Ysabelle’s POV

It is supposed to be a normal day ngunit para sa akin, this is the start of the weirdest chapter of my life— me as a corporate slave disguised on a business trip and a fake honeymoon with the man who ghosted me years ago, at hindi ito ideal honeymoon na parang “never a dull moment with you” type with matching beautiful sunrise and sunset and star gazing near the seashore. Again, this is only for the show— ginagawang puhunan ang aming love story upang maging stable ang aming business joint. Malamang, makukumbinsi talaga namin iyong investors.

“Can you please try to look like you’re on a honeymoon,” Aldrich said casually. I think he’s pertaining to my outfit. Nakahoodie, pants, sneakers lamang ako at hindi gaanong nagayos sa sarili samantala siya naman ay parang taga royal family sa suot niya tapos ang tapang pa ng amoy ng perfume.

“Aba, eh anong gusto mo? Mag-wedding gown pa rin ako tapos naka-bouquet para makumbinsi ng mga tao na nasa honeymoon tayo?” He smirked. That

    Ysabelle’s POVEvan sighed. He is currently talking to Matteo on the phone, asking for help to check for the security upang walang makakaalam sa whereabouts namin. For now, we were advised to extend our stay here in Dubai upang maging ligtas. This should be a good news for us to have an extension but it has a different reason behind it na hindi naman dapat ikatuwa iyon. It was quite intense. “Okay… yes, please. Thanks, Matteo.” He turned off the call frustratingly at lumapit sa bintana while breathing some air. I walked towards him to help him calm down kahit maraming tanong ang bumabagabag sa aking isipan ngunit I refrain to ask those. Wala sa isipan kong magdagdag ng kahit anumang kasamaang posibleng mangyari sa amin, I just want to make him feel that I will be always standing with him kahit delikado buhay ko rito pag kasama ko siya. “Ysa…” I hummed to respond at him, nakadungaw pa rin ito sa bintana. His hazelnut brown eyes go visible as the reflection of the sunlight meets him.

    Ysabelle’s POVI thought our honeymoon would be that golden, ngunit ngayong hapon, kanina pa kaming nakahiga sa kama, nakayakap lang ako sa kanya, Nakahawak din siya sa akin ngunit ang atensyon nito ay nasa kanyang phone, may kinakalikot. Ramdam ko ang lamat sa pagitan naming dalawa na nakabakod ito ng tension na dapat ay puro kasiyahan lang sana ang atupagin namin. “I will go to the washroom first,” I whispered to him. Naramdaman kong agad niya akong binitawan nang dahan-dahan habang ang atensyon pa rin nito ay nasa phone pa rin, umiigting ang panga and he was clenching his fist on his pants. Here comes the tension, the shift, the worry. Para bang may tinatago siya na ayaw niyang malaman ko. Pagkalabas ko ng washroom, nadatnan ko siyang nakatayo at nakatingin lamang sa bintana with a blank face. The Brunei sun cast a glow on his face — beautiful on the outside but on the inside, there is a hidden darkness. “Lunch na tayo?” I asked softly. “Uhh, y-yeah, yeah sure… Sorry, may ini

    Ysabelle’s POV The morning starts just perfectly. Gumising ako nang walang iniisip, walang problema at walang nakakabagabag sa aking damdamin. It is just waking up with another life. I felt his arms loosely wrapping on my waist as he was sleeping peacefully, his hot breath crossing on the crook of my neck which made me feel relaxed and comfortable that finally, I’m home — he is my home. Ngunit nais kong salubungin ang napakagandang bungad ng sikat ng araw kaya nagsimula na akong bumangon. Dahan-dahan kong iniangat ang kanyang braso upang makabangon ako nang maayos dahil tila bang nasa mundo ng pantasya pa siya. I called the information desk through the telephone to request some coffee and breakfast for the two of us. Habang hinihintay ko iyon, tumungo muna ako sa washroom to pamper myself. When the breakfast finally arrived, nagtimpla muna ako ng kape habang nararamdaman ko ang mapreskong simoy ng hangin. The scenery of Brunei is something that I want to cover. Maliban lang sa m

    Ysabelle’s POVTila naging maligalig ang buong bahay. Everyone was busy roaming around, others were tending to check and prepare those materials and things to be brought for something important at this point. The team seems to be stressing out when there are lost pieces of accessories and other stuff ngunit hindi na lang ako umiimik. Hindi ko naman alam kung para saan iyong mga dinala nila though I am not good in organizing events. Tamang sitting pretty lang ako dito sa upuan, nakaharap sa salamin at dito lamang sa loob ng kwarto. But despite the busy atmosphere, it is not a bad stress though, it was a happy stress especially that it is something special. I heard a knock on the door and it creaked open — si mommy. “Hey, love.” She hugged me on the side, her cheeks touched with mine and closed her eyes while savoring the moment. “Ma,” I chuckled dahil napansin ko na ang higpit ng pagkakayakap nito sa akin. Parang ginagawa na niya akong stuff toy dito. “Baka hindi pa ako makaabot n

    Ysabelle's POVThen, there is a loud bang. Everyone were terrified, screams scattered everywhere. Hindi ko na alam kung anong nangyari but everything just went into a flash. I only felt that someone grabbed me aggressively like a guardian angel gave me a divine intervention despite of chaos surrounding here. Tila bang natamaan din ako ng bala ngunit nagtaka ako kung bakit maayos pa rin ako. Muntik pa akong mahilo ngunit natauhan lamang ako noong ramdam kong napahiga ako sa sahig sa ramdam ng lamig nito. Pagdilat ng aking mga mata, I saw Evan who is hugging tighter in order to protect me. I slowly checked his body, anticipating na baka siya iyong natamaan but I do not see any. "N-natamaan ka?" Panigurado ko lang kay Evan na ayos lang siya. Natataranta ako dahil baka siya pala dito iyong natamaan dahil sa higpit nito ng pagkakahawak sa akin. However, he just shook his head, telling that wala siyang tama o galos na natamo sa kanyang pangangatawan. I tilted my head to check my paren

    Ysabelle's POVThe scene went into a horror when the securities changed their clothes quickly with armors and weapons. Nabulabog ang mga bisita at naguluhan sa nangyayari. Loud whispers and murmurs are scattering everywhere. Nagsidapa kaming lahat at hinawakan namin ni dad si mom. We are protecting each other. I tried to peek on the side, seeing Evan slowly going down on the aisle, walking backwards. I cannot hear clearly with their conversation but the tension between them screams. Mas nagtago ako nang maigi nang napansin kong bumaba na rin si Saysa at hindi lang iyon. Ikinagulat ko rin na may hawak din siyang armas at itinutok ito kay Evan. Umalingawngaw ang kanilang sigawan at palitan ng salitang katumbas sa dahas. "Aldrich, sumama ka na sa akin o pauulanin ko rito ng bala. Damay ko na rin iyong taong mahal mo!""I am telling you, ako na lang patayin mo. Huwag ka nang mangdamay ng buhay ng iba. Hindi ka ganyan—""Huwag mo akong diktahan!" Pagkatapos ng kanilang palitan ay narini
