"What's with the face?" Ang tanong sa akin ni Ana nang madatnan niya ako sa aking opisina na nakabusangot ang mukha. "May nakaaway ka na naman ba sa kalye? Or is it your nosy neighbor again?"

Isang malalim na buntong-hininga ang pinakawalan ko. Sana nga ay iyon lang talaga ang mga nagpapagulo sa utak ko at nagpapakulo ng dugo ko ngayon. But no. It isn't. It's worse than those Ana had mentioned. And it's something na hindi ko na kayang atrasan.

My thoughts went back to yesterday, kung saan pumayag ako na makipagtrabaho kay Icarus. Yes, I agreed to work with him. And thinking about it now, hiyang-hiya na lang ako sa sarili ko. Ang lakas pa ng loob ko nang sabihin ko na walang makapagpapabago ng desisyon ko at hindi-hindi ako papayag sa gusto niya, ngunit sa huli ay napapayag niya pa rin ako. I was even so excited as I talked to him about my plans on how to make his garden beautiful, as if I just did not initially decline his work offer.

Ah, gusto ko nalang talagang i-untog ang u

  • HIS TO CLAIM   CHAPTER 14

    DIANTHAI didn't want to do it because I knew it would be rude, but I just couldn't help but stare at the three people eating with me at the same table.In a rectangular table, our sitting arrangement goes: Icarus in the middle, I am on the left side, while Ruby and Klarisse are sitting side by side on the right side.Yes, kasabay naming kumakain si Ruby and Klarisse. Don't get me wrong. I see nothing wrong with that. It's just really shocking to see because I've never seen or heard about rich people eating together with their maids at the same table. Kahit sila Ashton at ang mga magulang niya, they are good people and were treating their housemaids well, but I never saw them eat with their maids or even ask them to eat with them. And so with that, I had this thought that Icarus was just like them. In fact, Icarus would be the last person that I'd think of when it comes to this. But this scene right in front of me proved me wrong. Kaya naman talagang nakakapanibago sa akin ang tagpong

  • HIS TO CLAIM   CHAPTER 13

    DIANTHAJust like yesterday, the drive to Icarus's hacienda was quiet. And it stayed that way hanggang sa makapasok na kami sa hacienda at makarating na kami sa bahay niya.Again, Icarus was the first to get out of his car, at sumunod naman ako habang dala-dala ang isang malaking bag, na siyang naglalaman ng mga damit at mga personal kong bagay. I also brought my laptop with me."Let me take that," Icarus said nang umikot siya at lumapit sa akin.Gusto ko sanang magpaka-independent woman and tell him that it's fine, that I can carry my bag on my own, but the thing was too freaking heavy, so I gave up my idea of being an independent woman and let Icarus take the bag from me.I silently followed him as we went inside his home, where his two housemaids, Ruby and Klarisse, whom I had already met yesterday, were waiting for us."Magandang po, Sir Icarus at Ma'am Diantha," sabay nilang bati sa amin ng may ngiti sa kanilang mga labi."Magandang umaga," nakangiti rin na tugon ko sa kanila.Kl

  • HIS TO CLAIM   CHAPTER 11

    ICARUSMahigpit na nakakuyom ang aking mga kamao habang naglalakad ako. Kung saang parte ng bahay ako patungo? Hindi ko alam. I was too fucking mad that my brain had stopped working. All I know is that I need to put a distance between me and Diantha before I could say anything that would ruin the atmosphere, though it seemed to have happened already.When Diantha mentioned her longing and wanting to have a complete family, I immediately imagined a future of the two of us. I imagined us getting married and living here in my hacienda, here in my house with our kids. But my imagination was shattered into pieces when she said that the person he wanted to build a family with would be my brother.I mean, that was obvious. After all, it was my brother she was engaged to. That was the reality. But just because that was the reality doesn't mean I have to like it or suck it up. No. There's no way in hell I would accept that. I already made up my mind to claim Diantha, and I would have to die fi

  • HIS TO CLAIM   CHAPTER 10

    DIANTHAIcarus and I were both quiet habang lulan kami ng sasakyan niya, making our way to his hacienda. It wasn't odd that I am quiet since I don't want to talk to Icarus, but for Icarus to be quiet? That's the odd thing and quite suspicious as well. With how our conversation at my house went, akala ko ay patuloy niya akong bubuwisitin. But no. He was quiet at naka-focus lamang ang atensiyon niya sa daan na tinatahak namin. Don't get me wrong, I am relieved that he's teasing and pissing the hell out of me. Sadyang nakapagtataka lang talaga na tahimik lang siya. But oh well, whatever the reason is for him to be quiet, I should just be thankful for it. At least our ride to his hacienda would be peaceful.Surprisingly, the whole ride, which actually took longer than I thought it would be, was indeed peaceful. I mean, yeah, he has been quiet from the start, but I really thought that he somehow would break that quietness and would start talking from time to time, but nope. That did not ha

  • HIS TO CLAIM   CHAPTER 9

    Muntikan ko nang maibato ang aking cellphone nang matanggap ko ang text ni Icarus that tells me that he's already on his way to pick me up.It's been three days since he dropped the bomb that I will be the floral designer of his garden, and until now, I still find it fucking ridiculous that he told everyone about it except me, who he is supposed to have hired and will be working with. Like, what the hell?If I had a better choice, hinding-hindi ako papayag sa ginagawang ito ni Icarus. I have been doing everything I can to stay away from him, so why would I agree to a situation that would leave me with no choice but to be with him? But as I thought about it, and I thought about it really hard, I realized na hindi pwedeng balewalain ko na lamang ang sinabing pagbabanta ni Icarus.I don't know how that asshole's brain works. He's already been going after me despite me being engaged with his own younger brother, wanting me to keep betraying Ashton, so how can I be sure that he wouldn't fo

  • HIS TO CLAIM   CHAPTER 8

    DIANTHA"You don't have any business here now, so I think it's time for you to leave," I told Icarus as I turned to face him.But the asshole was so busy staring at my chest that he did not even hear me talking."My eyes are up here, Icarus," muling sabi ko.Thankfully, itinaas na niya ang kanyang mukha upang magsalubong ang aming mga tingin. A grin spread across his lips as he said, "What were you saying? Your breasts distracted me for a while, and I did not hear anything you said."I sighed exasperatedly and rolled my eyes. "I am telling you to leave, Icarus.""So we're back to a first-name basis now? What happened to Kuya?" Nakataas ang isang kilay na tanong ni Icarus habang bahagyang nakangisi. His voice was filled with mischief, an indication that he found the situation amusing while I was already on the verge of getting pissed.I just want him to leave right away! But with the kind of look he was giving me and with the way he was responding to me, it seems that he was thinking o

  • HIS TO CLAIM   CHAPTER 7

    DIANTHA"This is good," saad ni Icarus habang kinakain ang ulam na niluto mismo ni Ana.Yes, Ana cooked the food herself, which she rarely does because usually, we just order food and have it delivered to us. Ngunit ngayon ay talagang nag-abala pa siya na magluto, which means she was really serious and sincere about making it up to Icarus even though Icarus didn't know that."Thank you." Ana was beaming, obviously loving the compliment that Icarus had given her. "To be honest, I was actually worried na baka hindi mo magustuhan ang mga niluto ko. I should have asked you first what type of food you prefer. I'm sorry for that."Icarus immediately shook his head with a grateful smile plastered on his face, which kind of shocked me. I never saw him have that look before, which made me believe that he was not capable of having it. And yet here he is now, giving that damn smile, which seemed to only make an appearance once in a blue moon, to Ana.He said, "Oh please, don't apologize for that

  • HIS TO CLAIM   CHAPTER 6

    DIANTHA"Mabuti naman at nagkaayos na kayo ni Icarus," biglang sabi ni Ana habang abala ako sa pagcheck ng mga bagong dating na mga bulaklak, while she is currently making a bouquet na order ng isa sa mga loyal customers namin.I got nervous the moment he mentioned Icarus, ngunit hindi ko iyon pinakita sa kanya. Ang tanging palatandaan lamang na kinakabahan ako ay ang biglaang paglakas at pagtibok ng aking puso, which, thankfully, Ana cannot hear or feel.As usual, I made my voice sound casual as I responded to Ana. "Yeah. It was just a simple misunderstanding anyway.""But it did not look like it was just a simple misunderstanding. Seriously, the tension that surrounded you two that day was so heavy it was almost suffocating. Tapos ang tagal niyo pang lumabas ng opisina mo 'nun. Kinabahan nga ako. Akala ko nagkakapisikalan na kayo."I bit my lower lip. Oh, we definitely got physical, but definitely not the kind of physical Ana is thinking, and thankfully, that's not what she is think
