Vexed 20: How To Hold On?
Athena’s P.O.V.
“Kumusta na kayo ni Cristoff, Athena. Nagkita na ba ulit kayong dalawa?” tanong ni Ate Paula. Ngayong hindi na mapipigilan pa ang muli naming pagkikita ng lalaking naging lahat-lahat sa’kin noon, hindi na rin napigilan ni Ate Paula ang sariling bibig para tanungin ako.
Nandito kami ngayon sa condo unit ko sa ALeour. Dad bought this as a twenty-third birthday present for me two months ago. Tanging helper lang ang nag-aasikaso rito noon until I came here last month. It was different from the other units—tipong pinasadya talaga.
It has five bedrooms—a modern bachelorette’s pad kung maraming libangan ang titira. I mean, you could transform the other rooms depending on your needs or wants.
Then, every single thing from the spacious living room, kitchen, and dining hall were all customized. I really loved the combination of red and

Athena’s P.O.V.“Naku! Kapag nakakita ako ng gwapo mamaya sa meeting room tapos single pa siya, aangkinin ko na lang. I mean—susunggaban ko talaga siya at hindi ko na pakakawalan pa. Ay, baka ma-late na pala kami. Bye na, Ate Paula! Oops… baka dumating pala ‘yong in-order ko sa Shappy, Ate. Ikaw nang bahala ha?” Nadine also kissed Ate Paula before we finally left.We went outside my unit with happiness still reflected on our faces. But I guessed that mine was fake. We were about to take the elevator to go straight to the parking lot, since I would be driving my Honda Mobilio, when a uniformed man with his security earpiece—I guessed that he was only in his mid-twenties—suddenly showed up and introduced himself as our chauffeur for today.“Architect Athena Delgado? I’m Roger Navallo. I am one of the official chauffeurs of EGC and here’s my

Athena’s P.O.V.Mamayamaya rin ay nakarating na kami sa kumpanya ni Kuya Liam. Hindi ko alam kung bakit bigla na lang akong kinabahan. ‘Yong inis ko kanina kay Roger at Nadine ay napalitan na agad ng hindi maipaliwanag na pangamba sa kung anong magiging kahihinatnan ng muli naming pagkikita.This is it, Athena!There’s no turning back now.It is now or never. Prove to him na hindi lang siya ang nakapag-move on… na hindi lang siya ang nakapag-let go… na hindi siya kawalan sa’yo!Kung kinakailangan mong magsinungaling at sabihin sa kanyang natuloy ang engagement mo kay Tyler, then do it. You could also tell him na marami ka na ring ipinalit sa kanya after all these years!My heart beats freaking even much faster when I stepped out of the elevator at the thirty-second fl

Athena’s P.O.V.It’s really a pleasure to finally meet you, Architect Delgado!To finally meet you, Architect Delgado!Architect Delgado!Tapos na niyang sabihin ‘yon pero paulit-ulit pa ring tumatakbo ang mga katagang ‘yon sa isipan ko. With him calling me as Architect Delgado sounded too distant after all. Hindi lang ‘yon. His face fell into an expression I had never have associated with his features before.Kung wala lang kaming pangit na nakaraan noon, masasabi kong totoo ang mga ngiting ipinapakita niya sa akin ngayon. Pero kailangan kong tanggapin na wala nang ‘kami’ ngayon. Na kailangan ko nang ibaon ang lahat sa limot.For Christ’s sake! Don’t fall for that smile, Athena! It’s absolutely fake.It&

Athena’s P.O.V.“So, what do you have for all of us here, Architect? Aren’t you going to present your 3D blueprint layouts now and explain those to us? The projector is waiting,” Cristoff said in an abhorrent distaste.Is it just me… o naging iba na talaga ‘yong tono ng pananalita niya sa akin?Masakit. Hindi ko alam kung hanggang kailan ko kakayaning magpanggap na manhid. Ni minsan, hindi ko inakalang magkakaganito kaming dalawa. I wanted to ignore the hell out of him, but I could not. Gusto kong isipin na nagseselos lang siya, pero wala namang dahilan.A thin smile formed on my lips, trying to mock him and hide my real feelings here. I was about to answer him when Kuya Liam interrupted.“Dave, isn’t it too early to discuss those things? This meeting was just supposedly for every one of us to wel

David’s P.O.V.Dave, focus!Athena should be the one walking out, not you!Damn it! I was sure as hell na wala na akong nararamdaman para sa babaeng ‘yon, pero bakit ganito? Bakit ang lakas pa rin ng epekto niya sa buong pagkatao ko?Ang dami ko nang nalagpasang mga pagsubok sa buhay na wala siya sa piling ko. Ang dami ko nang nakamit na tagumpay na hindi ko siya kinailangan sa tabi ko. Ang dami ko nang ipinalit sa kanya sa loob ng tatlong taon!She is nothing to me… and no matter what, she will never be something to me!“She r-really looks like H-Helena. Tapos magka-apelyido pa sila. Is that… the main reason kung bakit gano’n na lang ‘yong naging reaksiyon mo sa meeting kanina? Did you already know her before… as Athena?” Vanessa broke the silence w

Athena’s P.O.V.Whoa! Thank God, it’s Friday!So far, masasabi kong okay naman ‘yong pagtatrabaho ko rito sa EGC. Since the Project Charmed would be starting by February, hindi pa ako gaanong busy ngayon and for the remaining days of January! It looked like I was still in the adjustment period here in the EGC.On the other hand, napapagsabay ko pa ang CD Squared sa trabaho ko rito sa Pilipinas. After finishing the bedroom interior design for the daughter of one Great German Aristocrat, I accepted some new 3D landscape requests coming from France and Switzerland.Hindi naman siya masasabing conflict of interest, because it was one of the items, I made sure included in my EGC contract. Although Dad was a bit hesitant at first dahil baka raw hindi na ako matulog ay wala rin naman siyang nagawa.For the first three days of my stay here, I w
Sabotaging My Walkout Queen Book 2 Vexed 27: Something Deeper
Athena’s P.O.V. It was already thirty minutes passed five in the afternoon when I was done packing my things. I was about to leave my office when Evanna just opened the door and stepped in without even knocking.“Since you don’t have your secretary outside, dumiretso na ako rito sa loob. I hope you don’t mind,” she heedlessly said.Evanna was wearing a navy-blue off-shoulder dress, and it looked like she was ready to party. On the other hand, I was wearing an emerald-green velvet-buckle ruched dress with one long-sleeve on the left. My right shoulder was bare.“Knock at least,” I sneered. I didn’t know why, pero nagulat talaga ako nang bigla na lang bumukas ‘yong pinto ng office ko, dahilan para bigla na ring magbago ‘yong mood ko! It felt like I suddenly ran out of breath kahit hindi naman ako tum

Athena’s P.O.V.My heart lurched in fear as I frowned. I was definitely sure that my car was at its best condition when I came to work this morning. I just bought it last month and there was no way that my Honda Mobilio would malfunction this early!What happened?Trying to suppress the dread that was covering me from head to toe, I tried again… but still, I got the same response. I tried again, and again, and again… pero ayaw talagang mag-start! I vehemently twisted the ignition key, pero wala talaga. Doon ko na hindi napigilan ang lahat ng kaba ko sa katawan.Oh my God, please! This can’t be happening to me! If this is some kind of a joke, then this is not funny. There’s no way I’m going to commute on my way home. Shit!Now, every inch of me was already panicking. My hands were e
