The Sweet Revenge Epilogue
"Daddy, can I play with Kerrin after school?" Zella, my seven-year-old daughter, asked. I put down my paper and glanced at her. She was peeking at the door of my room, pouting, and her hands were clasped. I motioned for her to come closer, which she did, but her mouth pouted more."Did I say that you should call him Kuya Kerrin because he's five years older than you?" I said softly. Zella snaked her arms around my waist and looked up at me."I told you, Daddy. I like Kuya Kerrin," she shyly said. I chuckled lightly, carried her, and made her sit on my lap. I removed my eyeglasses and started combing her hair using my slender fingers. I stared at my daughter's eyes and smiled as I saw that some of her features mirrored her mother's."But your mom won't like it when she hears it; you're too young for that kind of stuff, my princess." Zella bit her lower lip, trying to restrain herself from crying, but she couldn't. Umalpas ang luha sa mata niya at nahihiya siyang nagtago ng mukha sa dib
The Sweet Revenge Prologue
PROLOGUE"His family recently notified us via email that he passed away this morning after being paralyzed for more than two months."A man wearing a black tuxedo smiled slightly as he heard what his secretary had said.He was watching what was happening below the building through the glass wall, as if everything were just a toy he could control with his hand."Call Attorney Vaugh, and tell him that he needs to do the papers so Mr. Xendler's half would be transferred-" His secretary interrupted him, she looked embarrassed as she proceeded.A deathglare can be seen in his black eyes as his brows furrow. Nobody could risk breaking the enveloping tension, "His lawyer claimed he would not transfer his shares from you. His daughter will takeover his position."His secretary shivered in fear as she was unable to respond to the man's indignant inquiry, "How come? He has no child!"When someone had the audacity to open the door, he quickly glanced that way. His mouth dropped open as soon as

Her plansWho knows that this is how it feels to see your enemy almost turning pale while wearing their shocked face. It is kinda satisfying as well as my favorite moment so far."How's the meeting with the board? Hindi ka naman hinarang sa labas ng opisina 'di ba?" I rolled my eyes and began smoothly shaking the glass of my wine while a small yet sarcastic grinned plastered on my lips."Zy, you have no permission to interrupt their meeting yet you did," he added."As far as I know I am now the chairman of the board after Dad passed away. What's wrong with that?" Tinaliman ko ng tingin si Duex na biglang napaayos ng upo sa couch ko at patagong natawa.Huminga ako ng malalim at pinagkrus ang binti habang pinaglalaruan ang yelo sa inumin. Saglit pa akong napataray nang maalala ang reaksyon ni Styx. Looks like he saw a ghost but maybe I am . . . the ghost of his past."Tsk. I'm just concerned about you, babe. Anong sabi ng pinakamamahal mong asawa?" Muntik ko nang madura ang iniinom ko sa

Business ProposalBumuntong hininanga ako matapos ang limampung minutong pagtitig sa puti kong kisame. Hindi ko mabilang kung ilang beses akong nagpakawala ng malalim ng buntong hininga dahil hindi maalis sa isipan ko ang nangyari kagabi sa party.Styx said kept on running and appearing on my mind. The way he uttered 'I miss you' was so realistic that I almost believed it. Sarkastiko akong napangisi at naikuyom ang kamay na nakalagay sa ibabaw ng dibdib. Nakasuot pa rin ako pantulog at gulo-gulo pa rin ang buhok dahil wala akong lakas na bumangon ngayon araw. Ilang beses ko ring narinig ang pagtunog ng telepono hanggang sa inis akong bumangon at sinagot 'yon."Good morning," masayang bati ng nasa kabilang linya pero wala ako sa mood para sumagot."Tsk, tsk. Ano't nakasimangot ka na naman, aga-aga, ah?" Pumunta ako sa loob ng cr at humarap sa salamin, napasimangot ako nang makita ang itsura ko. B'wiset. Para akong walang buhay."Sabagay lagi ka namang nakasimangot," dagdag niya at huma

The Kiss "I suggest, we expand the casino so we'd attract more tourist since our target are foreigners and businessmen. What do you think Mr. Syruis?" Nanlaki ang mata niya at napaayos ng upo matapos marinig ang sinabi ko. Tsk, tsk. Sabi na at hindi siya nakikinig dahil kanina pa siya nakatitig sa 'kin habang pinaglalaruan ang kanyang ballpen. Ngumiti siya ng alanganin bago ilibot ang paningin sa mga taong nakaupo sa mahabang lamesa na ngayon ay inaantay ang sasabihin niya. Lahat sila ay nasa kanya ang atensyon kaya hindi ko maiwasang mapangisi."I agree with uhm, Ms. Xedler. That's nice suggestion." Tumango ako bago nagpatuloy. I need to earn their trust as soon as possible. Lahat sila ay nagdadalawang-isip pa sa kakayahan ko pero hindi ko hahayaang maging gano'n lang ang tingin nila sa 'kin sa paglipas ng panahon.Umupo ako sa swivel chair habang pumipirma ng mga papel na inabot ng secretary ko, hindi pa rin ako kumakain kaya ramdam ko ang pagkalam ng sikmura ko pero hindi ko 'yon p

Reunion"Sasusunod na gawin mo 'yon walang kaibi-kaibigan ah?!" sigaw ko kay Duex habang kinakabit ang hikaw sa tenga ko. Inis akong sumulyap sa kanya na ngayon ay tawa-tawang nakamasid sa 'kin habang nakadantay ang dalawang braso sa sofa.Nakapasok siya sa bahay ko habang tulog ako dahil may sarili siyang susi rito sa bahay. Madalas siyang tumambay dito kaya hinayaan kong may susi siya pero hindi para gisingin ako ng maaga! Late na ako nakatulog kagabi, hindi pa rin mawala sa isip ko kung paano ako titigan ni Styx kagabi. He looked at me like he is really in love with me. Nakakatawa dahil habang masayang-masaya siyang kinukuha ang loob ko ay palihim ko siyang tinatawanan.Nag-uumpisa pa lang ako sa plano but everything was going smoothly according to our plans. Hindi kami nahihirapan dahil si Styx na mismo ang lumalapit sa 'kin at halos lumuhod sa harapan ko para mapatawad siya.In-expect ko nang mangyayari 'to but hindi gano'n kabilis. Kinailangan ko pang tiisin ang mga halik niya p

Zenith'Yong pakiramdam na akala mo okay na pero panandalian lang pala. That's when you realized that things won't stay like that forever. Kung makaramdam ka man ng kasiyahan ay darating din sa puntong babalik din sa lahat, walang panandalian maging ang kasiyahan."You said that she's in Florida." I gritted my teeth while my fist were clenched. Ilang beses na nangilid ang luha ko bago ko siya tapunan ng tingin."Ang sabi mo wala siya rito?" puno ng sumbat na tanong ko. He shifted his weight uncomfortably and looked at my eyes straightly."'Yon din ang alam ko, Zy." I laughed sarcastically while trying to hide the pain that I have felt inside me. Inilibot ko ang paningin sa apat na sulok na opisina ko na tila na mahahanap ko roon ang sagot sa daan-daang tanong na tumatakbo sa isipan ko.Kailan pa siya nakauwi?And why the hell did she come back?I don't know why but recalling what happened in the grocery immediately clenched my heart."Honestly, Zy, don't be mad at me. I have no control

JealousBuong araw ay ginugol ko ang oras sa pagtapos ng mga papeles para ma-check ang location sa Zambales. It was really an exhausted day because something came up and it created a huge problem in our company. The team was now doing their task to address it but I couldn't think properly because I know some of them will blame me. Kasalanan ko ba na nag-back out ang investors galing France? Anong magagawa ko? We need them to continue our projects, we can sue them for not following the contracts and the legal team are now working on it."Kaya mo bang pumunta mag-isa doon? Hindi ka ba maliligaw?" tanong ni Duex at sumandal pa sa kotse ko habang magka-krus ang braso.It's a BMW and I got it from him, it was his gift."May waze naman." I combed my hair using my fingers out of frustration. Napaka-stressful talaga!He arched a brow, I examine his body. He was only wearing a plain white shirt partnered with khaki shorts. Bumagay sa kanya, well, lahat naman."Okay, just call me when you need
