Lahat ng Kabanata ng Bewitched Attorney (Entice Series 2): Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

CHAPTER 32I bit my lips. It made my heart flutter... Or maybe, me and Ayannah are related so that I am the first person to come to his mind if he needed someone to lean on. Iyon na ang naging pangamba ko sa nagdaang ilang oras. Kasama nga ni Limuel si Ayannah. Pinatuloy ko si Ayannah sa amin, doon siya nanatili habang binago ni Limuel ang pangalan niya bilang Anna Hermes.Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko. She doesn't want to know anybody where she is. Naging busy ako sa trabaho ng mga nagdaang araw at bihira ko rin siyang mabisita. Limuel told me eveyrthing also. She pushes Millary on the stairs. Si Millary, iyong artista at childhood bestfriend ng amo ko na ngayon ay buntis... at si Immanuel ang ama. Nagsampa ang pamilya ni Millary sa nangyari at pinaghahanap na si Aya kung kaya ay pinalitan muna ni Limuel ang pangalan ni Ayannah bilang Anna.This was a disaster. Ngunit mas nagkalapit lang kami ni Limuel. Kami lang ang nakakaalam ng nangyari. He trusted me well. Magkasama kami pal

CHAPTER 34 They say you can never outrun your fate. Perhaps they're right. Maybe this truly is mine, this relentless, suffocating existence where living feels synonymous with drowning in an endless pit of hell. I don't know. Sabi nila kapag sukong-suko ka na, bibigyan ka ng tadhana ng isang bagay na pag-iisipan mo kung isusuko mo ba o magpapatuloy ka pa. This time, that something is Limuel. He's the only one standing beside us now, especially when the accusations from the people around us have become vicious and personal. Maybe because of him, I have a reason to defend myself, my family against these cruel insinuations. Maybe there are still good people in this world, people who can see through the lies, and he's one of them. Kahit nga sa paghatid sa amin pauwi ng bahay ay nagkusa pa siya. I sighed. I still can't figure out what's running through that mind of his, but perhaps he understood something I didn't. Perhaps he knew, that Mama could never do the things they're accusi

CHAPTER 36There's a ton of things that I carried. Ilang linggo nang ma-coma at hindi nagigising si Jojo. Worse, there was still not a shred of evidence to prove my mother’s innocence. Pushed into a corner, I ended up making the most gut-wrenching decision of my life.Iyong sarili kong ina. Dinala ko sa mental hospital.I'll never imagine this day would come. That people started to burn fire inside Mother's heart. Ayaw ko lang na makita siyang nahihirapan. Gusto ko na siyang gumaling, kaya kahit na ayaw ko at wala sa puso ay sinunod ko na ang gusto ni Mayor Garcia. Ipinasok ko na siya sa mental hospital.Pumirma ako ng papeles, dinala siya sa mental hospital. At ngayon ay lahat ng tao ay naniniwala na talaga na baliw si Mama.Isang linggo na rin na hindi kami nagkikita ni Limuel. Isang linggo na rin na wala si Mama sa bahay. And it felt to draining. Mabuti na lang din at inaya ako ni Ayannah na mag-bar."Buti pinayagan ka ni Immanuel?" I smirked and hide the blue in my face.Humalakha

CHAPTER 38"I hope you understand, Talia," Limuel said into the other line, his voice low but clear enough to reach my ears.Kausap niya na naman si Talia na never niya namang pinakilala sa akin! Sino ba talaga 'yon? Hindi naman sa nagseselos pero... sino ba siya? Kaibigan ni Limuel? Kamag-anak? If she were just a platonic acquaintance, he should have just told me stories about her casually. Instead, he acted as if he would take the secret of their relationship to his grave, refusing to admit whatever bond he shared with that woman.Pabalang kong kinuha ang paper bag ng Jollibee atsaka tinalikuran si Limuel. I hear his footsteps behind me. Umikot ang mata ko sa kadahilanang ramdam niya ang inis ko.Pumasok ako sa loob ng kaniyang kotse, he got on the driver's side a moment later, his gaze shifting to study my profile. Before he could even open his mouth to speak, I beat him to it, desperate to mask just how irritated I actually felt."Hindi mo naman kailangan na samahan ako, Limuel!"

CHAPTER 40I bit my lips so hard that I almost taste copper. My heart hammered against my ribcage like it was trying to break free, but I forced myself to stand perfectly still in front of him. I made my body rigid, my expression unyielding, even though everything inside me was crumbling beneath the emotions I couldn't control."I'm going to investigate that?" He repeated the question, as if he needed confirmation.Everything was such a mess. I couldn't even begin to untangle it myself. Hindi ko lang alam kung bakit sa dinami-dami ng taong kaya kong hingan ng request ay si Limuel pa."Yup. Ayaw mo? Edi huwag. Madali naman akong kausap eh," saad ko dahil gusto ko na lang na bawiin ang sinabi niya.He scoffed at that, then let out a chuckle that made something flutter in my stomach. Tinaasan ko siya nang kilay nang wala man lang pumasok na sagot sa tenga ko."Di ba? Nahihirapan ka sa akin? Ayaw mo akong makitang may kasamang ibang lalaki pero ayaw mo rin akong girlfriend-in? Ang lakas d
