Rex's POVPagkahatid ko kay Eliyah sa suit namin ay bumaba ulit ako para kausapin si mommy. I didn't know that she's here! And damn, she knows it. I know she knows it. Hindi na ako makakawala pa. With her message, alam kong matagal na siyang nanghihinala... and tonight she proved to herself that she's right. "Mom-"I couldn't finish my sentence because of her slap. My head turned to other direction because of the intensity of her slap. Napalunok ako at napahawak sa pisnging sinampal niya. "You're such a disgusting man, Rex! Nakakadiri ka! You're a married man! A family man! May asawa ka na! But here you are, fucking and flirting with your mistr-"I clenched my jaw and cut her off. "Mom! Don't you ever call Eliyah with that word." mariin kong ani. I respect my mother so much. Isa siya sa mga rason bakit andito pa ako sa pamilyang ito. Because I love them so much. I could just cut off my relationship towards this fucking family but I didn't because a part of me... knows that they are

Eliyah's POV"Lock her inside her room!" my father ordered his men as I kept on crying and begging not to do it. "Pagbabayaran mo ang ginawa mo! You're a damn mistress for fuck's sake, Eliyah! Hindi kita pinalaking ganun!" he continued shouting as his chest moves in fast pace.I shook my head then knelt down on the floor, crying like a mess. "D-Dad, please... d-don't do it-"He held me at my shoulder then shake it. "Eliyah! Wake up! You need to learn your lessons! Drag her out of my site!" he then started walking away from me."I-Is this what you want? For me to s-suffer, dad?" nanghihina kong tanong. Natigilan siya sa paglalakad pero hindi pa rin siya lumilingon sa akin. Inaasahan kong tatakbo siya pabalik sa akin at yayakapin ako niya nang mahigpit. Because I am his child. I am his daughter."Ikulong niyo siya! She's grounded!" Bigla akong hinawakan ng mga bodyguards ni daddy saka pilit na inakyat sa hagdan. I tried on escaping at their holds but because of their strength and numbe

Eliyah's POVTumalim ang tingin ko sa kanya pagkatapos niyang sabihin iyon. "Hindi..." mariin kong saad.Ano'ng tingin niya sa akin? Gagamitin ko ang katawan ko para doon? I may not be pure and as innocent as other girls but I'm not that kind of girl who would use her body for the sake of material things. I am not that kind of girl.Tumikhim siya saka nagseryoso. "Well, if that's what you want," he said then turned his back at me.Kumuha siya ng isang maliit na plato saka nilagay doon ang naka-plastic na lugaw. Inilagay niya iyon sa tray saka inilapit sa akin. "Kailangan mong kumain para bumalik ang lakas mo." marahan niyang ani. Kung hindi lang dahil sa sinabi niya kanina ay baka iisipin kong malinis talaga ang intensyon niya. Pero ngayon... hindi kaya tinutungan niya lang ako para sa sinasabi niya kanina?"What do you really want?" tanong ko.Kumunot ang noo niya sa akin. Tumigil siya sa paghalo ng lugaw at saka ako tiningnan nang mariin. "Kung iniisip mong ginagawa ko 'to para ma

Eliyah's POVMaagang umalis si Justine kinabukasan. Pagkagising ko ay wala na siya. He left a note on the fridge saying that he went to school early because he has some errands to take care of. Pagkatapos kong basahin ang note na iniwan niya ay saka ako naghanda ng plato para sa akin. I also prepared a cup of milk for myself. Hindi ko na kailangan pang magluto ng umagahan ko dahil nakapaghanda na pala si Justine. Alas syete pa lang naman pero nakalimutan kong maaga pala ang pasok siya. For months that I stopped going to School, I still remember the lifestyle of a student. Getting up and preparing early in the morning, staying up late just to review for tomorrow's exams or quizzes, and partying because of a high score.Napangiti ako habang inaalala ang lahat ng iyon. At some point, do I regret this pregnancy? Mayroon akong tyansang ipa-abort ang bata. If that happened, I am very much sure I could continue my study. Pero buti na lang ay pinagpatuloy ko ang pagbubuntis ko. I regret nothi

Eliyah's POVMy little sobs are the only sound heard in his bedroom. Nilipat niya ako kaninang madaling araw pagkatapos ng lahat ng ginawa niya sa akin. Nakakadiri. Nandidiri ako sa sarili. I felt used and betrayed. Kung alam ko lang na mangyayari ito, sana hindi na ako humingi ng tulong sa kanya! I could've just worked hard to survive! Ang tanga tanga ko! At si Rex? Where is he now? Ano'ng ginagawa niya rito? How did he know that I'm here? Hindi ko maiwasang umasa pa rin na darating siya at ililigtas ako rito... kahit na alam kong hindi. I didn't even know if that really was Rex or I just misheard it? But a part of me knew... a part of me is saying that it really is Rex. And somehow, I feel that it was Rex. Hindi na ako nakatulog ba buong magdamag habang si Justine ay payapang natutulog sa tabi ko. I want to stab him while he's fast asleep but I don't how powerful his family is... hindi ko alam kung ano ang makakaya nilang gawin. Then I thought of leaving him now... but I realized
