"What?! What is he doing here?" I ask her immediately, I clutch my son's clothes as I embrace him tighter.
Manang Belen looked at me, hesitating if sasabihin niya ba sa akin, in terms of Lev's presence.I understood what her eyes has been meaning to tell me."Claudia!" Tawag ko sa Yaya ni Lev, who immediately came running with sweats in here forehead."Y... Yes, Ma'am?""Watch over my son. I have matters to deal with outside, make sure that he will not be exposed outside. Understand?" I told her as I unclasped my grasp from my son, who was no looking at me with confusion.His face were red but the curiousness and confusion were still there."Hon, Mom has matters to settle so I want you to stay here with your Ate Claudia and not go out, Okay?" Ani ko sa kanya before I kissed his cheeks and turns to the door to leave. "Grandma and Grandpa will be here, so stay put, m'kay?"I told him and turns to leave, but before I do so, I saw my son raises his palm and waves at me, with a smile but his eyes were flushed with worry.My heart melted as I flew him a kiss."Bye, Mom. Take care."I flashed him my sweetest smile before leaving, but when I was down walking the mansion's hall, I gritted my teeth, losing my smile.'Let me deal with that bastard! The audacity to try to step in my territory!"Madam, He's beyond the gates." balita sa akin ni Manuel, Dad's secretary.I nodded at him as I rode the car to the estate's entrance.I know our estate is grand but with the rage on me, I totally forget how far was it for me to arrive at the gates." Fucking hell! Let me see her! Bullshit! Barbara! I know you're here! "At hindi pa nga ako nakakalabas sa kotse ay rinig na rinig ko na ang nakakarindi subali't baritonong sigaw ni Keith.He was kneeling and was being restrained by Dad's body guard.Speaking of Dad, He was standing Infront of Keith like a soldier while mom was sitting in a portable chair while fanning herself.Did she just come here to watch a drama?"Tito, Where is Barbara? I know she's here! I know she's home!" sigaw ni Keith habang tinitingala si Dad.His face was miserable, with disheveled hair and ragged polo. You wouldn't even know it was The Keith of VREnterprise."God, Anong hangin ba ang tumangay Sayo at pumunta ka dito para maghanap ng gulo?" Bungad ko.Keith looks at me but immediately grunted when I think the guard tightens his restraints on him.Dad turns to me and Mom's eyes widens and with that look, I know what it means, 'Here comes the leading lady'. Guess she's really enjoying this, Huh?I give her a smugged look as I turn to Dad."Dad. I'll get it from here, Can you go back to the mansion with mom?" I said with the take-care-of-you-know-who look.Mom sighed and claps her hands twice, in just a minute there are now two maids who folded her portable chair and arranged it at the cars compartment."Ah.... I wanted to see the drama and all...""Breeiana!" Dad stop Mom's supposed complains as he smiled at me and whispers. "If that bastard ever hurt you, just order the guards. I'll take care of your mother."He then winked at me before he carry's my Mommy like a bag of sack, and enters the car, leaving our sight.Hindi naman nagreklamo si Mom, showing kay Dad lang talaga siya nakikinig.Now,It's just me, this bastard, six of Dad's most skilled guards and three maids for witness purposes."The hell are you doing here?"He look at me, making sure It was really me, for some reasons he reminds me of Lev, he blinks his eyes twice bago siya nagpumiglas sa mga guwardya, I then signalled them to let him go.He got up bago pinagpag ang polo at pantalon niyang puno ng marka ng sapatos, judging from the size.... it's dad's."Where is our child?"I frowned, Trying to hide my surprise expression."What do you mean?"He snickered as he look at me, he licked his lip.I felt a slight throb down my stomach but I ignored it."Oh, don't give me that,Barbara. I know you fucking know what I mean. Where is our child? " He said, emphasizing his last sentences.I tried my best to keep my demeanor, as I walked near him. I acted tough, to maybe make him vulnerable and to let him believe a lie."Do you perhaps means the child whom you ask me to abort?" I said with a rather demonic tone.I felt him stiffen, I backed down to see his petrified face but it .... wasn't what I expected it to be, he was.... crying, His face was dumb, and tears were falling in his eyes like a waterfall.What a crybaby."Do... Do you mean... Our .. Our child is..?" ang boses niya any para ng bulong, parang pinipigilan niyang mabasag ang boses niya sa harapan ko."Dead" I told him mercilessly.Even if I have to lie just to keep my son, Even if I have to be selfish to keep him for me, then I would.Napaluhod si Keith sa mismong harapan ko before he broked into a silent cry.Trust me, nadadala ako. I never once have a thought of revenge, I never vowed to do it.Revenge aren't just for the weak, its for the people who wants to reclaim their honor after being crumbled by the people who stepped on them.But I never did think of it.It's for the peace of mind and the safetyness of my son."Go home." I told him in a low voice, but he didn't budge."Hey!" I called unto him but he didn't even grunted or something.I got annoyed and afraid that Lev would be suspicious of me taking too long, I signalled the guards to drag him out.Hindi man lang siya pumiglas he just let the guards drag him, but he looked at me with dead eyes."Tell me, Barbara. How.... How did you get over our child's death?"His question froze me.What should I answer?"I.... Didn't" 'cause our child never died, I almost slapped my self when I stuttered in my early sentence.He look so tired but he smiled, it looks like a demon's smile though.Can't believe I fell for him with that kind of smile."Oh... I see..." tugon niya as he lowered his head, The guards stop dragging him when they've notice us talking.I was about to leave when I hear him shout."Then would you mind....."I turned to him."Then would you mind having a second child with me to appease our eldest? "I felt my jaw dropped and the people around us dumbfounded by what he said.Ha..... Ano Daw?"It all started with an affair" Crown started of but was literally cutted off by the sudden appearance of Cedric, Crowns brother, on my mom and dad's screen. He was, as usual, wearing his signature expression, the 'I don't give a fuck about everything but If it's gossip, I'm in'. "I don't know if I should listen to this craziness or what." He said with a monotoned tone and bored look. " I don't even know why you knew all of this when I'm literally older than you"Mom and Dad just smiled awkwardly as they try to shut Cedric's mouth up, But Crown just rolled his eyes and then smirked afterwards."Ofcourse, I'm the chismoso of the house after all" He said proudly." And also, why are you at Tita's? "Cedric just sighed and shooked his head, not willing to answer but then he settled down to listen to the 'Amazing story'."Our Grandpa's and Keith's Grandpa are friends at first. They do everything together, they were inseparable, atleast that's what she said"Everyone was listening attenti
Halloween's Specials(Sev's Point of View)Today is Halloween and I, Sev, Intends to scare my precious lil twin and then laugh at him.It was going according to plan and all..... until... Something happened.Someone was there yet I know to myself that I am alone.White.... White BoogeymanIt all started when I was just preparing for the equipments I would need for my plan, that includes the ropes and some stuffs I needed when..."Hey, Sev, Happy Halloween!! Let's go around the subdivision and go trick-or-treating." Leomendel, my friend told me, His father was Dad's buddy, So that's why he became my friend too. Sometimes, I wondered how and why did we became friends, His personality sucks. " No way! We ain't kids anymore, Leo, We literally aged 13 two months ago And as you can see. your dear friend here is busy. besides I have a plan for today. " I answered him while I was going through my plan one more time, Where do I have to put the rope so it won't be too obvious? Should I ask Dad
( Sev is banned)Before the day of their birth, Everybody usually expects a serene and perfect day, but....... "Sev! Just what the hell did you do to the credit card I lend you?!"SevTall and Masculine, Lev entered his brother's room, shouting."I bought a few bunch of stuff.... why?"Tall and petite, Sev, who was busy flipping the pages of a book he's holding, turned to Lev. He's studying for the upcoming final exam in the university so his study table is literally filled with a whole bunch of books. "A few?! 15 million worth of stuff isn't a few! What did you buy anyway?""Uh.... The not-so expensive car..... " Sev said in a low tone while he pretended to read the letters on his book that he's holding.Lev rolled his eyes. Really?! He's obviously lying."Sev.... did you buy another bunch of book again?"Lev saw how Sev flinched, knowing his brother's habits, looked at Sev with a smug looked." Okay. Okay. Fine. I did bought a few bunch of new books but it's only a few okay? "Lev
Crown? Why would he need Crown? They never actually met and......they don't know one another so why?Anyways.... Gotta tell Keith about this."So Matthias called?" Tanong ni Keith sa kin, which made me nod."He did called me, saying I should meet him up somewhere without anyone knowing. " Ani ko habang nilulunok ang sandwich na kanina ko pa nginunguya." strangely...... He doesn't want anyone to know but he's involving Crown. "What I said made Keith stunned. I was curious why would he be dumbfounded but if I must say it was understandable. Matthias and Crown never met so it's strange that he wants Crown to see him.And I doubt Crown would be willing to side with his us for now, I think he's patching things up with Sasha."Bat nya naman gustong makita si Crown?" I blurted. " They never even met one another.... it's very weird, don't you think so?"Si Keith na kanina pa malalim Ang isip ay umiling, he sat down with me and he suddenly grasped my hand.To my surprise, he kissed me making
"How was it?" tanong ko Kay Keith ng pumasok siya dito sa kusina. I left him with Lev and Sev earlier to give them some space, and I guess it's done."They're asleep." Narinig ko siyang tumikhim pero hindi ko siya pinansin at ipinagpatuloy ang pagpi-prito ng hotdogs at sunny side up na ipapalamon ko dito sa bwiseta ko."Why didn't you tell me?" tanong niya sa akin sa mahinang boses.I flipped the egg and hotdogs before I answered him. " It's 'cause you don't deserve them, at least that's what I thought two weeks ago."I just hear him sigh and sigh over and over again, he's somewhat controlling himself."You..But i didn't see them when I was paying someone to spy on you?"Spy?! Wait, What?! Why?"The fuck... Why? are you telling me that I've been snooped all this time?!"He nodded without hesitation.God!"Yeah." I tilted my head as I try to flip the egg to the plate, but I almost shrieked when an amount of oil almost landed on my arm. I felt a hand taking the plate and the spatula
"Are you sure you don't want to meet or even just see him from afar, Lev?"Sev probe to his brother who was busy building something from their toy blocks. Lev seems so serious with it that Sev even hesitated telling him about their father.To Sev's surprise, Lev turned to him with a wide grin plastered on his face." I'm 98 percent sure, Kuya.""e' paano naman yung 2 percent jan?"" I know you know. "Sev's eyes dilated and then chuckled.Such a baby!" Just say you want to meet him. "Lev continued building his blocks, Sev just sneered.Even thought he's a minute older than Lev, Lev treated him like he's the younger brother. The pros of that was, He love being pampered. The cons was, everyone thinks he's an incompetent brother for depending on his baby brother.But over all, He loves that Sev's and his mother's attention and affection is only directed to him and it only circulates only with the three of them.Selfish, isn't? But that's how Sev feels, Maybe he got it from his father?
