All Chapters of The Powerful Vergaras: Hunted by Vengeance: Chapter 201 - Chapter 210

I promised Leo na isang araw lang ako mawawala pero dahil may plano kami na mag-groceries, hindi ako makakabalik. It may sound petty—mamalingke lang naman. But for me, it is something exciting. Kasi hindi ito nangyayari sa daily life namin. Na kaming tatlo ang mamalingke.“Leo, baka bukas na ako makakauwi,” sabi ko nang sagutin niya ang tawag ko.For a few seconds ay wala akong narinig na sagot mula sa kanya.“Why?” he asked. Narinig kong medyo disappointed siya.“I miss my family. One day is not enough.”I heard him sigh heavily. Wala ulit siyang sinabi. Pero dahil hindi rin naman ako uuwi ay napilitan siyang pumayag.Sa hapon kami namalingke sa kabilang bayan. We had a list ng mga dapat bilhin. Pero ako ang umaasikaso noon dahil si Mommy ay iba ang iniintindi. Ayaw niyang pakawalan si Daddy kaya kumuha ako ng ibang cart para sa mga dapat bilhin. Mommy was randomly picking things, Daddy was beside her.It almost turned into a disaster, buti na lang ay kasama nila ako. And I enjoyed i

Allyana carefully stepped back to inspect the living area before she walked near me. “Nandito ka dahil sa pagka-bankrupt ni Tito Gabriel? I have a gut feeling you will blame the Vergara,” she said carefully. “Pero wala silang kinalaman.” Mahina ang boses niya para hindi marinig sa labas ng kusina. I glared at her. “You don't know anything so stop meddling with my business!” She sighed. Mas lalapit pa sana siya sa akin pero hindi siya natuloy dahil sa basag na baso. “Francesca, spying on these people will only bring you trouble. Stop this before you get caught,” pagpapaintindi niya sa akin. But I'm not listening. I don't want to listen to her! She's a Mendez! “Or maybe you want me to stop…kasi hindi mo gustong malaman ko ang totoo. Baka pa nga magkasabwat ang pamilya mo at ng mga Vergara para pabagsakin ang banko ni Daddy!” I spatted angrily. She shook her head. “I want you to stop because I'm worried, okay! You might get in trouble. You're my sister—” I immediately groaned in a

Nanlaki ang mata ko nang ilagay ni Leon ang kamay niya sa magkabilang gilid ko, cornering me to his bed. He was so near me that it made it hard to breathe. He watched me carefully before he let out a harsh bark of laughter. “Breathe, Cindy. Why are you so scared?” he said with amusement. Tinulak ko siya nang mapagtanto kong nagbibiro lang pala siya. I glared at him with so much annoyance now. “Hindi ka kasi nagsasalita! Akala ko kung ano na ang gagawin mo!” reklamo ko. He lazily stood up in front of me. There was still that smirk plastered on his face. “You are not leaving my room until you calm down,” he said with finality. “Here’s your book. Magbasa ka.” “Is that an utos?” tanong ko. “Yes.” Ngumuso ako. I know it's not his fault why I'm annoyed. Hindi naman niya alam. Pero kung bakit kasi kini-compare ako? I have my own identity! Kahit kaunting tao lang ang may alam ng pagkatao ko, I still have my identity! I’m not her proxy! “I’ll just take a bath,” he said afterwards.

The next day, halos wala akong nagawa dahil may emergency na meeting si Leo. Nanatili lang ako sa kwarto. Pero nang maghapon na wala pa rin si Leo, tumulong na ako kay Ate Maria sa paglilinis sa backyard ng mansion.Nagwawalis si Ate Maria habang pinapaliguan ko ang mga flowers.“Anong inutos sa ’yo ni Sir kahapon?” usisa ni Ate.“Utos, Ate? Bakit?” Medyo kabado kong tanong. Don’t tell me nakita nga niya ako? Hindi ko naagapan ang pagtatago?“Hindi mo nakita ang girlfriend niya?” bulong niya.Nanlaki ang mata ko. “Ate, diba—”She immediately put her forefinger on her lips. “Shhh… may nakita kasi akong nakahiga sa kama ni Sir kagabi. Itatanong ko lang kung may inutos siya sa ’yo.”Sunod-sunod ang iling ko. Trying hard not to look guilty. “Wala siyang masyadong utos eh. May girlfriend pala siya?”I bit my tongue afterwards to stop myself from reacting. Pero mabuti na lang at wala na siyang itinanong ulit. Nagpatuloy siya sa paglilinis.Matapos namin sa labas, pumasok na ako para makali

We had music inside our room. We were partying, just the three of us. Ayaw ko sanang uminom ng marami, pero hindi ko mapigilan. Ang tagal ko na rin simula noong huli akong uminom. This won't hurt. It's not like I do this all the time.“Francesca, is that your phone ringing?” biglang tanong ni Sylvia. “Why does it ring weird?”“What?”I then remembered the phone. Iba nga ‘yong ringtone ng phone ni Cindy. Bahagya akong tumawa.Kinapa ko sa bulsa ko ang cellphone at saka tinanggalan ng battery. It shut down immediately.“It's not mine. Lasing lang kayo,” sabi ko kahit medyo tipsy na rin ako.Kumuha si Sylvia ng drink at saka ininom ng isang lagok. Humiyaw siya matapos, then swayed her head with our music.“Rayleigh, papuntahin mo ‘yong bodyguard mo. Sa condo mo tayo kung malasing,” sabi ko bago pa ako tuluyang malasing at kung ano pa ang magawa ko. The last thing I want right now is to be in trouble because I was drunk! “Nasa labas na. Don't worry, we can drink all we want and deal with
