“NASAAN ka? I’ve been calling you for hours, Verena! Bakit hindi mo sinasagot ang tawag ko?” bulyaw ng pinsan ko sa kabilang linya na si Rona. I rolled my eyes. Nang pagbuksan naman ako ng driver ng pinto ay ngumiti ako nang matamis. “Boyfriend ba kita para sagutin ko ang tawag mo? Gosh, Rona! Sinabi ko naman sa iyo kagabi na magja-Japan lang ako. Alam mo namang ngayon ang labas ng Haikyuu sa Cinema, hindi ba? I’ve been waiting for this day since the day na nag-announce sila ng movie—”“Stop! Geez, why are you so into those movies? At bakit hindi ka pinipigilan ng boyfriend mo? Nagkakapera lang ang ibang kumpanya at bansa dahil sa ginagawa mong pagtangkilik sa ganiyan, Verena! Mas mabuti pa ay umuwi ka na. Nagpatawag ng meeting ang buong Lacroix, and you need to be there.” Another meeting. It only means one thing. Hindi naman ako pinalaking walang alam sa mga bagay-bagay na nangyayari sa pamilya namin. I’m spoiled, but I also have to earn it. I can’t just spend their billions withou

“I CAN’T do it, Rona! You know I have a boyfriend! William is coming home this month. I can’t let him see me flirting with other men!” kontra ko sa pinsan. “It’s a bet, Verena. Besides, ikaw na mismo ang nagsabi, hindi ba? You can make him fall in love within a month,” nakangiting sabi ni Rona. “Right. And we told everyone beforehand that if you ever did the job perfectly – you are going to live your life peacefully with William. It means you won’t need to do tasks like this after Remmington Accardi. It’s a win-win situation, Verena. You should not waste opportunities like this,” Taite butted in. Nasa loob pa rin kami ng VVIP Room. The music outside can’t be heard from here, and only their voices were echoing inside my head. Making me go crazy as time passes by. “This is not just about the opportunity, Taite! You never had a serious boyfriend so you don’t have anything to worry about, but I have! I will worry about what William will think of me. He will definitely see me as a woman

A HUGE mansion. Good helpers. And a jerk boss. “Is she the new hire? A maid, you say?” His deep voice sounds sexy. He has a very nice pair of brown eyes too. Halos hindi ako makaimik habang nasa harap ng lalaking tinatawag nilang Remmington Accardi. No words can explain his whole appearance so well… except that, he looks very gorgeous as hell. He was chewing something on his mouth while smirking at me. His almond eyes looked beautiful, it goes well with his wide lips. I can’t believe that he is rumored to be a mafia boss. Nanonood naman ako ng mga action movies, aside sa mga animated series sa Japan sa gustong-gusto ko. And mostly, in those action movies – the mafia bosses are always ugly looking. With bald head, a huge mustache, bad odor, and they are also short. But this guy, even just sitting – I can say that he is a six footer. “Yes, boss,” sagot ng lalaking nasa likod ng sofa na inuupuan niya. “Ha,” he lets out a soft chuckle. He even stared at me from head to foot, and sudde

TILA hangin ang galaw nito sa sobrang bilis. Nakita ko na lamang ang sariling nasa loob ng bisig niya. “What the! Shut up. I’m not a ghost!” My eyes widened. Panic filled my system as I struggle to get freed from him. “It’s me, Remmington! Calm down!” I can’t! Kung kanina ay natakot ako sa multo, ngayon naman ay sa kaniya na! How can I calm down now that he is holding me?! Bigla ay pumasok sa isipan ko ang nakita sa telebisyon. The news about the woman named Rosey Buenaflor made my whole body trembled in fear. Hinila ko ang kamay niya paalis sa bibig ko at nagtagumpay naman ako. “Get off of me! –” He immediately covered my mouth again when I started shouting. “I will, but you have to calm down. Don’t shout, okay?” At tulad ng sabi niya ay mabilis niya akong binitawan dahilan para lumayo ako kaagad. I just realized then that the reason his face was white was because of the facemask he is wearing. Now that he is close to me, I saw that the white dress I thought the ghost was weari

“ANG malas ko talaga kagabi!” bulalas ni Lera habang naghuhugas ng mga pinggan. “Anong nangyari na naman ba?” tanong ni Sheena. “Nanaginip kasi ako kagabi. Kasama ko ang crush ko na si Jungkook tapos mag-k-kiss na dapat kami noong biglang may narinig akong sigaw. Parang tinatawag si Manang Gina—” Mabilis akong naubo pagkatapos mabilaukan. Mabilis na lumapit sa akin si Sheena. “Dahan-dahan lang, Honey. Ayos ka lang ba, ha?” Naibaba ko ang hawak na baso ng tubig para lang tapikin ang dibdib ko. “O-Oo, ayos lang… nagulat lang,” mahina kong sabi sabay iwas ng tingin. “Naku, uhaw na uhaw ka ba, Honey?” naiiling na sabi ni Lera pagkatapos ay ngumiti. “So, ayon nga at narinig kong may sumisigaw ng pangalan ni Manang Gina kaya nagising ako ng kaonti—” “Ah, diligan ko muna ang mga tanim sa harden. Mauna na ako sa inyo,” singit ko at tumalikod kaagad pero nabangga ako sa isang matigas na bagay. “Anong mayroon dito?” The hard thing I bumped into vibrated when that person asked. Doon ko n

I’M DOOMED.Hindi ko inisip na mangyayari ang bagay na ito dahil hindi naman ako kahit kailan na-attract sa iba. And I’m not used to how my body reacts to him. It feels so hot every time he is near me. Pakiramdam ko ay bibigay agad ako kapag inaya niya ako sa kama. Which I can’t let happen. I have a boyfriend. William is my long-time boyfriend for six years. I’m already twenty-five and just waiting to be freed from my family’s caged, then I will asked William to marry me. We will have a family, and children. Iyon ang plano ko simula pa lang noon. Iyon ang gusto kong mangyari, pero nagkandaloko-loko lahat ng gusto ko dahil lang ipinadala nila ako rito sa mansyon ni Remmington. “So? How was it? Is he hot?” tanong ni Rona. She’s on the phone, as I tried to hide myself inside the bathroom for privacy. “Stop it, Rona. I need your help. Please, gawan mo ng paraan para mapapayag sila. Kailangan kong makaalis dito, Rona. Mababaliw ako kapag ipinagpatuloy ko ito,” bulong ko sa kaniya habang

“NAPANSIN ninyo? Parang hindi na masiyado umaalis si Sir Rem dito sa mansyon,” bigla ay sabi ni Lera. Sabay kaming lumingon ni Sheena kay Remmington na nandoon sa sala. Kausap nito si Mics, pero mula rito sa kinatatayuan namin ay wala kaming marinig na kahit ano. “Baka wala na siyang trabaho sa ibang bansa,” sagot ni Sheena pero umiling agad si Lera.“Narinig ko kayang nagreklamo si Mics kahapon. Ang rami raw kasing tumatawag kay Sir Rem mula sa ibang bansa. Gusto raw siyang makausap at ma-meet sa personal, pero sinasabi lang ni Sir Rem na marami pa raw siyang gagawin dito. Iyon nga lang ay sinabi sa akin ni Mics na wala naman daw talagang trabaho si Sir Rem dito sa Pilipinas masiyado. Ang pinakahuli ata ay iyong sa pinagawa niyang beach resort sa Pangasinan,” sunod-sunod na sabi ni Lera. Lumingon pa ito kay Remmington bago niya tinitigan ng mariin ang lalaki. “Hindi kaya ay dahil sa nangyari roon sa nagpapanggap na maid? Naaapektuhan ba si Sir Rem sa mga fake news na kinalat ng ba
Fated Play CHAPTER 8: REMMINGTON ACCARDI
“I TOLD you she was a bad news, Remmington. Look at you now, if people learns that what that woman said was really true then you will lost everything that you have. Even if she dies, she will still have the last laugh,” my cousin, Harvien Kavanagh, uttered with dismay on his face. I chuckled at that. “I don’t really give a fuck if she gets the last laugh, as long as she dies,” malamig kong turan dito.Hindi ako makapaniwala sa nangyari. That woman, Rosey Buenaflor, was a spy brought by a magazine company! She tried to get into our mansion to actually learn more things about me. To unveil the mask I’ve been wearing ever since, but that was a wrong move on her part. Getting caught in my studies, and her writing in her blog about my real identity is actually her calling for death. “Kapag may ginawa ka ngayon ay lalong pagdududahan ka ng lahat. They will think that you killed her to shut her up. You shouldn’t move unless the issue dies--”“I can’t wait until the issue dies, Harvien. I ne
