It was uneventful in the set. They were in the studio today and did not have to travel far. Katulad ng mga naunang scenes, she only had to do one take kaya naman masaya ang direktor. “I am treating you all to lunch. Please help yourself,” sabi ni Damien sa kanilang lahat. Georgina was quiet in the corner munching on some local peanuts. “Are you going to eat that?” Inginuso ni Georgina ang mga pagkain sa mahabang mesa. The crew was getting their food and exchanging jokes when she looked their way. Ang iba ay nakaupo at kumakain na. But before she could answer her, Damien already approached them. “Aren’t you guys hungry? I can assure you, it’s not poisoned.” He cracked a joke but Georgina smirked. “Now that you mentioned it, you should take a spoonful of everything.” Damien’s face turned sour but he did just that. He took a spoonful of each dish and ate. Kung may lason nga ang pagkain ay kanina pa bumula ang bibig nito pati na ang crew nila. She looked at Georgina and as annoye
Sa bibig nahuhuli ang isda, and right now— Vanessa was that fish. It wasn't enough that she was trying to defend her ex, she didn't want to tell him what happened while they were apart. This is not exactly the welcome home greeting he was expecting from his wife. "Are you going to tell me or I have to interrupt Luc's time with his wife?" It sounded like a threat but he had no choice but to do just that. "No! Don't do that." Nakailang iling si Vanessa at kahit naiinis siya sa asawa ay hindi niya magawang magalit dito ng tuluyan. "Then tell me." His voice was firm, and yet it was coated with gentleness reserved for just his precious wife. Sumalampak ng upo si Vanessa sa sahig at iniwasan na tapunan siya ng tingin. She acts like a little child when she's caught doing something she's not supposed to do. Alam niyang hindi siya nito lolokohin.He knew better now. "E galit ka na. Tapos kapag nagkwento ako lalo ka magagalit." Pasulimpat siyang tiningnan ni Vanessa ngayon bago tumitig sa
Hearing it from his wife's mouth made it even clearer for him that Damien has part in everything that's going on. Kahit hindi pa niya nakakausap si Georgina ay alam niyang pareho sila ng kutob. And what better way to find out the truth, than facing your enemy dead in the eye?Keep your friends close. Keep your enemies closer. And right now, Damien is his key. Titiisin niya ang presensiya nito kahit na walang siyang ibang gusto kung hindi pigilan ang paghinga ng direktor. "You promised not cause a scene," paalala sa kaniya ng asawa habang nasa biyahe sila papunta sa studio. Vanessa has a shoot today at katulad ng pangako ni Damien, ginawan nito ng paraan na gawin ang mga eksena na naroon ang asawa niya. His wife told him everything even about the actress she's been working with who was jealous of her. "I did.""Why do I have feeling you'll cause trouble?" kunot noong tanong ni Vanessa sa kaniya. Luc and Georgina had something to do today and won't be around. Ang ilang tauhan niya
A couple more scenes needed to be done but not until a month or two later. Georgina had a battle of her own, and so did Lucian. Nang ma-secure niya si Vanessa sa safe house sa Spain ay sinamahan niya ang mga kaibigan sa France at maging sa Italy pagkatapos. His father got out safely from prison and Camille did very well. Now he is free to move. Naroon pa rin ang pag-aalala pero nabawasan kahit paano. Georgina told him that Vanessa will be safe and he took her word for it. "Do you miss our home?" Pauwi na sila sa Pilipinas ngayon at doon na sila magkikita nina Luc. The couple wanted to stay a few days more with Lorenzo since he got stabbed. Although he recovered, Luc being the big brother wants to make sure Lorenzo would be okay. Lalo na at ito na ang mamamahala ng negosyo sa Italy."Yes. I miss our place," sagot ni Vanessa sa kaniya. "How's your dad?""He's fine. The cops are looking for him but he is safely tucked away from everyone's eyes. Now, we have to make sure you're safe so
Should he trust his words? This man has shown nothing but kindness to her over the years, but then a person can change in a snap too. And those phone calls from Russia were shady. Gordon knows something and he's going to find out whether this old man likes it or not. After dinner, they moved outside with the view of the ocean. Vanessa's sisters brought the four of them coffee and asked their father permission not to join them. Whatever they have to talk about does not interest the teenagers. Hell, he doesn't even know if Marie should be joining them. Mas maganda pa kung sila lang ni Gordon ang mag-usap. Lalaki sa lalaki. "This is a nice property," komento niya tahanan ng mag-asawa. When Gordon and Valya divorced, he married Marie in the Philippines making her the legal wife. "It is. We were lucky to have found it." "Must have costed a fortune," dagdag niya. Gordon was an average man. He wasn't rich nor poor. Galing siya sa isang disenteng pamilya at kung ang basahen ng pagiging m
All is fair in love and war. If this is how they wanted to play then he would gladly join the fun. It's not like he needed more excitement in his life, but he also did not want to take out the fun of making his enemies suffer in the end. He will make sure his face is the last ting they will see before the light from their eyes fade away. "You've been quiet," komento ni Vanessa habang kumukuha ng t-shirt niya sa closet. She likes wearing his shirts and not wearing any underwear these days. Mainit daw kahit malamig naman ang kwarto at may aircon. It has been a habit for her to take a quick shower before heading to bed.Pasado alas dose na ng madaling araw nang makabalik silang mag-asawa sa bahay nila at kahit narinig niyang mag-offer si Gordon na roon na sila matulog sa bahay nito ay hindi siya pumayag. The look on Marie's face was pure disapproval at hindi rin naman siya komportable na matulog sila roon. Vanessa could be quite loud and he was not sure if the rooms are soundproofed. "
Two months later..."Do you really need to go that long?" She wasn't happy that Kons need to leave her a week. Siguro kung dalawang araw lang o overnight, baka pa. "I'm sorry, sweetie but I need to do this." He was putting his things in a bag."Saan ka pupunta?" "I' can't tell you. It's confidential." "Ugh. Confidential my ass. I'm your wife. We can't keep secrets to each other like this." She was frustrated. Even if he goes somewhere, isa o dalawang araw lang ang itinatagal. Pero ngayon, isang linggo?! Posible pa raw na lumampas.Kons stopped what he was doing and walked towards her then cupped her face. "I'll be back as soon as I can. And you knew the rules— there are things I can't tell you. Now, be a good girl and don't get into trouble. You're wrapping up the movie tomorrow, right?" Tumango siya. "You'll have a bodyguard with you and three more that you're not able to see.""It will draw attention.""She will act as your new assistant and driver.""She?? Why can't Georgina go
She came home after the wrapping up the movie and it was uneventful. She felt tired but the letter her mom left caught her eye. Nalimutan na niya ang tungkol doon. Habang nagtatatanggal ng sapatos ay naupo siya sa kama at hinilot ang paa. She started reading the letter and with every word, she felt like there was a hole burning in her chest. Could this be related to the person who killed her? And the ones threatening to take her? Hinagip niya ang cellphone at tinawagan si Kons. Unfortunately, he wasn't answering his phone. She tried a few more times but she couldn't get ahold of him. "Shit!" Muntik na niyang maibato ang cellphone sa inis. The letter mentioned her mother's secret from years ago long before she was born and she has a feeling it finally caught up with her the day she died. Saglit niyang ipinikit ang mata para mag-isip kung ano ang magandang gawin. Should she bother Georgina? Her friend is pregnant and she didn't want to steal her joy. Her thoughts were cut short when
