Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alcavar Dynasty: The Black Sheep: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

J A N I C E"Good Morning, Ma'am, coffee, and mails."Bati sa akin ni Laurice na syang assistant ko dito sa office. Today is gonna be another day. Malapit na ang launch namin ng bagong product, which is in February kaya kailangan ko nang matapos ang lahat ng kailangang tapusin para makapag focus sa gaganaping event. Inilapag nya ang kape ko at ang mga mails for me. Napansin ko kaagad ang may kalakihang papel, it has a red ribbon in it and it is lightweight,  wrapped with brown paper and my curiosity is piling up.A newspaper?Mabilis ko itong binuklat. The headline shook my world."Lorraine Alcavar: In Jail for Money Laundering"

R O S A"Are you the kind of person who gives second chances, Ms. Rosé?"Tanong sa akin ng interviewer ng Flex Magazine. She's Heidi, she interviews known people in the industry and publishes it in their magazine."Uh, Hahaha. That depends on the person. Because I believe that you do not just deserve a second chance. You have to earn it to deserve it."She nodded her head."Wow, that's a different outlook. It's fresh."I smiled and thanked her."So, the goss is, you are with the bachelor Hunter Hilburn, Is it true?"

L O R R A I N E"Leslie!"Mabilis ko syang hinatak sa isang sulok nang makita ko sya dito sa loob ng party."Anong ginagawa mo dito?"Tanong ko sakanya."Uy! Ikaw anong ginagawa mo dito? Ganda naman natin."Nakuha pang mang asar!"Bakit ka nga nandito? I'm with Janice. She's the wife of Levoine Cariones. Kaya ako nandito dahil syempre alam mo na."She rolled her eyes on me."Wag ka na mag inarte! Ang tagal mong hindi naranasan to kaya enjoyin mo nalang!"

L O R R A I N EMy mind, my body, and my soul just switched back into old me.As I look into her eyes, parang she served as the missing piece of the puzzle in finding the old me. I can feel my heart beating again. I feel so alive and warm. But despite this warmth ay nakaramdam ulit ako ng pain. It hurts that I didn't apologize, it hurts na hindi ko sya kinausap ng maayos. It hurts now, that I told her all those disgusting things that I said about her. I cannot contain all this pain so my tears started to pour out.Bakit ka ganyan Rosa, bakit mo ako pinapatawad? Why do you always have to be the kind one? Ah, right. Because I am the Black Sheep. Hah! Now I can see it."Hmmm"

L O R R A I N EI don't know how I got here. It's like I was drugged in a subway tapos pag gising ko, here I am, standing in front of our old house. A house that my father treated like his castle, and the world, was his kingdom. Sila lang naman nag paka sasa. Kung tutuusin, I was an outsider in my own family. Taga salo ng gulo ng kakambal kong paborito ng lahat. Bida sa mata ng mga magulang ko, ultimo relatives namin, they didn't pay attention to me. Which was great, by the way. At least noon pa lang, I knew that I only have myself. Now this is easy. I know everything in this house. I know how to sneak in and out without no one noticing. I slowly climbed up the stairs without making any sound. Inihanda ko ang black cloth na ibubusal ko sa bunganga ni Victor. Ang taong pinipilit na sirain ang buhay kong sirang sir
