LOGINSamantala, sa loob ng mansyon ng mga San Miguel, marahang bumukas ang malalaking pinto ng pribadong suite ng triplets.Jett was tossing a green apple in the air, catching it effortlessly, but a rare look of guilt and restlessness flickered across his sharp features. "Hey, do you think we pushed her too hard earlier? Mukhang galit talaga si sweetie, baka hindi na naman mag almusal bukas dahil sa atin."Napatingin si Jace mula sa kaniyang tablet, sabay pakawala ng isang malalim na buntong hininga habang hinahawi ang kaniyang malambot na buhok."Maybe. She looked like she wanted to chop our heads off. We should probably go apologize or at least bring her something to calm her down. We don't want her running away back to her old burnt apartment or complaining to Dad."Tumayo si Jax mula sa kaniyang armchair habang inaayos ang kaniyang kuwelyo na may kasamang seryosong awra. "Let's go. Dad is asleep in the main wing anyway. We'll make it quick, establish the boundaries, and let her sleep
Mukhang nakatulog ako nang hindi ko namamalayan pero paggising ko, sobrang lamig na ng kwarto pero ramdam ko pa rin ang init sa balat ko. 'daig pa ng kwarto ko yung lamig ng freezer.'The digital clock on my nightstand glowed 1:42 AM.A shadow moved by the edge of my bed.'hmm? wag mong sabihin na may multo din dito ha..huhu,'For an instant i drifted my gaze, pero bago pa man ako makapagsalita o makasigaw sa gulat, may malaki at mainit na kamay na dahan dahan pero mahigpit na tumakip sa bibig ko. The sharp, intoxicating scent of fresh mint instantly gave him away."Shh...quiet, sweetie." Jett whispered.Nakasandal siya nang husto sa akin, at sa sobrang lapit ng mukha niya ay nararamdaman ko na ang marahang pagdampi ng hininga niya sa balat ko.'shit..may limitations din init ko sa katawan..konti pang tukso baka bumigay ako..'"Did we wake you up?"I threw his hand off my face, scrambling backward until my spine hit the beds headboard, clutching the blanket to my chest. "Ano ba! it
I quickly finished wiping down the living room to vent my frustration before heading straight to the library to rest.There, I found the peace and relaxation I needed. The scent of old books and the cool draft of the air conditioner helped me calm down.By 6:00 PM, I carefully stepped out and walked upstairs to my room. I didn't want to run into or talk to the triplets anymore. I honestly thought I had escaped them when I reached my door without anyone spotting me.'konti pa at baka mas lalong kumulot ang patay na hair strand ko.'Pero nung buksan ko ang pinto at pumasok ako, biglang tumigil ang mundo ko.Nandoon na silang tatlo sa loob, naghihintay.They looked incredibly imposing, effortlessly taking over my private space. Jace, the eldest, was leaning against my vanity table with a glass of liquor, looking entirely too relaxed for someone trespassing in a girl's room.His dark eyes locked onto me the second I walked in.'muntik na kumalas ulo ko sa katawan ko sa gulat.'On my bed s
The heavy feeling from the dining hall followed me all the way back to my room. Pakiramdam ko ay may nakabantay sa bawat galaw ko habang naglakakad ako sa pasilyo ng mansyon.I quickly changed out of my stiff dress and wore an oversized old tshirt and denim shorts. Itinali ko rin ang buhok ko sa isang magulong bun para mas madali akong makagalaw.If I wanted to survive living with these triplets, I needed to stop acting like helpless prey.I grabbed a small plastic caddy filled with rags, polish, and cleaning sprays before heading downstairs.'Hehe, akala nila lilinisan ko ang mga kwarto nila? No way...'I started cleaning the vases, hanggang sa mga furniture sa sala.I wiped the grand wooden tables and dusted the glass displays downstairs. Mas mabuti nang magpagod dito sa ibaba kaysa pumasok sa mga kwarto ng tatlong lalaking iyon. Hindi ako baliw para ihatid ang sarili ko sa kapahamakan.Habang nagpupunas ako ng isang malaking statue malapit sa hagdanan, narinig ko ang mabibigat na
"Anong tinatayo tayo niyo pa diyan? Maupo na kayo," masayang sabi ni Arthur habang naghihiwa ng kanyang steak.I forced my feet to move, my red heels feeling like lead weights as I walked into the grand dining hall.Ang plano ko ay maupo sa pinakamalayong dulo, as far away from the triplets as possible. Ngunit bago ko pa man mahila ang upuan, Jace swiftly pulled out the seat right next to him."Dito ka na, little sister. Don't be shy," pilyo niyang aya, his dark eyes flashing with that same wicked amusement.Bago pa ako makatanggi, Jett already sat on my other side, effectively trapping me between them, habang si Jax naman ay prenteng naupo sa katapat kong upuan. I was completely surrounded by the same suffocating, expensive cologne that dominated my senses during that wild night at the Neon Motor Inn.'what the...fuck, bakit parang ako yung gagawing ulam,'"So, Cherry," Arthur started, wiping his mouth with a napkin, completely oblivious to the thick sexual tension suffocating the ta
Tumigas ang buong katawan ko sa kinatatayuan ko habang ramdam na ramdam ko ang mapang asar at mapanuring titig ng tatlong magkakapatid.Jace’s raspy voice was still ringing in my ears, and the way he said my name made my skin flush beneath the elegant dress Arthur bought for me.'Shit, shit, shit. Anong gagawin ko ngayon? Pwede bang magpanggap na may amnesia na lang ako bigla?'"Is there a problem, Cherry? You look like you've seen a ghost," untag sa akin ni Arthur, his hand gently resting on my shoulder. His tone was full of genuine concern, completely clueless na ang tatlong anghel na pinagmamalaki niya ay ang mismong mga demonyong bumasag sa katinuan ko isang linggo lang ang nakararaan."A-Ah, wala po, Sir—I mean, ahem. Medyo nahilo lang po ako bigla," pilit kong sagot habang binibigyan siya ng isang pekeng ngiti."See, Dad? Our new little sister looks so fragile. Baka naman masyado siyang nagulat," Jax interjected, stepping closer.The pristine white shirt he wore didn't erase th
