Kabanata 30: Checkmate

NILAGAY ni Renese ang suot niyang Chopard sunglasses sa ibabaw ng ulo niya habang naglalakad papasok sa The Gilded Cellar—isang sikat na fine-dining restaurant sa Makati. Ngayon kasi ang araw ng meeting niya sa CEO ng The Fifth Note.She already met the CEO of that company twice; that’s why she wasn’t nervous anymore. If her memory serves her right, the CEO of the said company was Mr. Elian Velden, also known as Mr. Blue Car because his car is blue, obviously.“Give me the details, Vil,” seryosong utos ni Renese kay Vilmie na nakatayo sa may likod niya. Nililibot niya ang paningin niya upang hanapin ang pamilyar na mukha.“Sure,” Vilmie tapped something on her iPad before speaking. “Kagaya ng sabi ko sa’yo, you’re having a meeting with the CEO himself. He personally wants to talk to you about their newest product line. Also, after ng meeting ay magkakaroon kaagad ng contract signing.”Saktong pagkatapos magpaliwanag ni Vilmie ay may lumapit sa kanilang isang lalaki na marahil ay nasa

Kabanata 31: The Bet

“NAKITA ko yung asawa mo kanina sa restaurant,” basag ni Vilmie sa nakakabinging katahimikan habang nagmamaneho ito.Their eyes met through the rearview mirror.“Yeah, he’s there. He’s with Liora Delgado,” Renese unbotheredly answered. Muling bumalik ang tingin niya sa hawak na phone.Ihahatid na siya ni Vilmie sa condo niya dahil wala naman na siyang gagawin. Si Vilmie naman ay pupunta sa Buindo Subdivision kung nasaan ang pansamantalang opisina niya.Next week ay bibisitahin na nila ang pinapagawa niyang physical boutique sa may Bonifacio Global Center. Halos isang taon na niya itong inaasikaso. Kapag tuluyan na iyong nagbukas ay magla-lay-low na muna siya sa mga brand endorsement since she wanted to focus on Danzari.Kumunot ang noo ni Renese at saka natigilan sa pag-scroll sa social media nang makatanggap na naman siya ng cryptic mail sa limang pagkakataon.Bumilis ang tibok ng puso niya at saka dahan-dahang pinindot ang noti

Kabanata 32: Burned Dreams

“NAKAKALOKA naman talaga ang mga issue mo this past few days, girl! Habang tumatagal ay naggo-glow up din!” maarteng sabi ni Frenly L at mas lalong tinutok sa mukha nito ang hawak na portable turbo fan kahit nakabukas naman ang aircon ng coffee shop kung nasaan sila ngayon.Nag-aya kasi si Frenly L na mag-bonding daw sila ngayong araw dahil lilipad na ito papuntang Vietnam bukas para magbakasyon at makipagkita sa bagong boyfriend nitong Vietnamese.Renese rolled her eyes and took a sip of her Chai Crème Frappuccino. “Better to be remembered than forgotten.”“Yeah, right? Sawang-sawa na nga ‘ko sa face mo, eh. Araw-araw ba naman kitang nakikita sa feed ko sa social media. Kung hindi ads, mga kalat na articles naman about sayo,” reklamo rin ni Shoelie habang naghihiwa ng inorder naman nitong red velvet cake.“You should be happy! At least you know that I’m still alive despite the issues circulating online,” sabi ni Renese.Nagpatuloy lang s

Kabanata 33: Nightmare

MADILIM at malamig ang kwarto kung nasaan si Renese. Nakatayo siya sa gitna ng hindi pamilyar na apartment habang ang kaniyang mga paa ay nakatapak sa malamig na sahig. Wala siyang suot na sapin sa paa.The faint smell of iron mixed with familiar old perfume hung in the air. Napansin niya rin ang mga nagkalat na empty cup noodles at mga damit na hindi niya alam kung kanino nanggaling.“Where am I?” she asked herself.Her breathing trembled as she stepped forward.“Renese...” someone called her.That voice. It sounds so familiar. Parang narinig niya na iyon noon ngunit hindi niya matandaan kung sino ang nagmamay-ari ng malambot na boses na iyon.The sound came from somewhere in the shadows near the window. She slowly turned her head, and there, sitting on the floor, was a woman in a white dress stained with deep red. Her long wavy hair hid most of her face, but even through the strands, Renese could see her trembling lips and those glassy, pleading eyes.“Renese...” the woman whispered

Kabanata 34: Heat

THE light of Renese’s room was warm. Tanging ilaw lang na nagmumula sa lampshade at nakabukas na pinto ng banyo ang nagbibigay ng liwanag sa kanilang dalawa.Mariing pinikit ni Renese ang mata niya at saka hinayaan si Zoren na halikan ang leeg niya. She even pulled his hair tightly, not minding if he got hurt or what. Nasa pagitan siya ng malamig na pader at ng mainit na katawan ng asawa niya.“Zoren...” she whispered under her breath. Her mind screamed stop, but her body wanted the opposite. Every nerve tingled, every inch of her skin awakened under her husband’s touch. “Stop...” she said.His wet and hot tongue teasingly licked her jaw. “You don’t want me to,” he murmured and smirked.Doon niya lang napagtanto na mahigpit pala ang hawak niya sa damit ng asawa niya. Bago pa man siya tablahan ng hiya ay muling sinakop ni Zoren ang labi niya.His breath grazed her cheek, then her jawline. His fingers slid behind her neck, tracing her skin with maddening precision. Every part of her wan

Kabanata 35: Sisters

“I REALLY can’t believe this happened. Parang last week lang ang saya-saya pa natin kasi dumating na ang limited edition na tela galing sa Italy tapos...” Humikbi si Vilmie. “Tapos ganito na ngayon.”Renese smiled without humor while looking up at the half-burnt signage of her shop. Tatlong araw na ang nakakalipas magmula nang masunog ang Danzari. Hindi pa rin inaalis ang yellow caution tape na nakalagay sa harap ng store upang maiwasan ang pagpasok ng kung sino-sino.Tahimik at dahan-dahang naglakad si Renese papasok. Iniwan niya si Vilmie sa labas na bumubuhos ang luha na para bang ngayon pa lang ang unang beses na makita nito ang Danzari na wala nang natira.For the past three days, Vilmie has always been visiting this on her behalf. Hindi niya pa kasi kayang makita sa ganitong kalagayaan ang pangarap niya—ngayon lang. Ngayon lang siya nagkaroon ng lakas ng loob.Ang takong ng suot niyang Cream Le Silla Les Nuances Petalo Pump 100 MM ang tumatama sa mga abong nasa sahig. May mga ba

Kabanata 36: Betrayal

“WHY ME?” nakakunot noong tanong ni Renese kay Elian habang nakatingin sa red and gold theme na invitation para sa isang charity gala. Pauwi na sana siya galing sa photo and video shoot for The Fifth Note, pero pinigilan siya ni Elian. Kasalukuyan silang nasa restaurant na katabi lang mismo ng studio. Inaalok siya nito na maging ka-partner para sa charity gala na gaganapin bukas ng gabi sa isang sikat na five-star hotel sa Parañaque City. “Why not?” He smiled. “Mr. Zoren Voss will surely come.” Kumunot ang noo niya at saka bumilis ang tibok ng puso niya. Don’t tell her alam nito ang sekreto niya?! She cleared her throat. “W-Why should I even care if Mr. Voss goes?” she asked with a raised eyebrow. Elian chuckled lightly. “Nakalimutan mo na ba? I already saw both of you together in Buindo Subdivision. I know there’s something going on between you two, but you haven’t said it publicly. But don’t worry, your secret is safe with me.” Nanlaki ang mata ni Renese. Yeah, right! Elian V

Kabanata 37: The Charity Gala

“YOU LOOK really gorgeous tonight, Renese,” puri ni Elian kay Renese habang naglalakad sila sa may lobby ng five-star hotel papunta sa hall kung saan gaganapin ang charity gala.Renese rolled her eyes. Ang kamay niya ay nakasukbit sa braso ng binata.“I know, right? You’ve been saying that countless times tonight. Ngayon ka lang ba nakaranas na magkaroon ng kapartner na dyosa?” ani niya sa lalaki na ikinatawa naman nito.She’s wearing a stunning, floor-length satin red gown. Ang style nito ay mermaid-cut na fitted sa upper body at pa-skirt naman sa bottom. The most striking detail of her outfit was the voluminous dark red 3D roses on her upper arms na para bang isa itong balabal ngunit mas bonga.She also has a simple pearl choker necklace with a small ruby pendant. Her shoulder-length wavy wine-red hair was in a wet look, and her makeup was flawless, with a focus on her bold red lips that matched her dress.Well, she’s aware that she was overdressed for an event like this, but she do

Kabanata 38: The Auction

“ARE you good? Did you two talk?” nakangising bulong ni Elian at saka bahagyang sumulyap sa lamesa nina Zoren. Hindi pa rin bumabalik ang asawa niya matapos niya itong iwan sa labas. Renese tsked. “Shut up, Elian, or you’ll lose your face tomorrow?” Elian chuckled playfully. “I know. Before I invited you here, my doctor and I were ready.” Tinaas baba pa nito ang kilay na para bang nang-aasar. Inirapan niya lang ang lalaki. Hindi na ulit nagkaroon ng pagkakataon si Elian na asarin siya dahil magsisimula na ang auction na pinaka inaabangan ng lahat. She saw in her peripheral vision that Zoren came back to his seat just now. The light dimmed again, letting the single spotlight highlight the stage. “Good evening once again, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for your patience. We now present our highlight items for tonight’s auction. Each piece is rare, luxurious, and promises a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Remember, all proceeds will go directly to the Golden Hope Cancer Foundation a

Kabanata 39: Father and Daughter

“CAUIS, let’s go home na. Hindi ko na kaya rito. Ang ingay, and you’re not even paying attention to me!“ Lioa said while holding Zoren’s arms. “Just wait for my driver outside, Lira. He’ll take you home,” Zoren coldly uttered and removed Liora’s hand from his arm. Kanina pa niya iniikot ang paningin niya upang hanapin ang asawa pero hanggang ngayon ay hindi niya pa rin ito nakikita. “What?! You’re not coming with me?” hindi makapaniwalang tanong ng kababata. “Tss. You’re not a kid anymore, Lira. You can handle yourself,” he irritatedly said and removed her hand from his arm for the second time. “But I want you to—” “Lira,” he warned, cutting her off. “Just go, I still have a lot of important matters to do here.” Liora pouted. “Fine!” She storms off, and Zoren doesn’t care. Nang tuluyan nang mawala si Liora sa landas niya ay ‘tsaka naman niya mas lalong pinag-igihan ang paghahanap sa asawa. Nang may dumaang waiter na may dalang alak ay kaagad niya itong kinuha nang hindi nagdada
