NAKAKUNOT ang noo ni Renese habang naka-cross ang braso sa ibabaw ng dibdib at nakasandal ang likod sa malambot na sandalan ng backseat.

Her gaze was fixed on the outside, but her thoughts were occupied with her and Zoren’s going to talk about.

Sa totoo lang ay hindi niya alam kung bakit ba niya tinatakbuhan si Zoren. Siguro ay natatakot lang siyang tuluyang matali rito at gawin ang mga dapat gawin ng isang asawa. This is not part of her plan yet. She doesn't know how to do household chores. Ni hindi niya pa nga nararanasang maghugas ng pinggan sa buong buhay niya kaya ano naman ang gagawin niya biglang asawa?

“We’re almost there, ma’am,” the driver informed.

Hindi nagtagal ay tumigil ang sasakyan sa harap ng isang five-star hotel. Kaagad na bumababa ang driver at saka siya pinagbuksan ng pinto.

Renese walked confidently into the hotel lobby. The staff led her upstairs after greeting her happily. Ev

    NILAGAY ni Renese ang suot niyang Chopard sunglasses sa ibabaw ng ulo niya habang naglalakad papasok sa The Gilded Cellar—isang sikat na fine-dining restaurant sa Makati. Ngayon kasi ang araw ng meeting niya sa CEO ng The Fifth Note.She already met the CEO of that company twice; that’s why she wasn’t nervous anymore. If her memory serves her right, the CEO of the said company was Mr. Elian Velden, also known as Mr. Blue Car because his car is blue, obviously.“Give me the details, Vil,” seryosong utos ni Renese kay Vilmie na nakatayo sa may likod niya. Nililibot niya ang paningin niya upang hanapin ang pamilyar na mukha.“Sure,” Vilmie tapped something on her iPad before speaking. “Kagaya ng sabi ko sa’yo, you’re having a meeting with the CEO himself. He personally wants to talk to you about their newest product line. Also, after ng meeting ay magkakaroon kaagad ng contract signing.”Saktong pagkatapos magpaliwanag ni Vilmie ay may lumapit sa kanilang isang lalaki na marahil ay nasa

    MARAHANG hinimas ni Renese ang ulo ng kanyang alagang pusang si MiuMiu nang bigla itong tumalon sa hita niya habang sumisimsim siya ng iniinom na red wine.She was in the living room of her condominium wearing a red satin spaghetti dress while staring blankly at the city lights through the large glass window.Kanina pa siya hindi makatulog dahil sa dami ng nangyari sa araw niya. She met her husband’s friends in the morning, she found out about Zoren’s solution to their problems, and Vilmie knew about their secret.Pagod na siya at gusto ng magpahinga pero ang utak niya naman ang ayaw magpaawat.“Meow...” MiuMiu meowed, rubbing its head against her legs.Bahagyang natawa si Renese. “Are you bothered with my silence? Hmm?” tanong niya sa pusa at saka pinatong ang wine glass sa lamesa bago kinarga ang pusang naglalambing.She’s thankful that her fan gave her MiuMiu. Dahil sa taong iyon, nagkaroon siya ng karamay tuwing malungkot siya. Nagkaroon siya ng mapagsasabihan ng mga bumabagabag s

    “WHY didn’t you tell me that you’re married, Renese?”Renese’s world suddenly stopped upon hearing Vilmie’s question. Kahit na alam niyang darating ang oras na ‘to ay hindi niya pa rin mapigilang mabigla. Bahagya siyang tumawa para takpan ang pausbong na panik sa dibdib niya.“W-What the hell are you talking about, Vilmie? Married? You must be joking.”Vilmie doesn’t smile back. Her eyes are sharply serious. “Do I look like I’m joking to you?”Palihim na kinurot ni Renese ang sarili niya. Tahimik siyang humihiling na sana panaginip lang lahat ng ‘to. Hindi pwedeng may ibang makaalam ng sekreto niya—sekreto nila!“H-Hindi talaga bagay sa’yo ang magbiro ng ganyan, Vilmie. That’s not your branding, ha,” biro niya pa ulit.Hindi kaagad sumagot ang kaibigan. Pinag-cross nito ang dalawang braso sa dibdib at saka sumandal sa sandalan ng couch. Vilmie’s eyes are cold and unreadable.“Hindi ako tanga, Renese. I’ve handled your ca

    “EXCLUSIVE: The Mysterious Woman Revealed?!”Iyon ang nakalagay sa headline na naka-flash sa television. Si Zoren iyon na naglalakad papasok sa isang five-star hotel at napapalibutan ng mga reporter but it wasn't the thing that shocked Renese. It was the fact that Zoren was with Liora! Yes, Liora Amaris Delgado—Zoren’s childhood friend slash neighbor!Hindi nakatakas sa paningin ni Renese ang kamay ni Zoren na nakapalibot sa bewang ng kababata.Gustuhin man niyang mag-iwas ng tingin ay hindi niya magawa. Mahigpit ang hawak niya sa cellphone, walang pakialam kung mabasag man iyon o ano. She slightly bit her lower lip when she felt it tremble.Renese suddenly stood up and took her expensive stock of rose champagne. Ang alak sana na iyon ay display niya lang sa opisina niya pero gusto niyang uminom—kailangan niyang uminom. She wants to calm herself.Walang pagdadalawang isip niyang nilaklak ang alak. She doesn't care even if it’s still noon.

    HINDI pa man tuluyang nakakapasok si Renese sa loob ng office niya ay ramdam niya na kaagad ang tension na nagmumula sa loob no’n. And she has an idea where it is coming from. The moment she rotated the doorknob and stepped her foot inside her office, Vilmie’s voice was the first sound that entered her ears. “Where the hell have you been, Renese Diora Kensington? You didn’t respond for hours yesterday! And then one measly message, tapos pinatay mo na naman ang phone mo? Are you planning to kill us for worrying so much about you?!” Vilmie scolded, uncontrollably. Napangiwi naman si Renese habang nakapikit ang isang mata. “Relax, okay? I was just…” She bit her lower lip, “busy.” “Busy on what? Partying again? Do you even know what kind of hell I went through just to fix your mess tapos magkakalat ka na naman?” sermon nito sa kanya. Umupo siya sa swivel chair at

    MAAGANG nagising si Renese kahit late na siyang nakatulog kaninang madaling araw. Her wine-red hair was messy while the strap of her spaghetti nightdress fell off her shoulder.Her eyes were fixed on the white ceiling of the guest room, still groggy. Ayaw niya pa sanang bumangon ngunit kailangan niya pang pumunta sa opisina niya dahil baka sinusumpa na siya ni Vilmie ngayon.Nakasimangot siyang bumangon at saka pumunta sa banyo. She slightly slapped her face while looking at the huge mirror—trying to wake herself up fully.Mas lalong sumimangot ang mukha ng dalaga nang makita ang itim sa ilalim ng mata niya. Hindi iyon halata pero kapag sa malapitan ay makikita iyon.“Ugh, bakit ba kasi ako nagpuyat kagabi?” tanong niya sa sarili.Halos alas tres na ng madaling araw siguro sila ni Zoren natulog dahil hindi nila napansin ang oras. They enjoyed talking to each other over the peaceful night. Iyon ang unang pagkakataon na maramdaman niya iyon matapos niyang pumasok sa showbiz industry. Sh
