Busog ako at masaya. Nagpahinga na si tiya at naiwan kami ni Morris na gising pa. Maaga pa naman, at alam ni tiya na sa bahay ni Morris ako matutulog ngayon. Kaya inayos ko muna ang lahat, para wala na siyang iisipin pagkagising niya bukas.

Mahigpit ang hawak ni Morris sa kamay ko, at panay naman ang ngiti ko habang tanaw na ang treehouse. Huminto kaming pareho, at saka dumampi ang labi niya sa likod ng kamay ko na hawak niya.

"I'll be missing you, Bree…" Humarap siya sa akin, at sak

    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

    Bryce"All good. It's all up to you now, Bryce. I will leave everything to you.""Thank you, lunatic," I smirked as I listened to Romeo talking in the line. He ended the call quickly, and I'm ready to take possession.Nasa loob na sila at nasa kabilang banda ang anak ko. I step inside, stern and firm. I know what I want, and I will take it with me today. There's no turning back.Bahagyang yumuko ang mga ulo nila nang makita nila ako. Pumasok ako sa indoor playground, at pumwesto ang iilang mga tauhan ko sa likod.My heart hammered hard when I saw Cianna, playing happily. The two staff members recognize me right away. They stand up and bow their heads halfway. They step back as I step towards Cianna."Mr. Bryce Mondragon?" Cianna exclaimed happily the moment she saw me."Hello, beautiful. How are you?" I bend to meet her height. She opened her arms widely, wanting to hug me."I miss you..." Napaluhod na ako at mahigpit na niyakap siya. I can feel my heart throbbing inside with so much

    Anastacia."My goodness, Anastacia. Mababaliw ako sa 'yo. Ano ba talaga ang gusto mo?"Napahilamos ko ang sariling palad sa mukha at napabuntong-hininga ako sa sarili.After giving it considerable thought yesterday, I came to an agreement. Diezel and the kids are traveling to Cagayan de Oro, while
