MasukMy grandfather, Terry Sims, suffered from bipolar disorder and was prone to anger and mood swings. My mother, Catherine, was his only chill pill. On the day they were hunted down by enemies, my mom went into early labor and lost her life in an attempt to save him. Devastated, my grandfather could not see a way out of his disorder and poured all his love into me. He would pull out the tongues of those who mocked me and fed them to the dogs. The families of those who hurt me would meet their end. It was known to the people of Mistvale that the granddaughter of Terry Sims was untouchable. Due to my congenital heart disease, he reluctantly sent me abroad for medical treatment. After my surgery, I rushed back to his side for his birthday, thinking of giving him a surprise. However, I was mistaken for a gold digger by a carer and locked in the basement. “Of all the things you can do for your age, you throw yourself at men. Since your parents won’t restrain your behavior, I’ll have to do it for them.” She pulled out my tongue, dumped acid all over me, and dug out my snewly transplanted heart to give as a birthday gift to my grandfather, who had been waiting for my return. “Mr. Sims, the skank tried to impersonate Ms. Sims, but I got everything sorted out for you.”

“Sir Xavier…” “Umalis kayo sa harapan ko! Kapag may nangyari sa kanya dahil sa pagkaantala, sisiguraduhin kong mananagot kayong lahat!” ***** Sa gitna ng nag-uumapaw na ingay, isang galit na sigaw ang dahan-dahang gumigising kay Mayumi Santillan mula sa kawalan ng malay dulot ng car accident na kanyang kinasasangkutan. Pinilit niyang imulat ang mga mata at nakita ang isang pamilyar na pigura na tumatakbo palapit sa kanya, para itong diyos na bumababa mula sa kalangitan. Napuno ng luha ang kanyang mga mata dahil sa galak. Naipit siya sa nakataob na sasakyan, hindi niya alam kung ilang minuto o oras na siyang naroon. Akala niya ay hindi na darating si Xavier. Bago ang aksidente, nagkaroon sila ng pagtatalo. May plano sana silang magkita sa kumpanya noong gabing iyon, pero biglang kinansela iyon ni Xavier matapos makatanggap ng tawag sa telepono kinaumagahan, at simula noon ay hindi na nito sinasagot ang lahat ng tawag niya. Nang mangyari ang aksidente, ginamit niya ang huling natitirang baterya ng kanyang cellphone upang ipaalam kay Xavier ang nangyari sa kanya. Inakala niya, gaya ng dati, na babalewalain na naman nito ang message niya… but he is here now, ready to save him. “Hang on, baby. Daddy is here…” sabi niya habang hinihimas ang umbok sa kanyang tiyan. Napatingin siya sa dugong patuloy na umaagos sa mga binti niya. She is scared, of course, pero konting panahon na lang ay mare-rescue na siya. Nahihilo na siya sa pagkawala ng maraming dugo sa kanyang katawan, pero konting minuto na lang ang hihintayin niya. Gusto niyang sumigaw at tawagin ang pangalan ni Xavier, pero natuyot na ang kanyang lalamunan kaya’t walang tunog na lumalabas.Pero hindi na iyon mahalaga, ang importante ay natagpuan na siya ni Xavier. Marahan niyang inangat ang braso at pilit na kumaway… Ngunit sa kanyang pagkabigla ay nilampasan siya ni Xavier. Ni hindi man lang ito huminto at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad. Naguluhan siya, napagkamalan ba ni Xavier na ibang tao siya? Hindi niya kasi minamaneho ang kotseng pag-aari ng pamilyang Valerio sa araw na iyon. Ginamit iyon ng hipag niya. Ang kotseng dala niya ay regalo ng kanyang ina. Bihira niya iyong gamitin kaya normal lang na hindi ito nakilala ni Xavier. Wala na siyang oras para mag-isip ng kung ano-ano. She tried calling his name to get his attention… pero wala. At dahil sa tuloy-tuloy na pag-agos ng dugo sa kanyang binti, naubos na ang kanyang lakas. Maging ang pagsasalita ay hindi na niya magawa. Hindi siya narinig ni Xavier. Nagpatuloy ito sa paglalakad hanggang sa marating ang puting kotse na naging sanhi ng aksidente. Bago pa man siya makapag-react, binuksan nito ang pinto at kinarga ang isang nanginginig na babae. Ang babae ay nakasuot ng mahabang coat, payat at sopistikada, may nakakabighaning ganda na agad na makukuha ang atensyon ninuman. Nang makita niya ang mukha nito, pakiramdam niya ay nahulog sya sa isang nagyeyelong bangin. The girl is no other than Xavier’s first love… Ysabel Cortez! Bigla niyang naalala kung paano biglang lumiko ang kotseng sakay nito kanina. Hinahabol siya na parang baliw. Ni hindi man lang siya binigyan ng pagkakataong makaiwas. Ang kotse nito ay nasa gilid ng kalsada, samantalang ang sa kanya ay nakataob. Pero bakit parang ito pa ang mukhang kawawa? At ang sarili niyang asawa ay yakap-yakap ang ibang babae, samantalang siya ay halos nag-aagaw-buhay na! Hindi nya lubos maisip kung bakit biglang umuwi ng bansa si Ysabel, ang alam niya ay nasa abroad ang dalaga. At bakit tila nagkataon naman na si Ysabel pa ang bumangga sa sasakyan niya? Iwinaksi niya ang mga naisip. Ang mahalaga ngayon ay ma-rescue siya at ang kanyang anak. Habang pilit niyang kinakatok ang bintana, napansin ng isa sa mga bodyguard ni Xavier ang paggalaw sa loob ng sasakyan niya. Mukhang nakilala nito ang kotseng gamit niya. Muli siyang sumigaw, pero wala pa ring boses na lumalabas sa bibig niya. “Sir, may tao pa po sa loob ng sasakyang iyon!” narinig niyang sigaw ng bodyguard ni Xavier. ***** Napalingon si Xavier Luis Valerio sa kotse na itinuro ng kanyang bodyguard. Ang babaeng nasa loob ay puno ng dugo at patuloy pa sa pagdurugo. Pero sa kabila ng dugong bumabalot sa mukha nito ay tila pamilyar ang babae sa kanya. Natigilan siya, akmang lalapitan ang kabilang kotse, nang biglang umungol sa sakit ang babaeng hawak-hawak niya… si Ysabel Cortez. Bigla siyang nataranta. “Nasugatan si Ysabel! Dalhin natin siya sa ospital!” sigaw niya sa kanyang mga bodyguard. “Pero, sir… paano ang babae sa kabilang kotse?” Hindi na nito tinuloy ang sasabihin dahil sa takot sa kanyang mga titig. Wala itong nagawa kundi sumunod sa utos nya. “Sige po, sir… tara na po sa ospital…” sambit nito. **** Walang habas na tumutulo ang mga luha ni Mayumi. Wala siyang nagawa kundi panoorin si Xavier na sinulyapan lang siya bago muling naglakad pabalik sa kotse nito at buhat-buhat si Ysabel. “Xavier! Iligtas mo ako! Iligtas mo ang anak natin!…” Inubos niya ang buong lakas sa pagsigaw, pero hindi pa rin iyon sapat. Walang kahit sinong pumansin sa kanya. Mabilis na umarangkada ang sasakyan ni Xavier, karga si Ysabel sa loob. Wala na siyang nagawa kundi panoorin habang unti-unting naglalaho ang kotse papunta sa malayo. Pilit niyang nilalabanan ang pag-pikit ng mga mata kahit pa matinding sakit at kirot na ang nararamdaman sa buo niyang katawan. Nang hindi na niya nakayanan, dumilim ang lahat sa paligid at muli siyang nawalan ng malay.“Argh!”Rachel put her palm over her face and screamed before rolling across the floor in agony. “Is that all you can take? “Chastity went through a lot worse than this.” A deep gash fell on her wrists. With a sickening snap, Rachel endured a cut to her tendons. Her arms fell limp on the floor as she clutched them and cried harrowingly. Terry furrowed his brows. “I’m just getting started. Weren’t you thrilled when you abused her?” It was one cut after another. Rachel quickly had stab wounds all over, her body a mutilated mess. She lay sprawled across the floor, her body wracked with spasms. She was a broken doll. Her eyes were a haunting plea. “P-Please… Let me go…” A flicker of emotion crossed Terry’s stoic face, and Rachel saw a glimmer of hope. The next minute, a chilling blade plunged into her mouth. Terry rotated his wrist, twisting the blade in her mouth. Blood and mangled pieces of flesh fell out of her lips. Rachel let out agonized grunts. She could
Rachel was baffled. “Mr. Sims, why—” Terry rose to his feet, his voice commanding attention. “What’s a birthday party without entertainment? “I prepared a little show for everyone.” Rachel was taken aback. She had no idea Terry had something else in store for the event. Thrilled, the guests chattered in anticipation of the show. “Mr. Sims has the power and connections to hire a singer.” “He can do a lot better than a singer. Mr. Sims can even hire a movie star.” The door to the event hall burst open with a kick, and a security team of a dozen gathered around Terry. Amid the guests’ confusion, Rachel let out a scream. “Hey! What are you doing? Do you know who I am? “The audacity of you! Punish them, Mr. Sims!” Terry stood still and observed the commotion, paying no heed to Rachel’s struggles. My body was transported from behind her. Getting the message, Rachel looked at Terry, disgruntled. “Are you hurting me because of the vixen, Mr. Sims? “I’ve served y
The video was the surveillance footage outside the mansion. When I showed up on the screen, Terry jumped to his feet. Before he could say anything, another silhouette appeared in the footage. It was Rachel. Terry watched as Rachel beat me up. Instead of stopping the violence, the household staff behind Rachel relished in my abuse. His worst nightmare had come true. A palpable tension hung heavy in the air as his bloodshot eyes darted around the room, and his trembling hands dug into the chair. The video showed me falling to the ground, my hands pressed against my aching chest as a group dragged me away like a sack of potatoes. My raw skin scraped against the ground, leaving behind a trail of blood. “Thud!” Terry smashed the tablet to the ground. The screen went black and broke to pieces. His expression was ashen, and his chest heaved as gripping fear finally took hold of him. The security officer stood there, holding his breath. “Mr. Sims, should I continue t
Terry’s face fell. He ran through the flight itinerary I had sent him, verifying the date and time repeatedly. However, nothing appeared out of place. Our last interaction was this morning when I sent Terry a cute birthday emoji with the message “Happy Birthday”. Terry beamed with joy and love upon receiving the text message. Yet now, these blaring well-wishing words left him unsettled and on edge. Tensing his facial muscles, he called the housekeeper in charge of my care in Libestar. The call quickly connected, and the housekeeper followed my instructions to a tee, expressing that I was on a later flight home. However, the flight should have landed an hour later. I watched in devastation as Terry clenched his fists. The gaping hole in my chest whistled in the wind, piercing me in pain. Suddenly, Terry jolted to his feet, and the guests were caught off guard. So was Rachel, as she stumbled ahead and tried to calm Terry down. “I’ll grab your medication, Mr. Sims.”
Terry frowned. “What are you talking about? What do you mean by hussy?” “Oh, you can’t fool me, Mr. Sims. I saw you looking at the hussy’s photo.” She said earnestly, “You can’t find a woman around Ms. Sim’s age even if you have needs. Ms. Sims will be upset when she finds out.” “Photo?” Terry thoug
Drowning in agony, I shivered uncontrollably. I could not make a sound as even the slightest touch sent a jolt of pain through me.Rachel snickered in delight as the chemical acid burned me through and through. “You think you’re desirable because you’re young. Well, who will want you now?!” I l
Rachel picked the crucifix up, her face grimacing. “I see you learned beforehand of Mr. Sim’s beliefs.” I reached out to grab the crucifix. “Give it back! I had it blessed for Grandpa!” Rachel tightened her grip over my neck and looked at me in disdain. “Grandpa? Are you still keeping up with
