Parang luxury suite sa isang five star hotel. Kung basta ako tatakas, alam kong walang mangyayari. Mahuhuli lang ako. I have to think better ideas. Kung saan hindi ako masyadong lantad at hindi ako mapapahamak. Ayos nang mabagal ang usad, basta siguradong may resulta. And then, it struck me. A plan, a strategy, a calculated risk.

“Ano ba ang dapat kong isuot?” “No need to think about that. Ako na ang bahala bukas.” Tumango na lang ako. Naihatid na nila ako ilang bloke sa school gate at nakababa na ako ng kotse nang bigla akong tawagin ulit ni Cain. Nilingon ko siya. “Bakit?” “Kahit pa ano ang sabihin sa iyo ni Chance, sa tingin ko mas makabubuti sa iyo kung ako ang pipiliin mo at hindi siya. He’s not what you think he is. He is not an ordinary person.”

"I stayed true to my core values, my goals, and I followed my passion. It wasn't always easy from the beginning, but with resilience and a never-give-up spirit, I was able to surmount all the hurdles on this journey.” Kitang-kita ko kung paano na-amaze ang mga tao sa press meeting sa tuwing sasagot ako ng mga tanong tungkol sa business ko. Isa iyong sa mga nagustuhan nila sa akin dahil marami sila natututunan. “Ms. Lewis, there are rumors of your past life. How true is it that you were a mistreated wife before?"

“Well, kung iyon ang kapalaran nya, so be it. Pero kung ako saiyo, sasabihin ko sa kanya ang tungkol kay Debbie. Magpapaliwanag rin ako. Malay mo, magkaroon pa kayo ng chance.” May pagak sa mga labing natawa siya, “Sa laki ng galit sa akin ni Denver, imposible pang mapatawad nya ako. Besides, ayoko ng magtake ng chances. Okay na ako sa ganitong tahimik na buhay.”

Huminga ako ng malalim at ngumiti "Sige, Thea. G! Subukan natin." Kahit may part ng utak ko na nagsisigaw na huwag, may isa pang boses na nagbubulong ano kung ito na yung chance ko para malaman kung may halaga ba talaga ako kay Hiro?
