The Powerful Vergaras: Hunted by Vengeance의 모든 챕터: 챕터 221 - 챕터 230

It’s been four days. Hindi nga ako nakalabas. Every corner of the mansion, may bodyguard na nakabantay. Susubukan ko pa lang na lalabas sa malaking double door, may lalapit nang bodyguard para pigilan ako. Mas lalo sa likod kung saan ako lumalabas. May harang na ’yon. Hindi na pwedeng gamitin. Four days na wala akong paramdam kay Leo. Hindi ko na alam kung ano ang balita sa kanya. Sinubukan kong tanungin ang tauhan na kumuha nong bag ko kung nasaan ang cellphone ko, pero sinamaan lang niya ako ng tingin. I was walking back and forth in the kitchen now. May hawak akong baso sa kamay dahil umiinom ako. Na-stress ako na hindi ko alam kung paano ako tatakas. Alam kong wala na akong magagawa. I will be stuck here for one month. Si Lola ay umalis, umuwi ng probinsya. I have the mansion to myself, only that it felt like a prison. Lumaki lang ’yong kwartong pinagkukulungan nila sa akin. Natigilan ako sa paglalakad nang biglang may marinig akong mabibilis na yapak na lumalapit sa kusina. M

Hindi agad ako nakakilos sa sinabi niya. Nanibago ako sa reaksyon niya. Why is he acting like this? “Leo,” I called. Unti-unti akong pumasok sa kwarto niya kahit nagugulat ako sa mga pinapakita niya. Hinarap niya ako at saka umupo sa kama niya. He leaned and put his elbow on his thigh. “May napuntahan ako k-kaya hindi ako nakatawag sa’yo.” “Not once in four days,” he said lazily. Bored ang gamit niyang tono. “I’m sorry. I know you’re mad—” “I’m not mad. But you’re fired,” putol niya sa sasabihin ko. “I won’t be coming back to our mansion.” Natigilan ako sa paglapit at natulala sa kanya. This is not the reaction I expected from him. Hindi ko to napaghandaan kaya nasasaktan ako. My lips trembled. “May kumuha ng cellphone ko kaya hindi kita natawagan. Sinubukan kong bumalik pero ngayon ko lang nagawang bumalik.” “Hmmm…” he hummed. Wala siyang ibang sinabi. Tumungo ako. Hindi ko alam kung ano ba ang dapat gawin. It’s not like I enjoyed staying in the mansion. I was a prisoner t

Tahimik sa pagitan namin ni Leon nang malaman niyang Francesca ang pangalan ko. He watched me for a few minutes bago siya tumayo para lumapit ulit sa refrigerator. This time, hindi na tubig ang nilabas niya. Kumuha siya ng alcoholic drink.I saw him get one glass. Nilagyan niya iyon para sa sarili niya.Tahimik din ako habang pinagmamasdan siya. He said he heard the name, and then he didn’t say anything after that.Ngayon ay pinagmamasdan ko siya at hindi ko alam kung ano ang tumatakbo sa isip niya. Tahimik lang siya at malalim ang iniisip. “Leo,” tawag ko. “Say something.” I could trace the tension in my voice.Pero hindi siya nagsalita. He faced me and drank from his glass. Ang mata niya ay nasa akin.Napalunok ako. Kinuha ko rin ang baso kong may lamang tubig at saka uminom doon. Now that he wasn’t saying anything, I started to regret telling him the truth.I shifted on my seat when he put his glass down.“I was trying to remember where I’d heard that name. It sounded familiar. Yo

Leon VergaraI licked my lips as I watched Francesca go upstairs to my bedroom. And the moment the door closed upstairs, Matteo chuckled.“May binabahay na ang Leon namin,” he teased.I winked at him at saka nagpatuloy sa pagluluto.I was still surprised by what she revealed, but it explained everything. She never looked like someone from a poor family…because she isn’t.And fuck it, I liked her even when I thought she was Cindy. But learning she’s Francesca just made me want her even more.I’m sure I’ll make her Francesca Vergara one day.“Ayos na kayo ni Tita?” tanong ni Miguel.“Yeah,” sagot ko. Mama is already suspicious of me. Sa una, akala niya ay kinukulit ko lang si Francesca kasi baguhan siya at interesado ako. She thought I would be bored after weeks. It was my second time getting mad because of Francesca, so she confronted me. At nagkasagutan kami.“Anong pakialam mo kung nawawala siya?” tanong ni Mama nang mariin.“She works for me, Mama! It’s only natural for me to get

Pagpasok ko sa bathroom ay walang tao. There was actually another bathroom, pero dito ako pinapunta ni Leon. Exclusive daw ‘to para sa mga family at relatives nila.Lumapit ako sa pinakadulo ng sink at saka tumitig sa salamin. I looked pale despite my makeup.I shook my head and exhaled deeply.“Wala dito si Arthur. You are with Leo. You'll be fine,” sabi ko sa sariling reflection.I was in that state when suddenly two women entered the bathroom. One is wearing a blue dress and the other one is purple.Natigilan ‘yong naka-purple pero agad ding nakabawi. Agad na pumasok sa isang cubicle ‘yong naka-blue.And then I realized it was Yana! The one with the purple dress. Hindi ko siya nakilala kasi shoulder-length bob na ang gupit niya. She has curtain bangs framing her face, and it draws attention to her eyes. Not anymore her overall look. She colored it with cool ash brown.Matagal na akong sinasabihan na magpagupit para hindi kami parehong mahaba at itim ang buhok, pero sinusuway ko. I
