Chapter 2
I looked around, but Marco still wasn't there! Shit! I quickly descended to catch my bra if the water had carried it away. Luckily, Marco hadn't arrived yet! I would have fainted if he saw me half-naked! Since I'm used to swimming, I was able to retrieve my bra.
"Damn it! That scared me!" I muttered to myself while holding my bra up. My breasts were fully exposed, but fortunately, I was the only person there.
"Wow, nice breasts. Round and big!" It felt like my soul left my body when I heard a unfamiliar voice coming from somewhere.
"Wow, nice breasts. Round and big!" Until now, I couldn't get his words out of my mind, and I still felt the intense heat on my face and ears from embarrassment!
Who is that guy? I just saw him now, and it seems like he's not from here! He's too fair-skinned, as if he hasn't been under the sun! He even looks like he has foreign blood because of his height. He's taller than Marco and definitely not a local.
"W-who are you?!" My anxiety reached the sky, and I could only wish for Marco to arrive! I tightly hugged my chest with my hands to cover my nipples.
"Too late, I already saw everything," he said with a grin, seemingly amused. I almost cried in my current situation. What if he does something to me? He's so tall and he even has abs! Just like the guys I see on TV! Urgh! What am I even thinking?!
Is it right to fantasize about a stranger, especially in this situation? What if he's a pervert and does something to me? I hope not. Lord, help me!
"Kenzo, bro! Where are you?" My anxiety doubled when I heard another voice! He wasn't alone! OMG! OMG! What if they gang rape me?! I instinctively stepped back from where I was standing, and this time, I couldn't hold back my tears. My vision became blurry because of my tears.
He just stared at my face, and I couldn't read any emotion from his expression. The cold water mixed with fear made me tremble all over.
"Bro, you're just here!" I was about to see the face of the guy who spoke earlier, but the pervert in front of me suddenly moved, blocking my view! He faced his companion.
"Don't fvcking move!" he shouted at the person searching for him. I don't know if it's just my imagination or if he's really angry. I bit my lower lip, and even though I knew he wasn't talking to me, I couldn't move because of fear.
"What—" He didn't even finish what he was about to say.
"Just... just fvcking get out of here and wait for me at the mansion." I couldn't see the reaction of his companion, and I didn't understand their conversation. So, I didn't react.
"Fvck you!" That was the last thing I heard from one of the men.
"Are you done dressing up?" he asked me in a cold tone while still facing away. Well, it was obvious from my actions that I was getting dressed.
I nodded even though he couldn't see and quickly put on my bra. I emerged from the water to retrieve my t-shirt and get dressed.
"Y-yes," I stuttered my response after putting on my t-shirt. He turned to face me, and I instinctively held onto the branch of the tree where my clothes were hanging. He looked directly into my eyes, and I couldn't help but look away multiple times.
I felt embarrassed, awkward, and scared. Imagine, he saw something he shouldn't have seen, and I don't even know him! I thought he would say something, but he didn't, so he turned and walked away, gradually disappearing from my sight.
I was left sitting there, perched on the branch. It was only then that I felt the weakness in my legs due to extreme nervousness.
"Child, are you sure you won't come with us?" Mom asked me. I nodded slowly, giving her a smile to assure her that I was okay.
"Oh, alright, we'll go home with your mom then, and if it's possible, we'll bring you some gifts as long as Aling Sanya agrees. We'll be back," Dad said.
"It's okay, Dad, Mom. Enjoy yourselves." I gave them each a tight hug before they finally left.
When the man left, Marco finally arrived. I wanted to scold him for taking so long and blame him for what happened, but I quickly realized that it would be wrong.
Marco and I are friends, not boyfriend and girlfriend, so he doesn't have any responsibilities towards me. If I were to tell him that, it might reach Mom and Dad, and it would only cause them more worry. I didn't want to be a headache for them.
But he noticed the redness in my eyes and nose, and I told him it was because of the water, so he surfaced from the water. Luckily, I convinced him, and I was given time to calm down because he took a bath while giving me the fruits he brought and the bamboo filled with water.
I took a sip of water to calm myself down a bit, and then he escorted me home.
That was it, Mom and Dad came back an hour before lunch because they wanted to take me along since the workers on the hacienda were invited to join the Saavedra family's gathering.
Chapter 12I gasped as my tears fell one after another, I felt the exact pain I felt the day I found out that Mom and Dad were gone, the only difference was now, Kenzo was here with me. And somehow I feel relieved that I can no longer feel that I am alone."I'm sorry for not being there for you when you needed me the most. I was supposed to be there to accompany you but I wasn't.I even turned my back on you and tried to forget what we are, what we have back then. I know it's too late for me to apologize to you. The damage has been done. I can't take back the time we lost and those times you are hurting, those times you are in so much pain because of me and that tragedy happened.I'm sorry, I thought the decision I had was correct... I thought that over time you will forget about me, what happened to us. The memories we have together especially since you know that I have continued my marriage with Marga. I will not ask you to understand my marriage with Marga. The more I have no reaso
Chapter 11I would have accepted it if you did it in the first months when this issue was still hot, but no! You really waited for my anger towards you to take root before you made such a move. T angina!" I snapped at him."Selena please..." And then he held my palm and gently squeezed my palm and continued what he was saying."Mom and Dad observe that we are distant from each other, like we are still strangers despite the fact that we are siblings. Mom is sometimes asking if we're in a secret fight. She keeps on questioning me, that there is something happened to us here at the hacienda that they didn't know. Reason why we have this cold relationship. She doesn't believe that it's just about you having a misunderstanding with Marga back then.""Well, you shouldn't have told them that you made me pass the time and make fun of me the first time you came here to the hacienda!" I told him using my furious voice while at the same time looking straight into his eyes.I can already feel my
Chapter 9Kenzo immediately came close to me and then he also knelt in front of me to check on me. He violently combed his hair with one of his hands, when he saw how I would cover the wound with my other hand when it was my knee."I told you to be careful. You really won't listen." He said to me annoyed and then he held that hand if he was holding it, I don't even want it if I look at his face and he looks at me badly. I just got angry and let him see my knee."Look at the size of your wound." Kenzo told me strongly and he still doesn't think anything bad about me. In fact, my wound was really big, like the size of my palm. Sigh. I couldn't say anything because I couldn't think of anything other than the pain in my knee and how I could get out of where we were sitting. So I tried to stand up..."Hey... what are you doing?" Kenzo quickly told me and then he held me by both of my waists, it's a good thing he was supporting me because I might have been sitting where I was standing witho
Chapter 8Why do I suddenly feel the same as a child? Because I make Mommy cry?"Selena, Hija let's go inside. We can talk about this more inside. I promise your Mom and I will fix this." Daddy said more but I just shook my head."Why, Dad, don't you want them to know who you and Mommy really are?" I can already hear the whispering of people behind me."Let's talk inside so you can easily finish the problem I brought? What's the difference between what you tell me inside and what you tell me now, right? I'm already my hint as to how this will end, eh! I'm grounded ? What this time, can I walk around until I'm only inside the mansion? Or can I only go to the four corners of my room? And then the helpers will bring me food.""Son, it's not like that..." Daddy answered."Dad, Mom... I understand the part that why you are addicted to work is for Kenzo and I's future. I received that part a long time ago, the only thing I don't understand now is why I am not happy? Yes, I am thankful You a
Chapter 7When I went down into the water, my body immediately relaxed because of the warm water on the bathtub and then I put my knees together and hugged them, then put my chin on it."Doesn't anyone even know that it's my birthday today..." I said to the air and before my tears started to fall, I closed my eyes tightly.After taking a bath, I am feeling too lazy to take care of myself so I ended up lying in bed naked and hair is still wet from the bath. I didn't even notice that I fell asleep completely. It's just that I fell asleep a bit quickly because I heard noises outside.It looks like their fun outside is in full blast. So, I got up from my bed and went straight to the walk in closet to get my clothes on and then I decided to go out to see what was going on outside but I won't let them see me.I just want to see what's going on because I can't see anything from here in my room except the roof of the tent they built.I'm even a little weirded out by myself because, I went out
Chapter 6The party, dining, dancing continued since my orchestra was arranged for this party. I didn't even notice that with the number of guests there was a line in front of our table. Everyone seems to want to meet me at my bonus because everyone is carrying a gift that they seem to want to give to me personally.I just noticed that Mommy has been busy on her phone for a while, even when we get up for a phone call, she seems to be my problem, well I think it's just basing on her facial expression.Until the next person in line was Mommy and Daddy's friend who talked to us."Hello again Hija." And then he smiled at me. I smiled too."Um, hi." I shyly told him."Your Mommy's speech for you was so touching that I even cried a little." My mouth fell open in shock and he smiled as he finally laughed."Selena by the way, I haven't even introduced my comrade to you yet." Daddy intervened in our conversation."Let me do the honor mate..." And then he extended his hand to me and then he sai
