“Koen! Where the hell are you?!” Rouge’s voice echoed throughout the hallways of the Mordecai Mansion. His face is red as hell as soon as he enters the mansion.
“Anong meron?” Kunot-noong tanong ni Niko nang makalabas ito sa kusina na may bitbit na tasa.
Nakasuot lang ito ng roba—na suot niya sa tuwing pagkatapos niyang makipagtalik sa iba.
Niko or Azrael Nikolai is the second born in the family—gusto ko ding isipin iyon, pero magkaedad lang kami. Anak sa labas si Niko—well of my brothers are. My dad is a cassonova. He fucks who he want to fuck and unfortunately, nagbunga iyon ng limang lalaki.
Next in line is Rouge or Mavros Rouge. Just like his name, Rouge, he’s a rascal. But unlike Niko who’s a cassanova at ginaya ang ugali ng ama namin, Rouge has no interest in woman and so Koen is. Minsan pinag-iisipan pa naming bakla ang dalawa—pero wala lang talaga silang interesado, especially Rouge is having a hard time dealing with his step-sister na walang ibang ginawa kun’di bigyan siya ng sakit sa ulo.
Koen Radleigh, next to Rouge. Pinakamaarte sa aming lahat. Tahimik, but if you start a fight with him, that’s the end of you.
“What the hell is going on?” Luce asked as soon as he stepped into the mansion. Magulo ang kanyang buhok at mukhang kakagising lang.
Luce or Luciano Maverick. Halos kasing-edad lang ni Koen. He looks like an angel, but he’s a devil. Siya itong tipong hindi mo magugustuhang galitin.
And the last is Keeg or Keegan Aviel. The bubbly one in the group.
Hindi ko alam kung bakit kami pinatawag ni Daddy kahit na tinakwil na niya ako bilang isang Mordecai. Why? I defy him over a woman.
Not just a woman. But the one who completes my world. The one who gives me sunshine. Khalessi Mondragon.
“Mabuti naman at nandito na kayo,” dad’s cold voice echoed.
Bumaba ito habang inalalayan siya ng nurse niya—or his play toy? Who cares though. Dad is old. He’s in his fifties. Pero ang dami ng sakit na na dumadapo sa kanya. Karma? Hell yeah. He hurt mom by cheating on her. Dahilan para magpakamatay si mama lalo na nang malaman niyang hindi lang isa ang naging anak nito sa labas, kun’di anim.
Mom couldn’t take it anymore, so she decided to end her life. I hate him. I hate him. Hindi dapat ako nandirito dahil sa pagtaboy niya sa’kin na siyang ginusto ko rin to have my freedom and to choose my life with the woman I loved the most. But I can’t ignore the fact that he’s still my dad.
The room was tense. Dad sat at his desk, his face cold and serious, while Rouge and Koen argued, their words harsh and full of anger.“What the hell did you do to my investor, Koen?!” Rouge’s voice boomed, filled with rage.
“What the f**k are you talking about, Rouge?” Koen shot back, his tone sharp. “What does your investor have to do with me? I’m handling the cosmetics company! Are you insane?”
“You pathetic liar!” Rouge slammed his hand on the coffee table, the sound echoing through the room.
None of us moved to stop them. We were used to this. Arguments like this were nothing new. We’re not that close, but sometimes we act like a real brother—close, I mean.
Niko sipped his coffee as if he didn’t have a care in the world. Luce kept yawning, clearly lacking sleep, while Keeg was glued to his phone, grinning at whatever was on his screen like a fool.
As for me, I just sat there, watching it all unfold. What was the point of stepping in? It was always the same.
Dad, who has no control over his children, massaged his temple and waited for them to calm down.
“Ano ba kasi ang ginawa ko? I didn’t do anything with your investors!” Koen snapped, frustration clear in his voice.
Rad’s jaw tightened, his teeth gritted as his ears turned red with anger. His eyes burned with fury as he glared at Koen. “I swear, if you did something to my investors, I’ll kill you.”
Without waiting for a response, Rad stormed out of the study, his heavy footsteps echoing through the room. The air was thick with tension, but no one said a word.
Dad glanced at me, then shifted his gaze to my brothers. He let out a deep sigh before speaking. “I’m dying.”
“Good to know,” Niko said casually, not even looking up from his coffee.
“Wala bang bago?” Koen scoffed, rolling his eyes.
Luce, usually the most composed, snapped. “You’ve been hiding for years in this sh*tty mansion of yours just to f**k your woman, and now you’re telling us you’re dying? What do you expect us to do then?”
His voice was loud, filled with frustration, and I couldn’t blame him. Who wouldn’t lose it? We were just kids when Dad dumped his responsibilities on us, forcing us to run his businesses so he could have the freedom to do as he pleased.“Fabian,” Dad said, ignoring Keeg and turning his attention to me again.
“Take over the Mordecai Group,” he ordered as if he hadn’t disowned me and stripped me of my inheritance just because I chose to love someone he didn’t approve of.
I let out a bitter scoff. “No, thanks. I have no plan to be your successor.”
I stood up, ready to leave this house that was once filled with love, warmth, and happiness, but had long since become cold and empty.
Before I could take another step, Dad spoke again, his voice firm. “Marry that woman, and be the head of the Mordecai Group.”
Wala sa sarili akong nakasakay sa sasakyan ni Niko para ihatid ako sa apartment namin ni Khalessi. Yes. We’re living together.
“Don’t you like Dad’s offer? You’ll be the head, Fab, not just that, you’ll have the chance to marry Khalessi.”
“Is not easy, Nik. Alam mo kung anong takbo ng isip ni daddy. You can’t fall into his trap,” I replied, but my hands were shaking.
The offer was good. I can now spoil Khalessi with all she wants. Hindi ko kasi magawa iyon sa kanya ngayon dahil sa pagtanggal ng mana ni daddy sa’kin. All my fortune was taken away from me. The position in the Mordecai Group as an heir, my luxurious life, the cars, and the cards. I left the mansion with nothing. So I had to work hard to give Khalessi what she wanted.
Working as a waiter. Dad has connections everywhere. Good thing I had a friend who owned a restaurant and let me work there secretly—but I know Dad has spies everywhere. Maybe he just let me work there quietly since I am a disgrace to the family.
Nakarating ako sa apartment namin and Khalessi is laying down on the bed, sleeping. Hinubad ko ang sapatos ko at ang suot kong jacket bago ako tumabi sa kanya tsaka ko siya mabilis na niyakap mula sa kanyang likuran and planted a small kisses on her shoulders.
May mga papel pa sa kanyang gilid at may hawak na papel. She’s reading some scripts, maybe for an audition. She wanted to be an actress. And I let her do what she wanted.
“Hmm,” napaungol ito at gumalaw.
And I continued to plant her small kisses on her shoulders, neck, and face.
“Fabian,” she moaned.
I love her moans. It’s fvking turning me on.
Instinctively, my hands roamed under her shirt and around her stomach, making her arch her body on me.
“Fab, hindi ako pwedeng mapagod bukas,” she whispered. I chuckled because her body was responding to my touch.
“Yeah? Your body tells otherwise, baby.” I tease.
My hand reached her soft boobies and I roughly massaged it. A soft moan escaped from her lips, but I immediately pressed my lips on hers and savoured her.
She moaned at every touch, and I was getting harder and harder.
Hindi ko mapigilang ibaba ang kamay ko sa gitna niya at pinasok sa loob ng kanyang undies. Pinatong naman ni Lessi ang isang hita sa katawan ko, spreading her legs widely.
“Ahh,” she moaned. Napasabunot pa siya sa buhok ko but I liked how she loses control over my touch.
“This is mine forever, Lessi.”
Tinignan ko ang mukha niyang nasasarapan sa bawat haplos nag ginagawad ko sa kanya. Her face expressions say it all and I fvking want to claim her now.
“Oo, ahhhh! I’m fvking yours, Fabian,” once again her body arched at the intensity of my movements as I played her folds.
Dumapo naman ang isang kamay ni Lessi sa pagkalal*ki ko at pinasok iyon sa short na suot ko para paglaruan niya rin iyon.
“And this is mine, Fab.”
“Yours forever, baby.”
Fabiaaan! Mine agad ulit?
KHALESSI MONDRAGONKabadong napatawa si Alej. Ang mga ngiti sa labi ay hindi man lang umabot sa kanyang mga mata.“Ikaw ang kauna-unahang taong naging sandalan ko sa mundo ng showbiz. You helped me so much in a way I couldn’t imagine na magagawa mo kasi sino ba naman ako? I’m a single mother… Ang pangit ng naging karanasan ko, but you… stayed.”Umiling ng ilang beses si Alejandro at pilit na tumawa. Ang mga mata’y puno ng sakit, kaya iniwas ko ang tingin ko sa kanya.“Don’t say it, Lessi. Please?” Pagmamakaawa niya.Hinawakan ko ang kamay niya at hinalikan iyon. “Thank you for being my best bud, Alej. Sa walang sawang suporta, sa pagmamahal at pag-aalaga mo sa’kin, but I really need to end this…”“I’m sorry kung nadamay ka pa sa gulo ko. I’m sorry kung sinaktan kita at patuloy lang kitang masasaktan kung mananatili ka pa sa tabi ko. So…”Napapitlag ako ng biglang lumuhod si Alej sa harapan ko. “Please, Lessi don’t do this to me, hmm? I can endure everything. Hindi ko hinihingi agad na
KHALESSI MONDRAGON“Ma, si Khalian… Si Fabian… Ang baby ko… Iniwan nila ako…” Paulit-ulit kong saad. Nanginginig ang buo kong katawan dahil sa halo-halong emosyong nanararamdaman ko. Ramdam ko ang takot, inis, galit, lungkot na halos pumunit sa puso ko.Noong una, natatakot lang ako na mawala si Khalian, pero ngayon… Tatlo na sila. Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko.“Si Fabian ang pumalit sa’kin kagabi para bantayan si Khalian,” mahinahong saad ni Mama nang makiitang kumalma na ako, pero naroon pa rin ang mahihinang paghikbi ko.Sandaling natahimik si Mama kaya napaangat ako ng tingin sa kanya. Nakangiti ito, pero hindi abot sa kanyang mga mata. Malungkot na ngiti, at tingin. Na para bang may tinatago ito, pero hindi kayang itago ng kanyang mga mata.Sa titig pa lang ni Mama ay abot-langit na naman ang kabang naramdaman ko.“Khalian…” she muttered, low and undecided whether to tell me or not.Mas lalo akong kinabahan. “A-ano pong nangyari kay Khalian, Ma?” “May nangyari kaninang madali
KHALESSI MONDRAGONNAALIMPUNGATAN ako nang makarinig ng ingay. Pagdilat ko ng mga mata ay nakita ko sina Fabian at Alej na nagtatalo.Mariing napapikit ako at muling sinandal ang ulo sa unan. Ramdam ko pa ang pagkirot ng ulo ko at hindi ko alam kung bakit. Hindi naman ako nauntog—wait…Muli akong napatingin sa paligid. Puti ang buong paligid, umaalingasaw ang amoy ng alcohol sa hangin. At nang ibaba ko ang aking paningin, saka ko lang napansin ang suwero na nasa kamay ko.Indicating that I am in a hospital. A panic crept in, but I chose to calm down, not in front of these two men fighting each other like maniacs.Nang kumalma ako ay saka ako napatingin sa gawi nilang nagtatalo gamit ang mga tingin.“Leave, Fabian…” My voice’s trembled but firm. Sinubukan kong mapaupo pero parang ang bigat ng katawan ko. Mabilis akong dinaluhan ni Alej at inalalayan para mapaupo sa kama. Maingat ang mga galaw ni Alej na para bang hawak niya ay isang babasaging baso.“I’m fine, Alej…” wika ko na halos p
FABIAN MONTERO MORDECAINasa isang private room kami ni Lessi na walang tao. Just us. Nakaupo siya sa kama habang ako ay nakatayo at nakasandal sa pintuan.Wala ni isa sa’min ang nagsalita. And I don’t know what to say first. Feel ko wala akong karapatang magsalita.Pinagmamasdan ko siya. She’s playing with her hands, like she always does every time na kinakabahan siya. Her eyes never left her playing hands.“L-Lessi,” my voice cracked. Tumikhim ako, tumayo ng maayos, nilapitan siya at umupo sa tabi niya. I held her hands na sobrang lamig ngayon. Hinayaan niya naman akong hawakan ang kamay niya, and for a moment, feel ko maayos kaming dalawa.“Tell me everything, baby… Please?” Pakiusap ko. Her jaw tensed. Kita sa mga mata niya na parang ayaw niyang magsalita. Natatakot siya. Hindi ko alam kung anong kinakatakot niya.“I was…” she spoke, finally. Pero nanginginig ang buong katawan maging ang boses. “I was r*ped, Fabian.” My mind went blank. The moment she spilled her words felt like
FABIAN MONTERO MORDECAII didn’t sleep the whole night. Nasa tabi ko lang si Khalian na natutulog ng mahimbing. He’s so fragile at natatakot akong hawakan ang kahit anong parte sa kanya.Pumasok ang nurse para palitan ang IV fluid ni Khal, napainom din ng gamot at chineck rin ang vitals. Walang kahit ano sa kanyang mukha. Pagtataka, kilig o saya. The Sierras taught their staff to be professional. Umalis na rin siya, at saktong napatawag si Joey kaya sinagot ko iyon.“Sir, I’ve already sent the information you needed about Mr. Francisco Madrigal to your email. But if you need further information, I’ll bring it to you.” Nagpasalamat lang ako saka ko inabot ang iPad kong nasa side table. Pagbukas ko ay wallpaper agad ni Khal at Lessi ang tumumbad sa’kin.Napangiti ako.Even in silence, just one look at their faces could calm the chaos in me. They’re my home. My peace.Pero ilang sandali lang ay bigla akong napatigil nang bahagyang gumalaw si Khalian. Napangiwi siya. His expression twist
FABIAN MONTERO MORDECAIMatapos kong sabihin iyon ay hindi ko na siya hinintay na makapagsalita pa. I left the room. But I stayed outside, I had no intention to leave her again. Kahit ilang beses niya pa akong pagtulakan.Nakaupo lang ako sa may bench nang tumunog ang cellphone ko. Kinuha ko iyon mula sa bulsa, hoping for news from Joey, but Khalian’s names flashed on my screen.Napatayo ako sa gulat dahil ito ang unang beses na tinawagan ako ng anak ko, kaya walang alinlangan kong sinagot ang tawag niya. “Hey, little bud…” my voice cracked. Tumikhim ako at muling napaupo sa bench, trying to calm my nerves. What happened tonight was too much to handle.“Daddy, kasama mo po si Mommy? She’s not answering my calls, po.” Napatingin ako sa pintuan ng kwarto ni Lessi. Napakuyom ako. Ayokong nag-iisa siya kasama ang Alejandrong iyon, pero ano magagawa ko?“Yes, baby,” my voice cracked again. Napalunok ako. “Bakit? Bakit hindi ka pa natutulog? It’s past your bedtime, bud.” There’s a long s
