Vexed 16: Harsher Than Dreams
Athena’s P.O.V.
Liam Arthur Evangelista went out of what I thought was his ensuite restroom, then he went straight to me. I stood up, placing my shades on my head again to clearly see him.
Doon lang ako nagkaroon ng pagkakataong igala pa ang mga mata ko sa loob ng opisina niya because I was busy checking my CD Squared emails on my phone earlier. One customer who introduced herself as the Head of Staff to a Great German Aristocrat was asking me if I could do an immediate interior design of her boss’s daughter’s bedroom.
I replied to just send me the details—specifically the size of the room as well as the daughter’s preferences—and I would do that as soon as possible. My heart was close to Germans than the rest of Europe, so I would be prioritizing the said customer.
Going back to the office of the CEO, that was when I saw the two hanging picture fr

Athena’s P.O.V.I have to work with him. I know that I can work with him!Pero, bakit parang may mali? Did Kuya Liam discuss this to Daddy?Did my dad know anything about this—that I would be working with my ex-boyfriend here? Of all people, my father would be the first one to be against this.Knowing that Cristoff will be in the picture again, I could even imagine my father to put a long scowl on his face while refusing about this partnership. But now that Cristoff has finally established his own name, tututol pa rin kaya sa kanya si Daddy?Oh! Why would I even want to know? As if naman na magkakabalikan pa ulit kami ni Cristoff!“Okay—” Kuya Liam said, but I cut whatever the whole phrase would escape from his lips
Sabotaging My Walkout Queen Book 2 Vexed 18: Shattered Into Pieces
Athena’s P.O.V.Mukhang hindi niya ako titigilan, pero wala naman akong balak sabihin sa kanya kung ano man ang totoo. What if the playboy Section Head would deny me that we’ve dated before? Baka kumalat pa sa buong kumpanya na nag-iilusyon lang ako! Baka masampal ko lang siya sa harap ng maraming tao.“Hmm, I don’t remember him. I didn’t even think if there was a chance that I ran into him at St. Augustine.” I lied to her while wearing my poker face. “You’ve mentioned earlier that Helena was kinder than me, so you must have known way back in our third-year na hindi ako namamansin.”Ngayon lang ulit kami nagkita ni Evanna. Paano ako makakasigurong tatahimik ang bibig niya? Isa pa, I didn’t usually disclose details with someone I wasn’t that totally close to… but I hoped that someday, we would be really close to each other.&n

Athena’s P.O.V.“Oops, I think I have to go. Thanks for this and especially, for the convo…” I told Evanna after finishing my coffee. “I liked your coffee, so you better share with me your secret in blending this.”“It’s still ten-thirty, and you’re leaving so soon? May meeting ka pa kay Sir Liam mamaya, ‘di ba? Sabay na tayong mag-lunch. I won’t share my secret if you wouldn’t accept my invitation over lunch,” Evanna offered, blackmailing me at the same time.“If you won’t like to share it, then I have no other choice but to steal it. Maybe some other time, Evanna. I promise to join you over lunch… but for now, I’ll go ahead.” I bade her goodbye as I earnestly kissed her on her right cheek, hoping that this would be the start of our friendship.“I’ll be sure to r
Sabotaging My Walkout Queen Book 2 Vexed 20: How To Hold On?
Athena’s P.O.V.“Kumusta na kayo ni Cristoff, Athena. Nagkita na ba ulit kayong dalawa?” tanong ni Ate Paula. Ngayong hindi na mapipigilan pa ang muli naming pagkikita ng lalaking naging lahat-lahat sa’kin noon, hindi na rin napigilan ni Ate Paula ang sariling bibig para tanungin ako.Nandito kami ngayon sa condo unit ko sa ALeour. Dad bought this as a twenty-third birthday present for me two months ago. Tanging helper lang ang nag-aasikaso rito noon until I came here last month. It was different from the other units—tipong pinasadya talaga.It has five bedrooms—a modern bachelorette’s pad kung maraming libangan ang titira. I mean, you could transform the other rooms depending on your needs or wants.Then, every single thing from the spacious living room, kitchen, and dining hall were all customized. I really loved the combination of red and

Athena’s P.O.V.“Naku! Kapag nakakita ako ng gwapo mamaya sa meeting room tapos single pa siya, aangkinin ko na lang. I mean—susunggaban ko talaga siya at hindi ko na pakakawalan pa. Ay, baka ma-late na pala kami. Bye na, Ate Paula! Oops… baka dumating pala ‘yong in-order ko sa Shappy, Ate. Ikaw nang bahala ha?” Nadine also kissed Ate Paula before we finally left.We went outside my unit with happiness still reflected on our faces. But I guessed that mine was fake. We were about to take the elevator to go straight to the parking lot, since I would be driving my Honda Mobilio, when a uniformed man with his security earpiece—I guessed that he was only in his mid-twenties—suddenly showed up and introduced himself as our chauffeur for today.“Architect Athena Delgado? I’m Roger Navallo. I am one of the official chauffeurs of EGC and here’s my

Athena’s P.O.V.Mamayamaya rin ay nakarating na kami sa kumpanya ni Kuya Liam. Hindi ko alam kung bakit bigla na lang akong kinabahan. ‘Yong inis ko kanina kay Roger at Nadine ay napalitan na agad ng hindi maipaliwanag na pangamba sa kung anong magiging kahihinatnan ng muli naming pagkikita.This is it, Athena!There’s no turning back now.It is now or never. Prove to him na hindi lang siya ang nakapag-move on… na hindi lang siya ang nakapag-let go… na hindi siya kawalan sa’yo!Kung kinakailangan mong magsinungaling at sabihin sa kanyang natuloy ang engagement mo kay Tyler, then do it. You could also tell him na marami ka na ring ipinalit sa kanya after all these years!My heart beats freaking even much faster when I stepped out of the elevator at the thirty-second fl

Athena’s P.O.V.It’s really a pleasure to finally meet you, Architect Delgado!To finally meet you, Architect Delgado!Architect Delgado!Tapos na niyang sabihin ‘yon pero paulit-ulit pa ring tumatakbo ang mga katagang ‘yon sa isipan ko. With him calling me as Architect Delgado sounded too distant after all. Hindi lang ‘yon. His face fell into an expression I had never have associated with his features before.Kung wala lang kaming pangit na nakaraan noon, masasabi kong totoo ang mga ngiting ipinapakita niya sa akin ngayon. Pero kailangan kong tanggapin na wala nang ‘kami’ ngayon. Na kailangan ko nang ibaon ang lahat sa limot.For Christ’s sake! Don’t fall for that smile, Athena! It’s absolutely fake.It&

Athena’s P.O.V.“So, what do you have for all of us here, Architect? Aren’t you going to present your 3D blueprint layouts now and explain those to us? The projector is waiting,” Cristoff said in an abhorrent distaste.Is it just me… o naging iba na talaga ‘yong tono ng pananalita niya sa akin?Masakit. Hindi ko alam kung hanggang kailan ko kakayaning magpanggap na manhid. Ni minsan, hindi ko inakalang magkakaganito kaming dalawa. I wanted to ignore the hell out of him, but I could not. Gusto kong isipin na nagseselos lang siya, pero wala namang dahilan.A thin smile formed on my lips, trying to mock him and hide my real feelings here. I was about to answer him when Kuya Liam interrupted.“Dave, isn’t it too early to discuss those things? This meeting was just supposedly for every one of us to wel
