nodded.Pumasok agad ako sa itim na van. May dalawang tao na sa loob, kasama ang driver. May divider sa bandang hara

    CharmI did not sleep. I can't sleep. Who the hell in their right mind would sleep in this situation? Not me.It's almost midnight, and Bryce's cellphone is still unattended. I'm going crazy. I can't hear my child's voice. I feel like I'm going insane."Cianna..." I exhaled slowly, my gaze fixed on the dark clouds above.Hindi ako makatulog, kaya heto, nasa labas ako ng balkonahe ng kwarto. Ang dami ko nang iniisip at hindi ko pa rin binitawan ang cellphone ko, hanggang sa nagtipa na ako ng mensahe para kay Bryce.I never sent him a message because I ended up calling. However, every time I call, my calls go unanswered.Me to Bryce: Bryce, please let me see Cianna. I can't sleep. Mababaliw ako sa kakaisip.Napabuntong-hininga ako at saka pinikit ko ulit ang mga mata ko.I redialed the number again, and still, it's unattended.Talagang wala siyang plano na sagutin ako? Ba't ba ang lupit niya?Nag-vibrate ang cellphone ko at mabilis kong binasa ito. Galing kay Bryce. Nag-reply siya!Th

    CharmHow the hell did he manage to find us? What the hell?"What do you want?" I gritted my teeth as I held my breath.Talo na ako. Hindi ko ito inaasahan. Wala sa isip ko na gagawin niya ito sa akin. Kailan ba sila nagkakilala ni Cianna? Ba't hindi ko napansin? Ba't walang sinabi si Cianna sa akin?Hang on…'I don't want to go to Hong Kong Disneyland, Mommy, because I already found my Disneyland here!'Naalala ko ang sinabi sa akin ni Cianna noong nakaraang linggo pa. Kaya ba ayaw na niyang pumunta sa Disneyland sa Hong Kong dahil nakilala na niya ang ama niya?What the hell."Ano ang gusto mo!?" I asked again because he went quite out of line.I hear him chuckle. "You haven't changed a little bit, my love. Still tough as ever, like a tiger."Naningkit ang mga mata ko at saka napatayo na ako."Don't play with me, Bryce. What do you want? Where the hell are you, and where is my child?""Your child?" he chuckles. "She's mine too, Charm. Not just yours, but also mine."Ramdam ko ang p

    Cariena's POV . "Round and round the garden, like a teddy bear, one step, two step, a tickle under there!" Kiliti ni Deigo sa kilikili ko pero napangiwi lang ako. Hindi nakakatawa ito.

    Cariena's POV . "Move away, Pinokyo!" Matalas ang titig ko sa kanya. Nanlamig ako sa sarili at nanginig. Hindi ko maintindihan ito. Halos nilipad ko na yata ang pagpunta rito para makita ang kondisyon niya. Tapos si Pinokyo lang din ang haharang sa pinto rito? Huh, nagbibiro ba siya? Baka gusto niya

    Diego's POV . I safely landed at Porta Hell's tower. And from where I stood, I saw Cariena's private helicopter on the other side. Most of the clan here has their spot. It's a privilege to own one. But the damn black sheep Mondragon got the most significant possession. They can fit three helicopters
