I meet a man last night and he said he is Angelo. The body is aching a lot making me feel more alive and in reality. I’m so much convinced now that Angelo is just a dream after standing up. This is the reality that I know. This house is my prison which I wanted to escape from. Still unmoved, I look at the open window and the outside to the forest. ‘Is there really a mansion down there?’

I frowned as I looked at the man’s hand, a heavy feeling settling in my chest, and though I didn’t understand the reason behind it or what it was, I knew for fact that I didn’t like it. “I got a little injury that I got. Nothing too major to worry about,” he said, and Diego nodded at his father without saying a word. “To what do I owe the honor? You know, the last thing that I would have expected after the long few nights that you had was for you to be coming here.” “Your men have been reporting well,” Diego said sarcastically.

When we got out, we walked to the canteen but it arrived! The engineers! They approached us but only one caught my eye. A man with eye glasses, he has a brown eyes, his eyelashes are quite long, his nose is also sharp, his lips are naturally red and he is taller than me. He came closer to me so I almost blushed while looking at him "Hello, I'm Kyle Anthony Pangilinan," he said and extended his hand. I closed my eyes a few times maybe I was just squinting but no, this handsome man is real!

I remain composed with a small smile plastered on my face. Maximo smirks at me, his gaze simply darkening in a frightening way. It's the first time he has looked at me like this, “ Isn’t that right, Samantha? You won’t play any tricks on us right, cause you know I am itching to burn stuff up,” My senses are alert and I offer a sharp node. He snaps his fingers, “ Great, Santino, call her brother.” He instructs. As he ashes up the cigar in his palms. I took note of how he only smokes one type of cigar, the most expensive one in the world. He is truly living up to his billionaire reputation.

Ang nasa tabi namannito ay kasingtangkad ni Adrian, halata na kaagad sa hitsura na may ibang lahi ang lalaking ito. "Hey, man!" Bati ng matangkad na lalaki. Napabaling naman siya kay Erika na humawak sa kaniyang beywang. "Gwapo 'no?" bulong nito dahilan upang sikuhin niya. "Hey, Mr. Macapanas." Napangiwi si Yesha. Halata kasing may ibang lahi pero pang pilipinas ang apelyido. "Hey, Rios." Kinamayan nito si Shawn bago nakipagkamay sa kaniya.

Walang prenong sabi ni Manang. Oh my goodness, that doesn’t sound right. Hilaw kong tinawanan si Manang dahil sa lantaran niya at nahiyang tignan si Philip na ngayon ay walang hiyang nakangisi, na para bang gusto ang narinig. As if Selene!

sabi nito sa akin kaya agad naman akong napatango. “Sino naman ang kapatid ko na Red ang pangalan. Bakit hindi ko s'ya nakikita rito?” pagtatanong ko muli. Napatingin naman siya sa akin. “Ah, si señor ho. Nasa Manila po s'ya at nag-aaral ng pag-aabogasya. Nais po s'yang isama sa eleksyon ng iyong ama rito sa San Cabrini upang maging gobernador,” pagbibigay alam niya.
