Upstairs At The White House

After a totally disastrous marriage, she has decided to keep her heart locked away for the rest of her life from the most hurtful things that can ever come to her. To be precise, men. She has finally realised that it’s so stupid to rely on any man or bid her own happiness on them. Even if it can be tough to be a bread earner and a single mom at the same time, even if she feels lonely at times, she will never ever enter any romantic relationship anymore. There’ll only be one person she will love with her whole heart, her babies. She can do this, and she must do this, because she is an independent strong woman who is the owner of her own fate. However what happens when the man she has solely voted to be away from comes to her aid? He comes back and asks her to be his wife? “Marry me ex-wife” on his knees, he begs. “Sorry, ex-husband, I can’t.”

Everyone in the Rossi family knows that their Don, Giovanni Rossi, loves me, Rebecca Costa, more than anyone else. Ever since we got together, he has stopped attending any social events that involve other women. We promised to marry once he returns from negotiating a dangerous arms deal in Aelfana. He was supposed to come back a week before the wedding, but instead, he returned on the eve of the wedding with Rosa Bianchi, his stepsister, in his arms. Rosa was unconscious, and traces of intimacy were visible on her skin. Giovanni kneeled before me, his expression remorseful. "Rebecca… I was drugged. I never meant to betray you. When Rosa threw herself at me, I thought she was you." And I believed him. At least, I did until I overheard a conversation in the changing room backstage at our wedding. One of his men asks, in disbelief, "Did you really mistake her for Rebecca?" "I did for the first night. But for the rest of the week… well, a man ought to have his bit of freedom before getting married." My fingers clench around my phone. In my inbox sits an unopened message—a marriage invitation from Angelo Calavaro, the most enigmatic Don in southern Ilya's underworld. I know what I have to do.

Nalaman ko na buntis ako kasabay ng childhood sweetheart ng asawa ko na si Rosa. Para protektahan ang kanyang anak mula sa pagpapaabort, sinabi ng asawa ko na anak niya iyon. Sa anak ko? Pinagaan niya ang loob ko, sinabi niya na aangkinin lang niya ang bata kapag isinalang na ito. Kinumpronta ko siya, gusto ko malaman kung bakit niya ito ginagawa sa akin. Malamig at walang alinlangan ang sagot niya: “Ang angkinin ang baby ang tanging paraan para protektahan sila pareho. Hindi ko hahayaan na may mangyari sa kanya o sa baby niya.” Sa oras na iyon, habang nakatingin ako sa lalaki na minahal ko ng sampung taon, napagtanto ko na namatay na ang pag-ibig ko para sa kanya. Hindi nagtagal, kinundena ako ng pamilya ko, tinatawag akong pokpok dahil nagkaanak ako ng wala itong ama at pinressure ako na magpa-abort. Samantala, nasa ibang lungsod naman ang asawa ko, kasama ang sweetheart niya, tinutulungan siya sa kanyang pagdadalantao. Sa oras na nakabalik siya, nakaalis na ako.

Ang kapangahasan ni Rose ang nagdala sa kanya sa isang malaking panganib. Kung saan sa malayong probinsiya at liblib na bayan sa Cotabato siya ay napadpad. Habang nasa biyahe ay hinarang ang kanyang sinasakyang bus ng mga masasamang loob. Binitbit siya ng mga armadong lalaki na may nakakatakot na mga pagmumukha. Animo mga buwitreng gutom na nakakita ng karneng pag-aagawan sa katauhan niya. Nanganganib siyang malapastanganan. Subalit sa kabila ng takot ay hindi pinanghinaan ng loob si Rose. Dinala sya ng grupo sa kuta ng mga ito at ginawang bihag. Sa puntong iyon alam niyang nasa panganib ang kanyang buhay lalo na at natipuhan siya ni Horan ang mabagsik na pinuno ng mga bandidong dumukot sa kanya. Napasakamay siya sa pangangalaga ni Dimitri. Ang lalaking may mala-leon na lisik ng mata. Ngunit Imbis na mas lalong mangamba sa kaligtasan ay natagpuan niya ang sariling nais na mahulog sa mga bisig ng lalaking tulisan.
