Owned By The Ruthless

I am trying hard to understand what most people call it as the powerful feeling of all, love. It makes me confused whenever I see two people who felt that connection. A string that connects them to each other. Love for family, for a particular person and for other people. I have done interviews, research, but I can't relate to any of them."Your father will be so proud of you," ani Mommy, isang umaga habang nasa sasakyan kami patungong probinsiya. Pinunasan niya pa ang luhang hindi naman matulo-tulo. "I am proud of you, Sefira. You're a real Lafuente.."Some court me. Tried everything to win my heart but no one successfully did. My mom even set me up in different blind dates, yet I have found noone.Now, I wonder if I'll even find someone to be with. I can't picture myself tying the knot, having kids and living a married life. Ayokong matulad sa mga magulang ko. They're my own epitome of broken love, a love that's once sta

"Get off me!" I hissed as I attempted to pull my wrist away but his hold was too gripped, hurting me.I knew it's wrong to watch them but it's an accident! Malay ko bang nandyan pala sila at may ginagawang kababalaghan!"What are you doing here?" Mariin ang kanyang pagkakabigkas ng bawat salita, kasabay ng mas lalong paghigpit ng hawak niya sa akin. I felt scared staring at his me his venomous eyes, he even clenched his jaw for multiple times as he gritted his teeth. "You lascivious woman. You're stalking me! Can't forget me, eh?"Di makapaniwala akong suminghap."W-What the fuck are you talking about? Sinusundan ko lang 'yung pusa-""Don't deny it. You're just like other woman. Easily to be attracted. Can't get over a man after they did something for them." Rinig na rinig ko ang pang-iinsulto at kayabangan sa boses niya!I forcefully pulled my wrist away. Sinamaan ko siya

Boyfriend Mabibilang sa tanang ng buhay ko kung ilang beses akong nagsisi ng sobra sa isang bagay. I always think before I decide to any matter. My father liked that about me. Hindi ako padalos-dalos magdesisyon. But now, I just wanted to disappear like a bubble. "I'll meet you tomorrow at the cabin." Hindi ko makakalimutan ang sinabi niya bago umalis. Alright, I'm kind of scared. Siya ba naman kasi ang maging... boyfriend ko. I don't know him very well, he acts as if it doesn't matter to him but for me it does. I never had any boyfriend. Maybe some flings but it's rare when I'd entered a serious relationship. The last time I did, it didn't end well. I was on my bed, falling into a deep thinking, partly regretting my reckless decision, when I'd felt my phone vibrated. Kumunot pa ang noo nang makitang unregistered number iyon. Unknown: Still up? Who

"Do we have a problem?" Tanong niya nang mapansin ang kanina ko pa pananahimik at ang pag-iwas sa kanya. I rolled my eyes secretly. Sabi ko sa sarili ko noon nang pumayag ako sa offer niya, mahirapan man ako, atleast I'm going to benefit. We both are. It's a relationship with no strings attached. Pure business, less problem. Pero iba ang dating niyon sa malikot kong imahinasyon. I knew what they did. Halatang halata. Para akong nabastos. It felt as if he doesn't respect me at all. Even though what we have is something that shouldn't be jealous of, he should've atleast considerate my feelings. "Wala naman akong problema. Baka ikaw mero'n." It's dripping to me like an acid. His brow shot up. He stared at me like he found me so amusing that he even held his chin, tilted his head and looked at me closely. Halos mawindang ako sa lapit ng aming mga mukha.

"I told you this is going to be great," Maligayang turan ni Mom saka pumalakpak. I sighed beside her. Ngayon ang araw ng photoshoot na kanyang sinasabi. It's one of the most awaited since this will be my first shoot after my father died. "The media will definitely talk about this." Iyon ang paulit-ulit niyang sinasabi na tila nakagagalak ang pag-usapan ng marami. "Well, I'm an open book. Everyone knows everything about me, right? This ain't new..." She clapped. Umirap ako. I don't know what I'm doing. Hindi ako makapagfocus. Masyadong distracted. My mind's flying somewhere else... somewhere I shouldn't have been thinking about but unfortunately, I do! I wonder how is he? Siguro naman hindi ako iniisip no'n. Naku, malaman ko lang talagang occupied ko na ang isipan no'n ay talagang magpapapiyesta ako! But in our case, it's the opposite. Ako pa yata an
