เข้าสู่ระบบShe coveted everything about me. My possessions, my experiences, and even my men. So one night, my mother pushed me into an older man's bedroom. The next day, she asked with a smug smile, "Nina, how was your night with the older guy?" I rubbed my sore waist, recalling his broad shoulders, long legs, and trim waist from the night before. I smiled as I answered her. "That fiancé of mine is all yours now. Just remember—I’ll be your Aunt-in-law in the future.”
ดูเพิ่มเติม"Ano?!!" Buong diing nasabi ni Maureen, nag ngangalit ang kanyang mga kilay kasabay ang matinding pagkuyom ng mga palad nitong nasa gilid niya. Tila niyanig ang mundo niyang tahimik.
kumurap kurap Naman si Jezra. "What?!" umiling sa Hindi pagsang ayon sa kanyang narinig. Ito ang mga salitang sabay na naibulilas ni Maureen at Jezra ng i-anunsyo ng mga magulang nila ang kanilang engagement sa pinag sabay na birthday party ng mga ito sa buong bisita. "This can't be happening!!" Nanggagalaiting hayag ni Jezra sa hangin. Nanlilisik ang mga mata. Ngitngit ang kaloobang nilisan ang Mansion. Alam niyang masisira ang postura niya kapag nagtagal pa. Plano niyang kausapin na lang in private ang ina. Hindi kasi siya yung tipo ng taong kaya gumawa ng eksena sa harap ng mga taong wala namang ambag sa buhay niya. Si Maureen naman ay kabaliktaran nito. Mabibigat ang mga hakbang na lumapit siya agad sa kanyang ina ng bumaba ito mula sa stage. "Ma.. Ano to??!! Anong kagaguhan to?" Nanginginig ang bibig nito sa sobrang galit. "Mind your words, Maureen!" Salitang naging basura sa tenga niya. Sa pagkakataong ito tila Wala sa vocabulary niya Ang salitang manners dahil iyon din Naman Ang ipinagkait sa kanya ng controlling niyang ina. "...Ma? Please... Tell me namali ako ng dinig." Nangingiyak na naibulilas niya. Huminga Siya ng malalim upang kahit paano ay kontrolin Ang emosyun at isiping Ina pa din Ang nasa harapan niya. "You know that I have a girlfriend, diba?! Ma naman.. Ang tagal na namin ni Margaux..." Ngunit hirap Siya sa damdaming sumisilakbo. Halos magpa padyak siya sa yamot. Wala siyang pakialam kung marinig o makita siya ng mga tao sa paligid. Maka kuha man siya ng atensyun, maraming mata at tenga ay di niya batid. Tanging paghihingalo ng puso niya ang namumutawi sa kanyang isipan at buong sistema. "Buo na ang desisyon ko Maureen, Anak!" Pagdidiinan nito. "..Walang maidudulot na maganda sayo ang girlfriend mo kaya hiwalayan mo na siya ngayon pa lang...." Sinubukan niyang hawakan si Maureen pero tinabig lang nito ang kamay niya. "Tinawag niyo pa talaga akong, Anak?! Parang property lang naman ang tingin niyo sakin, Ma! At nanay ko lang po kayo. Hindi kayo o kung sino man ang may hawak ng puso ko.... pipili kung sinong dapat mahalin nito!!! Ang diyos nga binigyan tayo ng will tapos ikaw na... na tao lang tatanggalan ako?? The heck ma!!" Halos pumutok ang litid niya sa leeg sa sobrang poot. Sumisiklab ang kalooban niya. "Magdahan dahan ka sa pananalita, Maureen! INA MO PA DIN AKO!" "Ano bang alam mo, Ma?? Negosyo mo lang naman ang mahalaga sayo!! At pati Ako ibinilang mo sa NEGOSYO mo!!" Dagdag pa niya. Walang sagot na nakuha si Maureen sa huling sinabi sa kanyang ina. Akala niya'y matatamaan man lang ito maski kaunti o matatauhan. Bagsak ang balikat niyang umalis din ng Mansion habang pinapahid ang mga luhang ayaw tumigil sa pagragasa. Samut saring emosyon ngayon ang laman ng kanyang dibdib. Mukhang sinagad na siya ng kanyang ina.Not long after the engagement party, Lucy's hotel video spread across the internet like wildfire.Richard was so furious that he beat Alex in his office. When his son emerged, his face was a mess of bruises and swelling.Despite Richard's aggressive efforts to suppress the trending topic, Mrs. Channing worked behind the scenes to ensure the story stayed alive.After discovering I had been impersonated all these years, Mrs. Channing had completely written off her eldest son.While abroad, Lucas had established a small publishing house. With his mother's financial backing, what had originally been a five-year plan accelerated dramatically.Two years later, our books dominated the bestseller lists across all major platforms, becoming the literary sensation of the year.Around the same time, someone anonymously reported Richard for money laundering with ironclad evidence. The government swiftly moved in, seizing all his connected companies overnight.Thankfully, Mrs. Channing had di
At the engagement party, I met Alex and his father, Richard Channing.Richard's features somewhat resembled Lucas's, but his gloomy demeanor couldn't have been more different from his brother's.Alex followed cautiously behind his father.Richard casually clinked glasses with me and said, “Since you're part of the Channing family now, come by the company. I'll have someone arrange a position for you."His condescending tone made my skin crawl.My father nudged my arm, urging me to accept and say something nice.Lucas fearlessly met his brother's eyes. “Richard, my fiancee's employment isn't your concern."Besides, I hear you've had quite a few problems lately. Perhaps you should focus on your own affairs first?"He glanced at my father and added with a smirk, “Oh, and look after my father-in-law too, since he's one of your people."Lucas had told me that Richard must have plenty of shady business requiring my father's help.That's why he'd do favors for the Sanders family on
After yesterday's drama, today's engagement party became all about Lucas and me.Lucy and her mother didn't show up. My father came, but his face was bruised and he was limping slightly.Alex reportedly had knelt at the family estate all night. Mrs. Channing had announced she would take back his shares in the company.Before the engagement party, Mrs. Channing told us a story.I learned that my birth mother and Lucy's mother were sisters.Which meant Lucy's mother was actually my aunt.My mother had been happily married to my father until my aunt, jealous of her sister's happiness, dumped her boyfriend and seduced her brother-in-law.Finding the cheat during her pregnancy, my mother gave birth to me but suffered severe depression. Two years later, distracted while crossing the street on a rainy day, she was hit by a car and killed.My aunt quickly married my father, and they both decided to hide the truth.So that photo I'd seen at my grandmother's house—of a woman holding me
Lucy was unable to hide the hatred in her eyes anymore, "Nina, want to know why Mom never liked you no matter what you did?"Because you're not even her child!"Your favourite grandmother knew everything but went to her grave without telling you this secret!"You're just unwanted trash that nobody loves!"She screamed the last sentence almost hysterically.My mind felt like a million bombs exploding at once, the deafening roar bringing fragments of the past rushing back.I vaguely registered my father grabbing Lucy's hair, slapping and hitting her.Her mother—not mine—fought like a madwoman to save her daughter.I'd had my suspicions before, but Lucy and I both resembled her mother.Our blood types matched too.I'd even seen photos at my grandmother's house of Mom holding me as a baby, smiling with such tenderness and contentment.So I always thought she didn't love me because I wasn't good enough.Lucas held my face, calling my name, forcing me to look at him.I blinked a
I was just about to fire back when a voice—familiar yet strange—came from nearby,” My girl doesn't need your disappointment."A man with tousled hair sat up from the couch behind us.He held a glass of red wine, eyeing Alex with a sideways glance. "Talking to your future aunt this way? Where are y
A week later, my parents took both of us to a reception hosted by the Channing family.The party was incredibly boring. I didn't know a single person, so I huddled in a corner thinking about new mystery plots from my writers' group.My parents used their status as the Channings' future in-laws to
By the time I woke up, it was already past 2 PM.Lucy was sitting in the living room playing with her phone, wearing a spaghetti-strap nightgown. When she saw me come out of the bedroom, she looked up, malice gleaming in her eyes."How was the old man's taste?"Someone dark like you who only writ
From an early age, Lucy Sanders always liked to take my things, even though she never lacked anything.It was as if everything of mine should rightfully be hers.Anything that belonged to me would inevitably catch her eye.I loved writing stories, but couldn't keep a single one safe.No matter h
