CHAPTER 01: EVENT

YNNA's POV I am looking at the mirror, preparing for the awarding later. YSABELLA made a new history today, one of our new release dresses was sold out. No wonder why we made it to the top of the clothing industry worldwide. “You look so beautiful today, Ms.” I looked at my secretary and laughed. She is not just my secretary, she has been my best friend since high school. “Maureen, seriously today lang?” Tumawa rin naman siya. Ipinataas ko sa kaniya ang zipper ng long red dress ko sa likod. I was amazed sa pagka-fit nito sa akin, puro din ito diamond. Pinartneran ko ito ng red high heels then diamond jewelries. “How do I look?” tanong ko uli kay Maureen. Ngunit may ibang boses na sumagot sa likuran ko. "You look stunning, sweetheart”. I smiled at humarap sa nagsalitang iyon. “Auntie Lauren!” Lumapit ako sa kaniya at niyakap siya. Amoy na amoy ko ang mamahaling pabangong iniregalo ko sa kaniya. “You are already a grown up woman na, hindi ka na mukhang 16 years old na mahilig pang

CHAPTER 02: DONATION

Few weeks after that event, I still can't forget what happened. Remembering that moment makes my blood boil. I really hate that man so much! “Ms. Ynna, nasa warehouse na ang lahat ng ini-order ninyo sa mga direct supplier natin.” Hindi ko namalayang pumasok pala si Maureen sa opisina ko dahil kanina pa ako nakatulala sa kawalan. “That's good, naipa-check mo na ba kung kumpleto lahat?” tanong ko sa kaniya tiyaka ako humigop ng mainit na kape. May inabot naman siya sa aking isang listahan. “Yes Ms. 20 boxes of noodles and canned goods, 30 trays of eggs, 20 boxes of barbie and car toys, 50 bales of clothes. Also, na contact ko na rin po ang team ng mga doctors na pupunta later to check the children on the orphanage.” Dapat sana ay magpapa-cater pa ako ngunit ang sabi ng namamahala sa orphanage ay may isang magpapa-cater na raw. Namana ko na sa mga magulang ko ang pagdo-donate ng marami sa orphanage na iyon, isa rin kasi ito sa pinakamaraming kinukupkop na batang ulila at inabandona. S

CHAPTER 03: FASHION SHOW

I visited my employees who's sewing the clothes that we will use at the fashion show. I'm making sure that the fabric and thread they will use are high quality.All people here are buckling down on their priorities, the fashion show is already next week. It will be held in Paris, that's why ang dami ko pa talagang dapat asikasuhin. YSABELLA should stand out.Sampung designs ang napili ko, ten models kasi ang required sa fashion show. My models will represent ball gown, silk dresses, evening gown, cocktail dresses, and mermaid gown. Kilalang kilala talaga ang YSABELLA sa mga unique and high quality gowns and dresses.Habang nagsu-supervise sa mga staffs ko na nagtatahi ay kinuha ko ang cellphone ko at tinawagan ang casting director ko na si Mia. “Good afternoon, Ms. Ynna” bungad pagbati niya sa akin. “Good afternoon, how's our models?” tanong ko, sinisigurado ko ring nasa mabuti silang kondisyon bago ang fashion show.“They are doing good Ms. In fact, our scouts are practicing them no

CHAPTER 04: SABOTAGE

My eyebrows meet as Thymoteo pulls me in. I don't know what is wrong with him; I don't know what I did since he really looks so mad right now.Hinila ko ang braso ko para mabitawan niya ito. Pareho kaming napahinto, tiim-bagang siyang tumingin sa akin. Nakakunot ang kaniyang noo, habang ang mga mata niyang lumalagablab sa galit na nakatingin sa akin na animo'y isang malaking krimen ang nagawa ko. “What's your dámn problem?!” I can't help but yell. Nakakahiya ang biglaan niyang paghila sa akin sa kalagitnaan ng fashion show.“You! My problem is you! You did that right?” Mariin ang bawat salitang tanong niya sa akin. I am hella confused on what he's talking about. Gusto ko siyang sapakin sa sobrang inis na nararamdaman ko.Pumikit ako at huminga nang malalim to calm myself. “Did what?” kalmado kong tanong. Lalo namang bumakas ang galit at pagkainis sa kaniyang mukha.“Huwag ka nang mag maang-maangan, Ynna. You're the one who sabotage my company's cloth collections, right?” I laughed

CHAPTER 05: SUITOR

I watched my janitors clean my office. Crossing my arms across my chest, leaning against the framedoor, I gave death stares to Maureen. She awkwardly smiled and did the peace sign.Less than 30 minutes ay tapos na rin nilang linisin ang opisina ko. Sino ba naman kasing hibang ang magpupuno ng sandamukal na rosas dito. My God, I'm still stressed at the fashion show, pag-uwi rito ay stress pa rin.“You all may leave now. Maureen, stay.” uUmupo ako sa swivel chair ko, nagpaalam silang lahat sa akin habang si Maureen naman ay halata ang kaba nang umupo sa swivel chair sa tapat ng table ko.“Speak.” I said icily.“Ganito kasi 'yon, Ynna kumalma ka muna natatakot ako sa bawat tingin mo!” I stared at her blanky.She looked at me, and I could see a hint of worry on her face. Pinaglalaruan niya ang kaniyang mga daliri bago muling tumingin sa akin at nagsalita, “Remember Mr. Chua? One of our investors?” she bit her lower lip while waiting for my response.I inhaled deeply, allowing the air to

CHAPTER 06: MEETING

Just as Mr. Chua was getting ready to punch back, a guard quickly came in and stopped them. At the same time, Thymoteo grabbed my hand and hurriedly took me to his car.He mumbled, “Kulit talaga ng mokong na ‘yon, walang dala..." I didn't hear the rest of what he said, it seemed like he slowed it down intentionally just to voice it out, but he didn't want me to hear it. Curious tuloy ako kung ano iyon. About ba sa akin? Binuksan niya ang pinto ng kotse niya, senyales na pinapapasok niya ako. Sumunod nalang ako dahil pagod na rin ako para makipag talo pa.Everything fell quiet as he finally got into the car. Feeling overwhelmed, I rubbed my temples gently, hoping to calm myself. I leaned against the backrest and closed my eyes, seeking a moment of tranquility.“Careless woman.” Parang tumalbog ang puso ko nang maamoy ko ang matapang niyang mamahaling pabango.Kinabit niya ang seatbelt ko at muling bumalik sa driver's seat. Nagmulat naman ako at tumingin nalang sa bintana.Nagmaneho nam

CHAPTER 07: AMBUSH

I froze on my position when I heard my name. What do they want from me? I bend down properly to cover my face, my heart beats quickly, and even with the air conditioning on, I sweat profusely.Tahimik ang buong meeting room. Nang walang sumasagot ay naglabas ng larawan ang leader nila. “Tingnan n‘yo ‘yan isa-isa kung kamukha nito.” Ipinikit ko ang mga mata ko, hoping na matapos na ang lahat ng ito.Pinapakiramdaman ko lang ang paligid, pumaikot sila sa amin at tinitingnan ang bawat mukha namin. Nang malapit na ako ay narinig ko si Thymoteo na nagsalita.“Wala rito si Ynna, ano bang kailangan n‘yo sa kan‘ya?” kalmado lang ito nang magsalita.“Manahimik ka d‘yan tisoy, hala sige bilisan n‘yo d‘yan.” Dalawang tao nalang bago ako, parang puputok ang puso ko sa mabilis na tibok sa makapigil-hiningang nangyayari.Bago pa nila maitaas ang mukha ko ay maraming malakas na sirena ng police mobile ang narinig.“P#t@ng!n@! Mga parak! Bilisan n‘yo! Labas! Balik sa sasakyan! I on n‘yo ang bomba!”

CHAPTER 08: ESCAPE

YNNA's POVI was startled and covered myself with a blanket because of the coldness of the air conditioner. The strong scent of masculine cologne prevailed—wait, masculine cologne?!Dalian akong napabangon, chineck ko ang sarili ko. Iba na ang damit ko, chineck ko rin ang suot kong undergarments sa loob ng malaking t-shirt at sweater pants na ito. Iba na rin!Luminga-linga ako sa paligid, nakita ko si pogo na natutulog sa tabi ko. Nakayupyop ito sa kama at humihilik ng pakaunti.“What did you do to me?! Did you r#p€d me?! Help! Tulong! Manyak!”Mabilis siyang napabangon, tinakpan ko ng kumot ang buong katawan ko at nagsisisigaw. Kinusot niya ang kaniyang mga mata at hindi makapaniwalang tumingin sa akin.“Can you just shut up? Ang sakit mo sa tenga,” umatras naman ako hanggang mapasandal ako sa headboard.“Anong ginawa mo sa akin?! Nasaan ako?!” masama akong tumingin sa kaniya habang tinatakpan pa rin ng kumot ang katawan ko.“I didn't do anything! Also, hindi kita papatulan. You're f

CHAPTER 09: PLAN

I'm looking at any possible way that I can escape. All the doors and gates are closed and guarded. My knees got weak, I sat on the ground and cried. My aunt Lauren needs to know that I'm alive. For sure, Auntie Lauren and Maureen are very worried about me.“Stop it, calm yourself, Ynna. This is for your own good.” Malamig ang baritonong boses ni Thymoteo, nakatayo siya sa harap ko at nakapamulsa.Napayuko nalang ako at patuloy sa paghikbi, mahina akong napahampas sa sahig. Hindi ko na nabilang kung ilang minuto o nasa oras na ba ang pag-iyak ko. I saw how my aunt Lauren suffered a lot when we lost my parents. I can't imagine the pain she is facing right now.She can't find me; she does not even know if I am still alive. Ilang araw o baka linggo na ba ang nakalilipas? Hindi ko rin alam. I want to go home.While crying, nadama ko ang unti-unti kong pag angat mula sa lupa. Thymoteo carried me; he walked towards my bedroom. Hindi na ako nakipagtalo pa, wala na akong enerhiya, hindi ko na

CHAPTER 10: BACK TO MANILA

YNNA's P.O.VI immediately shut my mouth off when I saw how mad Thymoteo is. I know that he and his friends just wanna help me but I can’t stay here longer knowing that my only family is worrying too much about me.Naging tahimik ang hapag-kainan habang kumakain kaming lahat ng almusal hanggang matapos kaming kumain ay naroon pa rin ang katahimikan. I felt really scared when I saw how pissed off he is, he gives me chills in my spine. I admit naman that I was wrong pero nadala lang din ako sa bugso ng damdamin when I heard that I need to stay here. Stay with my rival in one damn roof.“I will go on Manila tomorrow to start our plan, Trigo give me the contact number of your private investigator. Babalik din ako rito after a week.” Seryoso ang malamig na baritonong boses ni Thymoteo. Nagtatanguan lang ang lahat habang ako ay tahimik lang na naka upo.Nang matapos kaming kumain ay umalis si Thymoteo, dumiretcho siya pataas sa kaniyang kuwarto. Nakahinga kami ng maluwag, the tension betwee
