I didn't steal anything! Hell! Bakit ako magnanakaw! I worked my ass off to finish my degree, topped the bar and worked decently to be paid well! I won't steal!

Hinding hindi ako magnanakaw!

I may lack morals for some things but I would never do such a thing! My mother raised me well, and even if I have ruined views about certain things I know, it's not enough for me to commit such a crime!

I would never steal… especially that I'm working in this company.

I dialed and dialed Alex’s number. Gulong gulo ako. Gusto kong kausapin si Ma’am Matilda pero hindi na niya ako pinagbuksan ng opisina dahil marami pa siyang online meetings na dinadaluhan. And Mr. Almario took off early and I can't even contact him! Hindi niya ako sinasagot!

No one is answering my calls and queries. And even if I don't want this to go to Alex, I have no choice.

I need help. At si Alex lang ang kaya kong pagkatiwalaan.

Alex is not answering her phone. I don't fucking know what to do anymore!

  • Was It Worth It Taking The Risk   CHAPTER 40

    The comfort for me… was so beautiful when it's in the dark. Because… in the dark, I am not showing anything to anyone. In the dark… I am not seen. And yet… It was comforting. But at the same time, I crave… to be seen… to be loved… to be brought into the light and experience… beautiful things that don't happen in the dark. It was nothing out of the ordinary. I want to stay in the dark… because there, I don't need to prove anything, and yet… I am proving. I am craving to prove… something. Is it for myself… or for the validation that it would give me? Maybe… it was for both. And it's… hard. “She will wake up soon. Nawalan siya ng dugo dahil sa laki ng sugat na ginawa niya sa pulso at palad. But she was lucky enough. Naagapan naman ninyo agad.” I was still half asleep. I could hear the conversation, but I couldn't open my eyes. I feel conscious, but I can't see anything. My eyes are closed, and it's hard to open it. “Makakalabas na po ba siya kapag nagising na siya?” In my im

  • Was It Worth It Taking The Risk   CHAPTER 39

    Maybe… we go through things… and it's normal, because we are living. It's much more painful if you're only existing. But for some, it's better to exist than to live. And I honestly don't get it at first… because growing up with the judgment of people around me, I always seek for fun, and I always want them to see how wrong they think of me. But now… it was different. Maybe I should have only existed, and didn't wish to live free… because of the aftermath. The consequences of wanting more… means receiving less. I wanted to live a good life, and if not, I want to have, at least, a joyful one. Because, growing up, I never had this kind of freedom, because I was always doomed, and eyes were always watching me, waiting for me to fail.And now when I think that I'm slowly having it, and I have proven myself… it all suddenly crumbled down. All because I wish for more— for love.Maybe I was ambitious for things… I wanted a good life, one that could make me breath freely without having to

  • Was It Worth It Taking The Risk   CHAPTER 38

    I am not kind. I get angry. I have done evil things. I have… manipulated things to make it go my way. I have… cursed every person I hated… I was never kind, and I was never a good person. I have done evil… does that mean, I deserve to live in hell? I am not complaining nor protesting at the current things being thrown at me. The judgements, the accusations, the bad things they throw at me, the… sin I had done… all of it… and being in this certain situation right now, makes me feel… that I deserve it. I deserve the judgement. I deserve not to be loved. I deserve to be left behind. I deserve to… be trash in everybody’s life. I don't deserve good things, only bad things. The video played on a constant loop, while I cried. There were no sounds, but it was clear… that it was me, and Psalm. It was compiled. Like whoever recorded this… and saw this in person… must have witnessed it.. a lot of times, already. My face… looking like I was pleasured and pleased, by how Psalm sla

    I value friendship — much more the friendship I have with Alex. We treat each other as sisters, or maybe… it was just me who assumed that. Betrayal isn't her thing— that's the only reason that's keeping me away from the idea of her… actually betraying me. It's a hard pill to swallow. The signs are clearly showing it… and I kept myself blind enough… Wala, e. Siya lang ang kaibigan na meron ako… Hindi ko naman mapipigilang masaktan, ‘di ba? I reported my lost wallet to the police. When I asked the front desk in the company, they said they had found nothing. So, maybe it was taken outside by whoever got it from the inside. And most probably… the person who got it works under the same company…. The odds are big, and it's the most probable scenario. If not, then maybe it's a stranger… ang sama lang at mas pinili niyang nakawan ang pera roon, imbes na isauli. But I also have doubts about it, because the money is from the company. My name was used for the transfer… kaya ako ang naa

    “Why did you choose to enter the 13th floor instead of going down further through the stairs?” Mr. Alvaro asked.“Why? I can't?” I asked, too.Even if I don't want to be this rude, and I should have been more recessive to the questions because, in the eyes of these people, I am the culprit. But it's not sitting well with me. The case is not about why I chose to stop by the 13th floor instead of going down further. Hindi ko lang makita ang tamang dahilan.“Answer me, Miss Aracosa…”I sighed as I heard his thundering voice. Hindi siya galit, pero sobrang lalim at animo'y sumisigaw ang speaking voice niya. “I find it hard to go down further. Napagod na ako. You don't expect me to walk down the stairs with my heels on? I came from the damn 15th floor!” He waited for my words to come out full, and I didn't buckle up. Kasi hindi ko talaga makuha ang punto ng tanong na ‘to. Unless the 13th floor is a forbidden floor for the employees… like me? “Look, I don't get why you are asking this

    My body froze and the confidence I had earlier slightly buckled. Parang gusto kong umurong at mag isip. Sumigaw at magmura. Tawagan si Alex at humingi ng tulong.But no, I can't do all of that. I cannot buckle up now. Hindi puwede. I know I should have given myself a proper and enough time to think this through, but the thought that the people here are throwing me allegations and worse accusations horrified me. Mr. Almario’s laugh echoed the whole office. The look of every eye inside screams judgment and pity. I felt… embarrassed… humiliated.I looked at Mr. Almario and made myself composed as much as I could.“I hope you don't choke on your laugh and die early, Mr. Almario.” I chuckled, voice low. “I really do…” Tinapunan ko ng tingin ang iba pang katrabaho. Some are avoiding my eye contact as if they are ashamed of judging, and some are holding it in looking so proud they're judging me. I scoffed as I got the letter on my table. It was really a show cause letter. I gripped it t
