I straightened to my room. I removed my clothes and my necklace and took a bath. I wore a skinny jeans and a sweater also, I wore my necklace, i touched the pendant.“Mom, Dad, even my enemy gave me strength to fight.” I said and i just found myself silly smiling.I recalled how Zero comforted me kanina. It's. A bit embarrassing, a total embarrassment for me like arghhhh I just cried on that man's shoulder. Baka... Baka tinatawanan ako ni Zero nang patalikod. Tsk. Nakakahiya talaga pero dahil dun kumalma.Someone suddenly knocked the door. I hope it's not Dwayne, Ang kulit Ng lalaking iyon. I walked towards the door and opened it.“Dad!” I shouted as I see him. I hugged him.“How's work?” I asked and we went inside my room. Umupo kami sa kama. “It's fine... Actually I'm here to ask for help.” Saad nya at ngumiti sa akin.“Help?” I asked.“I need you to do something.” Saad nya at tumayo. He walked out and i followed him. May ipapagawa s'ya? Ano naman iyon? We went out the mansion at
I stood up in the front of our classroom. I hope wala si Zero. I take a look and deeply sighed. Wala pa s'ya, I should go inside.“What are you doing?” Biglang Saad Ng kung sino na ikinagulat ko, napaiktad ako sa gulat. Boses iyon ni Zero. Hinay Hinay akong lumingon.I cleared my throat and avoided his gaze on me. Dali dali akong pumasok. Dagdag kahihiyan, tsk.Nagmadali akong umupo at pumasok na din si Zero, nilapitan n'ya ako.“Naks. Nauna kang mag follow satin ah, are we friends now?” Pabiro nitong Saad at napakunot noo.“Over my dead body.” I shouted on his face and he chuckled. He went to his seat. Haysss! Lumingon sakin si Alliah.“Pag ibig na ba ito?” Pabiro nitong Saad and i rolled my eyes. She's crazy.“Stop it, Liah!” pagsaway ko dito at tinawanan nya lang ako. Pumasok na si Professor Reyes. He's our Science teacher. Umayos Ako Ng pagkakaupo. Nagsimula na Ang discussion and i felt bored. I rested my face on my hands and closed my eyes. Ilang minuto pa ay biglang tinawag ako
Dumeretso ako sa sala at umupo. “Manang, water please.” I said at kumuha Ito. Sumunod sakin si Dwayne.“Esa!” pagtawag n'ya sa akin. He seems mad or something.“Ano?” I asked in a high tune.“I hope... I hope it won't happen again.” Saad niya at kunot noo ko s'yang tiningnan.“Ang alin?” I asked.“You shouldn't go near that man, he's dangerous.” Saad nya at nagbugtong hininga ako.“Dangerous? I guess.... I think he's not that dangerous.” I answered. Totoo naman eh, if he have the intention to hurt me, he had a chance back then pero Wala s'yang ginawa. “I just don't like it... I don't like to see that you're close with that man.” Saad nya at tinaasan ko sya ng kilay.“Bakit? Nagseselos ka ba?” I asked in a joking sound and he scoffed.“Hindi!” Sigaw nito and i looked at him confusedly.“Kailangan mo bang Sumigaw?” Saad ko and I rolled my eyes.“Dwayne... If he's dangerous or if he will try to assail me, I can handle myself, I can protect myself.” Saad ko and he sat down beside me.“A
I stepped inside our classroom. Zero was reading a book. I headed to him. I hit his disk to get his attention and he looked at me with confused looks.“Tsk. I removed everything...” Saad nya at nagbugtong hininga ako. I'm hoping he's telling the truth I can barely trust him. Masamang tingin Ang binigay ko sa kanya at ngumiti ito. “Don't worry, babe!” He said and stood up. Bigla nyang hinalikan ang mukha ko.sa tingin ko ay nakita ito ng mga kaklase namin dahil nagsisigaw sila.“Ano ba!” Sigaw ko at tinulak s'ya, he just smirked. I went to my seat. “Ano yun, ha?” Pang aasar ni Alliah. “Wala!” Saad ko. I almost forgot, I need to pass my report to Prof. Reyes. “Tapos mo na report mo?” Tanong ni Alliah at tumango ako. The science teacher went inside. All of us sat down properly.“Alliah, distribute.” Utos nya Kay Alliah at ibinigay Ang report cards. I don't know if I will have good grades for the first semester but actually I don't need it. “Esabella, your report.” Saad nito and I
Chapter 1: The Beginning “No! Mom!” I shouted while crying. Nakatingin ako sa ina kong tinutukan ng baril. I cants see her face thoroughly, her image is vague and blurry. I can't see her! “Not my daughter please!” my mother whined. Nakaluhod siya sa harap ng lalaking pumatay sa ama ko. Nakatambad sa harap ko ngayon Ang walang buhay at duguan na katawan ng magulang ko. I saw it with my own two eyes how my family died. Resentment and anger swallowed me, I survived, only me survive when a man, Leonardo Woodward, my boss, my foster father saved me. Niligtas nya ako. I woke up from my heavy sleep because of the hard knockings. Arghh another nightmare! “Esabella! Esabella!” Someone shouted. I opened the door and saw Captain Dwayne Gregor. Ano Kailangan nya sa gantong oras‽ “What?” Saad ko habang tinitignan sya ng matamlay. Inaantok pa ako. “Mr. Leo want to talk
Chapter 2: UniversityI went to school, Rosemont College, like what my father want. I drove my red Mercedes Benz that he gave me at my eighteenth birthday. Nung dumating na ako, bumaling Ang tingin Ng mga Tao sakin, especially boys. I walked along the campus, searching for my room.“Hey hotty!” a boy shouted with a side smile on his irritating face. Tiningnan ko sya ng walang emosyon pagkatapos ay naglakad papalayo “We got a new chick bro.” Saad ng Isang kasama nito. They went closer to me.“Hey girl, what you got?” The taller one said in a joking sound. Hinawakan nya balikat ko. Tiningnan ko s'ya Ng masama.“What I got? Ahmm I got some knife in my pocket, you want?” I said fiercely at tumawa Lang sila. Akala ba nya nagbibiro ako‽ Tsk. This is one of the reason why I hate university.“Ang maldita naman nito, what's your name?” Nakangting Saad nito. This he slide his hand to my hair down to my hips. I grabbed his hands
Chapter 3: The QueenI was silently writing in my table when that girl approached me again.“Hey!” Sigaw n'ya sa akin at intensionally na binunggo ang disk ko. I looked at her.“WW princess? What's the use of your nickname eh para ka lang daga tulad Ng Isa dyan.” Saad n'ya at nagbugtong hininga Ako.“Tell me, you're insecure of me, right? Why would you act like that?” I nagged and shook my head. Nagsitayoan Ang Iba at tiningnan kami na para bang Isa kaming pelikula sa telebisyon.“Even who you are, you're still no match to me.” she said fiercely. I didn't enter university to play ranks with this stupid girl. Tumayo ako.“Katulad ka lang ni Alliah, Isang dagang umaaligid sa yaman Ng Iba.” Saad nito at tumalikod. She approached Alliah. Bigla n'ya itong sinapak na dahilan ng pag init Ng dugo ko.“Doon ka na sa low-key schools, doon naman nababagay Ang Mahirap na katulad mo.” Bulong Niya Kay Alliah and I threw
Bulungan at sigawan ang rinig ko sa campus.“Totoo? Wala na si Jessa?”“What happened?”“Ano kinamatayan nya?” Ilan sa mga bulungan at pag uusap na narinig ko habang naglalakad ako papunta sa classroom namin. When I arrive in front of our classroom's door, an evil smirk formed on my lips. Pumasok na ako. “Esabella! Narinig mo ba?” Tanong ni Oliver, kaklase ko. “Ang alin?” Tanong ko.“Si Jessa, Yung nagbubully sa inyo, she's dead.” He said frightened.“Huh? S-Si Jessa?” Pagpapanggap kung usal at tumango s'ya. Kunware ay natakot at nagulat ako pero sa kaloob-looban ko ay puno ng saya at ngiti ang nangyayari.“A-Ano kinamatayan n'ya?” tanong ko dito na kunware ay hindi ko alam. Tsk. Dumbass I'm the one who killed that animal.“Hindi namin alam.” Sagot nito at nagbugtong hininga ako.“Okay students! Go back to your seats!” Saad ni Miss Robles kaya naglakad ako papunta sa upuan ko.
