."Xielle, did you know? I don't really trust that childhood friend of yours."
It's Samara. Hissing with her nose crinkled in annoyance. She's even giving Rylie, my childhood bestfriend, a glare. Di ko alam kung bakit ayaw niya kay Rylie but I can't help myself to laughed at her expression that kinda looks cute."Why is that? Mabait naman siya, di ba?" I told, asking as if trying to convince her with a bright smile. Currently, nandito kami ngayon sa football field nang academy na pinapasukan namin. This will be our last year in high school that why we're spending most of our time, lying above the grass carpet that covered the whole field. Nanood kami nang practice nina Jilles, our boy bestfriend na kakambal nang isa pa naming kaibigan na si Jules. Habang sa nasa hallway naman di kalayuan si Rylie habang may kausap na isang estudyante."Basta, nakakairita siya. Akala mo nKaugnay na kabanata

Exelle . . Nagkamali lang ba ako ng dinig? "Hindi pa rin sigurado hangga't wala pa ang resulta ng autopsy. Pero sabi ng pulis, posible raw na food poisoning ito from eating puffer fish dahil may nakita silang butete sa lamesa ng dining table ng kusina. It seems like Sam brought a pufferfish without knowing that its poisonous." Jules added. I stare at her, waiting to say some more pero bigo ako dahil paniguradong, yun nga ang sabi ng pulis. But for me, I think its not true. Why on earth, did Samara suddenly brought a pufferfish instead of a normal ones, tulad ng nabibili lang commonly sa market? Why didn't she even contact me after the last call we had kung may oras siyang mamili sa labas? *** "How about you go rest, Ms. Kim?" Narinig ko ang nag-aalalang boses ni Audrey bago nito iabot sa akin ang tsaa ng chamomile tea that she personally brewed.

Exelle . . "The scapegoat has been caught." I heard Dark's words from the other line. Scapegoat? "Wha~what do you mean by that? Is it really a murder?" I asked him, my eyes wavering as I watch the news airing on the screen. Hindi ko na namalayan na ibang balita na pala ang pinapalabas sa t.v kung hindi lang sumagot si Dark sa tanong ko. Wala akong pakealam sa mga balitang nasa t.v. Ang gusto kong marinig ay ang susunod na sasabihin ni Dark. "Stay away from Riguera, Elle." Yun lang ang narinig ko mula sa kanya bago nito putulin ang linya ng tawag. Tanging tunog lang galing sa cellphone at sinabayan pa ng boses ng newscaster mula sa t.v ang umalingawngaw sa buong kwarto. I stood there, blankly staring at my phone's screen as it turns black. "Alexis..." I murmured his name, wonde

Exelle . . "Did you really missed me?" Him, sitting above the edge of the bed, the soft mattress shook like stream when I tried moving, habang nakaupo sa kanyang hita. He only asked me one question but when I didn't answer, hindi na ito nasundan pa. Silence. Pinakiramdaman ko ang paglakbay nang kanyang palad sa aking likuran. Bagama't mayroon pa ring telang nakapagitan sa kanyang palad at aking balat, ramdam ko pa rin ang init nitong hatid. The moment he reach my lower back, his breath suddenly turned into a pant, at tuluyang inangkin ang aking mga labi. Grabbing the back of my neck with his free hand, making me closer to him. Like I've been possessed by something, tinanggap ko ito at hinalikan ito pabalik. The heat, the touch and the scent. Everything makes me shiver not until when the sudden voice of a memory flashes like an untuned music inside my head. &
EX Wife Twenty One (Part 1)
Exelle.."Is it you?!"Napalingon ako mula sa aking likuran at nakita ko ang galit na mukha ng isa sa mga members ng board of directors na hinuli habang isinasagawa ang meeting kaninang umaga.I just stare at her blankly while she on the other hand, was trying to resist the authorities from holding both of her arms. In reality, I couldn't remember anything about her, after all, wala naman talaga akong pakealam sa kanila.All I wanted was to clean all of the shits out of my family's corporation. And they were those shitheads I'm talking about.If I haven't realized it before, mukha silang mga blackheads na sumisira sa magandang mukha ng MON. Aside from that fact, my family's corporation is a group of companies and some of them, if I am not mistaken, already belonged to Hans, tulad ng Te Amo.While on the other hand, Alexis's company, the Alva Co.

Third Person's PoV . . *beep* *beep* *beep* The slow beeping of the phone echoed between the silence of the dim lighted room, where the only light that illuminates in the darkness came from the screen of the phone, the young man held on his left hand. He stare at it for a second, as its light reflects the dark orbs that wavered at the sight of the caller's name ID, before it finally went off, letting the darkness scattered entirely on every crook of the room. Silence. Humakbang palapit ang binata patungo sa harap ng isang bintanang natatakpan ng makapal na kurtinang kulay abo, na nakasabit sa magkabilaang dulo nang bintanang gawa sa salamin at ang taas ay kasing taas ng mga dingding ng silid. He reached for its linings and then grabbed it with force to one side letting the

Exelle . . It has been days that passed since the day that I started cleaning the whole MON, sa pamamagitan nang pagtapos sa panunungkulan nang mga tao sa itaas. Today will be the last at balak ko rin na umatras at ibigay sa nararapat na kamay ang MON. Nakalapat ang mga palad na nakatitig lamang ang aking mga mata sa labas ng salamin kung saan mula sa palapag na ito ay kitang-kita ang buong imahe ng lungsod. Tall buildings racing with each other to reach the sky. Faint sounds of wheels screeching and of a beeping vehicles down the streets. Naghalo-halo ang mga tunog na iyon at di ko aakalaing nasa itaas ako ngayon nang isa ring napakataas na gusali. It was the city landscape that every person would want to see even if it was once in a blue moon experience. And this is actually why this building was built by my grandfather since the very start.

"Bakit ba galit na galit ka, Alvez?" I asked him again but my smile seems to grew wider every moment not minding of calling him in his last name. Hindi ko alam kung bakit, ngunit nasisiyahan ako sa aking ginagawa ngayon.Am I teasing him too much?But I'm not done yet."Don't worry about that, Hans. Nothinh happened between us," tawa kong muli nang makita ko kung paano muling magbago ang ekspresyon nang kanyang mukha. I didn't know that he be like this dahil lamang sa isang simpleng pangungusap na inilabas nang aking mga labi, although, Alexis and I did kissed before. At wala rin akong balak na ibandera ang relasyon naming dalawa.Aside from that, I still have a lot of questions to ask. At saka, kung tutuusin, it was much better if I used my fist to teased him tulad nang ginawa nito sa akin noon, but it would be too much. At the very least, mayroon pa rin akong konsensiya at hindi ko iyon maaaring dumiha

Third Person's PoV..*pak*Isang malutong na tunog ng isang sampal ang umalingawngaw sa buong lobby, na nagpatigil sa iilang taong naglalakad at mayroong ginagawa na nakapaligid sa amin. Nakataas lamang ang kilay na pinanood ni Exelle ang eksenang siya mismo ang may gawa. Ang kawawang nilalang na nakatanggap ng kanyang 180° na sampal ay walang iba kung hindi si Rylie.'If you didn't come here and started this, hindi ka sana mapapahiya.' Ani ni Exelle sa kanyang sarili. Para sa kanya, hindi naman ito magiging kaawa-awa kung nag-iisip lamang ito nang naaayon sa ikinikilos nito. Dahil sa kanilang dalawa, ang huli ang kaawaw-awa at hindi siya, dahil si Rylie ang may kailangang alagaan na reputasyon lalo na at isang celebrity ang huli."Hindi ka ba nag-sasawang sugurin ako to show off your lousy act?" Exelle hissed as she adjust her slingbag na bahagyang tumabingi dah
